Not really weird, but definitely controversial, is Seth and Eirika. People bang on about her and Innes/Ephraim, but I really enjoy the simplicity of their supports. It doesnât try to make it outlandish, or funny, or complicated. Itâs just a love that never would have happened under normal circumstances - but two people pushed to their breaking point together will undeniably form a hard-to-match bond. Sethâs speech to her in their A support just got to me - it was so clear to me that he didnât mean it, and was fighting against every fiber of his body to reciprocate her feelings.
Iâm well aware itâs a popular pairing, but, so many people have raged against me for suggesting itâs a great pairing (they also bang on about Seth and Natasha but as a Joshua stan thatâs just heresy) that I figured it fit.
A more odd pairing for me is Mia and Gatrie from the Tellius series. To this day I am absolutely panned of the miniscule interaction those two have, their personalities could have bounced off each other so damn hilariously. Oh well.
Probably this one, big fan of just the sheer amount of stuff going on with all the bosses and enemy variety. Not to mention, the cartographic marvel that is the sideways boat

isnât that from a hack? I think itâs Elibian nights? Also as a side note the fact that old Eliwood is used and a young Ninian makes Eliwood look disgusting
itâs cute that Roy name his son after Hector
Nah itâs just me having fun. Both the older Roy and Sue are in the repo.
I left the characters at how they looked at their death and Ninian died a couple years after marrying Eliwood and he is still alive even after the events of FE6, soâŚ

Canât go wrong with this classic. Itâs really fun to see newcomers react to Cantors for the first time.

I havenât really made a ship myself sadly. But If it were to be the weirdest ship Iâve seen.
It would have to be this boat from chapter 9 of The Grand Uprising
Look at it. itâs so smol.

For a serious answer, I donât really interact with FE shipping discourse or community stuff hardly at all so my perspective on what does and does not count as âweirdâ (in terms of how commonly itâs shipped) is⌠limited, but Chrom/Sully is probably tied with Chrom/Robin as the pairing I can most âget behindâ for him based on the twoâs dynamic. Iâm just a sucker for childhood friends to lovers romances, honestly. At least most of the time.
Donât think Maelica really counts as âweirdâ since a lot of people do ship that, but it is very cute.
Iâve also recently come to appreciate Eliwoodâs other two canonically-romantic paired endings besides with Ninian more than I originally did. EliNini gets the most attention since itâs the âsuggestedâ pairing for him, but I do think the other options are good, as well.
I dunno, Iâm not really that big into âshippingâ in general, at least as a lot of people tend to engage with it. It can be a fun side thing for me, but getting really big into things like ship wars and arguing for your ship being or becoming âcanonâ just seems like a needlessly-confrontational waste of energy to me.
I love how half of these replies are just about boats

I suppose itâs just smoother waters to talk about that than the boatload of embarrassment youâd have if you have a pairing you like that would make others turn starboard.

Dorothea and Ferdinand is my favorite pairing from 3H. They are super cute together and their supports are one of the best in the game.

Definitely a good end to a tragic beginning.

After months of lurking, is this really going to be my first post? I guess so. I love shipping. But this topic is about weird ships, so I will try to limit myself.
Hanneman and Byleth - Bylethâs interactions with his/her fellow teachers are a lot of fun. Itâs up to the player to decide how Byleth reacts to other characters, and I found the crest system very interesting, and thus found Hannemanâs enthusiasm for crest research to be relatable. Also, for those of you who were disappointed at how few same-sex options there were for male Byleth, I am pleased to report than Hanneman and male Bylethâs A support is surprisingly romantic.
Shura and Corrin - As you can see, I have a fondness for older characters. I played Conquest first, and I found Shuraâs chapter and backstory very interesting. Then the next chapter is the ninja cave, where Shura immediately proves his worth. It was a perfect example of gameplay and story working together. Corrin decides to take a chance by sparing Shuraâs life, and it works out. Corrin can often be far too optimistic, but choosing to believe in Shura ends up being the right decision. And in their support conversations (especially the ones with male Corrin) it turns out that Shura can be something of a dreamer himself. Also, like Corrin, Shura has connections to both Hoshido and Nohr.
Azura and Arthur - The two met briefly in childhood, and Azura cherished that memory for years until they were reunited by chance as adults. Itâs very sweet. Thereâs nothing weird about this ship, but I list it here anyway because most people never get their support conversations. As a result, this relationship is something of a hidden gem.

Arthur? As in, medieval Captain America?

Yup. That Arthur.
I see. The amount of fame the AzuRin ship gets is overwhelming, I forget thereâs other possibilities.

Narcian x Narcian because he, Narcian, has a weakness. If he passes a mirror in battle, he will be so smitten with his prowess that he ceases battling.
