I like to think he has a mix of like a million different accents. In my mind, he would've had a French or German accent as a kid, especially from the orphanage. He learned English a lot better as he grew older, but he can't read it that well. I also think Donella and Cyrus would be Russian, so their accents would rub off on Hugo a lot, and he'd also know quite a bit of Russian from them. He would mostly try to speak with a typical American accent, but whenever one of the other options slips out, team radical teases him endlessly
also he forgets English words sometimes
I 100% headcanon that Hugo used to have some sort of an accent (like French sounding or something) as a kid (because as far as I know, Ingvarr has its own language), and while travelling/doing missions for Donella and stuff, he would drop the accent and just speak with a modern day American accent.
Fast forward a few years (after Vat7k and Varian and Hugo live together), every now and then, Hugo's real accent will shine through and Varian will tease the life outta him.
"YOU WANT A BAGUETTE WITH THAT FRENCH BOY?'
"OUI OUI CROSSANT"
"did you just say 'lItTlE sNaCk'???"
also totally irrelevant, but that one video of Talya and Jorge singing "Wait For Me" from Hadestown is literally those two (Hugo being Jorge ofc)
also plz ask me questions abt Vat7k, or any other fandom i have listed really, and i'll answer!
i might doodle a request you have if i like it so yeah (i'm very busy stalking Hugo effing Rottawange so idk if i'll have time /silly)
so uh yea thx for coming to my Ted Talk
-peace out bitches <3
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
I think I'm too far gone in this fandom. If you asked me who my favourite character was back when I only knew about the movie, I'd probably say Rapunzel or Pascal. Now if you ask me the same question I'll say the eternal library.
Uh, OUCH??? I love this headcanon so much!
I really love Hugo headcannons. I also really love the idea of Hus cyborg arm/left side of body that I've talked about before. So, without further ado, I give you another terrifying and sad headcannon for Hugo. Because what character doesn't need more trauma?
So, like I said before, Donella saved Hugo from the streets when he was a kid because he got run over by a chariot. Now his whole left shoulder, arm, most of his leg and part of his hip are all cybernetic. But she can also control him. Whenever he wears (she forces him to wear) this cool mask thing that covers his nose, mouth, jaw and chin she can control him cybernetically. It's really horrible for him and he's basically stuck in his own mind. Just watching the horrors of what his body is doing play out. In the library, Varian is being possessed by Ulla and Donella is attacking Hugo. Eventually she gets the mask on Hugo and he goes all creepy serial killer on them. Ulla/Varian fights him and Ulla/Varian knocks him to the ground but is unable to get the mask off. Hugo fights against Donella's control and wins. Taking back control of his body and using his 'upgrades' to his advantage. Ulla/Varian is thrown to the wall and then attacks. Hugo is outnumbered and outmatched but then Nuru and Yong step in to help. Yada yada yada, epic battle commences. Nuru and Yong take on Ulla/Varian and Hugo, bloody bleeding and beaten, takes down Donella and collapses. With Donella gone Ulla is free and leaves the library. Varian falls to the ground but sees Hugo who's bleeding out and dying. Yong and Nuru blast their way through rubble to save Hugo. Varian helps Hugo sit up and gives him some magicky alchemical mixture. Hugo and Varian kiss. Nuru and Yong fangirl. Ta da. A horribly written story/headcannon. Hope you liked it.

I think Varian should call Hugo “Blondie” but kind of unintentionally. It just comes out. He’s so used to hearing Eugene affectionately refer to his beloved partner as Blondie, that when Varian and Hugo become close, he too begins to affectionately refer to Hugo as Blondie.
He’s not intentionally trying to copy Eugene, he doesn’t even realize what he’s doing, until he does it in front of him- and dies of embarrassment. Rapunzel thinks it’s adorable though.
And even if Eugene vehemently hates Hugo at the time, he can’t help but be a little fond of how he rubbed off on Varian.
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.
Obviously Donella and Cyrus are the two main people Hugo worked with, basically being his family, but I feel like some other soldiers would be pretty good friends with Hugo and they alongside sometimes Cyrus (though he's got a bit more of an important job than regular soldiers) would teach Hugo things Donella couldn't if she was to busy, like how to cook or sew
Not saying Donella wouldn't do this, but I can imagine her being at least a little neglectful of Hugo, and some soldiers might take pity on him
No worries, ya gotta promise to stop the dairy before I'll ask again.
Sup want a free pass to the gay river?
Yes but I'm gonna put it on hold for a bit, poor @engineer-donella is on the verge of a heart attack with all this shit you anon's are giving 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
