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 🥰🥰
Incorrect quote this time, because I couldn’t think of a unique joke :)
Wanted to do my own version of the challenge that went around awhile ago, where I draw Elena in the Encanto Storybook style
I had to move Bruno over in order to fit Elena in, if you would like that procreate file with the characters cut out and filled in background I don’t mind sharing the link to the procreate file
A sketch that has plagued me for over a year. I am not happy with the color, but at least it is done.
A love a little slice of family bliss though 💚
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 I’d share.
—————
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 you”. Elena said, a thumb gently stroking Catalina’s head. “I 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: “Antonio I need a rat messenger please”.
Bruno sitting cross legged in vision cave, fingers steepled against a growing headache
Rat runs up with a folded note.
Note: “Just a reminder I cherish and adore you.”
A little arrow points to corner and
“open for more”
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 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.

117
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
