Greetings I have a finished vector graphic of a toon bear for a children's notebook. Now I want to give outlines variable/random thickness so they look more "rough" and childish. How can I have outlines to be irregular in Inkscape? God bless you all

Well you can't do it by using strokes (the common way to do outlines in SVG), because a stroke's width can't vary over one object. You can do it manually by using the calligraphy tool and just drawing outlines over top of the shapes you've already made.
You might be able to automate it by duplicating an object, setting a thick stroke, converting the stroke to a path, adding some nodes with the Add Nodes effect under Effects -> Modify Path, then playing around with the Jitter Nodes effect under Effects -> Modify Path. But probably drawing the outlines with the calligraphy tool will be easier.
I'm not sure if this appropiate in your case but one way to do it would be:
convert stroke to path (Ctrl+Alt+C) Effects->Modify path->add nodes Effects->Modify path->jitter nodes
You can play a little bit with the params of both effects to get better results.
Hope it helps.
