people who thought varian having fellow scientists for friends was a bad idea because "it takes away his uniqueness of being one" is a pretty shallow and flat criticism

because if we're being for real, surely he is not the only scientist/alchemist that ever exists in the tangled universe, that would just be plain goofy. a group of people can indulge under the same umbrella of interest and still be distinct from each other at the same time. a great example i can think of is having a group of artist friends: fundamentally youre all good at drawing sure—but one maybe is better at rendering, one is a master at perspective, one is a pro at composition, one is a beast in color theory etc not to mention every one in the group having their own art style different from one another

the same can be said for team radical—yong is skilled in pyrotechnics and kinematics, you can count on him to estimate complicated physics. nuru is a pro in astronomy and mathematics, straight up the fastest calculator alive and the team can rely on her to make sure their equations are as accurate as possible before performing it in application. varian and hugo may both be capable of alchemy and engineering but they divide specialty on that front—varian is the better expert at alchemy and chemistry while hugo thrives at being the better mechanical engineer and thaumaturgy.

one of the endearing storyline in vat7k thats so relatable is finding your people, finding your tribe, your peers, individuals that you can connect with because of common interests. so varian having a group of people who are just like him tagging along on the road trip is a great idea. it doesnt take away his identity as a scientist, if anything, it offers so much more room for him to grow, to learn, to expand his knowledge, and to finally have people to share knowledge with.

but this is just my opinion and the former is theirs.

@goggles-varian , @firecracker-yong Hey, Goggles has great friends! And we're all smart in our own right.

With me being the smartest 😏
