forget-me-not

realized i havent shared this one here yet :> a wip from 2023 that i finally brushed up and finished a couple months ago. really happy with the outcome <3 the original idea was lupines, but i decided to make them forget-me-nots with @o0whiterabbit0o's fic in mind instead, since in her story those flowers are important to varian :) it ended up being a lot easier to draw, too, loL

i know the widely accepted fanon is that varian just fucking hates magic and refuses to believe in it which IS objectively very funny, considering he lives in an explicitly magical world, and i do fully believe he’d be stubborn enough to stick to that belief despite all evidence pointing otherwise, HOWEVER, i have a different approach that’s just slightly harder to explain but i do find equally funny

I don’t think varian DOESN’T BELIEVE in magic, i think he doesn’t when he’s younger but he’s eventually forced to accept it. I do think he doesn’t believe in magic like. Existing in a vacuum.

Essentially i think varian is incredibly firm on this mindset that magic is just science they don’t understand yet, which frankly, isn’t Wrong. Humans inherently want to understand things and in the real world TONS of shit we obviously have scientific explanations for Now were just chalked up to supernatural occurrences. I can totally see it being the same in fantasy worlds too bc they usually take place in a medieval esque environment

it’a not that varian doesn’t believe in magic or hates it as a concept, it’s quite the opposite. it’s that he hates magic being treated as a separate thing from science bc in his mind they’re the same. Nobody dares utter a word around him that might potentially trigger the hour long rant of “EVERYONE wants to call everything magic as if magic actually means anything but nothings inherently magic because its just a word to describe things we don’t understand and EVERYONE SAYS IM CRAZY FOR THIS BUT NOBODY FUCKING GETS I—”
