still thinking about hugo and varian meeting a few years earlier.
like, maybe hugo ran away from donella, maybe he just decided to go off on his own for a little bit and she let him
but somehow he ends up in old corona right after the water tanks explode. comes across varian cleaning it up and thinks ‘hey here’s a sucker who might have some spare coin to steal from.’
tries to start up conversation
Hugo: oh man, must suck to be the guy who caused this mess.
Varian: …you’re looking at him. and yeah. it does.
and hugo is instantly intrigued bc hey? this kid did all this? he’s impressed, even if it did blow up, the technology in the bits that remain seems so detailed. they talk as hugo get roped into helping him, and the guy is just so animated and nerdy and outgoing.
eventually night falls and hugo is like ‘shit i have to get to an inn or a barn or something.’ and varian realizes that he’s a traveler
he excitedly grabs his arm and just drags him back to his place
Varian: DAD! Dad can my new friend stay here, his name is hugo and he helped me clean up!
bc varian just thinks everyone is his friend at that point in his life. hugo gets to stay, quirin is pleased that varian found someone to talk to, and hugo is slowly falling more and more for this awkward lil guy
when the Bad Shit goes down, he’s there by his side, and probably makes things worse tbh bc he tells varian that he came from a place where people were treated like trash, thought he could escape it, but all kingdoms are the same and he doesn’t want what happened to him to happen to Varian
promises that no matter what varian does, he’s going to help him fix this. they’re going to stick together through thick and thin
and then oop attempted regicide
I feel like we as a community moved on from this image way too quickly. like are you kidding me?? the wink!?! BYLERS I'M AFRAID WE WILL NEVER LEARN WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE!!!
I feel like the biggest mischaracterization I see of Steve Rogers is that he is this rule following conservative guy. Like no, did we watch the same movies? This man breaks every rule he can. He hates the government. He also is not a bigot at all. He has his own moral code and does everything based on it.
forced to say bruh 🙁
born to say :3
And Mike will show off that painting everytime
Odysseus: "I would trade the world do see my son and wife"
The Olympians, Ithacan crew, and EPIC fans: "Sounds legit"
Odysseus: "I'll become the monster"
The Olympians, Ithacan crew, and EPIC fans: "Go ahead"
Odysseus: *does something monstrous so he can see his son and wife*
The Olympians, Ithacan crew, and EPIC fans: "Ody what the hell"
