How did bro castle when my queen was in the line of attack? Here is the game: https://www.chess.com/game/139484689146 . Bro castled on move 15. I didn’t think it was possible since I can never do them when I want. Thanks.

No, it was not in the line of attack. The rules about castling say "The king cannot move through squares attacked by enemy pieces". In this case, your opponent's king was going from e8 to c8, and your queen attacked b8.

I was surprised by this fact when i was your level too…. But it is better than thinking that queenside castling even doesn't exist….. there are a few people who really believes this.
