Max: You see this? This is my 'I don't care' face.

Neil: That's your everyday face.

hi i love my son

Hi 😀 ! Again, I'd like to say luv luv your work!! And I'd like to ask. If it's okay...I wanna know your headcannon about something? I'm curious on what kind of moment everyone's realization would be at Varian is "growing up". Like these little things like "what?! he's taller than me now?" I'd like to imagine it would be like a proud/cute/feel old moment for them haha.

Thank you so much! It’s always encouraging to get feedback!

I think noticing changes in Varian would be a bit more… tense. Like he was intimating enough as a small fry. I have no idea how long it will be before they see him again but if it’s going to be a while, they may very well come back to find him already looking different. I don’t imagine it would be a ‘feel old’ thing, I mean Rapunzel is only four years older than him. In modern day that would be like comparing a high school freshman to a senior or college freshman. Technically, Rapunzel is still a teenager too.

Plus, it wouldn’t be Varian if a new older design didn’t involve a dramatic reveal. :P Smol bean became tol beanstalk.

So here he still has angst but instead of the emotional outbursts of an early teen, it’s the cold bitterness of a late teen. Sorry if my handwriting can’t be read. XP

I’m not trying to excuse any of what Varian has done, but this scene definitely had me shouting “OH C’MON!” at the TV screen on his behalf. I know they were just having a “thank goodness everyone is safe” hug, but they’re having that family moment literally mere feet from where Varian is breaking down at the feet of his father’s encased body after his latest failure to save him.

NOT. COOL.

Something went wrong, Varian’s crushing under the weight of his failure, and he’s seeing his friends get their happily ever afters while ignoring him and his plight. If there’s a single scene that can summarize his journey to the dark side, this is it.

Re-watching ‘Queen for a day.’

Hi, it’s me, back at it again with another Varian post

I just…can we talk about this for a second? This is a moment at the end of Ready As I’ll Ever Be that’s very difficult to catch at a glance, but to me, it says a lot. These are all expressions that Varian makes just before the Final Battle- when he’s just finished preparing and is watching the automaton as it’s being lowered into the cellar.

In the first two images, he doesn’t look nearly as sure of himself as he does throughout most of the episode. In the second one, if you look close, you can even see his gaze has drifted to the side as though he’s contemplating something; possibly wondering if all this is really necessary and whether or not he’s actually doing the right thing, here.

But then, by the third one, his resolve hardens. He’s likely reminded himself of his (supposed)motivation to free his father and of the fact that he’s already come too far to change course. And we know what happens from there…

We’ve seen this kind of thing before, though; In the Alchemist Returns, he seems to be second-guessing his actions just before turning on Rapunzel:

It’s already made pretty clear that Varian is neck-deep in denial about who’s really to blame for his father’s condition, but he also appears to be wavering a lot in his resolution for solving the issue. Despite the bravado he uses when confronting the king and Rapunzel - bragging about how they’re “not in a position to demand anything” - any time he really stops to think about what he’s doing, his expression suddenly becomes hesitant and unsure. 

This, to me, reaffirms that the only real motivation he has for his actions is anger. He’s not thinking clearly; the logical side of him is still not completely sold on the course of action he’s choosing, but he’s letting his emotions override it (as distraught teenagers often do). Varian is not all-in with seeking revenge against Corona, but at this point in time, he views it as his only choice. Not because it makes the most sense, just because it satisfies his desire to deflect and refocus his anger on something(or someone) else.

Because where would he turn it on otherwise? Probably, himself.

Man, I just… realizing that Varian is eventually going to have to come face-to-face with his own guilt and accept the blame for everything that’s happened… Varian may be a villain (and I do personally believe he can be referred to as a “villain” at this point), but at the end of the day, he’s still just a grieving kid who’s too afraid to admit that his mistake may have cost his dad his life.

I truly hope he’s able to reconcile his relationship with Rapunzel and save his father. And when he does, I hope it’s his decision to make. 

I really want this boy to make a turn around of his own volition. Because, deep down, he knows that what he’s doing isn’t what he wants to do- what his FATHER would want him to do. And he needs to come to terms with it, and set it right (just as he said he was going to do in Let Me Make You Proud.)

I’m happy to finally do this meme
