I LOVE NURU. She’s perfect. She’s an irresponsible teenage princess who’s never been away from the palace. She had no idea what she’s doing. She wants to do stupid shit. She’s a teenage rebel. She wants to get her hands dirty and ditch her dress and swear and work with chemicals like her friends but she’s also a bit nervous because she’s never had this kind of freedom. She religiously believes in astrology. She watches and charts the stars. She cares so much for her friends, really her family. She has so much pressure on her but she keeps going. She’s on a quest to save her home and people and family. She hates Hugo for what he did. She forgives him. She loves her life. She hates her life. She’s moody and bossy but caring and smart and amazing. I just love her.

the reason ive become an extreme wet cat hugo truther is because back then i was still reading on wattpad and all the 7k fics depicted varian as a shy uwu flustered boi who turned into a tomato when hugo called him a babycakes pookie pie smth smth i forgot. with hugo being a muscular alfa male. and it didn't sit right with me but i wasn't gonna hate on it obviously.
but now the truth(/hj) is reaching us and it's that hugo's a sopping boyfailure wet cat and varian literally committed more crimes than he did at 14. it has fullfilled me. the edits that blur hugo's face and add a tw at the beginning and stop putting him on this "hot badass" pedestal. he has been microwaved to hell and back in people's brains. couldn't be happier.

So sorry you got a comment like that! That anon uses reverse psychology to goad people into making more tall Varian content by pretending to hate it. You can make more tall varian content if you want for sure! All hcs are valid. Just wanted you to be aware of their manipulation tactics. It's unfortunately pretty common in this fandom. Stay safe dude.
damn fr? wasn’t even an anon 😭 i guess its a tactic, but all it resulted in was them getting blocked. but i guess thats why they used ao3 lmao, thanks for the heads up and warning!
definitely explains some things. i’m not gonna stop drawing varian however i want, but yeah, this fandom’s definitely got some interesting things going on in it lmao. sucks for the troll that i’m a procrastinator and probably won’t be drawing any varian for like, a month 😭

Random evil idea of mine
Varian: Who is the best? Who is the brightest and smartest? Who is the love of my life and my deepest desire?
Hugo : *Flattered and smirking*
Varian : Exactly! Nuru! *Process to hug her and kiss her *
*Hugo wakes up sweaty and gasping from such a nightmare*
Tumblr media
Hahahahah yes! I played with the idea of making Varian and Nuru a couple, of course, that would anger all the Varigo shippers and that's why I didn't made any post about it before (I had that idea since three years ago (?) )
The character sheet doesn't give us her age, she being 16 is a fanon decision, but, I imagined her as an adult like Varian when I readed about her, so, a romance between them would be plausible.
Tumblr media
As well, I readed lots of fics about Hugo giving up Donella's plan becouse he fell in love with Varian, but, what about Hugo feeling ridiculously betrayed by Varian because Var gives more attention to Nur?
Hugo watching them teasing each other, pet naming, caressing and opening up to each other, making nerdy, chessy (and expensive) science gifts...
Second random evil idea of mine
Of course, Hugo not betraying Donella, staying evil and betraying Varian with actual glee and convinced of being right is something I played in my mind with other variables besides of this one.
And well, in this particular circunstances , what follows is some like this:
"Bros before hoes", doesn't apply, instead, Varian gets angry at Hugo for getting Yong on thievery and identity suplatantion activities on their backs, Hugo feels like these two petty royals are being just ungrateful and have not appreciation for him and his babysitting skills.
Even worse because Yong still idolizes Varian and Nuru, they still give him few attention, advices and expensive gifts, but, as in most kids-parents relationship, the one the kids spends less time with, is the one the kids likes more, because that one is less stressed with him.
So, Hugo lost interest on any friendship, the objetive is keep faking until the end
Tumblr media
That's all meanwhile 😅😅😅 Don't get angry at me please :'u, any way, thanks for reading 🌷🍇🪷🌸🏵️🍓🌸🏵️🧁🏵️🪷🎊👋🏻💐🧁🪷🌷

Happy @azrielappreciationweek, Day 7: Free
I was very excited to bring back my Oh Baby AU for this week. I'm slowly coming out of my creative funk, and I hope to be back to posting on the regular here soon! 💕
Catch up here: Little One, My Son
My fanfic account: @tswaney17fics​​​
My ao3 account: tswaney17
Please let me know what you think about this update. I love getting your feedback. Constructive criticism is always welcome. 💕
Trigger warnings: none
Word Count: 2,224
This fic will be posted on AO3 only. Read here.
Azriel slid Rosalie’s plate back in front of her after cutting her roasted chicken up into more manageable bites.
“Thanks, Daddy!” she announced, spearing a piece of meat and popping it into her mouth.
He leaned down, kissing the top of her head.
“How is training going?” Elain asked her elder sister.
They were having their weekly family dinner at Rhys and Feyre’s manor. Since they all started having children, the sisters pushed to keep up these traditions so the cousins could grow up together. Or at least they tried to as much as possible. Occasionally, one group wouldn’t be able to make it, like when Amren and Varian were in Summer, or Cassian took his lot to the Illyrian Steppes. But, for the most part, they all showed up for this set-aside, few hours to reconnect as a family.
And it worked. Kaden and Nyx were as thick as thieves, and Rosalie and her younger cousin Sutton were already the best of friends. He loved seeing their children together. It reminded him much of his childhood with his brothers. The bond formed through centuries that could never be broken.
Tested, yes.
Broken, no.

Varian and the Seven Kingdoms Consolidation of Info
Requested by anon
This is going to be a consolidation of all the official Vat7K stuff I have on my blog, including copy/pasting of posts Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni have posted, and to a lesser extent, things I’ve posted with insider knowledge I had before Kay ever released their notes. Alexa Bosy was also involved in the project.*
*Please note that all these asks were sent when Kay was still going by Kait and was still using she/her pronouns. I have edited to reflect their preferred name and pronouns when referencing them, but did not edit the content of the original asks.
The Cast
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Kay: Here is some higher-res art of that initial, old line-up. These are some of the character page descriptions we gave when we presented “Varian and the Seven Kingdoms!” I had to shut of my asks because I’m just getting slammed every day, so I’m sorry if I don’t get back to any of you!! I appreciate all the enthusiasm, though! ; - ; Please enjoy and keep creating!!! (Also enjoy some Anna sketches- she designed Varian’s cousins and they’re dang cute!)
The Design
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Kay: Some character design/ costume concept art for a fan project me and Anna dreamed up. It was a little spinoff comic about Varian continuing his adventures in alchemy through the seven kingdoms in order to learn the seven alchemical laws and attain forbidden knowledges. New characters we wanted to play with were Varian’s mom, who design-wise was a in flux, since we only had one reference image to go off of…but we really wanted to match her aesthetic to Varian/ that of a field researcher. We always imagined her as being a lot like Varian! Tried to develop some motifs between the other characters (L-R: Hugo, Donella, and Donella’s muscle-man) to make them look like the evil pack they were. Hugo was a sneaky artificer who conned the wealthy and worked for Donella: Varian’s mother’s former research partner. We also had Yong and Princess Nuru- who were some new friends that Varian would meet on his journey! And of course, Prometheus, a farm donkey Quirin gifted to Varian before he left Corona. (Not quite a Maximus…but, hey!) 
Sample Pages
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rough layout by Anna Line cleanup by Alexa Ink/color by Kay
Beat Boards
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Kay: Here are some old beat boards Anna and I did when we were making this fan-baby!
The first few explored Varian meeting Yong and making his first friend, completing the first trial of the seven kingdoms. In the nighttime one- Anna had a cool idea that Princess Nuru’s dress was an active star chart and that she could act as the group navigator, using it to guide them. The last few were just some group interactions and Varian coming face to face with his mother.The super short story is: we imagined each of the seven kingdoms would teach one of the seven alchemical stages of transformation and reveal a totem. With all seven totems acquired, Varian would be able to use them to reunite with his long-lost mother (we’d called her Ulla) who was trapped somewhere unreachable by her former partner, Donella, long ago. Donella was after the totems as well to prevent Ulla’s release and sent Hugo to collect them as a double-agent within the group. Hugo would later betray Donella in service of helping Varian reach Ulla. We viewed Hugo and Varian’s relationship evolving from a sort of Pinocchio/ Lampwick situation (literally what that drawing is from) to that of an equal one. In a way, their bond repaired the partnership that frayed between Ulla and Donella.
Notes
Anon Ask: Kait! Appreciate the infodump (I'm the currently-Tumblr-less user w the bombardment of Q's earlier) & I'm stoked that you've given us your blessing to use the concept!:P Got more random Q’s, if you’re up for it! Was the comic outfit Varian’s final, or the other designs would’ve been used too (same w Ulla’s 2 designs)? 7 trials ideas, & 7 kingdoms’ names? How much time after TTS would this be? & finally, was Varian planning on actually RIDING that donkey, or would he pull a caravan(?)thing?xD -GC
Kay’s Answer: The outfits were still in flux- the comic was a representation of our first draft and the other designs came later (including Hugo’s upgrade, Donella, etc.) The red dress Ulla was a flashback type of look whereas the teal one is more like…how Varian would have found her. You know I actually found some screenshots of the ol’ docs we wrote using the 7 alchemical stages to mirror the seven kingdoms. We tried to find an alchemical story component, a magical story component, and a figurative/character story component for each! We never actually named the kingdoms and we also crafted a lot of them before they existed canonically in the show (I think there’s an episode of RTA where Raps competes against princesses from the seven kingdoms and they’re mentioned there)…so just know it’s not accurate to that at all, haha.
But here! These are very note-to-self format…so…apologies lol...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Anna: I don’t wanna clutter my main tumblr page but here was the rough outline Kait and I wrote for our fan comic “Varian and the Seven Kingdoms!” Just a reminder that this is totally unofficial, just fan stuff. Would have been fun, wish we could have done it even just recreationally!! Hope you all can use this however you want and continue to enjoy it 🖤

Questions and Answers
Anon Ask: Hello Kait! I would like to know more about Hugo’s past. Your friend mentioned that Hugo is an orphan. Where did Hugo grow up? So, where will he go after betraying Donella?  Does he have a permanent place of residence? 
Kay’s Answer: I’m trying to recall what Anna said, but he definitely grew up an orphan. From what I can remember, the kingdom he grew up in had a very highly divided class system and Hugo was determined to find a way not to live on scraps. And not just that, but to like…get back at, take advantage of as many rich idiots as possible. He’s Robin Hood robbing the rich to feed himself. Someone here called him a champagne-taste kind of guy and that’s exactly right.
He’s manipulative, so he’s probably well ahead of developing technologies and other things for the rich people who invest in him. He’d probably just withhold the best stuff for himself and do what he needed to stay in his patrons’ good graces. And he’d steal whatever they didn’t give him and never get caught.  (I think Anna designed like a motorized bike or something for him once…he’s literally the cool guy with a car. He’d totally keep something like that all for himself.)
Donella and her gang offered protection more than anything…so he offers most of his work to her first. Including his sneakier services. That’s how he ends up being the one to go after Varian. It’s probably also how (in our wildest dreams) we imagined him possibly having pulled a job (and likely conned) Eugene back in his Rider days. Pulled a Rider on a Rider as a sneaky kid.
All of this is also why he’d switch alliances on Donella when it felt right to do so. Hugo has a wild compass but he follows it in service of himself pretty much always. Becoming close to Varian kinda changes that streak in him. He’d probably hang out with Varian whenever everything blew over, maybe settle back down in Corona. Meet this princess everyone keeps talking about. Wait…Rider lives in a CASTLE NOW?!
~*~*~
Anon Ask: Kait! Varian and the seven kingdoms is giving me so much life during quarantine bless your heart for all this :’) I have a question, what kind of life did our sweet boy Yong live? Was he an orphan too? Or did Varian promise his parents/guardian he’d take care of him? After they finish their adventure does Varian take Yong under his wing so he stops blowing stuff up and causing fires? 
Kay’s Answer: I love Yong, I think everyone loves Yong, I think Yong’s parents and family (which I always imagined as being very big) all love Yong. But I think they are all very tired and very grateful that he has made a friend who is willing to take him on as a mentee. I imagine he’s gone through a few. (Very Young Hercules lol.)
~*~*~
Anon Ask: This is a question on the 7 kingdoms au thing. When Ulla was researching in the Dark Kingdom, was this before or after it was abandoned? It was likely before it was abandoned but I'm just not sure. Also, this is probably more of a question for Kritterart, but since she made that post about getting too many asks I decided to ask that question to you. 😅 
My Answer: Yeah, I have absolutely no idea how to answer that. Seeing as how the Dark Kingdom was on the seven kingdoms list in the comic, I have to guess that they hadn’t yet developed in the series that the kingdom had been abandoned, but that’s just my guess. 
Kay’s Reply: (We were thinking it was before…and also where she met Quirin, fell in love with him! Just before they moved to Corona- the place where the final trial/totem were. She paused her research to have a family, that bummed Donella out, Quirin let her go after Varian was born, and she never came back.)
~*~*~
Anon Ask:  If VAT7K ever became canon, would Varian and Hugo been an actual couple? Making Varian bi? 
My Answer: Yes.
Well.
Okay, I don’t know for a fact that they’d have been a couple or endgame, however, I was talking to Kait about it a long time ago and she told me that Vat7K would confirm that Varian is bi (and she was referring to Hugo).
An Important note from Kay
I’m getting way more 7K questions than I have time or any real authority to answer considering there is no ACTUAL CONTENT to reference lol, but I just wanna let you guys know how much I appreciate them all! I’m sorry if I don’t answer your question. I also just don’t want my art tumblr to turn into a huge Q&A, haha.We’ve been loving all the fanart and support and curiosity. It’s amazing! That said- 7K and its dealings, characters are NOT CANON. So if it’s not for you, that’s so totally okay. You’re super valid. We made it for you guys, but it’s yours to take what you like from it and change what you don’t when you use it (or don’t) to tell your own story! We just wanted to help Varian’s story continue, like many of you! So whatever you love or don’t love, don’t be afraid to create based on it!!! We love it all. You guys are the best! Please have fun!!!!

I'm so shocked how you managed to make Frederic a much more compelling character in your darkness exists fic! Like his actions in your fic are mostly the same as his actions in the show, but we know where he's coming from and he isn't unreasonable. And he actually tries to make up for his faults.
Tumblr media
oh shit, a wild tts post in the midst of all my gay blockman angst! first off i appreciate y’all taking the time to send these in, lots of ppl have a sort of taboo against commenting on old/hiatused fics for some reason so it’s wonderful to know there are still readers out there enjoying it, especially since i had to lock my A03 to users only due to the AI bot problem (for the unaware, all big writing AIs like chatGPT scrape from sites like A03 to fuel their ‘writing.’ it’s like the art theft that art AIs do, which is why i’m against the use of AI in any kind of creative capacity. yes, even character AIs.) at a certain point i think i’ll just have to give up and accept there’s no true way to defend against having my writing stolen by AI, just suck it up and start using A03 again, but i’m not quite there yet. that wound’s still fresh.
BUT I DIGRESS. frederic’s characterization was one of the biggest problems i had w season 1 of tts. like, to a certain extent his motivation was understandable, though still unreasonable, but the biggest thing that annoyed me was how the show tried to paint him in a sympathetic light, and how his own family constantly put up with and excused his horrible behavior bc ‘he was doing it out of love.’ when gothel showed her true colors, rapunzel stood up to her- the woman who raised her for her entire life- without hesitation, no WAY she would sit idly by and let her father treat her that way. and his wife!! the queen!!! a total doormat. very disappointing and a direct result of the showrunner’s own inflated ego and self-admitted self-insertion of the character.
the way i handled frederic in my fic was basically my opportunity to show how i think rapunzel- the real rapunzel, from the movie i love- would have reacted. she’s willing to hear out the concerns of those she loves, but is also willing to put her foot down against injustice, especially in my fic where she has such a protective role as varian’s big sister. that shit just won’t fly. so i’m glad that decision was as gratifying for u to read as it was for me to write 🙏 i’m trying to do right by the king we saw in the movie, who captured so many hearts without saying a single word.

Okay anyways varigo makes me fucking deranged and I'm too insane to articulate why properly so here's a long ramble I posted to discord that makes about zero sense unless you're me:
HUGO:
Hugo fucking LOVES that varian is so damn assertive, and unafraid to know/be EXACTLY what varian wants to be. He's so used to wishy washy shit, where EVERYONE has a secret motive and everyones trying to play each other. So to just be allowed to be himself, and to be with varian, is something that's frighteningly new to him and he loves the experience of it. It's having the space in their relationship to work together and build something that neither of them fully know what's going to be the end product, but that's okay, because they'll have built it together.
He loves that varian is SCARY smart, and not really one to hide that fact, but also there's no like... huge ego to it, because that's another thing Hugo's dealt a lot with, is EGO. Like varian will kinda think he's more capable than he is sometimes, but its never out of pure blind egoism, its out of lack of experience. He loves that varian can and WILL stand up for what he thinks is right, that strong moral compass built up from a long time of suffering. It would have been so easy for varian to be bitter, and jaded, but he's not, and Hugo think's its something amazing that varian is willing to help pull hugo of all people, out of the gutter with him. Idk I think hugo's VERY attracted to someone who has a strong sense of self, and an unwillingness to HIDE said self
VARIAN:
Not to be morbid but I think varian kinda... stopped laughing, after the shit with his dad and getting a job and Growing Up (TM) so he still had a few fun times but for the most part no one could really make him like WHOLE SEND laugh his ass of... until Hugo skdfsjkdf like I think that Hugo's sense of dry humor just gets him EVERY TIME and makes him nearly screech with laughter. Even when he's had a rough day, and feels like everything's crumbling, hugo can at least pull a giggle outta him!!!
ALSO I think he likes kinda knowing that under that sassy boy is a soft heart, and knowing that it's something to cherish and take care of is important to varian, like he knows that it's a part of hugo that doesn't get shared often, so to know that he's been trusted with this piece of hugo is something precious to varian.
He likes that hugos willing to let varian fumble, to let him discover how to be in a relationship without judging varian for lack of experience, while also not holding his hand. I think Varian’s used to being kinda talked over/slightllllyyy patronized since all his Corona friends are like a decade older than him. Its not malicious, just the age gap thing showing, but Varian never really gets that from Hugo in terms of their relationship status. Hugo's patient with a lot of things, but never a doormat, and varian appreciates that hugos willing to make it a more even playing field between them.
LONG STORY SHORT:
Varian loves hugo for his patience, and his humor, and his willingness to trust even after all this time.
Hugo loves Varian because Varian is self assured without being egotistical, and because he's genuine in everything he does
I CARE THEM VERY MUCH OKAY BYE
