#raeda moments but with wudashi ship? Yes please I want

[fullofsunsetwhispers]

OMI AND CHASE BEING LIKE LUZ AND EDA IS SUCH A CUTE COMPARISON

Thanks! Originally I was in favor of 'Wuya and Eda are alike' idea. Back then, I had the urge to put XS characters in places of Toh characters. Not even a crossover, this au would have a similar plot to TOH but with XS characters instead. I wanted so badly for Jack to find friends in the demon realm I made him 'Luz'. Jack would meet Wuya – the most recognizable criminal witch on the Boiling Isles and her little roommate – Omi.

My decision to put Omi in King’s place was based on the fact both King and Omi tend to be boastful (and extremely cute!). Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay = the hexide kids. Dashi would take Raine’s role because Raeda and Wudashi are my OTPs and hey. You have to admit Dashi would look astonishing in Raine’s outfit!

I haven’t decided on whom to assign the role of Willow, Amity, and Gus. And I’m not fully convinced if I want Jack to find a significant other, so no equivalent of Lumity in this au! Moreover, I think Tiny Sim from XC could be a nice Mattholomule. Apart from that, I’ve figured out Shadow Young is perfect for the role of a grimwalker.

Both Hunter and Shadow were born in weird circumstances and share that ‘gold theme’ (well in shadow’s case – her disguise was more connected to gold but it was enough for me)

This version of au also had Chase as a potions’ guy, who sells treatments to Wuya’s curse. Of course, Omi has taken an interest in that mysterious grumpy man so Omi and Chase become good friends <3 damn, Chase also turns out to be a skilled witch as well and he teaches Omi some of his tricks!

The main problem, tho, lay in the most important part of s01 of Toh. No one is in Lilith's place because in XS it is unknown whether Wuya has a family or not. Ultimately, I intended to put Princess Kaila in Lilith's place and Hannibal Roy Bean could be Emperor Belos.

However, once I thought that through I discovered the conflict between the Clawthorne sisters is quite similar to what Chase and Guan have going on in xiaolin showdown.

Guan has tried for many centuries to bring Chase to the side of good with the same determination Lilith tried to convince Eda to join the Emperor's Coven.

I dare even assume Guan and Chase's friendship was as strong as the Clawthorne sisters' bond. (btw bless chase's smile. Lilith's smile is so cute too.)

But because of Guan and Lilith's greed, everything has changed. Once friends, now enemies.

(Mind you, Lilith and Guan have almost the same pose in these two screencaps! Ain't that a cool detail?)

Apart from that, I had my mind blown when I compared these two screencaps:

Lilith and Guan sure know how to swing their weapons!

They both tend to be very shady.

Guan has traded Dojo in order to redeem his Spear.

And Lilith has cursed Eda in order to secure for herself a position in the Emperor's Coven.

Not only did they sacrifice something even tho they knew someone might get hurt but they also share one particular trait. They both feel as if they never were good enough. Lilith is overshadowed by Eda's wild magic. Guan from the alternate timeline, on the other hand, had accepted HR's offer because he wanted to be the most powerful person in the world and he knew that he can't compete against Dashi and Chase. (It wasn't said directly in the show but I do believe Bean had bribed Guan with the same tricks as Chase. That is, Guan has heard fake!Chase say Guan will be in his shadow or sth)

Hence, Lilith and Guan's fear is becoming inadequate.

I just think that decision to make Guan and Chase have Clawthorne sister's arc fits even TOO well.

As you can see, in light of these afterthoughts I should change almost everything. For example,

Chase = Eda

Guan = Lilith

Omi= Luz

Jack = Hunter (someone had mentioned Jack could be a great grimwalker and I do see that bc Hunter and jack share some habits and personality traits.) (+ Luz and Hunter are found family and of course, I want more Omi-Jack brotherly moments so that tracks)

These are all great ideas and I can't make up my mind :( Because all Eda- Luz moments remind me either of nicer!Wuya and Jack or Chase and Omi and I love both duos! But Guan as Lilith makes more sense! Idk maybe I could manage to make both Wuya and Chase share Eda's story?? So One XS character would be a mix of 2 toh characters???? Let's say it's a work in progress.

Oh, and for a nice finish, I can even compare two Lilith-Eda's interactions to some Chase-Dashi bickering.

In Covention, Eda is annoying her sister and starts rhyming. Yup, the same scene but it's Dashi saying puns, and Chase warns him: 'One more pun. I dare you'. And a second later Chase hits Dashi because he refused to stop telling jokes xD

And when Eda shouted to Lulu 'I'm gonna get there before you!', Lilith was so shocked she exclaimed: 'No, you won't!' and started running after her. Yeah, it's also Dashi pulling Chase's leg. Because grown-ass men also deserve to act like 5-year-olds from time to time.

Thank you for bearing with me. I racked my brain and you, dear reader, were patient enough to accompany me in my chaotic thought process!

#ask #xs x toh au idea(s) #lilith and guan's parallels #now i can't decide if I want Wuya as a raven mom #or Chase as the tiger dad #yes wuya's palisman could be a stone-wooden raven while chase's palisman could be a tiger! #no one asked for it but have an elaborate post with two au variations #chase and omi as eda and luz? Of course cute! #(sniff) but damn if only Wuya was nicer to jack in the original xs. That's why I want her to be like Eda. Jack deserves found family mom! #and I have to admit Shadow = Hunter IS INTERESTING #raeda moments but with wudashi ship? Yes please I want
