Fire Emblem Sibling Duo Tournament: Losers Round 4 - Match 3
Propaganda under cut:
Delthea & Luthier:
Arguably the most realistic FE siblings. They get on each other's nerves quite a lot, but at the same time the love they have for each other is clear as day.
Eirika & Ephraim:
You can't stop them. They will decide to do something and now that is absolute fate and you're powerless to avoid it- literal forces of nature. It's hard to get on their bad side but if you're there they will both equally shatter your atom into nothingness. Their friendship bracelets are the plot device. They trained together as little kids- they were trusted with big stabby things as babies- and they're both still alive. Absolute units

A mountain mahogany tailpiece modeled after the fittings adorned on Antonio Stradivarius’ 1709 “La Pucelle” violin. Given the natural variability of the wood, this tailpiece features a few areas of extra rare dark sections, most notably in the top left corner of the piece.

I love the relationship between Canas and Luthier in Fire Emblem Heroes.☺
So I drew a comic before.
Sorry I can't translate it well.😭
Thank you so much for taking a look at it!

Let's make Luthier aware of his love for you.
What?I look like I'm in love?
What a load of... nonsense."
'To begin with, we're the same sex and he's married.He's a married man. He's a married man who brags about his wife whenever he gets a chance.No matter how nice he may be to you, do you understand that he has some basic problems?"
What?
That part?Are you conscious of him?Are you still in love with him?
[..........
[What a surprise!He has finally realized that he is in love!

Page 2
[I asked her what she thought of him.
'I told him that apparently he likes you.
'What?Is that so?Well, I'm very happy, but I'm a little embarrassed.
"So?You didn't tell him that, did you?
"No, no, no...I don't understand why you're asking me that.
Why are you even talking about my wife in the first place?Do you mean it in a condescending way?
Hey.
You didn't bring it up with him, did you?
You know what?He is very pure and should not be involved with a person like me who is involved in unholy magic, you understand me so far?His knowledge and inquisitiveness are so great that I even think that outside interference should be kept away from him.We want him to remain innocent, and it would be outrageous to violate such a realm of his.I would even protect him by any means necessary if he were to be harmed.Even if it's you, I won't condone it..."
So?
Did you bring it up with him?
Did I offend him?It was too late for me to realize that... oh God.
