Oh the fear of losing something you already lost
boy of sorrows
emotional support coworker
Vat7k au where everything is pretty much the same except for the fact that Yong can break the fourth wall and uses this ability to fuck with both us and the rest of the team. The kid has near death experiences on a daily basis thanks to his fireworks and he's still completely fine. He thought he had this sick plot armor cuz he was the prostagonist...at least until he met Varian and realized his ability to see God and laugh at his face didn't come with the role of main character
Okay, but what if Nuru learned to read body language and micro expressions to become a better queen for her kingdom and make it easier for her to deal with the politician's of the others? It would make sense why she never trusted Hugo to begin with since she can see he's lying and it wouldn't take her too long to understand his real motive once she gets the whole story from Varian or Yong. She could read Hugo like an open book and I just know Hugo would get so damn frustrated to meet someone he can't trick, not to talk about how he would react when Nuru will learn about his little crush for Varian. She would be his nightmare until the betrayal, when Varian will think that everything was just a cruel joke on him and Nuru will be the only one to know that Hugo is telling the truth when he says he didn't want things to end that way
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
A Treasure Plant AU Ive been working on!
In this AU, Varian finds his mother’s map after their home is ransacked. Eugene and Lance take on the role of Dr Doppler and accompany Varian to protect him. They board Captain Rapunzel’s ship and meet her Navigation Officer Nuru. Here Donella is the ship’s Surgeon and Hugo the recently promoted Cook.
Now Varian is taking his place as cabin boy, Hugo is annoyed and frustrated as he is left out of Donella’s Plans to show Varian the ropes and keep him from learning any of their secrets.
Adding on to my recent posting, I want to say this: If you do not accept moments in which belos is genuine, you fundamentally miss what makes him terrifying.
Belos loved his brother very dearly. The only times we have ever seen him genuinely happy were when caleb was still in his life, he keeps his old coat in pristine condition, uses his art to decorate and symbolize his glorious empire, some could say he idolizes the human realm so much because that's when caleb was still around, still loving him. Belos's love for Caleb is in everything he does.
Which is terrifying when you think about Belos's crimes, and one by one, they all lead back to love. Trying to kill everyone on the boiling Isles-it's all because Caleb married a wild witch and left Belos all alone. Hunter's existence and the genuine love he has towards him? It's love more like a worshiper at an idol's feet- belos worships hunter more than hunter does him, tries to lock him in his mind forever so he never leaves him after Hunter finds out the truth, refuses to kill hunter only because he needs Caleb to come home with him no matter what. He recreates his brother over and over and it hurts him every time but he kills him because they need to love him the most.
In kings tide, he offers Luz mercy. Belos empathizes with her, away from home, a symbol of who he still thinks he is, painfully nostalgic for the past. But why does he love the human realm so much? Why does he miss the past?
Because that's when Caleb was his.
The idea that Belos is a "narcissist who can't love anyone" is, first of all, kind of abelist to real people with NPD, secondly, patently untrue, everything he does is because of love, and thirdly, missing the point of why Belos is disturbing. Because he thinks doing these things in the name of love is just. It exhonerates him in his mind, that him loving his brother to death means all of this means something, when really Belos is at a point where his love for Caleb is more of a religion than the one he's performing.
Belos is supposed to be loving and warm. That's how he lures in his prey, convinces Hunter to devote his life to him, how he wins over an island of people he wants to kill. He loves, and it's real as rain, but his love is like cancer. It kills everything in you but itself.
Just thinking about Varian inheriting his evil laugh and psychotic expressions from his mother and giving both Quirin and Donnie some fucked up flashbacks about Ulla
green yuri and varigo mentioned!! everybody cheer
