Fire Emblem Awakening Supports are HILARIOUS.

---
Fire Emblem Awakening came at a time when I didn't have a 3DS, and even though over time on the channel I would continue to write about its characters, lore and story, there was one aspect that has always been underexplored relative to other games on the channel, like Blazing Sword and Path of Radiance: And that's this games supports. Awakening has so much character dialogue and I've always felt I've neglected to talk about the supports in this game. So a couple weeks ago, I set out to just start reading supports in the game and looking for ones I found particularly memorable, this eventually brought me to ask some Awakening fans what their favorite silly supports were. And upon inspection: I can confirm, this game is freaking hilarious. I mean, Every Fire Emblem game has funny character writing, its all part of why supports are awesome. But today I wanted to focus on 4 particular supports that I found especially memorable and funny. Lately I've felt the itch to return to writing about character interactions over mechanics, and so, here we are.

Check out Food Devils on Kickstarter! Support our good friend Alfred Kamon!

Awakening was my first Fire Emblem and the humor was one of the biggest parts that won me over. Anything with Maribelle was gold!

Maribelle: "Lon'qu! Just what do you think you were doing in that last battle?"

Lon'qu: "Stabbing people."

Awakening has some of the most fun supports especially when Gregor is involved. He's a whole dlc story himself

[kylescott]

Oh my god. Tiki was literally about to “Eat The Rich” 😂

[austinolivas]

The Inigo/Owain support where they genuinely don’t like each other and have to grow and learn to be friends makes their Fates support where Odin is Laslow’s rock as Laslow struggles with the feeling that he is losing what made him Inigo and all the memories of his past life much more powerful. They still bicker and tease each other, but it is out of love instead of disdain.

[Whirlwhind]

An Awakening support that I think is really overlooked is Male Robin with Laurent. The two of them bond over magic tomes that are useless in combat, but entertaining in their own right.

[lafolleauxmostisma]

To go with the Inigo Owain support, if you check Laslow damaged sprite(?) in FEH, his sword has something written on it which is probably a reference to that support!

[Ultimabuster]

Farming supports while listening to the "Conquest" OST is the most precious memory i have of this game. This game made me WANT to farm the supports, and i have done so for DAYS. These characters inspired me to write, that's the impact these characters had on me. I love Three Houses like almost no other game, but Awakening made me want to pursue my, today, favourite hobby, no book, no movie, no real life experience achieved that, no, it was this game. It holds a very special place in my heart and always will.

[ShinyKyu]

One of my favorites is Lucina’s sibling supports. In my playthrough, it was Morgan cutting fruit with Falchion and the two of them screaming because of a cockroach in the tent.

[Typical_Tyeus]

Please please PLEASE make a follow up. Awakening gets so much undeserved hate for it's gameplay that people have forgotten how great it's characters were.

[Harrier]

Inigo and Gerome

...

"I WANT TO BE MANHANDLED!"

That is all.

[Arkholt]

I think my favorite is the Cordelia x Kellam support. Of course everyone knows the Kellam gimmick is that he's invisible, but rather than see that as a bad thing, Cordelia sees it as a strength and asks him to teach her how to be stealthier. It's kind of funny while also being very sweet.

[gameboy]

Any support that mentions Sully's horse gets a solid A tier from me. That horse was it's own character in some supports that Sully isn't even in.

[connormcnulty]

I’m sorry, Chrom lost that cooking competition. If you almost kill a judge in a competition, that gets you disbarred.

[silvercassidy]

when you started to talk about cooking I thought to myself "why is he talking about food so much. Weird, it reminds me of Alfred's new game" - didn't expect the transition to an actual sponsorship lol

[dracotias]

Henry, just EVERYTHING Henry is soooo good since it's the perfect blend of humour and realisations of WHY he uses so much humour.

He's far from the only tragic dark mage in the series sure but he is the one who sticks most with me.

His whole thing with Nowi of like "its simple we just make more dragons so you don't have to be alone, boom problem solved!" But he's so enthusiastic about it because he knows exactly what being alone is like.

[hectorlackless]

Sometimes I forget Tiki has that divine punishment energy in her

[TacticianGeek]

Another funny support that kind of ties into one of the ones in this video is Maribelle/Olivia. Maribelle takes it upon herself to be Olivia's life coach and help her develop more of a back bone. Unfortunately she doesn't actually know how to do that so she consults a trashy self-help book popular among Ylissean noblemen that recommends flirting with women as a way to boost confidence. They try this out and get yelled at by Chrom for damaging the army's reputation. The real funny part of this is when you realize, combining this with Olivia's support with Inigo, this is where Inigo got the inspiration for his philosophy. Essentially, Inigo being an irredeemable flirt is all Maribelle's fault.

And not quite a support but I have to give a shoutout to Cynthia's recruitment conversation with Chrom if he's her father. "Pega-Pony Princess" is top tier.

[ivanbluecool]

Cynthia supports are hilarious especially when it's confirmed she has CAKE

Laurent probably has repressed issues since he wants to be yelled at. Sat on and such. Man of culture

The kid supports are honestly heart breaking when some of them know that they'll be replaced by the og kids someday. Imagine your world being destoryed and living in one you are basically a stranger in.

Tharja are very good. Especially when she's trying to play extra mean when she's helpful and how scary a hex family is so she did right by niore and Morgan.

[sunkeyavad]

I feel like Owain's supports would have benefitted greatly from having voice acting. Just listen to him talk in FE Warriors and see how well that gets his antics across.
