I'll try to keep this pretty brief but thorough since I don't want to actively overwhelm you with crit. Personally, I think a lot of what you do with Bruno is interesting and fun to read. It's obvious you have a lot of thoughts about Bruno as a character.
Other times I feel like you forget the IC/OC divide on interacting with characters and how to handle that properly. You'll have this idea in your head and want to get it out, without first considering the in-character context around Bruno and how a man of Bruno's age would actually act.
My immediate examples:
1. During Bruno and Peter's thread after Peter returned from death (way back when the Marvel cast did a team wipe by Dala Lake), you had Bruno reveal to the then minor character that Bruno was raped by Green Goblin when Peter was upset. At the time I was personally uncomfortable with it. I opted to just roll past the awkwardness of it to be sure the thread wrapped. I can't and won't speak for my castmates, but I had intended for Peter to never find out about the more sexual side of what was going on with the Green Goblin. Bruno casually dropping that information to a child he was soothing felt surreal and a bit unsettling.
2. More recently on Chiaki's post for gathering information about monsters, you had Bruno ICly mention his characters enlarged nuts as a rat. While that itself is fine enough of a headcanon/feature given the actual animals' anatomy, having Bruno explicitly mention it to a character whose close to his nieces' ages is not great.
I feel like you need to maybe take a step back on occasion and go 'yes, I really love this idea and want to use it, but should I? Who are my audience icly and oocly right now? I can't speak for every thread or post you do, but I can at least say it feels like you get excited and throw yourself into the fray immediately. Roleplay is a collaborative effort, and you need to be aware of who your audience is.
I also personally apply this to the brief stint you had Bruno play around with D.I.D. I'm sure someone else spoke with you about the topic before, but I wanted to at least say something very briefly about it.
I cannot speak as someone with the disorder, but I know enough to tell you D.I.D comes from childhood abuse/sexual trauma. Bruno suddenly developing D.I.D when he was not hinted to have it in the source material comes off as a little insensitive. Not to mention it doesn't seem like you actively researched D.I.D or spoke to anyone who has it. Playing with Bruno's more shade-like elements is more than fine, but please before you decide to jump into the deep end of writing a mental illness like that, do a bit more active research and see if it fits with the character and monster elements on display.
