Let’s Talk Ships! // @dawnswake

7. A ship someone else writes that you love.

Well firstly shout out to you and @hcllsheir because every time I see y’all do stuff, I’m like “god, evie and aeron on their sad shit again” because wow i love two disasters and you’re both v talented writers! admittedly, i haven’t followed their entire saga but i like seeing you two write them when they pop up on my dash!

and I can’t not shout out @headsxwillxroll and @islecaptain and their incredibly expansive universe! Admittedly I haven’t fully kept up with their Prophecy verse but just about every one of Kira’s muses is shipped off with one of Alana’s and it’s so fun to watch to see who they combine next and how! Romantic? Platonic? Familial? Master and Familiar? It’s always a surprise and so fun to see how they plot these things out!!

And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love seeing the N.ewsies squad all interacting. All of @sensibiliitatem ‘s ships? Golden. (Though ngl I’m partial to Charlie/Davey and Charlie/Jack. After Charlie/Hotshot, naturally~). @tomorrcwsnews and @frxncaise blessing the world with O.scar/A.nge content and their other ships in general? Perfection. People getting love from Race, Tammy and Goliath over on @asortofsensation ? My fave. I love these people so much and am so invested in their interactions with each other and other people I haven’t the pleasure of writing with yet!

And honestly tbh, if we’re mutuals, even if we don’t write frequently I probably take notice of your more frequent interactions and go like “oh it’s x and y again!” when I see y’all on my dash. I love and support you all!!

14. A ship you never considered but is now one you love.

Am I allowed to talk about crossover ships? Because uuuuuuh Bavey, duh. Elizabeth “Betty” Cooper and David “Davey” Jacobs are soulmates from completely different franchises and time periods but they were made for each other. 

It all started because I did a soulmate telepathy starter call and instead of just throwing @tatterdhearts all my A.rchie comics kids at hers, I offered to randomize a few pairs. One pair happened to be B.etty and D.avey and at the time, I wasn’t super well versed in N.ewsies. I saw the 90s movie once when I was 14 for my journalism class, I knew S.anta Fe and S.eize the D.ay and that was about it. But I remember Abi earlier posting about wanting modern stuff for D.avey so I thought it’d be fun. And the rest, as they say, is history. Betty and Davey are both just so loyal and honest and have such similar ideas on fighting injustice? And they both have this tendency to feel inferior so they exist in this cycle of constantly uplifting each other?? I could gush about Bavey all day, they’re just made for each other and every time I see Abi reply to something Bavey related, I get so excited. Move over Jack and Katherine, Bavey is the superior reporter x newsie ship.

If we’re talking a ship from the same canon though, I’ll stick with N.ewsies because uuuuuuh J.okat? Perfection. It started by just pointing out how heart eyes J.ojo and A.lbert get over K.atherine when she first shows up? And at first @tomorrcwsnews just had them as a fun little brotp, where he likes to annoy and tease her. Then it turned into “Well J.ojo obviously has a crush on her but we can play it onesided.” But like…he completely won Kat over with his antics. He’s a massive dork hiding a sad inner shell and he balances out K.atherine’s tendency to get stressed and annoyed easily and they’re just very soft and sweet and also constantly thirsty, I love them.

15. A ship you secretly love but are too shy to try and make happen.

All of them? Tbh I am s o bad at approaching people about ships, I’m always worried I come across as pushy.

Tbh, I’d love more J.ughead or R.eggie interactions for B.etty? And V.eronica honestly, I love me some J.eronica. 

And honestly I feel so bad pushing Melody on the sea3 but god give Melody a Gil to love??? She’s got her main Harry who she adores but like??? Mellie and Gil would be such a fun dynamic to explore

Also also Giselle/Ben. In any capacity, I just need those two more, I need Ben being everything Giselle never expected and everything she fears she doesn’t deserve because of who her dad is.

And this isn’t so much a specific ship but give D.iana a girlfriend connected to the Greek pantheon. Daphne’s got H.adie, Delilah’s got H.erkie, D.iana deserves a pantheon gf

 the pink princess walks up to her lunch table, manicured hands gripping her hand bag as she takes in who is already sitting there. “ i highly suggest you find somewhere else to sit before you embarrass yourself. ”

( a GOLDEN AGE starter for @dawnswake ! ) 

          it must be very difficult, she thinks, to be plucked up from one land and set down in another. to have to find ones way in unfamiliar territory, unfamiliar customs, surrounded always by so many unfamiliar faces. and though the gentle queen remains most often in cair paravel and narnian lands, she knows well what they say of narnia beyond its borders. that it is a savage, wild place, all full of danger (and each tale has its element of truth). so she comes with a little box in her hands, where calormene sweets have been arranged. something small, but something familiar. “i came to see how you have been settling in,” she says, offering the little box forward with a welcoming smile. “i know our narnia must be a strange place to grow accustomed to. is everything to your liking? is there anything you need?”

because @dawnswake wanted this a year ago

            “Is that a---” The words die on her lips, because it couldn’t more plainly be a black eye beginning to form on his face; there’s no point in asking. A hiss of sympathy slips past her lips, and she winces. “Oh, Gil.”

      Of course, the sympathy, as always with the princess, is followed by anger. “You said you were going to come right from home---who did that?”

      “    ------    what’s  the  matter   ?    ”     though  he  acts  oblivious,   a  smug  tone  creeps  into  his  question.  brows  arch  quizzically,   pointed   gaze  boring  into  her,   all  but  daring  sunny  to  bring  up  the  little  scene  he’d  orchestrated  at  lunch   ;   he  knows  that  she  is  likely  to  dismiss  the  significance  of  a  seat,   but  chad  had  seen  the  helplessness  in  her  eyes.     “     looks  like  something’s  bothering  you.     ”

        generally speaking, he wanted to roll his eyes at the universe. none of them had exactly had it easy the first time around, and now they had to do it all again? and now, icing on the cake, he was not only OLDER than the reincarnation of his own father, but he seemed to remember before the others. and there was a pull, a tug toward the kindred spirits of his past. he’d followed, and he’d watched for a while, trying to figure out who everyone was. that had taken some time, and he still just had a notebook filled with crisscrossing lines that he’d scribbled out and redrawn five times. so it was time to get a closer look, which, being a college student approaching high school, was going to be as awkward as it sounded.

        her name was elaine. being that elaine was a wildly popular name at the time, though, he didn’t know which elaine. corbenic, astolat, garlot, benoic. there were too many to nail just one down. as long as she wasn’t elaine of corbenic, his one time mother, though, he’d be fine. ‘ excuse me. i just moved to town. do you know where i can get a decent cup of coffee? ‘ lamest. excuse. ever.
