Headcanon:
Bruno will sing little songs to himself and slowly get carried away, singing louder and eventually start dancing around while belting out the song passionately.
He doesn't notice people watching him right away, and when he does suddenly notice he's being watched, he screams. If he's holding something, it gets thrown.

Bruno wanting cuddles and smooches and stuff but being too shy to ask for them?
I love soft Bruno asks. He deserves all the love.
Pairing: Bruno Madrigal x Reader
Tags: fluff, cuddles, hand kisses, gentle kisses, napping, touch-starved Bruno Madrigal,
A/N: I love cuddles but sometimes I'm too shy to ask for them too.
Tumblr media
You'd notice that something was up with him when you would briefly catch him looking at you before he would look away
He'd shyly take your hand in yours while you're walking through the street, with a small smile on his face
When you'd be alone however he would sudden get a whole lot more shy, always looking a little insecure when he wraps his arm around you and pulls you into a hug
If you wrap your arms around him in a hug while hugging he'd freeze up for a moment before letting the warmth of the hug wash over him
You can sense that he wants to ask something but he just can't seem to get the words out
His eyes would widen when ever you'd kiss him
Sometimes he'd let his hand hover over your back for a moment before he lays it on your back and pulls you close, gulping hard as you melt into his touch
When he wants a kiss it would take a lot for him to get to your mouth
Usually he starts by kissing your hand, his eyes locked on yours as he watches for any signs of discomfort or rejection
Finding none he's kiss his way up your arm, then your cheek until his lips are inches away from yours
He'd look at your lips for a few seconds, waiting for you to nod before he presses a gentle kiss onto your lips
After he pulls away you smile brightly at him telling him that you're happy that he finally found a, pretty sweet and romantic way, to ask you for kisses

✨Bruno Madrigal Headcanons✨
Image credit: @ chiguma on Twitter
He loves, I mean LOVES sweets. Julieta has to stop him from eating dessert for supper very often
His eyes are sensitive as a side effect to his gift, so he tries to avoid harsh lighting
His ruana is oversized because it belonged to Pedro. Bruno wears it almost every single day because it's all he has of his father (sorry I made myself sad too)
He gets cold easily
Initiating physical touch is very hard for him, but he loves hugs and physical affection (familial, platonic, or romantic)
He cracks his knuckles all the time and Pepa hates it

Bruno Madrigal Mental Health/Neurodivergence Headcanons 💚
Disclaimer: yes I know the movie is about generational trauma within Latin American culture and I am taking that into account. But I also know this (like all types of trauma) effect mental health GREATLY. Bruno also shows clear ND traits whether that be Autism, ADHD, etc... And are underrepresented in Latin American communities. If you disagree that is fine! But I never intend to ignore the culture in any way. When it comes to the OCD stuff, please know that I am not trying to depict superstition and the condition as being the same thing. Someone can be superstitious and not have OCD and vise-versa. OCD is a complex condition that can become disruptive to someone’s life while a superstition is a type of belief or practice. 
Another thing is that half of these will get pretty heavy in nature since trauma, OCD, depression, etc... Are real issues meant to be taken seriously. I will refrain from sharing headcanons that discuss more triggering subject matter ❤️
Alright here we go. 💚 I'll start with the I guess, lighter ones?
I cannot remember who had this first one originally but I loved it. It's basically an idea where Bruno likes tight hugs and deep pressure. So whenever he’s around people and feels overwhelmed his sisters will hug him really tight to ground him. (Over the years they’ve gotten better at recognzing his behavoiral changes since he has a hard time communicating when he’s experiencing overload or severe anxiety, even Alma has begun doing this) And of course he’ll only let specific people hug him like that. In the rare occasion that he isn’t around them in the village, he’ll either run back home or of course have his rats with him. His rats are wonderful comfort animals. Credit to the person who came up with the deep pressure idea!
Along with the deep pressure theme, Mirabel had this idea for a “cuddle blanket” (or, a weighted blanket) for Bruno. So, the grandkids banded together to help her make it, adding in something special from each of them. Isabela grew Lamb’s Ear and Mullien leaves on the outside of it to give it differing textures (those leaves are EXTREMELY soft, it’s insane). There also little pockets on the sides for his rats to climb in. 
When the triplets were children, Bruno would write little messages in wet sand when he couldn’t verbalize what he needed. Pepa started doing this too when she’d give someone the silent treatment XD. 
This is probably surprising to no one but Bruno has a drawer full of salt containers. 
When Bruno returned, he still felt like an intruder so he would just stay in his tower. His sisters or Mirabel had to practically beg him to get out and be with the family.
He always had a fascination with hourglasses even before he got his gift, when he got his tower it came with a random array of hourglasses, one in particular would detect how much time was left until a certain prophecy was fufilled.
When the triples were younger, Bruno had a habit of tapping on of his sisters’ arm. It didn’t always mean he was nervous, it was just a soothing thing. He still does it occasionally. 
Still to do this day, Bruno will occasionally bury himself in the sand of his tower. 
Bruno either makes too much eye contact, or none at all. Literally, the “seeing your dreams” thing derived from him unknowingly staring at someone.
Bruno’s knowledge of theatre allowed him bond a lot with Camilo, and make him WAY less scared of him.
Sometimes in visions, Bruno will watch movies or plays that haven’t even happened yet and unintentionally spoil the details because he gets so excited. 😂
Sometimes on really bad depression days, the grandkids will play out telenovelas for him so he doesn’t have to get up and force any energy. 
Speaking of depression, since Pepa knows how deep and debilitating emotions can get, she tries her best to get Bruno to vent his feelings (When you know.. he wants to and is willing). This has been a great way to rekindle their sibling relationship, and Julieta, being the nurturer that she is, she does whatever she can to comfort them. There were times where all them have started crying. 
Alma has the hardest time communicating so sometimes she will just go into Bruno’s room just to be there to let him know that she cares about him. 
Bruno adopted some mannerisms that resemble his rats 🐀
Alright, now for the more agnsty ones.
Bruno absolutely despises crowds, before he left, riots would ensue around him made up of angry villagers and he would just shut down, unable to react. To try and distract them, Isabela would swing around on her vine and grow vibrant flowers. Being just a young child, she said she didn’t mind doing it but Bruno hated for her to even be around when it happened, along with any of the other grandkids. They were all too young to witness angry mobs, and he didn’t know how to handle them at all. 
There have been times where Bruno will be up all night sprinkling salt between the tiles of Casita and knocking on door frames. 
Okay so you know how I said he has a collection of hourglasses? Yeah well one day after having an argument with Alma over the townspeople and his gift, he broke one of those hourglasses in anger. What makes matters worse is that it was the large one tied to his power. Luckily, it gradually repaired itself. 
In the first few years of Bruno having his gift, he would cry whenever he had visions because he would have a really hard time processing everything that was going on, like the sights, sounds, bodily sensations, etc.. It was a lot to handle sensory wise, on top of him being a child. 
On the topic of his visions being overwhelming, there were times where Bruno would cause himself to bleed from scratching his eyes so hard, luckily he hasn’t blinded himself (well... yet any way).
Sadly there are things Julieta’s food can’t heal, like Bruno’s vision headaches and the recurring bruises on his knuckles. 
Bruno has a really bad habit of hitting himself in the head and puling his hair. His rats are fortunately able to prevent him from doing this by distracting him. 
Bruno has a very vague idea of what he looks like because of his eisoptrophobia (or spectrophobia, fear of mirrors). He only knows from Camilo or distorted reflections in glass or porcelian. His family has been trying to help ease his anxiety with gradual success. 
There are times where Bruno will be so disoriented from a vision or dream he had that he will have severe derealization for a few days. (A state of feeling detached from yourself and or your surroundings or feeling like things aren’t real). 
After Pedro died, Alma became hypervigilant and grew more superstitious for a few years, so she often blames herself for Bruno’s ecessive superstitiousness and anxiety. (She blames herself for so many things...)
I might add to this?? Idk <3

Bruno's Dating Life After the Movie
Ok, so obviously this is eventually (hopefully) going to be disproven if/when we get more canon, but then it just becomes an AU. This one is a bit shorter than my usual lists of headcanons, mostly because I like to think Bruno's life starts mellowing out after the movie. The worst of his life is all behind him and now things are steadily improving for him.
Mountains open up and new people arrive in Encanto
One of them is a youngish woman who quickly becomes fascinated by Bruno's gift.
She starts visiting him regularly to conduct experiments, asking him to look a minute into the future, or find specific events. She is very scientific about it, and will occasionally get frustrated when there is no hard and fast rule to be derived from these experiments.
Bruno enjoys giving her visions because he's also fairly curious about how all this magic stuff actually works, and it's always nice when people come to him for something other than "Will I have wrinkles when I'm 80?"
They get along well, bond over similar likes and dislikes, and ultimately develop feelings.
She asks him on a date, and he agrees. It goes really well, they both have a great time, but ultimately there's something nagging in the back of Bruno's head.
It clicks when he sees her interact with his family, she has nothing in common with them. She isn't rude to them per say, but she's too old to really bond with any of his nieces, and just isn't vibing with his sisters or brother in laws. She likes kids, but he figures you can't invite a ten year old out for drinks when you need advice about your neurotic husband. If they were to get married and she moved in, he would be the only person in the house whose company she really enjoyed.
After another two dates he brings this up with her, asks if she could see herself feeling at home with his family. For her credit she is honest with herself and realizes, no, Bruno is the only Madrigal she really clicks with.
They part ways amicably. It's the most peaceful break-up Bruno has ever had, and he comes away from it feeling a bit more confident in his dating abilities.
Their feelings settle into friendship and it eventually occurs to Bruno that she would probably get along well with his favorite baker, so he introduces them and ends up giving a stuttered speech at their wedding. This furthers his impression that dating him isn't a horrid curse.
When he's in his sixties a man comes to town with his two grandchildren and sets up a bookstore.
The younger grandchild starts attending Bruno's weekly story time and reports it back to her Abuelo. He decides to invite Bruno to the bookstore to read to kids once a week.
They bond over literature and a love of kids.
It takes two years for the guy to figure out Bruno leans his way, and once he does, he immediately asks Bruno out. Bruno spend a few seconds in shock, he hadn't realized his friend was a part of the queer community.
They date, it turns into a very sweet relationship.
They discuss becoming something serious, but at this point in their lives, neither of them really wants to spend the time to build the relationship into a lifelong partnership. They are both content being the unwed tio or widowed abuelo respectively.
The fact that neither of them needs more than the other can give works in their favor, and although the relationship never becomes a full partnership, they fall in love and stay committed to each other for the rest of the abuelo's life.
I headcanon that the Madrigals live a bit longer than most due to all the magic healing food they eat, so Bruno out lives his boyfriend by a few decades. He debates putting himself back out there, but he never really stops being in love with his boyfriend. In his last few years he contemplates if he regrets not exchanging vows, or at least moving in together, but ultimately decides that although the romance was a bit nontraditional, it was what he needed. They were happy, that was enough.

Oh Bruno is ABSOLUTELY the father who witnesses his kids doing something cute and has to excuse himself from the room so he can squee and fanboy over his adorable offspring in peace audksjfjsjvdl
SO TRUE ANON! Hes definitely the type to like show off pictures from his wallet or phone and then wont shut up about talking about each picture 💖💖💖 I definitely see him as the type of parent to just spoil his kids often (much to Eva's dismay ). He adores his kiddos and I bet you he's the dopey dorky affectionate father that whenever he tries to play it cool his kids would probably yell out stuff like "PAPAAAA YOURE EMBARRASSING MEEE" etc etc
Bruno would be such an adorable father istg , he'd give his kids really cute nicknames just to mess with them and would always see them as babies even after they turn 20 or something

Still working on the newest chapter and got a question for you all, since a scene of the chapter made me think a lot about this:
Sometimes I read stories where Bruno's visions are inevitable. Sometimes I read stories where the future can be changed.
The movie doesn't give us a lot about that, I think. Mirabels future wasn't set in stone and Bruno kinda treated that as if that was something extraordinary. But I just can't believe that that was the first time. I mean, if he has a vision of someone hurting themselves in an accident, shouldn't he be able to tell that person "Hey, maybe don't do that dangerous thing you were going to do."
Is he able to prevent things or is it some kind of Final Destination scenario where things that are meant to happen, will happen, no matter what.
Was Mirabels vision really so special or was it only special because it was Mirabels vision and a vision about the family. Not because it showed two different outcomes.
Has that actually happened before and has he tried warning people about forks in the future in the past just to be brushed aside and blamed because he's Bruno and "everyone always assumes the worst?"

Headcanon:
Julieta knew Bruno was living behind the walls for years.  Being the person who spent the most time in the kitchen, she could often hear him shuffling around or muttering to himself behind the wall.  She made a few attempts to talk to him, but he never responded and would just get silent.  And although she never told the rest of the family, she would make food and leave it in the kitchen specifically for him to make sure her brother never went hungry.
* * * * *
I just thought of this while wondering what Julieta was thinking all those years about all that missing food and now I’m sad so bye.

*Mirabel's 16th birthday*
Bruno: I can't believe you betrayed me.
Mirabel: I'm sorry, Tío, but I can't help it.
Bruno: *pouts* Antonio is my new favorite.
Antonio: Don't worry, Tío. I'll never betray you.
*Antonio's 18th birthday*
Bruno: *pouting in the corner, poking at his cake*
Julieta and Pepa: *snickering at him* What's wrong, tiny tío?
Bruno: *glares at them*
Antonio: Sorry I got taller than you, Tío.
Bruno: *sigh* It's ok, Toni. Guess I'm just destined to be the shortest.

Comforting an Anxious Bruno Madrigal
Pairing: Bruno Madrigal x Reader
Tags: hurt/comfort, fluff, established relationship, comfort kisses, comforting touches, anxiety
A/N: I definitely think it'd take Bruno some time to get used to being around a lot of people again.
Tumblr media
Bruno is very used to being alone with his thoughts so it takes him a while to adjust to being in large crowds of people
In addition he also doesn't feel comfortable being in big open spaces for a very long amount of time
When ever the two of you go for a date in the town, or just a walk together, he's always a little tense at first, adjusting to all the unmuffled noise around him
At first he was a little jumpy around the town folk and understandably so, they always thought he brought bad luck
It was weird for the people to see him walking around again, it was a very tense and awkward atmosphere at first
You always held his hand, your thumb caressing the back of his hand in soothing circles, offering him comforting smiles whenever he glances your way
Over time it became easier for him to interact with the people in town and he started to visit you late at night rather than you always going over to his room
Of course his mice accompany him, sometimes arriving before him, bringing you flowers
But he still doesn't like spending a lot of time outside, with lost of eyes on him
When he feels overwhelmed he pulls his hood up over his head in an attempt to hide his face, his hands having a tight grip on his poncho
If he does that then you will loop your arm around his, lead him either to your house or his room, which ever is closer, pull his hood back and slowly kiss his face and lips, leaning his head on your chest and just telling him to breathe along with you
When he calms down a bit you'll go and eat some of Julieta's cooking, not for any healing but because Bruno loves the food so much, it brings back warm memories to him

CW: alcohol mention pt2!!
Tumblr media
*drunk young Bruno stumbles and hugs a lamp post, looking at (y/n) lovingly*
Bruno: hehehe you were really good at karaoke by the way *giggles*
He looks down, his eyebrows furrows cutely as you can hear the gears in his head turning
Bruno looks up in your eyes, dead serious and smiling
Bruno: I should know, I was looking at you the whole time. I wanted to kiss you, ya know hehe
He squeezes the wooden post that he’s hugging
Bruno: e-everyone was looking at you so… so… I wanted to make sure… that they know.. that… you’re only for me!!! 😤
Birthday party (for a friend) tipsy y’all and ofc gotta have tipsy Bruno too because apparently that’s my priority when I get tipsy. Alcohol is definitely the truth serum for this one and good for him too! It’s good to let out your inner thoughts sometimes. And I’m sure he would most likely be able to be himself when he’s able to relax a bit and have fun with people he trust enough to be loose with! I.e Agustin and Felix!!
Okie have a goodnight friendos hehehe
