I just read a fav pairing thread in the serenesforest forums. It was lulz-worthy. More than 20 pages about Ike/Elincia vs. Geoffrey/Elincia. It was so ridiculous and funny and I had to stop reading twice to catch my breath after laughing to much. No, really. The theories of the Ike/Elincia shippers were so batshit and pulled directly out of somebody´s ass that I can't even. Every time I read one of their post my mind went "OMG, Elincia is such a horrible person!" , then the more sane people "Ah, Elincia is not so bad after all", then again "God, she is such a bitch!". It was... god, it was so funny.

Now, I don't want to say that Ike/Elincia is not a valid pairing. I don't like it and I see no evidence for a relationship. I do see her crush in FE9. I do not see anything coming from Ike that may indicate any special feelings. He almost treats her the same way he treats Mist. Then in FE10 Elincia and Ike barely interact. And that is a sign for their twu wuv? THEY HAVE A SECRET RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FE9 AND FE10 AND DURING 10? AND ELINCIA WOULD LEAVE CRIMEA A FEW MONTHS AFTER ASHERA'S DEATH TO FOLLOW IKE? Really, this and the fanfic this person had written made me lose all respect for Elincia. Really. And the icing on the cake? They suggested that Elincia would cheat on Geoffrey and have a secret affair with Ike? I admit that I thought about that once as well (Just the other way around; married to Ike, cheating with Geoffrey). I have no problem admiting that but I noticed that this is OUT OF CHARACTER for Elincia. She has grown in RD. FE9!Elincia would probably consent to a forced marriage and may be seduced by her love. But not ass-kicking, a-spine-having FE10!Elincia. So why turn her into a spineless, cheating person? Why undo the events in RD part 2? If Elincia just gives up her kingdom a few months after Ashera's death, then Lucia´s sacrifice (or attempted sacrifice) and the lesson Elincia learned, were COMPLETELY SUPERFLUOUS! Do not undo her character development.
And just for the record; Elincia is not a price that any male character "deserves". She herself decided who she wants to marry. I mean, if you don't get the Geoffrey/Elincia A support they don't marry anyway! So she either takes Geoffrey or RandomMan#7 as husband. And no, she would not marry Geoffrey for political reasons if she doesn't love him. Ass-kicking FE10!Elincia has a spine and would never want to hurt Geoffrey like that. Either she marries him because she loves him or she doesn't marry. I can't believe that they think that FE10!Elincia is such a disgusting person.

Also; GEOFFREY IS NOT A PANSY! Why is the sentence "What's the point of living without you?!" the sign for him being a pansy? CONTEXT MATTERS! It's his reaction to Elincia's DEATH! Of course he will be distressed. He loves her. His feelings will overwhelm him! I think that is a clear sign of his love. Ike's reaction to her death? "Elincia! Open your eyes, Elincia!", don't see any special feelings here, but if someone does, it won't argue it. It is a valid opinion.
"Elincia: Ugh...aaah... Sorry... I... I'm...
Ike: Elincia! You don't have to do this! Just get out of here!
Elincia: My noble Ike... All...your plans...
Ike: Don't speak. Leave it all to me. You use all your strength to make sure that you survive. Do it for the people of Crimea.
Elincia: All right, Sir Ike. ...I know you can do it. I'll be waiting." Jupp, I so can feel the strong romantic feelings. But, if people can see it, then it's a valid opinion. But do not try to force other people to see it as well. Besides, basing a pairing on death quotes is stupid anyway.

It was still mostly funny to read that :D It was so much fun how the other people ripped their theories apart and they still thought that everyone else was wrong. Delusional people can be so much fun.
