it is interesting how some parts of the fandom will turn varigo into, essentially, a straight ship, with hugo as the “male” figure and varian as the “female” figure.

they’ll have a running joke of hugo groping/sexually harassing varian in a number of ways and laughing when varian “gets flustered”, and there’s usually a theme of varian being head-over-heels for him from first sight despite this. the whole thing reads like some comic book from the sixties written by an incel, except it’s gay and modern!! so that must make it different!! /sar

there’s probably some internalized homophobia that goes into this. making them both act like the young men they are is really drawing attention to the fact that it’s a gay pairing. (whether or not you believe one of them is genderfluid, they’re still men at least most of the time).

there’s just… a lot of mischaracterization with this trend, i feel. yeah, maybe hugo would be creepy because he’s trying not to form attachment, or because he doesn’t know how to handle any budding feelings, but varian would shut that down immediately. and if he couldn’t for whatever reason, nuru and yong would call it out. and when they’re dating, hugo is way too much of a loser to be the only suave one. (and varian wouldn’t be a flustered mess The Entire Time.)

also, kay and anna have said that hugo and varian are intellectual equals— there’s no reason to lessen one in favor of the other.

let them do traditionally masculine things! let them both be “the traditionally masculine one” in their relationship! the world will not implode, i swear!

I’m so obsessed with actual ant looking Tenna from the concept art. Also I like to think he does this to guilt trip whoever’s there to see him mope

[secretrobotbird]

so they didn’t even give lance a canon age.

[secretrobotbird]

After defeating Tenna, when he quickly changes the images, you can notice a lot of interesting things

such as Spamton sprites and Mettaton's house

[secretrobotbird]

the way i feel when i look at spamton is starting to become similar to how i feel whenever varian's onscreen

is he just so ugly that it loops back around to being cute or is he actually cute or am i fucking losing it

i like when artists draw some big cool drawing of like sneo or tenna or something and then there's just a tiny little spamton in the corner with big ol eyes

Found this on Pintrest (anyone know where it's from/who the artist is?)

Made me think of Hugo's bike and now I wonder if the bike might have been one of the first things he and Varian really connected on. The two of them talking bikes. Varian whips out his original blueprint and they discuss.

RAAAAAHHHHHH GORGEOUSUSSS

artfight! var gale and hugo cast

revenge on @nart-is-a-monster RAAHHHH

[secretrobotbird]

nuru: tell us about yourself!

varian: i’d rather not. i really like this group

(from some incorrect quote or other.)

but also i think it’s extremely possible that frederic just kinda… never gave the orders for the wanted posters to stop circulating. because it’s frederic.

which also makes it possible for the vat7k group to find them in varian’s bag.

and i think it’s very, very possible that he stashed them there because he doesn’t want to litter.

these earrings are so so so hugo i wanna draw hugo wearing these earrings (i can't draw)

[secretrobotbird]

yearning for incredible artistic talent so i can draw vat7k dark world designs 💔💔💔 THEY COULD BE SO COOL I HAVE SUCH VISIONS BUT I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME DRAW THEM GAAAAAHHH

Thinking about Knuckles’ trouble adjusting from warrioring to being a family son with two younger brothers. His anxiety around now protecting someone else, combined with his inability to sleep on a comfortable soft bed leads to him sleeping under people’s beds to both ‘protect’ and be comfortable in his own way.

[secretrobotbird]

they’re like the devil and angel in my shoulders but they’re both evil

[secretrobotbird]

making muffins with my sibling when i suddenly feel like there's something awfully familiar about these colors and OH MY GOD IT'S TEAM RADICAL

i think it's impossible to escape vat7k. even with deltarune taking over my mind vat7k is still very there,,,, just waiting to take over again once deltarune fades,,,,,

Aside from Co-Executive Producing “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure” I also serve as one of the character designers. Here’s one of the designs I’m most proud of, Adira. My good friend David Pimentel alway whines at me that I don’t post enough “rough” artwork so here are all the dirty scribbles, doodles, and thoughts that led to Adira’s final design. (Whose final color was done by Alison Jota). A big thank you to Bosook Coburn whose knowledge and passion of Korean Culture helped lead me down this path to figuring out Adira’s look. I was especially thrilled when the Tangled fans discovered that Adira’s Braid Clips and Earing are designed to mirror the “Brotherhood” symbol on her hand and belt! (“Repetition with variation” as my wise design teacher Leo F. Monahan taught me).
