#vilidia tangled au

Tangled AU with vilidia mayhaps?

Idia would be Rapunzel and Vil would be Flynn Rider. I wanna include the Ortho somewhere, so he would be Pascal (the chameleon) and Rook & Epel can be Maximus (the horse)(yes I'm separating the horse into two characters, Epel deserves to be present as well)

Crowley could be Mother Gothel it doesn't make sense but I can't think of anyone else. Those bandit brothers can be either Ace and Deuce or Leona and Ruggie idk.

I think this would just be a very funny au, them just going through the plot and some key differences. Like Vil's motivation as a thief, I don't think he would be stealing for money, maybe he can be a beauty thief and steals for the glamor or something.

I am shaking you so hard rn auacauav this is genius

I’m kind of thinking who would be a good Mother Gothel. It would have to be someone that wants to take advantage of Idia’s cursed (or I guess blessed in this?) hair. Crowley could be a default option. I guess that would make STYX Idia’s kingdom? That part fits really well.

Ortho could be a good Pascal! Maybe instead of being his humanoid form, he could be one of the Cerberus robots just with sentience! That way he’s more of an animal companion.

Rook and Epel is actually genius for Maximus but. I. I just imagined them in one of those two parter horse Halloween costumes. Epel is the butt Rook is the head.

But! It would be really cool if Epel and Rook were also a snuggly duckling parallel too? Like maybe Rook is Maximus since he kind of has the same energy of ‘proper, but not afraid to get his hand (or hooves??) dirty’. Meanwhile Epel has the outer cuteness inner toughness even more inner cuteness vibe of the Snuggly Duckling group.

I’m just rambling at this point

I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of Leona and Ruggie being the bandit brothers 10/10 it actually fits so well. (Even tho idk why they would work with Crowley? Ehhh ideas for later)

OMG THOUGHTS

Going back to the snuggly duckling group. It’s the first years. I just. It’s the first years. They deserve it.

Also Vil being a thief is really interesting because I’m not sure why he would be one. Maybe he would be a Robin Hood type that means well? Stealing from the rich giving to the poor kind of guy. I think that would fit his energy because he would want to be the hero.

vilidia tangled au anon once again lol

one minor detail that escaped me when I made my second ask was how Rook's role as Maximus would go. In the movie Maximus is very aggressive towards Flynn (I am rewatching the movie as of writing this ask for better accuracy) so Rook as Maximus would definitely be different.

He still works for the royal guards, and at the beginning of the movie he acts almost 1:1 to how Maximus is. However at the scene where Rapunzel tames Maximus; but instead of him being tamed by Idia, he like... hears out Vil and learns why he steals, and from there his attitude towards Vil is much like how it is in the game.

Waittttt that’s so cute. I do think people like the snuggly duckling group and the guards would be a little bit more sympathetic to Vil than they are to Flynn Rider, because he isn’t a complete scumbag and has good intentions

vilidia Tangled au anon here.

Ok so first off, I love the first years being the snuggly duckling group it fits them so well actually.

I actually originally had just Rook being Maximus, but then I realized I wanted Epel to be part of the group too so I included him in being Maximus as well. But him being apart of the snuggly ducklings makes a lot more sense, but I still want him to join them in travelling to Corona (Or STYX in case)(Corona is the name of the kingdom). So let's say that Epel ends up running away with Idia and Vil when the guards show up at the bar.

I don't know much about the Cerberus bots, but Ortho being one but with sentience is a nice idea. Now the question is can/does he talk? Because maybe we can do this thing where he can shift between dog form and humanoid form, since his Cerberus gear does have him standing upright. But if we're going to stick with him being an animal sidekick then he can just be a robot dog that has sentience.

Vil being a robin hood type is a really good idea, since Flynn's motives of being a thief as far as I can recall is "I wanna be rich". So Vil doing all his thieving for the greater good works wonders.

As for Ruggie and Leona's motivation to working with Crowley, in the movie the bandits brothers (if I recall correctly) work with Mother Gothel to get revenge on Flynn because Flynn left them behind to get caught. So in this au we can go either way, 1. It's the same as the movie or 2. They hate Vil since he's causing trouble for them and other thieves, so getting the chance to screw him over is the perfect opportunity for them.

ALSO I think Idia should be in dress, like yes you can put in him a pants and shirt, but him being in a dress is funnier in my opinion. Also the running of joke of Flynn's wanted posters always having the wrong nose should stick around too, Vil getting increasingly frustrated they never get it right is funny to me.

I forgot this AU exists it’s been so long 😭😭

I don’t know if I mentioned this before but Rook being in Maximus’s role fits so perfectly because of the parallels with the hunter from Snow White. Him switching sides once he realizes who Idia is >>>>

Also I feel like Ortho would just have to be a sentient robot dog in this AU. Unless the Mother Gothel parallel decided to steal/make Idia a younger brother instead of getting him a pet. That would be a wild thing to happen

Also Vil isn’t as selfish as Flynn is so I think the Robin Hood comparison works well

Omg wait the reason Leona hates Vil is because they’re exes. They have the divorced dynamic in this AU too /j

Ok ok seriously I think maybe Vil’s morality got in the way of a job and maybe he caused the three of them to fail a mission and lose a lot of money. That would probably make those two dislike him enough to go against him

Also. Idia in a dress. Yes. I approve it would be cute

Also sobbing Vil would absolutely have that same gag he would get so annoyed I’m crying
