My stomach hurt and I drew ogata with period pain to cope. Feat: fourze tanigaki because, cute.

This thought came by virtue of the first number in ”In the Light” (very under-discussed JerJor musical imo, haven’t seen it mentioned before) where Jeremy’s character is brought to trial because he’s doing *evil* star calculations and claiming *the sun* is the center of the solar system and other devilish things. He has to repent and claim Satan made him fabricate this research in order to avoid execution, but at the end of the number they burn all of his research. Jeremy’s voice when he despairs at this has such a Varian quality to it it’s delicious.

Anyway there’s so much potential here… let’s say the reason Varian repented was because Quirin told him to (we know how proud Varian is of his research after all). I’m imagining the judge is king Frederic here. Maybe he’s against heliocentrism because of the sun/moon worship we’ve seen in tts? Blasphemy of some sort? Protecting his power by suppressing information about the celestial movements? Sigh. Much to ponder. I really think this could morph into a cool AU I just really don’t have the brain capacity to connect the dots rn XD

Season 1 Varian will always be my favourite, he’s very special to me. There are so many cool things about him and his little arc that have driven me crazy for… 3 years next month !😵‍💫 He’s doomed by the narrative, he’s completely understandable, he is definitely unhinged. He’s terrifyingly competent, he’s a fourteen year old in the middle of a breakdown, he’s a vigilante terrorist, he just wants his dad back- yeah alright I could go on for a long while. The brain worms are so loud.

My most recent school assignment was to make a 10 second dance animation… so I took the chance to animate my favourite terrorist❤️‍🩹 I’d already been thinking about doing varian animatics with the Bonnie and Clyde musical songs, but now I could do it on school time! I had a lot of fun doing the background, trying to emulate the TTS style whilst still doing it my own way was fun!

I DIDNT FORGET THE HAIRSTRIPE! 😭 I didn’t have time to do inbetweens and shading before the assignment was due, I hope people can enjoy this little animation anyway…!

If a random man covered in blood with a haunted look in his eyes showed up and told me he’s *my* husband? yeah, I’d go with him.
