I'm the LAST person to suggest that you have to preface every single comment you make about a character/fictional relationship/etc. you like with a reminder that you Know™ it's pRoBLeMaTiC, but I DO question what the point of acting genuinely for real like there were no problems is.
#I don't even mean in a 'what would it look like if this relationship were healthy' or 'what if this character were a good person'#because I think that's interesting to explore and I have several things I'm working on with elements of that#but I genuinely will hear people go 'there ARE no flaws in this thing' with their whole chest in a completely serious manner#when they could just. talk about how they like the thing without that qualification? and I feel like...#...idk. just because *I* am someone who enjoys horrible characters and deranged unhealthy fictional relationships#I feel like it's a disservice to act like there were never any faults or problems or [insert applicable noun here] at all? it gets rid of#the narrative complexity that's present#I was talking to long-distance best friend last night and I went on a rant about how I wouldn't like jaime as much if he actually WAS as#Super For Real Actually A Completely Good Person Who Was Never Flawed In Any Way as some people act like he is.#it's BECAUSE he does shitty things and isn't A Super Good Person™ that makes him particularly interesting#if you want to imagine a version of this story where he doesn't act horribly and is a 100% Stand Up Guy then go for it you don't need to#justify that by saying that that is completely for real without exception who he actually is in canon?#(this wasn't even the example that brought this on. he's one of many MANY examples.)#and you know I could write a story (I won't) where like. idk altena for example. handles her issues and doesn't become The Antagonist™#where she gets therapy and ends up with a fulfilling life where she participates in society as a more well-adjusted person.#but again it would be an INCREDIBLE disservice to the way this character (a complicated fascinating character) is written to act like#she was Always Like That or that this turn of events was intended by the story or that She Genuinely Never Did Anything Wrong Actually#it's less 'oh people are having sympathy for [xyz] in a story context that I think isn't merited' & it's more 'acting like this is the way#the story was all along and the way it was meant to be interpreted all along is a misreading of the text and I don't think that's fair'#mel's media criticism

GIVE HIM THE CHAIR
There was a raging buzz of excitement in the air, and even if the guy shouting over the crowd was obnoxious as hell, Linus was taking it all in like it was something he needed to live.
While violence for violence's sake wasn't something that his father had instilled in him, Linus had always enjoyed throwing his weight around and testing the strength of those around him. It was never with the intent to kill or seriously harm -- though that definitely happened, Linus could get caught up in the pulse of a fight way too easily to avoid hurting someone. It was all about seeing how he measured up, where he could get stronger, better.
And an underground fighting ring? That just slapped of his kind of place. No rules, no one to step in and break it up. You either won or you lost. A true test of who was stronger.
Linus grinned, the tip of his tongue playing at a sharp canine as he let himself get caught up in the noise and the energy, and fuck yeah it was time for a fucking fight!
He really didn't know what that guy was yapping on about, but with a blast of flashy magic, it seemed like shit was finally about to get started!
"'Bout fuckin' time! Thought you were gonna keep blowin' hot air forever!" Linus whooped with excitement, waving a dismissive hand at Owain as he leaps into the space cleared out for the fight. Oh yeah, this was absolutely his kind of place. "I don't know 'bout you folks, but I came here for a damn good fight! Who's feelin' brave enough to face the Mad Dog, huh?! If ya can't handle a li'l blood, don't even bother steppin' in here with me!"

Ingrid is a gay ass homosexual
Okay so, let’s talk about it.
Ingrid is probably a closested queer woman. Do I know exactly what she is? No lol. But, what I do know is she definitely isn’t straight.
Let’s look at her background to begin with.
After Glenn died being a silly knight, Ingrid’s entire life was dictated by marrying a man. Her family would die out if she didn’t marry a man. Her crest mandated she married a man. Her people would suffer unless she married a man. Her father literally gave her extra food to fatten her up compared to her siblings, all so she could marry a man.
You see the issue?
Now let’s pivot to Mercedes. I could bring up the Dorothea paralogue but everyone knows about that one, so that’s for latter.
Tumblr media
Mercedes, the bisexual member of the lions, says she wants to know a lot more about Ingrid. And Ingrid doesn’t turn her down. Ingrid also doesn’t necessarily turn down Dorothea in their paralogue. Read the script for instance.
Tumblr media
Does that look like an outright refusal of Dorothea? I don’t think so. Then we get to their actual supports. Let’s look at the Dorothea-Ingrid B support.
Tumblr media
Yikes. (Shout out to Dorothea for respecting consent however)
But look how fervently she shuts Dorothea down. How just immediate it is. Beforehand, Dorothea was kinda pestering her about beauty stuff.
It’s like other B supports pre timeskip.
A lot of B supports set up a conflict to be resolved post timeskip. There’s roots for a paired ending there. The one that comes to mind the most is Annie/Mercie (mostly cause their support chain is silly, just like the two units)
I say all this to say that she has two b supports that feel they could lead into a same sex paired ending. Also, can we talk about Pegasi knights for a moment?
There are a lot of gay Pegasi knights. Palla and Minerva are one of the most shipped pairs in Archanea. Chloe and Merrin as well for Elyos. Eda is said to have been “totally subservient” to Altena. Florina outright admits she loves Lyn at the end of Lyn Mode.
Ingrid is a Pegasus knight.
What does that make her? Probably gay lol. Like, she is in one of the most consistently gay classes. She has two supports that could be read as romantic. What more can I say?
TL;DR: Ingrid is probably a homosexual.

Having to sit down and pry apart headcanon/headmates from actual canon. Sorry Finn but I don't believe you'd be. The best. Dad out there, least emotionally. I know you are for us but like.
Look. I do think between everything. He dissociated a *lot*. When the kiddos weren't in danger, and there were no enemies around he just... I mean, heroes outright has him saying he was staring off.
Clearly wasn't likely there emotionally too much either. Least not strong emotions wise. I also don't think it helps he probably doesn't have the most experience raising a kid prior to this, much less two in this situation.
Slightly off topic but. I dunno. I think Finn's more... Estranged? Distant from Leif than Nanna, but he's still kind of distant for the latter.
Like. Look. Whether Nanna is Finn's or not (I mean. Aroace Finn in my reading but I also like finnchesis so. You know?). He definitely sees her as a daughter. And, for all Finn knows Lachesis is still alive. But Finn still has the dissociation and likely survivors guilt and. Hoo.
Like look. Finn's emotional state across the board is not *good*. He. He tries. I think. But still. There's this distance that even Nanna doesn't feel like she can cross because this is the way Father's always been.
However with Leif. Finn's definitely stuck up on that loss of his lord and lady and may have issues with not wanting to take their *place.* Much less after the fact he also thinks Altena is dead too. So accidentally causing further distance because he was a page, a knight to Quan and that is still only what he is. Even if he was close to the two, and he was I think, but. Still. That distance because of all this factors.
I do think on some level Finn sees Leif as his kid too but. Again, the distance caused, being Leif's knight and guardian before all else.
Which I do think causes some issues for Leif. I don't know Leif well enough as a character to say what but. Something something would want to call Finn father too but. Well. How do you even begin to cover that distance. Much less amid a rebellion.
Like. Does this make sense to anyone. Sorry I'm so.
Oh...

Art fight piece for @ramyeonguksu! Hillevi x Hubert
Microfiction under the cut:
They had to be around here somewhere.
Hubert’s heart skipped a beat when he saw her Wyvern fall… it was near the end of the battle, Garreg Mach was nearly theirs, and the Seiros forces were routed.  His eyes to the skies, a smile on his face when he saw the fires lighting the underside scales of Altena, Hillevi’s gleaming axe clutched in her hands. 
The battle was nearly won, and yet, a volley of arrows, loosed by their vile archers, blanketed Hillevi in quills as Altena took a dive to the ground, graceless, tumbling.
Hubert rushes through the ruins.
They had to be around here somewhere.
And then, there he saw them.
Struggling to stand, using one of her perforated wings to push herself up, was Altena, bleeding, but not down for the count.  She nudges Hillevi with her snout, trying to get the woman to move, when Hubert notices…
She wasn’t moving.  Her body lie twisted in an unnatural contortion, and the fires of grief and rage stir within his heart.  An arrow protrudes from her abdomen, her usually immaculate tabard torn and stained.
He rushes forward, skidding into a kneel, as he grasps her hand, feeling for a pulse, but he tries his best to not stir her body too much.
Nothing, and then… a heartbeat, and another.  Her chest rose and fell shakily, but her eyes were closed, her head lilting to the side.
“There, there, girl…” Hubert says, reaching over to Altena to comfort the beast a moment, though, he wasn’t sure what the prognosis was.
The closest healer was quite far away from where she fell, and he had to send his mages to continue defending the front.  Alone with her, he silently curses himself for not paying attention to the healing courses that Byleth made him take.
And yet, his mind reaches back to that time…
“Hubert, healing isn’t…” Lindhardt yawned.  “…Isn’t so tough, you know.  Look, you’re wearing gloves, that’s automatically going to make things harder for you when you’re a novice.”
Hubert grit his teeth.  “The gloves do not come off.”
Linhardt shrugged, a little smirk on his face.  “Suit yourself, but you’re only making it harder on yourself…”
Hubert reaches down, hands trembling, as he feels a bit of his own blood trickling down his face.  With much trepidation, he reaches down to his right hand, peeling off his glove.  Closing his eyes, he begins to mutter the incantation, repressing the urge to curse the gods themselves for what they’ve done.
And nothing.
The depths of memories come back to him.
“Hubie, you have to feel your own life force, your own heart beating in your chest, to be able to heal.”  Dorothea said, in her sing-song voice.  “Feel your breath, the blood flowing in your veins”
Hubert huffed.  “I would prefer if my own interiority remain a mystery to me.”
Dorothea shook her head.  “Hubie, that’s no way to live! You’re a living being!”
“For now.” Hubert scoffed.
Hubert takes another stabilizing breath, feeling the air flow into his lungs.  He was much more used to snuffing out the life force in others, and dark magic very much involved accessing the non-physical side of yourself, it had almost nothing to do with the blood in your veins, the breath in your chest.
And yet, the focus allows him to calm himself.
But his mind once again reaches back to the past.
“Hubert, it’s not about faith in the gods.” Lindhardt said, as he shook his head.  “It’s faith.  Your fellow man, the future, hell, even the Empire.  You don’t need to believe in the supernatural.  You just need to believe.”
And Hubert’s mind draws back to the present, as he feels his heart beating in his chest, the breath in his lungs, and, suddenly, he feels his perception reach out towards Hillevi, her weak heartbeat, her shallow breathing…
And he focuses on that, and on his resolve, what he’s been fighting for. 
And the woman that he loves.
And suddenly, a bright blue-white light erupts from his palms, spreading to his fingertips, lighting their faces with a brilliant azure gleam as her wounds glow bright white.  The arrow, embedded in her side, slowly pushes its way out of her body.
And Hillevi takes a gasping breath, her eyes shooting open.
“…H-Hubert?”

Mulled Wine and Hot Cocoa - They say there’s nothing like sharing a warm drink by the fire the shake off any holiday ennui you might have. So grab a mug and a buddy, and toast to the quiet moments.
Giving a quick look at the table, Minerva immediately noticed that the girl with the cool headband wasn’t in her own table –what a pity! She looked a bit disappointed, but she didn’t lose the opportunity to sneak around and search for her, until she eventually found her nearby the pretty fireplace located on the northern part of the dining room: there were some logs bench perfectly placed in front of the chimney and on one of them, the mysterious lady that complimented her once. She didn’t forget her.
Quickly, she grabbed a couple of glass on a silver traiy nearby, filled with a hot liquid – probably tea – and with a gentle touch, she reached out for her left shoulder and waited for her to turn and greet her, hopefully not bothering her or anything else.
“Here, I hope we can share a moment together” the red-haired woman gently offered the drink, slowly making her way on the log, “How have you been?” she began to sip the liquid, happy for the choice, since it was her taste. “I’ve always wanted to ask you to train sometimes together..” she paused, not sure what to add, “You seem very skilled”
Altena offers a smile as she takes the drink Minerva has brought for her. It doesn't really matter what's in it--she's never been picky. And it's just nice to have a face that isn't super familiar nearby.
And she asks about training. Altena's eyes light up at that. Seems like they have more in common than just their sense of style.
"I'd like that a lot. You have a wyvern too, right? I've seen you around the stables sometimes. Peaches--" She sighs. It never does get easier having to explain her name choice to strangers. "I was a kid when I named her but I'd like to see her make some friends. I know she misses hers back home."
Her wyvern isn't the only one. She thinks about Eda and Deen and Arion and Coirpre and what they would think to see her at a ridiculously over the top party like this.
She thinks about Lloyd too and his attempt to cheer her up and smiles as she thinks about his fun fact. Maybe it would make her seem a little cooler to Minerva. "Hey did you know you can use peach pits to create a poison?"

Might I ask what the Corpul phenomenon is?
THE BRIEF EXPLANATION: we gassed up coirpre so much during cyl7 + looked at his wiki page for so long that we tricked ourselves into believing he’s a major character
THE LONG EXPLANATION:
at the beginning of january 2022 i finally picked up fe4 again after a few months of not playing. my Return to jugdral was marked by being incredibly baffled by coirpre and also hannibal’s fucked up recruitment:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyway. due to being on the wikipedia too long trying to make sense of them we accidentally got really attached to coirpre as a character and for what he brings to the story. especially with his lene support and that whole deal… and the altena + hannibal support? also fire as hell if you haven’t read that one. some may call it copium or sunk cost fallacy after spending so long trying to evade hannibal and trying to get either of them to not die but i know it for what it is: #LOVE.
this all comes to a head when we check his cyl placements and we are like Fuckkkk. he is never getting into feh. he’s literally in the lowest percentile. his best year was in cyl3 where he got 43 votes. it’s over. BUT then we all collectively decided to coirpaganda for cyl7, which ALSO just so happened to be the ONE YEAR they did that dumbass rising heroes thing where they were like ‘👉 hey look at these guys who ranked up way higher than last year’.
Tumblr media
^so like i don’t wanna say we did this but also objectively i think we did. we were forreal trendsetters. and see the fight is not truly over until he’s added into feh but i trust that it will happen this year. intsys will fall to the phenomenon as well it’s only a matter of time and also bribing my mutuals.

I’m having too many Feelings™ about Noir again, this time specifically about how no “Sympathetic and Well-Intentioned Tragic Villain” in any other piece of media will ever be done as successfully and effectively as Altena.
#like. there are SO many Overarching Villains of a work that the creator(s) will try to make me sympathize with and it just. does NOT hit.#and there are so many instances in other works of trying to convince me that 'oh their villainy is an outgrowth of a wider problem' and#'they truly think they're the Good Guy here' and so few of them EVER manage to actually do that#but ALTENA?? yes. I 100% believe her conviction to her cause is real. I 100% believe that in a different world she could have just been#a regular woman who went about living her life with a relative degree of adjustment#and she's willing to put her money where her mouth is!! if she needs to die for her cause she will!!! if what it takes for The Plan to work#is for her to suffer the consequences that all her detractors/potential enemies do then fine!! there's no special exception for her here!!!!#and most importantly I 100% believe that what she does IS out of a genuine belief that this is what is best for the world.#she's not using that as an excuse to just do whatever she wants. she's not using a theoretical noble ideology to hide behind in order to#convince herself that she serves a higher purpose. she's not using her cause as a cover THIS IS TRULY WHAT SHE WANTS FOR THE WORLD AT LARGE#THIS is (to her) the way to prevent what happened to her from happening to anyone else. THIS is the way to solve the world's lack of#accountability. THIS is the way to put the maximum amount of good back into the world.#EVERYONE needs to be judged according to an immutable standard INCLUDING HER. and SHE CANNOT BE THE ONE CREATING THAT STANDARD.#IT HAS TO COME FROM SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS NOT OVERLY-BIASED ON ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM LIKE SHE IS.#THERE IS NO DIVINE JUSTICE THERE IS NO JUSTICE AT ALL SO SHE HAS TO DO HER PART IN CREATING IT BUT THE DISPENSE OF THAT JUSTICE /CANNOT COME#FROM HER/ SHE /KNOWS/ THAT. SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO RECOGNIZE THAT.#UGH MY /GOD/ THERE IS NO STORY LIKE THIS EVERYONE GO WATCH NOIR#altena#the light of my life <3#there will never be another <3 <3#noir 2001

[ Spaghetti and Meatball ] She knew. He told her what he planned on wearing. But she laughed it off. A joke, for sure. It had to have been a joke.
It wasn't a joke.
When she sees him, her face turns as red as the dress she's wearing. She tries so hard to keep her eyes on his face but it's difficult. Even if his outfit is ridiculous, he's still so hot.
"S-spaghetti!" Altena manages to stammer out as she slams the plate she's carrying down on the table in front of them. "Ah I mean...I'm not going to lose this year. When I win," brown eyes flick down to his legs before going back to the safety of looking at his face, "when I win, you're going to sit in a snowbank."
Anyone else in his position might feel a fool or embarrassed, or something of the like -- but Linus had confidence, or foolishness, in spades!
Plus, it was just too funny to see reality hit Altena in the face when she saw that he was, in fact, not joking. She's staring -- in a not at all subtle way -- and her face matches her dress in color the closer she gets. Silly as the whole thing may be, it sure is a delightfully good ego stroke to see that she's hardly put off.
Linus smirks, letting his gaze roam from her beautifully flushed features to the dress that she'd worn so well last year -- a low whistle of appreciation on his lips. "Don't really care for this sorta fancy party, but Saints, you do look good in that," he says, finally letting his eyes land on the plate of spaghetti as she slams it down between them.
The fire in his eyes shifts into something more mischievous and competitive now.
"Tryin' to take my crown from last year? Ya know I won't make it easy for ya, right?" he barks out a laugh, settling down across from Altena, more than ready for round two of their little betting competition. "Oh, yeah? Sheesh, gettin' me back for the fountain thing last year, huh? Well, when I win, maybe you'll just have to make a snowball and throw it at someone while they dance!"
Dice Roll: 13
And, just like last year, the poor plate of spaghetti didn't stand a chance -- though, he was a bit off his game this time, watching Altena more than where he was putting his fork.

"Patty."
There is no backing out now. She's already initiated the conversation. Altena's cheeks are bright red and her brows pinched tightly together as she thinks about what she has come to ask Patty about.
"You know things about boys, right?" She remembers her loudly declaring Prince Shannan's girlfriend or something during the war. Altena hadn't paid much attention to it then but Patty's big talk might come in handy now. And she remembers the friendship bracelet Patty had made for her to adorn the Gae Bolg with so maybe she's someone she can trust. "Hypothetically speaking, say there's someone who likes somebody and they're pretty sure that somebody likes them back. How would that person go about doing something like um kissing that other person? Do I--I mean they--just do it?"
"I-- huh?" Her jaw nearly drops at the simple question Altena poses for her. Most people didn't exactly take her seriously when it came to the romance department, after all! But-- well, what better way to prove to everyone that she actually knew what she was talking about! "Yes! Yeah-- I mean, I'm kinda like...the man expert, ya know?"
...Okay, this was already not going very well. She can feel her confidence waver, ready to throw in the towel before Altena can even ask for her help. What if this was a man she barely knew? What if they were in some sort of forbidden love situation, one that no one had any hope of making work-- especially not Patty of all people!
But as the wyvern rider continues speaking, Patty suddenly feels blessed by every single crusader there is-- maybe even a god from a continent she's never heard of before listened to her prayers. They already like each other-- what the hell advice does Altena even need at this point!?
Tumblr media
"Heh...piece of cake." Patty snickers to herself, looking as confident as ever. "Well, first of all...your friend probably shouldn't just do it without...asking first. Ya know-- kinda standard. But if they both like each other it shouldn't be that hard! So...yeah. Just ask 'em, and I'm sure this lucky guy will say yes to y-- I mean! Say yes to your friend!"
