#Let's talk about Bruno

[i-oooo]

We should talk about Bruno

Now that Bruno finally feels safe and loved again by his family in Casita, he decides to explore the village again after years of solitude. People are still scared or nervous around him in the beginning, but in time they losen up and see him for what he really is; an autistic introvert who happens to see bits of the future.

He becomes friends with a few of the local rats and one evening they lead him to the mill where they sometimes go to find grain.

The miller is a strong, fat cutie and Bruno feels all sorts of feelings the first time he gets caught collecting food with the rats. How did Bruno not know of this lovely man living up on the hill? For all these years he was right there.

The miller introduces himself as Fernando and asks Bruno and the rats to please stay out of his mill with a "next time, just ask" and a casual smile.

Bruno takes him up on the offer and the two of them ends up in deep conversations about their passions, their childhood trauma and growing up gay in a comphet society. The rats come with Bruno in the beginning but soon they tell him to go on his own. Hesitantly he goes on his own.

When Bruno finally finds the courage to ask Fernando out, it is awfully clumsy of course. But he just gasps "I thought you would never ask!"

Bruno blinks. He starts tapping the old pattern on the side of the mill knock, knock, knock, knock on wood but just when he gets to knock his head the second time, Fernando offers his hand. Bruno blinks again, stopping his pattern and slowly reaches out to hold his hand.

"I'm not... very good at this .." he mumbles.

Fernando smiles patiently and tells him "I don't have a lot of experience either. After many years, I sort of just came to terms with not liking girls and probably never finding a partner."

Warmth flushing through him, Bruno smiles and turns to embrace Fernando. He comes to him willingly. The short man looks up at Bruno, and he slowly brushes his lips on Fernando's forehead. Then pulls away and pulls up his hood, blushing again.

"We'll work on it," Fernando decides, "We have all the time we need..."

Then he walks into his house by the mill. Bruno just stands there with his hood up, fidgeting with Mirabel's embroideries on his green poncho. A rat shows up to stand patiently by his side.

Fernando comes out with a flourish, a picnic basket on his arm. He offers his hand again and this time Bruno takes it without hesitation.

Conspiracy theory that Casita is a house haunted by the spirit of their Abuelo. That's why Bruno holds his breath when coming across new cracks or reentering the walls. Because that's what you do when you pass a grave.

i accidentally made the same dinosaur train reference twice :/

oops

[etcnnante]

actually i loveeee overthinking random side characters and i think this time it should be scolippi and how much i think back on his character and how greatly he affected mista. i love their fight and how truly agonizing it is to see him go through it- how scolippi is the only enemy mista shows any kind of desperation to because of a stand he can’t defeat … he has a certain pain in his voice that we haven’t really heard elsewhere.

and i love scolippi, how his own devotion to his stand grants him his own stigmata … how, just like jesus had predicted fate 3 separate times- he predicted the deaths of bruno, abbacchio, and narancia … him being able to bring out such desperation out of mista, and him still showing compassion despite being beaten. i don’t see people often talk about him, but i do think he is an often overlooked pivotal aspect of part 5 in ways other side characters haven’t quite done.

Bruno’s job was knowing things. What would go wrong, mostly. He’d never been good at the figuring out what to do about it part. Most of the time, he handed over the prophecy, and let someone else handle the rest.

That wasn’t an option this time. Not when the future showed the miracle falling apart and his sobrina involved somehow. It didn’t matter that the future was ambiguous; people would assume the worst. He needed to protect Mirabel. From the suspicion, the fear, the blame. From becoming another unhappy herald of destruction. Somehow.

He just- he just needed a moment.

Bruno will talk to his family any moment now. He just needs to figure out how to fix everything, first.

📑 and 🎭, from the mun meme ^^

@outoftheirdifferences asked: Muse rambles!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📑 - Favorite part of your muse’s backstory?  🎭 - How similar are you and the muse?  - - - - - - - - - - - -

Oh gosh, if I had to pick it's probably the day she first met Spud. Freshly moved out on her own , trying to make her new place feel more comfortable planting flowers only to discover this tiny mushroom buried in the soil. The set of events ranging from fear, to wanting to go back to the forest, to winding up in someone's trashcan for shelter because she got lost and couldn't find her way back. It's only after Eileen rescued her from being thrown out that Spud finally started trusting her.

Very similar, she is a self-insert after all. Granted I'm still learning French, and understand/speak more ASL than anything but other things that separate me from her is the ability to make flower crowns or make herbal teas by hand. Her family history is something I don't really touch on since I've never really had the opportunity, but to be honest I try not to self project that much sadkjndsa-

Bruno's backstory is just divorced parents asking the child who he wants to live with and I do get it

Why are they playing disney music at work T-T

Die with a smile - ln4

lando gets kicked off his spotify, but he’s happy about it.

warnings - just fluff bc i was bored !!

Lando was sitting in the lounge of the MTC, mindlessly scrolling on his phone. He had an early morning meeting with Zac and Andrea, resulting in him having to leave you home asleep in your warm bed.

He had his headphones on, opting to listen to music while he waited. watching the sun start to peak over the horizon, making its way into the sky.

Suddenly his music stopped.

He furrowed his brows checking his phone, thinking he accidentally paused it. He's even more confused to see that the device connected to his spotify account had been changed.

His music was now playing through…. an alexa…

Your alexa.

the alexa back home in your shared apartment.

Suddenly it clicks in his mind.

You were playing music at home, through the alexa while you were getting ready, completely unaware that you’ve interrupted his music.

He chuckled to himself as he watched the songs play through, becoming a spectator on his own spotify that he's been momentarily kicked off while he assumes you get ready for the brunch you mentioned to him the evening prior.

He decides to wait until you’re done with the alexa to play his music again. Not wanting to disturb your morning concert. Images of you dancing around the apartment while rushing your daily routine play through his mind.

He opens a note in his phone, jotting down all the songs you play, wanting to make them into playlists to play for you, specifically in the car.

The next song you play causes him to smile down at his phone like a lovestruck idiot.

“Die with a smile - Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga”

He imagines you singing your heart out to what's been your new favorite song recently (he's heard you talk about how good it is for days now, how you're certain it's going to win song of the year at the grammys next year.) He feels (semi) bad for the sweet elderly couple who lives next door to you two. Hoping the sound of your voice at 8am wasn't the worst alarm clock in the world.

In his humble opinion, he’d choose your voice over an alarm clock any day. to him you have the voice of an angel and adored hearing you sing your heart out like you were the next best contestant on The Voice.

When the song ended he waited a minute to make sure another wasn't queued. When no song began to play, he made sure to change the output device back to his headphones, returning back to his series of songs.

opening your messages, he sends you a quick text

morning pretty girl! hope you slept well and enjoy your brunch with the girls, i’ll see you when i get home.. i love you!!

he quickly hit sent and shoves his phone into his pocket perfectly timing Zac’s entrance into the room. standing up he follows Zac into the conference room, putting his headphones back into their respective case. excited to see what songs you choose to listen to tomorrow.
