Hubert and Dedue are the vassals of Edelgard and Dimitri. One of them is cacklingly evil. One of them is a wounded stoic steeped in tragedy. Both of them would burn the world to advance the cause and safety of their beloved leaders.

Put these two polar opposite twins together, and you get... Squat! They don't support with each other! This is horse shit!

(Hilda would have been part of this OP but didn't want to put herself out there for Claude—"I'm not that attached to him")

Let's talk about Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    Hubert and Dedue are the exact opposite iterations on the same archetype and it is a crime that they can't support with one another

    It would be them staring silently staring at each other, then Hubert would smirk and Dedue would grimace.

    Wyborn and I had a fun few minutes comparing the S support ending images

    Overall the guy students are well and above better than the gal ones

    I really like Lindhardt's

    Felix and Ferdinand's made me laugh

    Gilbert turned into a Harlequin cover???

    Petra's is really nice

    Wish this artist would go a little bit more defined on the noses in a lot of these

    Felix’s is one of my favourites, it’s hilarious (his whole S-rank is, really). But I do really love Linhardt’s, too, and it was a sweet surprise when I S-Ranked him.

    Almost universally it's the chin that is so starkly different from the in-game portraits and throws the rest of it off.

    Sothis? I did see her option was marked as ??? when I finished Crimson Flower, but I wasn't sure what would happen if I picked it and definitely was going Edelgard that run already

    I'd like to see a fight between Dedue and Hubert

    Except it wouldn't really be a fight since Hubert had already poisoned Dedue beforehand

    But Dedue would get back up because there's no way he would die while Dimitri still needed him

    It was extremely likely greyed out for you, anyway. From my understanding it's something you have to go pretty far out of your way to do, and is potentially only possible with an amiibo in NG+.

    Apparently you can often click on it despite it being greyed out.

    i'll be honest I still think it's pretty weird you can S support Flayn and Cyril. They aren't as skeevy as the worst stuff in Awakening and Fates but they still make me go um hrm huh.

    Petra is like 44 days older than Lysithea, who is only like 2 months older than Cyril.

    Hubert has eyebrows, it just looks like they're forming a tangent with the top of his eye socket. That's not a wrinkle, he's just very meticulous in his grooming and shaping

    What I enjoy about Dimitri’s canonical super-strength (see: supports with Mercedes, Raphael, Felix B-Support, that random NPC who’s heard that Dimitri can lift a horse with one hand) is that it not only has a story reason, and isn’t just a comically impossible trait played for laughs, but it’s borne out in his crest power causing heavy damage to his weapon.

    And (Dedue A-Support):
    It explains how he was able to withstand so many blows on Dedue’s behalf and save Dedue’s life.

    My original draft for the OP was actually framing a discussion about which House Noble Boy is the worst: Ferdinand, Lorenz, or Sylvain

    I stopped partway through when I realized, no, that argument could get real bad

    it's probably sylvain, because he knows what he's doing isn't right but that doesn't really stop him much

    Why?

    Genuine question, especially if you’ve played Blue Lions Act 2.

  • PinfeldorfPinfeldorf Yeah ZestRegistered User regular
    Honestly because he doesn't ultimately give a shit about doing the right thing. The others all generally do. Felix talks a lot about how he has no use in a world without war.

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    I'm very early in Blue Lions but Felix seems a lot more morally principled than most of the people around him, including/especially Dimitri and Dedue

    It's just that his morals include "I will kill people with a sword," which puts him pretty comfortably within the mean for this series

    I like Felix quite a bit! He has good supports. Which is why I have now stolen him from Dimitri

    Felix and Petra on the same team is basically unfair to your enemies, they're unstoppable as all Hell. Especially if you get their Authority up high enough to use their respective themed Battalions—Petra with +20 Avoid is just silly.

    ):

    One of the really weird things about this is that some of the supports you can get as Male Byleth can definitely be read as romantically coded. Like, the A support with Hubert? God damn.

    And! You can get some paired endings that are easy to read as homoromantic, involving characters that aren't available for Byleth to pair up with
    Like Hubert and Ferdinand's paired ending, or Caspar when he's paired with Linhardt, or Petra when she's paired with Dorothea

    Sylvain and Felix have the gayest ending possible for any of the student a-ranks

    I'm afraid M!Byleth just isn't hot enough to smooch them bois.

    Hubert and Felix swipe left. Although the idea of anybody dating Hubert except maybe Edelgard is kind of laughable to me. Dude is committed to like one thing.

    Felix’s motivations are built around being strong so he’s able to protect those he cares about. He’s actually a lot less fond of killing than most of the other characters (this is mostly seen in A-supports) and he detests chivalry and the knights for how much they glorify and revere death. He trains and is largely obsessed with the sword because he doesn’t really know any other way of life.

  • AnzekayAnzekay Registered User, Moderator mod
    Hubert x Ferdinand is totally a thing

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    edited September 2019
    There’re at least two FE bloggers I follow who were also very much turned off by Felix’s female character supports and I’m so glad it’s not just me.

    Also, it was in the tweet thread, but here’s the full version of that anime Blue Lions opening someone created; big spoilers for Blue Lions Chapter 9/10, though.

    Felix's supports can basically be summed up as "This isn't killing someone with a sword I don't understand this."
