Trying to finish more stuff, this is the first full character drawing I’ve finished in a bit… also shoutout to Hugo, my ACAB icon (wearing an upcycled uniform of some dead iron woman)

Extra shoutout to the Yong and Prometheus’ friendship that exists in my brain. The boy and his donkey (/ref)

Hugo

My hand aches but I did it. I made a page dedicated to @dasketcherz ‘s Lover’s Oath AU. This was so much more lineart than I’m used to, but I couldn’t ignore the swirls, could I

I am very thrilled to finally share my vat7k/varigo AU to everyone so may I present!!

Lover’s Oath: A Moonstone Varian x Werewolf Hugo AU

It has all sorts of my personal favorite tropes: childhood (best) friends to lovers trope, noble royalty x personal knight trope, immortal x mortal trope, reincarnation trope, (destined) soulmates trope, cosmically bonded trope

and because I love both the medieval period & modern era settings—I said yes to both ...both is good

This little project has been consuming my soul behind the scenes since last September 2024. It’s a story concept that sparked in my mind after reading When The Stars Came Falling, How to Train Your Werewolf by @aziraphalesbookkeeper and Now That You’re Here, Dear Fellow Traveller by @littlemisslol-fic back to back haha—I took heavy inspiration from bits of world building lore established by these different fics that I really liked and combined them to create a whole new plotline for this AU from there, but added with my own spin on the take laid out by said lore of course!

Which I’ve been making concept arts/visual keys of in between other projects and I will post them in parts. I’m very excited to share and show them with yall!

Varigo Week 2025: Listening

Varian feels like he’s been blind all this time and is finally seeing Hugo—the real Hugo, not a snarky thief full of tricks who cons, but a brilliant genius who can singlehandedly craft an artificially intelligent automaton out of scraps.

And with the way he talks about it with the utmost genuine passion he's ever seen him be, especially if it's about Olivia, his proudest creation...by the stars, it's wonderful—he's wonderful.

that last post was a joke, here's the real day five + closeups

and there's a story to go with it but i'm too lazy to write it

[bucketsfullofyou]

I literally doodled the first two frames and thought “this is stupid he’s just giving him a sandwich” but then I remembered they’re 14/15 and every little thing means the world to them at that age of course it’s dramatic

Day 2: Empty Stomach and Day 4: Bad Habits

I combined these two prompts as a pseudo “what if Hugo and V met in Shima’s Moon Visions AU and reconnected in this alternate VAT7K” cuz Hugo having a crush on the local freakazoid for four and a half years has altered me irrevocably.

(This is my robot arm Varian propaganda you cannot resist you cannot resist you cannot resist you cannot resist—)

@shima-draws I’m sorry I’ve tarnished your AU for the sake of the queers it’s pride month have mercy, your Varian is just so much fun to draw 😭

what ppl defending kids on ipads don’t seem to understand is that there are other ways to keep kids occupied. my mom had a whole bag full of little toys and games for me to play with while waiting in lines at disney world. once your kid is like 7 or 8 they can read a book. they can color. or they can literally just sit there and imagine things. i did that a lot as a kid.

Day 5: Size difference

Has someone done this yet

They should block chatgpt on uni WiFi the way they used to block coolmathgames

look. at his core, i believe varian is a good-hearted character. i don’t think he’s morally gray. i think his villain arc started off with a good motive and was always about helping those important to him, and as soon as he was no longer in danger, he wanted to start over because he recognized his deeds as wrong. he spends the rest of the show making up for what he did even after he receives forgiveness.

however, i simultaneously believe that he is the most petty, conniving so-and-so that ever haunted any kingdom. two truths can exist.

I like to imagine that while the majority of people in Varian’s life dislike Hugo, the only one that actually scares Hugo is Quirin, who thinks he’s great.

Also Adira is here too, but she’s just like that.

Also also, Nuru and Yong love that so many people hate Hugh, they find it hilarious and thrash him about it all the time

some doodles to get me through the Abitur phase (I’m almost done, only maths left! That one is the hardest though…)

OH YEAH and I relistened to the Dance of the Vampires soundtrack recently, love it when bisexual German scientist guys get traumatized in a snowstorm

Good morning to world’s most experimental piece and to an idea that has been in my brain for. Months
