[bakarinaknowsbest]

Vol 14 is out.

[samtamdan]

[logo-comics]

Pairing: Maria x Catarina

Title: Ready

This time, Maria had planned for every possible eventuality. Raphael had been bribed to distract Sophia. Mary had been tricked into going to watch a concert with Alan. Geordo was waiting at another building entirely due to some well-placed lies. Nicol was busy spying on Sophia and Raphael. Even Sora had agreed to distract their coworkers so she could manage this one.

She was going to confess her feelings in their entirety with no possible sources of confusion.

...Was Katarina approaching her with blushing cheeks and a bundle of roses?

The hamefura otome game is such a tease because although I know in the actual light novels Nicol and Catarina have the least likeliest chance of getting together, the otome game just made me realize how perfect those two are with each other that I’m so mad I’ll never get to see them post route. Not to mention, them having the least likeliest chance of getting together in the light novels/anime is a major reason it was SO good in the game, Nicol’s inner turmoil about betraying his best friend was handled so so so well in the game. We hardly ever get to see Nicol’s point of view in the LN/anime, and he’s reduced a lot more to the ‘silent ad mysterious’ type when he has SO much personality and care for Catarina outside of him being appreciative that she’s Sophia’s friend.

What makes it a major teases though, is you can tell that when Nicol starts opening up to Catarina at the end of the route and especially in the final perfect route story. He’s very cheeky and mischievous, and I want more of that. But the only way we get more of that is if Catarina gets with him and he’s starts breaking out of his shell. Which will never happen in the anime/ln. AGHHHH when I tell you Nicol by far has the best route in pirates of the disturbance I mean it. His bad endings sucked compared to jeord’s, but his good endings were so fucking good it made me appreciate him so much more because of it. I always liked him before but he literally became my favorite LI because of the game.

There’s so much I want to draw but I promise myself one day I’m gonna make some Nicol x Catarina art… they honestly might even be my otp

My (ANIME ONLY!!!! NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!) HameFura Ships essentially go: 

Catarina X Maria -- I mean Maria was meant to be the Main Character at the centre of the Harem until Catarina showed up and blew that all away! She makes Catarina’s heart skip a beat, and Catarina gives her the motivation to pursue her dreams! 

Catarina X Sophia -- SOULMATES. They are LITERALLY soulmates. If Atsuko could not be with “Catarina” in the previous life because of that life being cut short, she DESERVES to be with her in this one! Plus they’re just totally sweet together in general, and bring out the good in one another! I would like it if Sophia stopped trying to set her up with Nicole though. I mean I GET IT, if Catarina marries her brother than they can spend more time together etc. but it’s still weird. 

Alan X Catarina X Mary -- I think once Mary learns to chill and to share nicely, she and Catarina could have a really good relationship! But I think that would involve having a more cool minded presence in the form of Alan involved. Mary and Alan are already engaged, and so I think they could form a really solid friendship that would be nicely added to with Catarina! 

Meanwhile Catarina gets TWO partners who love and adore her, and can shower her with sweets! She definitely has a lot of fun with the pair, and I could see lots of smiles in their future! 

Geordo X Keith -- I mean I wouldn’t say that I have anything against Geordo X Catarina PER SAY, but she has dropped MANY hints that she wants the engagement called off and does not want to be a Princess. But Geordo refuses to end it!!!! Which is not great behaviour IMO. Meanwhile Keith is Catarina’s BROTHER! Adopted yes. Fell in love before their siblinghood was established. Maybe by a few hours. BUT THEY’RE STILL SIBLINGS!!!!! So h needs to just... back off. 

Meanwhile him and Geordo have so many hot tempered verbal sparing matches, they’re certainly on a similar wave length and I think that if they just kisses it would solve a lot of problems and teach them something about themselves. 

And you KNOW that Catarina would be supportive of them!!!! 

My “Pair the Spare” brain provides me with Nicole X Raphael and I think they could definitely make it work. They’re both the quiet and studious type, so I imagine they’d have a lot of fun just sitting quietly in a room reading together. I think they’d both encourage each other out of their shells a bit more, and become a bit of a socio-political power couple ^__^

But I’m only like, 20% invested in the ship, and would be happy to see them stay single or find someone else along the line! Whilst remaining friends with the rest of the Harem, of course!

I Know That We Haven't Reach An Ending Yet, But.....

I know usually in other Visual Novels/Manga/Anime we see protagonists go with the popular male lead, but in my opinion I think in this case there should be multiple endings involving who Katarina ends up with who. From all the build ups, it would be a shame not to. The characters relationship with Katarina are cute in their own way (despite the fact my own panromantic heart ships Maria/Katarina, but I still support others though). They all deserve a chance of a possible future.

Fray and Nicol

I haven’t read the novels so this is just my self-indulgent head canon based of the anime

Nicol is the type of person to find comfort in the presence of Fray, happy to finally be able to talk to someone else freely about Catarina without it being one of his friends (and sister) who is also in life with her.

He sees her more and more, but in doing so, he learns more about Fray and her life, and without realising, starts to spend more time with her than Catarina.

Sophia confronts him.

“It seems you have given up, my dearest brother.” Sophia sighs, cornering him in their home. Confused, Nicol tilts his head, eyebrows furrowed.

“Given up on what exactly?” Sophia’s eyes widened at his question, the shock cascading through her body.

Nicol glances at his watch. “I’m sorry, Sophia, I have to go. I have a lunch appointment with Lady Fray.” He’s gone before Sophia can even utter another word. And he left with a small, smile on his face.

Without realising it, Nicol had seemingly moved on, so much so, he had forgotten what his friendship with Fray had even started about. Sophia smiled softly. She couldn’t wait to see her brother happy again.

(and also to have less competition)

Hamefura ep 11

Awwwwww, the best moment for me in this episode :3

Waning, spoilers below

Finally, He kissed her

[logo-comics]

Pairing: Sophia/Acchan x Catarina

Title: It's you!

When ten year old Sophia Ascart falls faint in the library and remains unconscious for over a day, everyone is naturally alarmed, her friends and loved ones dropping everything to check in on her. When she awakens, looking surprised, yet recognizing everyone as she looks over their faces, many questions are to be had, particularly with the confused, shocked look she has upon seeing Katarina.

Upon hearing the words "villainess" and "Fortune Lover" muttered under Sophia's breath, however, the brunette manages to rush the others out of the room for a conversation.

...Why was that gleam in Sophia's eye looking so strangely familiar?

[goodbyenorthernlights]

[props chin in hands] Tell me about some Hamefura ships you like. I almost spelled ships as chips, so I think that was Catarina coming through.

Catarina's first priority WOULD be snacks, man. lbr Catarina x Snacks is going to be endgame no matter which Snack Provider wins out. God help the harem if she ever learns how to cook for herself.

Honestly I would love these kids to get together in a big ol' polycule. I have this AU idea in my head wherein Catarina marries Geordo, Mary marries Alan, Keith marries Sophia, and Nicol marries Maria, and then all eight of them buy one of those big-ass mansions Sorcier has a weird abundance of and just live together and a couple of non-Catarina pairs are also hooked up and they also all have a bunch of kids and servants and it's just a constant scene of loving domestic chaos.

Which, I mean, speaking of non-Catarina pairs- I really do believe that a lot of the cast has shipping potential even outside of Catarina. Alan x Mary, for example, is a no brainer- we know that in a scenario where Catarina isn't a viable love interest that Mary would fall for Alan, Mary's a moronsexual and Alan's a himbo, and Alan and Mary clearly care for each other even if Mary's laser-focused on Catarina in canon.

I also submit that Maria is compatible with pretty much everyone in the main cast in a similar way to how Catarina is, even if their approaches are different. I've seen suggestions that she would be good at making sure Rafael in specific gets some goddamn rest, which I would be quite happy to see.

(There's apparently another potential LI for Maria who hasn't been introduced yet, but I actually quite like what I hear of him.)

Also, Keith x Mary! This one might seem pretty odd, since I haven't seen it around much and in canon they fight over Katarina a LOT, but I get the sense that underneath that these two have this odd little... understanding? I think? Of each other. FOR EXAMPLE:

And from the Verge of Destruction spinoff:

...So I think the fact that they both dealt with similar hardships as kids means they have a good understanding of one another's lonely sides and clinginess, even as it leads them to fight over Catarina.

I also mentioned Keith x Sophia earlier? While that was partly a case of "how do we arrange the non-engaged pair in a way that doesn't involve incest and works with the fact that gay marriage doesn't seem to be a thing in Sorcier"* I can also see them getting on with one another. Keith's caretaker sort of personality is something I think Sophia would appreciate, and I think Keith would likewise enjoy Sophia's whimsical and enthusiastic side.

Honestly I could probably come up with more thoughts but these are some of the first to come to mind and this is getting a bit long so I'll just leave off here with- I do get the sense that when they're not fighting over Catarina (or even when they are, tbh, the whole "CATARINA MINE" "NO SHE MINE CATARINA" thing is just part of the way everyone bonds with one another) that the harem is actually a pretty tightly knit friend group in their own right, and I love seeing content that focuses on their relationships both platonic and non.

* I have Thoughts on how LGBT stuff is regarded in Sorcier.
