#Varian’s Heather moment

[incorrect-virian-quotes]

I’ve been listening to “Juliet” by Cavetown and “Heather” by Conan Gray on repeat and I got this idea for an AU of sorts. Just Varian having an unrequited love moment about Violet. Hurts more if they’re good friends.

Varian supporting Violet’s huge crush on Tony, but wanting to beat him up because he wishes that was him instead. And he wants to tell Violet that Tony isn’t a good person, probably doesn’t even like her, but can’t risk upsetting her by saying things like that. So instead he monitors Tony to satisfy his own jealous thoughts, only to see Tony is actually a decent human being and treats Violet well.

But then Violet and Tony end up breaking up somewhere down the line, maybe after a nasty fight or something more tame, and Violet just cries to Varian because that’s her friend obviously. And Varian is happy about this but…at the same time, still wants to beat up Tony for doing that? Like no matter how this went, Varian wanted to rock Tony’s shit.

So he comforts her, and is there for her as usual. But it still hurts because even in all this, she’d still never consider him. There will be another partner that isn’t him, or she and Tony will get back together, and he’ll still be her good friend. Like he’s just there to help her heal while he’s actively falling apart because of her.

And because of that post about Varian hating his looks, he’d start thinking that’s the problem too. Tony is this pretty boy with loads of friends and admirers, while Varian is a science dork that locks himself in his lab and, according to him, doesn’t look half as good as anyone else. (A fucking lie, duh.)

I’m sobbing if you couldn’t already tell lol

[pumkinbones]

Ran had come over to the Mist per a very adamant request from a certain Viera over linkshell. Varian had finally finished moving in and wanted his friend to admire his decorating. To which a small tour was in order.

It didn't take long but Varian insisted there was one more thing. He moved the Au Ra to the one bare spot against the wall instructing him not to move. Ran obliged with a raised brow and a smirk, leaning against the cool stone pillar as the other ran off in search.

"Ah ha! See here, I think you'll appreciate this." Varian said as he carried over a lalafellin step stool and placed it at his feet. He swiftly jumped on top and leaned forward, his hands clapping against the stone on either side of Ran's head.

At first Ran desperately wanted to laugh, but he found the close proximity rather distracting and his face mirrored this, only finding focus in those bright green eyes. "Yes, I do... But why not just make yourself a little taller?" He swallowed thickly.

"Actually... I may have gotten smaller so I could do this." Varian leaned closer, hovering just above his lips. His soft face fitting perfectly between the pale horns.

He wanted to linger and tease but that was not in the cards. Ran seized his chance and closed the distance with the lightest touch. Varian pressed back into those heather lips, full of desire, yearning for this closeness. How he wished for this moment.

For a real kiss.

Which Epic songs and animatics do you like best so far?

Well, you know this one, with "Ruthlessness". I have watched it over and over so many times that it's hard to compare it to others. But, I'm eager to see what WolfytheWitch comes up with. Honestly, though, that's probably the only one I particularly like of the Ocean Saga. Speaking of WolfytheWitch, I really love their animatics for "Warrior of the Mind" and "My Goodbye". Actually, I'd say that I watch their animatics the most. I also like "Open Arms", it's a fun little song and I actually had it on repeat while working on my DemonDipper&GoddessMabel picture that I posted recently. It also makes me think of Rapunzel and Cassandra during "Freebird", up until the lotus-eaters part. Another song I like, that is a little underappreciated, is "Fight Little Wolf". In a sort of unrelated but also kind of related note, I kind of picture these kinds of moment with Varian and Eugene during the week he kept trying to go back to the Capital. That reminds me, I need to go back to writing that... And then there's the two Hermes songs which are just...a vibe. Here's a bonus animatic of "Dangerous" by the same person that did the second animatic I linked with "Wouldn't you like". I don't like it as much as the first, but it's still cute. "King" is always cool to listen to, and I'm looking forward to it being finished so we can hear it's final version. "Hold Them Down" has some interesting animatics, but this song, especially the second part, makes me feel ick like "Blue" from Heathers. It's an intensely uncomfortable song to listen to. "Polyphemus", "Survive" and "Remember Them" are all really intense songs, and I don't really listen to them unless I'm watching an animatic. Then there's some songs I'm not especially fond of but have some cool animatics, like "Penelope: The Challenge", "God Games", "Done For", and "There Are Other Ways". I dunno, I just don't care for those as much as the other ones. Though, "Done For" is wriggling its way into being one I like. "There Are Other Ways" is giving me "Say No to This" vibes, though he at least had the decency to not do anything without being blackmailed into it.

Special mention for "Legendary". It's a neat song, but I don't know if it's a fave yet. The animatic is cute, though, and I'm looking forward to the final recording. I am not even going to touch on the Troy Saga songs. They're good, they are, they just...it makes me want to punch Zeus in the nuts with a battering ram for making him do that. And there's some really good animatics for them I have seen, but I can't bear to rewatch them after the first time. I really can't. As a mother, seeing him drop that poor baby...it's too much for me. Well, aside from "Full Speed Ahead", that's a good song. Wait, is that in the Ocean Saga? It might be. Since most of the musical isn't done, it's hard to know my final opinion on it, but this is what I think so far.

Hiccup headcanon that’s already sorta canon:

He’s really good at archery. Like really good. Like can-hit-a-bullseye-while-flying-on-the-back-of-one-of-the-fastest-dragons-known-to-man good. Well, maybe not a full speed, but you get the point. When he was designing his shield, a built-in bow/catapult was the #1 thing he wanted it to have because carrying an entire bow around every mission along with the shield would be too much of a pain. He discovered this talent when he was little, but he was never that proud of it because it wasn’t a big heavy weapon so he thought it wouldn’t impress people much because his strength was his biggest weakness at that point. After he trained the dragons, he realized exact how good he was (back to the can-hit-a-bullseye-while-flying-on-the-back-of-one-of-the-fastest-dragons-known-to-man thing again). He doesn’t use this talent that much on missions because, well, he’s got a flying war machine.

If Hiccup lived now he would definitely be one of those ppl who have headphones in 90 percent of the time.

I hate how Httyd 3 is just like bad fanfiction. Everything is ooc where do I even start? Toothless playing stupid games with grimmel when it would’ve taken one shot to annihilate the old man. Toothless not absolutely destroying the light fury the second she shot at Hiccup. The dragon riders just letting the mind-controlled deathgrippers get crushed and electrocuted when all they had to do is take the tube off of them and bam new dragons on their side. Why exactly is Berk overpopulated??? What happened to dragon island??? What happened to all the other islands Hiccup has on his map??? What happened to the giant mountain of empty space that they just aren’t using??? You’re telling me not ONE of those places can house the dragons??? Where exactly are their allies? I get that they weren’t there in the second movie because rtte didn’t exist yet but why not now? The third movie was supposed to be more for the ppl who have been in this fandom for years so why not give them their allies from the series? I’m just mad, this wasn’t what we wanted nor what we deserved.

My #1 post of 2022

I’ve always loved the foreshadowing in Httyd 1 in that scene when the terrible terrors were trying to steal fish from Toothless so he shoots a little fireball in its mouth and it lit the gas inside of him (or however that works idk dragon biology) and Hiccup said “not so fireproof on the inside, huh?” and then at the end of the movie in the battle with the Red Death instead of trying to hit it on the outside (because he knew that wouldn’t work) he shot it on the inside only this time it’s big dragon so big explosion. I just think that highlights how observant and resourceful Hiccup is because that was one moment on a random day that most of us would’ve forgotten and he remembered it while fighting the biggest dragon he’s ever seen in his life and used it. Hiccup is so cool.

2020 Reading Challenge Report

I really liked it last year when I made a spread in my journal with my best of books for 2019. So here’s my best of for 2020. 

I was WAY surprised that all my favorite books this year were non-fiction. That doesn't mean I didn’t read any good fiction this year, I definitely did. But the truly outstanding, five star books were all non-fiction. This is super weird for me because I never used to read non-fiction unless it was for school. But last year I made a deal with myself that I should have a non-fiction book as at least one of my books-in-progress at all times. I continued that rule this year and wow have I read some great stuff as a result. 

Metrics:

Total books read in 2020: 87 

If you remove all the books I read with kids, that’s 64. If you remove the books I read with kids and also graphic novels (which—despite being books, goddamn it—admittedly take a lot less time to read), I read 45 books this year.  I refuse to remove the audiobooks because that’s hella insulting.  Audiobooks are books.

One thing I noticed this year is that before I counted, I was under the impression that I had read a lot of books by Black authors this year, but I hadn't. In fact, it was far fewer than last year. I think part of what was internally confusing was that because two of my books were Caste and The Warmth of Other Suns, both substantial (in the thinking sense and the length sense), at any given time this year, I was reading at least one book by a Black author. So that skewed my thinking. Still, fewer than 10% Black authors is a poor metric.

Another thing I noticed was that cancelled plans for 10 months also means cancelled car trips (yay!) and cancelled audiobook listenings (boo!) So that cut into my total a bit, not listening to books as much with the kids. But I'm looking forward to lots more reading in the new year! Including finishing a bunch of books the kids and I are reading for school and tons of stuff for work. Because I like to have things going on every burner, there are 10 books in progress at the moment, about half of them for school.

I Wish I Were Heather

Hello! Another varigo fanfiction! And it’s a songfic too ( Heather - Conan Gray). I’m kinda nervous to post this one because its got the first ever kiss scene I’ve written in it and I didn’t have time to edit it, sadly. But here!

Also can I just say I’m really grateful for the reception of my first one? Thank you so so much! 

---------------------------------

  Once you get to know him, Hugo isn’t so bad. At least that’s what Varian thinks. He knows there would be countless protests from Nuru about how “people like him never change” and that “he’s just conning us” but...Varian neglected to believe them. He trusted Hugo more than anything, especially after the blonde saved him during the trial in the Earth kingdom. 

  He should have listened to Nuru’s concerns. “It’s not safe.” she’d said. “There’s another way round, this way just isn’t safe!”, but he ignorantly brushed her worries aside. After all, the totem was right there. If he could just reach out and-

  He felt himself stumble forward. His feet lost their grip on the floor. Falling. Once solid ground had seemingly disappeared from under him and he began his descent. Gloved hands reached out desperately for something, anything, to hold onto. And they found something.

  Hugo’s worried face stared back at him, a previously unseen determination in his eyes as he gripped onto Varian’s arms with urgency and pulled him up as fast as he could. Varian steadied himself to stand on the platform after the ordeal. “That was close-” he began to say before his words were cut short. He was pulled into a tight embrace by Hugo, who was still unresponsive. It ended as quickly as it was initiated (much to Varian’s disappointment) as the older teen stood up and extended his arm, grabbing the totem and wordlessly turning away to leave. 

  Yong ran into his arms and held onto him, a steady flow of tears trailing down his cheeks as he gripped to Varian’s shirt so tightly as if he thought he’d magically disappear if he let go. He prepared himself for a scolding as Nuru made her way over, however all he received was a tight embrace from the princess. All he could focus on, however, was his saviour. Hugo looked down at him and gave a small reassuring smile. It was so much different from his usual smiles...it felt softer. With more meaning. Affectionate. Hugo then turned away, and Varian could feel his cheeks heat up in embarrassment. 

  “Okay, time to go. Hopefully goggles won’t decide to have another near death experience on the way to Lunaris.” The blonde called out smugly, heading to the exit of the trial. Huh. So back to normal it was, then. The others seemed to agree too, all breaking their embrace and following behind the older teen.

  “Hey Nuru, are we gonna be there soon?” Yong complained from the back of Prometheus, Ruddiger curled up in his lap asleep. He usually rode on Prometheus with the others on foot, constantly complaining about his legs hurting or ankles hurting..not that it bothered anyone, of course. He was a joy to have around - always working on his fireworks and assisting Varian with his projects. Full of wonder and excitement. Just like he was before...well, everything.

  “Yes Yong, we’ll be there in a few minutes!” the princess replied from where she was leading the group. Nuru, in many ways, was an extremely valuable member to their team, acting as the navigator and the diplomat to them. The only downside was she wasn’t too trusting, specifically of..

  “Finally. You have no idea how much my legs are killing!” Hugo’s voice rang through his ears as he began to walk forward. Ah yes. Hugo. He was certainly a...character. Sure, he was rude, sarcastic and generally saw people as a way to get what he wants, but something about him made Varian feel all bubbly and flustered. It wasn’t that he was ugly either, with his undercut and sharp features and beautiful, emerald eyes...

  “Earth to Hairstripe?” Hugo called out, waving a hand in front of his face. Varian flinched backwards with his face reddening and heating up upon realising he was staring. “Damn, get someone to paint a portrait of me. It’ll last longer and be marginally less creepy.” The blonde laughed, a wide smirk on his face. Yet again, Varian felt his face heat up (but from anger! DEFINITELY not from embarrassment!) and he rolled his eyes. “You wish I was staring at you. Cmon, let's just go.” He mumbled and picked up his pace, trying to distance himself from Hugo.

  Within 10 minutes, they were in the city. Streets were bustling with carts set up akin to a makeshift market, with people weaving in and out of the streets. Children ran and played amongst themselves, Yong looking down on them from Prometheus’ back and desperate to join them. As they ventured further into the city, the number of people died out and allowed them a moment of silence amongst the chaos they’d arrived at. Varian tied up Prometheus in the town’s stables, setting down some apples for him to eat, with Ruddiger crawling onto his shoulders as they headed to the inn where the others were waiting.

  What he was greeted with was...surprising to say the least.

  Leaning against the counter was Hugo, seemingly small talking to a raven haired girl standing behind a counter. Her blue eyes shut and her head tilted back as she laughed at whatever he’d just said, a smile creeping onto the blonde’s face. Anger bubbled at the bottom of his stomach as he made his way over to the pair, a frown covering his features. Who even was this girl? 

  “Ah, goggles. Pleasure to finally see you show up.” Hugo started, smirking down at Varian. Varian raised his eyebrow and gestured to the girl on the other side of the counter. “This is Heather. She’s the owner of this fine establishment, and she’s invited us for a tour of town AND to see the fireworks celebrating the king’s birthday with her tomorrow. Amazing, right?” the other finished, resting his hand on top of Heather’s gently. 

  Heather nodded quickly and intertwined her fingers with Hugo’s. Varian bit the inside of his cheek, cringing at the metallic taste of blood quickly filling his mouth. “Oh yeah, definitely. Sounds..perfect.” he muttered before heading back over to sit with Nuru and Yong. As the two younger teens chattered, his gaze met Hugo and Heather again. They looked so happy..just those two talking. Hugo threw his head back in laughter and Varian felt his heart soar, but drop immediately after. It wasn’t fair. Why couldn’t he make Hugo react like that? Wait-why was he even feeling this way? What even WAS this feeling? 

  Varian groaned and stood up. “I’m going to my room.” he declared, taking his key from Nuru before she could protest and making his way past the seating area in the tavern to the dark oak stairs. Trekking up them, he walked down the hall to his room and immediately after unlocking it, he flopped back onto his bed. What was happening to him? Why was he so upset? Hugo was happy, and he should be too, so why did it feel like he was dying?

  His mind drifted to Hugo and Heather. He had no reason to hate her - for all he knew, she’d done nothing wrong at all. He pulled a pillow close to his chest and curled up slightly, hugging it as tight as he could. Heather...she was beautiful. More beautiful than he was handsome. The kind of beautiful that only came about in a lifetime. Hugo deserved someone like her - someone just as beautiful as he was. Wait- since when did he think Hugo was beautiful? Varian shoved his face into the pillow and screamed into it in frustration and anger. When did he even think like this? 

  “I’m staying. This is my family. I want to stay here.” he’d addressed the group in the living room of his cousin’s shack as they all prepared to depart and begin to head to Lunaris. His uncle placed a hand on his shoulder, a slight smile on his face. But of course Hugo was the first to speak up.

  “Really, Varian? You’re just gonna toss us aside like we don’t matter? What about your mother? Does that not matter to you either?” He spat, his anger and betrayal obvious on his face, his voice echoing off the thin, wooden walls. “After everything we’ve all done, you’re just leaving us? Yknow what- forget it. Yong, Nuru. Cmon. We have some trials to finish. Unlike some.” he added spitefully, turning on his heel and heading out of the door. 

  “What about us? Aren’t we your family?” Nuru asked, searching his eyes for something he couldn’t quite understand before she sighed and nodded, taking Yong’s hand. “I see how it is. Goodbye Varian.” she sighed and followed in Hugo’s footsteps, leaving the shack and pulling Yong along beside her.

  He didn’t understand. He was with his family again. He could be happy. He belonged here. Why did he feel so empty? So alone? He finally found somewhere that appreciated and needed his skills so why did he feel more isolated and hurt than ever? His uncle’s voice broke his thoughts and he turned his head to look at him. 

  “You don’t have to choose. We’re always going to be here when you get back. But those friends of yours? You can tell that they love you. As much as they don’t want to admit it, they need you there with you. Whatever you choose, we’ll support you but..we’re always going to be here.” 

  Varian’s eyebrows furrowed in thought, at war with himself. Hugo’s face wouldn’t leave his mind - looking as though Varian had stabbed him and proceeded to twist the knife. It didn’t look right for Hugo to be sad. He was too beautiful to be sad. Nuru and Yong’s reaction didn’t make it any easier either...Varian paused for a second before making his final decision. Hastily, he picked his bag up from the floor along with Ruddiger, pausing only to look up at his uncle. “I’ll come back soon. I promise.” He swore, smiling and running across the creaking floor to the crunching dirt outside. If he ran fast enough, he could catch up with the others. Hopefully they’d let him join them again. He prayed they would. 

  Ah. So that’s when. Varian groaned and shoved the pillow back into its original place on the bed, his eyes fixated on the ceiling in silence. Stupid Hugo making him feel stupid feelings towards him. It wasn’t fair. An exhausted sigh left his lips as he lay back on the bed. Maybe it’d be different tomorrow? 

  Tomorrow, as it turns out, was not different. At all.

  Their tour started off fun - Heather showing them landmarks in the city and talking about the history of the town. Varian tried to pay attention, he really did, but it was a strenuous task when all he could focus on was the way Hugo’s arm was around her. How he laughed when she made a joke and added the occasional quip here and there. It was a beautiful display to any outside, but to Varian…

It was suffocating.

  It continued like that throughout the day. Hugo and Heather being all lovey-dovey while Varian felt himself slowly dying. She really did have him mesmerised, didn’t she? Another laugh sounded out from her, as he glanced over in their direction. “Hey, how about we go watch the fireworks?” Heather questioned, the others agreeing in unison. Slowly, they began the journey to Lachlan’s Hill.

The hill in question was on the outskirts of town, but it was apparently the best place to watch the fireworks from according to Heather. In all fairness, the view was stunning. The whole town was illuminated by lanterns and street lights. All he could focus on was the way Hugo and Heather cuddled and stayed close to each other, preparing for the fireworks display. It hurt Varian to no end. He let out another sigh, tears welling in his eyes as Hugo wrapped his jacket around her. 

  That was the final straw.

  Varian stood up, tears now rolling down his cheeks as he grabbed his things and stormed away. He didn’t bother to pay attention as the others told him to come back. He just wanted to go home. He couldn’t sit there and watch it anymore. He didn’t understand. It’s just polyester, he kept repeating to himself. It’s just polyester so why are you so upset? He slumped down by a tree, sliding to the floor with his back pressed against it. Only then did he let himself truly cry. 

  “Okay, what’s going on in that head of yours?” Hugo’s voice asked, low and dripping with concern as he sat beside the raven haired boy on the floor. Varian couldn’t even bring himself to look at the blonde, tears still running down his cheeks. “Varian please, talk to me-”

  “Don’t you see what you’re doing to me, Hugo? How much it’s killing me to see you and her together?” He finally yelled out, interrupting the blonde mid-sentence. “My god, Hugo! To see her laughing and smiling with your arm around her and not a care in the world..it hurts! Seeing you two together feels like a- a stab to the gut! And it sucks because I can’t even hate her! She’s too perfect! She’s everything you deserve, because even though you’re a fucking asshole most of the time, you deserve the best girl in the world!” 

  “Varian-” Hugo tried to interject, but he kept on going. Days of pent up jealousy and anger rearing its ugly head.

“I see why as well! I see why you love her so much and why she loves you so much! She’s so much prettier than me. I don’t even see why you’d ever kiss me, because I’m not even half as beautiful as she is. I just- I WISH I WERE HEATHER!” He yelled out in Hugo’s face, finishing his rambling. 

  Hugo and Varian sat in a shocked silence, their eyes locked before Hugo reached out and intertwined their fingers silently. Gently, he pulled Varian closer to him and raised his hand to his lips before pressing a kiss to his knuckles gently. “I wish you were Heather too.” he whispered under his breath as Varian stared at him with wide eyes. 

  “I..what?” Varian questioned, moving closer to Hugo with his eyes still fixated on the taller male. He was lost for words - how could Hugo feel the same as he did? It just-didn’t make any sense to him at all. He let himself be pulled closer still by Hugo, their chests flush against each other as they looked into each other’s eyes again in silence. Hugo hesitantly broke the silence.

  “I love you, Varian. I really do, but I didn’t think you’d like me back. So I met Heather and she just...she reminded me so much of you. The black hair, blue eyes...tiny build-” He laughed slightly as Varian punched his arm. “What I mean to say is...I was trying to pretend that she was you this whole time. And that I love you.” 

  “I love you too, Hugo.” Varian said with a wide smile, tilting his chin up with his tears stopping. Hugo gently tilted Varian’s chin up, leaning in quietly. Finally their lips met and....nothing Varian had ever experienced could come close to the sensation. They moved against each other like it was just meant to be, in sync and in harmony. Hugo’s hand snaked around his waist as Varian’s arms wrapped around his neck slowly to pull each of them even closer than they were before.

  Eventually, Hugo broke the kiss to take in a breath. “Well, hairstripe. How about we head back and watch the fireworks?” He held out his hand, which he graciously took and let Hugo guide him back to the blanket. After taking a seat on the blanket they’d laid out prior, Hugo put his arm around Varian and pulled him closer. 

  And for the first time in forever...Varian was content to live in the moment.
