hailingjavelin | [fire emblem] fates: conquest (spoilers)

I have finished playing the Conquest route tonight!

cut for spoilers:

I've been playing on and off on my sister's 3DS and I'm not much of a gamer but today (mainly yesterday, as it's past midninght) I started out after Sakura's battle. So... chapter 23, Possessed? Maybe? Was there a chapter between hers and Hinoka?

Takumi's death was painful, but I've been biased since a character I played back when I had no clue about Fire Emblem liked him (though in that character's case "like" is a strong word, "tolerate" is more appropriate. but his "tolerate" is normal peoples' "like") but it was very painful, the most painful in this route for me personally.

One thing I'm upset about is my own miss when I failed at getting Forrest into my army but that's completely only my own fault (though, also because of rp, I have a great love for Forrest). I got the other children--except Soleil because Laslow didn't get married and Benny's and Arthur's children...I think I remember most of them... I need to marry him to someone next time i get the chance.

I was very happy to see Hinoka and Sakura, particularly Sakura because she's so adorable (as is her friendship with Elise), at Xander's coronation. Xander holding a speech, so cool, and his providing the people in the whole town for the royal banquet.. I've fallen again. Hinoka being coronated sounds awesome.

It's got a nice little ending there, and more of my love to Xander--but Effie is Best Girl and my forever wife.

And then some notes on the couples and their epilogue notes, because I love my precious children and have fallen for a bunch of these couples without intending to; I didn't have any specific marriage goals for anyone going in and I just ended up falling for couples as their supports played out.

	Kana Other parent: Effie I have already said this before, but Effie is Best Girl and my forever wife. I absolutely Love Effie. I did not expect to fall for her, but it was not difficult to do so. Her practicing to make her hugs less bone-breaky, or the part where she could easily bench-press or princess carry the Avatar (and my Avatar is the tallest type, so that image is made even better by that). She's just.. there are no words. As for Kana I think this child is really cute. It's been a while since I read her supports but she just is so cute.
	Velouria Other parent: Peri Peri and Keaton were interesting, they're a lot on the same or similar wavelengths. She does seem to be able to learn a lot about Things from him, and it seems like she does learn. Their daughter is cute but she and her father as well could use a couple hours in front of Hoarders. But that's me, I can't let my space be too messy or my head gets messier than it is. They seem to do just fine and if they're happy and don't cause trouble with it, for others, then sure.
	Shigure Other parent: Niles Shigure is a sweet, sweet boy. It's a while since I read his supports with his parents but his supports with Niles.. Proud Papa is Proud. Speaking of Niles and Azura though, I did not expect to fall in love with this couple. It is also painful to think that he doesn't know where his wife disappeared to, or that their children don't know. This goes for any Azura ship where she disappears but still, in this case it's Niles, and it's Shigure and Nina. I need fics with this.
	Nina Other parent: Azura This Girl. I love this girl. She is the best child. I was so happy when she was introduced in Heroes, and I think I'm just about done saving up as many orbs as I can, and I'm going to try to fish for her and for Ophelia, because I Need Them. Her supports with Shigure are great too. As I said by Shigure's picture, I need fics regarding this family. But also art! Something else that I need is Soleil/Nina/Ophelia stuff.
	Midori Other parent: Nyx Nyx and Kaze. So good. As a book lover I support bonding over books. Midori is cute and Nyx is great and so is Kaze. Their supports are good and nice.
	Ophelia Other parent: Elise The Best Chuuni Couple and The Best Chuuni Daughter. Honestly they make a great family. Odin is great, and his supports with Elise are just so good, they match well. Their daughter is wonderful and she's just so good. This is a goofy kind of family. I am so happy that she's in Heroes now too, I want her.
	Siegbert Other parent: Severa Yo I love tihs set of parents. Personally I love puns and bad jokes and stuff, it's the kind of comedy I've grown up with, and when I found out that Severa is a punny character, it was bound to make her popular in my book. On top of that she's a red-head, and I have a thing for red-heads. And I just love Xander since I first saw him, he's why I started playing Fates and went Conquest. As for their son, Xander, why does he share part of his name with your sword? I imagine that all the couples got married properly post-war (unless they conducted ceremonies in camp, I think Xander would have that power but his is a royal Kingly wedding) but why would the records stop?
	Sophie Other parent: Felicia Love At First Support, I swear. Felicia and Silas are super sweet as a couple, and I love their daughter. She's just so good. She's actually one of my favorite children. Partially it's because I love horses (I've started riding again after a break of about ten years and going to the stable is Happiness), and it's so great to see her interactions with Avel. Avel is a whole character as well, I love that horse. Felicia quitting as a servant and joining the military is pretty cool; she's a good fighter and Battle Families are always cool.
	Forrest Other parent: Beruka I am absolutely biased toward Forrest, I love this sweet boy. But since I failed in getting him in his paralogue, I have no idea how he interacts with his parents beyond the little that shows in his paralogue. Support your son, Leo. As for Leo and Beruka, they're interesting and though I wasn't invested after their first support, I am now very invested in this couple. Her darkness and his kindness is a nice combination and I want more of these two. I need to read Forrest's supports with them, too. I ship him with Sophie and I don't even have any reason for it (yet, but I can ship anything with zero reason anyway).
	Dwyer Other parent: Camilla I love this child but I only got the C supports for him with either of his parents, because his was the last paralogue that I finished before just bouncing through the rest of the route. (Bounching is an exaggeration, it took a shit-load of hours.) But I love him from what little I have. I wonder would it be good to tell Jakob that Camilla likes Dwyers coffee more than she likes Jakob's, or not? As she mentions that Jakob would keep an unending stream of coffee coming to her. Camilla would love the attention, I'm sure, but constant drinking of anything can't be good for the bladder in the long run. Camilla giving up her title for Jakob is sweet, and I can imagine her being a very doting wife and mother. He'd be a very attentive husband. And they do share their devotion to the Avatar. What a thing to build a relationship on though.
