So APERENTLY this isn't a "popular" headcannon (which left me feeling hella bamboozled) so @uhjamszone, here's your promised essay (took more than ten minutes but wtv, sry lol)
SoOoOoOoOo, Hugo grew up on the streets where food was scarce and what people like him could get was usually from the dumpster or worse. So Hugo grows up not being picky, eating whatever whenever just to survive, but he still tries to make it decent (he tried to sleep in the back allys of restaurants and stealing from markets in the summer and stuff) so he learns to try different food combinations.
Then, when he gets taken in by Donella, since she is not only a badass crime boss but the Royal Engineer (#queen) he has access to real food now (he'd still have rations like all of Donnie's lackeys but it's still wayyyyyyyy better than before) and since he'd have to travel a lot for missions, he'd get pretty good at actual cooking (and he'd hide a little travel skillet in his room so he could cook) and since he has such a strong stomach from years of such shitty food, his dumpster-fire first tries don't phase him so he can just keep getting better at his craft.
On the trials, Nuru or Varian are usually the ones to make meals (neither of them trust Hugo not to do something stupid and prank their food) but all they can make is shit like ham sandwiches and baked potatoes and eggs on a good day or something all the time (Hugo dosnt love it but he dosnt care, food is food) but then, one day when they're out getting supplies or stm Yong is super hungry and asked Hugo to make something with him and Hugo just casually whips up the best meal they've had the entire journey so far and he's in charge of cooking from now on!
(Quick intermission to say that Olivia is his little chef just lime Remy. Yes she has her own little chefs hat. Yes she runs around grabbing all the spices and ingredients and stuff. Yes she does go up and pull on Hugo's hair and it dosnt do anything but piss her off. Annnnnnnnnnd Yes she does act all bossy and insist her idea is better despite not having a sense of smell or taste because she is a robot <3)
But later on, post-betrayl when he moves in with Varian at the castle and stuff. He gets super overwhelmed, he hates it there, he hates himself for hating it there, he dosnt deserve this, he dosnt belong. He dosnt know how to use all this fancy silverware and weird food that's super small and fancy and one of the things he lived most is turning against him, so he ends up skipping a lot of dinners. Varian gets concerned but he's sees how Hugo will eat his basic sandwiches and stuff, so they end up having a lot of cooking dates and skipping the fancy dinners in favor of Mac & Cheese in the library. And, another hc is that he ends up becoming good friends with Lance as they cook together (I hc he's a good cook too<3) and Lance teaches him how to make those fancy royal foods and Hugo ends up making them WAY better.
So, to wrap things up. He likes cooking, it's one of his love languages, he can pick up on new recapies pretty quickly but prefers to just wing it, despite being a great cook he's a shitty baker so dessert is always Varians job and feel free to add to this.
I'VE DONE MY PART, MAKE THIS A PIPULAR HEDCANNON NOW PLS!!!!

Okay so I know he's out Vat7k exclusive but he is in team radical so what are your Varian headcanons??
YAYYY VARIAN MY BELOVED
Used to love when it snowed because it meant he got to go sledding with his dad, but then he developed an intense fear/hatred of snow because of the events during queen for a day
First reaction was to not trust Nuru because of how much she reminds him of Rapunzel. Even though the two of them had mostly mended things at that point, there was still a part of him deep down that blamed Raps and expected Nuru to betray the rest of the team for her kingdom
Had to put up a sign declaring his lab an “anti-Eugene” zone due to how often Eugene just barges in without warning. When it didn’t work, Varian changed it to say “Anti-Horace” just to piss him off
Keira and Catalina were his first friends that were actually around his age
Calls Hugo “pretty boy” as an insult (backfires cuz Hugo thinks they’re flirting)
Thrives in warm/hot weather but the moment the temperature drops, Varian refuses to go outside and wears thick clothing until it’s spring/summer again
He’s a snob about produce due to his dad being a farmer, and it’s a nightmare to go food shopping with him. What’s supposed to take an hour at most turns into an entire afternoon wasted at the market because the tomatoes are too soft or the apples aren’t the right color or the celery doesn’t snap right. Hugo, who grew up eating whatever he could get his hands on, has to physically restrain himself from strangling Varian
He had freckles everywhere
Exchanges letters with Rapunzel throughout his journey as a way of mending their relationship further (they both still feel super guilty about everything that happened and blame themselves) so no matter how far Varian travels, he’ll always have someone from home to guide him
Doodles Team Radical in the margins of his journal when he’s bored (caught himself making a very detailed sketch of Hugo’s face and was shamed of himself for days)
Inconsistent sleep schedule due to nightmares, which often leads to him sitting outside by thr campfire late at night. Because of this, he and Hugo are alone together a lot of the time because Hugo is usually the last of the team to go to bed
Insane sweet tooth, genuinely can’t get through the day without consuming something sweet
First to see Hugo with his hair down and was a flustered mess about it for hours after
Hugo was the first one he told about his past as the Alchemist
Has the Saporian emblem on his body somewhere (either tattooed or branded idk) because everyone in that group has it as a way to pledge their loyalty
Slight country accent that surfaces only when he’s really fired up (you can pry this hc from my cold dead hands cuz I think it’s so funny that he becomes a cowboy when he’s angry)
“Accidentally” leaves too traps in the castle halls where he knows Nigel and/or Frederick will be walking
Forgets to eat all the time. People will remind him, but he’ll just wave it off and forget until someone shoves a ham sandwich in his face and threatens to reorganize his beaker drawer
Despises coffee and makes fun of Eugene for drinking an “old man” drink, but he will drink it if he’s pulling an all nighter and is desperate for something to keep him awake
Realized he was bisexual at some point during the journey. I feel like he wouldn’t care about romance after becoming royal engineer and getting over his crush on Cassandra, so it wouldn’t really occur to him that he likes both guys and girls until he’s on the road with too much time to think
Tries to emulate his dad when taking charge of the group cuz even away from home, he looks up to his dad
Wrist scars from the handcuffs during his prison era, whether they’re prominent or barely visible
Left-handed. Why? I dunno, it just makes sense to me
Hot chocolate snob. He’ll drink almost all kinds of hot chocolate, but he has a preference for the high quality stuff they keep in the castle and can tell the difference between different kinds (judges people who make it with water instead of milk)
When he’s in a particularly sour mood, he’ll shut off all the hot water in Corona just to be petty (usually does it when Frederick pisses him off)
Yong called him his brother once and he didn’t stop crying for an hour
Makes fun of Hugo for not knowing how to swim until Varian has to save him from drowning in the water trial
Gets offended when people call Ruddiger fat or say he’s overweight (he’s basically a bowling ball that waddles around the castle but Varian isn’t ready for that conversation yet)
Refuses to let people take care of him when he’s sick because they “have better things to do”
Hugo is the only one he will voluntarily share a lab space with. Anyone else and he’d sooner throw himself out a window
I have so much more but this is definitely long enough jansosiwbsoishwnsksoaisj I love him
Thank you for the ask <333
Loves the Care Bears – He finds their messages of kindness and understanding incredibly comforting. He has a little plush of Tenderheart Bear that he keeps hidden in his room.
Favorite Instrument – The trumpet and French horn. Playing it helps calm his nerves when he’s feeling overwhelmed. But he also loves the violin—it’s expressive and emotional, like him.
Favorite Songs – He’s a sucker for old love ballads. Songs like Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley) or Unchained Melody (The Righteous Brothers) make him feel warm inside. He also secretly loves lullabies.
Favorite Animal – Lambs. He feels a connection to them, probably because of his own nature (and the horns). He always stops to pet any he finds in Heaven’s pastures.
(Milk) Tea Over Coffee – He doesn’t like the bitterness of coffee, but he loves milk teas.
Writes Letters – He has a habit of writing letters he never sends. Letters to Adam, Lucifer, and even Cain. Sometimes, just putting his feelings into words helps.
Loves Star-Gazing – The night sky has always fascinated him, and he often sneaks away to quiet places in Heaven just to watch the stars. It makes him feel small in a good way.
Enjoys Handcrafts – He likes embroidery and weaving. Creating things with his hands makes him feel grounded, and he often gives his finished pieces as gifts.
Favorite Flower – Forget-me-nots because… well, he’s afraid of being forgotten.
Soft Sleeper – He curls up when he sleeps, hugging a pillow or blanket close. He doesn’t like feeling exposed or alone when he rests.
Favorite Color – Soft golds and creams. They make him feel safe and remind him of warmth, like the morning sun.
Sings to Himself – When he’s alone, he hums or softly sings old hymns or lullabies. It’s a habit from childhood he never outgrew.
Loves Gentle Rain – The sound of rain is incredibly soothing to him, and he loves the fresh, clean smell afterward. If he could, he’d stand outside and let it wash over him.
Terrible at Lying – His face gives him away immediately, no matter how hard he tries. His emotions are always written all over him.
Abel needs your support! 🥰💛⭐

Chapter 1 "Without You"
Crowley's apartment in London was *the worst* place on earth at night. A lot of *a lot of drugs*, alcohol, cigarettes and hookah. *He was having fun to the fullest*, one could have thought, but no. Crowley was bad, insanely bad. His sweet, sunny, dear angel left him for the sake of heaven. The snake could survive everything from Aziraphel, after their kiss: a blow, screams, swearing, perhaps an angel would not let him get to the threshold for the next two centuries. All, *but not this*. He exchanged the redhead for heaven, went with Metatron. For God's sake...satans...and anyone! He's an idiot! - with such thoughts the fallen one drank another bottle. Crowley stopped taking care of himself a long time ago and hadn't washed for almost four months, and there was no question of anything else. His hair has grown to an incredible length - almost 2 meters! The demon drowned his pain in alcohol and substances, falling into a terrible addiction. But before, he felt a kind of pity for such people...
The plants in the apartment have long since dried up and the leaves, once the greenest in London, and now yellowish-brown, lay near the pots. The corners are covered with cobwes and are teeming with all kinds of creatures. The blackness of the walls and furniture in the apartment put pressure on the psyche, like a hydraulic press on a can of cola. Mona Lisa's sketch, hanging in front of the hidden safe, seemed to be looking at Crowley with a mockery. It seemed that everything on this planet , in the Milky Way, was amused by the demon.
Unfortunately (and the horror of subsequent events), and Crowley's so heavily overloaded psyche could not stand it...

Глава 1 "Без тебя"
Квартирка Кроули в Лондоне , ночью была *худшим* местом на земле. Много *очень много наркотиков*, алкоголь, курево от сигарет и кальяна. *Он отрывался по полной*, можно было подумать, но нет. Кроули было плохо, безумно плохо. Его милый, солнечный, дорогой ангел бросил его, ради небес. Змий мог пережить все от Азирафеля, после их поцелуя: удара, криков, ругани, возможно ангел не подпускал бы его к порогу ближайшие два столетия. Все, *но не это*. Он променял рыжеволосого на небеса, пошёл с Метатроном. Ради Бога…сатаны…да кого угодно! Он идиот!- с такими мыслями падший выпивал очередную бутылку. Кроули давно перестал следить за собой и почти четыре месяца как не мылся, а о другом уж и не было речи. Его волосы отросли до невероятной длины- почти 2 метра! Демон топил свою боль в алкоголе и веществах, попав в страшную зависимость. А ведь раньше, он испытывал некое подобие жалости к таким людям...
Растения в квартире уже давно засохли и листья, когда-то самые зелёные в Лондоне, а теперь желтовато-коричневые, лежали около горшков. Углы покрылись паутиной, и кишат всякой живностью. Чернота стен и мебели в квартире давила на психику, как гидравлический пресс на банку колы. Набросок Мона Лизы, висящий перед скрытым сейфом, будто с насмешкой смотрел на Кроули. Казалось, все на этой планете, в млечном пути, потешалось над демоном.
К сожалению (и ужасу последующих событий), и так сильно перегруженная психика Кроули не выдержала…
Romantic.
(Yes, it's cringe. But I'm in such a mood today)
I don't know why I called them that (the first thing that came to my mind) I really like this ship💗💗
My own headcanon of Vat7k that you could use as inspiration if you want
While the amber melts away, but cannot stop chanting it, and the water Varian splashes her with has no effect. Varian tries to shake Rapunzel awake, only to have his gloves dissolved on contact. Believing in Rapunzel for not giving up on him, he declares his refusal to give up on her, and this stirs her awake, causing her to collapse onto her knees. The two hug, but Varian never hugs his father. Despite wanting his father back, he knew that he wouldn't wanna see him in this state. Quirin extends his arms to give him a hug, but Varian declines it as he stands there. Till Varian stepped out of his workshop and was never to be seen again for two years.
The aftermath of the Saporian attack, where Rapunzel and her friends are fixing the castle, the queen and king's memories are still gone.
Varian travels through the seven kingdoms to get a fresh life and improve his reputation, with his memories gone.
The woman with blue hair and the enchanted girl (Zhan Tiri) stumble upon Varian
Years had passed since Rapunzel's compassion to redeem Cassandra and the defeat of Zhan Tiri, life in Corona was improved, and so were the queen and king's memories.
Varian got some new friends along the way, one of whom is a thief and a double agent sent by his mother's former friend.
Varian explains that his memories had returned, and he tells them about his misdeeds and what he did in the past.
The 18-year-old decides to get some comfort from Yong, as Yong had already known he earned some comfort.
Quirin got a letter from a "stranger", that stranger being his son, who've written it as an apology for his absence and the misdeeds he's done when he was encased in the amber. Quirin had never been happy to finally get a letter from his son, but he forgives him anyway since his apology seemed genuine enough to earn a forgiviness.
Hugo stored an engagement ring that he was gonna use as a proposal to Varian. His boyfriend is preparing for his day to get married and be with him, have a wedding and be his husband.
Varian makes up for his mistakes by going to Corona, helping people out and showing them that he isn't the vengeful scientist traitor they expected him to be. Even trying to get the earnestness of approval from the king and queen, by apologising and being honest about what he's been doing and explaining his bad misdeeds as well as empathising with his points and apologising for erasing the memories. Blaming himself for the blizzard and not Rapunzel, and even wanting a punishment when the king shakes his head and says he's been forgiven already, since he looked genuine and actually isn't the same guy as in prior years.
Returning to Old Corona, for a stressful day of trying his best to be a better person and continuing with what he left off and serving his punishment by writing an apology letter to the kingdom and to its villagers. His father was farming till he saw his son, the same child whom he cared for. His eyes shed tears, his baby now grown up, and Varian approached him and hugged him.
Varian had reunited with Rapunzel, Eugene, Lance, Kiera and Catalina. Even a letter sent by Cassandra. Varian got a hug from Rapunzel till which turned into a group hug from her friends.
Hugo wanted and always looked forward to what Corona was, and it was his first time going to see it. Varian gives him a tour through Corona and its citizens, even Eugene and Rapunzel accompanied them, but much like Eugene, no one liked Hugo, and the blonde thief knew why.
After 14 days of Varian's 2 weeks in Corona and Old Corona and doing some massive improvements, he bid his farewell to Rapunzel and her friends, even his father and many of the citizens and Rapunzel's parents.
