#evil!bruno

I'm sorry but I can't picture Villain!Bruno being any more sinister than like...Heinz Doofenshmirtz

[smellslikesushii]

My headcanon for Evil!Bruno is that he would take care of his partner with all the love of the world. They would be like Morticia and Gomez Addams. Two outcasts who only need each other.

Bruno was sitting at his desk, working on answering more of the letters sent to him. Cheerful smile spread across his face as he read some of them. Others made him blush. It was honestly nice getting so much attention after being alone for so long.

He had replied to another letter when the air suddenly felt different. The hair on the back of his neck stood up and he felt uneasy.

"So... this is the version of me that is getting so much attention..."

"WHAA-!'

Bruno let out a cry of surprise as he jumped from his chair, grabbing his upside down broom to ward off any unwelcome guests.

"W-Who are you?! How did you get in here?"

He asked, feeling a bit violated that some stranger entered his room without him even noticing. And what did he mean 'This version of him?'

The man chuckles as reached out gently pushing the broom down so they could actually see each other.

"Now now, don't be like that. If I had wanted to hurt you, I would have done it when your back was turned."

"But to answer your questions. I am you. Just from a different universe. An... alternate universe as some call it. As for how I got in here, that's not important."

The man before Bruno said with a sly grin.

"But you never asked me WHY I'm here... go in. Ask me why."

"...Why are you-"

Bruno didn't even have time to ask when the doubkeganger before him cut him off.

"That's such a good question. Good job."

He said mockingly, patting Bruno on the head as he continued.

"The simple answer is, you're getting a lot of attention here and I want it. So I'll be filling in for you from now on. Which means... You're not needed anymore."

"WAI-"

With a snap of the other Bruno's fingers, there was a flash of brilliant green and Bruno was gone.

"Oh dear... I hope he wasn't about to say something important. Oh well."

He hummed as he picked up a few of the letters Bruno was just reading.

(From this point until either notice, all asks will be asked by this Bruno)

I watched Encanto again today (I just wanted to watch something that would give me a good cry) and I was just thinking... I know that the concept of Evil!Bruno was a somewhat popular one that came out in the wake of the movie coming out like a year ago and the fandom that stemmed from it. But like... Bruno is honestly just a really nice guy who wants the best for the people he loves. It is REALLY hard for me to imagine a version of Bruno that would be genuinely ‘evil’ or ‘villainous’ that wouldn’t just be horrifically out of character. I know that this is just something that’s stemmed from how people have turned him into a sexyman, but still. It’s not a concept that sits the best with me.

However what I can imagine that I think could make for a pretty interesting premise for a story or an ‘evil’ take on Bruno is like... What if at the end of the movie when Mirabel is crying next to the river, her Abuela doesn’t show up. Alma continues to be stubborn and genuinely doesn’t want to see Mirabel again. But Bruno does still arrive. And so after talking for a while, Bruno and Mirabel decide to leave and don’t return to their family, instead deciding to live on their own away from the village that they used to call their home.

I feel like that would work!

OK so after seeing the post of @no-saving-me-now I decided to compare evil Bruno from Bill Schwarb on IG and the actual one we have in the movie because it could be interesting to highlights what makes Bruno cute or scary so let's go!

First detail we can easily notice: his teeth. They're sharps in the evil version and... Normal in the actual one. Actually the evil one's are a bit broken and he misses one. It makes him look a lot like a monster that could eat you for lunch.

Second detail we can notice : The cheeks are plenty on the actual one and sunken on the evil one. As if he was a skeleton while the actual one is made of flesh.

Like the difference between skeleton!Hector and Living!Hector.

A third detail we can notice: Actually I already noticed that in the We don't talk about Bruno song but evil Bruno's mustache is curved. While the actual one's is straighter. It clearly is made to look like a demon in the evil one.

Fourth detail we can notice: His eyebrows are darker, and have sharp sides. Again to make him looks like a demon of course though it isn't the most obvious detail.

Fifth and last detail we can notice: And again one we could already see too in We don't talk about Bruno, briefly though, Bruno's ears are sharp in the evil version. While, again, the actual's are round. Again to make him looks like someone that isn't even human. The sharp ears are even used on some video game heroes as Link from The Legend of Zelda series to show he isn't human. Not necessarily a evil trait but surely doesn't help portray him as someone reliable.

I think that's all? Didn't notice something else but maybe I'm wrong. Well, it was fun to do!

hi evil bruno has captured my brain for the moment and was like “what if he did tattoos” 

[eldrych-thorne]

"Evil... Bruno? That would be unfortunate. I've gotten so used to his cute, dorky self, but thinking about it, I might have a few ideas. If I did evil!Bruno, I would probably pull from the classic Disney Villains who are evil because they want to be and it feels good, not because they're misunderstood. I think Bruno already has the misunderstood title under his belt."

"No, as interesting as it would be, he wouldn't have a seven-foot-frame. And let's just say that "We Don't Talk About Bruno" would be ten times worse..."

((Screw it, I'm posting it here too))

He didn't go into the walls at all, well, he did, but just not to live in them. He was confined to his tower by Abuela when a cruelty streak emerged as he got older. Over time, Bruno was able to escape the tower but was either forced back in before doing something bad or he willingly let himself get dragged back after doing something heinous. It became a game for him. He used to be able to wander around Casita if he behaved but that rarely ever lasted longer than an hour.

Neither Abuela nor his sisters know where this came behavior from. The only reason he hasn't been kicked out or banished from Encanto is that Abuela feels that he is her responsibility and would feel guilty for unleashing him upon the world.

He was/is extremely jealous of his sisters, both in love and in gifts. He often sabotages himself when it comes to a partner and he doesn’t have the capacity to have a normal relationship.

He had become so jealous of Julieta’s gift that he had made arepas made with rat poison which he swapped out with hers for her to hand out to the townsfolk. When it was found out, several townspeople nearly died from poisoning.

Speaking of rat poisoning, he still adores his rats so any rat poison he finds around Casita will most likely just end up in another person's/animal's food.

He tormented Pepa horribly, playing on her emotions. Every little comment he made was crafted to get under her skin and it worked very well. He would gaslight her after he destroyed any good weather she made, saying that it was her own fault that she couldn’t keep a handle on her emotions.

He HATED his gift up until he realized he could use it the way he does now. The spontaneous visions don’t bother him all that much, but he has learned how to make it look as if he’s having a vision in front of people without anything appearing. That way he could tell them a specific date and walk away laughing.

It wasn’t until his sisters got married and Bruno got punched in the face by Agustín, of all people, that he left them alone and started targeting the kids. Félix would have done it sooner if Pepa hadn’t begged him not to. Agustin punching Bruno made Abuela like him more.

He would go out of his way to scare his nieces and nephew(s) and tell them things that they couldn't tell was a prophecy or him being mean. He didn't normally attend the gift ceremonies so he didn't know which kid had what, but upon finding out, he'd mess with them horribly.

Dolores: His behavior ranged between sneaking up behind her and making a loud noise to mess with her hearing or by climbing into the walls and finding her bedroom at night only to whisper horrible things for her to do when she got up. Most of the time, she doesn’t know it’s him and she believes she’s sick or possessed. She refuses to tell anyone about it, at least, not before Mariano came into her life. Bruno flat out told her Mariano would never love her and wanted Isabela over her.

Isabela: He doesn’t mess with Isabela. Abuela kept her too close and gave her permission to use flowering thorn bushes on him if he ever came near her. As revenge, he gave her the prophecy that was given in the movie, only he told her that if she did not do everything Abuela told her to do, she would never have the life she wanted, which was the opposite.

Camilo: Camilo was/is Bruno’s favorite, mainly because Camilo would engage in pranks that Bruno approved of. When he realized the kid could shapeshift, Bruno used him to cause HAVOC in town. Camilo didn’t question Bruno until he convinced him to turn into Pedro in front of Abuela on the day Pedro died and pretended to die again. Upon seeing Abuela’s devastated expression, Camilo realized what he was doing was wrong and turned on his uncle. Regardless, he’s still Bruno’s fav since Bruno still has the ability to talk him into pranks.

Luisa: Bruno doubled down on her fear of not being good enough and letting everyone down to the point that the girl pushed herself to the point of collapsing due to exhaustion. He’d just shrug at her when she just finished a tedious task, tuttering and telling her that Abuela wouldn’t approve if the task was off by even an inch, that if she really wanted Abuela to love her, she’d do it all over again to get it right.

Mirabel: He pretends she doesn’t exist. At. All. No matter if she’s talking to him or right in front of her, he’d knock her out of the way as if she wasn’t just standing there. When he did finally talk to her, it was one of the worst days of Mirabel’s life: Antonio’s Gift Ceremony.

Bruno would often show up in places he was not wanted. And he knows he's not wanted. Usually, his presence means he saw something bad and he wanted to see it in person OR something bad didn’t happen and he was just there to cause anxiety or do something he thought should have happened, say kick a ladder out from under a person using it then nonchalantly walk away, all because he was bored.

When he showed up at Antonio's gift ceremony, the family began to panic. The last time he showed up to an event like this was Mirabel's gift ceremony when she did not receive a gift. When Antonio was given a gift, Abuela gave him a smug smirk, only to realize that she was receiving one in return.

When Mirabel cut her hand, she felt a hand running through her hair as someone walked around her from behind. Bruno’s green eyes peered down at the cut.

“Oh. That looks bad. You might want to tell Abuela,” was all he said to her in a soft, serious tone before heading up to his tower. Unbeknownst to Mirabel, he was smirking uncontrollably the moment he turned away from her. From there, everything started to fall apart.
