I think it was the original plan (the name varian, the hairstripe, the color combination, the parallels with Repunzel) but then someone in the room said “what about Cassandra” and it got shifted
@@ablackcatcrossesyourpath6222 I disagree. I don't see any parallels between Rapunzel and Varian tbh, but it was made clear from day 1 that Cass was in contrast with Raps, in character and even every detail of her design. Short, dark, curly hair, pale skin, clothes that cover most of her skin, she was designed to be the yin to Rapunzel's yang. Also, idk if you noticed but when they return to Rapunzel's tower in Season 1, they show Cass's reflection in the same shattered mirror Gothel looked in as she disintegrated from existence. When I was watching I just saw it out of the corner of my eye, and I thought it was Gothel. Already they were alluding to Cass being Gothel's daughter, they knew that early on, and that's yet another parallel between Cass and Rapunzel. They are, by design, opposites running in parallel, just like the sun and moon.
This song fits Varian FAR better than Cass. It just goes to show that Varian should have been the main series antagonist. He's got an established motive, is a known threat, and a sympathetic backstory. It feels like they slapped together Cass's backstory last minute in order to shoehorn her in as the antagonist.
I haven't seen the show, but from what I know, this song really fits Varians original arc. I know that "wait" is a Cassandra thing, but it seemed like every time Varian asks Rapunzel for help to save his dad, she makes him wait while she does whatever she's doing. So that line fits, and for the same reason, the opening duet makes sense too. Rapunzel hasn't been a good friend, but still, Varian doesn't want to be a villain. He's willing to work it out until she tells him, AGAIN, to wait. It turns the song from Cass's " im done being overshadowed, im the important one now" into a " if you won't help me, im done trying to be reasonable. Im making this my power, because you won't lend me yours." Super cool twist on the song, and the expressions and framing are great!
ngl I kinda wish that in the series for some reason Raps decided to take varian along and slowly he started to trust them again until the house of yesterdays tomorrow when he becomes corrupted by zan tiri and takes the moonstone because he thinks it would save his father
Notes: Please read the entire comment before replying Okay but imagine an AU where Varian broke out of jail and went after Rapunzel in season 2, instead of Cassandra grabbing the moonstone and betraying Rapunzel, Varian showed up out of nowhere and grabbed the thinking he could use it to save his father I might make that info a fic Edit: Ah fuck I completely forgot about this, I’ve been so caught up with my Haikyuu and BTS fics that I completely fell out of this fandom. I’m sorry but I don’t think this fic is gonna be happening any time soon, since I’m not in the fandom anymore.
I'm glad that Varian wasn't the moonstone holder and was redeemed because then we were able to see the real side of him of who he use to be before his father got stuck. I like how Rapunzel and Varien's relationship grow. I do love this animator however. Amazing job!
I LOVE SO MUCH THE CONCEPT AND THE DESIGN OF VARIAN, THE PROPORTIONS, THE LIGHTS AND THE EXPRESSIONS. I HOPE YOU CAN CONTINUE DOING AMAZING ANIMATICS!!
Omg! This was amazing! I loved it! Varian fits so much better into this story, bc he, at least, has a valid and more realistic reason for hating Rapunzel. At least, that's what I think.
Ugh! I finally found out the reason why Cass turned the other cheek during this song. Very similar to Nothing Left To Lose. Like with both of the songs, Cass almost redeeming herself until Rapunzel and Varian said something that ticked her off. Varian called her a villain in the other song. Rapunzel told her to wait. Cass has been "waiting in the wings" for her moment to shine. She didn't want to wait anymore. And this really relates to Varian as well on so many levels.
This is how the show should've gone... :( Varian was such an interesting character and they dropped his arch way too soon. Sure cass still should've gotten her story told but I feel like it was totally unessisary for her to betray Rapunzel out of nowhere, it's so out of character. Plus with Varian's father's connection with the moonstone and the blue stripe in varians hair you would think that they would expand apon it. it would have been so much more satisfying to see Varian get this moonstone in hopes of using it to save his father rather then Cass doing it all out of self interest no matter how justifyable. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk and this animatic is very well done cheers to the artist!
1:02 Honestly when Rapunzel said 'wait' it deeply applies more to Varian than Cass- remember when the black spiky rocks were coming for Rapunzel and was destroying the village that Varian lived in+ disturbing the villagers? How he asked Rapunzel multiple times for her help to stop the black rocks but she didn't since her dad said she didn't need to? And how this culminated into Varian trying to stop the black rocks with by himself but he ended up traping his dad instead?? How he panicked and ran to Rapunzel, the righteous princess of the kingdom, only to be denied again and kicked out by the guards??? He litterally kidnaped the queen to get her attention, plus Rapunzel could've asked Varian earlier if he could help her with the weather machine since he is a scientist/mechanic! Definitely wished that Varian played a bigger role, I think he could've played a more compelling villian with a deeper connection to the dark kingdom (hair streak + his dad was part of the dark kingdom!)
That's...beautiful...? I dont even know what to say really this left me completely speechless now if you'll excuse me I will go think about this perfect piece of art for another month and constantly wonder how does one archive such talent and beauty Oh yes also Idk how but Cassandra's voice actually fits Varian perfectly???
Honestly I can't stop thinking how it would fit Varian more than Cassandra. I won't explain why because there are a lot of video like that on RUclips that explain how Varian Villain/Redemption arc was done better than Cassandra Villain/Redemption arc and even because if I explain my point of view the comment would be too long. Still the Animation his beautiful and I love it.
If I was a walking dictionary, every word that means awesome would be used to describe this. This also proves that Varian is the best character ever used in fandom
I like gow tge series went but I still prefer varian as tge moonstone. It would be nice if in the second season varian took the stone and became dark but changed at the end and in tge third season cass would have taken it and became tge moonstone. It will make sence for varian to have controle of the stone and cassandra not having control of it because it doesnt belong to her the stone and in the end the moostone goes back to varian and rapunzel has her healing powers while varian has other power!
I think I would of enjoyed season 3 more if it was Varian with the moonstone. Yeah it was nice for hi to be redeemed after season 1 but I wanted to see more evil Varian (mainly so he gets more songs, pretty sure he only got one song in the last season (which was a duet) unless you count his one line in Through It All and I wanted to hear more of Jeremy Jordan's singing)
yes yes yes yes just i what i won't to see MOON VARIAN i always wonder what this would look like and it did good and well. Me: moon child moon child at last ya
This would have been so much better than Cass!! We would have gotten even more absolute incredible songs, genuinely varian needed more numbers. he has so much more reason to have been pursuaded to “evil” It also would have been way more dramatic than Cass. Sure she’s Raps best friend, but she trusts varian, she hurt him so badly and she still blames her self for what happened while he was trying to save his dad. One thing happens and he snaps. The evil goat thing shows how little he’s appreciated how old corona can’t trust the princess to save them because she’ll always care more about her life than others. Varian listens and then we get so many more dramatic scenes and a whole speach.
I’m reading this fan fiction Of Varian And he is in the 2nd season He is going with them on the trip to the dark kingdom I’m not done yet But I think they are going to make Varian take the moonstone I hope they do That would be awesome (I love moon Cass tho)
Actually, there is a vod that Varian is probably connected to the moonstone ruclips.net/video/hk68zNyZYz4/видео.html . Blue streak, when Varian touched Rap's, his hands didnt burn while Cass's right hand burns into a crisp. (All info in Link)
Team Awesome maybe so but Xavier is more of a storyteller and( not to bash on him I enjoy his character) I don’t think he be able to figure it out as fast or as well as Varian did.
I honestly am glad he got redeemed, but I think it would have been awesome if the small piece of the moonstone that broke because Varian's. It would give his hairstripe a reason to exist.
Me encanta el arco de redención de Varian en la serie, pero tenía mucho sentido que el tuviera la piedra lunar aparte de que mantenerlo como el antagonista era algo que muchos esperaban pues tenía mucho sentido debido a como lo trataron en corona y todo su desarrollo como villano hace que lo ame aun más.

This brought me back to when most of us thought Varian was possibly the holder of the moon stone, I love it
Yeah
Me too !!!
🙂😎😉
I didn't think that but I think he has a connection though
Moondrop varían theory 😭
I still think he might have some connection to it
“Varian having an Elsa moment” not the crossover I asked for but needed

Correction I meant the word like
Kirsten Mcneely wait, what?
Just imagine JEREMY JORDAN singing Cass's part!! *sighs*
Yes! That would be epic! I wish we had gotten a Varian and Rapunzel duet. Some reason I think that would be a killer song.
I think the same !!!
XD 🙂😎😉
I’m 99.9% sure he can actually sing it, but man Disney really robbed us of that 😔
Do your hear that
That’s the sound of fan girls from all over the galaxy screaming yes
Rose Cadenza
U read my MIND
I need a varian version of every song from this show now
Me too xD
FACTS
Me too
YES
You can never have too much Varian
I love what happened in the series and knew Varian wasn't the Moonstone, but I gotta say, Moonstone Varian woulda been epic
Noelle Rutledge and so much better.

I would read the shit out of that fanfic

Yeah, I have hard time accepting and picturing a good story where Varian ends up with the Moonstone. His redemption in canon is best for him.
Yeah
@@932ForeverLove Agreed
I think Varians villain arc would’ve made more sense than whatever the fuck Cassandra’s was like, but I love s3 Varian so it’s hard to decide,

Yeah Cass's reason is more: "you son of a bit-"
While Varian has a full ass BACKSTORY on what exactly happened
Cass to Rapunzel: You are so blessed
Me: She was legit kidnapped and lied to her whole life .-.
But when she came back everything was handed so easily to her- while Cass had to work to get to where she was
Strawberry Milk
Yeah but before that she had to go through many challenges to get to where she is now :/
This just made me realize that nobody’s done a male cover of this song! I wonder why...
Ugh! I finally found out the reason why Cass turned the other cheek during this song. Very similar to Nothing Left To Lose.

THIS WAS AN AMAZING WATCH!!! The movement was amazing and the camera movements were 👌 I love Moon Varian and this just made me love him more
You gave us the moonstone Varian we deserve. Thank you it was amazing !
Am I the only person who thinks Varian's blue streak in his hair is something connected to the moonstone!
No your not the only one
You’re definitely not the only one
No your not the only

this is really how we thought this was how it was gonna go down but it ended up being cass alkdkfkf
1:43 when he formed Nigel i started laughing wayyy harder than i should have
Literally just now I thought of this and thought, “Eh, no one will ever make that” but THEY DID :D
HOLY MCFRIKIN DEMANITUS I LOVED THIS!!! THE MOMENT VARIAN SAW HIMSELF IN THE WATER COMPLETLY BROKE ME!!!
See I told you, Moon Varian makes sooooo much more sense than Moon Cass
Why does this song fit Varian better...?
I'm not a fan of MoonVarian but omg I love you for this animatic. Gestures and expressions are *chef kiss
Great job!
I HAVE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
i love the way you draw expressions and your sense of contrast. pLUS GRRRR YOUR VARIAN !!! CHEF'S KISS
Rapunzel: CASS
Me: sees varian
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!! I am here for this Moon Varian content!!!!
I have a strong feeling this was the original plan but the outcry for Varian to return and be redeemed was simply to high.
I think I would of enjoyed season 3 more if it was Varian with the moonstone.

Me: moon child moon child at last ya
my entire mood through this was, oh shoot, oh SHOOT, OH SHOOT
1:29, maybe it's just me, but every time i listen to this song, no matter the platform, even in the show, i hear a phone ringing.
anxiety artist animations I think it’s just the beat tbh
Yooo this is so cool! Varian makes a rlly good villain ngl. :’)
The is what we all needed
You really about to make the fangirls grow stronger and add more by the day

varian should been in season 2 cuz would be so much fun to have him there so he can have his won't episodes for just him
like if u agree
Did I pause at a random moment of the video to make up an au that would lead to this situation in my head and then unpause?
Yes,yes I did
I still get chills everytime I watch this
Disney: **makes Cass take the moonstone**
What Disney should've done:
I’m reading this fan fiction
Of Varian
And he is in the 2nd season
He is going with them on the trip to the dark kingdom
I’m not done yet
But I think they are going to make Varian take the moonstone
I hope they do
That would be awesome
(I love moon Cass tho)
Oh wow. I must thank you. I love this❤❤❤❤Varian💕
The ending gives me chills everytime
2:21 THOSE TWO SHOTD RIGHT NEXT TO EACHOTHER OH MY GOD
Damn.

why is my son so angry
The background instrumental of 0:11 is giving “veronica’s running on-running on fumes now! Veronica’s totally fried!”
You are an amazing animator/artist! Please continue being awesome! 💜
Gotta think about it tho raps probs would have lost and Zhan tiri would never have returned
How so?
Chloe the lucario well idk who else could have deciphered the demanitus scroll which had the black rock and the hope incantation.
cici sourcer well maybe Xavier could have. He knows a lot about legends and Zhan Tiri
Team Awesome maybe so but Xavier is more of a storyteller and( not to bash on him I enjoy his character) I don’t think he be able to figure it out as fast or as well as Varian did.
True and plus man’s gotta help his village
So basically whoever touches the moonstone can have a elsa moment
Also why does this look more like an emo moment for this child lol
So DAMN COOL LOVING THIS VIDEO!!!
Perfect I love this animatic 🤩🤩🤩
I honestly am glad he got redeemed, but I think it would have been awesome if the small piece of the moonstone that broke because Varian's. It would give his hairstripe a reason to exist.
