-> my dumbass forgot it was Grimβs birthday today so I immediately had to rustle up a moodboard, and of course it had to be Batticus themed! @carewyncromwell πβ¨
Day 2 of @endlessly-cursedβs ππππππππ ππππππ ππππππππππππ ππππ! β favourite ships
-> I just want to say that I could write about every single one of my ships- both platonic and romantic- and maybe one day I will, but for now Iβm keeping this list relatively short. If youβre reading this and we have a ship together, know I love you very much and if I had more time you and your OCs would be in this list β€οΈ
GALEHAN β Galen Stagg x Siobhan Llewelyn @kc-and-co
This one is totally self-explanatory and had to take the first spot on this list. Never in my life have I been invested in two characters and their love story like I have with Galen and Shiv. Theyβre the ultimate friends-to-best-friends-to-lovers ship even if thereβs six years of agony before they officially get together. But I canβt tell you how much fun I had writing the βWish That You Were Hereβ letters series! Their love story is something I canβt describe, even with all my years studying English lit, because itβs so beautiful and so powerful and is something that keeps me going on a daily basis. You all know I could go on for eternity about these two, so Iβll keep it short and just say thank you to the magnificently talented Kate for persevering with Siobhanβs character and letting Galen and I be a part of her story π
TEDELIA β Teddy Ellison x Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch
My goodness. These twoβ¦ Own. My. Ass. I think they were my first proper HP ship that I actually invested my soul into. They started out as friends, but with Teddy having the biggest crush in Adelia ever since they met. Heβd write her love letters and poetry and would never dare to send them: heβs super confident in every way except when love is involved. Heβd always flirt but could never bring himself to be serious. Of course, things changed when Adelia reciprocated those feelings and Teddy had never felt more alive. He was the luckiest man in the world. But no matter what Teddy always treated his darling Delia like the queen she is and if she was happy then so was he. Iβm so lucky to have these two as a ship and I literally think about them all the time. Theyβre so precious and 2022 is going to bring more Tedelia content!
BATTICUS β Atticus Grimsley x Bartholomew Varney @carewyncromwell
Oh man where do I begin with Batticus?! They have such a complex relationship that was never intended to turn romantic but it just sort of happened because it felt right, you know? But having kind, Christmas-loving, beautiful Bat have a positive influence in stoic, meticulous Grim was the best thing to happen to his character. I have had hours of joy role playing with these two and would love to do more of it in the future; it was amazing in exploring these two and how their relationship develops over time. And donβt get me started on the Reincarnation AU because OMG ITβS WHAT THEY DESERVE. I was also super grateful to have been able to draw Bat for the 2021 Secret Santa, which made me think about Bat and Grim spending the holidays together β€οΈ
EMERICK β Emerson Page x Frederick Lavigne @slytherindisaster
One of my absolute favourite friendships is between these two idiots. Slytherin x Ravenclaw friendships are one of the best and thereβs a lot of ambition, creativity, and chaos shared between Emerson and Frederick. They like to have debates, make jokes, play the occasional prank on an unsuspecting student (or professor), and can talk about anything and everything for hours on end. They could spend years apart and it would feel as if theyβd not seen each other for only a day. Every time I think about Emerick (yep, I gave them a ship name) I think of this drawing I did a while ago and tbh I think it sums their friendship up so well. Oh, and I also envision them to have this height difference that means Emerson is the little gremlin of rage that gentle giant Frederick has to hold back before he kills someone lmao.
ELIRIAM β Eli Cairncross x Miriam Cairncross
Iβm sorry for spamming Eliriam content recently but these two are my new obsession. Theyβre a classic case of βgrumpy man is only a soft mushy mess for that one other person who is literally a ray of sunshine but could also kick your assβ. I love Eliriam because they grow as people together: Eli being the slightly older one with more academic experience than world/life experience teaches Miriam to finally be a part of the trade that her father and brother kept her at arms length from, whilst Miriam teaches Eli all about patience and love and gets him to realise thereβs more to life than his work. They complement one another in so many ways, theyβre the most well-dressed couple at every party they attended, and they also have the love and strength to raise a little boy who isnβt even their own. The more I think about Eliriam the more I love them and canβt wait to finish writing the drabbles Iβve started π₯Ί
TAKIRA β Akira Crane x Talia Crane @whatwouldvalerydo
THESE TWO ARE ENDGAME OKAY. They started out as crackship but Valβs incredible series βLate Night Cursesβ just skyrocketed my love for them. Everything thatβs been written in that series just cemented them in my heart forever. Theyβre two powerful, hot, complex, badass individuals, but together?? Theyβre unstoppable. These two immortals were absolutely destined to cross paths and the slowburn that is their story is so agonising yet there is no other way Iβd rather have it. If you havenβt already read LNC I HIGHLY suggest you do because your mind will be blown and youβll have no choice but to skip these two. Iβm so grateful to you, Val, for writing that series; youβve put so much dedication into it and Iβm still astonished at it even months later. And like Iβve said before, Akira is as much yours as he is mine β€οΈ
MIRANTHONY β Mira Iverach x Anthony Hawthorne @gaygryffindorgal
-> @carewyncromwell your reincarnation!au piece got me in the Batticus mood and I had to make an aesthetic because itβs been a while! Now Iβm thinking about them a lot afsgdhjfkd hope you like it! <3
-> Featuring Rich Kid Atticus Grimsley whose father hires Bartholomew Varney to be his bodyguard. Both of them keep thinking that this relationship has to be strictly professional, but feelings are hard to ignore...
