I Love To Imagine That Since Yong Reminds Varian So Much Of His Younger Self, He Pours So Much Care And

Low-key feel like Var and Hugo should be swapped in this one

do you and Varian have Starbucks/coffee orders?

I honestly dont really like Starbucks, since i drink my coffee black and bitter (like the Gods intended) and their roasts really suck and cost a bajjillion friggen dollars, @goggles-varian on the other hand? Oh boy.

His coffee order is a monstrosity of sugar. It's some wired mocha cookie crumble latte chino frappé with a billion other things that I apparently always order wrong (even though its not my fault hes practically inventing a new element with that shit) that I just call "diabetes in a cup" and the one time he gave me a sip, I recoiled and it took me hours to get the taste outta my mouth.

I prefer my coffee to be made at home (and when we do that, Hairstipe just mades creamer and sugar with a side of coffee) so yeah.

Blonde bitch out! ✨️🏳️‍🌈💅

Animators needed for Vat7k!!!!

So for those who dont already now, I and some other fans are worling on TheFan'sVat7k project to try and make the show Disney refused to give us but better, and as the title suggests, we're on the lookout for some animators!

There isnt really any criteria (other than knowing how to animate, duh) and youd be helping us animate the show itself as well as some promotional animatics for the show<3

If anyone's interested you can dm me, @theshadowyalchemist (the prjects amazing director <3) @briggle (our also amazing writing director) or @ognicho (the also also amazing music director) for deatils and link to the projects discord server!

Putting this in my fic now thank you

Vat7k au where everything is pretty much the same except for the fact that Yong can break the fourth wall and uses this ability to fuck with both us and the rest of the team. The kid has near death experiences on a daily basis thanks to his fireworks and he's still completely fine. He thought he had this sick plot armor cuz he was the prostagonist...at least until he met Varian and realized his ability to see God and laugh at his face didn't come with the role of main character

I just read this it was absolutely amazing

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

fanfic complete

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

Redrawing last year's sketch ★

I'd need to write it down since right now it's just a bunch of ideas floating around my head, but I love the idea of Varian finding out about Hugo at some point before the finale, and giving him a second chance. Then the finale happens, Donella says some things, and it looks like Hugo broke his promise and wasn't deserving of Varian's second chance. That would be why Varian would be upset, in my eyes. This plot hole has been bugging me for so long, you're onto something

I personally hate vat7k fics or posts that have Varian being all angsty and crying over Hugo double crossing them. One, because Varian isn’t one to cry easily, he wouldn’t cry over Hugo, and two, because Varian knows all too well that circumstances can lead people to do bad things and he quite literally comes from the kingdom of second chances. He’s a reformed criminal, his brother figure/hero is a reformed criminal, all his friends are reformed criminals, he knows the power that second chances can hold. Everyone who is a bad person has the potential and capacity to still do good and be good, he himself is a country bumpkin turned terrorist turned shadow ruler turned royal engineer.

And I’ve never seen a fic where Hugo promises he’s good only to break a promise he made, (mostly because Varian would outright deck him for seemingly no reason and tell him to not make promises) and Varian is frankly too smart to have never considered the possibility of Hugo having alternative motives (the guy steals a totem then comes back wanting to be friends??? It doesn’t make sense; obviously Varian would theorize).

Don’t get me wrong, Varian would be absolutely pissed at first and would probably storm into the eternal library out of spite. It just wouldn’t be in a “I’m crying and need to escape this situation” kind of way. More in a “I’m so pissed and I’m so stupid I need to cool off and come back to this later” kind of way. Although he doesn’t get to come back for a while after…

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

vat7k fandom will you accept me

Even when Rapunzel figured everything out, Gothel is still using her usual manipulations.

"Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?"

Undermining Rapunzel and going in for a hug to show she still 'loves' her despite her stupid question.

But Rapunzel pushes her away, accusing her of everything. Gothel deflects, still playing the 'loving protective mother' role.

"Everything I did was to protect you."

But Rapunzel finally sees through her mask, and can't believe that Gothel's still trying to feed her the same bullshit she's given her for 18 years in order to control her. And she pushes her away again. She's done listening.

And it's here Gothel realizes she can't manipulate Rapunzel with her usual tactics anymore. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have another weapon up her sleeve.

"He won't be there for you."

So she brings up Eugene.

"What did you do to him?"

This time she doesn't bother denying that she's behind everything. But that's not the point. She brought up Eugene because she knows Rapunzel is going to ask about him. Then Gothel goes for the jugular.

"That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes."

She tells Rapunzel of Eugene's fate, and Gothel knows the news will devastate her. She thinks this is where she gets her control back. Eugene 'leaving' made Rapunzel run back to Gothel, and thinks his death will keep her in her grasp for good.

But even then that doesn't work either.

This is where Rapunzel completely breaks away from her. Only when Rapunzel denies Gothel her hair, her eternal youth, that Gothel finally puts down her mask. She doesn't need it anymore. She has another forceful way of controlling Rapunzel anyway.

("You say I'm the bad guy? So be it.")

(edit because i posted this in such a hurry and i still have more notes for this scene)

Just as Rapunzel sees the real Gothel, Gothel in turn finally sees the real Rapunzel. She's taken aback at her strength (i mean she knows Rapunzel pulls her entire weight up the tower several times a day but this is where she finally gets how strong she is as she tries to break free)

For years Gothel has a tight grip on her, now she is in Rapunzel's. The power dynamic has shifted, and Rapunzel uses this to tell Gothel straight to her face that she can't control her anymore. And Gothel sees this tiny girl finally stand up against her and sees what she's really capable of.

And bitch is terrified.
