I saw Airy do this (and several others), so I wanted to try it out for the fake love/friendship between Hillary Chassuer and Glissade Peine-d'Amour (their breakup is written in this fanfic)
The De-spell-opment[]
Week 1[]
- Despellopment question 1: How do the members of the ship feel about the other(s)?
Hillary to Glissade
Hillary has always liked Glissade. It's incredible how preserved she is to fulfilling her passion of dancing and completing destiny. She's completely awed. She cares a lot for her friend because of all the terrible thing she had to go through alone. Hillary always assures her friend that she won't have to be alone.
Glissade to Hillary
The thing that drew her to Hillary was her protectiveness. Hillary made her feel safe and comfortable. She erased her worries easily. Just a little smile and hug, and occasionally a pep talk. Glissade would spend her days crying on her friend's lap, talking about how horrible life is. But no matter what, Glissade loves Hillary to death.
- Despellopment question 2: What are some commonalities between the ship? What are things that they would do together which they both enjoy?
Dancing
Hillary doesn't enjoy dancing as much as her friend does, but Glissade was adamant about teaching her how to do ballet. She always states that if the next Hilarion is going to dance to his death with the Wilis, then Hillary must know how to dance.
Watching Movies
Their preference are horror movies. It's funny, really. Glissade always says she's okay with watching horror movies, but screams so very loudly at the jumpscares.

Week 2[]
- Despellopment question 3: Tell us about a âfirstâ between the characters. A first meeting, a first date, first time meeting the parents, etc.
First Meeting - Friendship at First Sight
A little description of their friendship is explained by Hillary herself here.
It's no surprise Hillary and Glissade would become friends. Their predecessors were in love with each other briefly. Their first meeting was at their dorm, since they were assigned as roommates for each other. It was awkward. When Hillary entered the dorm, Glissade was dancing and singing while sweeping her half of the room.
First Date - Date Night Disaster
Their first date was on Date Night. It went horribly wrong. Glissade arrived at the Red Shoes Dance Studio for the date early, while Hillary's watch wasn't working, so she was late, and arrived just a little while before curfew. She wasn't allowed in the studio at night, since Hillary didn't have an exclusive pass nor had a role that dances. When she finally entered, Glissade went back to check on her, only to realize Hillary was at the studio. They met again on their way to the place the other was. Their date was a total disaster, but they had fun!
- Despellopment question 4: Tell us about a âdreamâ between the characters. A dream date, a dream trip, etc.
Dream... Destiny
The only thing they'd dream about is a destiny where they'd end up with each other and wouldn't have to die, even long after their break-up.

Week 3[]
- Despellopment question 5: Is the relationship between the characters impacted by destiny at all?
It's obvious that the next Giselle would befriend the next Hilarion. So, yes. All the things that happened between them was caused by destiny, both the good and bad things.
- Despellopment question 6: Is there or do your characters perceive there to be an âendâ to the ship?
Their romantic relationship was ended because of destiny. They just weren't meant to be. However, that doesn't mean their friendship ended. Their bond actually became stronger after the breakup.

Week 4[]
- Despellopment question 7: What is a source of tension between the ship?
There are only two things in existence that could create tension between them - destiny and Basil Physice. Hillary is always cautious around Basil and overprotective of Glissade whenever he's around. Sometimes Glissade gets annoyed and upset and lashes out on her. Their relationship suddenly changes whenever Basil is 'round.
- Despellopment question 8: How has the ship made its members grow as people?
Hillary
After the breakup, Hillary learnt how important it is to be honest. Glissade would've been less upset if she was honest from the start. She grew to realize that, as a person, she lacks honesty and transparency. She shouldn't sugarcoat things and describe the situation as it is, but should learn how to filter things correctly.
Glissade
Her time spent with Hillary (especially the breakup) taught her that sadness is a part of joy. No matter how down she is, peace will always come... someday. She became emotionally stronger, resisting lies much more than she used to.
