#the focus on chivalry and Intense Masculine Bonds sure....... has an effect

I feel like I need to make a fucking chart for how the Blue Lions Polycule works in my head…

But that would be too much work so I guess I'm just posting a list.

Dedue

Monogamous, married to Dimitri (emotionally and spiritually if not legally)

Understands Dimitri is poly tho, is okay with this. Legitimately is not jealous or threatened by Dimitri's other romantic feelings elsewhere.

Platonic besties with Ashe, Annette, and Mercedes

Dimitri

Married to Dedue (emotionally and spiritually if not legally), primary partner, Would Not Be Okay if they were separated (seriously, This Is A Set, Do Not Separate).

Deep romantic affection towards Felix since they were itty bitty

First crush was Glenn, oh boy that makes things extra complicated

Purely platonic with Sylvain and Ingrid (and the other Lions tbh)

Probably did hook up with Sylvain one time but it was weird so they decided never to speak of it again

Felix

Ace but not aro, VERY low libido, only interested in sex if the planets align correctly and extremely easy to turn back off even in that case

It's Complicated with Dimitri (romantic affection since they were itty bitty, Complicated Feelings Abound, painfully jealous of Dedue but won't admit it)

Romantic relationships with both Sylvain and Annette

The one with Sylvain is Intensely Weird, the one with Annette is wholesome AF.

Sylvain

Incredibly weird and intense romantic relationship with Felix (he has Faerghus Gender Hangups)

Also in a serious relationship with Ingrid, somehow (it's D/s, he subs)

He's incredibly demi and is not romantically attracted to anyone who's not his childhood friend

Dimitri would be weird tho, tried it once, it was weird, never again

Ingrid

Serious relationship with Sylvain, no she doesn't know how that happened either

(it's because she is demiromantic and only emotionally attracted to Deeply Enmeshed Old Friends but Felix and Dimitri would be weird so that leaves Sylvain) (She doms him) (it's REALLY kinky) (They're both really into it)

Otherwise attracted to women but in a ‘Chivalrous Knight who then gets topped by beautiful women’ kind of way (she is a pillow princess when hooking up with women) (it's the sexual repression)

Casual sexual relationship with Mercedes (and also Dorothea if she's around)

Mercedes

Aromantic, she is married to the church

Bisexual tho with a female lean, casual sexual relationship with Ingrid (and also if she's around, more intense relationship with Constance)

Bambi lesbian queerplatonic cuddlemance with Annette

Platonic besties with Dedue

Annette

Primary partner is Felix

Queerplatonic cuddlemance with Mercedes

She would also be willing to hook up with Ingrid except they both bottom with other women so it never works out

Also platonic besties with Dedue

Ashe

He's there but not actually dating anyone else in the polycule

Little crush on Dedue and Ingrid but because they are Ideal Knights, no actual desire to act on this

Cat Dads with Caspar who is otherwise not even part of this polycule
