my collection of various and frankly very random vat7k headcanons/ideas yay!!!!

(note: orange color is for other characters)

team radical duo names first

varian + hugo = alchemy bros/varigo (take your pick)

varian + nuru = spacerocks (im sticking with that ok)

varian + yong = gunpowder (because its a chemical that, when added into a substance in chemistry, will detonate)

yong + nuru = supernova (GET IT GET IT???? ITS CUZ WHEN A STAR EXPLODES *nudging you with elbow as i wink*)

yong + hugo = hotpockets

nuru + hugo = royaltravesty (i came up with this on the spot, dont kill me)(also they remind me of cass n eugene and cassandra called eugene “royal travesty” once so ohhhhhkay)

ok hc time

Hugo grew up in a lower class, and thus was given no middle or last name. Rottewange was Donella's last name which she gave to Hugo when she took him in (age 5).

Yong is the animal master. He speaks to squirrels, rabbits, badgers, horses, ect. throughout the journey. if Ruddiger isn’t with Varian, he’s on Yong’s shoulders.

^^ Hugo is the opposite of this. Ruddiger only tolerates him if he gets apples in the end and Prometheus just dgaf (nonchalant king) and every other animal just hates his ass.

Nuru was actually aware of Varian’s criminal past as “The Alchemist” because, as a royal, she was informed by kingdom gossip about a dangerous criminal and oh no!!!! anyway when Varian’s past was revealed she was kind of like “oh damn” and “ok cool” because really she can’t see this man as a treasonist anymore when he speaks alchemical equations in his sleep

^^ Varian was actually really scared what everyone else would think of him when they discovered his past, but Nuru was calm, Yong was honestly a little too excited, and Hugo was stunned (bringing back my Hugo being a fanboy of The Alchemist when it was fresh news)

^^ Hugo spent an entire night after contemplating everything realizing that the figure he crushed on a few years ago is VARIAN.

^^ Last one: Donella actually was pretty close to wanting to recruit The Alchemist, but when she did a bit more digging and found out he's Ulla's boy, she gave it up instantly.

Varian talks to Ruddiger and Prometheus like they’re people. Hugo thinks it’s kind of sad and funny at the same time.

Nuru is lactose intolerant.

Hugo is really good at sketching. He sketches blueprints for Olivia and pictures of Varian in a small pocket journal

Yong can do a really good bird impression. That’s it.

Don’t kill me for this, but Nuru didn’t crush on Amber at first sight. It took about a couple of meetings post-VAT7K for her to finally start realizing her feelings (events being Varian’s and/or Hugo's birthday, Rapunzel’s coronation, Varigo wedding 👀, reunions, holidays, and library grand opening)

When Varian and Hugo did get married (28 and 29 respectively) it was so incredibly similar to Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding, what with Ruddiger and Olivia being the ring-barers who disappeared halfway through the ceremony and came back covered in mud. The only difference with this wedding was that it only had friends and family and not the entire fucking kingdom. (also this was inspired by JJGGRT's art i saw on pinterest)

I know this is generally accepted by the VAT7K fandom, but Hugo did drop a piano on Eugene’s head during a job when he was like 12. Neither have forgotten and Eugene still hangs it over Hugo’s head when he starts living in the castle. For revenge, Eugene would probably just keep dumping items on Hugo’s head (apples, books, CHAIRS, whatever)

Yong kicks and snores in his sleep, Varian sleep-talks and occasionally walks, Nuru snores but not as loud as Yong, and Hugo is the lightest sleeper of them all (suffering)

Each of them have relatively good voices when it comes to singing, which leads to most nights camping on the road to an improv karaoke night with a guitar Varian brought.

^^ Varian plays guitar and piano, Yong likes the tamborine, Nuru plays the violin, and Hugo plays flute

Yong learns new curse words every time the group has an argument (namely Hugo and Varian, Nuru tries to prevent Yong from hearing them but it doesn’t work)

Varian left his binder on the floor once and Hugo screamed because "cooties" then started complaining because "could you pick up your shit from the floor?? Other people use this caravan too, dumbass".

Nuru is AMAZING at debate. Like, Hugo can bargain and all that, but Nuru will go in complete detail and go on lengthy debates with someone if given the chance, and often about the smallest topic.

Nuru was the hairstylist of the team. That was how she kept Hugo's undercut the same and Varian's hair the same length. She tried to keep Yong's hair clean and un-messed, but his explosions never helped and he liked it blown back, so she let him be, onlly trimming his hair every few months.

^^ Nuru’s hair changes every day, the only time it’s the same is during the trials.

Varian bakes for the team. He absolutely cannot cook but Hugo can. Nuru was never allowed to make her own food in the castle and Yong only knows few recipes.

Some days, Varian will wake up first with the brightest, happy-go-lucky attitude ever known (thanks rapunzel) and then other days he won’t wake up until the moment they’re about to leave, groaning and dragging his body around like a zombie

The team lowkey forgot about their birthdays on the road, so when Rapunzel found out about this she dropped EVERYTHING and planned the most spontaneous and biggest birthday party for four people.

Yong keeps rocks from every kingdom and trial they visit.

Team Radical stayed in Corona’s castle for a week after the events at the Eternal Library to recover, then were sent home.

^^ Yong and Nuru actually became ambassadors and librarians of the Eternal Library, just from far away. Hugo stayed with Varian in the castle tho.

For maybe the first month, or longer, Hugo struggled with adapting to palace life and Varian’s forgiveness. It took multiple late night talks, awkward conversations, and kidnappings to a storage closet for Hugo to realize Varian will not dump him to the curb. ever.

Yong and Nuru almost wept tears of sorrow when they realized that leaving Corona meant saying goodbye to Attila's cupcakes. Now everytime they reunite every few months, they go to get cupcakes and sit in a garden to yap.

Varian taught Hugo the Coronian style of dance (aka: the dances you see in the movie and such) and now everytime Corona has their spontaneous dances, Varian has to drag Hugo into them. Eugene and Rapunzel experience deja vu.

Hugo and Varian go to Ingvarr often to say hi to Donella :) Hugo likes to bug her every now and then, and really likes sending useless scrolls that would say shit like “I need toilet paper” or “tell cyrus he stinks” idk

^^ Varian also did something similar along the journey. He'd write letters back to his father and the rest back in Corona every week (if he didn't, Eugene and Rapunzel threatened search parties instantly). Anyways, he sent normal updates to his dad, but the ones to the castle said really stupid stuff to troll Eugene and Lance mostly. "Look behind you, Eugene." and "DO NOT TOUCH MY LAB, LANCE. I SEE YOU" (extra: "hi raps i hope youre having a good time :) i miss you <3")

^^ In retaliation, Varian was sent letters that contained crude, horribly drawn images by Eugene or Lance or Angry and Catalina. Most of the time it was Eugene complaining with a small scratchy figure of Angry in the corner doing the middle finger. Varian keeps every one. Once he was sent an entire rat tail.

Nuru is still the diplomatic, navigator, and probably the most mature of the group, but she has her silly moments like yapping about her astronomy knowledge to Varian, collecting every candle she comes across in the markets, and having a celebrity crush on the famous vigilante of the Seven Kingdoms (Cassandra)

When or if they ever ran into The Spire along their journey, Hugo was most likely to commit a murder.

Hugo is the type to put on a brave face around Varian Post-VAT7K when it comes to “romancing”. He’ll act all flirtatious and confident but will instantly lose it when Varian responds with his own flirting. Hugo will not be able to speak for a good ten minutes after, reduced to incoherent sentences.

Varian is unarguably the strongest of the group, having grown up on a farm and spent a year in prison, so he tends to effortlessly lift logs, supplies, and Yong, Nuru, and Hugo whenever. Varian would only lift others if he finds them asleep in odd places, which is often.

Nuru also brought tons of coins with her when she joined the party, so the group didn’t have to worry about food or supplies after her. Perks of royalty on your team.

When Hugo and Varian were revealed to be dating in the castle, Hugo was BOMBARDED WITH THREATS AND SHOVELTALK FOR DAYS. Mainly from Eugene because he holds the biggest grudge against him, Rapunzel was mostly polite about it, Cassandra was scary, BUT QUIRIN WAS TERRIFYING. HE PROBABLY DIDNT EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE JUST GAVE HUGO THE DEADLIEST STARE EVER AND HE HAD TO SAY "Yyyyes sir........." WITHOUT SOBBING

^^ This was similar for Varian when it came to Donella, who threatened to "ambush him, slit his throat, chop up his body, and throw every piece into bags in the ocean where you will remain if you dare break his heart". Um.

In the end, both boys are less scared to death and more annoyed than anything else so they hide in the (now shared) laboratory until everything dies down.

Post-VAT7K, Hugo and Nuru are more like siblings than ever before but neither would admit that.

Varian has an intense sweet tooth, Hugo likes salt. A lot. Nuru and Yong love spice. Because of this, dinners are a constant battle for what flavor or kind of food to make.

Yong, Hugo and Varian would keep getting arrested at nearly every city, town or kingdom they enter for their criminal actions (Yong is an arsonist. okay.) and Nuru has to constantly intervene saying "Actually, I'm the Kotoian Princess, and these are my........ assistants. They are simpletons, but knowledgeable in the outside world, do forgive them." "okya then why do they look like the guys we've been hearing about in the area?" "dunno."

Weapon choice

Varian’s weapon of choice: Alchemy staff + bombs

Hugo’s weapon of choice: Double daggers and alchemy bombs

Nuru’s weapon of choice: Fencing sword, but she gets an actual sword after they reach the Dark Kingdom (Thank you, Adira)

Yong’s weapon of choice: Firecrackers, fireworks, dynamite, bombs, wtvr

"Episode" ideas

At one point, Team Radical finds the Hook Brothers while they’re on tour, so they get a break and cool singing/dance montage yay!

They accidentially find Cassandra too. She almost attacks them until she noticed Varian and yay reunion!! (The rest are panicking in the background because who the hell is this woman who jumped out of the trees with a horse and owl)

Mandatory Andrew + Saporians run-in, Yong blows them up.

I do think the Baron or Anthony would try to yank Varian away because of his old criminal status (whether it be for his intelligence or something else, you choose) but really nobody is having that and it’s stopped easily.

There are some points in battles (against whoever really, Donella’s men most of the time) where Team Radical would have to lock in and when I say lock in, I MEAN IT. THEY CAN BE REALLY FUCKING TERRIFYING IF THEY ARE PUSHED TO THAT LIMIT. but rlly theyre staying silly most of the time. but still……………….

Varian gets to know his Mother’s side of the family more, he formally meets his aunt and uncles in the Dark Kingdom, has the biggest reunion with his family when they return to Corona, and none of the team can comphrehend how big this family is.

^^ Hugo was also really fucking spooked when he saw Quirin. He still is.

MY MOST FAVORITE IDEA PLEASE LISTEN TO IT OHMYGOD: so Team Radical somehow transports themselves back in time by like 3-4 years. This makes them encounter Rapunzel and Co. during Season 2, aka, when they still think Varian was a murderous traitor, and that was a whole experience they had to fix before returning back to the present.

^^ I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT AN EPISODE WHERE the wand of oblivium returns and Varian’s memory was erased to the point where he’s 14 and out for blood and Team Radical has to experience the wrath of a boy who wants his father back. It’s fixed in the end.

Yong runaway episode. He feels like a burden to the others and leaves the party to “help”. Varian and Yong bonding in the end :)

I know this is a really far stretch, but the House of Yesterday’s Tomorrow episode. I don’t want to explain this just plaese HEAR ME OUTTTT

Ruddiger speaking. He and olivia get a voice for like. a day.

^^ ACTUALLY BETTER IDEA: Ruddiger, Prometheus and Olivia as human and Varian, Hugo, Yong, and Nuru as animals for an episode. The animals-turned-humans have to find a cure before the humans-turned-animals turn FULL ANIMAL (can you tell I was inspired by the bird episode from S2)

A BODY SWAP EPISODE??? LMAOAOOA LIKE Nuru > Hugo / Hugo > Yong / Yong > Varian / Varian > Nuru

Moon powers Varian. That's it, that's the idea.

dude when one of the cities the team stops in, Nuru gets a full on break from everything and chills the entire time; spa, massage, sauna, everything. Meanwhile, the boys are.... probably suffering elsewhere I haven't decided yet

Team Radical stopped at a beach for like two days and at least one person almost drowned, whoever that may be is up to you.

Nuru introduces coffee to the group when she joins, then Varian and Hugo get ADDICTED and she and Yong have to pry their disgusting hands from the coffee. It's thrown out maybe two weeks later, being replaced by tea and hot cocoa.
