Explaining myself for why I choose ruddiger to be a snake rather than a raccoon in my headcanons (even though no one asked!)

(FYI one of my headcanons is that varian was born a girl and is pretending to be a boy kinda like mulan??? If you know what I mean???)

Raccoons were brought to Europe in the 20th century Tangled is set before the 20th century.

There is a symbol called Ouroboros that is a snake eating its tail, the symbol has ties into alchemy and represents death, rebirth and journey (if I’m not mistaken.)

I was also inspired by Eve from the bible as she is the mother of all living however I wanted to make it so Varians creations saw her as the mother of all.

The Ouroboros symbol goes hard.

…yeah that’s all that I can remember I made the original post late at night for me so I forgot to write down all my reasons ☹️

(Edit: it’s now also inspired by Medusa cuz I thought “lol how cool would it be if she was able to turn people to stone like Medusa? That’d be cool af.”

I love headcanoning characters into oblivion cuz what do you mean a nerdy alchemist boy with a blue hair stripe is now a a girl pretending to be a boy got sent to a insane asylum after her villain arc is weirdly in tune with snakes and has become a travelling apothecary??????

(Ruddiger is now a snake cuz it always bothered me that he was a raccoon when tts is set BEFORE the 20th century in EUROPE ((raccoons only came to Europe in the 20th century.))

…….im sorry 😭
