What’s not to like about a good fantasy romance? There are life-or-death stakes, heightened emotions, and–above all–MAGIC. In part 1 of this 2-part recommendation roundup, Jennifer and Heather discuss 5 of their all-time favorite fantasy ships, with 5 more to follow in the next episode. Come for legendary couples like Aragorn and Arwen from the Lord of the Rings films and stay for new faves like Kaz and Inej from Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow & Bone universe, Lan and Nynaeve from the Wheel of Time TV show, and Jude and Cardan from the Cruel Prince book trilogy.Couples, gifs & parody accounts discussed in the episode (by timestamp):09:20 - Ship #1: Lan/Nynaeve from The Wheel of Time TV series21:00 - Ship #2: Jude/Cardan from Holly Black’s The Cruel Prince book series31:00 - Twitter follow recommendation: The Incorrect Cruel Prince account, @IncorrectCruelP33:30 - Ship #3: Sophie/Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle (book & movie)42:00 - Ship #4 - Kaz/Inej from Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow & Bone universe (books & show)50:00 - Couple #5 - Aragorn/Arwen from the Lord of the Rings movies56:20 - Aragorn gets the Girl: Aragorn and Arwen Reunion scene gifset via Morales-Stacey on Tumblr
