Mr. Magic dude

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

and what does that mean for quirin?

if he was conscious, does that imply he heard everything? his eyes were closed, so he wouldn’t have seen what was happening, but he would have heard varian’s desperate pleas and been unable to respond. he would’ve wanted to communicate that he was alive, but would have been forced to stay immobile. he would have been a silent witness to the masked men terrorizing varian, and he would have ached to comfort his son in the lonely months when no one came for him. he would have raged alongside varian at the villagers shunning him over a rumor. he would have imagined all the things he could be saying to pull varian out of his downward spiral. during season two, he would have assumed varian died or was forever imprisoned, and no one would ever free quirin.

and when varian’s voice reached him again, this time joined by rapunzel’s—

when quirin’s prison melted away—

when he could open his eyes—
