So, Tiktok has struck again and introduced me to an AU i've come to gain a liking to. What is this AU, you may ask. Well, it is a crossover AU that I, and propably some others, like to refer to as the "Tepes siblings" AU.
So for context. The "Tepes siblings" AU follows a sort of alternate reality where Draculaura from Monster High, Alucard from Castlevania, and Mavis from Hotel Transylvania are all Half-Siblings of the same father, that being the Castlevania rendition of Dracula.
Now, this AU is interesting because well, try to imagine preppy pink Draculaura in a setting as dark as castlevania. What makes this even better, and also somewhat more complicated, is the timeline in what order the three Tepes siblings were born.
The Draculaura version this AU likes to go with is, understandably so, the G1 version of Draculaura. This gives us a proper reference to when she was born, as in 2012, the Monster High movie "Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love" was released. This movie, while also featuring a rather terrible love square in my opinion, also revolves around the fact that Draculaura is becoming 1600 years old. With the movie featuring it being released in 2012, we can calculate that Draculaura was born somewhere around 412, putting her in the potition of being the oldest Tepes sibling.
This in turn also mean that, while Dracula was going murder happy on that town that killed Lisa, Draculaura was probably chilling in the castle..coping with her dad being a mass muderer i guess.
Then There's Alucard. We know him, we love him, let's get on with it. Now, research showed me that Alucard was born around the year of 1456, granting him the middle child curse.
Now, Mavis is where this AUs logistics get...difficult. Mavis is actually the only one of the Tepes siblings for whom we have an exact birthday, September 28 1894. The complications about this part is that Mavis wouldn't have been born until 102 years after Castlevania: Nocturne, which takes place during the French revolution in 1792.
So, if you wanna stick to those timelines, then you wouldn't be able to write an all three Tepes Siblings AU of the Castlevania series, not without some time travel shenanigans. Then again, when it comes to fanfic authors, cannon timelines are more like guidelines anyway. Optional, but not a must.
But this makes it kinda funny, and also sad, that every single time Dracula falls in love and marries, the wife he married is bound to die in some horrid way. Draculaura's mom died from illness, Alucard's mom was burned at the stake, and Mavis' mom was burned alive by a group of angry villagers, the only difference with Alucard's mom being that Mavis' mom died in a burning building.
Also, cannon character lore showed that Mavis' mom was the only of Dracula's three wives who lived and died as a Vampire, as both Draculaura and Alucard's moms died human. Don't worry, Mavis' mom was already a Vampire when she and Dracula met...while on a vacation in Hawaii none the less.
Fun fact: In the original Dracula novel by Bram Stoker, Dracula actually has three wives.
Also to note, Draculaura's mom is called Camilla, Alucard's mom is called Lisa, and Mavis' mom is called Martha. Also, if you wanna get really to the T with the cannon character lore, Draculaura's adopted.
Anyway, do with that info what you will, bye!
