I feel that Rapunzel and her Dad's issues relied too heavily on demonizing Varian as their problem. True he kidnapped the Queen, but their was more going on with them before Varian lost it on them. I dislike how defeating Varian is treated as solving the issues between them.
Honestly, all of Frederic’s shortcomings are too easily explained away because the show uses Varian as a scapegoat. Frederic hiding the knowledge of the black rocks until they are literally starting to destroy the captial? Somehow he convinces the angry townspeople to turn against the one person actually working on stopping the rocks. Frederic sending disguised guards to harass Varian in his already destroyed home? Completely overlooked in favor of Rapunzel just being angry about being lied to. Even Rapunzel uses Varian as an excuse to lesson Frederic’s actions when Frederic even dared to try to take responsibility for his mistakes.
Varian didn’t cause the rift between Frederic and Rapunzel. It was Frederic’s lies that caused that rift. It’s Rapunzel’s inaction until she literally couldn’t not ignore the black rocks that’s part of the problem. The townspeoples’ rage about the black rocks destroying their homes and livelihoods shouldn’t have been “solved” by directing that anger on a single teen. Frederic was WAY more responsible for the conflict in S1 than Varian was. All Varian did was allow his sorrow turn into rage, borned from the desperation that was forged by Frederic and Rapunzel actions and inaction.
Also, Frederic and Rapunzel has had their issues with each other before Varian was even induced to the series. Frederic was already understandably overprotective of Rapunzel, while Rapunzel felt like the kingdom of Corona just became a larger tower for hun to hide her away. Rapunzel comparing Frederic to Gothel for that brief moment was the true conflict between the two of them. Varian was just a boy who wanted to help when it was clear to him that no one else was trying to stop the rocks. Whatever weird obsession the show has in portraying Frederic as this “poor and misunderstood, soft-hearted” father just makes his character suffer due to not letting him develop.
I MADE A VILLAIN VARIAN MOODBOARD BUT IT'S SO BAD
"Wait- Is that dynamite?!"
"Yep."
"I wasn't allowed to have that until I was at least fourteen!"
Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am fourteen! Almost, anyway."
Yeah, Varian didn't believe that. He crossed his arms and gave him a judgemental look, "You're little for a fourteen year old."
"And you're little for," he looked him up and down, "well, whatever age you're in, really."
This is so bad but I wanted to post something aaaaa
I am alive :D
And to prove that here are some random tts headcanons teehee
• Varian has abandonment issues HAHA
• The gang sometimes low-key forgets that they're all only-children, like, they all adopted each other and forget they're not each other's real siblings LMAO
• Someone: So, your highness, as an only child, you-
Rapunzel: What-... but I'm not an only child tho :/ ....OH YEAH WAIT-
• For someone so small, Varian is able to buy a whole cake and eat it all by himself in one sitting
• Varian is very twitchy is the kind of a person that can't stand/sit still and has to at least bounce his leg or something or do something with his hands
• Arianna teaches Rapunzel french
• Maybe Raps even tries to flirt with Eugene in french GKGJFVJ
• Rapunzel: Tu est très béant :)♥️
Eugene, who knows french: ...What-
• She meant to say tu est très beau/You are very handsome and instead she said "you are very gaping" but she's trying her best okay :(
• Eugene hides his trauma and pain with humor (that's basically canon tho)
• Like, he claims that he doesn't want people to see him cry because he's an ugly crier but that's just a funny way hiding the fact that he doesn't wanna cry in front of people because he thinks it makes him weak :( I guess growing up on the streets just makes you have this mindset
• Lance loves braiding Catalina's hair (cuz he's bald HAHA)
• Rapunzel loves braiding her own hair too, but after she looses her hair, she can't braid it much, so she braids everybody else's that's longer than hers!
• So now everybody in the castle has little braids in their hair <3
• Rapunzel has a special pair of shoes that she wears specially for Varian's lab (cuz of broken glass ect.) so every time she's walking in the castle wearing them, everyone knows where she's going
• Cassandra sends everybody letters after she leaves Corona and they're usually accompanied by some cool thing she found on the road (usually some kind of a weapon tho lmao)
• Like for example a baseball bat with hammered nails in it that she sent to Rapunzel!
• Aka "ur gonna need better weapons that kitchen utensils to defend urself raps"
How did I go so long without drawing them their designs are stunning😩
"Team awesome is baaaaaaaack!"
Imagine telling them a your mom joke
Hugo: Let me guess, you're here to give me the shovel talk to make sure I don't hurt Varian or you'll kick my ass
Eugene: No, Varian would kick your ass himself if you hurt him
I AM SO STUPID HOW DID I JUST REALIZE THIS
I was trying to draw Eugene and drawing a goatee without it looking like a barcode is actually difficult give Varian some credit-
Freckle siblings >>>>
Watching tangled season two be like "hey, let's draw some characters from this season- oop nevermind Varian"
A purple lady and her three red boys
Varian: You have to apologize to Nuru.
Hugo: Fine.
Hugo: 'Unfuck you' or whatever.
I saw @teenscientist 's post and fell in love with the concept. Imagine how badass Varian would have been in the finale if he had a sword like-
Disney didn't make it happen cuz they knew it'd be too powerful
Instagram won't let me post the whole thing so here it is
This is something he'd say right-
YR VARIAN DESIGN IS SO GENDER
THIS IS LITERALLY LIKE THE BEST COMPLIMENT
Teehee angst (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
(AKA Hugo after telling Donella to duck off and betraying her after realizing he wants to spend his life with good people around him and that she's been kinda toxic towards him...welp :'D)
Y'ALL ANOTHER STUPID HEADCANONS JSJDJFJ
So like, in a modern au, Varian lives in like a farming village with his dad that is like two hours away from the city. Rapunzel and Eugene (since they would be a part of the government technically) would live in some kind of a mansion along with Rapunzel's Parents (Rapunzel's dad could be like a mayor of something) but later, Rapunzel and Eugene buy a little cottage near the borders of the city. Not too far away from the city, but enough to get away from all the chaotic noice, just somewhere calm. And Varian lives with them! Somewhere at a time (like what would the equivalent of season 3 be) he moves in with them into the cottage. And every weekend, he goes to his dad's. Also, since they live on a farm, Varian always brings back some fresh, quality fruits and vegetables for his friends. When he goes to his high school in Corona (where I imagine he met Hugo, Yong and Nuru), he always brings them some of the food, especially for Hugo, who never really got the luxury of having fresh, nice food like this. He usually east most of it anyway JDJDKKF
ME THINKING IM FUNNY PART 3 OR SOMETHING HSHHFJFJG
YALLLL here are some random vat7k headcanons that nobody asked for but i wanted to get it out in the world :D
- Hugo constantly teases Varian about his height even though Varian is the second tallest person in the group
- Yong sometimes joins Hugo in the teasing even thought he's like over a head shorter than both of them
- Varian doesn't usually laugh unless it's like a nervous laugh or something but Hugo manages to make him burst out laughing often
- Yong is the best cook in the group and often is the one cooking their meal (Varian is the second best and sometimes helps him, Hugo and Nuru can't cook for shit JSHDJD
- They all often sleep in one bed/tent together. At first they had to do it so they wouldn't spend too much money on inn rooms and would just get two big beds or even just one
- But after a while they got so used to it they do it on purpose so now they can't sleep without the gang cuddles 😤❤️
- Hugo is a very touchy person and sometimes. just like. sits on Varian's lap. Only ever to tease him and/or fluster him and only ever for like a few seconds, and at first it annoyed Varian but when he started crushing on Hugo, it got him FAINTING.
- At the beginning of their journey, Hugo had a lot of trouble being a team player and looking out for other people and just like. always did his own thing. he didn't understand why it was such a big deal at first. He can pick up his own slack, no one needs to worry about him and he needs to worry about no one. (He's a Toph kinnie) He thought that's just how the world worked.
- But the group started calling him out for it, saying that if he's gonna be with them until the end of their journey, he needs to learn how to work with people. Hugo gets defensive and they all start arguing. They tell him that they care about him and that he can't just "do his own thing" while they're running away from something or fighting someone, that they want to keep him safe, they want to keep each other safe,
- But Hugo just has a hard time believing that someone would care about him enough that that they'd risk their own lives to save him (and this could lead to some potential angst, or fluff, or both lmao)
- Hugo never tasted many kinds of food, especially for example candy (since they probably wouldn't have that much in the iron kingdom and it would be expensive too, and i doubt that Donella bought him any sweets)
- So when the gang discovers this, they secretly buy candy and exotic food for Hugo saying that they just bought it for the whole group so he wouldn't think it's for him but they kinda give him mist of it
- Hugo's favourite Candy is caramel and marshmallow
- Hugo also very much enjoys Varian's hot cocoa
Aaaaand I think this is all i can remember right now but I probably have more somewhere deep in my brain hsjjfkfkfk, let me know if you'd like to hear more headcanons or if this was useless! :D
