Grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling, I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling, I associate him with the sound of falling sand.
What a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left Abuela and the family fumbling, grappling with prophecies they couldn’t understand.
Do you understand?

I’m pretty sure we don’t talk about Bruno…
-
I’ve not seen Encanto. But prophecies are best understood after they are complete
-
You don't need to see Encanto to answer the question. You're just supposed to make a silly response to my silly question. :p While prophecies can be more easily understood after they've passed, it's kind of redundant at that point. Like, at that point you just have Padparadscha.

alternate Padparadscha isn't so bad eternal sleep or whatnot
-
That’s the point of prophecy. It’s a sequence of events foretold that only is best understood in its entirety
-
Well, ideally the prophecy should exist to help you prepare for the future. If it only makes sense after te fact, then it’s kind of useless.
-
Depends on the school of prophecy. Greek, Hebrew, Christian, and Muslim prophecy tend to either be warnings, or not fully understood till manifest. The reason prophecies tend to not be understood until manifested is because we try to twist them to our ideas of what should happen
-
But, even so, a prophecy is given with the intent of being able to prepare for the future. If it can’t be understood until that future comes, it’s useless. A good prophecy can be rendered useless, as you said, by someone trying to twist it to their ideals, but in that case the prophecy was simply misinterpreted. A good seer should warn against this. But, if the prophecy can’t be understood at all until its events have already passed, then it’s a bad prophecy.
