i made this in a sickly haze.... i uploaded her to youtube as well feel free to check it out. under the cut is a Huge Ramble abt sum context / what happens In My Mind... also their Fancy ballroom fits n whatever
yk how theres a ball/fancy party or smth? yeah i needed stupid designs so i cranked these out might return and color them but i basically based varian n hugos design off of these just dressed down...
Anyways.
uhm i might write a Whole fic abt this with Oomf but uhm.
this takes place during the events of vat7k about a year after varian initially left, he returns to corona w his friends to find the library and rapunzel and eugene throw him a surprise birthday party. and in true disney character fashion, something horrible happens on his birthday. the gang gets caught witnessing / overhearing plans to assassinate the princess tonight. or maybe its gonna b a murder mystery party gone awry- havent decided. the group splits into two groups, the detectives and the protectors. yong and nuru are the detectives, theyre looking for evidence they can use to prove this has been planned for a long time. hugo n varian r tasked w making sure rapz n eugene done die sum horrible death as they hang out at the party. did i mention the party is The royal ball. so everyone is in stuffy/fancypants fits.
the whole running gag was gonna b rapunzel and eugene having like fifty near death experiences n its always like, Unknowingly. and hugo and varian r stressed out of their mind.
the reason varian n hugo r on Protector duty is coz theyre like Uhm. we're better at Improvising stuff. We can curve this and try n get the Killer to mess up and leave a trail for nuru n yong to go after.
anyways this animatic takes place a bit after like fifty attempts (cartoon ass flower pot almost crashes on their head, they watch someone spike their drinks and hugo runs over and drinks them both followed by an antidote varian just made, they walk through an archway and just barely miss the guillotine positioned above their head okay you get it just Silly cartoonish methods of assassination)
A Lovely Night takes place after Most of that so theyre very tired, the two get locked onto a balcony and r forced to kinda js Watch rapz n eugene hang out. varian takes a seat n is trying to sleuth out whos tryna kill his sister, he has an imaginary cork board w strings. hugo is kinda like "mann theyre kinda cute tgt. see two ppl locked on a balcony alone under the night sky would consider this romantic, goggles." n then Lovely Night!
uhm and the afterwards i think theres a figure approaching eugene and rapunzel so the two literally make a makeshift rope and throw themselves down the balcony to save them but boom they played into the assassinators plan! they were tired of varian and hugo getting in the way so they were js gonna kill em too. n then this is when rapunzel n eugene step in, n save them yeah and then they tell them everything and all is well and good and the assassins r behind bars...! Segment end....
Some Varigo expression practice that I tried making quickly, you know, to train my speed. Still took me like 7 hours... oh well
Audio from Jrwi Riptide episode 63 (these two idiots are so important to me. I love! LOVE how their friendship (wow I feel like a historian, saying this) evolves! They care about each other so much!!! Man.
I feel like those message bottles are probably like the equivalent of a fantasy email or something and tbh that makes Rapunzel’s reaction even more adorable XD
Been rewatching tts and just noticed that varian is totally valid for everything he does in season 1, he’s not the villain, he’s the child that a whole kingdom refuses to help multiple times, he asked nicely like 3 times whilst his dad is dying, other than rapunzel and kinda cass he literally did not have any friends and they both turned their backs on him-
also he’s a child! Omds, not once do they acknowledge that in the show but it would’ve made for a lot more deeper thinking rather than portraying Varian as nothing but a villain and that he’s in the wrong
MY FIRST POST WHATT!! Also here our my varian evolution drawings the first drawing was Made in February and it was from a doodle irl. The second one was MADE DIGITALLY!! (I suck drawing digitally so this is a big thing 4 me:33
My first ever OC for a fandom, which happened to be the Tangled the Series fandom. A trickster sea witch, Taoide firmly believes in give and take. You have to give to get, so ask her for your wildest dreams and she will deliver but first think about what it will cost you in return~
Was it ever actually confirmed that Varian had a crush on Cassandra? It’s not really that important I suppose, but personally when I watched Great Expotations I’d only interpreted it as him thinking she was cool. Not necessarily romantic.
Yes, he 100% had a crush on Cassandra, confirmed by the crew. He develops the crush when she saves his life in "What the Hair?!" which isn't well-received by her
and then in "Great Expotations," he was doing his best to impress her (including naming Cassandrium after her) because he has a crush on her.
That's what was with that cringy as fuck line during the battle in "The Secret of the Sundrop."
Anyway, his crush was likened to a middle school kid having a crush on a celebrity.
