mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the nerdiest of them all ? | ( *· aesthetic .· )
necessary context for each picture so there’s a clearer understanding comes next so if you’d like to read a detailed description, go for it y’all.
hands: given how he’s often working with unstable essences and materials, it’s normal to see varian with bandages all over his fingers, if not his whole hands. somehow he’s managed to keep them despite many things exploding time and time again over the years but, well.
hair: similar to the series, he wears his hair relatively long by the bangs but the rest has changed so it fits more his mature stage, in which its shorter on the back. despite this, it’s still pretty fluffy and from time to time he’ll dye a streak of his hair muted blue.
style: for the most part, he’s laid back in what he wears as he has no idea what’s currently fashionable anymore. basic jeans, preferably darker or black are his go to, along with a pull over with muted or earthy tones are also a must. and of course, a shit ton of flannels.
shoes: given that he was never used to drive in his hometown, given how small it was, varian’s more the type to use his skateboard to get anywhere he needs to go, and there to match his need, are his very trusty vans that he wears practically on the daily, and if not, combat boots are an option too.
glasses: although his precious blue eyes are amazing and his eyesight ain’t that bad, varian spends a lot of time reading and fixing or tampering with tiny objects, so he can often be seen wearing his reading glasses just because. likewise, whenever he needs more of an enhanced image, he’ll pull out his steampunk visors made specifically for his use so he can tweak whatever comes up.
beard: it’s no secret that varian can barely grow a mustache and a beard, but he sure tries, considering he’s obsessed with not looking like a teenager anymore. these few hairs will take about a week to resemble the picture, so for the most part he’s clean shaven unless he’s working on something delicate that takes up most of his time.
