Are you still doing Q&A's on instagram?
Maybe if I get the urge. But I think I am mostly done with my project.

Return to Casita where we find seventeen-year-old Bruno from Disneyβs hit animated film Encanto, where readers will finally learn what happened to make people never want to talk about him.
Fans will love this dark and mysterious young adult novel by Alex Segura, a NYT bestselling author who also wroteΒ Poe Dameron: Free FallΒ andΒ AraΓ±a and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow.
Seventeen-year-old Bruno has never really fit in with his familyβwhy canβt he be as outgoing as his sister Pepa, or as friendly as his sister Julieta? Does he like being the awkward loaner who never seems to find where he can fit in? But itβs hard to be popular when you have the power to tell the future and people donβt always like what you are telling them. So Bruno devises an act, and begins to model the behavior he feels the town wants to see in a hero.
But is being dishonest to himself and others the right path to walk down in order to make friends, or is Bruno just kidding himself as he hides from his own destiny that threatens to destroy all he holds dear?
Felix: your brother said something weird to me
Pepa: that's not that surprising
Felix: he said he wanted to do more physical chores around the Encanto.
Pepa: why he hates physical labor?
Felix: yes, but he says that he wants to be able to lift at least 117 lb. Which was odd, because it was such an oddly specific number
*Elena walks into the kitchen and stumbles over to the carafe.*
Pepa: Elena, Julieta likes to get a baseline of health for the people in the family. About how much do you weigh?
Elena (barely awake): last I checked 117 lbs
Pepa and Felix trying not to lose it. "Thank you"
Sweet story between Elena and Alma. This is mostly the meat of the story, but lacks a beginning and end. But figured Iβd share.
βββββ
Out in the secluded part of the patio overlooking a beautiful view of the Encanto, made private with Isabela's flowers, Elena is preparing to feed Catalina when Alma arranges a pillow under Elena and instructs her how to do tandem feeding for the first time.
"You have to tuck their little legs against you, or else they may kick each other" Alma explains over hungry wails. Eventually the tiny babes latch and the ear splitting cries turn to soft mewls
Elena let's out a sigh of relief, exhausted but smiling. "Much better, no waiting at Cafe Elena, eh little ones?"
Alma hesitates in place now that Elena is situated, unsure if she was welcome for this intimate moment, but Elena with a smile invites her to sit.
"Thank youβ. Elena said, a thumb gently stroking Catalinaβs head. βI felt terrible making one wait for the other. broke my heart to hear one crying."
"I understand, you'll be surprised the tricks you develop when you have three to juggle, there are different positions as they grow. I can teach you". Alma gently runs her fingers around one of Pedro's curls. "This was my favorite part."
"Hmmm?"
Alma continues "When I lost Pedro, but gained our miracle. The whole village looked to me, for guidance and advice; The keeper of the candle. I thought it was my duty to be self sacrificing, to display the fruit of the spirit, and be worthy of the miracle."
A wind blowing from the mountain paused Alma long enough to drape her shawl over Elena's exposed shoulders.
"I was everything to everyone at that time. I now know, it was not selfless. I was afraid. Afraid to take the time to mourn, or to really just be. Just be a mother with her babies."
"Ah, but when they cried for me. It was the excuse I needed to feel ok with getting away and sit in the moment. To take care of them and not feel guilt and question if I was doing enough elsewhere. Sometimes I even enjoyed some quiet during it, but usually if Bruno cried, so did Pepa."
Pedro wrapped his finger around Alma's as he finished his meal. Elena loosening her arm, so Alma could gently take him over her shoulder and gently pat his back. Gurgling burps at the attention.
"What did you do when all three cried?"
"Pray." Alma said solemnly, as she did the sign of the cross with a small smile, earning a surprised laugh from Elena. She hadn't actually heard her tell a joke before.
Villager angrily walks out after visiting Bruno. Elena and Antonio watching the villager as he walks out in a huff
Elena: βAntonio I need a rat messenger pleaseβ.
Bruno sitting cross legged in vision cave, fingers steepled against a growing headache
Rat runs up with a folded note.
Note: βJust a reminder I cherish and adore you.β
A little arrow points to corner and
βopen for moreβ
Bruno smiling flips the note open.
PS I like your butt (silly butt picture)
Bruno: My Ruana is very soft, special material from the Encanto. Feel.
Elena: *touching it thoughtfully* Hmm
Bruno: Feel that? That's boyfriend material.
Elena: Oh God. How long you been sitting on that?
Bruno: About a week.

Happy Valentines Day all and Happy Birthday to Elena. Hijinks has been a long road, and with it I made a story I am proud of and OCβs I love. Itβs nice to escape into happy stories with happy endings. I thank you all who followed along and loved Prophetic Hijinks. I may get the urge to draw these characters again, but as the pull of real life draws me away I feel I can be satisfied with this happy ending.
A happy Bruno who got more than he ever hoped for, and a woman whoβs dreams came true.
