1. What are Mirabel’s powers? 2. Do Augustine & Felix have powers & if they don’t what explains Augustine’s deformities? 3. Is Mirabel the next Disney Princess?

[@hammyfan6060]

1. Mirabel doesn’t have powers. 2. Lol Augustine’s “deformities” are just allergic reactions. 3. No she is not, because mirabel is not a princess nor did she marry into a royal family in the movie like past movies.

Who is that fish lady and why does she prominently appear dancing at the end of We Don't Talk about Bruno?

[@trinaq]

I love how during "We don't Talk about Bruno", Dolores is the only character to discuss Bruno in the present tense, which is a clue that he's still around.

[@chasehedges6775]

Same. She’s also the only one to show him sympathy. Along with Isabella.

[@Im_alivexx]

I always wanted to know why she makes that cute squeaking sound though lol

[@stardrive9171]

Also my take on why she didn't spill about Bruno (but spilled the other secrets so easily) is that due to just the mere NAME of Bruno around her mother caused her mood to go so south she probably learned to keep quit to avoid causing her mother more stress. And given the pressure Abuela put on the family to use their gifts to help the community, this was Dolores's version of cracking under the pressure put on her by Abuela like how Isabela had to be perfect and Luisa had to be strong. So she had to tell the truth about the vision since it impacted their image towards the community, aka Abuela always going on and on about them being strong and everything being fine

[@PrismOpal64]

I mean... Camilo also sings about him in present tense. "7 foot frame, rats along his back When he calls your name, it all fades to black Yeah he sees your dreams, and feasts on your screams"

[@aidendad1259]

He is also in the background vibing

[@SCordova19]

Bruno’s vision about Mirabel was spot on too. The house did crumble not because of Mirabel but she is the one who sees it first. It also is rebuilt, intact, and strong because of Mirabel.

[@kizuna2225]

Bruno was definitelly unrightfully judged by everyone because when you see something that will happen you dont make it happen, it was already gonna happen he just saw it before it happened, that goldfish was gonna die with or without bruno, with bruno you just had someone to blame it on instead of poor caregiving cause look at that fish bowl.

[@devinspencer1678]

That's one detail I loved. Everything Bruno saw in that vision came true, even if it all seemed contradictory.

I'm glad my theory about Camilo's description of Bruno was correct. It seemed obvious to me that Camilo was just embellishing rumors to amuse himself and creep out Mirabel. It surprised me that people online didn't seem to realize that.

[@cadenceblevin6727]

Same here. I just assumed it was common knowledge. No judgement to the people who didn’t realize though!

[@nenaorta4581]

True, I think that he embellished Bruno's hight because he was five when bruno left and to a kid, everyone is a giant.

[@EinsamPibroch278]

I feel so very sorry for Bruno, ~50 years old and unmarried, alone in the walls. Unloved... 😢 How he bonded so warmly with Mirabel, I can only imagine what kind of Father he would have been had he any children of his own.

[@callmeharper19]

unloved in the movie...we all know he has simps irl

[@Furienna]

Actually, I believe that his family loved him more than he thought they did. But he must have been really lonely and unhappy during those years, when he thought that he had to hide from the world.

[@crazypurple9550]

His family may have been mad at him, but I doubt they stopped loving him. He has depression, which is made apparent by his choice to isolate because he felt like he was the cause of his family's problems. I would almost argue he was the first to feel the pressure of his gift considering Abuela asked him for a vision the night Mirabel didn't get her power, but because he chose to go into hiding instead of trying to maintain the family tradition and image he was able to hide it better. When Mirabel first saw the cracks at the party Bruno clearly had been patching up cracks longer than that considering he already had the mortar and patched them up so quickly.

[@Furienna]

I'm writing a story right now about an alternative universe, where Bruno is married and has two kids and definitively isn't unloved even if people in the village still slander him. But having two kids of his own in my story means that Bruno never bonds with Mirabel that strongly even though he still does what he can to protect her and help her. They are still family and still care about each other in a more normal uncle/niece kind of way, but it's not in the same way as it is in the movie. But instead, Mirabel is very close to Bruno's daughter and considers her her best friend. Also, I really don't think that Bruno would have gone into hiding for ten years if he'd had a loving wife to talk to and two kids to take care of. So he didn't do that in my story, but he didn't tell anybody but his wife what he saw in his vision about Mirabel even though his mother was furious when he didn't tell her. ETA: And I just realized one more thing. Antonio is very quick to bond with Bruno as well in the movie, but he bonds with Bruno's son instead in my story.

[@Furienna]

@@callmeharper19 I'm such a Bruno simp that it can scarcely be believed! 😆

[@Striker_746]

I think Casita is the reincarnation of Abuelo. Casita cares about the family and reacts like the rest of the family. Nobody talks about Bruno, so Casita avoids going into his room. Casita also shelters and protects the family, which is what Abuelo would've done if he was alive.

Dolores for YEARS kept the secret that Bruno didn’t actually leave, but couldn’t keep Maribels secret until after the dinner?

[@k-boi420]

She had too many secrets to keep.

[@firesire7989]

I guess she was worried about the magic and Bruno's prophecy so she had to tell someone.

[@emilemarin5966]

i think she wanted to ruin the dinner cause yk love of her life getting married to her cousin

[@seol7035]

She kept that secret because she wasn't allowed to talk about bruno, but the prophecy was literally going to affect the entire encanto's fate and she was overwhelmed by the fear that she might not be able to keep the secret (which made it worse)

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Everyone said Abuela is the villain of this movie since she resents Mirabel very much but I think Dolores is the main villain of this movie. In the beginning, she told the kids that Mirabel doesn't have a gift and made Mirabel sad and lost her self confidence. Then, she's probably trolling Isabella that Mariano wants 5 kids and made Isabella shocked. Then, she heard the conversation between Mirabel and her dad and decided to spread the gossip to her family and ruined Isabella's engagement and gets Mariano in the end.

[@user-hd7gd1le6d]

I've still got 2 questions: 1) Is Mirabel a unique case or will another Madrigal child be left without a gift? 2) Does Mirabel still sleep in the nursery?

[@The_Lord_of_Cryptids]

For the first, I would say that it mainly depends on whether the 'Mirabel is the next Candle Holder' theory is true which would Imply that the Candle Holder after her also won't have a gift. For the second, I belive in the novelization of the movie it says that during construction they made Mirabel a room, although it isn't magical

[@otakusophia5448]

10:00 Oh My God, I've never noticed that! Right after receiving a gift, they thought of how his powers are gonna be used. Then if the events of the Encanto didn't happen, Luisa's "donkey duties" would fall to Antonio and having her "services" be taken away from her, she would feel even worse cause "she can't be of service".

[@Apollosdreamsxx]

I think I know what Bruno’s vision meant , here’s what I think: it wasn’t undecided , it was just difficult to understand. Mirabel breaks the house and then puts it back together and restores all the magic.

[@Shu-ig5iz]

This makes so much sense. How is this so underrated?

[@FutureBereaAlumn]

“We see many of the rooms” we’ve seen Bruno’s room, the nursery, Isabela’s room, and Antonio’s room. That’s far less than even half of the rooms.

[@Furienna]

Pepa's room is seen too in the scene, where Camilo is trying to calm her down with a cup of tea and is struck by a lightning when Mirabel punches the wall from the other side.

[@1bendykat]

IMO, The brilliance of “we don’t talk about Bruno” is that Camillo, who barely, if at all, remembers Bruno, Bruno has become this mythical creature. Delores, who still hears Bruno, has more realistic lyrics about him.

[@Brebellez]

My theory is that Camillo saw him late one night sneaking food as a little kid and that influenced his description of Bruno

[@rustlepalace-inn7229]

Totally agree!!!

[@1bendykat]

[@ginger-ale7818]

My head cannon for finding the Encanto is that it’s the kind of place that you could stumble into accidentally, but never find on purpose.

[@imshinycaptain]

I think it's pretty clear that Bruno's visions are up for interpretation, since he doesn't know what to make of the one he had with Mirabel that finally broke things -- and of course it's not the whole story, as Bush said in his reply. I love that they said if the Madrigals adopted a child they would get a Gift. Adoption counts.

[@lynn-re7zi]

also interesting how many stairs are in bruno's room- personally i'd like to think that as time went on bruno wanted to receive visions less and less, and he subconsciously created more and more stairs to avoid receiving a vision that would upset the people around him.

[@lab_is_not_listening]

I assumed that because Augustine is "accident prone but he means well" he often visited Julietta for food to heal any injuries that where a result of his clumsy nature. I think that his frequent accidents ment they developed a close relationship and eventually they fell in love.

[@Kisses0205]

at the end, when the magic goes through the house and all is restored. if you pay attention not only does it cover the house but it covers the townspeople's homes as well. so it could be a hint that everyone that lives with the Encanto can help and release the burden from just the family. plus they helped build casita as well you know. I felt that Mirabel had many gifts, singing, the gift of comfort and nurturing, bravery, persistence, courage, and sewing and crafts kind of like regular human gifts, and some people have to work hard to achieve. not to mention the fact that she was the only one who could actively see the house cracking and the gift of recognizing her intuition, and she physically saw brunos vision vs everyone else hearing about his vision.

[@InevitableUniverse]

One of my very favorite parts of the movie is when Pepa says "I doing my best!!" And Felix says "Yes! 😤"

[@chevgage6210]

I interpreted the gifts as being their strength to compliment their weakness. Dolores has hearing because she's unabled to speak up. Her strength is hearing, not being heard. Luisa's strength is physical, but she's emotionally insecure. Antonio is great with animals but struggles to connect with people. So forth, so forth. Mirabel didn't get a gift because her power is love and empathy, and that's the source of the magic. She has a bit of low self esteem but she doesn't actually have a major weakness for the magic to address. Mirabel doesn't get a power the same reason Alma doesn't, she is the power, she inherits the source of it, as the power comes from intense love and the ability to bring people together. Everyone else has a weakness, so the miracle gives them a strength to compliment it.

The one about Dolores' prophecy reminds me of a quote from Yoda: "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future." You may see the future, but you can't guarantee it's the destiny you'll end up with. It's neither the end of the world if a tragedy is to happen, nor is it the dream you want to achieve. Nothing is for certain, so we should hope for the best that things will get better in the end

With Antonio getting a gift relative to his interests, it makes me wonder if all the kids got gifts relative to their interests before. Like julietta just was already really into cooking, or Camilo was already doing impressions. And Delores was eavesdropping on conversations.

[@crazypurple9550]

I find it interesting that the house didn't start cracking until the characters did from all the pressure. I would speculate that all the pressure the kids were feeling was also being placed on the house, which could also make more sense of Mirabel opening the door after Casita was rebuilt instead of Abuela.

[@themonkeyman2910]

I have a burning question: I know they lived in a magical house, but the house seemed to only respond to Mirabel. The house tried to save her when it was falling apart!

[@kseniaboytseva4714]

Camilo can transform into other people only externally, but not use the abilities of people whose appearance he acquires. That's why Bruno's eyes in his version just glow green... all the time, according to the boy (because he saw his uncle painted on a city mural showing the details of his family). Although Bruno's eyes become like this only during the use of the gift, which Camilo could not know because it is unknown whether he saw Bruno during the ritual of predicting the future or just relied on negative rumors of others about his relative.

Bruno "left" the Casita 10 years before, so when Dolores was around 10-12. He probably gave her prophecy few years before. So I can easily imagine Dolores starting to cry when she saw that her love story would never happen and Bruno stopped like he did with Mirabel prophecy to confort her. So nobody knew the end of the vision. And it helped to make Bruno even more anxious and to grow even more his need to go away to protect his familly.

1. After the miracle was restored, did Mirabel still have to stay in the nursery, or did she get a room suited to her? 2. How did Mirabel get back across the crevasse in Bruno's tower when she had nothing to swing on, and had such a hard time getting over in the first place?

She still stays at the nursery and the sand i think

[@Uguiyomi]

About the second question, i may have an idea... but English it´s not my first language so i´m not sure if i´ll be able to explain my thought. Do you remember the way she got to the entry of the cave, with one ot the strings of the bridge and she swang to the other side? I think she could have easily (not that easily but still) done the same thing to get out of there... like... she could have made the same process but from the other side, with the same string that she used before, since she attached this one to a bunch of rocks that where in the cave´s side, i think it´s save to assume that the string was still there while she was looking for the vision... so she just had to attach it to some rocks on the other side...swing again...this time maybe being more cautious and getting out of there... it´s my theory. I might be wrong tho.

12:30 “Except Bruno” aren’t you forgetting Camilo? All she said for him is “Camilo shapeshifts” SUCH GREAT DETAIL

[@GlawiousAldredMarci]

The problem with the visions were that it looked like Bruno never learned to use his powers as he always looked at the visions from one angle and saw only a glimpse. The first time he actually tries to look into a future with full attention is when he sees Mirabell's future and even then he only sees that she can be the problem or the solution. Then Mirabell actually notices that his visions are only half baked as Bruno never actually found the subtle parts, hints and meanings behind them which could have prevented that praticular future he saw from happening. :)

[@kinley5185]

My question is: how did some of the family members figure out their gifts? Because as we see, as soon as Antonio gets his gift, the bird flies up and he starts talking to it. So, how did Julieta figure out she could cook to heal people, like, did the house just bring her the stove or something? Or how did Bruno figure out he could predict the future without having to set up the whole ring of sand?

[@zarif1217]

I think the materials bruno needed teleported to him, and an oven teleported to Julieta

[@hearmeout1767]

It would be nice if we could see a video of the other gift ceremonies.

[@paige13]

i think when they went inside their room it reveals it. for example, i saw a video of a guy predicting what everyones room looked like. he said that Julieta’s room could’ve welcomed you with a kitchen and further out there’s an herbs garden. And maybe since Antonio was an animal guy at the start, and he got a power associated with animals, maybe since Julieta is such a kind and gentle and caring mom, she would help people, heal them, cure them. And maybe before her gift, she was really into food or cooking of some sort or interested in it as a child, so they figured it fits into that category. And With Camilo’s room he said that he pictured Camilo’s room to be full of mirrors. He thought this because Encanto’s creator mentions that Camilo is a theater kid. Maybe he liked acting, so the room was filled with mirrors so he could practice his acting or shapeshifting. Dolores was obviously blasted with a bunch of ringing in her ear and combustion of the ear drum so she would’ve probably have dropped to the ground in pain and agony with blood all over her face and ears so they *probably* have guessed what her “gift” was. I can’t quite think of how Bruno could’ve figured out his, but maybe the gods told him or whatever. It’s a Disney movie, what did you expect?

[@anyasingh697]

Theory: Mirabel's door was the main door of the Casita even before they built Casita again? When Mirabel's gift ceremony is held, the door disappears into the walls, as if absorbing Mira's essence. The Casita also responds to Mirabel's emotions. On the night of Antonio's gift ceremony, after she sang 'Waiting on a Miracle', Casita started cracking. Then healed when she got control of her emotions, and when she ruined Isa's proposal, the same happened. She didn't get control of her emotions after her fight with Alma, so Casita fully broke. I feel Mira's gift *is* Casita, as she's the only one who has two way convos with Casita?

yeah, I'm pretty sure her gift is her connection to Casita. it helps her with everything from getting ready in the morning to singing a song, even helping her reach the candle while it's crumbling around her and I don't think you ever see it interacting with everyone else to that extent. it's like everyone else gets a room, but the whole house is kind of her space.

No one mentions that Abuela has no gifts. She received a miracle but she has no special powers. I think they missed an opportunity to say that Mirabelle's job is to work with Abuela, holding the family together.

[@nataliacruz6218]

I thought that was pretty implied

[@draguta8995]

My theory is that Abuela's gift was power itself. I think that the power was already in her, and the trauma of loosing Pedro unleased it. But because there's no other magical entity in the movie world, she doesn't know what's happening. In her perspective, she sees the candle morphing and a safe environment has been created, so that the candle becomes the hero of the story. How did Abuela know to get her triplets in front of their room doors and commune with the candle (which I think became Abuela's magical foci, like wands are for witches/wizards) to get their own power? I think the candle drew magic from Abuela and enhanced an ability already within the individual. Julieta was already a care-taker personality, Bruno being exceptionally good at making predictions about the results of people's actions, Pepa being good at predicting the weather, Luisa liked lifting heavy things, Isabella liked flowers, etc.

[@randomitalianinthecomments]

they kinda did, when Abuela said to Mirabel that sometimes the only way for people like them (people without gifts such as herself and Mirabel) to help is to step aside.

[@marleinasmom]

Abuela's gift was her control of the house. Casita only responded to Abuela and Mirabel. It would help the others, but only those two could direct it's actions... like Abuela asking Casita to move Maribel's seat at breakfast, Mirabel asking for accompaniment to start The Family Madrigal, or Mirabel asking Casita to help her reach the candle. They get the Head of the Family powers.

[@bastian_1991]

@@marleinasmom I really don't think Casita only responds to them. Remember Luisa's corridor treadmill ? I think Abuela is kind of the power holder, she represents authority, the magic comes originally from her and her grief and loss, therefore Casita will obey her first and foremost. And in the case of Mirabel, I think it is as simple as Mirabel being more caring and compassionate, more empathetic than everyone else, which is the reason why she can heal everyone's stress. And that's why she communicates more with Casita and why Casita is always helping her. Another reason why Mirabel interacts more with Casita is probably because, deep inside, despite being surrounded by a big family, she feels so alone being the only kid with no inherited power. The others simply do not interact as much with Casita, they probably do not need to. But remember Casita was there to help them all, like saving them from falling towards the end.

[@iamita13]

The only thing that has me thinking is: why is Antonio singing the line “that’s Bruno?” at the end of the movie? He’d let them use his room for Mirabel to have a new vision, the rats “told him everything”… he met Bruno before all the disaster, how come he’s now acting like “oh that’s Bruno?” 🧐🤔🤨

[@SenseOfHumorRequired]

Maybe because he had more recent memories of Bruno than his brother. Camilo said his uncle was seven feet tall, maybe Antonio was just trying to get him up to speed like the rats did when they told him everything.

[@ReigningRaven22]

I interpret the gifts as weapons for the family to use to defend the encanto, to avoid another situation like when the soldiers killed Pedro. The candle was probably trying to keep Alma safe and gave her family specific gifts. Pepa can control the weather, imagine you're going to take over a town and suddenly there's a hurricane in your way. Bruno can look into the future and see people with bad intentions coming. Julieta is clearly a medic to help the injured. Luisa is basically Colombian Hulk, I wouldn't want to be in a ring with her. Isabela, we learn, can weaponize her plants, and literally uses them to punch Mariano in the face (more than once). Dolores can hear people making attack plans or coming a mile away. Camilo shapeshifts, so he's the best choice for a spy. Then we have Antonio, who can get intel from the numerous animals in the area. The house is making sure the night Pedro died never happens again.

[@morkeys2586]

My biggest question is: Do the images on the doors age? I mean Antonio’s door shows him at the age of five, Abuelas at the age of 75 etc. But there’s this one scene where you can see a shot of all photos made at the ceremonies. At these photos you can see, that everyone already has the door they have as adults. I’m confused😂

I think the casita breaks everytime any family members argue. I think it's obvious that the casita represents the family relationships. Gradually it breaks because gradually, the pressure presses on. Mirabel confronted Abuela and the hatred just surged on. We can also see that the ground between them broke which proves that the characters developed distant feelings toward each other. They even said in the last song, "we need a new foundation." Because their family's foundation were grounded on their gifts and expectations. Mirabel even said, "I love the new foundation." because now, the foundation is love and acceptance.

This is my theory too. Bruno told people what the potential future, the most likely future, was. There's nothing you can do about going bald, for instance, but a fish dying? Growing a gut? You can be proactive and DO stuff about those and the prophecy wouldn't come true. The same goes for many of the prophecies given to the family. Isabella could have explored her potential earlier, were it not for the pressure of Abuela. Dolores could have proactively sought out the man of her dreams, instead of pitying herself. Maybe even talked to Isabella about it and found out "Wait, Isa doesn't want this either." This all plays into a line from Doloroes: Prophecies they don't understand. They didn't understand Bruno's power; they assume that it tells them the exact future, so they always assume the worst when he tells them what might happen. In some cases, the prophecies came true because their recipient did nothing about them.

@@koolaidsworld8518 I do remember that. I kind of fugue Delores was the only one who knew he was still around, but I could totally be wrong!

[@madddddddddddddddie]

I love how Dolores was the only one that stuck up for Bruno in the song ‘we don’t talk about Bruno’ saying that the other family members misunderstood him

[@themonkeyman2910]

Meanwhile, Camilo told a campfire story about him, lmao

[@aquele4virou3]

Yet she still misunderstood her own prophecy with the Mariano thing, expecting the worst scenario.

[@xXxINeedHelpxXx]

8:42 this is one of the best lines in the movie "Oh he's creepy and his vision killed my goldfish"🤣

[@CyrusShameli]

I thought Julieta had a power to heal because Mirabel got hurt during the movie and Julieta gave her food which healed her

[@akhilm9851]

When Delores mentions the rats in the walls discussing the miracle she may have meant Bruno and his novelas, another hint

[@mermer3572]

One question I have is, is Agustín less careful because he knows he can be healed at any time, or is he just THAT horrifically accident prone?

[@seol7035]

He probably was actually THAT horrifically accident prone, but after the marriage he started to care less since he'll be automatically healed after a meal at the end of a day

[@FoxesATrot]

Maybe it’s something to do with the economic concept of “Moral Hazard”? Not v sure hahaha

[@raismohamad2611]

Maybe he kind of less careful person and that how the romance between his wife created

[@PFederow]

Both, actually. If you watch the scene where he needs healing from bees, he is wearing one of his daughter's roses. He knows it's going to attract bees, but he doesn't care cause he supports his daughters unconditionally.

[@indigothecat]

My theory is that Abuela has been sort of "arranging" the marriages of her family since the beginning, which is why she had no problems basically grooming 22-year-old Isabela into marrying Mariano. It's not that Mariano is a bad guy, definitely not, but my guess is that she was trying to pick spouses that would compliment her children's gifts or needs. For example, poor Pepa has developed all kinds of anxiety issues over constantly having to control her emotions, so picking out the warm and go-with-the-flow Felix was meant to give her emotional support, and she also knew that, as Mirabel put it, Agustin is clumsy but he means well, and thus, the hard working yet accident prone Agustin (who was also allergic to bees) would be a good match for Julieta. Thus, as Abuela says, her "perfect Isabela" who is the very image of grace, beauty, and literally makes the flowers grow, needed a husband that was basically the equivalent of a gallant prince charming who was looking for his princess to profess his love to. I recognize that this also calls into question the marriages of Agustin and Felix, as Isabela definitely wasn't happy with Abuela's choice for her. It's not a perfect theory, but my other theory to go along with it is that after Mirabel didn't get a gift nor a door, Abuela's control issues went into overdrive, which hurt the family overall, with Bruno being the first to buckle under the pressure. I would imagine it was also around this time that Pepa started to develop her severe anxiety problems (after all, she had just lost her triplet brother, and wasn't allowed to talk about it), and Luisa was pressured hard to basically take care of the entire damn village, Abuela developed lightning focus on Isabela and grooming her to be the perfect future bride (then forcing the issue as soon as possible), meanwhile relegating poor Dolores to being her personal PA System and spy drone (she has no problem asking Dolores to tell her when Mariano is going to propose, rather than waiting for the information to come directly), causing Dolores to become a bit of a shrinking violet who has a hard time speaking up for herself.

The reason why the mountains didn't get back as they were is because they were the cocoons the caterpillars had to break after turning into butterflies, they were well sheltered, but they need to break through it to grow apart and come back so they can move on from the past. That's literally the meaning of the song "Dos Oruguitas"

[@LeathalLilithGhoulette]

In the family picture at 1:50 it looks like Mirabelle was standing off to the side, away from the family, and Louisa pulled her in. I like to imagine that because Louisa is such an underrated and nice character especially to Mirabelle.

[@imdani4997]

Aww I love the fact they made even adopted child can receive power 🥺 I thought only those with the same blood can. Truly shows the power of family's love does not lies on blood which is very fitting

[@AnthonyLeachman-sc6es]

She know 😂

[@ibetterbearoundyou]

It would be nice if they drop an extended version of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” where we get Julieta, Alma and Luisa’s perspective of Bruno. Even so, the Bruno itself perspective. Of course, only in terms of song because it’d ruin the storyline.

[@Adambon13]

Julieta mentions that Bruno lost his way in the family. I feel that she would have mentioned the bad things he prophesized. Alma would probably say the same thing and mention how he "abandoned his family". Luisa would probably mention how mysterious his gift was and that he spooked even her.

[@JazzyB9481]

I feel like Julieta was the most understanding sibling, because as soon as he started trying to apologize she hugged him and told him he doesn't need to. So it definitely would have been nice to hear her verse in the song. I don't think Abuela would have a verse because she is probably the one who created the "we don't talk about Bruno" rule, maybe as a way to cover her pain from him leaving. She wasn't a fan of showing vulnerability.

[@leo.solosv]

YES

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

Now I'm imagining Bruno having to use his visions to predict when he can safely take a bathroom break...

[@kizuna2225]

Considering he is a dude that makes soap operas with rats and cutouts and a guy that can break through a brick wall with nothing but a bucket on his head and a rat in his shirt, he would figure it out

[@Adambon13]

He said he didn't do that anymore when Mirabelle told him to look into the future again.

[@Furienna]

@@Adambon13 Also, the idea was that Bruno managed to divert a waterpipe and thus got access to water. So he would have had his own bathroom.

[@ghastlygavin]

Maybe he shat in a bucket

[@christophertalisman4674]

I think it's funny in Dolores's scene because if you look in the background, you can see Tio Bruno bobbing to the music, however, when I first saw this I thought he was actually doing that or it was just how the camera was moving in the scene + a trick of the eyes and although they were singing a song that says We Don't Talk About Bruno, I wonder why he was dancing to it other than the reason that it is/was a very catchy piece of audio artwork
