#in conclusion Camilo is a total mama's boy
Text
Concept:
Camilo is a prankster, right? He loves pulling tricks on his family and everyone in town. He's even tried to prank the Casita once or twice (never really works though). Camilo will prank anyone and everyone...except his mother.
It's no secret that Pepa has some pretty severe anxiety which is exceedingly concerning for someone who's gift is emotion based. Everyone tries to keep things as stress-free as possible around her, not really out of concern for Pepa herself but mostly because they don't want her powers to blow up. Camilo is one of the few that genuinely cares about her emotional state beyond how it affects her powers (not to say her family doesn't care about her).
He is notably softer with his mami than any other member of his family, even Mirabel. He refuses to do anything to raise her stress levels and that includes pranks. Instead he redirects his comedic energy towards trying to make her laugh whenever she's upset (which is often) and sometimes even teams up with his dad to put on overly dramatic performances that have the whole family laughing by the end. The point is, Camilo loves his mother.
All that said, he did play a prank on her once when he was like seven. He accidently made her cry and felt horrible for days afterwards.
