Hugo, For Being Super Complex And Interesting And Overall Sick As Heck

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

REBLOG IF YOU ARE HELLA BORED AND WOULDN’T MIND SOME CURIOUS ANONS.

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

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

when I learn to animate, I'm so doing this! Though maybe I'll change some things to fit with my version of Vat7k.

Something something, Scylla from Epic song- Having to do with Hugo and Varian and betrayal. Varian like has this huge prejudice against Hugo throughout the whole thing, having to do with a lot of things- Hugo just betrayed their group and V and him had this huge argument where they're on terrible terms atp. Hugo fought back in this argument mostly bc he just wanted to V to see where he was coming from and how much he didn't want it to happen. Varian's beyond heartbroken rn, just shattered and numb that he trusted someone to just have it broken again. It's kinda like The Great Tree incident with Raps and Cassandra on terms of strained but make it 80 times worse. So like they're in front of this giant library type building in my mind right- but like- huge- its HUGE and the doors are very very much locked and this is where the song starts- The lair of Scylla This is our only way home

Deep down

Hugo: "You're quiet today"

Deep down

Varian: "Not much to say"

Deep down

Ulla voice:You hide a reason for shame

H: I've got a secret I can no longer keep

Deep down

Ulla voice:You know that we are the same ( in this context she's like, hiding. )

H: I opened the wind bag while you were asleep

^ ( basically, Hugo admits to at one point having an opportunity to leave Donella, but in return he gets completely disowned, and Hugo didn't want to lose her. He didn't want to choose, but he obviously looked up to Donella like a parent figure. Since she's all he had)

Ulla voice: Leaving them feeling betrayed

Breaking the bonds that you've made

H:I'm so sorry

There is no price we won't pay

H: Forgive me

We both know what it takes to survive

Full speed ahead, full speed, full speed ahead Full speed ahead

Deep down

We only care for ourselves

Varian: Eurylochus, light up six torches

^ ( basically, he's just ignoring Hugo like Ody did originally )

Deep down, we're lonely demons from hell

( Ehe, so they use the staff to go inside the library. Its dark and the only light is these blue flaming torches on the walls. Very spooky lighting. )

Hugo: Captain, something approaches

^ ( they hear some shuffling, and Hugo's like "wtf was that-"

( Ulla, showing herself slowly in her weird ghost-like form, not in a pretty way. She's terrifying. )

^

Hello

(The gang stands there for a minute, Varian, not even recognizing his mom yet, just tells them to run )

... Run for your lives!

Ulla, attacking them: Drown in your sorrow and fears!

Choke on your blood and your tears!

Bleed 'til you've run out of years!

We. must. do. what. it. takes. to. survive!

Give up your honor and faith!

Live up your life as a wraith!

Die in the blood where you bathe

We must do what it takes to survive!

( Ulla, and then like- Hugo and V, mentally- )

^ We are the same, you and I, I

End

Hugo violinist stans: imagine for a long time the group knows he plays, sees him with it but he never plays for them. Then he starts trusting them and he wants to tell him all of the things he feels about what's going on with Donnie and his life with her and how he feels about all of them but there are no words. So instead, he plays this:

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 😓

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.

I just read this it was absolutely amazing

never underestimate the power of positive feedback on an ao3 author.
