Annette x Ashe makes sense, but I love Annette x Felix the most 🙂

[@HeeminGaminStation]

This is probably one of my favorite comments because it’s exactly how I feel. I really wanted to point out how many of Annette’s supports pointed towards the Ash one, but are the exact same time the Felix ones are some my favorites in the game I love all of the songs and how reacts to them thanks for helping me to articulate how I feel.

[@DSeditor22]

@@HeeminGaminStationYeah I also love all of her songs 😁 they’re so cute! I think the main reason I like their support conversations is since Felix is being nice and chill for *once* while he’s being rude/mean to everyone else (or guess you can exclude Bernadetta haha)

[@DSeditor22]

@@HeeminGaminStationthen again Felix’s support conversations with Bernie is also kind of underrated, and what makes it better is that he keeps his personality like when he uses phrases like ‘you’re being difficult’, ‘shut up’, ‘you don’t know anything about me’, etc, and especially when it discusses about his interest in Bernie’s ‘technique’, and it’s also funny when Bernie calls him a nut 😂 but I still find his pair with Annette the cutest while him and Bernie is awesome

[@MoonlightBrillance]

Edelgard/Dimitri x Byleth is canon for each respective route in my opinion. They get so much development, hints and scenes together it’s crazy.

[@diooverheaven6561]

Funny thing is that Byleth is one of names given to one of demonic kings Beleth who when you make contract with him gives you power with his love

[@kokulsathy6741]

I don’t think so. Tying the main story of Edelgard and Dimitri to romance with Byleth hurts their individual growth and makes what is a story about growth and moving forward lost in a “I can fix them” story. I see where people can say they have moments, which is fine, but tying it to canon cheapens the characters, especially for Dimitri considering he has mostly the same interactions with Male Byleth who he can’t romance.

[@Paper_Jam200]

I think it's funnier to S-Support sothis after murdering Rhea in the Black Eagles route, because she still says "I must admit, you have done quite well." It's hilarious.

[@diooverheaven6561]

@@Paper_Jam200 Sothis be like: I never liked Rhea, she wasn't my child just a mistake

[@Paper_Jam200]

@@diooverheaven6561 Lmao right?

[@Cure_Hana]

My personal favorite 3H pairing would have to be Lorenz x Marianne. While it does start like most of Lorenz’s female supports, with him trying way too hard to flatter the noblewomen at school, you can see over time how much he helps Marianne to come out of her shell. She’s stunned to find that there’s someone who genuinely thinks she’s wonderful just as she is, cursed-lineage or not. At the same time, Lorenz learns to be more sensitive about her needs, realizing that the best thing for Marianne isn’t shallow compliments or grand gestures, but just an ear to listen to her troubles and a shoulder to cry on.

[@sirnonsense5033]

It’s funny how much Lorenz shines with some characters. His and Ignaz ones show his true side as well. He is easily misunderstood tho. Als Marianne deserves the best ❤️

[@BellaGem]

same :D

[@jordanrombaoa313]

Lorenz x Marianne is a good ship, but Dimitri x Marianne tho

[@arithefierysecretary6411]

I really like his and Lysithea's, ngl. He REALLY feels bad for his insensitivity and wants to keep her alive.

[@thatonewastrel9698]

[@prowertastic8136]

I really like Lysithea X Cyril with the only negative being that he can’t help her with her crests like Byleth or Lindhardt

[@HeeminGaminStation]

Yeah that one makes me Babby too.

[@malik2978]

I think Claude and Hilda are definitely a Canon pairing especially since Claude's goal is to bust open Fodland's throat and what better way than to marry the daughter of the house that constantly fights your people plus she never betrays him and they compliment each other's flaws well

[@fraserbuchanan1083]

I think if every character has the same max affinity then Claude and Annette get paired up. I personally like this pairing since I like both the characters and it is satisfying narratively when you consider who Annette's father is.

[@ravina6686]

Mercedes and Sylvain had a really meaningful support for both of their characters. It’s one of the few where sylvain seems really vulnerable and where Mercedes talks about herself. Plus playboy x nun is nice ;)

[@Arkayjiya]

Hubert is 100% canonically in love with Edelgard but Edelgard is even more blatantly in love with Byleth imo so I'm not sure that works for me. At least poor Monica is lucky enough to exist in a world where Edelgard doesn't seem to have a huge crush on anyone (her relationship to Shez is much more professional than her relationship to Byleth), but Hubert's crush is just fated to be... crushed in all of my saves xD

[@lemnlyme]

honestly i enjoy hubert’s love for edelgard because its not typical crush, he is 100% devoted to her and his love for her is almost akin to a priests love for his deity. hes in love with caring for her, making his whole life dedicated to serving as her right hand. he knows she doesnt love him in the way that lovers would, and i would say he doesnt love her that way either. its a very fun relationship that isnt typical unrequited love, its something more and unique

[@solace7246]

In all of my saves too I never rank up Hubert and Edelgard xD. For as long as I live, Edelgard will only be Byleth's ahah. I could see them getting married IF they killed byleth in blue lions route and reunited Fodlan under Empire banner. In three hopes they have a higher chance of becoming married, byleth just doesnt give a f about anyone except Shez while Shez is just Edelgard's tool for TWSITD xD

[@LittleMissFoxy]

Never letting go of Linhardt and Marianne it’s the most adorable thing ever with them. Especially his confession when he literally says “come on don’t make me say it” when he’s been nothing but completely up front about his feelings. Plus the support is just quality for Marianne’s character when he goes so far out of his way to prove nothing bad happens to him when she’s around and all she does is make him happy.

[@ghostchannel4766]

Not even an honorable mention for Claude and Hilda? Debatably the most guarded guy in Fodlan asks her to come to his home (implied to be his ACTUAL home overseas), and that doesn't even get an honorable mention? Don't even get me started on the "grab my neck" bit. [Since it might not come through in writing, I'm not really upset. Just giving a thought].

[@datekaname2246]

My favorite caspar ship, is him and hilda, their final support is comedy gold.

[@yiyunzhuo5991]

Catherine/Dimitri having an A-rank is so crazy because it's pretty inappropriate considering they've known each other for so long and the very idea made me laugh

[@kittyykatie]

dimitri and byleth pairing made me cry it's so beautiful

[@chickennugget6684]

i wanna give an honourable mention to Sylvain & Felix's Azure Moon paired ending mentioning how they died on the same day, as if admitting one could not live without the other

[@sorrythisisathrowaway4585]

There's no straight explanation for Shamir and Catherine. Them calling each other "partner" all the time and the emphasis they place on that status, Catherine breaking her stoicism coolgirl front to admit she's terrified of Shamir leaving her someday, Shamir teasing(SHAMIR!!! TEASING!!! SHE ALMOST NEVER DOES THAT) for them to get married, Catherine BLUSHING and getting flustered, and plus them having a paired ending where they fight alongside each other until the end of their days, no mention of them marrying anyone else? Come on. Plus they both have "cool gay aunt" energy. It's a crime to keep them apart. (Which I did on Crimson Flower. Cuff me up, boys.) Anyway, even if my favourites weren't on this list, I still enjoyed it a lot. You have a fun screen presence and it's always nice to find people also as entrenched in Three Houses madness. :D

[@beththedarkmage3359]

They make Shamir canonically Bisexual in Three Hopes and even have her reference liking women and dating women before which I love.

[@Arkayjiya]

@@beththedarkmage3359 And also being stalked by women which I hate for her xD But we take care of that!

[@wingedjellifish11235]

Dimitri and Marianne not even getting an honorable mention... I'm fine, it's not like they have literally one of my five favorite romantic relationships in all of fiction or anything... (in all seriousness though, fun list! I can't believe you actually unlocked every single support in game haha)

[@shadowedfate151]

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SHIPS THEM!!! THANK YOU

[@00Siebes]

Dimitri and Marianne are top tier no doubt

[@jordanrombaoa313]

FINALLY someone who agrees yess!!

[@lemnlyme]

SAME OH MY GOD- i love dimitri and byleth so much but dimitri and marianne are a close second!!!! their support was so freaking amazing- they have so much in common and could heal from each other

[@melhall82]

Dimitri and Marianne is top tier... I unlocked their supports unintentionally and I'm blown away that not more people ship them.

[@blakenakatsukasa6224]

Lorenz X Marianne has been my number one FE3H ship since I first got their full support (on like my second or third playthrough) and they will REMAIN my number one FE3H ship, no matter how many times I play it. They’re so adorable, I see it as a requirement to get them together in every playthrough I do at this point-

[@gabo-kun2046]

I didn't even see Dedue x Flayn in the honorable mentions. This is madness!! Heck Cyril & Lysithea too

[@HeeminGaminStation]

Oh shoot I did forget Lysithia and Cyril even though it makes me so bappy.

[@morgan4574]

I got Dedue x Flayn during my first playthrough and I was so surprised. But as I read, it actually made sense! Dedue cooks for her and they just have a carefree life. And I assume Seteth is happy because Dedue can absolutely protect her and they live a quiet life out of public eye. So it's a surprisingly good pairing

[@theshinypeliper8813]

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING FLAYN AND DEDUE THOSE TWO GIVE ME LIFE

[@joshcolon1780]

Dedue and Ashe is my favorite theirs literally made me cry

[@danebirbhaha7520]

Maybe not romantically canon (even if subtextually definitely) but dedue and Dimitri are my favorite pair by far.

[@kamilapodolak9289]

Solid choices. Call me trash but Byleth x Edelgard was always the ship for me. Thematic relevance? Metaphysical connection? People created to destroy each other teaming up and falling in love? All the romantic undertones outside of supports? The title song out right saying Edelgard is in love with them? Them coming back to life, regaining their humanity while the woman they love literally hears their first heartbeat? Screaming, crying. Hubert's devotion is truly heartwarming however, damn I'd marry him myself.

[@moonlight2870]

Dorothea and Petra is my favorite one

[@wolffster25]

Want to hear something even crazier Caspar and Lorenz are played by the same actor Benjamin Diskin! He is a very prominent VA and those are the main two voices he uses a lot. It’s also not the first time he’s done that just lookup the show Codename: Kids Next Door.

[@zytenespada6564]

Bernadetta and Lorenz would be the funniest conversation ever I wish it happened.

[@StillSomeone]

I’m just gonna throw it out there: Dorothea and Petra. I don’t care if Petra is supposedly straight, they have a connection I can’t deny

[@diooverheaven6561]

That moment when Dorothea is Dorothea and turns woman gay

[@Arkayjiya]

Petra isn't straight. She just isn't into F!Byleth while Dorothea has more game with women. Petra and Dorothea's ending is pretty clearly not platonic.

[@cantraandora6243]

only on the opening so far but i appreciate the grind! Back when Awakening came out, i put over 1000 hours on it, unlocking every possible S support possible- all the genders, every character, even every morgan parent convo, the kids stuff, all the renown rewards, etc. i was OBSESSED with it, but i def know it can be a real slog! good job! i am doing the same now in 3h and am just missing a few more people T___T

[@HeeminGaminStation]

Same… well actually I unlocked all the conversations with one child and their fathers parents and decided… “ yeah I’ve done enough“

[@christophermerrill8925]

[@everettwatsonrazorearcwolf6553]

Man, I RESPECT the dedication.

[@Tumbo2]

always a good day when we get to see brad

[@pinkraven7043]

Lorenz x Marianne will always be my No. 1 FE3H ship. I’m a sucker for relationships where a extrovert brings out an introverts best self and the introvert, in turn, helps the extrovert be more mellow/sensitive. And then there’s how Lorenz sees Marianne’s beauty and views her smile as something precious. How Marianne appreciates his kindness and enjoys his company. And how he won’t push her to reveal her secrets and anxieties until she’s ready- UGH- it just all works for me. I also enjoy Felix x Annette, cause I think it’s the relationship that brings out Felix’s dorkier and kinder side the best. I can’t get over how adorable it is that Felix actually *seeks out* Annette’s singing. Even his support and confession to Byleth was devoid of any real development like that on Felix’s part. Finally, I 100% agree with you about Ignatz x Flayn. I thought it was cute how Ignatz saw her as a muse and how flattered Flayn was about it. There’s something tragically bittersweet about a relationship between them as well. An artist who strives to capture the beauty of a goddess he fell in love with and said goddess willing to wait centuries for said painting? That’s a pretty good fanfic right there.

My personal favorite pairings are Yuri x Bernadetta, Dimitri x Marianne, and Petra x Caspar. I just feel like all of their interactions are just so intriguing to watch.

[@df60]

Oh my God, reading all the comments made me remember my favorite pairing of all time. Sylvain x Felix. You would think it doesn't work with how prickly Felix is on a daily basis but their interactions are just so cute. It really does feel like all their supports were queer-coded.

[@pancakes8107]

I honestly think my favorite support conversation is Dimitri and Marianne A support. Like they gives such good lines 😭 LIKE: "I promise to the goddess of Fódlan that I will never give you cause to despair." AND THERES MORE THAT ARE LIKE THAT

[@hakkesho12]

What a fun video! It’s vindicating to see a whole video dedicated to headcanons in Three Houses, cuz I can’t help but get sidetracked by who I’ll pair with who every time I play 🤣. Glad you liked Claude x Petra’s too, I love how candidly they get to talk about their perspectives as foreigners. They also fight really well together so it’s easy to pair them up anyway haha.

I'm not a shipper of Bernadetta and Caspar, but they're relationship is still cute for me. My personal favorite ship is Bernadetta x Felix. It's freaking adorable and I find that both characters grow a little bit because of eachother. I can write paragraphs about how their support makes sense for their characters, but I won't subject you to my obsession lmao. Anyway they're my OTP and I'm absolutely obsessed with them (along with Sylvain x Dorothea and Dimitri x Marianne). Great video, and felibern fans rise up!

There are SO much pairing/endings I love so here are few of my favs: Byleth Marianne(my canon pairing because she is best girl) Byleth and Bernadetta on CF route because of how she grew and overcame her fear it’s sweet Any pairing with Lysithea getting to live her life, even the one with Hanneman but her and Claude is my go to, or Linhardt Mercedes and jeritza, their ending got me with the feels, same goes to Annette and Gustave Sylvain and Mercedes Felix and Ingrid Ignatz and Flayn Cyril and Shamir Hubert and Bernadetta Linhardt and every support he has Ferdinand and Constance, Edelgard, or Dorothea There are many more but that’s bout it

[@Cure_Hana]

Yuri x Bernadetta is great and does make the most sense from a story perspective; but my favorite Bernie ship, weirdly enough, is with Raphael. Despite how naive and loud he is, Raph ends up being the most effective in helping Bernadetta overcome her social anxiety.

Bernadette and Hubert is a good few supports as well. And the of course the blushing Hubert sprite in his supports with Ferdinand speaks volumes.

Yes, Byleth and Sothis is the best. As you've said, every S rank with Byleth is too OP, but I always felt they were more fanservice than anything. Sothis was always the cannon for me, and I'll stand by that forever. But Shamir is the best one without counting Sothis. And even if it makes sense, I don't like seeing the Lysithea x Lorentz as cannon. Neither with Linhardt although I think it is the safest choice. Claude x Petra surprised me when I played the Golden Deer route. I always thought Byleth was the best for him, but I like considering Petra as cannon

I LOVE Dedue/Mercedes. She’s a nun but she’s very openminded about Dedue and his beliefs, and is one of the people really willing to want to actively learn about his culture instead of just kinda putting up with him. Mercedes may be a church girl but she isn’t bigoted. I just think Dedue is such a sweet guy and he was one of my favorites in the game. He needs someone soft and kind like Mercedes. Just the way she wants to learn about him and his life is so cute!

[@Shalakor]

Man, wishing Engage makes it easier on you was a real monkey's paw kind of situation. I'll still honorable mention Marianne x Dimitri despite it being pretty popular in the comments already, but as a personal pick for a support pairing I latched on to quite firmly, it'd be Petra x Ashe, which I further contextualized by making them my Pegasus/Wyvern unit duo in that run. The serendipitous headcanon of imagining them often flying out over the sea together to reach their favorite secluded swimming spot really elevates the connection of their ending nicely, and Blue Sun would be a kickass name in relation to a group of sky knights in particular (additionally they had great utility in combat with her still going through Thief to grab Steal and his Lockpicking and Deadeye, making a fantastic behind enemy lines long range infiltration team for expertly tackling secondary objectives while covering for each other).

[@yiyunzhuo5991]

LMAO YOU'RE RIGHT ON HOW BAD EDELGARD'S S RANK CUTSCENE IS

[@DeadmanHopping]

….Wow…to each their own, but basically the only one I agree with here is Caspar and Bernadetta. The fact that Shamir X Catherine does not appear on this list when their story is one of rearranging priorities and examining the value of everything (even religion) compared to your partner, is sacrilegious. Ingrid X Ashe (Lawful good power couple) Dorothea X Petra (Supportive queens) Leonie X Felix (Always good to see actual respect from Felix) Felix X Sylvain (Yes, only kinda sorta in Azure moon, but the sheer amount of tsundere energy from Felix) Constance X Hapi (90% of Hapi’s convo’s are great, but this one is just adorable) Claude X Hilda (Let’s face it, these two were married from the start) Byleth X Edelgard is high up there too, though. Her majesty is a massive bisexual dork who needs all the hugs, okay?

[@Hemestal]

Idk, I played the game no less than 10 times and I never took the time to sit down and realize that there were cutscenes locked behind supports. Since they had no impact on my gameplay, I ignored them alltogether. By the end of my first run I had ignored my supports so hard I had no marrying prospects other than Sothis and since she is or WAS just a voice in my head I took the monk route and walked away into the sunset.

My own top 10 ships for this game would be: 10. *Claude/Hilda* 9. *Yuri/Constance* 8. *Flayn/Dedue* (HM: Flayn/Dimitri) 7. *Seteth/Catherine* 6. *Ingrid/Ashe* 5. *Lorenz/Lysithea* (HM: Lorenz/Marianne) 4. *Ferdinand/Dorothea* 3. *Manuela/Hanneman* 2. *Sylvain/Mercedes* (HM: Sylvain/Ingrid) 1. *Felix/Annette* Whenever I replay the game (my "canon" route is AM for the record) I rarely deviate from these pairings if I can avoid it. I'll admit I do actually like Byleth/Dimitri quite a bit despite Byleth's complete lack of a personality. The story just flows so much better if your pair them up imo.

I have a lot of opinions, but I love hearing other people’s ideas! I can’t believe I’ve never spent more time on Ashe x Annette, I’ve been more hung up on Felix x Annette, mostly because Annette is the only one that Felix doesn’t give attitude to. (On purpose? Her interpretation is funny.) And a lot of Felix’s endcards are kind of sad. Felix x Lysithea is actually rather heartwarming, in a way, especially since she was more stubborn than he was in that case! The endcard is what sells that ship for me. I’m intrigued by Felix x Dorothea, but their endcard is kinda vague, so I kinda wonder. Haha, I do have other opinions about other character ships, I just fuss over the ones that are difficult, and Felix is sure difficult. Also, I was writing fanfiction just sort of for myself and Felix was a side character in this thing I was writing, and I realized: the man hardly gave himself anything to live for. Kind of sad. He needs somebody as vivacious and adorable as Annette, or needs to view something more lasting like family being important, like when he runs into Lysithea after the war. Hubert, on the other hand….he’s a can or worms, but DESPITE that he has some of the most interesting ships. Hubert x Shamir, of course, seems to make sense, I think Heemin mentioned it in passing… I actually find Hubert x Petra interesting, because if Hubert can’t have Edelgard, Petra is sort of like a psychological surrogate. I am not advocating that people shouldn’t aim high, but it is interesting how quickly he takes an interest in her, and apologizes for comparing her to Edelgard, even subconsciously. Their endcard blew my mind, they didn’t always get to spend time together, but they had a LOT of children. Hubert x Dorothea is fun, because I feel like that one would be a slow burn at first, but once they got a sense of how to work together, it would mean more to each other than just a mere contract as they thought. 10/10, I would read that. My one and only complaint about Hubert x Edelgard is that in their endcard, it kinda sounds like they kept their relationship sorta the same. Even when they were free to marry. Even though it is sweet that they didn’t need to tell each other outright. I just like some confirmation myself, I guess. As for Ashe….I just find Ashe’s supports top-tier, no matter who he’s talking to. Ashe X Annette is so sweet, but like I said, I missed it because….well, because I stole him the first time I played, and then I shipped him with Petra. I kinda liked their relationship. Also Ashe x Hapi is not bad. But I like Linhardt x Hapi as well. Pretty much any of Dimitri’s or Claude’s ships are great. Possibly unpopular opinion, though? My favorite Ignatz ship is Ignatz x Maya. And if you forgot who Maya is, that’s Raphael’s sister. Sylvain x Dorothea just seems sooo right somehow, maybe that’s lame to say, but yes, Sylvain x Mercedes is pretty neat too. I was sold on liking Sylvain x Ingrid mostly due to a fanfiction I read, which made me look at them differently. A ship I have not seen, but want to try to understand, though, is Seteth x Ingrid. Not sure if I would like it. But I wanna know what their conversations are like.

I feel like a relationship that would be totally canon (if the writers weren't cowards) is Catherine and Shamir.

[@paperluigi6132]

With how much special attention it’s given, I’d say that for the Azure Moon timelines, F!Byleth x Dimitri is canon.

[@MoonlightBrillance]

I agree

[@dragonstouch1042]

Agreed

[@thesuperdk513]

I really liked Mauella and Haneman's epilogue.

[@emoneestep3244]

“their marriage was not publicly known, however, as the songstress elected to keep it secret for the sake of both of their careers” I mean I get on her side because of her doting male fans but for him… yeaaaah teachers sleeping with their students is questionable 😂😂😂

[@HeeminGaminStation]

Ignatz x Maya 11/10

[@marywallace3620]

[@HeeminGaminStation]

I was always a fan of the song "I'm my own Grandpa"

[@marywallace3620]

@@HeeminGaminStation xD Me, too! Btw love your videos, Heemin Gamin Station.

[@karmenion]

Sorry, but this video isn't complete without cake ship. Idk if you just hate Felix, but his ship with Lysithea is the best ship in a game. And on my playthrough /i got sh*fted by the game and for some unknown reason they didn't end together. Felix got paired up with Mercedes and when I saw that I decided to restart final map and kill off all the units that had A rank wth them for the happy ending they deserved... And then I saw the ending and was sattisfied with what I saw.

[@boigamer225]

Jokes on you! My favorite ship is M!Byleth x El, and has been since I got the game!!

[@Mermain123]

so i did crimson flower and maxed hubert and edelgard trying to pair them up but instead edelgard ended up with bernadetta somehow XD don't know how i married sothis but i really didn't like the scene personally.

[@hazelgreen8717]

Dimitri x Ingrid, Félix x Dorothea, Sylvain x Mercedes, Ashe x Annette ❤
