Never Underestimate The Power Of Positive Feedback On An Ao3 Author.

STANFORD PINES

but also we have to drop some charges. like. a few. and argue about his intentions.

im a blorbo apologist but also they did every bad thing they did and i will get mad if u ignore that. complexities

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

I think they could be friends….

i feel like i’m going crazy— somebody validate my “varian sees andrew in hugo”

just. cocky, pretentious, self-assured, handsome, not that trustworthy (but varian wants to trust him). he lives with this guy for months. (trapped.) there’s an objective that both he and this guy are trying to achieve. varian would risk his life for him (but would he do the same if varian was in danger?) there’s a sense of waiting. (everything is not quite right.)

is he imagining things, reliving memories he hasn’t gotten over, or is history repeating itself? (time is a flat circle.)

something something hugo letting his hair down and allowing his vision to be partially obscured, trusting others to keep watch, not being on guard, letting himself rest for once

something something varian revealing what he’s kept hidden and protected despite the risk of being hurt in the process, and he ends up being held

i don't know if you've gotten an ask like this before but i just love hugo so much. do you have any headcanons for him that you must share with the public (TELL ME TELL ME NOW I BEG)

Yayyy Hugo headcanon time!!

He’s a bottle blonde, whether it’s cuz his natural hair is brunette or another shade of blonde

Hugo cannot swim at all. Like, my guy was PANICKING during the water trial

He sees Donnie as his mother

Doesn’t like sweet things because he doesn’t have a sugar tolerance after spending so much of his life in poverty (got this from the silent opera)

Unlabeled in terms of sexuality. I feel like he either wouldn’t care or wouldn’t have time to figure out a label for himself and settles for “I’m attracted to the person, not the gender”

Him wearing his hair down around the others is some kind of metaphor for letting his guard down (will die on this hill)

Knew about Varian being the Alchemist before Varian told everyone

This ^^ being said, he also freaked out once he found out/realized because he idolized the Alchemist the way Varian did Flynn Ryder

Sees Nuru as his sister (I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP)

Nuru is his maid of honor at his and Varian’s wedding

Yong is his best man ^^

Dropped a piano on Eugene’s head when they were on a thieving job years ago 😼

Born to wear his heart on his sleeve, forced to keep it locked away. He’s such a lover boy at heart

Almost left Corona after the trials were over because he thought it would be “better for everyone” but Varian convinced him to stay

Took him years to get used to living in the castle

Forged his and Varian’s wedding rings because I think it’s the sweetest thing ever (got this from dasketcherz)

Tells Yong stories until he falls asleep (at first he did it to brag about his adventures as a thief, but he grew to genuinely enjoy it)

Constantly incorporating magic into his engineering

There’s a lot more but these are just what I could think of on the spot 🫡

Thank you for the ask <333

“i want varian to voluntarily disclose his past villainy” “i want varian’s old enemies to come back and forcibly reveal it” i want varian to explain his past crimes while doing really bad impressions of people like in episode 1

“so then rapunzel was all, ‘ooh, i’ve gotta take a PAINTING class, because that’s important’— oh, i forgot to tell you about the armed guards stationed outside my house, lemme back it up—“

Your brother is SIXER??

12 of 14 of my works were scraped by ai, and i know so many other authors are experiencing the same thing. this is your reminder to comment on fics you love, because creators are getting discouraged. we need to keep ao3 alive.

“actually, despite all their actions that prove who they are, Lying Liar McFalsehoods said this to Gullible von Naïveté, and Gullible von Naïveté believed them, so your take is bad” is a statement i read way too often on here.
