first thing i do when i come back to tumblr is force my dumb stupid au on thee because these are the consequences of joining a fandom early
some stuff doesnt make sense yet cos i made this up very recently so listen to my try an fix this below 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
first order of the court: what au is this??? haha lol u silly goose this is haunted hotel au based on—YOU GUESSED IT!!!— the haunted hotel series on netflix becos i like the 1700s demon boy
next : catalina is still a werewolf and that happened because something in the hotel cursed her and shes keeping it because funny ok? ok.
next next: why is varian-tiri wearing two different outfits (season 1 and season 3), and to that i say, good question i dont know why. i liked varians season 1 outfit because it makes him look more….. dead in this au but he literally has to be in season 3 for this to work so uhh imagine he just changed back to his old clothes or something in between getting possessed and now lol
see, i planned originally that in the final episode of tts, just before zhan tiri is about to combust or something, as a last ditch resort she just decides to take over the kids body and uhhh i guess SOMEONE (im currently staring at either the brotherhood or king fredICK) decided “hey i dont think we can fix this, lets just try and get the demon outta there by like ancient ritual power or whateva yolo lmao” and look what happened now theyre stuck together and immortal
THATS ANOTHER THING, this au is like a mixture concotion of multiple aus including: reincarnation, two minds in one body, and the general haunted hotel au.
to explain the reincarnation au, i didnt really want varian wandering through time over and over again because idk i didnt want to, so i made the idea that now he’s (they’re, actually sorry becos its zhan tiri and varian) immortal and has to continuously watch his friends get reborn and die and reborn and die and whatever and basically the land where the hotel stands on is where the og corona castle was i guess maybe they just turned the castle into a hotel sorry im not good at this
NEXT AND MY MOST FAVORITE IDEA: zhan tiri and varian share the same body basically. i know in the original haunted hotel its the demon that takes full control of the vessel but i counldnt make this au without my favorite boy so instead it goes like this: over time while zhan tiri is stuck in this body, her soul eventually begins to mesh together with varian’s so they have this SUN-AND-MOON FROM FNAF TYPE THING where Varian’s side of conciousness is awakened when something he likes is present (ruddiger, alchemy, whateva whatver) and the rest of the time its zhan tiri and her… whatever she does
also yes lance is dead im sorry he wouldve loved nathan from haunted hotel i think im not sure. and yes catalina and kiera know this, they are SOMEWHAT Fine with it because “hey, look, ghost dad” but at the same time they are not okay with it because “oh… look. ghost dad.” so thats why rapunzel and euegen and cassandra are there, not just to inherit the hotel of euegene’s dead brother, but to care for their nieces!!!!! yay!!!
also also i didnt know what to do about the cassandra rapunzel and eugene situation so its up to you personally ig to determine if rapunzel and eugene as a couple are dragging cass into this mess or its poly because uknighted dream lowk goated
thats it bye sorry for being dead ummm burgor
