Stolen from damoselcastel on tumblr and a bunch of other people besides.

Send me a 'ship and I will tell you:

• When or if I started shipping it.
• My thoughts:
• What makes me happy about them:
• What makes me sad about them:
• Things done in art/fic that annoys me:
• Things I look for in art/fic:
• Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not…

[The art/fic part is the draw of this one, as I don't think I've seen that asked before.]

Nice read there, thanks

Personally, what make Sheeda x Marth such a good pairing IMO is because Sheeda is such an active player during the war something that many "canonized" pair seems to lack(in fairness, I have not played FE2 and FE10, so I don't know how Sothe/Cellica compares to Sheeda). Nanna get the Homeros scene, and Lilina recruited.... stuff and thats it.



And on relation of FE13, do you think the sheer amount of possible pairs a major contributor for the lack of "good" pairing? I dunno, I liked some of the pairing(the Cavalier duo, Sully x Fred, and Fred x Cherche being some of my favorite) but some other just.... does not work(mainly because their characters just does not fit with each other, or some stupidity like Fred x Cordelia A/S happened)

The same can be said for FE4 pairs, albeit not as bad

Celica has a great role in the main story; IMO she and Alm each carry off their half of the plot extremely well. It's another true partnership.

And on relation of FE13, do you think the sheer amount of possible pairs a major contributor for the lack of "good" pairing?

Absolutely.

FE4 was a free-for-all but even if you don't like a predestined couple (Arden/Fury?) there's a sense that some things are more possible/plausible/right than others. (Finn/Fury is never going to be right and I don't care how many J!fandom fanfics feature it.) Aside from Chrom and Sumia's small field of potential mates, FE13's Gen 1 is a big blurred mess of seemingly equal possibilities, and all the characters are stretched so thin to fit these possibilities that most of it just doesn't satisfy. Stahl/Sully and Henry/Olivia I really quite like, but the rest range from "I guess I don't hate it" to "Wow, I hate this."

Sothe/Micaiah is basically Seth/Eirika done over again, capitalizing on Micaiah's incompetence and Sothe's extreme competence with an "I swear to protect you always" thing going on.
