This is my Encanto ship.
It fascinated me since the 1st time i saw the movie on theaters.
Is a toxic situationship, where I project the machismo latinoamerican phenomenom that some single mothers do, either knowing or subconciously, its on the edge of incest due to the psychological implications this behaviour carries and its implications for the outsiders of the nuclear family.
There are many headcanons regarding Bruno, mine is that he was force to "be the man of the house", to substitute the absent father, to be the example, and failing miserably. Alma really is cruel and unmerciful, even manipulative i could say.
The son-husband, poor Bruno wasnt even capable to create his own family, his own patner, anythimg that is not centered on the encanto and by extension... alma.
He "left" but it wasnt real leaving. Just bein ostracized and isolated from his own community, his own family. Left to fulfill his own emotional needs behind the dinner table wall.
