That's because VARIABLES_LOADED is a bad event to use for addon initialization and has been bad since WoW 3.1 or something like that
You either want ADDON_LOADED with arg1 == 'YourAddonName' which guarantees saved variables initialization but not much else or even better PLAYER_LOGIN which ensures player information (including name / realm) are available.
