What if, after years of explosions and poud sounds from the fireworks, Yong actually goes deaf?
And yes, I know Varian was around a ton of explosions with his science and everything but the entire point of fireworks is that they explode one way or another and since he'd be a stupid little kid when he started making them he probably wouldn't take proper safety measures, so he would slowly lose his hearing.
And let's say he didn't really notice it, for him barely being able to hear (I wanna say he's completely deaf in one ear and mostly deaf in the other) is just normal for him and while he finds it weird how Yong asks him to repeat everything or speak louder, Varian would just assume its him trying to understand it better but Hugo, that would be a different story.
Hugo gets just a tiny bit sick of having to yell for the kid to hear him, but his annoyance turns to concern when one day Yong almost gets run over when the Caravan's breaks malfunctioned and Hugo had to shove him out of the way since Yong didn't move when he screamed (Varian and Nuru were out buying food or something in this senerio) so he finally starts to actually ask proper questions and Yong just says "Yeah, I can't hear most of the time" or something like it's completely normal?!
So, after hearing all this. Hugo not only teaches Yong (and later the rest of the gang) Ingvarian sign language (since he used it with Olivia sometimes) but made Yong either hearing aids or later on cochlear implants and Yong is just completely flabbergasted at how things normally sound like for people and might get overwhelmed with the sounds so they have to help him get used to it and this could actually help him make fireworks better since he could recalibrate the explosions or something? (Idk how fireworks work) and it would just be reaaaaaaaly cute<3.
Im on FIRE with thease headcannons! Anyway, feel free to use this in a fic or fanart (tag me so I can see it) and yeah, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk folks!

Why are you so cool
Wait- I'm cool? Really?!
I meant his footsteps btw, wish you could edit reblogs
important question, does Nuru have magic?
I know in some fic’s she’s written as having magic but not usually till like near the end because she realises she can use it.
(just wondering because then I have some drawing ideas)
Working on a cute little Rapunzel sickfic that takes place within the six month timeskip in between Tangled and Before Ever After, in which Rapunzel gets sick for the very first time (cause the sundrop powers would give her like a superhuman immune system, but now that her hair is cut and her powers are very much weakened, she's able to get sick). Raps thinks she's dying, girly literally just has a cold.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
This is just making me want to write a fic abt Hugo's backstory but I gotta wait until I finish the rest of Vat7k which will be like two different fics 🥲
Random idea that's been living in my head rent free and I needed to yap about it even a little: Hugo doesn't have wanted posters. Like at all. Donella made sure to get rid of all of them because dealing with her employee/son being wanted in like a million towns and kingdoms and whatever would just be a hassle. Donella did keep at least one of them, maybe Hugo's very first since he started working for her. So if in one of the trials (maybe the iron trial) Varian finds Hugo's wanted poster in Donella's base... I really wanna figure out what would happen
I feel like Hugo's betrayal would be parallel to when Varian reveals his criminal past, but also not really? I like to think Varian would've revealed his past by himself, rather than waiting for the group to stumble across a wanted poster or smth. I also think Hugo would've figured it out a while ago, and while Nuru and Yong would be mad that he hid it for so long, they'd soon realise that he's changed his ways, and their friendship and trust would grow stronger.
When it comes to Hugo's betrayal, however, he hid it for much longer. Donella was also the one to tell everyone, not giving Hugo a chance to explain himself. Another thing is that nobody in team radical knew or could really relate, except for maybe Varian but he was too heartbroken at that point. While Varian was comforted by Hugo after his reveal, Hugo had nobody. He was stuck with Nuru and Yong, who hated him at that moment, and Varian just ran off.
I also think that for Varian, Nuru would be more upset but for Hugo, it'd be Yong.
I love this Donella design!! Is it an original design? Either way it looks amazing
DONNIE DOODLE
Donella and Cyrus as wlw and mlm solidarity
Thank you.
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
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
