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.
(Her shirt says what the fuck btw, didn't realize how light that was lol. Also, Nuru I am so sorry I did you so dirty my girl I PROMISE I will get better at drawing you one day)
So yeah. They're stupid and silly and gay and Nuru is dying in the corner (also give me drawing requests + poses you'd like me to VAT7Kafi because I'm bored and I PROMISE I'll always get them done at some point lol)

Abel needs your support! 🥰💛⭐
they're so sooo cute though ughh..eugene,, you're so lucky man..you win bro 🙏😭🤧 you win 😔 con😭gra😭tula😭tions😭
i need her so bad 😞
AWWWWWW MY POOR BABY 😭😭😭😭💗(Biromantic and asexual bro✨)
(And headcanons cool)
Varian headcannons
He/they baddie
Has lots of burn scars from experiments
Has scars on his wrists from handcuffs. For this reason he never takes off his gloves unless he's alone or with someone he trusts.
Trust issues. This kid was ignored by pretty much everyone when he needed them most, it's gotta have an effect on his ability to have healthy relationships (they say, almost like they're not speaking from experience)
Angry and Catalina were the first friends he had that were vaguely around his age. The vat7k gang (- yong) were the first friends he had actually within a year of his age (I hc angry as 12 and catalina as 14 in season 3. the vat7k gangs ages are again my personal hcs: Nuru as 17, Hugo as 19 and Yong as 15).
Used to love the snow and rain and winter because it meant hot cocoa and time with his dad. The blizzard ruined a lot of things for him, including the snow.
Sensory issues galore (no I'm not projecting wdym)
Sh scars BC boy hates himself for everything he's done and blames himself for everything that went wrong
Whipping scars from prison. Again based off a HC of mine where they put him in maximum security and treated him like a regular major prisoner (including fun perks like interrogation, torture, starvation and whipping) until his old cellmate attacked him pretty badly so they threw him into the cell with Andrew. (Which was no better. Seriously which fricking ass had the oh so intelligent brainwave to put him in with Andrew. That's why I created this HC to at least try to give it a rational explanation)
Frostbite scars. You're telling me that a kid in a winter coat travelling the carriage worthy distance from old Corona to the castle through a blizzard literally described as a divine death trap TWICE made it out unscathed? No way!
Looks perpetually like a 12 yer old, much to his annoyance and to the amusement of Eugene.
Autism and ADHD. Look at him. Just look. Especially at the beginning of that episode where he gets kidnapped.
Also: PTSD, anxiety, depression, and BPD. Yes I'm projecting but also. Varians anxiety is pretty much canon ATP. You can see it in most of his episodes pre and post villain arc. PTSD because even in be very afraid, which happens around 2 years after his dad was trapped in amber, he is still very affected by it. Depression and low self esteem, he's miserable about everything that's happened and that's kind of ruined his life and he hates himself for it. Little canon evidence but feels right. BPD- much of Varians character, especially early on, is built around seeking affirmation. When he is repeatedly denied it, his emotions overcome him and he can't hold it anymore and breaks down. Also I see him as very emotional and logical at the same time so he has mood swings out of his control and is horrified at himself because he knows they aren't rational but he can't control them. Totally not projecting. Again not much canon evidence but great for angst and projecting purposes.
Since I'm projecting here I might as well project my artstyle on him. Sketchy, done with a pen or pencil and one random colour on the back of pretty much anything. Actually pays attention to lighting and tone on the rare occasion it is required. Very good at making random scribbles look like a perfect replica of something he's seen before. Good for scientific drawing and sketches. Terrible for fully finished works. Unlike me he is very good at art and makes my weird artstyle look good.
POTS. No real reason, just I can make characters physically disabled in headcannons and I want to use that power. Also varigo fluff potential.
Reads too much
Chronic loneliness from having no one to talk to (I'm projecting too fcking much and I know it)
Insomniac and won't admit it. Has passed out plentiful times in his lab and the most random places ever from pure exhaustion. This got worse during the villain arc because Quirin wasn't there to drag his sleepy ass to bed. Hugo worries.a (no it isn't an ungodly hour in the morning when I'm typing this wdym).
Reconnects with Cass post canon.
Has nightmares about his dad, sots, prison or Andrew regularly and needs either his dad, Eugene and later Hugo to stay with him after.
Has a serious sense of ✨style✨
Biromantic and asexual. He does not escape my giant aspec ray.
Begged his dad for weeks to let him keep ruddiger, who wandered into his lab one day and soon enough became his "assistant". Quirin was rather displeased (DW he came around eventually guys).
We all know that Varian loves animals, but did you know that animals love Varian?
Very picky eater who has a bunch of allergies and often forgets to eat (y am I projecting sm here chat).
Very good at lying and manipulating and scheming, as seen in his villain arc, but his emotions and guilt and empathy get in the way most of the time. As he should tell Hugo in my hcs, "just because I can doesn't mean I enjoy doing it". (HC: Hugo knows Varian has some sort of criminal past but he doesn't know that he was his gay awakening, the alchemist).
Makes annoying household inventions.
sassy and overdramatic
Issues with authority
Shares some rather radical opinions with Hugo and Cass
Frustrated at Cass walking away scott free whilst he was stuck in prison for a year
Bottles up anger until it explodes at the worst possible moment
is NOT innocent.
Intense fear of disappointing people, especially those who wouldn't have a negative reaction, since "that just makes it worse".
Idealist that kept getting more and more frustrated and disillusioned over time.
There are more but this post is long enough as it is. Almost all of these are me projecting on Varian.
What are some of your Varian headcannons? I'd love to know. :)
Varian, again (I just got bored with Algebra)I hate math>:(
(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💗💗

Hugo-Alastor; Varian-Lucifer…who is a Charlie? Or Angel Dust…
This spring in London it was unusually bright, as if it was not a foggy Albion at all. Ernest was walking along Soho, enjoying the spring sun. He inhaled fresh, as if alive, air, waving the floors of his beige cloak, admiring the blooming trees. The guy's blonde top was barely hidden from the sun by a light brown hat. Blue eyes joyfully shone in anticipation of the long-awaited purchase. Seeing the right shop, Ernest turned around and went into the bookstore "Aziraphale and k.o." The smell of antiques, books and cocoa immediately hit my nose. The blond guy smiled, approaching the girl in a beige formal-style suit.
Muriel turned around when she heard the subtle ringing of the doorbell. She smiled friendly at the next visitor.
"Good afternoon, welcome to the bookshop "Aziraphale and K.o.". I'm Muriel, can I help you with something?" - the girl's voice was pleasant and melodic, despite the obvious memorized phrase.
"Hello, I'm Ernest. We agreed on the phone about a copy of Kevin Kelly's "The Home Planet." - the guy smiled politely.
-"Oh yes, of course! Mr. Rutten, I remember. I'm a little busy sorting books right now, but I'm sure my assistant Crowley will be happy to provide you with this book."
|A couple of hours ago |
Drunk Crowley picked up the phone with difficulty, taking it to his ear. The man's voice was hoarse and smoky-rough.
"What do you need!?"
On the other side of the tube there was a modest and gentle female voice:
"Mr. Crowley? This is Muriel. I would like to ask you for help. Today I need to sort out books and I won't be able to receive visitors. Could you do it for me, please?"
Crowley sighed heavily. He didn't want to return to a place that left so many painful wounds on his heart, but he couldn't refuse his ward. The man muttered into the phone something like: "wait in an hour" and dropped the call.
Quickly sobering up, Crowley brought himself into relative order: gathered his dull red hair in a careless bun, went to the shower, put on a clean suit and left the apartment. Going out into the yard, he saw his car. Bentley looked no better than her owner. The red one on the sides of the car came off a little, one of the tires was punctured by some bully. The red-haired demon sighed heavily, but at the snap of Bentley's fingers she became like a newcomer.
Anthony got behind the wheel and went to Soho…
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!!!!
