Hi I just needed to like, get this out of my head. So.

Encanto.

Bruno, totes queer. Idk what spectrum of queer. I honestly don't care. Maybe he's aspec, maybe he's gay, maybe he's both. Maybe he's a homoromantic asexual or a homosexual aromatic. Maybe he's a bisexuality disaster. Idk, but man is queer AF. Abuela is obsessed with legacy and she somehow didn't manage to convince her only son to procreate? Yeah.

Anyway, point is - he's our queer uncle. I will come back to this.

The house, yeah, la casita? Totes Abuelo Pedro's spirit. Playful and loving, keeping a watchful eye on his family and has the ability to nudge the magic. I will ALSO come back to this.

Here's where our story actually begins, and it does not begin with Mirabel.

It begins with Camilo. Camilo, who is only a few months older than Mirabel. They were best friends when they were wee ones. They shared the nursery together, all their siblings having long vacated it by the time they came around.

Camilo, who was born Camila. Who always knew he wasn't the little girl his mama and papa insisted he was. He tried to tell them, more than once. But it was always 'Little Camilita and her games! Such a character!'

No one believed him.

No one except for Mirabel.

Mirabel, who would stubbornly stomp her foot and burst into tears whenever she saw that Camilo was upset because the family Just Didn't Get It. She would loudly pronounce that 'Camil-OH was the BEST cousin and the BESTEST little BROTHER Dolores has and the COOLEST SON Tia Pepa and Tio Félix would ever EVER have'. The family saw Mirabel as excitable and dramatic and a little too invested in their nursery games, but didn't hear her. And didn't see Camilo.

At least, not until the day he got his door.

On that day he was so nervous and anxious and he didn't feel RIGHT because Abuela and Mama put him in this dress and wouldn't listen to him when he said he didn't wanna wear it.

But then.

But THEN.

He walks up the steps and he gets to his door, and when he reaches out and touches the doorknob everything suddenly feels right for the FIRST TIME. His door glows, and he sees the image of himself before he realizes what exactly has happened. It's an overlay of silhouettes, and at the center... is him, is a little boy with a sweet but mischievous grin.

He gasps, awed and delighted and excited, and whirls to show his family - and oh, oh they have seen. Abuela's eyes are wide. She fumbles.

And it's Bruno who steps forward, who understands first. He didn't know before this moment, because the little ones were a bit afraid of him and he was a bit afraid of them because like wtf do you even talk to a kid about? But he could connect the dots now. And he smiles and his holds up a hand to offer a high-five and he says, 'Congats, Camilo.'

And it's the first time a GROWN UP called him by HIS NAME! Camilo grins, so fucking excited, and that excitement and appreciation and thoughts of Bruno fill him up. He jumps and goes to high-five Bruno, and turns into him!

As one, the family and the crowd sighs - because it all makes sense now, of course, Little Camila is a shapeshifter!

Only Bruno and Mirabel, clinging to her mama's skirts with the rest of the family, see the hurt on Camilo's face as he realizes this is all gonna be ignored, too.

Except.

Except Camilo has the power now to be EXACTLY who he is, and he's gonna use it.

Over the next few weeks, tensions begin to rise because Camilo - when not playing with his gift - always defaults back to the same little boy from the first night. Bit by bit, the rest of the family start to get it - and while many aren't really sure how to feel about it, they begin to come around.

All except Abuela.

Because what does this mean? Why is this happening? Their Gifts were supposed to help them serve the town and protect them, not be used in a selfish way to cause dissent! She doesn't understand. She doesn't try to understand.

One night, Camilo hears thunder. This doesn't scare him, not really. Thunder usually just means his mom is worked up about something. So Camilo isn't scared. But he IS incredibly curious, so he sneaks out of his room and down the hall, and as he gets closer, under the thunder he hears voices.

His mama's, Tio Bruno's, and Abuela's.

And they're fighting... about him.

"It is not right!" Abuela says. "It is not... natural!"

"Mama!" Pepa protests as hail begins to clatter onto the floor. "We all have magical gifts and a talking house! My son just having to go an extra step to get all the boy bits hardly counts as being unnatural compared to that!"

"Well, I mean, the house doesn't talk but it does have a personality," Bruno mumbles. "I like to think it's dad, you know, watching out for us. I think-"

"Bruno, if your father could see what you have become he would be sick in the heart."

Bruno flinches, and thunder crashes.

Something else rumbles too, something other than thunder. Something that feels like it came from the bones of the house. Camilo is afraid of THAT sound, that quake beneath his feet, and he scurries back to bed.

That night, after rowing with her children, Abuela prays. She prays to Pedro, she says, "Pedro my love, if you are still here with us... if you can see us and help us... please. Help us. Sometimes I feel like I am losing them. I do not understand. Help me see, Pedro. Help me."

And it isn't long, and then it's Mirabel's turn at her door.

And here's where we get back to that bit about the house. And how it's can influence things. And how maybe it really IS Pedro looking out for his familia. Because there is Mirabel, looking up at her glowing door, and she was always the one with the most open mind. She accepted Camilo right off the bat. She doesn't need people's gifts to tell her who they are, she SEES. And he knows that's what his love needs. He knows that is what his family needs. But he needs to make them see her, he needs to make sure that they are not distracted by shiny magic because, as he has always known, the Gift has always been his family. His beautiful love and their children and now their children's children. The Gift is them, not some magic that they have.

So as Mirabel touches the door, he blows it away. Like the flicker of a candle extinguished by the wind, where only a single twist of smoke remains.

And Abuela knows. She knows this means SOMETHING. But instead of reading this sign as a reminder that their children ARE the gifts, she sees it as a reprimand for not listening TO the gifts. If the magic says Camilo is supposed to be a boy, then Camilo is a boy- who is she to doubt the miracle?

And while it's good that Camilo can be fully accepted now, the reasons and the motives behind that acceptance are skewed. Because it is a blacker mark on a Madrigal to not have a gift than to be trans, at least through Abuela's eyes. Mirabel has no door, no gift, and to pile on top of all of that, Tio Bruno leaves too.

And Camilo - Camilo is SO CURIOUS about Tio Bruno. The moment he's gone, he's all Camilo wants to talk about.

But Pepa is hurting. Her brother left them. Moreover, her brother left Camilo! Camilo, who could have used some guidance from the one other queer man in the family.

"We don't talk about Bruno," she tells him for the hundredth time. "We don't talk about Bruno!"

"But Mama why!?"

And Pepa, angry and grieving and confused, tells her son that her brother was a troublemaker, that he abandoned the family, that he doesn't care about them, that he even ruined her wedding day.

Camilo is hurt, and he doesn't understand why. He's too young to realize that he'd already started to form a bond with Bruno, that he was already starting to look up to him - because Bruno was the first adult to acknowledge him - the first adult to SEE him. Because Bruno, Bruno felt a little bit like him, in some ways, even though he wasn't sure at the time why or how.

And to make this easier to compute, that this man who should have been his Tio, his family, his guide, left him right as he was stepping into his journey - being a trans-boy with the ability to shapeshift - left him... left all of them ~ Camilo makes him a caricature in his brain. Because he can't miss someone he barely knew, right? He can't miss someone that was clearly that bad... right?

He gives him a seven foot frame, rats along his back.

And when he calls your name... it all fades to black.

I create headcanons, particularly aro/ace-spec ones, although I’ll do anything that isn’t MAPs.

Asks are welcome! If you want to make a request, send the character, what I should put their identity as, and a list of flags. If you send bi-oriented aroace, I will try to find a flag for that specific identity, but will also do the bi flag and oriented aroace flag in case that was what you meant. I won’t do the aroace flag or the asexual flag or the aromatic flag unless you say, bi, oriented aroace, aromantic, asexual, and aroace, because that gets to be kind of a lot to keep track of if I don’t have a list. If it’s a character I’ve done before it will be the same image unless you request otherwise. You can send specific images in to be made into icons. If it’s from a fandom I haven’t posted before, please say, “this character from this” so i don’t accidentally do a character from something else. characters I’ve done:

Character ask game: Bruno

BRUNITO!! HERE WE GO BABYYYY

⚧ - Pronoun hc: he/him.

🏳️‍⚧️- Gender hc: a cissy male,, but I also like the hc that he's trans (AFAB)💖

🏳️‍🌈- Orientation hc: asexual aromatic 😭✊

🌌- zodiac sign hc: I think the triplets were all born on October 17th, the start of the thousand day's war. So he's a Libra ♎💖💖

🧠- MBTI/Enneagram hc: legit had to google this, its that personality test with all the funky letters... honestly its too complex for my little brain and I think Bruno would say the same, he'd probably say something like: I don't know! Urm... I guess I have average personality *awkward smile*

❤- OTP hc: Bruno & himself 🥰🫂🫂

🧡- Everyone I ship with this character: ...😶

💛- Brotp: the FAB trio! Otherwise known as: Bruno, Félix and Agustín 🥰

💚- Notp: just... basically anything that's romantic 😭

💙- Crossover ship: Bruno and the onceler- jk NOONE-

💜- Crossover non-ship relationship I like: I'm not really big into crossovers (excluding Roger Rabbit, of course🐰) but I've seen some cute art of Bruno and Hector from coco interacting, so them🥰

📖- AU I'd like to see them in: Love me a good modern AU. I always smile at the idea of Bruno watching ratatouille after coming out the walls and being absolutely GLUED to the TV😭😭

❤🩹- Angsty hc: I love projecting onto my favourite characters, so Bruno has: OCD (this was basically confirmed so YAY! SO HAPPY 🥰🥰), that can be debilitating; an eating disorder, heart palpitations and a tendency to self harm. I mean, he hits his head as a compulsion, as someone who does that too, I can confirm that it is a form of self punishment. Yeah, not fun. And... come on, he was bullied in school, look at him-

💖- Happy hc: HAPPY THINGS! Bruno is an artist, fight me, he excelled at all the creative subjects in school. Hes best uncle😤😤😤 hes like the fun, doesn't shout, laid back uncle and all the kids love him. He loves his little rat babies and coddles them to an insane degree, to the point where Pepa and Julieta are like: are we bad parents/ hj-

😋- Funny/stupid hc: He can be very agile at the weirdest times but hellishly clumsily the rest of the time, I have an image in my head THAT IVE WANTED TO DRAW FOR THE LONGEST TIME, of when he was still the 🌟golden child🌟 and gave an amazingly good vision to this guy, Alma wanted to capture the moment in a picture: so she stands behind him, looking proud, hands on his shoulders, he's smiling all big while holding up the vision and the guy who got it, is standing next to him with a thumbs up... but Bruno’s teeth are like FUCKED UP because a few weeks previously he went flying into a wall and several of them fell out-

🪞- Appearance hc: not sure what to say since we all know what this man looks like... but I do hc him as having really bad acne scars in school, so much so that you can still see some of them.

🥖- Food hc: like I said... he's got eating issues but ignoring that- I think he's generally a bit fussy with his meals (I'm projecting again😶)and has been since he was young, Alma definitely worried over it😫 GIVE THIS WOMAN A BREAK- but I think he favoured salty things and soft meat/ things that don't have a tough consistency.

🛌- Sleep hc: he has sleeping issues ESPECIALLY after years of having to sleep in a chair. But now that he has a bed again, as soon as his back hits that flat soft surface, he's out like a light🥺🥺

🏡- Domestic hc: everyone agrees with this but I'm saying it again! His sisters fuss over him so much and treat him like he's years younger than them❤ Alma too. And for most of his life, he was called "Brunito" by his family, he was only really called "Bruno" if he was in trouble😭

🗡- Badass hc- we all know he'll do anything for his family, he's so selfless, honestly whats more badass than that? He definitely pretended to curse people if they threatened them, being mean to him is okay... but speaking to his family like they owe you something? You're dead.

❓- Anything else you want: hmm hmmmmm,,, what else??? That he gets sick often, always has but now moreso, his family are here to help tho!😭💖💖😫😫😫

I made a little one-shot of Bruno coming out... Well, kind of; he does so without knowing what ‘coming out’ is or what ‘aro/ace’ is. I mean, this is 1918.

Anyway, feast:

Slight TW: eating issues (mentioned briefly)

--- -- -

Bruno sucked in enough air to fill both his lungs and took long strides forward. He'd been thinking about this all night; using his gift to make sure this was the right choice. However, he only saw new scenes from the strange rodent-play his ability apparently really wanted him to see. But he supposed it was relevant. A character in it lead the life he aspired for and was accepted by his family; surely that was a good sign.

He took some more (stalling) deep breaths before rounding the corner to greet his mother, who was hunched over the kitchen table: fixing up holes in one of Pepa's dresses.

“What is it, cariño?” she asked. Eyes never leaving the needle.

Better cut straight to the chase. She's busy.

Okay, Bruno... you can do this! You can do this, you can do this! Just like we practiced. Ready? Speak now in:

“W-well, you know how Pepa got a boyfriend and- well, maybe Juli might get one soon? And then you’d probably-"

“Do you have a girlfriend, Bruno?” Alma’s head snapped up and away from her work. An unfamiliar look was in her eyes and it made Bruno stutter back in fear.

“Who is she?” She asked. Voice small and-

Did she look... anxious?

Isn't that my thing? His brain quipped, a bit angrily; she’d previously implied that that was an imperfection of his.

He waved his hands, trying to shoo away her sudden disappointment, as well as his awful thoughts regarding his madre.

“Ur- no, no I don’t, that’s what I came to talk to you about." He tilted his head as his face began careening towards the floor; breaking into a nervous smile.

His mother sighed to herself. Relieved. She adjusted the cuffs of her blouse before folding her hands in perfect, stoic silence, then she cleared her throat:

“Alright? What is it, then?” her voice was steely as she peered down at him from barely-open eyes, face so upright and regale it made Bruno cough into his chest.

“Ya-you know how Señor Flores doesn’t have a wife or-or anything like that?”

Alma raised an eyebrow.

“Of course, he doesn’t. He’s a priest.”

Her son laughed anxiously; then started to twirl the fabric of his ruana around his skeletal fingers. Alma tapped them away, unhappy with his childish fiddling. Her touch might have lingered on his knuckles for a bit too long however...

She needed to fatten him up.

“Hmm-" Bruno pulled his fingers away and played it off like he was itchy: quickly brushing his palms up and down the sides of his torso. "‐and I know I’m not one... but I do go to church every Sunday! And I’ve been consulting God!" He added proudly.

"I think I’d like to... live a life of celibacy! No romance or anything- anything that comes with it...!” Alma didn’t miss the disgust that washed over his face as he said that. “... is... that okay...?”

For a moment, his rapid heartbeat was all he could hear.

“Oh, Brunito! Such a martyr you are!” Alma smiled. The black shawl she mostly covered her arms with, billowed around her shoulders when she clasped her hands together in glee. Glee that was much greater than she allowed herself to show. After all, no-one could truly be good enough for her son.

That and he was too young. Even though she knew he was the same age as his sisters... Still. He still needed her. He was only a bebé.

“That’s brilliant, mi amor!”

“It- it is?”

“Yes! Such a noble sacrifice for our miracle, well done, tesoro!”

She let some of her bold exterior slide and part of her mothering nature step forth because; she pulled Bruno towards her, hugging him in congratulations. Bruno on the other hand... swallowed thickly. A cloud of guilt consuming him like one of Pepa’s rainstorms: from head to toe.

“Ur- heh, heh yeah... sacrifice...”

Was it really a sacrifice if he'd never wanted what he was sacrificing in the first place? He hadn't expected this- or for her to take his words and come up with this meaning. He truly wanted to come clean about a part of himself. He wanted to share and get her respect... acceptance, just by being like this. There was no elaborate reason for this, this was just what he wanted.

Wasn't that enough?

“You’ll have to put more time into your work now, you do realise!" Alma pulled away and held him at an arms length. Her fingers lay atop his protruding collarbones before shifting obviously. "No matchmaking excuses for you, Brunito. If you choose to be treated as a prophet, you must honour the lifestyle of one. Understand? You are married to your work now.”

There was that tone again. The one that demanded order and attention; Bruno was a vertebrae but in moments like these, he had no backbone.

“Oh urm, yes mamá, of course.”

“Good boy, I’ll go inform the village right away.” she smiled.

Just before turning around she cupped his cheek. Bruno’s mouth went dry in confusion and longing. He wanted desperately to feel loved by his mother and she was looking at him with such gentle eyes and stroking his face with such tender warmth... He normally shyed away from eye contact but now, he stared at her with expecting, wide sockets...

“My little prophet...”

Then she was gone.

He sighed. That's not what he wanted her to say...

His eyes moved to the yellow sneaking into his peripheral; unsurprisingly, he was now gazing down at his sister and Félix, giggling and kissing underneath a beautiful double rainbow. He was happy for his sister and he actually liked Félix... but ew. At least he wouldn't have to be doing any of that.

He managed a smile. Mentally preparing for the onslaught of clients his mother's announcement would surely bring...
