Some Bruno hcs that live rent free in my head:
Has these little green reading glasses that he uses to read (obviously)
They have a chain attached to them that Mirabel made when she was like 3 or 4 (yknow like the little glasses chain that loops around so you can take the glasses off and have them hang around your neck)
Can hear his visions sometimesālike if it's a vision of someone talking to someone else he can hear the conversation (though it's very rare; when it does happen though, it takes a lot out of him)
Can feel most of his involuntary visions coming up to an hour before they happen
It starts as a fuzzy pressure behind his eyes like a tension headache and the intensity increases until it finally shows itself
His involuntary visions can also be very sudden; one second he's talking to his sisters or making coffee and the next his eyes go wide and start glowing as green images flash in his sight and when he comes back he's lightheaded and a bit confused but ultimately unfazed (albeit annoyed)
It scares the shit out of most, but Pepa and Julieta are pretty much used to it by now and they make sure he doesn't faint on the spot when he comes to
Speaking ofāwhen they happen, Bruno can't see anything other than the vision; so from the outside, they can see his eyes glowing as he looks around frantically, but he's still aware of his surroundings so he can still hear and feel them outside of his vision, but it's somewhat difficult to respond when he's not doing a prophecy and it's just an inv. one
Has a severe sweet tooth (will eat any candy EXCEPT licorice, but dark chocolate is his most favorite and everyone disagrees except for Julieta)
Pepa: THAT'S NOT CHOCOLATE THAT'S DIRT
Bruno: it's better than milk chocolate
Pepa: take it back. Take it back rIGHT NOW OR ISTG-
Rarely ever drinks, but when he does he's a spacey drunk (and a fuckn lightweight)
Like he'll just sit there staring at the floor while AgustĆn and FĆ©lix are joking around and Julieta will come in and be like "wait are you. Are you drunk?" And Bruno will look up at her, deadpan, and go "heheh. yeah"
Is emotionally attached to his ruana and if he loses it he loses his shit and is very anxious and upset until he finds it again
Camilo got the :3 smile from Bruno
Camilo's is more pronounced but Bruno's is still there :3
Does a lil squeak sometimes like Dolores,,, a smol "hm",,,,
Has a funky ass high-pitched scream and is v embarrassed abt it (this is basically canon tho bc his sCREECH WHERE MIRABEL DROPPED HIM I- PFFHSHSHHAHSHSSH)
Is probably aro/ace (I understand that some people are going a bit too far with the lgbt hcs, I just wanna say that is not what I am doing here; I know the movie is about family relationships, Colombia, generational trauma and finding self-worth!! I promise I'm not trying to take away from the main theme, it's just a lil idea in my head, that's all <'3)
Definitely a sneezes-in-threes guy (they used to be super loud but now he sneezes like a mouse (or a rat hahsgdakgjgd))
When Bruno is sick/very VERY tired, his powers get wack (as does the other Madrigal's)
Constant visions, left and right, about things that will either happen the second he stops seeing it or things that won't happen until like 100 years later; his eyes won't stop glowing even when he's not seeing the future; one sneeze causes either a plethora of sudden visions or fastforwards time by like a couple seconds, leaving everyone in the Encanto confused as to how they were just getting up to go get a snack to already looking in the pantry
Has visions in his sleep but usually can't remember them until they happen
If he manages to sleep at all that is
He's a very light sleeper, the smallest creak leaves him wide awake
Doesn't snore. Like at all. Unlike Pepa who sounds like a friggin freight train
Has very quiet footsteps, sneaks up on everyone unintentionally (one time Pepa was reading a book and she looked up and he was just standing there in the doorway staring at her and she was like "HOW TF DID I NOT HEAR YOU"
The last 3 above are all probably either just how he is or because of him hiding in the walls
Has surprisingly great hygiene
Cares a LOT about the rats and was overjoyed to be able to communicate with them when Antonio offered to translate
Bruno doesn't consider the rats his rats; "they just kinda adopted me, I guess" he told Mirabel and Camilo when they asked about it
Used to be mistaken for a little girl sometimes when he was a kid once his hair started growing out
This prompted Julieta and Pepa to dress him up like a sister all the time, and he honestly didn't mind it; his "sister name" was "brunilda"
Sometimes his visions give him nosebleeds or sore eyes (his sight gets kinda fuzzy for a few days but it's nothing terrible)
When he's not nervous or stressed, Bruno is a pretty laid-back chill kind of guy, might have been a little troublemaker in his early years
Is really good with kids; Hernando and Jorge used to be his imaginary friends but he brought them back for his sister's kids
Basically he's That One Uncle That Everyone Thinks Is On Drugs Or Has Done Drugs But He's Really Just Naturally Like Thatā¢
I'll add more when I'm not about to pass out from lack of sleep šš
