Hijinks-Adjacent
My part of this art trade with @prophetic-hijinks. She requested, quote "Just Elena and Bruno being lovey dovey. Maybe a little goofy"
I may have gone a little overboard trying to replicate her comedic style. I couldn't decide and let her choose bittersweet or funny ending.
(and because I am fully incapable of making a decision, there is a little more art below)
The lovely and incredible art trade from @thecrazyashley-blog . Thank you so much for all the hard work and lovely detail and thought you put into this. It is perfection ♥️
I Received my delightful art trade from the wonderful Mad @lord-madmyth on instagram. My own custom Elena doll to keep my Bruno doll company. She played Frankenstein with different dolls to give articulation and the perfect features, she also handmade the little emerald ring, and dress and the whole doll is so fantastic and lovely. Thank you again Hun 🥰🥰
Art trade with @thecrazyashley-blog of her lovely OC Elena Pascual from her amazing story “Among the Emeralds” fanfic here
She requested a serene scene of their two youngests, Inez and Gustavo being put to bed.
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 OC’s I love. It’s 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 who’s dreams came true.

Very late birthday gift for the lovely @prophetic-hijinks
Somewhere down the line of her comics and associated lore there's a snippet where Bruno is asking the family for more opportunities to work, trying to get in better shape, but he mentions an oddly specific weight he's going for.
Pepa, of course, twigs on immediately and asks Elena what she weighs.
I couldn't decide which expression to go with, so let's just go with one of these being a first attempt vs a later one when Bruno's a little more confident in himself (and maybe didn't just surprise Elena out of nowhere XD)
This was a much more wholesome reason for that lore lol.
Ashley you’re a doll and amazing and I love it. Thank you so much.
Elena has a sex appeal she wields on stage, and on occasion, to mess with Bruno

A birthday gift for the ever lovely @prophetic-hijinks
Happy Birthday!
I have been dragged from one end of British Columbia to the other with no phone service, so I am so sorry for the delay. But this is so lovely and sweet and funny.
Adore how precious the kids are, and the scene with the catcalls. Thank you Rinny for the wonderful birthday gift.

A birthday present for my dear Encanto friend, @prophetic-hijinks ! I had SO much fun writing the witty, Bogart-style banter for Bruno’s inner monologue. I’ve always been a sucker for those old black-and-white crime movies. Enjoy!
Thank you Bitsy my incredible friend. I love it so much, and it’s the perfect blend of humor and wit. I adore it. Thank you!

Anonymous asked:
You know how sometimes blind people will touch the face of their loved ones to get an idea of what they look like? Did Ramiro do that with Bruno and Elena?
Ramiro touches Elena’s face. “You seem pretty.”
Bruno: “prettiest woman in Colombia”
Elena: “Aw, Babe.”
Ramiro tries Bruno face. “Wow, your nose is big”
Bruno: “Thank you for noticing.”
Elena was a happy little girl with two loving parents. Her mother a seamstress and her father a guitarist and songwriter too shy to be a head performer.
When she was 12 she lost everything in a house fire. She was really lost for a while, if not for the kindness of a Noviate named Sarah who helped her navigate her grief. She introduced her to her brother Ramon who was a busker and performer in the town square. Every few days, Sarah would leave them to sing and Ramon, voice husky from cigars would train her to be a performer saying the tips collected was payment of the lessons. But really, he saved it all and gave it to her when she left the orphanage. Ramon would be a lifelong mentor, friend and father figure to Elena and walk her down the aisle twice.
Elena married Carlos at twenty and he is the one to convince her to sing at seedy clubs to work her way up to the goal of the Chia lounge. Here Elena learned how to use humor to get out of uncomfortable situations. Carlos and Elena were in love and wanted a big family, but Carlos always went into it with a possessive attitude. And when Elena started to make more money then him, became a local celebrity, and had her first album. The resentment grew. His ego couldn’t handle her being the breadwinner, and he began to stay out late and drink more, affecting his ability to keep jobs. This was compounded by Elena and Carlos being unable to conceive and Carlos couldn’t handle the idea as a man he was infertile, even refusing to adopt as he saw it to mean to admit defeat.
The copper engagement ring reflects their economic state when they married, but also how their love will eventually tarnish and her future ring would be green.
Elena met Bruno at 39, they married a month or so after she turned 40 and had the kids at 41. This is the timeline of Hijinks and where our story starts.
And Elena at 75 is just a happy grandma surrounded by grandchildren. Bruno has evolved into his final form of cranky old lovable man, who pretends to be cantankerous to amuse his grandchildren and get eye rolls and gentle admonishment from Elena as the children laugh.
Hijinks isn’t a complicated story. It’s meant to be a simple Disney happily ever after. Of two characters with great capacity of love and kindness, being discarded or not appreciated. And how stigma isolates. whether because of misunderstood God like powers, or the more mundane sexism of women working, women in “improper” jobs and the stigma and stain of divorce. And how two drastically different people on paper, come together and love each other in the way both deserve, because their hearts match in all the right ways.
Christmas in July exchange for @overly-dramatic-artist and their lovely Angela
Romantic Duet
Elena and Bruno take a break from the engagement party when the crowds become too much for Bruno to handle. Bruno in a moment of self-consciousness. Asks why Elena loves him. Cue romantic ballad.
This was originally for the WDTAJ event, but it wasn’t Bruno centered enough. So random comic-esque comic. The song is “bless the broken road” by Rascall Flatts.
Weaponized Cuteness
This comic is set soon after their engagement. This is a little bit of matchmaker rats weaponizing Antonio. But Antonio does like how Elena and Bruno read stories. I imagine they both are very dramatic with the voices.
Also I assume there is a very irritated Hugo somewhere in the city wondering where the heck ‘Bambi’ is.
