What are some of your favorite Hugo headcanons because I love seeing what people think of him

AH IT’S HAPPENING

-i love robotic arm hugo. i think it’s an absolutely fantastic concept. however, if that were the case, he’d either have to have lost his arm or been born without it. either way, i imagine donella had to do surgery both on his shoulder and his brain to attach it, which gives him phantom pains. varian’s noticed that hugo tends to use his human arm for things, but he didn’t put it together until he grabbed hugo’s metal wrist a bit too hard and saw him wince.

-he’s insecure about his singing voice and usually sings out of key to tick people off, but when he actually tries to sing— be it to calm someone down, or serenade varian— it sounds incredible.

-he has worn a dress to smuggle stolen objects in, multiple times. that made him begin to feel introspective before he Noped himself right out of that spiral. (i think he’s genderfluid/genderqueer, but he’s usually okay with being called he/him when he knows it’s someone who would adjust the term if asked.)

-he does Not like bugs. bugs of any kind. even butterflies are pushing it.

-the absolute biggest sap, but all on the inside. varian loves in feelings and gestures, and he does great with words of affirmation, but hugo’s mind is like a poetry mill that never stops. if anyone was able to tell what yearning, dramatic thoughts he was thinking, they would never let him hear the end of it.

-he had a celebrity crush on the alchemist of old corona. and eight different conspiracy theories. this is a pretty common hc but i love it.

-attracted to varian’s “villain voice”. nuru judges him so hard for that.

-a huge love language of his is physical touch, but he’s trained himself out of it. fast forward a few years after the events of vat7k, and you will see hugo glomping onto his chosen people.

-horrible at art. he can draw blueprints and schematics, but he cannot draw people. he’s only managed to draw his robot mouse by thinking of her as various mechanical parts. he tried to draw himself once at eight and once at nineteen and both drawings look the same.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ASK 😭 NEVER HESITATE TO SEND THEM

love when theres a character whose entire existence is spoiler tagged by default. go behind the curtain boy

Varian gets tanner and more freckly in the sun and Hugo just burns. There is no cure. Aloe vera & whatever concoctions Varian can whip up are helpful, but they just reduce him to his pale self again. He is doomed to either be pink/red or pasty. Varian desperately tries not to find it funny.

imagine if NWHS actually hinted at ford being about to kill bill cipher.

like, we see this silhouette in the nightmare realm aiming a massive gun at the demon, see bill's one eye widen in the first fear he's felt in millennia, see the entire realm shaking before the figure leaps through the portal and stores his gun on his back again. then this mysterious man puts his hand on the journal and it fits

imagine how hype that would have been.

VERY TRUE. and she does genuinely care about people So Much, but she has this really interesting mindset about everyone. It’s not black-and-white, necessarily, but once she perceives that someone has betrayed her (cough cough Gothel), she distances herself from them. She puts a wall up. Please ignore season 3.

That actually makes her response to Varian stealing the sundrop flower very realistic for her (especially since he said a very triggering “I used you.”)

Before that, during the months after the storm, I headcanon that along with the decision-making paralysis she was facing, she had to deal with taking care of her recovering parents and handling a lot of inter-kingdom negotiations. Those things were important and for the good of the many, and she could convince herself to put the guilt out of her mind until she received the note from Varian.

I dunno. It just seems like a good explanation that still gives Rapunzel some culpability instead of never addressing that situation at all.

just for clarification:

disliking parts of the way rapunzel’s character was handled in the show =/= disliking her.

movie!rapunzel means a lot to me personally, and i absolutely adore some aspects of her character in the show. i think she’s loving, creative, funny, intelligent, and she tries her best to help the people around her.

if i have a critique with her in the show, it’s because i believe that isn’t how she’d behave as someone who went through the events of the movie. or maybe i look at how she acts for one episode of the show, compare it to the foundation they’ve established in an earlier episode, and find that they contrast one another. my criticisms are for the inconsistent or out-of-character writing, not for rapunzel herself. i understand she has flaws; i just wish they were addressed properly and that she didn’t always have to be in the right.

you’re welcome to reblog this if you feel the same way.

disliking parts of the way rapunzel’s character was handled in the show =/= disliking rapunzel.

i just wanted to be a regular fan i didn’t choose this

TELL ME EVERY TTS/VAT7K HEADCANON YOU HAVE

PLEASE NO I HAVE A FAMILY

why did i subject myself to this. i’m still gonna do it, though. (these aren’t fully dedicated to any one character, so y’all can still ask about them! just thinking of the overall shows)

-varian got down on one knee to propose to hugo. hugo laughed and said “ha, you’re even shorter now.” there was a moment of absolute silence before hugo realized what was going on. varian started to stand up. hugo frantically begged him to wait and start over.

-cassandra and eugene occasionally called off their rivalry for cass to teach eugene to play chess. cass had realized he didn’t know how (orphan, poor, thief) and said that a future king obviously had to learn. cue surprisingly cute, very gruff training.

-varian is terrified of maximus. maximus can smell the criminal on him. varian has had to hide in a tree from that horse several times.

-there was a point in hugo’s life, after vat7k, where it finally dawned on him that he was safe and happy. varian held him as he cried with too many emotions he couldn’t describe.

-hugo absolutely despises frederic and arianna. he performs elaborate, heist-like pranks on them for varian’s sake. they don’t know it’s him. they’re losing their minds.

-for a long time after his redemption, varian didn’t see anything wrong in his relationship with andrew. he just thought “well, he’s standing in for my dad.” and then he did consciously realize “he’s evil”, but he didn’t actually unpack everything that went on. i don’t think andrew did anything to him, but i think he was extremely creepy, and there’s still something so horrible about a man in a confined space with a boy who was 13 only a year ago.

-upon the separatists of saporia breaking out, andrew made sure to keep varian busy in the castle so he didn’t realize that the citizens of corona were enslaved.

-varian’s truth cookies made pete and stan confess their love.

-nuru is afraid of ruddiger at first (not a lot of wildlife in a meteor-ravaged kingdom). she finally gets over that fear just in time for varian to have to turn ruddiger into beast-ruddiger for some reason. nuru is even more emotionally scarred.

-“plus est en vous” goes differently in my mind. in my ideal reality. in my headcanon. i don’t know exactly what happened, but i do know varian, lance, and eugene play MUCH bigger roles.

-hugo is an emotional drunk. varian is a stupid drunk (while inebriated, he once invented a ship, which had already been invented at the time. ((by “ship”, i mean boat.))) rapunzel is also an emotional drunk. cass is the death-wish kind of drunk that would deliberately try to get run over by a carriage. eugene can keep an objective in mind when he drinks, like getting information out of somebody, but he will also get distracted by a really pretty swirl of wood on the table. lance is a philosophical drunk.

-the whole team, from both shows, hums their big songs to themselves when they’re bored. those things may spring out of their innermost psyches and display themselves in fits of passion, but damn if they aren’t catchy.

-angry once won an arm-wrestling match against lance. no one knows how it happened. lance swears she hypnotized him.

-eugene lets rapunzel paint on him, and she comes to him for fashion advice.

THAT’S ALL I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW AND THEY AREN’T EVEN CHARACTER-SPECIFIC SO OH BOY I GUESS I HAVE MORE

idk, chris sonnenburg. if you didn’t want your character to be adored by the fans, maybe don’t make him such a little goob.

look at ‘im.

also, maybe don’t make him one of the most compassionate people in the show who only wanted to make positive change for the people he cherished— *i am dragged off of my soapbox*
