help me choose which ships to draw for my valentines challenge! As edeleth will most likely win both the previous polls it was featured, I omitted it here. I know marigrid is super rare, but I lovelovelove their supports in hopes.
special thanks to @broilmage who helped me come up with this list!

What are your favorite sapphic ships?
Ooooh fun!
For FE Fates:
Camilla/Hinoka was probably my biggest one. Love the aesthetic, very versatile dynamic
Elise/Sakura was also hella cute. Pink and purple sapphics! Outgoing + shy combo! I actually just pulled their Valentine's duo in FEH and their lines are so friggin cute (Elise would be such a sweet and supportive girlfriend)
For FE3H:
I really like Mercedes/Annette. Besties turned lovers, their ending together is cute, and also, Mercedes is well equipped to bully Gilbert (nicely)
I'll preface this by saying I played their paralogue before I got their supports, but I thought Dorothea/Ingrid was hella cute. Lots of potential for angst. I'd just... you know... rewrite their support line lmao
Hilda/Marianne. Cotton candy sapphics! Also, I just think it's really cute how Hilda is lazy AF but will still wind up doing things for Marianne to take care of her. Their duo unit in FEH is also really freaking adorable I mean
Hilda straight up throwing her body in front of Marianne? Marianne is completely uninjured while Hilda is lookin' pretty rough?! Tell me that doesn't just make your heart swoon
For FE Engage:
Celine/Everyone she's got some mad game. I think Chloe is her biggest pair but I actually think her support with Hortensia is adorable too.

Look I’ve been thinking about it a lot, but as a Dorothea and Ingrid shipper I don’t ship Dorothea and Ingrid because of their supports. Their supports feel incomplete. It’s a incomplete narrative, and there are better supports if you want to understand who these two girls are as people.
However, I DO ship them because of their paralogue, because ultimately their paralogue gets to the route of the real reason I ship them.
These are two young women, completely different in personality, in upbringing, and in goals and current experiences. These are two young women, who for different reasons feel the pressures of marriage.
Dorothea, wishes to marry for comfort and stability, and I think it’s in her hopes that from marriage she gets a family. She knows that love in marriage might be a impossibility, but yet she turns down the suitors that displease her again and again.
Meanwhile, Ingrid does not wish to marry but rather feels like she has to, to provide for the comfort and stability of her own family. Yet, she turns down every marriage proposal, because marriage isn’t a goal for her, it’s a prison.
Neither Dorothea or Ingrid truly feel like that there are options outside of marrying up in the world. Ingrid is expected to marry to pass on her family’s legacy, the crest, and bring income from a good spouse. Dorothea wishes to marry, because she doesn’t want to be a washed up opera singer, forced to live on the streets again, begging for scraps. Ingrid can’t truly make a career as a knight, and Dorothea can’t be a self made woman because the system of nobility doesn’t truly allow it.
So, when Ingrid has a engagement with a past suitor of Dorothea, a suitor that in Dorothea’s eyes was distasteful—Ingrid listens and they investigate the suitor together. Neither of them needed that suitor, and when it turns out that he is indeed the distasteful man Dorothea knew him to be, they fight him.
In their paralogue they are fighting for each other, and for themselves.
And the idea of both of them, making a life together, of not needing marriage with a man to provide for themselves is a beautiful thing. Perhaps they can create stability for one another. Maybe other girls can as well. Perhaps Dorothea gets to marry for love, and maybe Ingrid finds a partnership that doesn’t feel like a prison but rather sets her free.
And I just love them, and I don’t think their supports do what they could have been justice.
And that’s really what I had to say for today.
