I haven’t used my tumblr in so long! gosh. But I just really wanted to contribute to the fandom while I still could, now that Tangled is over.
this series means a lot to me! for a lot of reasons. So I wanted to share some of the fanart I’ve done of my three favorite characters :) they are all the personification of chaotic good haha
Rapunzel had decided that today was a mental health day. Which meant no royal duties for her, no guard duties for Eugene, and she’d made Hugo and Varian close the Library and stay out of their lab. She’d said that they all spent too much time working and not enough time bonding as a family. Varian noticed Hugo looking shocked she’d included him in her definition of ‘family’.
Rapunzel mandated that they do nothing that day so that left them to lounge around, reading or doing other activities that counted as ‘family bonding’ in one of the sitting rooms.
Hours had gone by, the sun had long since disappeared behind the wall of Corona and a fire was blazing the fireplace to keep out the chilling frost creeping along the windows.
Varian and Hugo were cuddled by the fire, reading a book together as the quietness of the room settled in comfortably. Varian rested his head on his boyfriend’s shoulder as his eyes scanned the page, hand curling around Hugo’s.
Behind them, Rapunzel was watching with a soft smile. She enjoyed getting to know her little brother’s boyfriend. Hugo was alot less of a jerk than he pretended to be, and he genuinely cared for and loved Varian. She was happy they were happy.
The two suddenly broke out into laughter, calming down after a few seconds, though smiles were still evident on their faces.
“That’s the dumbest thing someone could do.” Hugo said as Varian let out a few more giggles by pressing his forehead against Hugo’s shoulder. “Wow, what even is this book? Are you telling me you actually like this?”
Varian laughed again. “Yeah, I do. I swear I will make you like these books even if it kills me.”
Hugo rolled his eyes and pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Don’t be dramatic, Goggles. That’s my job.”
Varian smiled and scooted a little bit closer to him. “And you’re pretty good at it.” He pecked the blond’s lips chastly. “Seriously, tell me one thing about the Flynn Rider books you actually like.”
Hugo thought for a moment before smiling. “I like that they make you happy?” He laughed when Varian punched his arm. “No, really. You always get this cute smile when you’re reading the books and I like seeing you smile.” He kissed Varian again, just a tad deeper than the first time. “I like anything that makes you happy.”
Varian looked into his eyes for a few seconds before grinning. “Then stop with the self-deprecating comments.” He poked his chest. “Especially stuff about the Library.”
Hugo stared at him for a moment before laughing and kissing him again. “Okay, you win. I’ll stop.”
That seemed to satisfy Varian as he didn’t say anything else, instead opting to kiss his boyfriend again. Hugo quickly pulled him a little closer, Varian pushing his glasses onto his head as he pressed in a little deeper. Both forgot there were other people in the room.
Eugene was about to say something in objection to their PDA but Rapunzel shushed him.
“No, they’re enjoying themselves.” She whispered and turned her attention back to her book.
Eugene huffed but said nothing as Varian and Hugo continued to makeout.
After a few minutes they finally parted, smiles on their faces. Varian started to lean in again but Eugene cleared his throat in annoyance.
“Are you two done yet?”
Varian glared at him and then placed a long, loud, and wet kiss on Hugo’s lips. When he pulled away, Hugo looked rather dazed.
Varian sat back and gave Eugene a look. “Now we’re done.”
Eugene rolled his eyes but looked back at his book.
Varian scooted towards Hugo again and cuddled into him once more, bringing their book back over. “Okay, where were we?”
Hugo stared at him for a while, eyes searching Varian’s face.
Varian looked at him and smiled. “You good there, Glasses?”
Hugo took a moment to respond, a light smile coming to his face. “I’m fine Goggles. Just wondering where in the world you learned to kiss like that?”
Varian giggled and pecked his lips. “About a year of alot of practice?” He smiled and nuzzled his nose against Hugo’s, one of their favorite ways to show affection besides kissing. “Helps that I had a good teacher.” Varian kept his voice low so the rest of his family wouldn’t hear.
Hugo was aware of the flush of red coating his cheeks. “Hope you’re talking about me…”
Varian laughed again, subconsciously leaning in. “Oh trust me, I am.”
Just before their lips connected they heard Eugene sigh loudly with exasperation.
“If you two are going to start making out again, please go do it in another room.”
Hugo gave him a sly grin. “Why? Does it bother you?”
Eugene glared at him. “Does it bother me that I have to watch someone I greatly dislike kiss my brother? Yes, yes it does.”
Hugo very pointedly pulled Varian closer to him, never breaking eye contact with the man on the couch. “Then don’t watch.”
Varian laughed and pushed Hugo’s face away. “Okay, okay. Don’t make him homicidal. I’ll kiss you some more later.”
Hugo looked back at his boyfriend and gave him a lopsided grin. “Fine then, deal?”
Varian smiled and shook Hugo’s hand and pecked his cheek. This was their way of avoiding ‘I promise’. “Deal.”
“Good, I’ll hold you to that.”
Varian had to hold back from making an inappropriate remark, reminding himself he couldn’t make those kinds of jokes in front of his family. Instead he simply smiled and kissed Hugo’s cheek again. “I love you.”
Hugo’s grin softened into a loving smile as he gently brushed Varian’s hair away from his face. “I love you too.”
Hugo may have been a thief and a liar, but he would never lie about how much he loved Varian.
