Shoutout To Stanford Pines For A Couple Of Things, But Mainly For Writing In Flawless Cursive While Enduring

TELL ME EVERY TTS/VAT7K HEADCANON YOU HAVE

PLEASE NO I HAVE A FAMILY

why did i subject myself to this. i’m still gonna do it, though. (these aren’t fully dedicated to any one character, so y’all can still ask about them! just thinking of the overall shows)

-varian got down on one knee to propose to hugo. hugo laughed and said “ha, you’re even shorter now.” there was a moment of absolute silence before hugo realized what was going on. varian started to stand up. hugo frantically begged him to wait and start over.

-cassandra and eugene occasionally called off their rivalry for cass to teach eugene to play chess. cass had realized he didn’t know how (orphan, poor, thief) and said that a future king obviously had to learn. cue surprisingly cute, very gruff training.

-varian is terrified of maximus. maximus can smell the criminal on him. varian has had to hide in a tree from that horse several times.

-there was a point in hugo’s life, after vat7k, where it finally dawned on him that he was safe and happy. varian held him as he cried with too many emotions he couldn’t describe.

-hugo absolutely despises frederic and arianna. he performs elaborate, heist-like pranks on them for varian’s sake. they don’t know it’s him. they’re losing their minds.

-for a long time after his redemption, varian didn’t see anything wrong in his relationship with andrew. he just thought “well, he’s standing in for my dad.” and then he did consciously realize “he’s evil”, but he didn’t actually unpack everything that went on. i don’t think andrew did anything to him, but i think he was extremely creepy, and there’s still something so horrible about a man in a confined space with a boy who was 13 only a year ago.

-upon the separatists of saporia breaking out, andrew made sure to keep varian busy in the castle so he didn’t realize that the citizens of corona were enslaved.

-varian’s truth cookies made pete and stan confess their love.

-nuru is afraid of ruddiger at first (not a lot of wildlife in a meteor-ravaged kingdom). she finally gets over that fear just in time for varian to have to turn ruddiger into beast-ruddiger for some reason. nuru is even more emotionally scarred.

-“plus est en vous” goes differently in my mind. in my ideal reality. in my headcanon. i don’t know exactly what happened, but i do know varian, lance, and eugene play MUCH bigger roles.

-hugo is an emotional drunk. varian is a stupid drunk (while inebriated, he once invented a ship, which had already been invented at the time. ((by “ship”, i mean boat.))) rapunzel is also an emotional drunk. cass is the death-wish kind of drunk that would deliberately try to get run over by a carriage. eugene can keep an objective in mind when he drinks, like getting information out of somebody, but he will also get distracted by a really pretty swirl of wood on the table. lance is a philosophical drunk.

-the whole team, from both shows, hums their big songs to themselves when they’re bored. those things may spring out of their innermost psyches and display themselves in fits of passion, but damn if they aren’t catchy.

-angry once won an arm-wrestling match against lance. no one knows how it happened. lance swears she hypnotized him.

-eugene lets rapunzel paint on him, and she comes to him for fashion advice.

THAT’S ALL I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW AND THEY AREN’T EVEN CHARACTER-SPECIFIC SO OH BOY I GUESS I HAVE MORE

I think they could be friends….

I can be shaped by more than the things that hurt me

What are some of your favorite Hugo headcanons because I love seeing what people think of him

AH IT’S HAPPENING

-i love robotic arm hugo. i think it’s an absolutely fantastic concept. however, if that were the case, he’d either have to have lost his arm or been born without it. either way, i imagine donella had to do surgery both on his shoulder and his brain to attach it, which gives him phantom pains. varian’s noticed that hugo tends to use his human arm for things, but he didn’t put it together until he grabbed hugo’s metal wrist a bit too hard and saw him wince.

-he’s insecure about his singing voice and usually sings out of key to tick people off, but when he actually tries to sing— be it to calm someone down, or serenade varian— it sounds incredible.

-he has worn a dress to smuggle stolen objects in, multiple times. that made him begin to feel introspective before he Noped himself right out of that spiral. (i think he’s genderfluid/genderqueer, but he’s usually okay with being called he/him when he knows it’s someone who would adjust the term if asked.)

-he does Not like bugs. bugs of any kind. even butterflies are pushing it.

-the absolute biggest sap, but all on the inside. varian loves in feelings and gestures, and he does great with words of affirmation, but hugo’s mind is like a poetry mill that never stops. if anyone was able to tell what yearning, dramatic thoughts he was thinking, they would never let him hear the end of it.

-he had a celebrity crush on the alchemist of old corona. and eight different conspiracy theories. this is a pretty common hc but i love it.

-attracted to varian’s “villain voice”. nuru judges him so hard for that.

-a huge love language of his is physical touch, but he’s trained himself out of it. fast forward a few years after the events of vat7k, and you will see hugo glomping onto his chosen people.

-horrible at art. he can draw blueprints and schematics, but he cannot draw people. he’s only managed to draw his robot mouse by thinking of her as various mechanical parts. he tried to draw himself once at eight and once at nineteen and both drawings look the same.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ASK 😭 NEVER HESITATE TO SEND THEM

reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material

I'm sorry but imagine being in the book accurate httyd universe. You and everyone else are experiencing terrible awful horrors and are on the verge of collapse and an entire war and. Everyone just has a stupid name. Armpit never came back from trying to catch a baby dragon and probably got violently torn apart and eaten alive. Dogsballs is shaking after he just witnessed two of his friends get driven off of the cliff they were forced to camp on after their tribe got burnt to the ground to escape slavery. Your friend Crying Bitchless the Gay had to watch his entire family get enslaved and his dragon companion, knowing if he tried to stop it he'll surely die or worse, go with them. Anklebiter Ass-smeller just had to rip twenty people and dragons to shreds with his bare hands to survive at the age of fifteen. You could be named Doodoo Bitch the Brainless and the guy who literally caused the violent deaths of everyone you loved and took away all that made up you could be named like. The Butthole Bruiser

What you need to understand is that young Ford Pines is joyous and whimsical and also fueled by spite and one million cups of coffee

Your brother is SIXER??

go on

Do you guys think that Hugo is actually blonde but light blonde is just not his natural shade? That he made his hair lighter to— …Nevermind.

I'm back again after like no time at all anyways Rapunzel hcs?

rapunzel <3

-will cry if she sees a tiny and cute enough baby animal. will cry hard enough to worry eugene.

-sometimes has a sleepover in eugene’s room when she has a nightmare (this was before eugene proposed & during the time when frederic would have been extremely against this.) she used to send pascal to eugene, who would sneak into her room, but then rapunzel realized how much worse it’d be for him if he got caught, so now she goes to his. even after they’re married, they have their own rooms, because they like having their space, but they both end up sleeping in one bed, most nights.

-gets yellow-painted tattoos later on. sunflowers and swirls on her shoulders.

-upon seeing quirin in the amber, her mind flashed to gothel’s death, and she felt responsible.

-has picked eugene up before and will do so again at the slightest excuse. they both love it.

-felt guilty for befriending stalyan after eugene filled her in on some details of his & stalyan’s past.

-once she & varian are on more comfortable ground, she makes a point to teasingly annoy him sometimes. he usually ends up pranking her in return. one time, he put salt, instead of sugar, in a cupcake he gave her, and rapunzel proclaimed that that was the worst thing he’d ever done. they both stared at each other for a second before cackling at themselves. (well, varian did a bit more cackling, while rapunzel had a regular sane laugh.)

-spars with cass & the brotherhood sometimes. she doesn’t want to hurt them, but once she gets in the self-defense zone, she can hold her ground very well.

-automatically tries to heal people who’ve gotten hurt somehow and has to work to calm herself when she can’t.

-the ride to the castle to meet her parents for the first time was awful. rapunzel was in shock and kept crying as she continuously realized that gothel was gone, and she almost couldn’t let go of eugene because he’d died right in front of her.

-still has a hard time believing that things can be okay even if everyone isn’t perfectly happy.

-struggles with disassociation and uses painting to ground herself.

-hates lettuce. specifically rapunzel lettuce. i think i’m funny.

-was the officiator at stan and pete’s wedding. was crying so hard with joy that she could barely get the words out. she thinks weddings are the most beautiful thing on earth when nobody is suffering from spider venom or being forced into a marriage.

-has scared several members of nobility, and scares pretty much everyone, when she gets angry. (this is practically canon.)
