[usedtobeguest123]

Hello :)

I'm usedtobeguest123 (...because I ghosted around as guest123 on A03 before creating an account for myself 😁). You can call me Tooby.

I love writing and am dabbling with art (newbie). Feel free to shoot me Encanto writing or art prompts--family fluff is my jam. I have tiny little humans I care for and sometimes go on long hiatuses, but I'm still around. Sometimes I also post for Malevolent.

A probably maybe [not] updated masterlist of my stuff below the cut. My tag system is chaotic and unorganized, but you can try searching #my art and #my writing too.

Writing

Current fic: La Traes - This is the sequel to my first fic, Bruno from Before, but you could probably read it on its own. La Traes is the spanish name for the childhood game of tag, but it literally means "You carry it." This fic follows the (fluffy) relationship between Bruno, Mirabel, and Antonio, and is an experiment where I work through how trauma can rob us of childhood, and how we might possibly heal and get a little bit of it back.

Bruno from Before - My first fic! It takes place about 7 months after the movie. An exploration of Mirabel and Bruno's relationship post movie. Mirabel begins to learn more about Bruno from before the walls and is determined to help him find his way back.

Alma, After - I love Alma's character. This is a little dabble I wrote about her grief, and it ended up being a bit of a epilogue to Bruno from Before. Chronologically, it hits somewhere in the middle of La Traes.

Quiet - A collection of Encanto one-shots. They started out having the theme of "quiet," but it's really just a place for me to put my little snippets of writing :)

A Little Wasted Time - A one-shot where Mirabel and Camilo talk it out. It's a bit of a deleted scene from Bruno from Before.

How Are You Feeling, Hermano? - A one-shot I wrote after seeing this AMAZING art by @junosaccount. Bruno is sick and Julieta is there to do what she does best.

The Time You Give Me - Bruno - A super fun collab I did with the lovely @breannasfluff 💚 The pairing is a fun look into the mind of an introvert (Bruno) and an extrovert (Mirabel) who care about each other. This is the introvert side. Make sure to read Breanna's, too!

El Milagro de la Bebé - My fic for the @encantobigbang! Dolores is worried about her Mamá, and to help her she seeks out the most okayest man for the job - Tío Bruno. Pranks and family fluff ensue. Check out @lunaencantada's AMAZING art that goes with it!

You can find more of my little tumblr only one-shots under Encantober below.

[acewithapaintbrush]

"Mama? What are you doing up so early?"

At the voice of her son, Alma whirls around and almost drops the little tumbler of green paint in her left hand. Good thing she had just lifted the brush away from her canvas or she might have done some irreparable damage. 

"Brunito! You're up early." 

"How about, never went to sleep? " Before his Mama can scold him again for his unhealthy sleeping habits, Bruno steps up next to her in front of the family tree and changes the subject. "So it's that time of the year already? The colors still look good, if you ask me." 

Alma shakes her head. "No. Not all of them." She caresses his faded depiction on the mural. Bruno follows her fingers, swallows and avoids his eyes. He doesn't want to admit it, but the fading of his counterpart on the family tree has been the most painful development during the last ten years. 

Its position in the sun always meant that his mother has to give the colors a little touch-up at least once a year. She would usually use that time to also renew it, update the appearances of her grandchildren a little. Or, like 5 years ago, add another little boy entirely. 

But over the last ten years Bruno's part had been neglected. No touch-up for the forsaken son. Every year a little bit less present. Every year a little bit less vibrant. Less important. 

Less loved? 

"It was too hard.", his mother whispers into the morning air. Everyone else is still asleep. "I would put the brush to your part of the family tree and just… freeze. Sometimes I was so angry and intentionally skipped you because I wanted to punish you for leaving. Sometimes I was so scared that I would start and mess it up because what if I had forgotten what you looked like?"

"Mama I'm sorry, I-" 

"Don't apologize." She cups his face and smiles a little when a bit of green paint smudges his cheek. Alma tries to rub it away, but only manages to make it worse. "Ay. I'm making a mess. Always making a mess, your old Mama." 

Bruno takes her hand and squeezes it. He can feel the paint in his beard. It reminds him of easier times, when his sisters and him were little and still allowed to help coloring the mural. 

"I should have done this weeks ago. I'm the one who needs to apologize." She squares her shoulders and smiles. "But I'm gonna make it up to you. I'm gonna make you the most handsome man on that tree. My beautiful, handsome bebe!" 

"Mama!" Bruno laughs. "Just a few less grey hairs will suffice."

"Any more requests?" 

"Well, if you ask me like that…" 

*****************

Camilo and Mirabel admire the repainted family tree. Finally their tio is just as colorful as the rest of the family. It's about time. 

Mirabel leans closer and straightens her glasses with a frown on her face.

"What is it?" Camilo asks. 

"This grey smudge." Mirabel mumbles and points to something small between Tio Bruno's neck and curls. "Doesn't that look like a little rat?" 

Camilo leans closer as well. Both of them stare at the rat-shaped smudge, then at each other, wondering if Abuela would really be so whimsical as to add something like that to the beloved, sacred family tree. 

"Nah!" They drawl at the same time. 

(It is, in fact, a little rat. But maybe that can stay a secret between the artist and the muse.)

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

This was inspired by @glitternightingale and @vaguewaves post about how maybe Alma is the one who painted the family tree

My contribution to milk day is: ANGST!

Below the cut is a little ficlet I wrote to go with it, that the wonderful @breannaaiedail offered to edit, and she did a wonderful job!  Thank you thank you thank you again!  And thanks for encouraging me to write something Encanto. 

I’m gonna tag some people who inspired this!  @glitternightingale (happy birthday, friend) @mmollymercury @thisstableground @cannibalthoughts

Alma’s steps are quiet and measured as she follows Bruno. It had been several hours since her botched first family meal. Perhaps one conversation hadn’t been enough to loosen her tight control over her family.  

And by that, she means she failed.  

Utterly and miserably.  

Luisa fled the room, crying, and Isabela got so frustrated she tore her napkin in two without realizing. Antonio started the meal teary-eyed, so Mirabel and Camilo did their best to distract him, loudly. Dolores hadn’t said a word, and Pepa, Julieta, and Alma plied Bruno with food until he was quite literally and abruptly ill.

He’d, unsurprisingly, fled the room after and not even Mirabel could find him for the next hour. 

If she’s honest, Alma didn't expect to see him again. If the holding pattern the two of them fell into ten long years ago was to resume.  

She’d push Bruno, as she always had, and he’d fade into the shadows.  He’d pad through the house in the silence of the early hours. Occasionally running into Julieta, but on the whole, avoiding everyone but the children.  

Of course, the thought of him vanishing so soon after his return filled her with dread, and she enlisted her present hijos, their esposos, and Mirabel to aid in her search. Mirabel told her he’d be back, likely as soon as she stopped searching. She was a voice of reason, despite it being a role too heavy for a 15-year-old.  

Mirabel was proven correct when Alma had heard her son’s near-silent footfalls slinking towards the church’s kitchen, just a few hours later. Perhaps the earlier nausea finally faded enough to let his nutrition-starved body demand food. 

Alma slipped after him, careful not to startle him. 

Julieta wasn’t idle after the search had been called off. She tied up her skirt and searched through the rubble of their home for her medical texts. Then, she spent the morning reading and sharing what she learned. 

So Alma followed her youngest, her Brunito.  And she poured him a glass of milk as he shrunk away from her, avoiding her gaze, just as Alma avoided looking at the faint scars on his too-thin wrists when he tightly clasped his left arm with his right. 

It wasn’t much.  Just a glass of milk, but her eldest assured her it was the first step to seeing her little boy healthy.  Something he hadn’t been in a very long time.

Bruno’s abdomen: my almost medical opinion

I've seen a lot of interesting posts on this topic, such as this and this and many more, so I wanted to investigate it too. And since I am pursuing a medical degree, this post will deal specifically with the possible pathological causes of the "mystery stomach"™ @glitternightingale (I hope it's okay that I tagged you)

Warnings: anatomy, biomechanics, medical terms, naked (?) Bruno from animation test, just nonsence?

So.

Bruno has a posture disorder. Literally in every scene with him, you can see how his head protrudes too much in relation to the rest of his body, and his back is "round".

The way I see it, this type of posture disorder is a kyphotic-lordotic posture (2nd type in this picture):

The curvature of the thoracic region is called kyphosis, the curvature of the lumbar region is called lordosis. In this type of posture disorder these curvatures are enlarged, so the terms "hyperkyphosis" and "hyperlordosis" are often used.

A kyphotic-lordotic posture is characterized by this:

Increase in all the curves of the spine, forward tilt of the head, neck, shoulders, protrusion of the abdomen, straightened knees, flabby abdominal muscles, and possible ptosis of internal organs due to weak abdominal press.

So, in this case, the protrusion of the abdomen is caused by displacement of internal organs under pressure from the "overhanging from above" thoracic spine and thorax in general, and from the lumbar spine in hyperlordosis (from behind). But besides this, with this type of posture disorder, not only displacement of organs is possible, but also their prolapse (splanchnoptosis in scientific terms, or just ptosis) due to the weak musculature of the front abdominal wall. And this increases the protrusion of the abdomen.

Bruno's asthenic/ectomorphic constitution, which is characterized as follows:

High height, narrow, flat chest, sloping shoulders, long neck, thin and long limbs, elongated face, poorly developed musculature, pale, thin skin, internal organs (heart, lungs, intestines, etc.) of relatively small size. People with the asthenic type are characterized by increased excitability of the nervous system, a tendency to ptosis (prolapse) of internal organs, neurosis, hypotension, tuberculosis, peptic ulcer.

may have contributed to this.

In addition to poor posture, ptosis can also be caused by lifting weights. Bruno single-handedly transported a couple of barrels and a large armchair to his room, and also ran around the house with buckets of putty, which must not have been easy either.

Thus, the causes of the protruding abdomen may be:

1. Kyphotic-lordotic posture;

2. Ptosis of internal organs;

3. Weakness of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall, which cannot restrain the pressure of the organs.

Now let's consider the question of why the belly appears and disappears.

In my opinion, it all depends on the position of the spine. Let's start by looking at what proper posture looks like.

Normally, the perpendiculars dropped from the shoulder girdle line and the lumbar line are on the same axis. In the picture I have marked it with a red line.

Now let's look at these frames.

When the shoulder girdle and lumbar spine are on the same line, there is no belly (1st picture). This happens because neither the thoracic spine (above) nor the increased curvature of the lumbar spine (behind) presses on the organs. But as soon as the thoracic spine overbalances and leans forward, the pressure on the internal organs increases and the belly appears (2nd picture).

The similar thing happens in these frames. But in this case there is overextension of the lumbar spine (hyperlordosis) in the second frame, and therefore the belly appears again.

Hyperlordosis again (this frame probably shows it most clearly).

And finally we can see it in the movie.

If the protruding abdomen was caused by excess subcutaneous fat, changing the position of the spine would only slightly reduce the belly, but wouldn't completely remove it.

As for more severe pathologies such as ascites or hepatosplenomegaly, I think this is unlikely because Bruno has no risk factors for diseases that cause them (such as cirrhosis of the liver and heart failure).

Of course, it is unlikely that the animators in creating Bruno model thought about such pathologies as splanchnoptosis and weakness of the muscles, but posture disorders are quite possible.

I don't pretend to be correct in my opinion based on my meager medical knowledge and I realize that it's probably TOO MUCH, but maybe someone was interested in reading this. Anyway, I'm sorry for this rambling and thank you if you read to the end :) Any feedback is welcome!

[biographydivider]

Ever since I saw @glitternightingale's amazing Milk Day comic (and connected it to my own fic where Bruno lightly confuses a cow and a horse), I couldn't stop thinking that he just...doesn't know animals very well. And because my headphones died on the way to work, I wrote this on my commute today.

In the world of Bruno Madrigal, there were only two types of animal: Rats, and Not-Rats.

This affliction wasn't a result of him being in the walls for years with only rodents for company; sadly, it was something he'd lived with his whole life. Once, when he was about six, he'd begged and begged his mother to let him adopt 'the puppy' that had just been born on Señor Roja's farm.

It was a goat.

"Alright, alright Tio," Camilo sighed, holding up another of Antonio's animal friends. "What's this?"

Bruno pursed his lips, deep in thought. "Baby snake."

"It's a gecko, but that was close." Camilo let the lizard go and sat back on his haunches, tapping his lip. Bruno's sobrino had become midly obsessed with his 'animal blindness' ever since he found out Bruno once tried to milk a burro. A male burro.

"Okay, okay; I got one. Name five animals that live in...water. Any type of water - sea, rivers, whatever. Go!"

"Milo...."

"Do it or I tell Mami that you stole the last of her fancy eye cream!"

"Okay, okay! Jeez." Bruno ran his hands through his hair, steadying himself with an exhale. He could do this. It was easy. Right?

"So. I-in the water. There...are...frogs. And fish. Big fish...a-and small fish...and...regular fish."

He nodded, satisfied with his answer. Camilo groaned, tugging on his hair.

"Ay, Dios mio."

"Tio Bruno?"

Luisa tapped on his door, peeking in shyly. "Tio, I don't wanna interrupt, but I thought you might wanna know, well, your present's here."

"Ooh!"

It had been the triplets' birthday the week before, and Luisa had been devastated that her present for her Tio - whatever it was - hadn't arrived on time. Bruno hugged her tight and told her it didn't matter, it'd arrive when it arrived; but he'd been waiting with baited breath for days now, all the same. Even at fifty-one, he still loved presents. Who didn't?

"Can I see?"

"Okay....so I really hoped she'd be here by last weekend," Luisa babbled, producing a small, wooden box from behind her back, "but the man in Bogotá said she needed more time to be weaned, and..."

"She?"

Bruno took the wooden box from his sobrina - noticing it was dotted with tiny holes and seemed to be squeaking - set it down on his bed, and slid open the lid. There, nestled in pile of shredded newspaper, was a tiny, caramel-coloured rat; only just old enough to be away from her mother. She blinked, looking up at Bruno with sleepy eyes, and his heart was lost.

"Ohhhhh," Bruno breathed, slowly holding out his hand for the rat to sniff. "Hiii, cariño..."

The rat stirred; blinked again, and snuffled at Bruno's fingers. Her tiny, dainty whiskers tickled his hand, and he grinned. "You're so cute, aren'tcha?"

"'s a mouse," said Camilo, leaning over his tio's shoulder to peek into the box.

"No!" Luisa protested, puffing herself up even taller than she was normally. "She's not a mouse! I made sure! The man in Bogotá promised me! He said she's a --"

"She's a Satin Coat," Bruno murmured, almost to himself, gently stroking along the rat's back with one finger. "See how straight her whiskers are, with the lil' curls at the end? That's how you can tell. And that she's so shiny. You're so shiny, aren'tcha cariño? I think she's a...she's not a Topaz coat, I think she's Fawn. Is that right, Luisa?"

Luisa and Camilo gaped at their tio. "I..." Luisa stammered. "I-I think so. I've got her paperwork in my room?"

"Oh, I'd like to see it, very much." Bruno scooped up the baby rat and placed her in his flattened hand, never taking his eyes away from her. "Thank you, mi vida. She's perfect, I love her already. O-oh, I have a spare nest over here somewhere, she can stay there 'til she gets used to things...you've got lotsa brothers and sisters, mija, but we'll introduce you later, yes we will..."

"I knew you'd like her," Luisa beamed. "We'll leave you to get her settled in."

"She's the best present ever! Thank you, again!"

"Guy can't remember snakes don't have legs but he knows about Rat Colours an' crap?!" Camilo protested, as his prima ushered him out of the room, closing the door on the happy sounds of squeaking.

(And by the way, her name is Sweetie)

HAPPY MILK DAY‼️‼️🎊🎊🥳🥳🥳

For those who are confused: milk is now a meme in the Encanto fandom, somehow - and people came up with the idea for today to be an official milk day!

I've got more crack content coming👀👀 and a certain something for a birthday girl 👀👀👀👀 @glitternightingale,,, but first! Here's some wholesome fluff! 💕💕

~

Summary: Pepa and Julieta bond over the comfort that is breastfeeding.

~~

It was a coincidence that their first pregnancies were so close, with Isabela being slightly older than Dolores; although it was difficult to adjust to the noise of a baby's cry, doubled, it did end up coming in handy: the girls could calm each other down, play with each other and give their working parents a well deserved break, without even realising it.

Julieta's second pregnancy was the first she pioneered without a twin situation by her side-but like everything her sister did, she did it perfectly... All until she started having complications. Luisa was a hefty baby, Pepa never thought she'd ever see a baby bump that big. When her niece was born, she was all tub and endearing wrinkles, she was beautiful. But Julieta had been exhausted; weak and frail, so unlike her usually. Her lower half stained with blood; it was a day full of complicated feelings.

But! Now they were back in action, the Madrigal sisters, cooking up buns in synchronisation again! This time, Pepa's would be slightly older, which made for some good childish banter. Mamá still insisted they work, always had while they were pregnant - but maybe the lingering thought of Julieta's previous due date changed her... Because she was assigning them significantly less labour than before. This gave them plenty of free time, most of which was with their husbands and brother; Félix and Agustín weren't magical descendants, them being out and about didn't really help any, especially Agustín - who caused more trouble than he was worth.

Bruno was naturally a shut in, with good reason. Pepa and Julieta accepted this, knowing how he felt without him having to describe it; they were triplets. They were so happy to be spending more time with their baby brother.

Another source of happiness, was daydreaming about their babies. Bruno had already managed to predict that Pepa would be having a boy. The first boy since himself! This was a momentous occasion! He'd be treated like the little prince he was, Pepa was so thrilled! Her elder sister was still waiting in anticipation. They sometimes talked about the prospect of having two boys and how amazing that'd be! But Juli was adamant she was having another girl.

"I can just tell, my little Mariposa." She’d say, patting her round belly.

One afternoon, their conversations lead to the sweetest of topics:

"I missed feeding Luisa so much when she stopped." Juli reminisced, rocking gently in her chair, "The bonding felt more intense than with Isa, such a comforting feeling, I especially needed it back then."

Pepa nodded enthusiastically.

"Yes! Me too with Dolores! I can't wait to have that feeling again."

A rainbow materialised above their heads.

A few months later, Camilo Madrigal was born. Indeed, the first Madrigal boy since Bruno, Alma was especially proud, kissing her grandson and her daughter on their flushed cheeks. Because Julieta was out of commission, being heavily pregnant herself, the clean-up effort was done by the men (well, that isn’t to say they didn’t help before- but Julieta was definitely the ringleader of the operation). Félix held his son, rocking him expertly to sleep whilst simultaneously, passionately kissing his wife, Agustín changed his sister in law's sheets, and Bruno cleaned her face with a damp rag.

The sun had shone brighter that day.

Mirabel Madrigal soon followed, a miracle baby. She was so easy to birth and cried softly, almost as if she knew about her cousin's hearing and wanted to be courteous. A selfless little girl, right from the start.

Months past since that day and today, a gorgeously sunny sky was painted above, for all to see and Bruno Madrigal was left to babysit his older nieces. They played with their new siblings and saw them plenty- but there were also times they were meant to leave them alone. They had been asking for them all morning; Bruno hadn’t seen his sister’s or their babies at all today, nor did he hear them. What if they were all sleeping and he disturbed them? Dolores confirmed that they were napping for a brief period.

He left it for about half an hour before knocking on the nursery door, carefully. A voice from within prompted him to open it. He peaked his head inside, keeping the rambunctious children behind his thin legs, just in case.

“The girls want to see the bebés.” Bruno took in the scene: Mira and Cami were missing from their twin cribs, across from Luisa's bed. They were instead, in their mother’s arms, both of which, were sat in two respective chairs, looking fresh faced and well rested. He noticed how his niblings were eating, cautiously, he pushed the door back towards him, unsure if his sisters would allow them in right now. “Is this a good time?”

However, Pepa and Julieta smiled.

“Sure, come on in, Brunito, niñas.”

 

At those words, Isa finally broke through the barrier that was her uncle and threw open the door; thankfully, Bruno caught it before it could slam against the wall- Isabela, Dolores and Luisa walked in, well, Dolores walked, her cousins practically sprinted.

To make sure the girls wouldn’t try anything, Bruno pulled Isa and Luisa into his lap after sitting on the latter’s bed. Dolores sat beside him, unprompted and polite. He could trust her to behave.

“What are you doing?” Isabela bluntly asked, a twinge of annoyance in her voice; she expected Mirabel to be more... alive. Not stuck to their mother, eyes closed and lips pursed.

“They’re feeding your brother and your sister.” Bruno explained.

Luisa craned her neck this way and that, “I don’t see a bottle.”

“No, Luisa, it comes from our bodies.” Pepa snorted.

“Blood?!” Isabela chimed in, smile big and fists clenched, Bruno bounced her on his knee. Luisa groaned in disgust and pulled on his ruana.

“Tío Brunito, tell her to stop!”

Bruno died a little inside- his sisters laughed at his expense. No amount of eye rolls could convey his disappointment.

“Didn’t we tell you to stop calling your tío that?” Julieta giggled.

“But you guys call him it.” Luisa frowned.

“It’s different.” Pepa smiled, shaking her head amusedly.

“It’s not blood, Isa, it’s milk.” Bruno booped her nose, trying to move on from what just happened as quickly as possible.

“Huh? Milk?”

“Hmm mm.”

“I thought everyone knew that.” Dolores mumbled, incredulous.

“That’s so cool.” Isa said, a breeze of flowers passed through her hair, confirming her statement, “Does it come in your favourite flavour?”

Bruno chuckled, as did his sisters. Dolores looked expressionless to the untrained eye- but the triplets could tell she was bursting to scold her cousin for her naïveté.

“No, amor, just ordinary milk.” Pepa said.

“When do they eat normal?” Luisa babbled, trying to climb up her mother’s arm.

“Soon but not yet, just liquids for now.” Julieta beamed. Bringing down a hand to stroke her toddler’s cheek.

“Why?” She nuzzled into her calloused palm. The adults breathed a huff of mirth at the common question.

“Their teeth haven’t come out yet.” Dolores hushed, finally having enough, it seemed. “The sound of them is horrible!” the little girl covered her ears, as if saying it would bring about the sound.

“Aww...” Bruno stroked her hair; she hugged his side, pushing her face into the green wool of his clothes.

 

“So, are you sure they don’t come in different flavours?” Isabela sounded sceptical. “Because they’re still drinking and I don’t think plain milk is that good.” Sassily flipping her hair, she stood, attempting to draw her sister’s attention away from this apparently, irresistible, completely ordinary milk.

“Mira! Hurry up, I want to play with you!”

 

Laughter filled Casita.

Thanks for the tag @waitingonavision! It's the occasion to highlight what I'm currently writing!

RULES: Write the latest line from your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog.

So...I'm writing 3 things to finish for October, and 2 unurgents projects.

I'll be starting with my Bruno analysis for October 17th, then the 3rd Chapter of The Marvelous Mayhem of the Madrigals Minds, then one fic for Halloween, then the other projects:

1/ Mirabel is in danger he doesn’t hesitate to hurry save her from his mother.

2/ We lost you once, we never want to lose you ever again.” added Julieta, watching him with soft eyes.

3/ space. Pointing to it, Oscar rudely asked Bruno "This is where you produce your visions?"

4/ He raised an eyebrow. "Why were they after you?" 5/ "Abuela..." spoke Dolores with eyes full of despair.

Tagging (as many words in the lines??? OMG...I'll just tag as much as possible):

Sooo - I was wondering the other day: how is Bruno‘s hair still so comparatively short after 10 years behind the walls? Either he cut it himself or...he got “help” - this was probably the first (and last time) ever Bruno let the rats cut his hair LOL-

This is how it probably went:

Bruno: “Hey, little guys - do you think you could possibly help me with my hair?”

Rat 1: “Squeak?”

Bruno: “My hair - you know” *takes a pair of scissors and a strand of hair and cuts it*

Rat 1: “Squeak!” (to Bruno) *turns around to the other rats*: “Squeak-squeak!” [Translation: “Bruno needs help with preening his fur!”]

The other rats: “Squeak!” [Translation: “Alright, let’s do this!”]

Timeskip - about half an hour later...

Bruno: “Uh, guys? You know, the hair is supposed to be the same length on both sides?”

Rats 1, 2 & 3, who have been trying to cut Bruno’s hair for the last 30 minutes: “Squeak?”

Bruno [out loud]: “You know what? I think next time, I’ll just cut it myself - don’t want to trouble you again...”

Bruno [under his breath]: “Miércoles!”

Mirabel adding something to her dress/skirt (as requested anonymously - I hope this is how you imagined the drawing :)

I personally think that sewing is not only a nice hobby for Mirabel: Each family member’s gift is symbolized by their clothes - so it only seems natural that Mirabel would like to add some “meaning” to her clothes, too - in order to feel more like a part of the family...

My contribution to the Encanto DTIYS-challenge by the amazing @glitternightingale! Here’s the awesome original drawing: https://glitternightingale.tumblr.com/post/691303126623485952/glitters-dtiys-2022

I drew all of the characters separately bc I wasn’t sure how each one would turn out (I’ve never drawn any of them before, except for Bruno). Afterwards, I cut the drawings out and put them together like a collage and then I played around a bit with Photoshop and added a filter to make it look like an old photograph (I totally imagine them like this at the photographer’s ;) Hope you like it! :)

“Bruno grabbed a cup of coffee, pulled a rat out of it, and drank from it” (from the Encanto Deluxe Junior Novel). Ever since I read this, I’ve wanted to draw it - and since today’s Encantober prompt is “rats”, have this little video :)

Here is an Encanto colored sketch. The coloring is of my doing, but this amazing sketch is made by one @glitternightingale

While I was coloring, I nearly forgot to add darker colors under Bruno’s eyes for the shadows/bags. They’re not as prominent because I’m taking a guess that he’s at most forty in this. Which is the same reason I didn’t add silver strands.

I believe, hands down, that Bruno adored his oldest nieces for...well, obvious reasons. I still think he has a special bond with Mirabel, but Isabela and Dolores have a special space in his heart.
