Sword gays showdown, round 1 of bracket one
Propaganda:
For Felix:
Best sword fighting unit in the game outside of the MC. He cares so much about sword fighting it is almost his identity. 2 of is paired endings is basically “historians say they were great friends”. He died on the same day as his childhood best friend in one, in another he cried more than the kings wife when the king died .
He’s awful. Like actually so mean and that’s why we love him. But when push comes to shove he actually has one of the most unbreakable moral codes. Felix is bisexual in the most bisexual way possible. His three most popular ships include: a man he insists he hates but dies on the same day as because “they can’t live without each other”, a man who Felix insists he hates and after said man’s death Felix spends the rest of his life protecting his burial, and finally a nice woman that he really likes to hear sing and they become teachers together. He has brother trauma, after his brother’s death he HATES knights because of something his dad said. So he also daddy issues. In conclusion: Very mean, interesting taste in men, loves women, has daddy issues
For Alucard:
He has a sword that he can command to fly around. He's bisexual. He's depressed. He's both the direct opposite of his father and too much like him. He's part of the most disastrous polycule to ever exist. He's a jerk. I love him, he's very important to me.
Symphony of the Night has too much of a cultural impact to not have him be included here. He’s an aroace icon with a huge sword collection (he’s bisexual in the animated series). He has a flying sword familiar and a sword he can hold in his hands. Loves taking naps.

re: Felix's conversation with Ingrid where he tells her to find a husband instead of trying to be a knight - I think he was actually trying to express genuine concern for her, but his understanding of the situation was wrong. Here's my thesis:
We know that what Felix hates most is the attitude many people in Faerghus (in particular, his family and close friends) have about the dead. While a lot of people he knows tend to honor their dead loved ones by what he sees as obsessing over them, constantly talking about their heroic martyrdom and practically worshipping them as saints, he views this behavior as unhealthy and harmful because it makes them want to emulate the dead and make pointless sacrifices over people who aren't even around anymore and probably wouldn't have wanted that in the first place.
From his point of view, the situation is this: Ingrid was engaged to his brother Glenn, who she loved and was excited to marry. Then his brother died, and in her grief, Ingrid abandoned her dream of living happily together with someone she loved and instead decided to "honor Glenn's memory" by becoming a knight like he was, throwing away the life she wanted so that she could follow in the footsteps of a dead man and die young but bravely because of some sort of fucked-up sense of duty or guilt or patriotism or something.
With this understanding, it makes perfect sense that Felix would try to dissuade her from this path. He doesn't want to see his childhood friend essentially destroy her life to fulfill an obligation based on an ideal that makes no sense, especially in the name of his brother, who loved Ingrid very much and would never have wanted her to be unhappy and deny her dreams for him! And besides, Felix is sick of losing the people he cares about. He doesn't want Ingrid to die too.
Was he right about Ingrid's motivations? No. Did he choose the best way of approaching her and voicing his worries? Also no! But I don't think it's plain and simple misogyny, or anything even close to that. I think he really was just worried for his friend.

Sylvain, showing off his scars: So, this mark here is from the time Felix bit me so hard it made me bleed. And this one is from when I woke him up from a nap and he scratched my face. He missed the eye by a few millimetres, I got lucky!
The girl he's trying to impress: Wow, your cat seems like a handful...
Sylvain, confused: A cat?
