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 ☹️🙏
I think early on in vat7k, Hugo, Var and Yong would have to go through the forest of no return in order to get to Nuru's kingdom. At the end of the series, they'd all kinda go on a mini road trip to say goodbye to everyone properly, and they'd drop off Yong first, meaning that Hugo, Var and Nuru would have to go back through the forest of no return. Nuru would've never been so I can imagine her just getting so frustrated she'd kick a tree and it'd unlock a secret path or something
Omg yes, I also literally posted this bc this is gonna be a chapter in my fic I'm working on
Team radical goes to the spire and meets Calliope and it's just a contest to see who can out "uhm actually" the other
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
Hate A*drew so much I'm not even adding him in my fic except for one scene in Ingvarr where it's mentioned he's rotting away in a cell.
At this point the only reason I want vat7k to happen is so Varian can beat the shit out of Andrew.
Why am I considering implying this in my fic
you could never let me be in charge of creating vat7k because i'd have 100 gecs playing with a montage of the gang spying on hugo in an underground strip club (varian got suspicious of why hugo disappears for days at a time and of course this is the one time hugo isn't in cahoots with donnie) (hugo's actively stealing jewelry off of people while getting laid) (varian never asked where hugo went during his free time again but he thinks about it every single day)
Omg literally and like Calliope would say something about space that was clearly incorrect and it would make Nuru want to rip her hair out

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.
So if the eternal library is supposed to be this place with all the knowledge and inventions from every country, every planet, every universe- then what if team radical is exploring it and comes across some super modern car or something and are just like "is it alive?" And then poke it with a stick
Never thought I'd see a core childhood memory being mentioned in my hyperfixation

I think I need sleep I almost called Eugene "Flynn" like not even five minutes ago and I'm genuinely mad at myself for it
