Bruno Madrigal Snippets

Introduction PLEASE READ

This is a list of how I imagine Casita and life in the Encanto to be like. I know that some of these things don't exist or were confirmed not to be the case, but these are my stories so, this is how things are to me.

For starters, all fics are written with reader being female (I'm not against gender neutral, or non binary or guys or anyone else. I just write the fics as though I am Y/n, and I'm female soo....)

Also, I don't speak Spanish. I don't use a lot of Spanish, and most of the words I do use are some of the few I know, but if any of it is incorrect, please let me know so I can correct it. Thanks!

I use --- for each new point. If there is a paragraph with out --- in the beginning, it is continuation of the previous --- point.

Now for the HC's:

---Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. I know that it's been confirmed that there is only one bathroom in Casita, but I always imagine that each person has their own bathroom somewhere in those huge bedrooms, as a sort future proofing for when there are too many people for one bathroom to be feasible.

---I also imagine (and I doubt that I am the only one) that Casita is capable of making extra rooms within the bedrooms for those who marry into the family, like a workspace within their spouses room. So Agustin probably has a music room in Julieta's bedroom or something geared towards his hobby. Felix probably has something in Pepa's room. The same will happen in any story where Y/n is married to Bruno. Her room might change based on the story (like ones where Y/n is an artist, vs Y/n being a musician or writer)

---Most of my stories will either be pre-canon with the events of the movie not likely going to happen (Mirabel gets a gift or a nicer Abuela Alma, or something else that is explained in the story) I don't like seeing Bruno being alone for 10 years like he is in the movie. THAT POOR MAN NEEDS LOVE!!!!

---For most, if not all my stories, Bruno's room has a lot less stairs than it does in the movie. This is for a few reasons.

1. I believe that Bruno's room might have been a lot different when he first got his gift. Maybe that it was just a large room with his bedroom, a bathroom and his vision cave. Then as he got older and began having trouble with his visions (giving more bad visions than good, people not like his gift, and involuntary visions) the rooms began to separate. Instead of just having his bedroom area as part of the main area (like how Antonio's room doesn't have separate areas), It became its own room (likely hidden away within the room as way to provide privacy and security), and his vision cave was moved to make it harder to reach (likely stemming from him not wanting to give visions. Like people giving up because the vision wasn't worth the effort of reaching his vision cave)

 2. I believe the amount of stairs was a result of his anxiety over giving visions, knowing the likely result. Like children trying to do everything they can to get out of doing something they don't want to do.

3. The number of stairs could also be a result of loneliness due to being ostracized by his family. Like how his room has obviously moved away from the rest of his family over the years (compare it's location in the movie to the scene of the triplets getting their gifts) I feel that Bruno having a partner, one that genuinely loves him, will help keep the stairs in check.

4. Most is not all my stories are pre-canon with Bruno and Y/n either being friends, dating, or married. The fics where Bruno is the age he is in the movie (or close to), still don't have the room being as vast because of Y/n's influence of not only Bruno's life, but the lives of the rest of the family. Or in the case of fics where Casita had to be rebuilt, I think everyone's rooms changed to reflect the changes in the family, like less pressure to be perfect, or stronger bonds, etc.

---If there are fics (not many planned though) where he does live in the walls for a while, and those will be explained either before the story begins, or during. However, in most of my stories, he lives with his family/wife for many years and either never goes into hiding, or spends a lot less time in hiding (I have one story where he is only gone for 4 or so years).

---In my fics, it's just assumed that technology is a bit more advanced than what we see. Maybe not like it is in real life (with things like smartphones and tablets), but Encanto will at least have access to some older technology like corded phones, and television, maybe even old style radios (imagine the radios that were available in the 1950s and 60s)

---I imagine that there are one or two families that act as traders with the outside world. Like these families know a way in and out of the Encanto and use this hidden entrance to get things from outside the Encanto.

 The Encanto is pretty self sufficient, however I imagine some things are hard to get there, even with the Madrigal Miracle. So in some fics I imagine things like coffee and fabric for clothes, and gems/metals for jewlery come from outside Encanto and these things are brought in once every month or two.

Also, that this/these family(ies) have an account with the post office in the next town where villagers can get mail from outside the Encanto (like letters to family living outside the Encanto or to get newspapers/magazines, etc) The account is checked every few weeks, depending on if the villagers are expecting anything.


Well, That's all for now. I might make another one of these if I have more to say, but for now See you guys later!
