#maybe something related to the countries folklore or something that matches their personality idk

What is a fandom event if not procrastinating to do it in favor of discussing HCs?

Okay but this is a very difficult question indeed. I think both work but it would be two different AUs (like the little mermaid one). I think i have a suggestion for angles in both ways and you can choose what you’re more in the mood for:

Martin i think matches more the beast because of how impulsive and angry-driven he can be, but also he’s a big softy inside and just wants to be loved etc. But now he lost his good looks and all that is in his exterior is his worst impulses and tendencies, without the charm (bc yk its hard to be charming while looking like a monster). Lulu on the other hand is the beautiful villager everyone likes, but we know his a little devil at heart and finds that life boring and lacking on thrill. So i think as AUs go this one is closer to the source material in their personalities and motivations. I like it specially because i like when martin is very openly angry and hotheaded lol plus we get him figuring out true love they grow closer

With luciano as the beast i think we can go a little differently, and have martin be also a dear jock to the villagers, but one who sees himself as a sort of protector to these people, their knight in a shiny armor, so when he hears someone (doesn’t even need to be his family) has been captured by a horrible beast he’s the first to take his horse and ride to the castle to save the person, whatever that costs. He goes expecting a fight but is presented with a totally different type of self-sacrifice, which is of course to trade his life for the person. Lulu as the beast i think wouldn’t seem as angry, but scary in a quieter way. So their dynamic might be a little different, maybe martin would try to escape more times or even try to kill him a few times in the start, and only warm up to him as he finds out pieces of truth about him.

We can also go on totally different directions in any of these, I’m just sharing some inicial thoughts to get this au going :D

First BrArg Sunday of the year? 👀 maybe beauty in the beast AU or something else you have in mind (if you want to/aren’t busy etc)

I literally entered twice to your inbox thi morning to send a beauty and the beast au ask but went back like "no i shouldnt, we're close to the secret santa dead line and knowing us im sure we're all busy" but you come to my door I CANT SAY NO FUCK YES BEAUTY AND THE BEAST AU LETS GO

Sooooooo before we let imagination lose, we need to settle a very important very difficult query: which one of our boys is the human and which one is the beast?
