Lily’s Non-Oxymorons Murdle Ships!
Done solely for fun, and because I know some people have ships outside our beloved detectives. None of these are particularly ride-or-die with the exception of maybe the first; they’re based solely on vibes and what I think is fun :P
Executive Eggplant x Executive Assistant Olive (Murdle Jr. sold me on a lot of characters, and these two are among them. Considering what they do and say in that book, I get the feeling neither of them particularly like their jobs or their boss. So I figured they’d bond over that. And then I started shipping them over that. I have incredibly lazy fanart and everything XD)
Agent Fuchsia x Mrs. Ruby (I kind of feel like they’d have a whole cat-and-mouse-esque “law officer and master criminal” kind of thing. Like, chase sequences with copious amounts of tension. You see the vision?)
Comrade Champagne x Cosmonaut Bluski (“Is this just because they’re both communists?” Well, not ENTIRELY. It’s mostly because they appear in a case together in Book 2 [for similar reasons, I HC Umber and Flint as best friends] and also this art by Nines, which a) is hilarious and b) implies a very fun dynamic. And really, most of my ships are built around very fun dynamics :P)
Chessboxer Blaze x Editor Ivory (This one is SUPER random, so I’ll explain: remember a while back, I mentioned HCing that Irratino, Night, and Umber roomed together back in college? Well, if Case 3 is to be believed, there should be five people per room. So I grabbed Blaze and Ivory to fill out the remaining two spots. Then I got to bouncing them around in my head, decided I liked the way they vibed with each other, and, well, now we have this. My brain works in mysterious ways :P)
Reader Amethyst x The Black Hat (My only excuse here is “it’s funny”. I mean, hey, if they survived Volume 3, they’re probably stuck on that mountain based on their last known locations, so. They can keep each other company :V)
??? x ??? (*GASP* A mystery ship :0 This one, specifically, is what’s referred to as a Dry-Docked Ship; they aren’t together, but I HC they used to be. As for who they are, well…let me keep a few secrets 😉)
BONUS ROUND: One-sided shipping, or “starboarding”—Seashell’s eternally unrequited crush on Irratino. I don’t know where I got the idea. It just came to me one day and I decided I vibed with it :P
