I'm very happy to answer your questions about my OC's in my ask box. It will certainly help me to think creatively.

As for personal questions, I'd rather talk on my messages, and I prefer to reach out to others personally myself.

Varian's Mother's Backstory

I have plans of adding Varian's mother to the story and for her to play an important part, but whether appearances will only be in only in flashbacks or perhaps she'll be making a return to the present day storyline I'll have to decide later depending on what route I take my story.

Varian's mother in my story will be different to Ulla, the V&7K version of her. She'll go by a different name and have another backstory. One thing I will keep is that she'll be alchemist like her son, Varian.

What would you prefer to happen? I'm thinking either Varian's mother is truly dead, she returns in ghost form to help her son (FYI - I don't believe in real ghosts) before disappearing forever, and/or she's alive but in a catatonic state, much like Quirin was when trapped in the amber.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Varian Love-Interest Part 2

What are your thoughts on Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada's on-stage chemistry? Whatever your thoughts are about the musical version of The Great Gatsby or about the couple Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan née Fay (in my personal opinion they aren't exactly a healthy pairing with Gatsby being obsessed with Daisy and Daisy being a shallow woman who cheats on her husband and ultimately breaks Gatsby's heart), I personally think that Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada have amazing vocal chemistry together and I've been actually excited to see these two amazing artists perform together for quite awhile.

I would love to hear them sing a cover of A Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin. I could see them becoming the next Brad Kane and Lea Salonga. Though Lea Salonga has still got it in my opinion.

I guess I'm asking because I'm imaging the dream-casting voice for my OC love interest of Varian's to be none other than Eva Noblezada herself. She has a beautiful, spirited and youthful voice that I think mirrors Lea Salonga's singing performances as Princess Jasmine and Mulan beautifully. I'd ultimately love her to do her speaking voice as well as it just fits a character so beautifully when both their speaking and singing voices are the same.

In theory, what are your thoughts on Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada playing other roles together, specifically as animated characters? What are thoughts on them playing a Disney couple? Do you think Eva Noblezada could play a convincing love interest for Jeremy Jordan's Tangled character?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this whether in comments and/or via poll. I'd really appreciate your feedback.

What makes a good Varian love-interest?

For my upcoming coming-of-age adventure story for Varian I have plans to give the adorable alchemist his own love story. While I'm certainly not implying that he needs a love interest to be happy, it's something I imagine he does want someday.

I imagine that Rapunzel and Eugene are an example of the kind of romantic love he wants, e.g. a best friend, partner and someone to grow old with. Even his father's undying love for his (supposedly) late mother gives him hope that maybe it could happen for him. At the start of the story I imagine he has a lot of insecurities when it comes to love, partly as result of Cassandra rejecting him (though he's accepting of the fact they'll always be "really good" friends) and the other part because he wonders if he's deserving of it. While he's mostly forgiven himself for his past sins, there's still a scar there and it still stings when he faces rejection from anybody who is not willing to forgive or trust him (I imagine Nigel is one of these people). So throughout my story I imagine he's still learning to forgive and accept all these parts himself and learns how much more he could be.

While I certainly don't ship Cassandra and Varian, I do admit I found Varian's unrequited crush to be very cute. Plus, their friendship was very cute as they truly have a mutual empathy and understanding of each other. Plus, I loved their amazing duet.

I kind of wish we saw more interactions between these two in the series finale. It would have been good to see them apologise to each other for attempting to hurt and/or kidnap the other in order to get to Rapunzel. While they clearly didn't hold grudges against the other, I just wish they could have had a moment like that. 😔 I'm certainly writing a flashback moment like this into the story for the sake of showing they forgive each other and that they want to build a healthier friendship.

I know a lot of people believe Varian was attracted to Cassandra due him being an Amazon Chaser, e.g. is attracted to strong, warrior women, but @o0whiterabbit0o made a good point that Varian's attraction to Cassandra began as a result of her "choosing him" in choosing to save his life. He was attracted to her because she kindly and selflessly made the effort to protect him, and therefore he felt she was really something special.

While I'm certainly not against this headcanon of Varian being attracted to (or at least strongly respecting) strong women, I think it's safe to say he's attracted to selflessness, kindness and loving devotion in potential partners as well.

I also think intelligence would be an attractive feature for a potential partner. She doesn't have to be at Varian's level of intelligence or even have an interest or skill for alchemy. Still, I think having her own intelluctual interests and hobbies would certainly make her stand out as a potential romantic candidate.

No offence to Varigo shippers (Varian and Hugo V&7K AU ship) but I personally imagine Varian with a girlfriend rather than a boyfriend. I certainly think we need to be respectful of each other's opinions on the subject of Varian's sexuality, but in my opinion I think he's interested (or at least more interested) in women romantically in canon. Therefore I plan for his love interest to be a girl.

So far some of my favourite Varian love interest OC's include Lashanie by @o0whiterabbit0o and Instagram and Cara writer/artist dlimpy's (Links to her accounts can be found below) OC, Danielle. I love their designs and the fanwork these amazing artists/writers have done. Both girls sound like well-rounded and likeable characters with very different but nonetheless fleshed out relationships with Varian. I hope my own OC love interest will be as fleshed out and likeable.

dlimpy's Cara account:

So far I have two OC's that I am considering as potential love interests for Varian, though I'm currently trying to flesh out their character and story arcs for the sake of making sure they don't fall into the Mary Sue or Satellite Love Interest territory. I want them to be their own person and have other goals to simply being Varian's love interest.

I will eventually introduce you to my OC's in spoiler-free character profiles once I'm done writing them. Maybe eventually I'll share more fleshed out spoiler profiles with backstories once I actually get to writing and publishing my story.

For now I am curious as what you think makes a good and fleshed out Varian love interest? Do you think Varian has a type or least an idea of what he wants in a romantic partner? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[varian-secretportals]

Certainly a theme in my own story, how magic and science are different but could learn to work with each other rather than against each other, so long as it's not dark and evil magic with power-hungry purpose.

Magic vs Science

Besides the fact she is just awful to him, Varian disagrees with much of what makes Taoide, Taoide.

She is a magic user who purposely abuses her power for her own gain.

While Varian is a scientist who prides himself on using his intellect and tech to help and benefit others.

He has only ever needed Taoide’s magic twice and he paid a heavy price for it both times.

Background from Tangled the Series

[varian-secretportals]

This is so beautiful. I definitely think the Kingdom of Galcrest (one of the 7 Kingdoms from Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure) could take inspiration from these ice buildings.

Cultural Architecture: Northern Water Tribe Capital

While the NWT’s capital city takes obvious inspiration from Venice through its use of waterways and gondolas, I believe the city might also have been inspired by the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in China. At the festival, there is an exhibit known as Ice and Snow World that displays full-size buildings made from blocks of thick ice taken directly from the Songhua River. This exhibit began in 1999 and stays open from late December to late February. Each year the park has to be rebuilt with newly designed ice buildings and ice sculptures.

When the buildings are done in the style of Chinese architecture, they remind me a lot of the Northern Water Tribe.

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

@o0whiterabbit0o Thanks, I probably might use bits of this profile format and titles for my OC's as well. I hope that's okay?

I might make edits to the profile if any changes happen story and plot wise for the OC's. The characters and story is still in development after all and changes may be necessary for the sake of a well-developed story and characters.

Thanks for your help anyway. You've done a great job on your OC profile. 😁
