Mercedes’ support with Sylvain got me thinking about Lavender marriage Sylvix.
I have a lot of fun comics prepared for this idea (trust me it’s not gay suffering. We don’t do that here) so I hope you can bear with me as I furiously try to get them all out there.
I wish fandom would stop treating liking cis het characters or het relationships as a guilty pleasure. This isn’t fire emblem exclusive but it really shows with Sylvain×Ingrid or Ivy×Diamant
Nothing against lgbtq ships and characters and headcanons obviously, but it is OK to like a straight ships too.
i could have sworn i posted this piece already, but i guess not? couldn't find it in my archive, anyway, so here it is!
this was done for cavalier, a sylgrid zine, in 2021. the pose is based on a sculpture called "the kiss of victory," which you can read more about here if you like.
also, some WIP shots under the cut:
i honestly dont remember how long this took me but apparently it was A WHILE because i have a LOT of WIPs ahahahah
anyway, i'm still quite proud of this piece. though i think i actually prefer how the colors looked in the middle few WIPs rather than how they ended up in the final. i think that may be a factor of RGB->CMYK conversion tho, so i dont think theres much to be done about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
