" Dark Traveler" Moongene concept for the Tangled New Moon AU!

Hi everyone! After 3 years... I finally have for you Moongene design 2.0 (see my original here). I started working on this in January 2021... I can't believe how long this took me, but it's finally finished! 😭😭

I've kinda left the classic Moongene AU behind and fully dived into our New Moon AU (hence only half of the Moonstone :P)

I thought about how Eugene would be able to come up with something a bit more fashionable than a black unitard, and eventually would be able to change his outfits on the go. I had a good dozen of outfit designs on my mind, this being one of them - a combination of his usual outfit with the vest plus the winter outfit, but I also kept some of the elements from my first Moongene design. I have also designed a new sword for him - black rock imbued with the Moonstone's power. I just didn't want him to have the Shadowblade, he deserves something a bit more epic looking 😌😌

One key aspect of Eugene's arc in the AU is him coming to terms with having such massive power. Initially he very much struggles to control it, but with the help of Rapunzel and their lil' reptile buddies, Eugene learns to control his emotions, and with that, his powers.

We all know that the Moonstone is the opposite of the Sundrop and is incredibly destructive. But just as the Sundrop has a dark, corrosive side to it, I thought about the Moonstone also having a light side (ying and yang). With Eugene's will to protect, he would eventually be able to summon opal-like crystals as a shield. So the black rocks would be summoned mainly for destructive purposes, and crystals for defending and preserving (hence the crystals on his armour).

So yeah! I hope you guys like this one! If you would like to learn more about the AU or anything feel free to send asks! And then I will disappear for another 3 years... 🙃

Only You to Lose (Moongene Nothing Left to Lose rewrite)

So I developed really bad brain rot from repeatedly listening to Nothing Left to Lose and thoughts of the Moongene AU held me at gun point (I'm no songwriter but I needed to get it out of my system + might edit this at some point if a better lyric comes to mind)

Only You to Lose

R: Eugene please, listen to me I know you think you're doing the right thing But you are making a mistake

We once had it all, we were a team Together for always, or that was our dream I know this feels right But deep down you know it's wrong

Don't you see this path you're on has torn us apart It's for love at first, then it's slowly turn'd dark With each passing day You're further astray from the light

Eugene please, you've lost your way, you're full of hate You've lost your cool, under this weight It's not yours to bare, not all alone Next you'll see you'll lose your heart and lose your soul 'Til you've lost complete control And realize there's nothing left to lose There's so much left to lose

R: Eugene, you of all should know I'm done letting others decide what's best for me- E: You think I'm like her?

E: The path I'm on is a path paved in black I'm taking this road and I can't look back Each twist and each turn Leads straight where I have to go

Yes, it's true, my path is dark but that's the cost I'll do what it takes no matter what's lost So despise me, that's fine I'm doing this all even so

Can't you see It's not for me, I'll stay alone With these rocks, my dark cursed throne I know it hurts, this fate wasn't mine to choose But I had to break your trust and lose my sun It wounds my heart but it must be done Now you're my one thing left to lose I've only you to lose

R: We have so much to hold onto Won't take the chance, no, I refuse Listen please, you've lost your grip (Lose?) And lost your mind (I'm not gonna lose) All's not lost, don't be so blind (I refuse) It's not too late, to start a new (To lose you) R: Oh-oh, choose E: I lose no tears and lose no sleep I know the cost if I stop to weep (It's time for you to choose) You can't stop the turning of the screws

You'll stay there until Cass comes for you. I'll be long gone by then. And just in case you think of following me again.

E: Now I have nothing left to lose

(Eugene's motivation of course being not letting Rapunzel die like his mother did) (and the hate of course being directed at himself for betraying the love of his life and at his father for not being there for him as a child and then dumping this destiny on him LMAO rip bozo)

Moongene concept, lingering Sundrop scars, and bonus RTA s3 rewrite

My friends i’m not an artist, so just take these words and go.

Rapunzel has a clear indicator of her being nearby the Moonstone - her hair floats upward and glows. I think it’d be nice if Eugene had some kind of effect on his body as well.

and uh...season 2 ending rewrite into season 3 AU happened

More under the cut

Eugene has been healed by the Sundrop twice at least.

(I feel like Rapunzel certainly banged him up while putting him in the closet and did a healing when she tied him up in the chair, but eh. It was offscreen and not dramatic enough.)

1st time: Cut on the palm on his hand, healed by wet hair directly on the wound.

2nd time: Stab wound in his stomach, healed by tears on his cheek.

Both of those scars glow when he’s near the Moonstone. He doesn’t know it at all because he’s got his gloves on and his shirt on, but he feels it. His hand sweats, his stomach/liver area is warm. He dismisses it as nerves, but once they’re in the chamber...

“Rapunzel you’re glowing~”

“So are you~” Rapunzel strokes his cheek, where there are bright little dots.

“Aww. wait what?” Eugene flinches, pulls out his compact mirror (because of course that man would have a compact, have you not been paying attention) and pulls off his glove. The scar itself is glowing a steady gold, and there’s a faint impression of hair strands surrounding it, also glowing.

(if Cassandra would have let him open up his shirt, they’d see an impression of the Sundrop flower - perpetually blooming, glow flickering in time with his heart. Arianna also was healed by the Sundrop as well, so she has glowing lips from when she drank the tea.)

“That’s - a nice thing you did, Sunshine.” because clearly it was just happenstance that he was healed and made it here, of all places. And this kind of ties in with my impression of Eugene - that he doesn’t really feel like he’s worth much, he has to upsell himself.

“When you take care of people and things – you go for the burning building first. The kids who broke an arm or are throwing up. Being as independent as I was, I just waited my turn. Other people got affection, I got leftovers.” Secondhand clothes from the older kids and secondhand affection from fans of Flynnigan Rider. He’s just – used to it. It’s what he thinks he deserves.

Edmund may have told him it’s his destiny to protect the Moonstone, that he’s worthy. but it doesn’t sink in. Not until Rapunzel reaches for it, and his scarred hand twitches.

It’s an easy grab, all things considered. Just a dash forward and (ignore that look of pain and shock in her eyes, shut yours tight, man this hurts) Easier than the Crown, at least. The remnants of Sundrop that was in him react with the Moonstone, both protecting him and causing a minor shockwave that throws everyone to the walls.

(he doesn’t want to think about if the full Sundrop made contact, he won’t think about what almost happened, it won’t ever happen, now.)

He looks up. Cassandra is holding Rapunzel back. Betrayal in both of their eyes.

“I can’t let you do this!” He’s not going be be able to get Rapunzel’s trust, her love back.

But he owes her an explanation. “I can’t let you die.”

(aaand cut to black. Cliffhanger baby~ and most of what’s left is an outline of s3, kind of mixing around the episode order too.)

Eugene’s Armor - skill skintight, but he places the Moonstone near his stab scar, the blue band is like a sash across his body.

“Woah oh ho! What a rush!” He looks up at his hair, it’s bright blue and he’s like “No. Bad color.” A silvery white. “heavens no.” black with dark blue strands. “Better.”

“What is going on?”

“The Sundrop - you saw how just a remnant just hurt everyone. I don’t want that for you.” Eugene starts. “If someone can control the Moonstone - retract all of the Black Rocks. That’s it. The world is safe, right?”

“Right.” Rapunzel nods. “But - what’s going to happen to you?”

He laughs, “Isn’t it my luck to be loved by the most compassionate woman in the world?” but he doesn’t answer. There’s not really an answer.

Eugene reaches for his knife, and the Black Rocks just - start encircling him, crawling over his skin. He uses his finger to make a divot and presses the Moonstone inside the hilt.

All at once the power fades. If he calls upon it, he could get armor. (so he couldn’t be hurt again.) But if he doesn’t. “Ah. Finally found a use for my second-favorite knife!” (it’s the knife that is strapped to his leg in his s3 outfit.)

So Eugene and Edmund start working on removing the Rocks. And - it’s great. They’re bonding - Lance has convinced Edmund that he’s his second son, Adira has been accepted back into the fold, there’s viable land underneath and Rapunzel is very sure she sees some curious travelers on the horizon that would like to settle down.

They’ve already made a new Caravan and were just about to leave, removing the Black Rocks on the path back to Corona. The other mystery this season is how to remove the Sundrop from Rapunzel. They want to stop by the Great Tree and research the library there - it may have an answer.

...and then the Balloon comes, and Rapunzel has to go back to her Kingdom immediately to save it from the Saporians.

Eugene can’t leave, he has to take the slow path back to Corona. Lance stays behind with him. They use Hamuel as their mail service.

(So instead of Rapunzel being betrayed by Cassandra and feeling her absence, wanting to reach out and come back and be friends again, how to deal with a friend fallout, it’s Rapunzel missing her partner Eugene, and how to deal with being apart from the person you love, and appreciating the other people in your life a bit more.)

They deal with the Saporians - instead of Eugene picking the lock to the jail cell, Cassandra gets the spare key since she knows where it is.

Most of the episodes do fine with Cassandra pinch-hitting for Eugene. She gets to be Captain like she’s always wanted, since her father is in the wind. But it’s not really fulfilling - she still has to listen to Rapunzel, and the Guards still listen to Rapunzel - Cassandra is slowly getting frustrated.

“King and Queen of Hearts” Rapunzel is missing Eugene fierce and is pouring all of that romantic energy into making Arianna and Fredrick remember and love each other again. She sees how Cassandra is trying to help and thanks her.

The “Return of the King” episode is actually a check back in on Eugene and Lance, and it’s combined with “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?” because I still want Lance to be a Dad. Eugene is able to let his father know he belongs in Corona with Rapunzel - and Catalina speaks up and wants to go with them.

“Islands Apart” - Cassandra gets to confront her father about everything. His favorite version of her is a little girl - he still sees her as a kid and she’s mad about it.

“No time like the Past” is a story that Lance is telling Angry and Catalina while they’re on the road. Eugene is just like “eughh I miss my wife tails...i miss her a lot.”

“Race to the Spire” is a split perspective episode, Eugene and Lance find out about the Mind Trap, send Hamuel to tell Rapunzel, and they race there. Rapunzel and Cassandra race there as well. There’s a Reunion and it’s glorious and sweet.

“Be Very Afraid” is Eugene’s fears getting the better of him now that he’s back in Corona, and it’s affecting the Black Rocks, turning them Red. Solved like Canon, but Eugene has his fears solved with help from Cassandra and Lance, because - yeah they are his friends.

“Cassandra’s Revenge” is changed to Cassandra getting frustrated and stealing the Moonstone for One Episode Only. Rapunzel and her have a big battle talk, and she sets the Moonstone down and fully steps down from being Captain of the Guard, feeling like it’s not her.

“Flynnposter” Cassandra is there tracking down Brock-as-Flynn, so she sees how much he’s changed from the start. Cass nominates Eugene as Captain of the Guard. (but we all know it’s Maximus that’s really in charge.)

“A Tale of Two Sisters” this is where the reveal of Cassandra being Gothel’s kid goes - it’s a rough reveal for both of them. Cassandra is starting to learn that it’s not her origins that make her who she is. But also Rapunzel is a Princess and is a Princess and Eugene is a Prince is a Prince so...that doesn’t hit really well.

Edmund “disowns” Eugene and Lance so they don’t have to go back to the rebuilt Dark Kingdom. “We’re orphans...again.”

The Demanitus Scroll has a way to combine a person with magic and then separate a person from their magic. So they use it on Rapunzel so she’s normal - well. more normal than magical.

and uhh...for the finale we can have Hector pop back up trying to steal the Mind Trap because he’s worried that someone is going to control him and the Brotherhood. Culminating in him stealing the Moonstone, controlling the Brotherhood so the same doesn’t happen to him.

Cue huge finale fight.

Cassandra actually tries to reach out to Hector, saying she understands what it is to chase after a dream and be loyal to something that isn’t their destiny. This works. And Cassandra and Hector go traveling into the sunset as besties, trying to live their own lives.

Rapunzel and Eugene live happily ever after, as if that was even in question.

Hi, im a bit lost in fandom in general and just found your blog, i hope you dont mind my asking this. You mention every now and then there being some hatedom-y niches, is it related to any political or significative offline division? Not trying to make you single out anyone, just curious whether this was a bigotry problem as in star wars, hp or other bigger sagas or just people being rude (not that its very good either). Thanx

kind…of

the hatedom-y side of the tts fandom largely exists in this weird intersection between 1. people who are outraged that the nerdy teen boy wasn’t the protagonist of the disney princess cartoon, 2. people who wanted tts to be the sweet slice of life adventures of eugene and his girlfriend, and 3. people with a bone to pick with the sexism and (more rarely) racism inherent in the narrative itself; which creates this…odd dynamic where like, you get people furiously and correctly condemning tts for, say, sidelining the only living mom in the whole series or treating the only character of color in the main cast like an idiot manbaby who needs to be babysat by a child half his age—but then those exact same people will turn around and seethe because cassandra had the audacity to be the deuteragonist instead of their male character of choice gmfjdkdh

( which imo is one of the reasons why a lot of moonvarian / moongene content isn’t… especially good; the au concepts in and of themselves have lots of potential! but more often than not they end up kind of awkwardly railroading varian/eugene into cassandra’s narrative role bc they’re coming from a place of thinking she “stole” that from one of them gkfhdks. see also, the “chris changed the story to spite varian fans” flavor of moonvarian conspiracy, in defiance of all evidence that moon!cass was the plan from the very beginning. )

and then sort of parallel to that there is a lot. A LOT. of fandom racism vis-a-vis how the separatists of saporia are handled in fanworks, particularly in varian-centric circles where they get twisted into cackling sadistic monsters in order to facilitate varian angst. but that’s not exclusive to the hatedom-y side, the whole fandom does it /:

to an extent i think the tts hatedom is kinda… like there’s always this underlying misogyny in the way hatedomy folks interpret and talk about cassandra (and often, rapunzel) but it’s also largely comprised of people who are at least nominally socially progressive and have seized on the, very real, issues tts has with its portrayals of women and people of color as a way of legitimizing their hatred of the show (and of chris sonnenburg, who of course gets blamed 100% for everything bad and given zero credit for anything good, because god forbid we acknowledge that anyone else involved in the creation of this show might have a smidgen of agency or responsibility for how it turned out! lmao surely tts would have been perfect if only the crusty cishet white man who is sort of abrasive on twitter weren’t the one in charge 🙄)—so delving into the hatedom often ends up feeling like “lol okay, nice views you have in this glass house of yours”

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

worth noting here is that 9 times out of 10 when hatedom-y fans start talking about sexism or racism in tts itself it’s for the sake of shitting on sonnenburg vs like, trying to have meaningful or constructive critical discussions of the text or of trends in fanwork—as with any hatedom, when the focus is on proving the validity of one’s hatred for a piece of media, eventually the cynical hatemongering subsumes everything else and it all starts to feel more than a little unhinged. the most egregious example of this is of course the tangled salt marathon

#the most interesting thing abt the tts hatedom is def the sonnenburg anti-varian conspiracy tho #that one was actively fabricated by mods of the big tts discord #using screenshots of comments #(whose context they *lied about* lmao)#and trying to construe stuff like chris saying #‘varian is a supporting character’#as character bashing akfjkdngkf #like there’s a small handful of varian stans #mostly thirty year olds !!#who are directly responsible for cultivating the martyr complex a lot of varian fans have wrt chris ‘hating’ them #it’s very weird
