Happy Nagamas to @moonkisseddreamer !! Sorry this came a little late after Christmas;; but I hope you like it!! ^^

I took part in Nagamas (FE secret santa) this year and I chose the RathLyn prompt! I pretty much never draw shippy art so I hope this isn’t too tame (it’s all I can muster aahaaa) ;w; ---------------------------------- DEVIANTART INSTAGRAM TWITTER

“You’ve always had such beautiful hair, Lyn.”

I’m kinda curious on why you hate rath (it’s been 5 years since I played fe7 I honestly don’t remember anything about him)

I honestly don’t hate him. I’m just petty about RathLyn lmao…

…largely bc some dude once tried to shove a 20+ minute video on how RathLyn was the best OTP with great chemistry, but when I read that that support chain I just did not get that vibe at all??? I did write a more detailed thread about my gripes on the support on twitter here if you want me to be specific. Lyn deserves better than him lbr.

I guess the IDEA of Lyn being Sue’s mom is aesthetically pleasing (if not a little bit…race-pigeonholing bc “same ethnicity = gotta marry only each other” thing) and that paired ending is not bad? But that’s kinda shallow imo and I still don’t care for it at all.

Well I can finally do the RathLyn family in FEH, even if I’m betting Rath ends up super shafted lol

Remember when I said a while back that my next drawing of them was taking a while? Well, it's done now! This is the second silent film screenshot redraw I did, and while I like this better than the first one, I still am not a fan. It's Rath's hand, I only realized until too late that it's too small. But, well, at least I think I did a good job making the picture feel soft. I promised I'd provide more food for them but I think I'm cursed because every drawing I make of them except the Halloween picture turns out really blargh in my eyes. Will that deter me from continuing? Oh heck naw. The RathLyn community is starving and even two and half star food is still food. That said, hope it's to your liking! I'm hoping to make more of these in the future but as said in the previous post I need to do something about my tablet cord. Part 1 | [Part 2]

Hi! Long time no discussing the greenbeans here and I am trying to provide this ship with more regular food but the current art I'm doing of them is taking a while (haven't been doing it as regularly due to college taking priority) so here's some Lyn x Rath headcanons in the meantime:

One of their favorite shared pastimes is just gazing at the sky together. No matter the time of day, whether it's watching the clouds or the stars, they love to sit down and stare at the sky, sometimes making small talk, reveling in each others' presence and marveling at how vast and prismatic the sky can be. Neither really draw (at most Lyn's had some painting lessons in Caelin but she never got enough practice), but they wish they could to just capture all the skies they've seen, blue, silver, orange and red streaked in rose and gold, dark violet flecked with jewels, but the best skies they'll always have etched in their memories forever.

They also spend a lot of time together taking care of the horse, and after being shown enough kindness by her between being pet or her helping brush it or sneaking it an apple, the horse really likes Lyn a lot and perks up whenever she walks by. Once it was clear Lyn got along that well with his horse, Rath realized she was the one.

Lyn helped Rath learn to like rain and snow again after he spent so long dreading it due to living out in the wilderness for so long. Snow especially: when they were getting closer to the Black Fang's hideout and were camping out on in the snowy mountainside, she taught him how to have a snowball fight and while she had the early lead on him, he learned fast. There was no definite winner by the end but they both just had so much fun, and upon mutually collapsing side by side in the snow, for the first time she saw him actually truly smile (he's had light attempts at smiles that lasted about a second that were mostly for reassurance in the past, but emphasis on "attempts"). That was her own moment of going all "Oh shoot, I love this man."

Snow might be more special for them but they do like getting caught in the rain and running as fast as they can through the puddles and the downpour to get to shelter, or especially the feeling of cuddling up for warmth under the blankets while it's absolutely pouring outside and listening to the rain bounce off the roof and the walls.

Rath can listen to Lyn talk about her life in the Lorca tribe all day. At first it's because he can't remember what it's like to live with your tribe and he wants to culturally reconnect in any way he can, but he also knows how important her tribe was to her. He knows better than most what can happen if you're never able to talk with someone about your pain, and besides that, it's genuinely fascinating what she's able to teach him between customs and stories and everything in between. He also loves seeing how enthusiastic she can get about her culture, and her lengthy talks are equal parts bittersweet and heartwarming.

Post-game when they get married Lyn does feel sad that she's considered legally of the Kutolah in spite of being Lorca at heart, but Rath insists that he's legally a part of the Lorca, too, and with their union, as long as there's a Kutolah, there will always be a Lorca.

Sue basically acts as the solidifying factor of this idea as she's raised to understand both of her parents' cultures. They celebrate holidays of both Lorca and Kutolah cultures in the household and if they have the same holiday that's on a different date depending on the tribe, they celebrate it twice.

Speaking of Sue they absolutely dote on her like crazy. They never want any of the hardship that happened to either of them to ever happen to her so they constantly let her know how much they love her, either by telling her multiple times every day, teaching her to fight so she can survive the "rising of the dark star" Athos foretold, or wanting to learn more about her own interests. They're super proud of her deep connection with the spirits of nature and how, yeah, they're raising her well but she's also just genuinely a sweet, gentle person. This house is never short on hugs.

When he and Lyn found out they were going to be parents, Rath made a little plush fawn for their future child (even if it took him a few attempts to make something that, a. resembled a deer, and b. didn't fall apart after a week since prior he only really sewed for clothing maintenance), and Sue used to carry it everywhere with her when she was little. It's now really beat up but even during FE6's canon she still keeps it with her after Dayan's able to give it back to her in the Sacae Route. Similarly, Lyn started getting into whittling around the time the plush was made to stay preoccupied until Sue was born and she could go back to swordplay again, but she genuinely ended up enjoying the hobby so she kept at it after the fact and got pretty good at it over the years, so Sue has some of her mother's salvaged wooden figurines in her bag with the old fawn, too.

Even if Lyn starts out very iffy about Dayan, Dayan really respects Lyn and very much approves of her and his son being together. He's heard a bit about the whole Lundgren business in passing and after being told about the fight against Nergal admires her as a war hero. Not to mention she's normally a very warm person and can see how happy she makes Rath while he's still more withdrawn. (also headcanoning that Rath's mom is still alive until Zephiel's attack happens and she is sassy and as such likes that Lyn has a lot of fire in her and won't take sass lying down and will dish it right back if she needs to)

I CAN KEEP GOING

[ladyaster]

The RathLyn community doesn’t get much food so now I’m taking it upon myself to provide it. I hope you enjoy my humble offerings. XD

Night skies are fun to draw. ^w^ Hands are not. I think I spent two hours trying to get the hands right alone and then they still looked kinda weird and got covered by grass anyway. :(

Thank you for your time, hope you enjoy, and have a great day!

A doodle of some postgame early-morning shmoopies for Valentine’s Day.~

[ladyaster]

A small doodle I made the other day because I need to keep posting for this ship but I'm still working on the big piece-de-resistance (I just need to get more markers first because a bit of a hint it involves a color palette and a gold ink pen and the for the former my coloring markers are very old and the latter runs out way too fast and in general trying to make sure I get everything just right). If I like a thing enough I will make a Pokemon AU and it is inevitable.

Since the mons are a bit scattered across the piece, Lyn's mons here are Treecko, Skarmory, and Hisuian Zorua while Rath's are Rowlet, Mudsdale, and Rockruff (gonna become Midday Lycanroc so sadly it won't match with Zoroark :( ). I also like how the fandom unanimously agreed for Pokemon AUs of FE7 as a whole that Lyn gets a Treecko/Grovyle/Sceptile. She and Grovyle match a lot. I was originally also gonna give her an Electrike instead of a Zorua and then it'd be kinda cute because it kinda started making me think that in a different meta where they're just literally playing the games, Lyn started in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (I know Skarmory is Gen 2 but it'd still be obtainable in RSE) and Rath started in Sun/Moon which is oddly fitting. Oh well. The headcanon probably still stands and Zorua is just a new favorite of hers. ^_^

Should I color this one day? Please let me know.

[ladyaster]

Happy Halloween my friends and fellow greenbean enjoyers! Sorry I haven't posted any art for these two in a while, college this semester has been a doozy, but I've wanted to draw them dressed up as werewolves for the longest time. Have a good spookyday, everyone!

[jadesnapart]

i held an art raffle on twitter and the first winner wanted something with rath and lyn from fe7!
