this man has to be one of the best shows of devotion ive seen

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.

#oh to be loved like henry gaunt loves #henry gaunt #sidney ellwood #in memoriam #gauntwood

I listen to this way too much

whenever a song plays I already know which ones coming up next

MANNNN it's so good guys listen to it

Since a lot of you follow me for my In Memoriam art, I thought I’d share the Gauntwood playlist I’ve been working on too!

It’s chronological, with songs from the beginning to the end of the book in order!

Clearly I’m still not over it <3

in my head, in brazil, they own a cat named marie. marie loves henry. marie despises sidney. the compromise? they keep marie.

ps!! thank u to my dear friends @loafwins for supporting the initial headcanon, and @jovienna for supplying the meme content 🙏 my actual darlings and saints of IM thank u very much <3

#alice winn #in memoriam #sidney ellwood #henry gaunt #gauntwood #so now my standing headcanons include: elly's beauty marks AND marie.
