LAURIZA~~

Rarepair ship #1 on my board. John looks ADORABLE I LOVE HOW I DREW HIS FACE he looks so worried for lil cinnamon roll (Eliza duh). I feel so alone with this ship?? ;-;

Story of how I shipped them:

Me: Philip is adorable, look at those curls!-- which kinda look like Laurens' curls... he looks exactly like Laurens... wait a sec... wait no. Lol no tf

Brain: Are you thinking what I'm thinki--

Me: no

I lied. I accepted the possibility of Laurens being (musically) Philip's father, because they looker exactly the same. And then I came up with these crazy theories of how would it end up like that. That was when Eliza came through the mix and the moment of when I started to ship the two came in. I had this theory that Hamilton somehow had the events of Act II come earlier when he was younger?? So Say No To This came up earlier than the original. Eliza was heartbroken, way more than what she felt in Act II. Because Alexander just promised her that he would be loyal. To have him just break that promise almost two years later. Then, Laurens came to the Hamilton manor probably for Ham's sake, and that's when he saw pale, broken-down Eliza. That's where the story of those two starts.

Maybe I'll write a fanfic for my own entertainment, maybe not because Hamilton fans... would either (I think) prefer Hamliza or Lams instead. And a lot of people in the Hamilfan that I see, when Laurens gets shipped with a woman, calls out the person who ships the two, saying that Laurens shouldn't be shipped with a woman because he's gay. Now I don't want those types of comments on my fic if I would make and post it, because I don't like it when somebody tells me to not ship something that I already did. So eh... no. I wouldn't have the motivation anyway.

But that theory's still mine tho. Good thing I have a shitty cover to conceal it.

So that I could relax my tired shipping mind, I watched Ziksua's Who Live Who Dies Who Tells Your Story animatic. That one part when Laurens showed up on the part where Eliza called out against slavery and told her she was amazing (which she didn't notice because he was a ghost), really surprised me because... was the person who made this animatic a shipper?? Something that was so rare to find when shipping a rarepair?? Or maybe they just wanted to make Laurens acknowledge Eliza? Then it came to the part when Laurens walked with Eliza, and then finally told her face to face that she was an amazing woman... and held her hand wITH THIS LOOK IN HIS EYES THAT TOLD S O M E T H I N G, and then Eliza. She looked surprised and shy but before that, she asked Laurens if what she did was enough. Kind of sad.. kind of blushing, kind of shy...? But mostly appreciation.

That was when I suspected that the animator was maybe?? a shipper. And when I saw another youtube video a few days later it was confirmed, Ziksua's comment was pinned at the top and said how she was shocked because something in the video about Laurens doing something I think?? made her giggle (I think) because she shipped Lauriza. i hAD A FELLOW SHIPPER. Buut the comment was made 7 months  ago and idk if she still does?? But I hope she still does. Cuz I'll be left alone.. rambling my ideas to no one in particualr....

I think I need to change Eliza's face because it just looks...weird. And also with Laurens' legs. What is up with those??
