I Have A Headcanon That Her Father Was A Mage, So After She Died She Would Follow In Her Footsteps While

I think early on in vat7k, Hugo, Var and Yong would have to go through the forest of no return in order to get to Nuru's kingdom. At the end of the series, they'd all kinda go on a mini road trip to say goodbye to everyone properly, and they'd drop off Yong first, meaning that Hugo, Var and Nuru would have to go back through the forest of no return. Nuru would've never been so I can imagine her just getting so frustrated she'd kick a tree and it'd unlock a secret path or something

I think I need sleep I almost called Eugene "Flynn" like not even five minutes ago and I'm genuinely mad at myself for it

While I love seeing Donella being like a mother, when I read varian's tangled trials she gave such a mother gothel vibe and I love the idea of her just being a manipulative little bitch

(I'm only just starting to read the other vat7k fic, I could still change my mind)

Even when Rapunzel figured everything out, Gothel is still using her usual manipulations.

"Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?"

Undermining Rapunzel and going in for a hug to show she still 'loves' her despite her stupid question.

But Rapunzel pushes her away, accusing her of everything. Gothel deflects, still playing the 'loving protective mother' role.

"Everything I did was to protect you."

But Rapunzel finally sees through her mask, and can't believe that Gothel's still trying to feed her the same bullshit she's given her for 18 years in order to control her. And she pushes her away again. She's done listening.

And it's here Gothel realizes she can't manipulate Rapunzel with her usual tactics anymore. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have another weapon up her sleeve.

"He won't be there for you."

So she brings up Eugene.

"What did you do to him?"

This time she doesn't bother denying that she's behind everything. But that's not the point. She brought up Eugene because she knows Rapunzel is going to ask about him. Then Gothel goes for the jugular.

"That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes."

She tells Rapunzel of Eugene's fate, and Gothel knows the news will devastate her. She thinks this is where she gets her control back. Eugene 'leaving' made Rapunzel run back to Gothel, and thinks his death will keep her in her grasp for good.

But even then that doesn't work either.

This is where Rapunzel completely breaks away from her. Only when Rapunzel denies Gothel her hair, her eternal youth, that Gothel finally puts down her mask. She doesn't need it anymore. She has another forceful way of controlling Rapunzel anyway.

("You say I'm the bad guy? So be it.")

(edit because i posted this in such a hurry and i still have more notes for this scene)

Just as Rapunzel sees the real Gothel, Gothel in turn finally sees the real Rapunzel. She's taken aback at her strength (i mean she knows Rapunzel pulls her entire weight up the tower several times a day but this is where she finally gets how strong she is as she tries to break free)

For years Gothel has a tight grip on her, now she is in Rapunzel's. The power dynamic has shifted, and Rapunzel uses this to tell Gothel straight to her face that she can't control her anymore. And Gothel sees this tiny girl finally stand up against her and sees what she's really capable of.

And bitch is terrified.

I still haven't done anything for Varigo week art wise TT

I might just write lazy ass fics or something if I can

Headcanon time!! I like to think that in season 1 or before, Varian sewed little patches onto his apron. Maybe something from a Flynn rider book, something representing the farm he lived on, the Sundrop flower for Rapunzel, a V for his name, etc.

I think at the end of Vat7k, all of his friends and family got together to surprise him with a giant jumper or blanket, where each person made a cute little patch. Even if that person didn't know how to sew or knit or something, it just made it more special. Even if it was super itchy, Var would still keep it

Okay but thinking about how Varian went from "I can't do anything right" to "I can't afford to make mistakes" whereas Hugo went down the opposite pipeline

currently thinking about Varian "i cant do anything right" of Old Corona vs Hugo "i cant afford to make mistakes" Rottewange

and ohhhh they make me fuckin SICK

I have no thoughts other than library depression now. I don't even know how a library can be depressed, but it is.

I just know I'll listen to it and then add it to my list of animatics straight after

OKAY HEAR ME OUT

Only Us from Dear Evan Hansen but Hugarian. Listen listen listen listen listen listen liste

IT’S THEM. TRUST.

Honestly just just just DEH is so Hugo-coded look I’m very normal I PROMISE I’M NORMAL ABOUT THEM
