Bruno Madrigal is an aroace rat king change my mind

#you cant #bruno madrigal #encanto #we should talk about bruno #aroace #man did nothing but live in the walls with his rats for ten years #if that isn't life goals i don't know what is #la familia madrigal

[kindness-ricochets]

Bruno assumed that Mirabel and Isabela hugging was great in his vision, and that's so gorgeously echoed when Julieta and Pepa finally see Bruno again.

the way everyone suddenly turned on lin manuel miranda on this website is so baffling to me lol

#win rambles #like you can feel however you want personally about his music but you cannot say that most of it is not objectively well written? #there's a reason why we don't talk about bruno topped the charts and was everywhere #sometimes... things that are popular.... are good #and like regardless of whatever you feel about a PERSON i don't understand this 'actually they're talentless' mindset #like i promise you you can just not like something. and just like. leave it at that #people do this to taylor swift too and act like her music is objectively bad which is just like. not true #but tumblr has always hated taylor swift overall i don't understand why we all just suddenly decided that lin manuel miranda is the worst #i literally just saw a post saying that anyone saying his music was good should go to hell and i am not exaggerating #like. can y'all be normal about things for 2 seconds??

the parallels between bruno and isabela

(an analysis absolutely no one asked for)

in one of the official encanto books it was said that bruno had been the golden child of his generation before becoming the exiled outcast. i like to think about how sad this is especially when you consider the parallels with isabela, the current golden child of the family. and i think it makes a lot of sense as bruno is the spitting image of pedro, much like isabela is the spitting image of a young alma, therefore i think alma saw pedro in bruno the same way she sees herself in isabela.

and this was very much a double edged sword, as while it meant he was the golden child and the favorite, it also meant that alma was very hard on him, especially when he showed to be not like pedro. i think everyone kind of resented bruno for this reason because he was alma’s perfect golden child and everything he said came true. so he grew used to being blamed for everything because he took his golden child status in stride, and i think he and pepa had a similar dynamic to isa and mirabel.

when he had his last vision, he felt like a failure, because he was so used to being blamed for everything that he truly believed that if he had a vision of the miracle dying, it was his fault. he knew how hard alma was on him, and so he couldn’t face her after he had that vision. so he decided to just disappear. when he exiled himself into the walls it was like he was finally shedding his golden child status, as there was no one around to tell him who to be or what to do, just him and his rats.

bruno leaving truly broke alma. not only because it felt like a betrayal of his golden child status, but also because she had projected pedro’s personality on him so much that by losing bruno, it felt as if she’d lost pedro all over again. and in a way, she had, as bruno’s disappearance was confirmation that bruno was his own person and not just a replacement for pedro, and she didn’t like that.

the same thing happened with isabela. she was the favorite, the perfect golden child. the more she grew to look almost exactly like young alma, the more alma projected herself onto her. and just as with bruno, this proved to be a double edged sword. as while isabela was the golden child and favorite, it also meant that alma was hard on her. alma tried to shape isabela into a perfect version of herself, everything she wanted to be when she was younger, but she also projected her own insecurities onto her and was as hard on isabela as she was on herself, especially when she showed to be like the parts of alma she didn’t like about herself.

when isabela broke free from alma’s perfect projection and started actually being herself, it hurt alma because it once again reminded her of the things she didn’t like about herself, and by isabela not being the perfect golden child, not only was it conformation that isabela was her own person and not just an extension of alma, but it was also a reminder to alma that she herself wasn’t perfect. in losing bruno, she lost pedro, and in isabela’s failure to be perfect, she saw a failure of her own.

isabela’s line in wdtab says a lot about this. firstly, she’s the only one to get a positive vision, which shows not only how kind and caring bruno is to go out of his way to tell only the good things to his niece, but i think also shows how he relates to her and sees himself in her. he was the golden child, he knows what it’s like to be put on a pedestal and the pressures and expectations that come with it, and he sees the way alma puts isa on a pedestal and projects onto her just like she did with him, so he makes sure to only tell her the good things to ease the pressure, because he doesn’t want isa to end up the way he did.

i also think the wording is important: “he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine.” he doesn’t just promise her a perfect life, but specifically the life of her dreams. which is kind of sad and ironic at this point in the movie, because to everyone else, it seems as if the prophecy has come true. her life seems perfect. however, it isn’t the life of her dreams. as perfect as her life may seem, it’s not what she wants at all, so the prophecy has not come true yet. when isa breaks free from alma’s mold, her life no longer seems perfect, but she’s finally living the life of her dreams, doing what she wants. the prophecy has finally come true.

i like to think that bruno would be so proud to come back to the family and see how isa has broken from alma’s projection and is finally doing what she wants, and learned to be herself, and happy to see that his prophecy came true and she didn’t end up like him.

#encanto #encanto analysis #bruno madrigal #isabela madrigal #alma madrigal #i really hope we get more interactions between bruno and isa in an eventual sequel/series #bc they barely interact in the movie #but the parallels between them are really interesting and it would be a really cool dynamic to explore #they seem so different but are actually quite similar if you think about it and i’d love to see them bond #and see how alma learns to cope with both of them being themselves rather than her projections of them #now that she’s grown and learned as a person in the end of the movie #i just think we should talk about the parallels between isa and bruno more #and that it’s one of the things i most want to see in the series and could be really interesting #also someone has probably said this before but i wanted to share my thoughts #so don’t yell at me if this isn’t original i just love analyzing this shit and haven’t seen many ppl talking about it #anyway no wonder they’re my 2 favorite characters lmao #i was also the golden child and then kinda became a disappointment so it makes Sense

Disney needs to bring back the era of Disney Princess Sing-Along DVDs. I miss the good old days when I would belt out the songs in my shrill 7-year-old girl voice.

#disney #disney princess #disney princess sing-along #i wanna sing the songs in my shrill 23-year-old woman voice #and play the cheaply animated minigames #they should add songs like i see the light let it go and we don't talk about bruno #if not dvds they should make them features on disney plus #d23 expo #pls disney

Would you like to know who just wrote more than 4,000 words of grammar and fish jokes for Encanto Sushi Day? Me. It was me.

Summary:

As with many unfortunate incidents in Bruno's life, this one started with a dead fish.

Or, rather, dead fish. Plural.

This is an important distinction to note, because it will come up repeatedly and without warning, rather like the smell of dead fish themselves.

#encanto sushi day #encantosushiday #encanto #fanfic #my own writing #in this casita we do talk about bruno #fish #grammar #dr. seuss #I feel like those three tags capture the spirit of this piece in its entirety #unhinged unapologetic and unstoppable #I feel like this piece is a great litmus test to see how tolerable my sense of humor is #anyway I ate sushi last night before I posted this so you can say I'm somewhat dedicated to my craft #psst can somebody tell me if there's a theme day collection I should add this to?

[katyspersonal]

Gherman and Eileen (and if neither are available/you want, Micolash <3) for the character bingo :)

Hahaha, no man, never give me a right to choose! Because I will always chose all. Because I always have something to say. And if I don't, I obtain an opinion as I go because I am unhinged dfsdgh

Gehrman

If this isn't my favourite character to discuss... :smh:

I only mention how terribly he was treated in every second post about him, the dude can shake hands with Chara Undertale on having the character ruined by fandom for fandom for years. xD I started swinging between 'You can have an unflattering interpretation of the character, just quit mocking and accusing people who disagree' and 'Actually no, forget it. It is not even an "interpretation", it is outright lore-inaccurate and tone-deaf and wrong. Why I should be 'okay' with you ruining a cool character? Sure, shoving away the actual character and replacing them with what you want to see is not BAD, but it is not GOOD either. How would you feel if I completely overlooked lore and portrayal of male characters you love, for example Djura, and replaced them with a punching bag for all my grudges with the sexism this wretched world commits? Would you people be cool with that?'.

I am under obligation of being 'understanding' because, honestly, the real villain here is localisation team that turned the whole angle of perceiving the guy over - that made it easier to ignore/misinterpret the shit load of other evidence for his case. Can't easily recall victorian mourning dolls, or that when Doll held an ornament full of his feelings - she cried in joy and compassion, not staggered in disgust, after the gross comment they put in his mouth, huh? Hire fans 👏

Nonetheless, the character is pretty interesting for many reasons, and it did feel a bit odd for me that he says like... one thing and then disappears for interaction. I don't even know where does he keep disappearing as a person stuck on wheelchair? *squints at Flora very loudly* I cannot pick him as THE best character because he at the very least shares the place with Maria, Micolash and Djura - and that's just my opinion! But he certainly just has so much going on about him, having had guts to commit to a horrible fate for the sake of humanity and out of his faith in Healing Church, all that. There are just so many things about him? Training the hunters and starting a workshop, combining ruthless traits and tragedy and tender love too. (Also aesthetic alone is immaculate).

Eileen

Annnnnd it is a bit funny that after the most controversial character, you listed the least controversial one... xd There are just no ways to mess Eileen up, really. No bad fandom trends, no questionable ships, no off the mark opinions, like... you have to be diabolically inventive to mess up EILEEN of all characters? She is a bit of a fresh air as a character who is basically perfect and there aren't things to disagree on :')

And I honestly think she is one of the most needed characters for the overall setting, and the coolest way to execute a concept - because someone SHOULD be out there mercy-killing blood-drunk hunters! Besides beak mask seems to be her original one, so perhaps she was a plague doctor before, and thus no stranger to mercy-killing before Yharnam? She is just so grim, yet so sympathetic. Drama potential with Crow of Cainhurst? Awesome. But, I am yet to find a very cool justification as to why she only goes blood-drunk in the scenario where we never interact with her? Like... what butterfly effect did we cause? I feel like there is a fantastic explanation for what could have gone depending on us, that is right here but I am not seeing it @_@

There is no unpopular opinion field though, however I think that the fact that Hunter of Hunters seems to be a "hostile" concept to the League is underexplored? Oath runes logic (like Beast's Embrace vs Kin and Corruption vs Radiance), also Valtr himself seems blood drunk? And she sounds as if she's been waiting for an excuse to kill Henryk? However both her and League pursue 'gone wrong' hunters, so maybe they have rivarly over who kills them? Do they fight over whether to bury them with an honour or rip their guts in search of some bug she can't even see? I need something aaaaaa

Micolash

This IS my favorite character yooooo

I can go on about him forever, and in fact I kinda sorta did in lore and headcanons posts now? I would not say he got done 'dirty' by the fandom, more like... could have been better? Not to downvote anyone's uploads, but finding more or less model accurate fanart of the guy can be more challenging than it should be? I often see him all prettied-up, with slick straight hair (and sometimes that one anime 'ahoge' strand), with wider/stronger chin instead of his sharp weak one, smug face that is anything but his tired/eerie look, sometimes hair is brown...

It is not 'done dirty' but rather, 'if your Micolash looks at least somewhat creepy/uncomfy/unattractive, you are doing it right'. Similar with personality and portrayal, maybe it is my not-enough-fanfics-read sorry ass speaking but I feel like the fact that dude is mentally unstable, crazy, ran a literal madcult responsible for kidnapping and mutilating/reviving corpses and is stuck in the nightmare of his own desire is... overlooked? He is often portrayed as just a quirky funny guy obsessed with books that is not dangerous at all, even though he is easily THE most evil character? Right, making character worse makes my blood boil *looks in Gehrman's general direction*, but making character better...? It just makes me... confused? I am not angry, I just don't know why? Again, if your portrayal of Micolash is at least somewhat repulsive - you are doing it right x)

Well as you can tell already I have my issues with the character, but I also love him for the reasons hard to explain? It is complexity, depth, the context of the character (terminal stage of falling for the hubris, but researcher rather than cruel hunter), voice acting in either language, eccentric behaviour, him being fucking funny but you shiver if you actually THINK about him, him being such a nerd that he's the only NPC without a real weapon (only magic spells), he is just so PERFECT - both for the setting and as a tragic figure that fell from the grace as a scholar and KEEPS falling. From moral standpoint I am supposed to hate him, but he broke the limits of humanity and morality so far away that my typical measures no longer apply?

(And yes, I am adopting him because the guy clearly needs a mom figure :pensive: Everyone wants him to be Bad and Quirky on them, but who will give him a motherly hug and tell him he can rest from despair for now? /lh )

#ask replies #at this rate i should just place the 'we don't talk about bruno' post in my pinned but replace bruno with gehrman ahahaha #because when i hear his name i ALSO hear kill bill siren and can't be stopped until i rant fdshhsfdsd #bloodborne #fandomry rambles #gehrman the first hunter #eileen the crow #micolash host of the nightmare #by the way I am NOT tryna play 4D chess motivating people to create more messy mico for my amusement! #just tryna be more lore accurate guys dont mind me just tryna be accurate he is a cruel cruel man! #(ok here i dropped a reverse psychology hook hope it works) #(shit am i still clowning in the tags? hope i won't forget to erase this) #i think i've felt every emotion that exists and five completely new ones for humanity for micolash so far #(no context) #i think everything you really need to know about me as a writer is- #-the fact that 'basically perfect' characters are the ones i think about the least. #I need EVIL!

Brunos Tower rivals the Shanghai Tower in height

I was just rewatching Encanto, as one does and got hung up on the scene where miracle is in Brunos tower and breaks of a boulder that then falls all the way down and it got me thinking.

The boulder fell for about 7.5 seconds. Assuming normal earth gravity that boulder would fall and in doing so accelerate downwards at 9.81 m/s^2

If we put the numbers together we get the height from which the boulder fell which is 551 meters, which would be a 128 Story Building (average story height of 4.3 meters, source: google) the same number of stories as the Shanghai Tower (though that is slightly taller at 636 meters). 

No wonder Miracle is absolutely finished by the end

For some reason my brain is making connections between Zagreus!Doctor and the spooky (inaccurate) depictions of Bruno from Encanto.

🎶He sees your dreams and feasts on your screams🎶
