when I started shipping it if I did: According to my blog that was sometime around seven months ago or roughly, the second I met Sue in game.
my thoughts: I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HONESTLY I think they’re very well-suited and everyone who blindly ships Lilina with Roy is a coward.
What makes me happy about them: They’re two girls in similar situations but with different processes of Dealing With Things which I think makes them very able to support one another and help each other grow and honestly it’s just super cute once you think of it.
What makes me sad about them: They don’t even get to talk in the game because god forbid Lilina get to talk to anyone who treats her like a normal person.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: What fanfic? It annoys me how little content there is for something that seems obvious to me.
things I look for in fanfic: I mean hypothetically, I love Angry Lilina. A lot of shit happens to her in a very short period of time. Let her be mad about it! As for Sue, I like it when people give her a personality even if it’s subtle because the game didn’t give us a lot to work with.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don’t think there’s a lot of good options but assuming my happy gay marriages aren’t a thing, I’d probably have Lilina marry Mildain and have Sue return to the plains having adopted Fae and just live happily there as her epilogue suggests. She’s marry another Sacaean.
My happily ever after for them: They adopt Fae first of all! Sue supports Lilina in her bid for Lycia’s throne, and Lilina helps Sue re-establish peace on the plains. Lilina has a few kids with Mildain, at least one heir for each place but maybe more and it’s just a happy family! Lilina has a daughter named Madelyn after her grandmother, the way Lyndis was named for her grandmother. Anyway it’s Cute and Good.
who is the big spoon/little spoon: Sue is the big spoon.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Horse-back riding, and spending time in nature.
cue me casually ignoring all of IntSys’ hints that I should consider Roy/Lilina canon
YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE FUCKERS
from the outside my fixation on Lilina/Sue might seem illogical but I promise it is not and here are the steps
1: get mad that Lilina doesn’t have supports with anyone but Roy and her servants
2: try to figure out who in the army could be her friend
3: decide on Sue b/c they’re roughly the same age and in the same situation and (if you think Lyn is Lilina’s mom) they might have even known each other already
4: ????
5: fall into shipping hell
I won’t rest until I can finally give Lilina and Sue the s-support they deserve
Some older Lilina and Sue!
I tried some interesting things while coloring this. Some of it worked and some of it didn’t but I still think it turned out well enough!
