What first made me ship Cupid and Valentine was definitely the fact that they were polar opposites, which is quite a trend among most of the canon MH couples (the matchmaker and the break-upper). Aside from that, their names both have to do with Valentine’s Day (or as I once said in a very corny way, “because normally we see a Cupid on Valentine’s Day"), their color schemes, and even their powers.
Aside from names and appearances, I also created a scenario where Cupid would teach Valentine what love truly means and reach out to him. Copying and pasting from an essay I wrote a while ago,
“If Valentine does, though, accept her advice, change for the better and
see that power isn’t everything, I can see something slowly blossom
between the two, whether it at least be a friendship or what have you.
While Cupid is the “goddess of love”, she herself even said she is very
inexperienced with being in love or a relationship herself. Then you
have Valentine, who while from what we see as being in short
relationships, he still has quite the experience when it comes to
dating. While many guys are often shy when asking Cupid out, or afraid
because of who her family is, I see Valentine of that possible one who
will take the stand if feelings do develop (being as he has done so many
of times), but possibly wanting to be serious if her advice and
willingness does pull through. Valentine, also being the more
experienced one when it comes to relationships, could help Cupid with advice on her radio show,
possibly giving the guys advice or teaching people what NOT to do in a
relationship, just as Cupid taught him.”
As of now, with the recent release of Valentine’s diary and his story in the Monster High graphic novel I Only Have Eye For You, I further because interested in this ship because Valentine is now to Monster High what Cupid is to Ever After High; one who helps others find love. Ironically, white both help others find love, they themselves wish to find love themselves. As they were once complete opposites, now they are very much alike.
As far as Valentine attending Ever After High and his appearance, I’m not sure if he would remain a vampire or not. What I do know is that he would most likely be a Rebel because he no longer wishes to follow in his parent’s footsteps.
