AU where Vlad is this fiercely competitive PTA parent for Elle who fights other parents at bake sales.

Mainly because the stereotype of aggressive PTA moms on tv is made funnier if you toss a supervillian with OP powers into the mix.

Okay, I was just going to ignore and delete this, but someone just sent me a question asking about certain things I tend to put in my stories, such as Ruddiger being Regulus, Andrew being nice, Kline existing and being a True Seer and Moon Varian being unkillable.

There were some other things said, but let's just talk about these points.

First of all, I try to stay consistent with my fics. Fics made after a certain lore being added will have that lore in them, and fics that were made before it, if it's not too late to add it, get it included after the fact. These are things that make my fics recognizable, my "brand". So, yes, I will keep using my established lore in my fics. If my friends also want to, with my permission, they may. For example, DisneyChick2020 has the Saporians being redeemed in one of their fics because that's made from an RP we are actively doing. But, for the most part, it's just in my fics. I don't go into other people's fics saying "Hey, actually, the Saporians are nice and blahblahblah". No. While I do point out that the Herz Der Sonne book and the Saporian War story has enough plotholes in it to count as swiss cheese in the comment section of my own fics and during conversations with people that aren't in the comment section of THEIR fics, I don't demand people do the same thing.

So, let's get into the points they made.

Ruddiger being Regulus: I KNOW that this isn't canon. Hell, according to canon, Demanitus only had three students and Zhan Tiri took them all, but at the same time they also said at some point that Demanitus' and Zhan Tiri's forces battled. Which means that Demanitus had more students and Zhan Tiri had more than three followers. Looking over the series, the people in the woods that turn people into birds glow a very familiar green when they are defeated, when Cassandra breaks the teapot. Now, this could be nothing, Demanitus also glows green when he uses his powers, but half the Demanitus stuff is pretty much debunked in season 1 and season 3 and even earlier in season 2. (He claimed to not be a sorcerer, but his device was clearly science and magic, and in season 3 we learned that Demanitus used a mind-swapping machine to swap with his pet Vigor, he didn't actually turn himself into a monkey like he claimed in the maze.)

Anyways, I am aware that Ruddiger is not canonly a human turned into a raccoon, but I am not the only one to do this, with one example being him being Zhan Tiri's brother before, not her student. So, leave Regulus alone, okay?

Andrew being nice: I have explained this before, but every chance that he had to be a detestable person and kill people, he didn't. His first appearance, he was Cassandra's long-distance boyfriend that had an ulterior motive (so did Cassandra) and when he got what he wanted, he didn't kill the witnesses. In fact, he wasn't the one to remind Cassandra about the book, she reminded him.

"But, Zone, he tried to stab her in the back!" Okay, look, I know nothing about how to fight, but even I know that raising your sword high to strike someone is a really stupid idea. Even without the shadow alerting her, she would have detected him. If he wanted to stab her in the back, he would have stabbed her low, right around the tailbone, to incapacitate her and possibly put her in a wheelchair for life. But, leading up to this, he let them see his necklace and the very recognizable Separatists of Saporia insignia, never mentioned the book after the initial explanation of how they met, and even questioned Cassandra on if it was even possible to get to the book at that hour. Once all excuses were out of the way, he was ready to take the book and go, but mission rules state to kill all witnesses. When it came down to it, though, he couldn't. He attacked her in a way she would easily detect and, when Rapunzel distracted Cassandra, turned the tables after being held at swordpoint and made the girls, the Captain of the Guard's daughter and the Princess of the Kingdom he wanted to overthrow, chain themselves to the pedestal and then took the book and left. He had them chained up, important people that killing them would surely cripple Corona for a bit, and he let them live. He was too gentle to kill them.

They get free and come after him, he fights Cassandra, but never kills her despite having many chances to. He gets arrested and locked away. Time skip until Season 3.

Rapunzel returns to find out the Saporians and Varian have taken over. Andrew is hardened by prison and a better fighter, but Varian is comfortable around Andrew and the other Saporians, even making a silent, smirking in-joke with Clementine in reference to the Wand of Oblivium, which Rapunzel had dealt with before, implying she knew the story and had told Varian about it. This implies that Andrew and the Saporians had been treating Varian well.

They fight Rapunzel and her friends and Raps and Co lose but escape and are found by the Resistance. The Saporians go out right after they are knocked outside, but fail to find them and correctly assume they were found by the Resistance. Things become tense and even Varian is speaking stiffly as he works. But, let's rewind a bit: No one died or was even hurt during the earlier battle. We later learn that Varian had them promise to not seriously hurt anyone (Feldspar's behavior implies that he DID allow punishments), but if they were as mean as people believe, why would they bother keeping the promise? Why would they later try to reason with him, with Andrew taking the lead with that attempt? And when Varian turned on him, they lock him up and don't hurt him in any way. (Aside from the emotional damage from embarrassing himself in front of everyone after such a dramatic speech. Even Rapunzel was disappointed in him. 😒)

After escaping prison, Rapunzel and Varian go to stop the Saporians and they fight them, with Andrew eventually grabbing Varian and holding him over the railing of the ship, reminding him that traitors don't live in Saporia. However, despite the proclamation, he hesitates to actually drop him, to let go and watch him fall to his death. He hesitates long enough for Pascal to knock into him and he never lets go, even when he's knocked off-balance. He had the opportunity to kill, knew he had to, and didn't. Yes, he cut the rope and everyone ended up going overboard but Varian and Rapunzel, but that still gave them an opportunity to not die. (Especially if you follow my hc and they have wind magic).

So, yes, Andrew isn't a terrible person, and was clearly pretty nice since Varian was so comfortable with him and even was okay with him and Clementine being in his lab while he wasn't watching them - to compare, when Eugene came into his lab in "Cassandra's Revenge", he watched him warily the entire time and was very tense around the Coronans compared to the relaxed confidence with the Saporians when he's first seen with them.

So, yes, others may hc disturbing, abusive things, but canon says otherwise and I agree that Andrew is not abusive or overly violent.

Let's move on.

Kline: Dude, Kline is not a dues ex machina. He has knowledge about certain things, but he doesn't have all the answers of the universe. He's not freakin' Bill Cipher (who is also in my lore as being involved with Zhan Tiri until she decided to go her own way and yeeted her connection to him), he's just the most accurate fortune teller that is a lot less cryptic than Demanitus/Vigor. And even if he does know things, he cannot share it without the permission of the Cosmos.

Moon Varian can't be killed: He's a God. Gods can't be killed unless they are made mortal. This is something that Disney's "Hercules" made very clear. Varian and Rapunzel cannot die unless they have lost their powers in some way, down to the last drop. Zhan Tiri and Cassandra would have been unkillable without losing the Moonstone, too. I don't even know why you are questioning why Varian can't be killed, why someone trying to kill him would turn him into a full God, with his powers activating and destroying whatever was trying to kill him. You cannot kill a God. When Hercules was dying, his Godly powers came back in full, even in the Underworld itself.

Now, the reason I didn't just reply to your comment with all of this is because it was, frankly, very rude. And instead of lashing out emotionally, I decided to take some time, write this out, and reply this way. Also, doing it this way prevents dogpiling.

I hope this answered all your questions.
