Wanted to practice some pixelart portraits and so I did the one woman that had a chokehold on me during the pandemic Ulla Vat7k you are a mess of a corrupted soul and I will treasure you and your unrequired - toxic - doomed - scientist - yuri
(And by unrequired I mean Donella whoops-)
Vat7k x isat crossover? au? thing?
okay so I wanted hugo and varian to have different fighting styles despite sharing the same skill set as alchemists and I wanted their weapon of choice to also strongly reflect the kingdoms they came from.
for varian, he has his staff and throughout their quest he uses it often to illuminate the group's path, especially in darker placesâwhich makes sense because he's from corona, the kingdom of light.
so for hugo, being from ingvarr aka the iron kingdom of warriors run by technological advancement and utilitarian systemâI imagine him owning a pistol that he made himself that he specifically modified to accommodate alchemy wherein his ammos aren't bullets but rather alchemical compounds instead (think like Varian's project obsidian in season 3 but on a much smaller and portable scale) and he's made a built-in switching compartment so he'd have element variety of compounds as ammos ready to go. (think like Honey Lemon's chemistry purse)
it just made sense to me that he'd know how to make and use a firearm (frankly even his DnD counterpart knows how to use a riffle) considering his mentor Donella is a royal engineer and arm's dealer (at least basing this from Varian's Tangled Trials Lore by @i-found-you-justine-time) he's bound to pick up a thing or two from observing and watching her workâplus this provides a practical explanation to why he chooses to wear fingerless gloves instead of a full safety gloves like Varianâbecause he needs that extra mobility to pull the trigger faster.
and this also says a lot about his character because he made it solely and purely for self defense, designing his weapon with the intent to only immobilize opponents rather than actually inflicting serious harm to others.
Mexican varian is real(just a hc!!)
heres the gang! :3
(More re-uploads of my vat7k art :D)
Word to the wise: Maybe donât touch the glowing rock
I forgot to post these lol.
Welp screenshot edits what else can I say
The grom and confession one are m favorites :)
This is so bad but I wanted to post something aaaaa
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
Varian: You have to apologize to Nuru.
Hugo: Fine.
Hugo: 'Unfuck you' or whatever.
Instagram won't let me post the whole thing so here it is
This is something he'd say right-
Teehee angst (. â Ꭰâ.)
(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)
This took so long and for what àČ„âżàČ„
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
PLEASE SEND ME VARIGO HEADCANONS I NEED THEM TO LIVE
ME THINKING IM FUNNY PART 3 OR SOMETHING HSHHFJFJG
- 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 đ€â€ïž
- 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
Here are the final-ish redesigns for them! :D
Aaaaaaaaaahđ© finally done with all the redesigns including Varian, Hugo, Nuru, Yong and Amber! I've done some of them a while ago tho so their designs changed a bit since then UDJJFKFK-
I like to think that in a modern au, Varian would dress like a responsible father and Hugo would dress like his teenage emo so
Varian being stronger that Hugo headcanon my boloved
