Ba2mia Spoilers
I’m so mad that I’m doing math during my summer break for something so fucking heartbreaking but here we are.
Ever since Murph established that Beverly’s Oath of the Ancients “Undying Sentinel” thing, where he would no longer suffer the effects of old age, meant that Bev was theoretically immortal, I’ve had this terribly depressing thought.
We’ve been reminded on several occasions, since Moonshine’s talk with Jolene in c1 and Hardwon returning to the material plane in c3, that both Bev and Moonshine were going to outlive him. Moonshine’s first time bringing it up, about not wanting to know a world without Hardwon Surefoot, sprouted a lot of Hardshine angst fanworks… but one thing I haven’t seen people mention is, what about Erlin? Halflings generally only live to 150-ish. We can hope that Erlin joined them in going to the Astral Plane, but when was that?
Hardwon was 26 in c1, reportedly 226 now but having physically aged to about 80-90 since the passage of time is wonky in the Astral Plane and they don’t really age there. For the sake of this, I’ll be saying he’s closer to 80. We know he’s spent about 3 years back on the mortal plane. This leaves about 51 years unaccounted for, where they were all still likely on the Material plane. So that makes Erlin, what? 67? Almost half way through his life?
Erlin and Beverly have always been outgoing, and they wanted to have their own adventures, that’s what they set off to do at the end of c1 to fill the journal together. It seems unlikely they’d stay within the astral plane forever. It seems almost cruel to. Erlin’s bound to grow old, and Beverly will have to watch another person he loves die and be unable to do anything.
I suppose the “easy” answer to that is that it was young love that wasn’t meant to last. A love that survived the apocalypse, sure, but love seems so much easier in comparison to the end of the world. Ive seen the fallouts y’all write on ao3, it’s heartbreaking- but is that better than the alternative? Worse than trying? Is there a good outcome???
Anyway it’s 5am and I haven’t slept, so yes I am crying about “Beverlin Foreverlin” not being forever. Sue me.

Beverly and Erlin
What made you ship it?
beverlin foreverlin! i mean just... them. childhood friends to lovers is so compelling. their romance is so sweet. "he's my pelor"
What are your favorite things about this ship?
them being teens together. like. idk. i think bev had to grow up too fast because of the whole, y'know, world on his shoulders. and i think he gets a bit of that back in being with erlin.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
i love the way they handled bev kissing terran. is this unpopular? anyway. i think it was a really great character move from caldwell. and i love that erlin didn't immediately forgive him.
send me a ship

Not a day goes by where I don’t think about them. They consume my brain (and my ao3 drafts)
I got a drawing tablet recently so I’m still learning how to draw digitally, have mercy

First post of the year, a moment of peace before heartbreak... (and maybe eternal heartbreak after that last episode Murph I am coming for you)
But really, here’s to the new year! And also to the fact that I finally got Bev and Erlin from Best Friends to Sweethearts on Tomodachi Life! XD
Thank you all for making last year great, and here’s to an even better decade!
And to the next episode- which I am already not ready for
