you know i gotta ask about my man gaius 🍭

hi evaaaa :)

How I feel about this character

dude i fucking killed this guy on my first awakening run 😭 but i didnt REALIZE i killed him until like. the gangrel chapter??? and i got so sad when i realized i did i reset the whole game to go back and get him. hes a fav i wouldnt have done that for just anyone! (i know this bc i also forgot kellam. didnt go back for him… i mean i got him when i reset but i didnt reset for him) so yeah i like him :) i dont have any complex thoughts on him but he makes me laugh when hes on screen so

All the people I ship romantically with this character

the first fire emblem ship i ever had that STUCK with me was asugi and caeldori in birthright (yes i had to pair their parents to get them but. i didnt like those ships very much 😭) so when i played awakening i saw the og asugi and caeldori and i was like HOOLYYY SHIT and well. so gaius/cordelia my fav forever :3 but i like gaius with like. half of the shepherds honestly. in no particular order i like him with chrom, robin, lissa, olivia, tharja, libra, lon’qu, stahl, panne, and maribelle :) hes got chemistry with everyone what can i say

Non-romantic OTP for this character

i rly like chromgai yaoi but i also love them just as besties forever. chrom needs a friend that will humble him and literally no one else seems to want to step up to the task!!!! get him gaius. also in terms of family dynamic i just… i REALLY love gaius!severa i think he works SOOO well as her dad. their future past convo is so cute and they just… GODDDD THAT IS HIS DAUGHTERRRR 😭

Unpopular opinion about this character

im not sure i have one? i guess i dont particularly like his hair on inigo, noire, or cynthia… those three seem to be popular kids for him but i just… i cant… theyre so… ugly….

One thing I wish happened

bigger story role at least in his join chapter. like i said i think chrom needs to be humbled more and who else to do it but gaius. granted its hard to make optional characters work in the main story but i think there was potential there to set up a contrast between him and frederick. they also couldve done that with robin but they gave up the fredrobin beef plotline pretty fast so… hey. what about this pretty ginger man chrom also lets in with zero hesitation… hmmm?????
