I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT

Like me personally I think we should allow Nuru to be fragile every once in a while because she’s literally just a girl. Not in the barely-disguised-misogyny way but in the was that she’s LITERALLY just a girl, she’s like sixteen, she’s a child, and she already spent her entire life cosplaying Atlas and having to be strong for her people, allowing her her emotions is not a terrible awful crime and it does not make her any less capable. If Varian and Hugo can be allowed their emotional complexities and hundreds of thousands of breakdowns and still be capable and ass-kicking then guess what, so does Nuru

Okay but what if right after Hugo tells Donella he's leaving her team/gang, Donella takes Olivia and breaks her so Hugo can know what it's going to feel like when he ends up losing the people he loves, aka team radical

Just told Varian

Fav colour that isn't green? Also have some gay water bitch

I mean, I like dark browns and blacks I guess... blue for obvious reasons, but green still owns my heart

Blonde Green Bitch out!!! ✨️🏳️‍🌈💅

Hc that Nuru just has sparkles following her around everywhere she walks. Like nobody can explain it she just does.

You did the right thing, Hugo. Also I'm selling the gay river anyways, so consider this the end of a plot arc or smth

If you don't stop eating ice cream, I'm taking Olivia on a trip to the gay river, which is on the other side of the world :D

*covers my child with my hands* KEEP YOUR GRUBBY ANON HANDS THE FUCK OFF MY DAUGHTER!!!! THAT IS ONE PLACE I WILL NOT GO!!!

Thats it, it's all gone. In the trash and burned to ashes, nothing comes before Olivia

Not That Girl from Wicked is another Hugo coded song trust

Hugo saying “he could be that boy but I’m not that girl” because he knows Varian deserves love but Hugo doesn’t. He knows he’s not worthy of Varian’s soft smiles and gentle touches because he’s so fucked up and just can’t be that person for him no matter how much he wishes he could be

And “there’s a girl I know, he loves her so, but I’m not that girl” is Hugo thinking Varian doesn’t love him, but the carefully curated version of himself he’s put together for the sake of the mission (not knowing that Varian sees past all that bs and that he does in fact have feelings for the real Hugo)

He’s so angsty bro I love him ☹️🙏

What if Donella wasn't just cursed to never enter the library, but she was cursed to never be able to use/work with magic again? Whenever one of her soldiers retrieved an enchanted item for her, it always worked for them but never for Donella. That's part of why she needed Hugo to be the one to go on the trials. Of course it's because he's smart, but it's also because he's an artificer, and enchantments and whatnot are kinda his whole thing. She could send her entire army into the library on her behalf, but none of them would know where to go from there. Hugo would.

Also, I like to think that Hugo often helped Donella when combining said magic objects into her weapons. Donella and some of her workers would make the weapon, but Hugo would add the item and make sure it's in perfect condition for their clients. Mainly I just need some mother/child bonding. Like Donella eventually letting Hugo work almost alongside her, and Donella teaching young Hugo more advanced things about engineering (though Hugo would just use this knowledge to upgrade Olivia, but don't tell Don that!)

Just give her bread, Hugo.

What's your weirdest comfort food and you're nerdy son's weirdest comfor food?

My comfort food is not a food, but a whole bottle of red wine. Whenever I’m feeling down, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet are my best friends in the whole world.

Hugo used to always ask for a piece of bread when he was sad. Not even buttered, sometimes he preferred it a bit stale as well. No idea why.

I have no thoughts other than library depression now. I don't even know how a library can be depressed, but it is.

I still REALLY need to read it (I'll get around to it eventually)

okay guys i’m gonna read the silent opera
