Damn Tumblr rubbing off on me with its constant discussion of Watership Down shipping so fuck it here are my favorite WSD polycules

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Watership Down - Richard Adams Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Bigwig/Hazel/Hyzenthlay (Watership Down) Characters: Hyzenthlay (Watership Down), Hazel (Watership Down), Bigwig (Watership Down) Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Fluff, Winter, Cuddling & Snuggling, Huddling For Warmth, Sharing Body Heat, Established Relationship, Polyamory, One Shot, t for a brief reference to mating, and brief implications of canon miscarriage and noncon elements Summary:

Oh? 👀👀👀

Ooo designs is kinda tough because each character is different in each adaptation, but here goes:

Film Hyzenthlay. She's gorgeous! I love her color scheme and eyeliner!

2. Graphic novel Woundwort. This design is absolutely perfect for him, and book-accurate too!

3. Graphic novel Blackberry. Not much to say, he looks great.

4. Tie between graphic novel Pipkin and Fiver. Adorable!

5. 1999 Campion. We knew he'd be here. Love that guy.

Basically what we've learned from this is that I LOVE the graphic novel designs. (I actually have every character design ranked by adaptation per character so u can ask about those too asdfghjkl)

SHIPS

Hazel/Bigwig/Hyzenthlay (book)

MY BELOVEDS!! THE rabbit ship forever. Ideal combination of my fav book ships Hazel/Bigwig and Bigwig/Hyzenthlay, and then Hazel/Hyzenthlay is heavily implied in canon, so it works out great. They just trust and respect each other so much!! They're perfect!

2. Campion/Woundwort (1999)

They are the WORST and they NEED to get over each other, but in the meantime whatever they have going on is so fun to chew on. What is wrong with them!!!

3. Primrose/Campion/Hazel (1999)

The endgame ship we deserved... They had so much more chemistry than campberry imo. Campion and Primrose having a weird thing in Efrafa where he protects her but never tries to initiate anything and she sorta trusts him...Hazel and Campion's crazy tension in "Friend and Enemy"...honestly I'm kinda neutral on Hazel/Primrose (it was pretty rushed smh) but Campion brings it together nicely asdfghjkl.

I mean, just look at them! They rabbit proposed in this scene fr

4. Hyzenthlay/Nettle (2018)

I just had to invent some doomed rabbit yuri! What's a fandom without any doomed yuri? I'm just a huge fan of angst lmao

5. Campion/Vervain (1999)

It started as a joke but it isn't anymore... What if we were the only ones who could really see each other. What if we couldn't let one another down because there's been so much betrayal already. "I know your heart." What if we were nemeses who were really weird about it. I have to work on Crossroads.

Honorable mentions to Spartina/Blackberry 1999, Holly/Bluebell bookverse, and Hyzenthlay/Thethuthinnang bookverse.

YIPPEE

Hazel x Bigwig x Hyzenthlay

I LOVE them!!! Book or film, these three are EVERYTHING! They trust and respect each other so much!! Do people still say ot3? Bc that's the vibes.

Silver x Violet

They're both such minor characters in the film it never occurred to me (ik that's kinda hypocritical of me to say lol) but why not! (I only said doomed bc poor Violet dies immediately 😭)

Hazel x Campion x Primrose

YAYY THESE GUYS! Tbh my preferred endgame campion ship (campwort is doomed and that's half the appeal, campberry is mid, and campion/vervain is more au material than anything)

Fiver x Silverweed

they are so real to me

Bluebell x Blackberry
