My Beauty and the Beast Ships blog
Hello, world! I thought I'd start a blog to channel my everlasting love for the Beauty and the Beast trope and many ships that fall into it.
The Beast doesn't have to be a monster physically, but has questionable morals (or is an outright villain), while the Beauty is emotionally superior and stands her ground firmly, determined to be kind and good. As I see my ships, her determination prevents the Beast from ruthlessly hurting her, for it resonates with a tiny and long-forgotten good part of him. He may bare his teeth, protract his claws, but never irreparably hurt her. This is why the term "abusive ship" is not appropriate for the way I see those relationships. I'd like to point out that any ship in itself is neutral, it all depends on how you, as a ficwriter or artist, portray the characters.
Here's the list of some of my favourite B&B ships. Note that any characters underage in their canons are not used in adult context until they're 18.
Disney: Belle and her Beast, naturally Facilottie (Charlotte la Boeuff and Dr Facilier) The Princess and the Frog Cedfia (adult!Sofia and Cedric the Sorcerer) Sofia the First Belle x any Beast character (crossovers)
Harry Potter: Hermione x any villain, basically, including: Tomione (Hermione x Tom Riddle) Voldimione (Hermione x Voldemort) Scabmione or Scamione (Hermione x Scabior)
Movies/Books: Darling Hook [adult!Wendy Darling and Captain Hook] Peter Pan Violaf [adult!Violet and Count Olaf] The Series of Unfortunate Events Sarah x Jareth (Labyrinth) Willores (Dolores x William) Westworld (who’s the Beauty here I have no idea!:)) Hayniss, or is it Haymiss? (Katniss x Haymitch) Hunger Games films (haven’t read the books) Constarlight (Barbie and Constantine) Barbie Star Light Adventure (it definitely has the vibe!)
