Varian And The Seven Kingdoms - Tumblr Posts
Guess who’s attempting to do a really giant Varigo and co in a cave one shot with all the prompts in order for whumptober?!!?
(if you guessed me you win a prize)
What I think the vat7k gang’s waking up routine is:
Yong: He wakes up the latest, will sleep until 2 pm. Once he wakes up he’s super energetic and ready to go, but only if he’s had at least 8 hours. Anything less, and he’s a blob that can’t do anything
Varian: Arguably the worst out of the four on the sleep side of things. Only goes to sleep when his body is literally incapable of functioning, wakes up late normally (not as late as Yong), but is extremely grumpy no matter how much sleep he got.
Nuru: Embodiment of ‘early bird gets the worm’ wakes up extremely early, doesn’t even drink coffee, she’s just Like That. Somehow can also stay up late to look at stars, but she does sleep a little later on those nights. Believes in self care, tries to get as close to 8 as she can, but often stays up too late.
Hugo: Also an early riser, though not as extreme as Nuru. Light sleeper on account of the thief thing, gets startled by the slightest noise. This leads to many sleepless nights. Can function on little to no sleep, but will pass out half-way through the day. Tries his best to get a decent amount, usually succeeds.
I have never seen varigo cosplay before it it is THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!
disneyland happenings
featuring varian and hugo. since thats what our costumes were
^(us trying to be very spooky) (there is a lot below btw lol)
someone asking if i (dressed as hugo) was from atlantis. surprisingly this only happened once
we went to kingdom hearts mickey first bc that was gonna be a popular one the rest of the night. the idea of varian in kingdom hearts is definitely really funny. i do not go here im just being honest
OH. new addition to the costume. i had olivia with me as a shoulder friend
met bruno from encanto who commented on her. we talked about our rodent friends he was very nice. he said he brought "all 200" of his rats with him and wanted to help feed them and knows mickey is a big mouse so maybe we could ask him. i said we could just steal some food. varian got mad
went over to see sid from toy story because he seemed like a mean little bitch. he was a mean little bitch. i may have said that his creations could use a little work but thats no reason for him to say "your mouse needs a little work" and "i hope you kept the receipt".... cunt
laughing about how mother gothel was no longer part of the characters to meet. "they killed her forever this time" etc etc
watching the parade and varian almost jumping out of his skin when mother gothel was in the parade. her ghost
we went to this thing called villain's grove which was a bunch of light and effects n stuff through their little forest area. it was mostly a cool immersive experience so most of the footage is on the Lights And Effects Themselves but here's a few of us that look cool lol. gay tunnel (maybe not) (that segment was themed after frollo)
met hans from frozen. we absolutely had no clue he was going to be there it was pretty funny. you may guess that my friend @kristoffs-lullaby (varian cosplayer) is a frozen enjoyer. so we hopped in line to see him
hans asked if varian's alchemy balls were some sort of magic or enchantment and you'll Never guess what varian responded with
though explaining its alchemy and science and all that didnt really make him feel better. he even asked if its something that would be in danger of bringing in an "eternal winter". varian did not like that :)
saw dr. doofenshmirtz (?) i didnt watch that show. he was pretty fun to meet though. i know some people dont like his creepy ass design, but i do, its fun and weird to me. he wanted to collaborate with me and varian since we're scientists. really funny to have him say "i'll have my people call your people". a possible strange message that rapunzel will get later /j
also encountered hades. though our friend @iammisswow was with us and so i had him focus on her since shes a big hercules fan. the visual was hugo getting this scary man's attention to be put on someone else by calling her out. it worked obviously. "oh SHE is a HUGE fan of hercules"
madam mim from sword in the stone didnt really have as big of a crowd so we actually talked with her a pretty good amount. shes SO fun. lots of discussion about magic vs science and how she thinks knowledge is stupid. you can imagine how we of all people felt when she said "KNOWLEDGE is not power, MAGIC is power". she also liked olivia (she thought she was a familiar)
meeting judge doom from roger rabbit was kind of scary LOL. very intimidating man. but his area had vats of chemicals and all that so you can imagine we had fun with that. WE can be trusted. obviously.
nervously just nodding our heads as judge doom tells us to come to him if we have any information regarding where "that rabbit is" (we are not doing that)
and also we saw ernesto de la cruz from coco. we were actually able to catch him right as he started performing which is rad but i dont actually have any interactions to tell u about here it was bad ass though
and, unbeknownst to Hugo (as in i also didnt know about this), varian had a surprise for him. he had a whole... horribly genuine and flustery spiel to say about messing around in his lab and all that and made something for hugo. which was a necklace with a piece of colored glass-like material (teal) in the shape of a heart. hugo handled that whole situation really well (lie)
ANYWAYS ! that's it. i've mentioned before but Disneyland Trips will be retired really soon since I'm not too fond of a lot of their wack shit right now, but wanted to share some of the last bit of enjoyable times to be had there before that happens
French Boy
so i saw a post of people thinking Hugos british and it was REALLY FUNNY
Then I remember my Hugo headcannon and...
My french teachers gonna kill me
Whumptober Day Two: You try and backstab me?! (I'll just have to stab you first)
Varian had had all sorts of crazy dreams over the years.
From fever dreams to crazy nightmares- oh, and that one time where the creepy ghost girl (that just so happened to be a crazy demon of Zahn Tiri) snuck into his dreams and told him the secret for the final incantation and gave him slight phasmophobia.
But none of these could compare to the dream he’d had last night.
The room seemed to go on forever in all directions, bookshelves that looked like they were reaching for the heavens and tables covered in beakers, open books and papers with scribbled notes scattered around the room.
“Where am I?”
“Varian!” He turned around and saw a woman standing in the center of the room, (or…maybe he was in a library?) Her fiery red hair was barely contained to the top of her head in a messy bun, her teal dress rumpled like she hadn’t changed in a hot minute… she looked familiar, but from where?
She cupped his cheeks in her hands “Oh my son, you're as beautiful as the day I lost you…”
Wait, son?!
“I wish I had the time to tell you everything sweetie, but this spell isn’t going to last much longer and I have to warn you of this” she started pacing around the room, snatching books and papers in a frenzy.
“Wait M-mom, if you could have talked to me- talked to Dad all this time… why did you wait ‘till just now?!”
He followed her, thinking she would stop and look at him for a second (Y’know, considering this was their first time meeting in 18 fucking years!) but she just kept grabbing and tossing random books and papers frantically.
“I’ve only just harnessed enough power for this, the Library is really doing everything it can to keep me- all of me- trapped in this hell… but that doesn't matter right now”
“S-so what did you mean, a warning? What are you warning me about?!” She turned to face him, eyes wild and frantic with the jumble of papers slipping from her arms and to the ground “
Hugo isn’t who you think he is. You can’t trust him Varian, don’t let yourself get hurt again”
He woke up in cold sweat, fear and shock trembling through his bones.
What the hell was that… Did… did he just meet his mother? Like, for the first time, and was the only thing she bothered to say was “Hi child I haven't seen in almost 20 years, your best friend/ kinda crush isn't who you think he is!”
Isn’t who you think he is…
Isn’t who you think he is…
Isn’t who you think he is…
The words kept ringing in his ear, embedding themselves into his mind. Did this mean… was Hugo going to betray him?
No no, that would never happen! Hugo was his friend- his best friend, he wouldn't…
You’ve been betrayed by friends before… who’s to say it couldn’t happen again…
No. This was what happened with Cass, she let herself be manipulated without any actual proof and it all went to shit. His friend wouldn’t do that to him, Hugo wouldn’t do that to him.
Besides, how could he know that was actually a vision of his mom? The weird dream was probably just a side effect of the new sleep tonic he’d taken earlier.
He was a scientist, and scientists couldn’t make any conclusions without having solid evidence. He was just gonna go back to sleep (AKA go work in the lab until dawn) and move on with his life in the morning, he just needed to ignore it.
Just ignore it.
Turns out “just ignoring it” wouldn’t work. The weird dreams, well they weren't just a one time thing. They came almost every night, changing a bit each time with what he and his mom would talk about but always ending with the same terrible terrible sentence “Hugo isn’t who you think he is… he will betray you!”
And yes, he tried just not sleeping to avoid the dream but he’d either crash and burn the next night from exhaustion (and drain his coffee supply during the day) or Nuru would make sure he went to bed.
Hugo had also started acting more and more secretive after each trial, he knew he was hiding something. And he didn’t want to believe what it was…
With each new dream and the day they would finally enter the Library creeping closer, it was growing painfully obvious that his mom might be telling the truth.
He sighed, pushing the thought aside as his head hit the pillow. He had to get some rest for when they opened the gates tomorrow… and after all, why loom over the thought when his dreams would just do it for him.
The room was messy and slightly dark- like usual- and his mother was sitting his her favorite chair on the far side of the room, next to one of the many crowded bookshelves and a fireplace.
She was looming over a book, reading furiously and constantly pushing back strands of her red hair that had escaped her bun.
She didn’t seem to notice Varian was here and was just mumbling some gibberish under her breath and she scribbled down notes so he went and gave her a light tap on the shoulder, she flinched but soon smiled when she saw his face.
“Oh Varian! How are you pumpkin?” After many times of doing the spell that let her into his dream, Ulla sometimes couldn’t tell the difference between this and the real world.
“Hi mom, we finally completed the trails and are opening the gates to the Library tomorrow” Her face lit up and she slammed the book she was writing in closed.
“That’s wonderful!” she held his face in her hand, an action Varian had grown very fond of over their visits. “I can’t wait to finally see you- really, see you- again… and, Hugo?”
“How many times do I have to tell you Mom! He’s not going to betray me!”
He couldn’t decide whether he was saying that for her to believe it… or for himself…
For her… definitely for her…
She sighed sadly and her eyes said she was pondering what to say next “I really hoped I wouldn't have to show you this… but you’ve left me no choice”
Before he could ask what his mind started flowing with visions
A young Hugo…stealing for Donella and saluting for her…
Hugo taking the fire totem and handing it over to Donella…
Hugo joined their team once Donella ordered him to…
Hugo, copying each and every one of his notes and hanging them over to Donella
Hugo sneaking away from camp to report to Donella
Hugo…
Hugo…
Hugo…
He awoke in cold sweat… but this time instead of fear, he felt only anger.
How could Hugo do this! This must be why Donella always seemed to know their next move, why she was always to step ahead no matter what Varian did! All because of Hugo…
I told you…
“What do I do now Mom?”
Get him first!
A dagger that he didn’t remember leaving on his windowsill gleamed in the moonlight and without thinking, he grabbed it and ran.
Hugo’s room was empty, nothing there but the small sleeping figure of Olivia.
The woods, go to the woods!
Running through the dark woods he felt an evil and strange sence of anger surge through him, it didn’t even seem human, he’d never felt anger like this- not even when his father got trapped in the amber.
But it didn’t matter, all that mattered was revenge…
He found Hugo leaning on a tree, and his blonde friend traitor jumped when he saw Varian, clearly not expecting anyone else to be there at two in the morning.
No one but your boss, you lying rat!
“Goggles, what the hell are you doing out here so late- well more like so early I guess”
“I could ask you the same thing Beanpole” A nervous look flashed across Hugo’s face but it was quickly masked by his usual casual demeanor.
“Well I-”
“Don’t even try and hide it, he- I know everything”
“He- what are you talking about Var? And what is going on with your eyes?” Varian’s leg flew towards Hugo’s stomach, knocking him to his knees with several choughs.
“What the fuck!”
“You’re working for Donella, you were going to betray him!”
Hugo’s face went white, how did he know… and what was going on with his voice, and his eyes. His eyes seemed to be glowing.
“My son has been hurt by people like you for far too long… I won’t let Donnie win again”
Donnie? As far as he knew only one person had ever had the guts to call his boss by that name…Varian, who wasn’t acting like Varian, pulled out a dagger and used it to point Hugo’s chin up to face him.
His eyes were definitely glowing with an evil electric blue that were not the eyes Hugo had grown to love…
“It’s a shame though… my pumpkin did really love you, but after this it won’t matter. We’ll be together again, I’ll finally be there to protect him from traitors like you”
He felt the knife pierce through his scream and a sharp cry ripped through his street. Blood was staining his clothes and pain was radiating through his body.
He crumpled to the ground begging for Varian to snap out of it, to help him! But his love only grinned evilly and wiped the dagger with his cloth.
“Oh and if my Donnie finds you still alive, say hi for me, won’t you…”
this sounds phemominal but none of my friend know what tts is let alone vat7k...
Boo
i cannot emphasize how necessary it is to have a buddy to participate in fandom with. completely elevated experience. don't have a buddy? find someone you like and message them and be their friend. gush over every sketch and drabble and insane headcanon they have. live life to the fullest.
A couple of quick doodles of the alchemboyfriends because I l o v e t h e m
Nuru: I’m working with criminals
Yong: it was just a small explosion, the fire was an accident
Hugo: it wasn’t like I stole something valuable!
Nuru: well at least Varian’s a decent citizen
Varian, who forgot to tell them about his long list of crimes: about that
yes, we all love angst, and varian angst re: his friends finding out about his past. but. imagine if varian just makes vague jokes about it
like they face a minor inconvenience and varian just goes “now this is something to commit regicide over!” and everyone stares at him in varying degrees of horror and confusion until he remembers he didnt tell them that story, so he just goes, “...inside joke. i’ll tell you later”
they get kidnapped by bandits and he goes, “c’mon, this goes against all drugging etiquette.”
he gets the same looks from nuru, yong, and hugo, and he just sighs and says once more, “inside joke”
when hugos betrayal is revealed, varian says, through his tears, “if i had a silver piece for everytime a green eyed blond betrayed me, i would have two pieces!” before darting into the library
hugo kinda wants to cry. yong is crying. nuru is healthily in between. its Fine
He's so punchable (mmmmmmmm yumyum pencil sketch)
Varigo, but the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I love them so much and botw setting is... *muah* perfect. wait for the hot spring scene
Been thinking about Vat7k and I have decided that Varian doesn’t need a romance arc. He’s already got enough going on plotwise with finding the trials and meeting distant family members, so any more would just shove aside whatever Nuru and Yong would have going on.
However, Hugo should have that arc. Him tagging along on the quest and slowly letting himself truly feel again and tangling with all the stuff that goes along with making friends and falling in love while being a double agent? Dat’s the good shit right there.
Meanwhile Varian’s side of it is just, “hey, I’m on a self-discovery roadtrip, so come what may!”, so when maybe a month before the Library he realizes he’s got a crush, he doesn’t freak out or deny it, he’s just in his tent like
And he’s thinking “I’ve been through enough shit in my life, I deserve a simple little thing like this :)”, not realizing that Fate Itself is about to bash him on the head like Gallagher with a watermelon.
(he does start openly flirting with Hugo at this point, but due to a combo of being bad at it and Hugo internally freaking out bc of Everything Else, he doesn’t catch on to what he’s doing)
at first, I wanted to draw an OC in the VAT7K style
but I couldn’t so why not redraw them all in MY style?
