Tried to finally give a design to some Tangled (series) OCs of mine.

They're all important people in Aiden's life (my main OC) so their descriptions are mostly built around him.

Alan and Edith are Aiden's parents, they're simple and sweet people, I dont have much to say about them. They're farmers in Old Corona and are old friends of Quirin and Ulla as they arrived in the Light Kingdom around the same time. They tend to keep a low profile but they're not afraid to take matter into their own hands if necessary. When Quirin is busy they tend to fill his role in his absence.

Laurel and Daniel are siblings, they're children of the family in charge of a prominant merchant guild. They both work in the castle at the moment, Laurel as a maid assisting in the physician office specifically, Daniel as a royal guard. Laurel is the eldest of the two and is aware of every gossip going around the castle, she knows everyone. Daniel usually finds people tiring and is rather focus on his duties.

Daniel is Aiden's best friend in the castle, he is usually assigned in escorting them when the young physician is sent to nearby villages for assistance or yearly check ups. However the two met when Daniel was still working for his parents, Aiden needed to pass command for specific herbs and Daniel was the one in charge of taking commands at the time.

Caroline is another friend of Aiden but she is from outside the castle. Officially she works at an inn in a nearby village. Aiden's mentor is close friend with her boss so they used to carry favor for the other, which resulted in Caro and Aiden meeting. Caroline is an enthusiastic and fun woman, she has a reputation of being overconfident but overall people enjoy her company and recognize her hard work.

Hubert is the current royal physician and Aiden's mentor. He was the only doctor who hadn't given up when the queen fell terribly ill, thus he has been the only royal physician for a while. He is known for being stubborn and sometimes reckless. Most of his students ended up sick of him and left to carry their practice elsewhere. At the moment he cannot wait to finally retire and is adamant on making Aiden his last pupil and successor.

THE END-

No, actually, I have so many more to do but its a start. I like them all very much :3 some things might change later (as always) but for now... there you go.

Okay hear me out: airigo college (or boarding school) au where where Aiden and Varian are in a mostly friendly competition for first in the class. Hugo is secretly also in the running and the three tend to switch what place they're in all the time, though they don't know it. Hugo acts like he doesn’t care, never seems sober in class, etc, so Varian and Aiden don't like him much, and Hugo doesn't like how they act like goody two shoes.

UNTIL they have to work together in a group project that makes up a huge portion of their final grade and of course newfound understanding and gay hijinks ensue

I AM LISTENING. I AM ALL EARS.

I love thiiiiiissssss. The lil competition for first place 😭💕 they are such nerds omg. Modern AUs my beloveds! "Mostly friendly competition", I need to know how often they throw hands

Hugo looks like he sleeps in class and will be all "grades are overrated" but he actually pulls all nighters to study at home 😔 "why do you look so tired?" "Partying all night." He is lying. He was building a lego set while listening to science podcasts. Hypocrite much. 🙄

Since they don't know who's actually first do you think they're aware of the competition because the teach is enjoying their shenanigans and alluded to it? Teach liking drama and forcing them to work all together just for funsies haha. All their classmates hate them-

I actually did have a college au forever ago but it was very random (I have no idea how college works 😔) and I scrapped it for the highschool one. But it followed a similar idea of them not getting along before getting stuck together for a group project!

(Doodle from 2021) I went to reread my notes and its so bad- help- your version is much cuter I like it.

#eryanswers #I'd LOVE to rework that one. I love aus too much 😭 I have SO MANY just for them #writingraccoon #airigo #Vat7k aiden #oc x canon #college au #eryanwrites #you should check the comments for more lore building ;)

Thinking of a very random dragqueen varigo au

I have no fancy plot except Hugo doing drag for money (and fun) meanwhile Varian is simply going to the queerbar out of curiosity and he falls head over heels for that one drag queen, he has NO IDEA it's Hugo.

How do they know each other outside of that bar ? I have no clue. Maybe they go to the same university, maybe they're roomates, maybe they're coworkers or something. Either way they supposedly 'hate' eachothers, when really they barely know the other.

I suppose at some point Varian manages to make a move on the drag queen he admires so much, and they get to talk more in that bar. Back to everyday life and Hugo tries SO HARD to act normal. Time passes and Varian keeps on visiting the bar and they get closer and oh no Hugo is actually smitten by Varian at this point-

Cue to Hugo flirting with Varian during the day and the boy is SO confused and thinks it's a ploy to bother or mock him or something.

Anyway. They are stupid and it takes Varian forever to notice Hugo and the Drag Queen is the same person. And I just really want to draw Drag queen Hugo right now.

#me saying I have no plot then keep on writing and writing about the plot 😭 #did I just make a varigo lovesquare-..? no its a love triangle its fine- #maybe someone already did that- idk- I dont really know what has been made or what is going on really 😔 #eryanwrites #varigo #Vat7k #Vat7k varian #Vat7k hugo #eryanbles #Vat7k au #varigo au

[eryanlainfa]

important thought i just had. how do you imagine hugo’s gender nonconformity like how does he identify with any label in particular or is he just Like that. and more importantly do you think he’s already figured it out by the time he meets the gang or do you think the egg breaks later. BC SEE i’ve always imagined up until the trials shes never had the time to think about herself at ALL, like she obviously knows shes kinda *flicks wrist* yk but otherwise she’s never really actually come to any real conclusions about herself. so i think as soon as they move in with varian and once they’ve finally settled and they have SO much free time and so many things going on in their head, they’re trying new hobbies and finding all sorts of things to tinker with and most importantly they finally have the opportunity to care about their appearance and suddenly the gender crisis hits them like a fucking FREIGHT TRAIN

all this is to say because. I was thinking about that again today and then i remembered aiden and it was like my third eye opened bc i realized the sheer potential in that scenario with airigo. like i feel like aiden would’ve seen that shit coming a MILE AWAY and i think that’d be so cute and also so fucking funny and. I need to hear your thoughts ok

[Hi. Future Ery talking. I started rambling and I have no clue if what I said is actually coherent or even answers your question at all- But the idea was there! Also I personally headcanon everything and anything, I love switching labels of one character and making a whole new au for it. But covering EVERYTHING would be too long so I answered regarding Aiden's main timeline only- but if you want me to talk about transfem Hugo in particular I'd love to!!]

Sobbing and crying this is so cute and funny your brain is wonderful mwah mwah. I think all you said could 100% work and I can see a version where it would make sense for Hugo to not had the time to discover themself properly. And Aiden just clocking her right away is so funny 😭

Saddly it wouldn't work in Aiden's original timeline simply because, in this case, Hugo wouldn't be Hugo if he hadn't transition already.

I've never really openly delved into my headcanons for the whole gang, because I like people being able to interpret my art however they want (and also because I can change my mind whenever and no one would know-). But in Aiden's universe, Hugo isn't amab.

But to go back on how I imagine Hugo's gender noncomformity!

Firstly, in universe, I'm not sure neither Hugo nor Aiden really identify with a gender label. They don't really have a word for it so they're just how they are. But I personally label him as bigender transmasc. And I do still label them as gay. Cuz. Queer homosexuals representation. Yay.

Secondly- Hugo actually transitioned before figuring out his gender. Being an orphan is already harsh, being poor is terrible and he figured being female generally made things more difficult. So she didn't want to be one. When he got recruited by Don for the first time he was already dead set on not wanting to be a girl and didn't have a name anymore so Donella is the one who named him Hugo. I think Don was "supportive" as in she really didn't care, and if helping Hugo transition meant he would be more useful then that worked for her just fine. So Hugo got to transition but it wasn't really because he didn't feel like he wasn't a girl, she just didn't think it would be advantageous for him to be one.

Sorry I got sidetracked- cough- Back on topic.

One thing I wanted regarding Hugo's relationship to gender is the fact that he is comfortable being fem BECAUSE he got to transition.

For work they would play whichever role worked best no matter the gender. At first, looking like a guy needed more work, which bothered him because it was his goal, so for a while he had a clear preference for appearing masculine. But years later, after having transitioned to a comfortable point, she figured she really didn't mind being either gender. And it made playing different roles even more fun and easy for them. Not necessarily in a fluid way, he's just everything at once most of the time.

So he already got herself figured out quite well when 7k starts. Actually, Hugo being openly queer is another reason why she caught Aiden's interest so fast. And I wanted them to mirror each others in a way, with Hugo being comfortable because he transitioned and Aiden being more comfy doing the absolute bare minimum-. Also I had this one joke that sometimes Nuru and Hugo would have girls nights during the journey. So I needed she/her Hugo for all of this to work lol. But I do believe Hugo still gets to affirm and discover himself even more after he settles, it's just mostly about other things.

BUT YOU KNOW WHO'S EGG GOT TO CRACK DURING THE TRIALS IN MY MIND-??? Varian. He's agender. My whole gang is trans and the joke was that Varian is the token cis guy of the group (because I thought it was funny). But he isn't. He just doesn't know because he's always too busy thinking of literally anything else and he never really registered that was an option. He still uses he/him tho. Because I enjoy gender fuckery.

In summary :

○ Bigender ○ agender ○ genderfluid ○

Also, since I decided to finally talk about my headcanons, I think too many people assumed Aiden is the one pregnant -in that one comic-. They aren't.

#I am generally scared to share my headcanons for characters hiiii- #but I genuinely JUST wrote their labels for the airigo ask blog I'm making. so I can talk about it now #eryanswers #eryanwrites #pansy-picnics #posting it before I overthink too much about how I might get shot on sight -3-

[eryanlainfa]

Wanted to draw something for this silly headcanon forever ago but since I still haven't you get this post instead.

About that DC au for Vat7k I have, where the team is the young justice league. Random fun fact : they all play DnD together, its a homebrew campaign where Varian is the DM, the campaign is called The 7 Kingdoms. And as you may have guessed, its actually just the vat7k story.

"But Varian is the DM how can he be the main character ?" Thats a good question audience I do not have! You could also ask who tf gets to play a fantasy campaign and just.. play as themself ? (Well. Probably some people cuz you can do what you want but our beloved characters wouldnt pass the opportunity to be literally anyone who isnt them.-)

Actually Varian doesnt play Varian. Hugo does. It started as a joke to bother him but the rest of the league thought it was the funniest thing ever and wanted to add to the joke. So Hugo is Varian, Aiden is Hugo, Nuru is Yong, Yong is Nuru and Varian wants to kick all of them out of his house rn.

They are all terrible caricature of each others. It actualy ends up helping them understand each others better- also free therapy I guess-

#the number of 'I dont act like that' 'yes you do' every session is astronomical #its also funny to them to imagine a 'normal' version of themselves. with no powers or hero drama #they are also completely unhinged because technically its roleplay so no consequences #Nuru and Yong keep scores of everything they get to destroy and fights over whoch one of them cause more damages both in and out game #Aiden uses rp as an excuse to flirt with Hugo every chance they get #varian is a very mean dm and decides to throw other characters in it based of their real relatives- and the DRAMA #its your usual campaign starting as a joke and then it becomes more and more serious and youre attached to your character a whole lot #eryanwrites #headcanon #youngjustice!au #oc x canon #ALSO THE OUT OF CONTEXT THINGS THEY CAN SAY IS TERRIBLE #'no no I didnt mean the real Yong I was talking about the rp character. Yong did not explode a building yestersay.- #... as far as I know at least'

[eryanlainfa]

I have circus au brainrot but I don't want to draw so here I am making quick notes instead.

Rapunzel.

You would think aerial dancing is made for her, but no. She is the make-up artist, the costume maker, she even makes props and decors when its needed. Basically everything crafty, she'll happily do it. And she loves it because she gets to assist all of her friends and let her creativity go everywhere. I think she used to be an aerial dancer but the spotlight is not where she wants to be, she got to leave her old circus to make a new one with Eugene and her friends and she is much more happy now.

Eugene.

He is the ringmaster! He's eloquent and captivates the audience with ease. Plus he is quick to think and knows how to deal with unforseen events when needed. He also knows plenty of fun tricks he likes to show off when performers are building their set ups.

Lance.

He is an animal trainer. I just think he'd be neat as one- he is never alone on stage and put everyone (human and animal alike) at ease. He also knows how to make an entertaining scenes featuring all of the pets. He sometimes assists other performers with one of his animal companion.

Cassandra.

I genuinely think she could do anything- but I really want her to be an aerial artist too, except she specialises in trapeze! And maybe she even did duos with Rapunzel at some point. She genuinely changed trapeze partners so much (Rapunzel, Andrew, Zhan Tiri, etc..) now she is much more at ease being solo.

Varian.

He's an illusionist, sometimes called magician but he's more about illusions. He loves making up new tricks and building his own props. His whole act has steampunk vibes and he has a mad scientist persona. Sometimes Ruddiger gets to be his assistant.

Yong.

He's a juggler who specialises in pyrotechnics. His work is very impressive despite his young age and his friends always need to remind him to not overdo it. He enjoys using his own mistakes in his acts, and will fake small accidents to shock the audience.

Hugo.

He's a contortionist, escape artist, and many other things. He is a man of many talent and he could probably do a whole show just by himself or so he says. He sometimes assist Varian in his act since he's the only one who can hide Anywhere. His act is also very steampunk and his persona is some sort of mechanical puppet.

Nuru.

She's an aerial dancer who mainly use silk. She was a huge Rapunzel fan and picked up the art because of her, so when she got the chance to join the troup she took it! Rapunzel gives her pointers and advices on her performance from time to time. Nuru's act is space themed.

That's about all I have for now •3•

#writing all of this so it finally gets out of my head #i dont really have headcanons for lance so :( idk his role might change- I just really liked the idea of him being friends with all the pets #if you have ideas please tell meeeee #i realllyyyyy want to draw the girls togetherrrrrr aurgh but idk when I'll have the energy to :( #eryanwrites #circus au #tts #Vat7k #tangled #i found a trapeze artist that really made me think of cass and- and I- aurgh- omg- i need to draw her so bad-

[eryanlainfa]

I love gremlin Varian but somehow in my version of Vat7k he's like the overly stressed mom- still a gremlin at heart and genuinely happy to be here vibes but also

*************************

Varian : no stealing on my watch !

Hugo : alright I'll only do it when you're not looking then

*************************

Yong : Hugo's so cool

Varian (secretly thinking Hugo is cool) : he's not. He's a bad influence ! Don't listen to him !

*************************

(Nuru hides in their cart to go with them through their journey without anyone knowing)

Varian : did we kidnap a royal...?

Aiden : wouldn't be the first.

Yong : technically she came by her own volition.

Hugo : that would be the saddest kidnapping ever.

Nuru : don't worry about it boys, I left a note uwu

*************************

He's so tired guys-

Everyone is chaotic af meanwhile Varian is trying to be righteous. But of course he also has this voice in his head that tells him to agree with Hugo (he does have a point often enough) and then to set him on fire. He's trying real hard to not listen to that voice too much lol

Only reason Aiden isn't helping is because they use it as payback for the times Varian wouldn't listen to them.

#Passive aggressive aiden lmao #Eryanwrites #Vat7k oc #Vat7k aiden #Vat7k varian #Vat7k hugo #Vat7k yong #Vat7k nuru #quotes

[eryanlainfa]

OK hear me out Hugo and Aiden LOOOOVE musicals but Varian doesn't really get them. Also do you think Aiden can sing bc I feel like Hugo would not be that great of a singer and it would be funny in a vat7k show bc Hugo would be like "I can't sing" and three minutes ago he sang his I want song with the voice of an angel

(ignoring temporarily that singing is in human nature and no one is 'bad at it' because it's singing if you're doing it your doing it right) don't mind me just rambling in your inbox lmao anyway AIRIGO

I LOVE HAVING YOU RAMBLING IN MY ASKBOX even more when its about airigo :3c you will always be welcomed

"I can't sing" *proceeds to sing flawlessly* xD love that for Hugo. I also think Hugo would not be that great of a singer but he'd have a good sense of rythm so it's not half bad. Also I think his singing voice would sound different from his talking voice- Idk why-

I don't think Aiden is a huge singer, but they hum a lot during work. (Witches have plenty of lullabies and short songs they recite as good luck charms, since their words carry magic.) So Aiden's singing voice wouldn't be strong and it would probably break if they tried to sing dificult notes loudly. It's fine, she always prefered dancing over singing-

I have so many thoughts and questions popping up now. Since Varian isn't a huge musical fan do you think he prefers classical music? Maybe anything without lyrics so listening to it won't mess his focus on whatever he is working on.? Is Hugo a big musical fan or just anything theater? I like to think Hugo really likes theater and songs because he learnt how to read rather late so it was his only way to have stories accessible to him for a while.

ALSO. Hear me out. A musical version of the Tales of Flynnigan Ryder. (In universe). That would be hilarious, maybe that's why Varian isn't fan of musicals, because, in his opinion, the adaptation isn't fateful enough to the books and he holds a grudge against musicals since-

On a sidenote. Varian and Hugo fighting over which is best, the musical or the book. And its not at all an objective debate lol

#the irony of Varian not being a huge musical fan when he's the only one who can sing 😔 lmao #I'll admit I still have no idea what Aiden's voice would sound like actually- I never voice claimed any of my OCs yet xP #eryanswers #eryanwrites #writingraccoon #Vat7k aiden #SORRY MY BRAIN JUST KEPT ON GOING 😭 but the subject is so fun

[eryanlainfa]

May I have ALL the details on how Aiden's magic works please please 🥺

OF COURSE!!!

long post ahead- I'll throw some reminders about witches and magic in Aiden's universe, talk about his family and then Aiden specifically.

Witches.

Witches are basically halfbloods of both realms : the Mystic and the Matter (original I know-). Because of that they are influenced by both realms.

● Advantages they have on humans are : they can sense the flow of magic, they get some cool powers, and they can cast spells without the help of an artifact as long as they studied said spell. (And they have cool eye colors lol)

● However they are binded by some rules : they cannot break promises as they act like magical contracts, lying isnt natural to them (it's seen as taboo between witches because their words carry power, some cannot lie at all), and magic is something they need to live (like food, its energy they need to sustain. Unless their powers are binded already since it wouldn't need to be replenished anymore)

● Each bloodlines have their own specialty/power depending on who/what they descend from. And not every member has the same amount of power. (If both parents are witches, the child will inherit the magic from only one of them).

● Humans are easier targets for spells but Witches aren't immune to magic either, they can use spells on fellow witches, family members and even themselves.

● Witches can bind their powers, through various means, to live as humans if they want but it can be permanent and sometimes impact their overall health

● Witchlings are sometimes concidered more powerful because they lack self control and awareness. Magic being part of the witch themself it will react to emotions and to the person's confidence.

The Venefica family (Aiden's)

The Venefica family descends from a demon, which is a fact the family has been keeping secret since forever. Their speciality is mind magic and its mostly similar to hypnosis : you implement a suggestion into the target's mind who will think of it as their own if your spell succeed.

But. The family isn't really open about the extent of its ability. They will more often describe it as a supportive type of magic (helping people feeling better or more confident, etc)

What it can actually do :

The basis of mind magic is to make the target do what you want or to make them feel however you want them to, without the target necessarilly realising you are influencing them. It can be a one time command or be longlasting. Aside from that, it can also be used as body enhancement of sorts : by making the target forget its limit and render them unable to feel pain for exemple (in that case it is dangerous to the body and can result in long lasting damage). More difficult abilities mind magic gives are : telepathy and being able to go through and modify people's memories.

HOW it works :

It depends on the Witch using said power, the command AND the target. Witches who are less powerful will have more difficulties and limits. Target wise, strong willed people are harder to influence. And of course the more out of character a command is, the more magic you need to convince the target to do it.

Overall, the more contact with the target, the better it works.

For exemple : less powerful members of the family could need physical contact, eye contact AND to tell their command out loud to the target. Meanwhile more powerful Veneficas could use their powers with a simple whisper to the target.

Plus, if you want the command to work long term you might need repetitive contact with the target to make sure your magic still influencing them. Though it is possible to keep it from a distance by using artefacts or other tricks (a burning candle's fume or a beverage made to fuel the spell for exemple)

Lastly if the target already trusts you or if you know them well enough it will be easier to influence their mind. (Straight up gaslighting people does help- so knowing how your target usually thinks makes it easier)

Now to delve more about Aiden!

● I'll be honest she's a bit overpowered, which is a whole problem for a while because she never got to learn how to use her powers correctly until the journey through the 7 kingdoms.

It used to get him into trouble when he was a kid (because he didnt understand what was going on yet so it put himself and others in danger). But he does think it helped him making friends easily throughout his life (without his knowing at the time).

● As of now they mostly uses their power to appease people or as some sort of painkiller. Pretty useful for a physician surrounded by idiots getting hurt 24/7. And now (post 7k) they are powerful enough to not need physical contact most of the time.

● She does use it on herself.

● Eventually (few years after 7k) Aiden gets to be able to go through other people's memories but if its without the other's consent they will need physical contact to do so.

● So far, telepathy and memory reading only works well with Varian and Hugo (and pets to some degree), because they give Aiden their permission whenever and they are the ones he gets to practice on the most. But he does need eye contact and to concentrate for it to work. It's even more effective when it is calm around them.

For the pets, because they can't talk, telepathy with them is closer to sharing feelings and concepts rather than articulated thoughts.

Random facts :

● Artefacts to enhance a witch's power exist

● A witch's eye color depends on their mystical ancestor and the amount of power the witch possesses. (Veneficas are associated with purple and their eyes go from indigo to a pinkish purple, indigo usually being the weakest)

● When a witch uses magic their eyes will glimmer more or less slightly. The bigger the spell the more visible it should be.

● When a witch dies, their spells dissipates unless it is carried by an artefact.

That's about it!

● Same for promises. If someone involved in one dies, the contract becomes null.

● I am still debating about it but I think it could be neat if witches got physical traits from their magical ancestor whenever they get into the Mystic Realm-

I think I've told everything I could think of- if you do have more specific questions or questions about other topics don't hesitate to ask! :3

And thank you so much for showing interest in my OC!!!!💕

#i know I am repeating things from previous info posts but I like putting context okay #i like mind magic because you can be creative with it- even in a non powerful way you can be SUPER annoying lol #idk if I should have add.. visuals or something... also I could have gone into a bit more details about magic and seals and artefacts- #eryanwrites #eryanswers #Vat7k aiden #writingraccoon #Vat7k oc

what did aiden and varian and hugo do for valentine's day

Aaw that's a cute question-

So we're talking Day of Hearts, I suppose, which is headcanoned to happen in august- which is also. Their anniversary. (Same date they got together, not the wedding date)

You'd think they would do something grand and over the top but actually they tend to spend the day with friends, simply using the celebration as a well deserved break from work. It's a casual date with whoever is available at the time. They go around town, buy stuffs, save Daniel from another blinddate set up by his parents, dance, plan a picnic, shenanigans happen but overall it's pretty chill.

They do, however, keep the evening for themselves alone. Usually they plan a nice dinner and exchange simple gifts. Activities varry a lot, it can go from cuddling at home to going back to the lab because they suddenly had the craziest idea during their conversations- as long as its something they can all enjoy together, anything goes.

#the first two Day of Hearts together was stressful so they keep it simple now #eryanswers #technically not the EXACT date of them officially getting together but they decided to go with it cuz its easier to remember #thehellsystem #thank you for asking :3 💕💕💕 #eryanwrites #airigo #oc x canon

[eryanlainfa]

I just realized that even though i see your art of him and you talk about him a lot, i don't actually know anything about aiden. so. infodump to me about your OC lore please.

!!!! hi <3 I have SO MUCH to say about Aiden- and yet I don't share that much about them! I draw them a lot but never give much context, my bad xP

I did answer an ask a while ago about them here if you want! it has all the basic infos you might need and I've just updated it a bit because some stuff was outdated and I wanted to add some details. I also think you can find (very) few things in the eryanwrites tag

But you're asking for infodumping so!!! Imma infodump MORE >:3c

(this is in addition to the post I linked- you might want to read said post before, to have more context)

⚙ Backstory stuff

Despite being born in Old Corona, Aiden spent half of their childhood in another village even farther away from the capital. This village is run by a small saporian community and was mostly filled with travelers so people tended to come and go, lots of witches came by looking to seal their power to pass as human. So Aiden and their parents were easily welcomed there.

When Aiden was a child, the local Grandma (Aiden never learnt her name- she was just referred by everyone as Grandma) used to play with Aiden's hair a lot while she told stories. Aiden avoided cutting their hair for her, and even after her death they still refused to cut it.

Said Grandma was the village's healer and quickly became Aiden's role model. She was the first person to mentor Aiden in their quest to become a physician.

Aiden's second mentor is the current royal physician, the only one who didn't leave when the Queen got sick and no one could find a cure. Both of Aiden's mentor were/are unhinged and definetly shouldn't be trusted to teach children but that's why I love them.

Aiden is very not normal about human bodies. Both because of autism and the way their mentors educated them about it. Aiden is pretty desentisized about stuff most people would find gross.

⚙ Aiden's relationship with other characters

Aiden has a pretty good relationship with their parents. They're very loving people but a tad overprotective, it kinda made Aiden avoid talking to them about big problems because he was scared to worry them more than necessary, but overall they all love and care for each others. Aiden is just terrible at understanding and communicating his own needs.

They have many friends within the castle since they've been working here for a while now. They're also known outside of the capital since his mentor sometimes send them away, either on errand or to take care of villages without doctors.

Aiden isn't close to the main cast of tts, beside Varian. He respects and admires most of them but he doesn't consider them friends since he never really got interested in getting closer to them. They do know they can count on him when any of them gets hurt or sick, it's his job after all.

Aiden has a bestie- his name is Daniel, he's the son of the merchants proccuring most herbs for the physicians, and is currently part of the royal guards. He isn't a very fun person but Aiden enjoys how down to earth he can be.

⚙ random stuff

During the series Aiden went through like... 4 different leg prosthesis in one year because people (bad guy of the season) kept on breaking it. (I'll admit it was my go-to excuse as to why Aiden doesn't appear in canon. They're always off screen doing random things or laying on the floor stuck somewhere 😔)

They're very sensitive to temperatures since the Storm that made them lose their leg.

Aiden's magic got sealed by a tattoo on their back when they were very young, so as they grew up the tattoo got deformed and the seal weakened. Their extended family is the ones completely getting rid of it- by removing part of the skin. Hopefully for Aiden he was under hypnosis when that happens and he has no memories of it whatsoever. Varian is the one who found out about it and it made him really mad.

So you know Venefica's magic is linked to mind control. And Aiden caught feelings for Varian long before he caught feelings for them himself. Varian is very obvious about his feelings, yet Aiden doesn't acknowledge it at all. That's because they're somehow convinced Varian's feelings aren't genuine and is caused by their own magic they never learnt to control.

I mentioned witches cannot break promises so they avoid doing any, since it can easily end badly for them. Aiden (so far) made 2 : one to Quirin and one to Donella. The first one lowkey resulted in the loss of their leg. The second brought distrust between them and Varian. So yeah. Promises bad.

The only reason Hugo is allowed to call them Hobble is because he helped a lot with their prosthesis and still does

⚙ shipping stuff

At this point if you don't know I ship Aiden with both Varian and Hugo then-.. Idk how you escaped all my posting about them but I admire that, this is impressive. Anyway-

I wanted to try doing an actual love triangle so when each of them catch feelings it starts with : Aiden -> Hugo ; Hugo -> Varian ; Varian -> Aiden. Then things just... happen and at some point they all have feelings for both of the other and they are struggling to figure out what to do about it.

The first two to get into a relationship are Aiden and Hugo, but it's not really romantic, they're just having fun. Hugo quickly understood Varian was the team leader but the boy kept Aiden in high regard, so getting Aiden on his side would eventually bring Varian to it too. Aiden is very aware of it and is fine with it as long as Hugo isn't actively trying to get them hurt.

I have.. the worst love triangle dynamic chart ever :

I don't even know if its readable to others but oh well-

Anyway. I think that's enough! If any question rises I'll love to asnwer them! About Aiden or other ocs or timeline stuff- or aus- anything is fine

Random Aiden and Hugo drawing- from a timeline that got thrown away when I decided to go full love triangle instead of the love rivals plotline. (more explanation and part of a one shot under the cut)

At first Hugo and Aiden were supposed to both fall for Varian first. Thus beggining some silly rivalry between the two before eventually falling for the other as well.

This drawing was for a random one shot in which Hugo and Aiden are trapped in some sort of dream trial. Someone wants to keep them asleep. And so they're both in this sweet and lovely dream.

In that dream months pass. All their friends and family are here, and they eventually fall in love with each other. Though every now and then one of them feels something is wrong they are just so happy here it never lasts long.

But comes their wedding day and they hear a voice, Varian's. He's asking them to wake up. And they both understand what is going on and they're so sad. They stay silent for a bit, holding onto each other.

Hugo :.. you heard it too didn't you ?

Aiden :.. How could we have forgotten about him..

Hugo : I guess it's time for us to wake up..

Aiden : yes…but I.. is it wrong of me to want to stay ?

Hugo : no.. I understand.. It has been the sweetest dream I've ever had, Hobble. But this is not our lives. Those aren't our real friends nor our real families. We can't stay..

Aiden :.. Heh.. And I thought I was supposed to be the moral compass between us two

Hugo, caressing their cheek : you are.. But when it hurts too much I'll gladly take the role

Aiden smiled through tears

Hugo : it's true here and it'll be true back there too

Aiden : we might not remember any of this once we wake up..

Hugo : maybe it's for the best

Aiden : perhaps… You've been my sweetest home, Hugh

Hugo : And you, mine, Ada

And they kiss softly one last time before they finally wake up from their slumber.

Varian is here greeting them with the warmest hug and so happy to have them back. Hugo and Aiden look at each other and smile with a certain sadness they don't quite understand.

Varian : "I'm so glad you two managed to get back to us !"

Hugo and Aiden : "we're glad to be back too"

A vat7k related question

What do you think is Hugo's gender identity? Cus I want to hear what you think Hugo's gender is and the story behind it.

(I've answered a similar ask some weeks ago so I am sorry for the repeat, I hope it's okay)

With me, when it comes to label headcanons for characters, it always depends! I like to change it depending on the story I want (because sometimes it ties to the plot) and I enjoy every version of them.

◇ But I do have a main headcanon, so let's focus on that one :

I headcanon Hugo as a bigender transmasc. And I believe she is comfortable appearing feminine now BECAUSE he got to transition to a comfortable point for him. Transition he started pretty early on, even before figuring out his own gender. (Taking into account I think most pride labels doesn't really exist in-universe, like the words don't exist yet, queer people are a thing but they don't label themself the way we do now)

◇ As for the story behind it, I'll detail it a bit more than I did last time :

(I forgot if it was a "canon" thing or just widly accepted fanon) We know Hugo is an orphan, and I believe the orphanage he was in wasn't the best environnement ever and perhaps not well taken care of. So as soon as they could they would send the kids to work wherever they could and obviously the more money they made the better. My Hugo was afab and she quickly noticed being seen as a boy gave you more advantage in that regard more often than not. So she didn't want to be seen as a girl anymore and started transitioning the best he could at the time. It had nothing with how she felt about herself, it was purely about what seemed more advantageous.

When Hugo got recruited by Donella for the first time, it had been a long while since he last used a name at all so, upon deciding to take him under her wing, Don is the one who named him Hugo. She also helped him through his transition because over the years simply cutting his hair and binding wasn't enough anymore, which bothered him a lot and he was annoying about it. Thanks to Don, Hugo got to go quite far in his transition pretty quick and he's rather proud of it. Once he reached the point he's at rn he stopped because it wasn't worth doing more, plus he figured passing as a girl could be useful too and at the moment it wasn't hard to go from one gender presentation to the other. And she figured she actually didn't mind being a girl either, plus playing roles is super entertaining to him so not being limited by gender gave him even more possibilities.

Actually I don't think she sees herself as multigender, she probably thinks of it as another tool under her sleeves. He knows not everyone is at ease being anyone, so it gives him an advantage. He's everything at once, and he's very happy being his own thing. If asked he'd probably label himself as whatever feels best at the moment (or whatever's the funniest).

Maybe it does give her a crisis once she settles in Corona because she doesn't have to play a role anymore so she's confused and unsure on what is even left of her but that's another story

◇ And in case you wanted to know why I chose those labels : I simply don't see lots of characters headcanoned as bigender, or even multigender in general (genderfluid Hugo makes me SO HAPPY-), and since I am multigender myself it's something dear to me! Plus I wanted to have fun exploring different ways people view gender and go through their discovery journey, so every member of the gang has a different experience regarding theirs, and yet they all share that trans umbrella together :) in short, I am just having fun lol

[eryanlainfa]

talk about one of your OCs!!!

I genuinely tried to think of anyone other than Aiden but failed real hard (which scares me a bit at this point ggkfkfk)

Anyway

* throws RANDOM AIDEN LORE at you*

I want to talk about their shit constitution which happens because of their powers, or the absence of it to be more exact.

Back to some worldbuilding. I did say they are a witch, it means in their lineage they share blood with a magical being, and each families have a special ability linked to that being. Witches is like its own subspecies of halfbloods- they appear almost entirely human with the only exception being their 'odd colored' eyes.

Aiden's family are mind witches, their special ability is hypnosis. Its a powerful ability and Aiden was REALLY good at it without even realising, to a point it caused reoccuring incidents and weird rumors. So their parents, who wanted to lay low (witches arent very welcomed in the Light Kingdom), decided to leave and find a way to lock Aiden's power, better safe than sorry. Since then Aiden has a tattoo on their back, close to where the heart would be. (Its also how their eyes turned orange instead of purple.)

The thing is that it made Aiden's past hypnosis null. And they used to hypnotize themself A LOT. So lots of physical problems started to appear, all the times they pushed their body past its limits, all the sicknesses they seemed to not catch, plus their body losing a flow of energy it used to be swimming in. Their health got TERRIBLE. It took them a while to get better enough to come back to Old Corona.

It also made them grow a bit distant from their parents (who are genuinely very good people) because they were too over protective. Lil Aiden simply saw that their pain caused pain to their parents and that when they werent feeling well they couldnt do much except resting in bed so they decided to ALWAYS be fine no matter what. It results in them putting aside any 'wrong feeling' and the start of them focusing on others well being rather than their own. Which globally makes their own health even worse, eventually resulting in them losing some limbs and being in pain 24/7 because they cannot ask for help ever-

Cue the want to become a physician rising. It makes them able to take care of themself on their own if needs be, but more importantly they get to be busy worrying about others rather than themself.

#which might be why I am so fascinated by their dynamic with Hugo #its the guy who appears always fine for others' sake vs the guy who appears always fine for his own mental health #and they catch on it and lowkey use it to their advantage and AURGH THEY MAKE ME INSANE #I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT AIDEN AND MY WORLDBUILDING AROUND VAT 7K I MIGHT EXPLODE #nuru and yong are also witches because they have weird eye colors but their kingdom is a bit more open about it #I try to explain the existance of magic in the tang led universe AND the lack of it at certain points #i developed this whole other dimension lowkey linked to where zhan ti ri was locked in #and their quest becomes more than just finding the eternal library but when they realise it there is no going back anyway #ITS A MESS. MY BRAIN IS A MESS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE STUPID FAN STUFF BUT HERE I AM #meanwhile my original stories are saddly dying in a corner #sorry I went crazy there- #eryanswers #eryanwrites #zachdanielswhisky #Vat7k aiden

[eryanlainfa]

hi hey very random but im new here and can i ask everything abt aiden? like the lore and their powers they seem so cool i wanna get into ur au :D

(idk how to exactly sayit)

Do not worry I basically shared almost NOTHING about them at all so no one really knows much about them except me and ONE friend. But maybe it is time for me to share more !

But- everything- ? You sure about that ? You want everything ? I'll assume you mean the important things because there's a LOT going on, you don't want to know 😭

If anyone wants MORE infos about Aiden or my worldbuilding around Tangled or my version of Vat7k. I CAN make posts going in more details but do YOU really want to read ALL OF THAT ??

So for now ! Important infos about Aiden under the cut !

Small worldbuilding thingy first : witches exist in my version, they're basically halfbloods of humans x whatever magical being, and it stays in their lineage for a whiiiile. Basically, contrary to humans, witches don't need artefacts to do magic, and different witches have different magical abilities (depending on what/who was their magical ancestor). And fun fact : they can't break promises. They genuinely physically can't. Because promises are a sort of pact, so they avoid it. (Aiden made two throughout their life and it always ended badly for them)

Aiden ! They're a witch and are from a powerful witch family known for their purple eyes. Their father ran away from said family before Aiden was born so they only got to learn more about their heritage when meeting the extended family during the vat7k journey. Lots of drama on that side.

Aiden's parents are very kind and simple people, they arrived in Old Corona around the same time as Quirin and Ulla so both couples became friends. But while Quirin quickly got the villagers' respect by helping around, Aiden's parents prefered to stay low, they were here in hide-out afterall.

Aiden is around a year and a half older than Varian. They are friends, at first because their parents also are, then because they're both nerds and the only ones capable of keeping up with the other's brain. They both care for each others, and yeaaaars later Aiden gets a crush, but it's very obviously one-sided.

When Aiden was very young they didn't really know how to control their powers, causing incidents and starting weird rumors around town, so their parents decided to lock it up. Since then Aiden got a tattoo on their back as a binding spell. Their father also added an illusion rune to said tattoo to turn their eyes orange/light brown instead of purple. (so through all of Tangled The Series and a good half of Vat7k they have orange eyes).

Due to the rumors (and needing someone to do the tattoo) Aiden's family moved away from Old Corona, they spend some years in another small village farther away and only come back to the capital 2 years before the movie takes place.

Aiden almost always knew they wanted to become a physician, for multiple reasons, and worked hard to attain their goal. So when the current royal physician accepted to make them his apprentice Aiden was overjoyed. They've resided within the castle since.

They lost the use of their right leg and left foot to the storm in Queen for a day. Due to not receiving proper care in time, once back to the castle, their mentor had to cut of the limbs because they were too damaged. Aiden got a prosthesis since then and they have multiple mobility aids they can use. Though it did take a while for them to accept the whole thing.

They took care of a hurt magpie and the bird just keeps on coming back to them, his name is Camille! He is very useful when Aiden needs to communicate with someone who's far away.

Aiden has almost no impacts on the Tangled Series, I like to make things difficult for myself and kept everything canon intact. During the series they are mostly off-screen being busy, their mentor makes them work a LOT, and when they have time off they mostly hang out with their friends who also work within the castle. I could genuinely make a spin off solely on castle staff shenanigans-

Aiden's interactions with the main cast is limited and, as I said, happen off-screen. The only plot point they impact is the saporian take-over of the castle. Which happens off-screen for my own delight.

They helped to get Varian and Andrew out of jail. And helped Saporians to take over Corona, until things went too far and they tried to convince Varian to turn against Andrew, to no avail. Cue to Varian and Aiden having their sort of 'break up'. Once the whole ordeal is handle by Rapz and co, the two teens decides to give their friendship another try, they still do care about the other a lot, but the subject still stains their relationship a little, even through vat7k

I've been rewritting my own version of Vat7k for the 5th time and explaining everything would take forever :'D help. But there' s like... A whole other quest that results in finding the eternal library but is kind of more important for the world- It's a forever work in progress...

Var and Add are back to being close friends when Vat7k starts. Except that while Aiden is repressing their feelings, Varian is slowly accepting his. Cue to Varian clearly flirting with Aiden but the other keep on dismissing it.

Aiden's reason for joining Varian through his journey is because : 1-something is wrong with the magic and witches started to get weaker, they hope to find the cause and a cure. and 2- their mentor really wants to retire but Aiden doesn't feel ready to take his place yet, so they kinda run away from the responsability by following Varian

Aiden's story is a lot about accepting their disability, learning to put their needs before others and learning to trust themself.

At first they kinda fall for Hugo as a way to get over Varian (he looks like fun).

Upon discovering Hugo got feelings for Varian, Aiden immediately started to play wingman for the two. Drama ensued.

They got a crossbow because they needed to find a way to help while staying at a distance.

Aiden sees Yong and Nuru as younger siblings. The whole team enjoy bantering with one another but if anyone is in danger they would not hesitate to destroy things. Aiden is closer to Nuru than to Yong though, they relate to each others in multiple ways, and Yong finds Aiden can be a bit too uptight.

Aiden learnt about their heritage and got to see how shitty their father's family is like. Said family tries to get Aiden to stay with them at ALL COST. Resorting to brainwashing at some point.

Their magic got unlocked and they got their purple eyes back definetly at that point. The tattoo is gone.

the relationship between Aiden, Hugo and Varian is pretty vague when they get back to the Light Kingdom but they are aware of each others feelings to an extent- and it almost becomes a thing! Then Donella comes back to fuck shit up-

When Varian locks himself in the eternal library Aiden was against going after him right away, they wanted to give him time to cool off and to get back to his senses on his own.

Fun fact. Since Aiden never really got the chance to learn how to do magic properly the "final battle" is genuinely.. terrible. They do try to use their power but at some point they kinda give up and just shoot "Ulla" (so Varian's body) with their crossbow. Nothing too bad no worries.-

End of Vat7k.

Once they get "proper" rest, Aiden goes back to being a physician for the crown and gets back to work right away because Rapunzel is pregnant and their mentor basically leave them a note like "your turn now, good luck 😋✌"

Varian Hugo and Aiden get officially together after all of that, the three of them. They told no one at first (except Quirin and Aiden's parents) just to mess with everyone.

I'll stop there for the story because my drawings are mostly around this period. And the rest is barely written at all yet but more shenanigans with Aiden's family happen and Donella comes back to be a bother as well. Results in Aiden's father dying and Hugo loses his right hand.

More facts :

Aiden's green ribbon in that ref sheet is from one of Hugo's dresses. Even when their hair got short they kept wearing it as a bracelet.

Aiden is from a lineage of mind witches (yeah its hypnosis basically). Their power impacts the mind. It can be used as an 'enhancement' (making someone believe they're stronger than they are or making them unable to feel pain), or to create illusions only the affected person can see. Mind control or brainwashing is possible but takes a lot of energy and practice. And each members has their set of rules to be able to use such power.

They can also like.. See the flow of magic and some other stuff. But that's a thing for most witches

Yong and Nuru are witches as well (so I could keep their original eye colors). I haven't fully decided on what kind exactly yet- but I have ideas.

Aiden does learn how to use their magic a bit better and sometimes use it on their patient as an anesthesia. They also use magic to help Hugo and Varian fall asleep every now and then.

They don't like lying but they're good at turning the truth in their favor. They enjoy playing with words.

This is for the main universe/timeline ! Because I have many AUs and 'what ifs' and since I keep on rewriting things I kept old versions as 'other timelines'- voilaa
