I fucking hate Percedal family and TristEva ship, so I'm making them different way for my AU

This will be a bit of a mess, with poorly organized info/headcanons and character changes. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Changes:

1) Tristepin and Eva aren't a couple. Sorry, guys, but these two are basically just immature, irresponsible idiots who had sex without protection and are now dealing with bullshit with kids. I don't believe in their love, so let's take a different approach (no, of course, i could make it romantic, but that would be too much work, which I don't want to do);

2) No thisd child, twins only;

3) The Persidal family, due to Eva's job (and the kids need socialization), doesn't live in the middle of nowhere, but in the kingdom of Sadida, but also in a slightly remote area;

4) Tristepin isn't the reincarnation of the god Iop. It's a very tedious topic, but in short, I don't like that the guy is essentially a reincarnation of a fucking monster, yet this fact is never explored (it's clear you can't shove something like that into a children's cartoon). It's unclear why they even give him such a background. And is it even canon?

What now: everything is still in the concept stage, but here's the new context: Tristepin is Iop's creation. Why, how, and for what purpose is unknown, possibly god made him while he was drunk (that bearded shit shouldn't even LOOK at alcohol);

Why do Eva and Tristepin decide to start a family if they don't love each other?

Actually, they do love each other, but not romantically. These two share a strong bond, tested through their many adventures. By the time archer-lady becomes pregnant, they trust each other completely and form a powerful tandem.

The pregnancy was accidental, yes, but these two share same motivation: a sense of belonging. Eva was traumatized by the death of her mother and the departure of her father, but neither her adoptive parents nor the Sadida royal family could fulfill her need. As for Tristepin, he feels abandoned and without a place in the world.

Results: two best friends (that's how I imagine them in this AU) unite as a family to achieve a common goal that is of great significance to both. Parenting is pretty hard for them, but they're trying their best;

Family life:

• Tristepin and Eva aren't married or dating, and they raise their children under the same roof;

• Eva spends most of her time at work and provides for the family, but Amalia tries to give her more opportunities to spend time with her family (which the archer-lady readily takes advantage of);

• Tristepin takes care of the house and Elely and Flopin, and is also a member of the parent community in his neighborhood! This allows the twins to interact with other kids, and the young father receives help and support from the parents from in his group. The locals may find him a little strange, but they love him (who else could tire a crowd of little brats in forty-five minutes of active play?);

I still remember in season 2 when Yugo felt for the first time a real sadness (yes, maybe the trauma started when Alibert/his father figure was transformed into a bush in season 1 but), when Quilby defeated Adamai and Yugo could feel his pain while he was possessed.

He was devastated.

And not only that, when he met Phaerys for the first time and saw him suffering all that pain when he was attacked by that posh prince's navy.

I think it's so wrong to think of Yugo as if he was really the villain of the story. (Wtf) I mean, of course the decisions he has made throughout the entire plot as a hero have negative perspectives for other sides and he is not the cheerful kid we met in the first and (and first part of) second season that maybe cried like a baby when Ruel faked his death.

But that's fantastic, because we could see him grow as a king and as himself. And we still can.

But as much as we can see in the season 4 by far, Yugo carries a great burden within. He is so empathic with everybody along the journey, he has compassion all the time. Even knowing he had a duty, Yugo always took into consideration the problems of the inhabitants of the world of 12.

Since he confronted Nox in season 1, he still feels guilty for his death deep in his heart in season 3/4, even if that wasn't really his fault at all. (In season 3, when Oropo played with his mind to keep him away from the battle, it was pretty obvious Yugo still fears all the pain he inflicted to his last enemies.)

He has traveled a path of trauma with his origins and betrayal since that moment at the hands of his older brother (Quilby). And he still remembers that as a defeat for himself, only because he is unable to kill him, but his brother is so dangerous that he cannot let him out either, he is chaotic.

Yugo really cared for his family and really cared for the people who suffered along the story, even the villains. Finally, Adamai comes to his senses and apologizes to his brother in season 4, he understands that Yugo had to do what he did to save everyone in season 3, not just Tristepin.

Oropo keep resenting Yugo's kind decision to save his best friend and the entire world btw in the process. (But he never did anything to stop him or the chaos of Ogrest...) Even knowing that and feeling the same as his creator in the end, he could not comprehend it through all that unfortunate life. He has dedicated himself to hate him and treat him as if Yugo had truly done everything he did on purpose. Instead of searching for him and looking for his help. I don't think of course it was as simple as that, because his suffering will have been very complicated. (all the eliotrops) and that's another analysis.

But again, putting all that on Yugo's shoulders and calling him a villain is absurd. I think season 4 is going to try to elaborate on this matter much better from here.

Yugo has been pushed to the limit dozens of times, and he has never complained. And god, he has helped to save the world like what, 3 times.... Give him a break. Even when there was peace he had to look and worry for Adamai in the oavs....

Yugo had to confront this statement in episode 1 of season 4: you were the one who take that decision, and you have to face the consequences. (And Oropo again having daddy issues.) And I really love that, to have an imperfect hero who can develop a more complex perspectives.
