I love the āVigilanteā artwork that you posted, and Iām very intrigued by your Wild Kratts medieval AU! Can you tell me more??
Sorry itās taken me so long to answer thisā the holidays have kept me very busy!First of all, let me just say that Iām so happy youāre interested! I kind of see you as a Wild Kratts fandom mom so Iām all āš±šššøā right now. š
No I donāt get asks much why do you ask
Anyhoozle, the AU. This is going to get a little longā sorry about that. It actually started with a different medieval AU, which I made art for here. Later, I was chatting with my friend @maxpanzer about it, and she suggested a different storyline based off of the song āReady As Iāll Ever Beā from Tangled the Series.Ā
Yep. Thatās how it started. ššš
So, the idea here is that Donita is queen over a smallish country/fiefdom/whatever, and not a very good one (although thatās a no-brainer, I suppose). When Chris and Martin were very young, they lost their parents in a disease outbreak. A few years afterward, the two brothers lose each other in a fire in their villageā a fire that Donita started for a construction project, but got out of control. Both of the brothers think that the other is dead, but they react in very different ways.
Martin, having had a carpentry apprenticeship before the accident happened, continues said apprenticeship, although he hardly knows how to go on. Heās lost his little brotherā his best friend, who he promised his parents heād protect. Heās completely alone in the world, and he doesnāt know what to do anymore. He keeps on, however, as much as he wants for everything to just end. He never returns to the village he and Chris lived in, thoughā he canāt bear to remind himself of the accident. He wants to forget it all (not Chris, of course. Just the accident).
He chooses to travel around, never staying in one place for very long. He helps people rebuild their homes and lives, and constructs homes for animals to keep them safe. He helps everyone he can along the way.
Chrisās life after the accident is drastically different. He, too, is completely alone, but he doesnāt have the stability and security of an apprenticeship and is too young to get one. He wanders about, searching for help from someone, anyone. As time goes on, he falls in with the worst kinds of people, who teach him to fight and to hate. In such an environment, and with such a young, impressionable mind, his grief and anger fester, twisting into something darker, uglier. He becomes hell-bent on revenge, building a rock-hard shell around his broken heart. After all, what does he have left to live for?
(Obviously Chris still has a pure heart beneath all the hatred and desperation, and he and Martin will find each other again at some point. But not until theyāve had some angst. š We havenāt figured out exactly how things work out just yet, but thereās a lot more art of this AU in the works. ;D)
