Rewatching tts and remembering how much of a little freak Varian is. Quirin was probably so concerned about Varian making shrines to a criminal in his basement and being accident-prone while creating explosions. I need him to maintain that energy in vat7k because he’s such a little dork I love him -that one anon
I like to think while he's still accident prone, the fear and anxiety about what he caused to happen (the uh, amber. His dad.) causes him to be SIGNIFICANTLY more careful in the future. Not because he actually gets better at being careful, just because he's sickeningly terrified of messing up like that again.
He moves slower as to not knock stuff over, he watches his feet when he walks so he doesn't trip, he pre-measures chemicals with droppers and beakers so he doesn't accidentally spill something dangerous onto/into something he's not as experienced with because what if it happens again?
What if he kills the people he cares about? All because he was just a little too careless? What if no one forgives him?
