SO RELATABLE. ME RIGHT F NOW

Currently reading In Memoriam by Alice Winn

Turns out this is not curing the pain that was Fellow Travelers.

Bad idea.

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

In Memoriam Headcanons!!

cus i’m still insane about them and want nothing but happiness for our boys

~spoilers for the book ahead-

• In Brazil, Gaunt and Ellwood almost always wear coordinating ties and handkerchiefs (either wearing the same pattern in different colours, or vice versa, or by swapping so that one has the kerchief to go with the others tie)

• Gaunt tried to write a poem about Ellwood once. He got four lines in and got embarrassed with himself and went to box instead. he left the page in her desk drawer and never found it again.

• Contrary to popular belief, Gaunt is a riot at embassy events in Brazil (when he actually joins in conversation). He just makes blunt, usually unwittingly witty comments that make the tipsy embassy blokes roar with laughter (that tism humour fr).

• Ellwood loves to host. in the beginning, it’s to fill the void of living in brazil and the aftermath of the war, but he finds that he really enjoys it. utter peacock.

• Ellwood loves the flowers in Brazil, but he can’t often find some of ones that align with the victorian flower language. So, he invents a new flower language just for him and Gaunt.

• Ellwood, ever spiteful, used to step on the toes of young women who flirted with Gaunt at balls when it was his turn to dance with them. Despite how much it pained him to risk damaging his reputation as an excellent dancer.

• They used to have snowball fights at Thornycrpft when they spent Christmas hols there together.

• Gaunt rarely speaks german, but when he’s particularly drunk, he starts whispering german terms of endearment into Ellwood’s ear. Ellwood doesn’t have a clue what he’s saying but he’s not complaining.

• Having baths together (partly as an inside joke, partly cus <3 )

• I’m sure they would have a pet, but can decide on what animal. i can picture ellwood getting an exotic bird for parlour tricks when he’s hosting, giving it an eccentric name (like Benedict or Florian) but actually getting super attached. Or, Gaunt having a realy pampered cat (probably a white long haired breed). ORRR Gaunt finds a dog that reminds him of his old dog at home and has a ‘can we keep him’ moment

• Gaunt publishes his translations. perhaps he makes them more accessible for people who aren’t getting that upper class public school education, with english translation accompanying the original greek (inspired by his friendship with Hayes). Maybe Hayes reads them and resolves that they’re just ‘decent’

• If they return to england, Ellwood brings his hosting reputation with him, and holds a party upon his return to england and before their departure back to brazil or wherever their travels take them every time. unwittingly attracts a LOT of upper-class queers.

• they get (fake) married one day. they get matching wedding bands in whatever metal matches the other’s undertones (cus this is the type of thing at least one of them knows). they get to cal each other ‘husband’ in the comfort of their own home.

I love Henry Gaunt.

Ellwood and Burgyone at Preschute

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

something about Roseveare writing to ellwood saying, ‘I liked Gaunt. I know it’s not the first word, most people associate with him, but he was kind.’ paired with Lüneberg telling Gaunt, ‘When I first saw you, I thought you looked kind.’ ….. yeah

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

One of my absolute favourite books I've ever read

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

they are forever choosing each other 🥹

Hello in memoriam fandom I come bearing memes

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

Listening to Hoziers Francesca and thinking about how it did not matter to Gaunt whether Elly loved him back.

How Gaunt fought tooth and nail to get back to Ellwood. How despite his fear, the thought of his Sidney believing him dead was enough for him to fight it.

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

the ‘affectionately’ to ‘with affection’ to ‘your friend’ to ‘yours’ development knocked me to the ground and left me for dead actually

[ifeelsogoodwhenyouhugmesotight]

THIS ONE’S FOR YOU ELLWOOD!! 🔥🔥🔥 I KNOW YOU’RE A KEATS FAN!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
