2 guys who forcibly desensitized themselves to positive emotions and love for other people despite being kind deep down in a house together. what will go wrong
some silly sketches >:PP
honestly i don't think varian or hugo have a completely normal relationship with food varian's whole thing with practically starving himself in prison, eating just enough to survive (for dad, he says. i've got to stay alive for dad but it doesn't matter if i bring myself to the verge a couple times, no) and looking completely hollow by the end of it. fighting andrew and rapunzel tooth and nail (i'm fine, he says. i'm fine, i'm full. ruddiger was begging over here) because honestly he's not even hungry anymore after barely eating for so long. but then as he gets happier and cares about himself enough to actually participate in self care, he finally starts filling out and the moment he doesn't quite fit in his old saporian clothes anymore is the happiest day he's had in a year. but sometimes when he gets nervous or upset, he forgets/"forgets" to eat something and raps has to push a plate under his door hugo, however, didn't grow up with much and he wishes he had the choice varian had, to refuse something or not. hugo had to learn to scarf even the worst of meals if he got the opportunity to, because that may he all he'll get for a day or two. donella feeds him well now, to raise him strong and healthy, but he still has that slightly malnourished look to him from being away on missions so much, from running so much. and bad habits die hard. the memories of being a starving orphan on the street never really goes away varian's picky and will cherry pick good food sometimes, both because he's genuinely a picky eater but also because he's used to not feeling like he deserves it. hugo shoves whatever in his mouth, whether it be rotton or whatever because he'll always feel like someone's trying to cheat him, or will take that meal away at any moment
green yuri and varigo mentioned!! everybody cheer
added lineart.... <3
I loved th angst of the gang finding out about Varian past crimes and all. But I can't help but laugh at the concept of Hugo sweating bullets knowing dang well he's going to betray Varian in the end and thinking "Donella wants me to betray HIM OF ALL PEOPLE?????"
It was in the moment that Hugo realizes he f-ed up
