Counting down the days til Varigo week like it’s a national holiday 🙏
and ignoring the fact that I haven’t finished any of my things for it 😓
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
Happy birthday Varian!!! (Might be a little late whoops)
chat I'm cooking 🔥
I'll draw these at some point lmao (probably) but for now just take your best guess
I have no thoughts other than library depression now. I don't even know how a library can be depressed, but it is.
Hugo, it's not too late to ask for help when you need it.
Why the fuck does your boyfriend cut his hair so weird? It's hard to draw man!
Bit confused as tow hy you're drawing him, but @blondebitch7k actually does have a reason. He cuts his own hair. Sometimes without a mirror and then he sees it in the mirror and thinks it's cool and edgy. It's not. After meeting me, Nuru and Yong, he's decided to trust me and nuru with his hair so it's not TOO bad now. His hair when we met him... that's a whole other kind of monstrosity. I shudder thinking about jt
Gimmie your Donella headcanons pretty pls
well… only because you said pretty pls
evil lesbian time
-she has used her braid to strangle a man before. this was in front of hugo, but he was ten years old, so he was practically an adult. it’s fine.
-she used to be very protective about her lab journals, but ulla started doodling around her notes and donella gradually warmed up to it. (then they started to drift apart, and ulla began her own journal that she never let donella see, and donella was left to trace the loops of ulla’s handwriting even before ulla was gone.)
-she usually made it a policy not to hire child soldiers, but hugo was the best thief she’d ever seen. she tested him & his instincts for a while before deciding to raise him herself.
-on that note, she does love hugo in a way, but donella’s mind is very priority-organized, and hugo ranks low on that list.
-she prefers mechanical weapons to chemical ones. her dagger is her go-to in a 1v1 fight, though.
-slightly civil to quirin. slightly. a long time ago.
-very defensive, even with those she half-trusts. they have to be out to get her, otherwise, why would they be saying this?
-constant, well-hidden paranoia. she’s climbed so far but her position is so precarious.
-she was raised in a very unstable home that she left as soon as she could. either she was an orphan or she was brought up by someone who parented her like she parents hugo.
-she only got truly, unconditionally attached to someone once, and that woman disappeared for almost two decades. ulla was always going to disappear, and donella was always going to be left.
I have no thoughts other than library depression now. I don't even know how a library can be depressed, but it is.
When your fruity child tries to come out but the only new information you learn is that they are the slightest bit less fruity than you thought previously
Okay so if Donella is basically unable to use or be affected by magic in any way, then what if Ulla was the opposite? I always found it weird how Donella was the one to trap Ulla in the library, cause like. when would she have the time to trap her. she's gathering her troops, so she's a bit busy.
SO, to fix this, I decided that as a side affect of keeping Donella out and away, Ulla begun to rely on magic to continue living. She's technically half-alive though. She doesn't have a complete physical form, so she often appears see-through and its really disturbing.
The way she learns she can possess things is when she's reading a book and she's not able to focus, so she thinks if she possesses it, shell just absorb all the knowledge. It works, but it makes her feel incredibly sick (not like she can feel sick anymore), and she didn't learn a thing about the book. So when she possesses Varian, she can't access his thoughts or anything.
She kinda destroyed/shut down the portal after throwing Donella out, but she knows that she's practically bound to the library, so if the library was ever unlocked again, she knew that if she left, she'd just disintegrate. Possessing Varian would probably be easier than possessing anyone else, because another of my HCs (that I may have stole from VTT) is that Var has a slight connection to the moonstone, and it's easier to possess magical things if you are magic. The same does not apply with proper ghosts, as seen in s1 with Ruth.
The library would also stop working properly for Ulla, mainly because it didn't like her, but also because she was living off of too much unstable magic, making the whole library unstable. Really putting into perspective how powerful Ulla is.
Hopefully I solved another plot hole, also I may be biased bc I really love Donella and really hate Ulla :/
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.
