Yo! Did you know that there are some AUs already out where Bruno took Mirabel with him when he left? I haven't seen the full thing yet. From what I have seen though is that He sees the rift that starts to grow between Her and the family and wants to protect her. That is all I know though. Have you seen this AU yet, if so what do you think?
Hey! Yes I've seen this AU but also haven't read it so I could be completely wrong with my assumptions
I kinda get where it's coming from but I personally am not really invested in it. I think it would actually form an even bigger rift because then the family might actually outcast Bruno and Mirabel, refusing to talk about them and no side would understand at all how they're feeling or what's actually causing the cracks. Also I don't think Mirabel as a 5 year old would want to leave her family to live inside the walls. And her family does love her, why take her away from her loving parents?? Imagine a five year old Mirabel at her failed gift ceremony, traumatised confused and scared, and then her tío comes to hide her away because she didn't get a gift. In the movie she feels like an outsider, but that AU would literally make her one, imagine growing up like this.
Idk, I think Bruno is a great uncle and I love his and Mirabel's dynamic. But I can't really imagine him raising Mirabel. And from the movie it doesn't seem like she had a miserable life, her family loves her, even if they don't understand her fully or really show it they way she needs. And yes Abuela is too harsh and makes Mirabel feel like she's to blame.. but that would only get worse if she literally hid away because of it.
Unless this is when she's 15. But still then nothing would've been learned, Abuela wouldn't see the hurt she causes and would continue to push these extremely high expectations on everyone so everyone would be miserabel (probably even more than before). Mirabel would also be miserabel because she'd basically outcast herself from the family (and my point still stands, she loves her family and they love her) and I mean.. Bruno wasn't exactly happy either, he literally says he never left because he loves his family. It's more understandable for her to want to run away after the house breaks down which she did but... idk this still doesn't sit right with me.
At least that's what I think but idk like I said I don't know much about this AU either I just have a lot of love for this movie
