#claude matchup

[light-of-valentia]

matchup trade with edelgoth

 @edelgoth​ here are your matchups boo!! I have never done a written matchup before, though I have done them quite a lot in my head, so I hope these are good!!! -admin belle

I did two romantic matchups, one romantic/platonic, and I left a list of potential platonic matchups to follow!

matchup under the cut because I use a lot of words and I don’t wanna eat up dashboards

#1-  Mercedes

At first I was sort of questioning on if this would be ideal, but with the more I have thought about this, the more passionate I am about this pairing

You said you wanted someone who is open-minded and genuinely caring who wants to see the world become a better place, and I would struggle to think of anyone better to do this with than Mercie!

Though I did consider Claude for this as well, I ended up choosing Mercedes for #1 because I think that she would be better at consistently giving you the validation and affection that you desire

Not that Claude would not be affectionate as well, but I think that the stronger caring aura that she has would sit better with you

Both of you are open-minded and thoughtful, and you would be able to give e/o the same level of care and attention that you give out to other people

That's positive karma baby!!! you both deserve a lot for what you do for other people, and your philanthropic personalities would be a strong force together

I feel like in a relationship, both you and Mercedes would need someone who is willing and most importantly wants to give back the same level of appreciation and effort that you/she puts in, and you both would far surpass this standard for each other

I also really like here that you each take a different approach to what you do

Mercedes deals more in the emotional side of taking care of people, whereas you take the more insightful and analytical route

This sort of “similar yet different” style of partnership works really well since you have enough in common to form a partnership, but your differing skills would compensate for what the other lacks in

You each care in different ways, but it's clear that both you and Mercie share a common goal of making the world a better place and helping people out

You would be such a sweet, caring, and cheerful couple, and even without doing any sort of philanthropic work, just your presence would be enough to potentially change people’s lives for the better

Your wit and intellect would provide a healthy contrast to Mercedes' constant benevolence and optimism, and she would be able to help you ground yourself when you are catastrophizing and anxious

To compliment that, you would be able to help her set her fear of disappointing others aside and make hard choices when she needs to

Mercedes isn't necessarily as scholarly as Annette and Linhardt (though she did enjoy her time at the Royal Academy of Magic), but she still values her education, and she would enjoy listening to you talk about the things you are interested in and she would enjoy learning from you

Both of you are very patient, and it would provide a relaxing and calm atmosphere

Though, a problem could be presented if you are both too patient- neither of you alone likes to make difficult decisions and risk hurting or disappointing others, but i think that this would be easier to do if you worked together

Magic and fantastical stories!! i could really see you both taking evening dates and telling each other stories, and she would highly appreciate your creativity and encourage your passion for what you do

If you like writing paranormal and ghost stories, she’d love it even more!! She loves spooky stories and an air of fantastical mystery

Career-wise, your interests in anthropology and sociolinguistics combined with her desire to serve and help people would make a dynamic duo

Your understanding of human history and nature would provide a wealth of foundation for her to understand where people come to her from, emotionally and culturally, and the outcome of your combined careers would be stellar!

If you guys got together, I would struggle seeing an outcome where you kept your careers separate- the chemistry you have together concerning your desires for life and the word around you are too magnetic too keep apart

Mercedes would be very welcoming and accepting of your sensitivity and anxiety; she always knows what to say if you're down, and she wouldn't have to tread carefully to avoid offending or hurting you

Awareness of people's sensitivities and how to build healthy relationships without prying at them is second nature to her

Reading people and responding to them to meet them where they are is maybe one of her favorite things to do in life, and doing this with you would bring her a good sense of worth in life

Mercedes has a few opinions of her own, but she is generally soft-spoken and passive, and would be a great listener for when you talk about your opinions

She is very open-minded, and i’d argue that she doesn’t have a single judgemental bone in her body (well, except maybe against uptight nobles cough cough LORENZ)

I wouldn’t call her an agent of chaos, but I think that Mercedes really can appreciate the craziness of life the way that you do, and that she would be great at laughing the silly little things off with you

She has a wonderful knack for appreciating and accepting the world as it is, and I think that this would bring you a lot of peace when you start to over-complicate things mentally, as she would be able to ground you

She would ADORE your curiosity and interest in learning everything that you can, and she would aspire to be this way herself

She spent so much of her life simply trying to survive, especially after fleeing the empire and regretting leaving Emile behind, and having someone around her who is trying to thrive would be invigorating for her

MBTI-wise, this would be a “golden pair”, as IXFJ and XNTP are often listed as being such, especially IXFJ and ENTP, which if I had to type you by your description to me, I’d put you as ENTP over INTP, with an Fi/Fe subtype

The creativity that comes with your Ne would be very well recieved by Mercedes’ Fe, as she would be the perfect listener for everything you have to say, and she would be super interested in it as well!

Though she does use Ti as her tool function, she would be constantly amazed by how you use it so fluently

Her Ti tertiary tool would be able to appreciate your dominant/auxiliary Ti, without encouraging it to the point where you overwhelm yourself

In conclusion, I see you and Mercedes both as a sweet and soft couple but also with the subtleties of a power couple, and I think you would enjoy a long and happy relationship with each other!

2. Claude

As previously mentioned, I still view Mercedes as a more ideal match for you, but I think that you and Claude would have good chemistry as well

He has a lot of that humanistic personality that Mercedes has, but his is far more subtle and jaded from his history

Mainly, this jaded aspect comes from how he was treated in his childhood, although he doesn’t discuss it with just anyone, as one of those effects from being bullied as a kid is him having some serious trust issues

Pre-timeskip Claude would be a struggle in a romantic relationship, as his Fe isn’t very well developed and based on your profile, I think a partner with developed Fe is something you need

Post-timeskip, however, this problem would be eliminated, as by then, his Fe has very clearly developed a lot more (though it is still flawed), as demonstrated with his love-hate relationship for humanity in his A support; he hates the way that people choose to be discriminatory and mean towards each other, but he also sees the possibility for redemption and he has a genuine desire to work harmony back into the world

Some of his interactions with characters such as Cyril and occasionally Hilda show that his Fe even post-timeskip isn’t quite fully developed, but he does value the function, thus displaying a necessary element for compatibility

xNTP-ENTP couples do work out really well, but obviously, some compromises have to be made

Mainly in regards to extraversion/making sure everyone gets to talk enough, and taking care of real-world responsibilities like housework and chores

Both of you are incredibly passionate about what you do, and this would sit well with the other

I struggle to imagine Claude in the long-run with anyone who doesn’t hold a sort of fire in their heart

Your intense curiosity and desire to learn would match his own really well, and I could see you guys doing long dates where you take the full day to sit down in the library and dissect some idea that you had

Your interest in anthropology and sociolinguistics might be one of the best parts of this match! His life goal is to create a more united world, and your wealth of knowledge about history and culture would make having you around an invaluable asset for him

Just like he does with Byleth in the game, he’ll probably pick you up at first for your usefulness, but then he’ll slowly start to actually trust you and he’ll find himself desiring a relationship with you

Both of you would be the king and queen of meme, and it’d be a wonderful sight to anyone around you

Your interactions when you’re memeing would be absolutely off the shits, and your absurdist senses of humor setting off sparks with each other would be legendary to behold

He would adore these interactions with you, and the memories he has of them would be a treasure he keeps close

He can’t stand super uptight people, and you’re fairly laid-back yourself, so this is perfect in this sense

You both have a good sense of when it’s the right time to be carefree and when it’s the right time to take note, though

Although this ratio may seem more skewed towards the laid-back aspect in the perception of people like Lorenz and Lysithea, for you two, it’d be perfect

Normally with an ExxP/ExxP couple, I worry a lot about communication, but I think you two would be better off than most in this aspect

The fact that you have an extraverted side but are also a good listener is the saving grace here

Claude is a listener as well, but more often than not, he has something running in the back of his mind, so while he would be a good listener, he may not be as attentive as you’d like

He would feel bad about this, but as hard as he tries to always listen to you, sometimes he can’t help but letting his mind float back to whatever scheme he’s been plotting

If you’re ok with this, though, the road will be less bumpy- he might even appreciate it if your own mind drifts when he’s talking to you, as he would feel less guilty that way

He would try his best to help you when you are catastrophizing, but it would be a mixed bag of skittles for him

On the positive, he overthinks a lot himself, so he fully understands how you got to where you are

On the negative, he isn’t a very emotional person himself, so he has seldom reached catastrophization himself, so he doesn’t really know the best ways to handle it

He eventually learns what works and what doesn’t, but at first, it’s gonna be the effort that counts

Both of you are giant nerds and this would work rather well

He would love roleplaying and playing games with you given the free time, and you’d always be recommending books to each other to read

As for your sensitivity, Claude may not be the best at handling that, but he certainly tries

He’s generally pretty good at reading people, but with what upsets you, you may have to tell him a bit more directly for him to really understand so that he can avoid it

Claude would, though, be a boo in that he’d make you feel like the queen of the whole damned world

Insecurity??? Nah, you’re too cute/smart/amazing for that

He just loves to shower you in teases and he’d tell you every day that he loves you

If you want a flirt and a himbo, congrats you’ve found one

One other thing that makes me less confident about this pairing than the former is that Claude is a bit more free-spirited than you

He would do his best to anchor himself to you, but it’d be difficult to satisfy his wanderlust if you dislike travel- he doesn’t want to leave you, and he hates making you feel bad

To conclude, I think this has a lot of powerful potential, but it also has a few potential holes that make it somewhat less ideal

He needs someone that can teach him to value his own emotions and not just look at what everyone else wants, and I don’t know if you’d be able to reach him on that

3. Dorothea

Both of you have a lot of opinions, but you’re both careful about sharing them

I could see her as your kickass partner in crime

I am less passionate about this pairing than I am with your matches with Mercie and Claude, but I still think this has a lot of potential as well

Yyou would be able to teach the other how to appreciate the other!!

Lots of "you're pretty/no you" style interactions

Idk how else to explain this but your vibes synergize well???? Like both of you are very humanistic, but you're a bit more open and direct in your approach with it than she is

Both of you are highly creative but in different ways and this would work well

I think she would be like a muse figure for you and vice versa!

Both of you are into classical arts, which is grounds for a lot of fun dates and fun times

I can envision a lot of museum and opera dates

 and painting dates

 Y'all would just have so much fun being creative together

You both have a preppy side, but you'd be the nerd of the two, and she would poke playful fun at you whilst harboring an interest in everything you have to say

Both of you are very thoughtful and you'd find satisfaction in having someone who reciprocates the amount of effort you put into the relationship

Both of you have an enjoyment of fashion, and i could see you both having a fun time picking each other's outfits out and doing the other's hair and makeup

She would really like to flirt with you to try and get a reaction out of you

She would HIGHLY appreciate that you try hard to be an open-minded and understanding person

She wishes she had more of those in her life before she met you

Y'all would be such meme queens like...everyone else would label you guys as goals in terms of keeping a healthy air of humor around you

She is just so doting and passionate with you and she would try so hard every day to melt away your insecurities and worries

As a couple you guys have SO much chemistry; like once you guys sit down for tea and start talking, you find yourselves talking for hours, and Dorothea would fall more in love with your intellect and wealth of knowledge each day

The reason I still put this as lower than Claude and Mercedes is because I feel like it might be more one-sided, with Dorothea more attracted to you than you might be to her

I feel like she would be able to help you with your anxiety in a different way than Mercedes

Like she has gone through a lot of similar stuff with her past in its relationship to her self-esteem, and you'd both have a lot to learn from e/o here

This would work either romantically or platonically

For friendships, I’d consider: Ashe, Annette, Hilda, Ignatz, Marianne, and Bernadetta!

Feel free ofc to respond to me with any thoughts/questions you have on this, and I hope you liked it!! Sorry to keep you waiting for so long- I wanted to ensure quality on this

matchup trade with princessofalmyra

@princessofalmyra here you go!! thank you for offering to do this, i really appreciate it!! also reading your profile was Wild we have a lot in common fkljfdlkjdf

i decided to go with two romantic matchups and one platonic one!! <3 these got really long so i’ve just stuck it all under the cut 

so, romantically, i match you with...

claude!!

i think claude would be a fantastic fit for you, both platonically and romantically!! but i think he’s the person you’d be most compatible with in three houses, so i’ll gear this matchup to be romantic 

firstly, i think he hits a lot of the same beats as your ideal partner! he’s a very intelligent, insightful person, and i think you two’d be on the same wavelength there  

he’s definitely intelligent enough to keep up with you, and i think it would be possible for him to keep you on your toes? 

and, while it’s not as obvious as his other traits, claude is very patient; hell, just the fact that he’s slowly plodding towards his goals through the entire game without showing any signs of annoyance or impatience is a pretty good argument for that

and claude’s definitely the type of person who would be honest with you, and would call you out whenever you wrote yourself of. basically? i kind of think he’s the perfect man! 

i think he would be quite drawn to you because of the initial vibe you give off; you’re smart, which is a positive in his book, but you’re also quiet enough that he’d presume you had secrets. and finding out secrets is kind of his thing

and to his delight, it’s not necessarily secrets he discovers, but a mind that can keep up with his. and really, he thinks it’s silly that he even suspected you even had secrets in the first place for how 

and i think he’d really love the fact that you’re both complex and an open book!! he’s, of course, very secretive, but i think he’d admire your approach; it’s something very refreshing for him, after a life spent protecting himself from the duplicity of people’s words and their intentions 

i think you have a lot similarities, but good ones!! the sort of similarities that mean you’d feel like kindred spirits!! 

for one, you’re both agents of chaos; i can see the two of you getting up to all sorts of antics, and having some of the best inside jokes and memes. claude would absolutely send you a harem of memes and cursed images for airdropping purposes 

but you also have an intellectual compatibility! you’re both very intelligent, and i think that would help keep things interesting between you.

the most analytical couple about, tbh,,, you guys are always analyzing something, and you always have something interesting to talk about. 

admittedly, i think overthinking is problem you both run into. but, the potential positive is that you’d probably be able to identify that behaviour in each other quite well; meaning you can hopefully break the more overwhelming thought patterns 

and on a more shallow level, you guys would be a very stylish couple? like you both have The Best Aesthetic (your fashion sense sounds I N C R E D I B L E btw), and you’d be very visually striking! 

but for all your similarities, i think there is also an important balance between the two of you.

for one, i think you’re a lot more gentle and sensitive than him. i think claude seems like the sort of person who can distance himself from the emotionality of a situation (idk if i explained that well, but i think a good example is how he uses cyril as an example of an almyran in his speech to the golden deer, even though cyril is uncomfortable with it) 

so, having you around would help ground him a bit in that regard, i think; your thoughtful and caring nature would help ground a lot of his ideals, if that makes sense? he’s already quite humanistic imo, but he’s not that tert-fe approach that’s a little distant; and i kind of feel like your worldview would help instill compassion into his own approach (i have no idea if this paragraph makes sense i am so sorry)

i think claude is the type of person who would always be reminding you of your own worth; while he admires how much you do for others, and that you tend to put their needs before your own, he’s always quick to remind you to take care of yourself every once in a while. but he’s never pushy or preachy; he always finds clever little ways of expressing that concern to you. 

he would love how passionate you are!! he’s very focused on his own dreams, but i think he tends to hold back how passionate he is about them in favour of a more laidback persona. so, i think he’d really enjoy seeing the passion you brought to things!!

because he’s a nerd tm he’d probably stay up in the library with you when you get really into your readings; he’d probably ask a lot of questions (and get really annoying about it), but it’s just because he wants to share in your interests!!

and i think he’d also love hearing any facet of your inner world you had to share! he’d find it all very fascinating, and he’d appreciate the insight it would give him . and honestly, since he’s so well-read, analytical and observant himself, it would surprise me if he didn’t have his own rich inner world tbh. 

you’re both quite insightful and introspective, and i think that could foster a good amount of understanding between the two of you; and i think that can be very important!! especially because i think he might be able to help you put words to the abstract 

i think claude’s a good person to turn to when you’re doubting yourself. once claude trusts someone, he puts their upmost faith in them; his unshakable belief in you and the things you’re capable of could serve as a tether during those depressive episodes. and while he may not be the best with expressing his true feelings in words, i’m convinced that he’d do all he can to support you and let you know you’re valued. 

absolutely a battle of wills when you get stubborn though. those would certainly make for some interesting moments in your relationship. but i feel like claude would actually kind of enjoy the challenge and difference in perspectives that could bring; which is a very entp thing if you ask me alkjfsdljsdkjl

he absolutely teases you for having your head up in the clouds. he boops your nose whenever you seem to be daydreaming, and always asks you what you were thinking. half the time, he guesses that you were thinking about him

i can also see him teasing you for being too trusting, but that comes from a place of concern. claude isn’t the type who likes to lecture or to tell you what to do; just like when he wants to you look after yourself for a change, he’ll find subtler ways to let you know that he’s worried about you. 

i think claude would really appreciate the fact that you were trustworthy. he can struggle a bit with sincerely opening up to people, and he has a tendency to mistrust others. knowing that he can rely on you, and that you keep your promises, would be a big thing for him! 

finally, i think a lot of your interests overlap!! you both enjoy reading (and i can see you guys sharing books with each other), i can see him being into psychology and character analysis, and i can absolutely see you guys people-watching, trying to figure out who they are and their histories. and, of course, memes,,, never forget the memes 

just a note: you’re also quite compatible when it comes to mbti types! claude, as a ne-dominant, would be a good balance for you (regardless of whether your a ni or si user!) furthermore, i think that ti-users (and i say this as a strong ti user myself) can get so analytical that they can tire other people out. but put two strong ti users together? it’s gold. 

the last thing i wanted to add is more of a vibe that i get from claude, and i’m not sure if it’s entirely textual; your point about trying to be optimistic, while actually struggling with being quite pessimistic and borderline nihilistic (which MOOD holy hell) is something that i feel claude would struggle with too? because he’s got a well-crafted mask that he puts out to the world, i think he hides a lot of the things that he struggles with; and for all his talk of friendship and the future, i think he has a hard time reconciling that with the things that he’s seen and the things he’s dealing with. so, i think having someone who understood what that was like could bring an invaluable comfort. but that’s more or less a headcanon adslkjflkfjd

all in all, i just think you and claude are very compatible as people, and you would work wonderfully as a couple!! 

(the next two are gonna be shorter bc i didn’t want to keep you waiting, but i hope that’s okay!!) 

i also match you with...

ashe!!

admittedly, i’m a little less passionate about this matchup (but honestly, i don’t think anything can quite top claude, and he can bring a better intellectual rapport to the table), but i think ashe is also quite a good match for you!!

i think he can fit your profile of an ideal partner quite well, as he’s insightful in his own way, and he also seems to have a rich inner world. he’s also the sort to encourage you to consider your own feelings, because they’re important too. 

on the whole, ashe is a lot softer than claude, and i think that would be a key difference in your relationship. ashe is more obviously fond, and he’s not afraid of expressing how he feels. 

i also think that ashe would be more mindful of you neglecting tasks that aren’t connected to what you’re hyper-focusing on, and is more likely to voice his concerns directly to you. but in general, i think he’s just very kind and attentive, and would always be looking out for your wellbeing! 

you’re both very sweet and caring, and i think that’s a lovely thing you’d bring into your relationship with one another!! 

i said earlier that he’s very obviously fond, and i think that fondness would permeate your entire relationship; you’re both gentle, and i think you both share that sensitivity and emotionality! 

i think you’d also be very thoughtful with each other, and that can be a very beautiful thing; ashe is delighted to know that you always have his back, and he’s always taking care of you (this boy definitely has ‘acts of service’ as one of his love languages hhhhhh)

ashe seems like he’d have a very calming presence, and i think that would be good whenever you were overthinking or when you were experiencing those feelings of doubt. and i think he’d be able to relate to you to an extent; he’s quite insecure about his past, so he knows what it’s like to experience some of those feelings. but, he would be excellent at providing you with that comforting presence. 

i can also see him being a big fan of your creative work!! he would love your paintings and drawings, and would absolutely hang them up on his walls so he can look at them and be reminded of you. and he would obviously love your writing!! he’s a big reader in the first place, and i think he would be really touched to know you trust him enough to let him read your work 

and on top of that, he’s very encouraging!! always giving you positive feedback, pointing out areas you’ve improved, bringing up little details he liked, etc. 

i think you’d have a much more peaceful relationship, too; you mentioned that you enjoy peace and quiet, and i think you and ashe would be the sort of couple who often enjoy being ‘alone together’; you just enjoy being in each other’s company, but you don’t have to say anything 

you have a lot of similar interests!! as with claude, you both like to read (and as with claude, you two would trade books all the time), you both enjoy baking and cooking (cute domestic activity to do together!!) 

i also feel like ashe would have an interest in classical literature, as one of his biggest loves is for traditional knight stories? i’m also not sure if it’s textual or not, but i can easily imagine ashe having a big love for cats and dogs, too! i also think he’d really enjoy role-playing games!! they just seem up his alley to me 

and while he might not be able to engage with it as well as claude, i think he’d really enjoy hearing your more analytical thoughts. he’s a very good listener, and he’d always be asking you questions to make sure you knew he was genuinely paying attention. 

as for mbti, i think ashe is an infp (or an enfp; i could see an argument either way), so your functions would balance each other out in interesting ways, i think! fi and fe can provide constructive alternate perspectives, as can ti and te. it’s one of those sorts of things where, while there may not be perfect comprehension of each other’s point of view all the time, it can definitely incur growth. 

i think ashe is another very, very good option, and i think he’s the sort of person who could bring you a lot of comfort, and who would ensure that you felt loved and cared for!!

platonically, i match you with...

annette!!

i think you and annette would make the most delightful pair of friends!! 

i really do think you guys would have a great rapport!! you’ve both similar in the fact that you love learning and reading about the things that interest you, and i think you guys could have the most interesting conversations about your areas of interest!! 

you’re both very clever and intelligent, and i think you two would keep each other on your toes (can i just say,,, you, claude, and annette? incredible squad)!! while she’s not as analytical as claude (their support is incredible akljdsflj) but i can definitely see her enjoying it

and, you guys are both very sweet and caring!! i can see you two being very supportive and encouraging with each other, and an absolute power friendship when it comes to studying,,, 

i think annette’s own optimism could potentially help you combat that pessimism? she’s just so bright and so cheerful, and she sees so much potential int he world; and i think that could be really motivating!! 

absolutely the sort of friendship where you can just talk for hours and hours, to the point of losing track of time; whether you’re in the refectory, the library, your dorms,,, wherever you are, you can just talk about anything (and nobody else can quite catch up)

annette is a very emotionally accessible person imo, so i think that would make it really easy for the two of you to connect!! she’s the sort of friend who would always have your back, and would always be trustworthy; kind of like you!! 

while you can be too forgiving, i feel like annette is the sort of person who’d stick up for you, and 

okay but admittedly you’d definitely get into overthinking spirals together. but you’d be there comforting each other, so that’s a positive, maybe?? but i think you’d both have that particular anxious energy, especially when things are high stress 

the two of you also always have your heads up in the clouds,,, you’re in your own world when you’re together, but honestly? that’s kind of adorable!! 

i feel like she may not totally ‘get’ your humour sometimes (i just think he’s,,, very pure), but she’d be a willing sidekick!! like claude, she’d also send you stuff to airdrop; sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s like,,, a minion meme from facebook that should’ve died long, long ago,,, 

annette’s also quite interested in beauty (and i’d assume by extension fashion?) so she loves your aesthetic. you guys would absolutely go on shopping trips together, while you excitedly try out new aesthetics (and buy every single scarf in the store alkfsdj) also; redheads!! redhead power friendship!! adorable!!

i also think annette is an arguable entp (i could see arguments for other types too) which only ups your compatibility!! 

and as with the other two, i think she shares a lot of your interests!! once again, i think she also has a voracity for reading, and i think she’d also enjoy role-playing games (if she can take the time to relax every one in a while!). i think she’d also quite enjoy character analysis and typology, since it can grant her better understanding about the people around her.

the short of it is that i think you and annette would just get on really, really well, and you’d be the cutest friends in the whole entire world!!  

also as a side note, i think you’d get along quite well with mercedes and dorothea as well!!

[edelgoth]

I'd like a matchup for 3H. I'm female, bi, INFJ (last I checked, but that was a while ago. definitely introverted though) . I love stories - reading and sometimes writing them, analyzing meanings and characters. I like to think (often I OVERthink), and make plans. I like the idea of having friends but in reality I'm overly sensitive and I usually prefer to not deal with people. I have a desire to make the world a better place but don't know where to start, and I tend to get discouraged. Thanks!

hi i’m garbage sorry this took a little while

i match you with…

claude!!

i think you two would have good balance! claude is an entp, and infjs and entps tend to complement each other quite well; your emotionality would help ground his ideals, while his ideals could inspire you!

claude’s got his own plans on how to make the world a better place, so he could certainly help you find your direction. 

if there’s one word to describe claude, it’s tenacious. it’d be hard to get discouraged when claude is just so motivated to reach his goals, and that’d help keep you inspired 

furthermore, claude has no trouble when it comes to dealing with people; it’s what he’s been trained to do, after all. so, he’d definitely take the reins there, and come back home complaining about what nonsense he had to put up with that day (probably some lords getting up to some bureaucratic foolishness)

claude is also a big reader (just,,, the pile of books in his room,,, on his floor,,, everywhere the eye can see,,,) so he’d love trading books with you and asking you about your thoughts on them!!

claude is always thinking and analysing, and i think the two of you would have a lot of fun picking apart the themes, plots and characters; that’s probably how you got to know each other

he started trading books with you in an attempt to get to know you better, and whoops! guess he’s In Love now

you say you like making plans? well, i hope you’re prepared to plan some schemes, because claude’ll always be asking you what you think about his latest strategy

also, once you’re comfortable enough to share him some of what you’d written, he’d be trying to guess your plot twists, and would give you a comprehensive analytical rundown of your characters 

i think you two would find a lot to talk about, as you both like to think (and claude certainly overthinks as well), so communication would flow quite naturally between the two of you

as he’s pretty insightful (especially as he gets older), claude would be quite good at handling how sensitive you can get, and would be quick to learn how best to help you with that going forward

thanks for being a pair of analytical bicons, you guys’d be so cute

alternative matchups

ashe: i nearly made him your main match! i think the two of you would connect over stories, as you both have a great love for them. ashe’d be your biggest fan, too, and would look forward to an new writing you produce. he’s more of a calming force than claude, and less likely to “challenge” you, but that’d make him someone you can truly relax with. expect to be given a lot of knight stories to analyse.  

mercedes: i’m,,, soft,,, like claude, i think she’d help you figure out the best way you could make the world a better place, because she’s passionate about what she wants to do with her life. but, like ashe, she’d be much softer with you, someone to relax and feel safe with! i could see you guys sharing stories (as long as you can handle a good ghost tale), and mercedes would absolutely love to hear you talk about your thoughts! i love her so much i’m emotional

hiya!! could i get a pba matchup for fe3h? im pan, infp and my ennea is 4. im very closed off when you first meet me, my responses are limited to a couple words. it's very hard to get to know me since i dont trust easily + im v anxious talking w/ strangers. once im comfy with someone im kinda chaotic. im an instigator for trouble for fun, i make a fool of myself to make others laugh. making other people smile makes me feel good. im over the top and overdramatic, I speak in sarcasm even (1/2?🌾)

to aid my dramatics. spinning elaborate stories about passerbys. on the other im also a huge softy, i love animals lots. i talk to my cats, gave names to the birds that always come to our birdfeeder, and rescue bugs from getting stepped on. once I start a book, I finish it the day I start it. I love to write and draw too. rainy days are my favorite, I go for walks in the rain by myself often. then when it’s storming ill sit by a window and watch till it’s over. i just love nature lots.. (p2🌾)

hello hello! you sound adorable!! and i’m sorry this took so long!

partner: marianne!! you two would be delightful i’m,,, 

i think marianne would appreciate having a bright, cheerful partner, and you tick that box! 

furthermore, you love animals! i feel like that would be a pretty big prerequisite for marianne; even if her partner didn’t love animals, she’d need them to respect them. knowing that you name the birds that frequent your birdfeeder and that you adore your cats? she’s sold tbh 

you seem very kind, and that’s something else i think marianne would admire in you. i think you’d be the sort of couple that’s always looking after each other in the little ways, whether it be packing snacks into your satchel before a long day, or making you a tea while you’re working on something. 

i’m not crying but please imagine listening to a storm as you sit by the window, wrapped in blankets and each others arms,,, i’m emotional 

while you and marianne are both quite difficult to get to know, i feel like that’d be the reason you actually got along in the first place?? i think marianne’d get a bit sick of people trying to force her to open up, 

OH and you’re one of the few people that can make marianne laugh with ease,,, she really enjoys your chaotic side,, or when you’re being a bit dramatic, and always gives you a little kiss on your forehead whenever you’re making a fool of yourself. 

best friend: i tossed up a few people for this (mercedes is an honourable mention), but i think claude would be a surprisingly good fit! 

claude would tease you relentlessly. about everything. it’s all affectionate, of course, but this boy does not let up,,, you better get some nicknames for him in your arsenal. most sarcastic friendship. it’s kind of incredible.

he’d also tease you for your dramatic side, and the fact that you’re quite shy; claude loves his secrets and mysteries, after all (i literally just watch the flayn support where he says “i have a crush on your secrets” what a fuckin NERD). an easy way to tease him would be to pretend you have secrets that you’re not going to tell him. watch him go feral. 

a big reason i chose claude was because you said you’re kind of chaotic when you’re comfortable with someone, and i feel like he’d really enjoy that energy. you’re both trouble-makers, and you guys would be kind of notorious for it 

i think you guys’d have great comedic chemistry. furthermore, i feel like you’d be able to chat at length about all sorts of things; claude’d particularly enjoy when you spin elaborate stories about passer-bys. he eats it up. he’d probably even start analyzing them himself. 

you’re always swapping books, too! claude would love to talk to you about all his analyses of the stories and the myths and the historical canons he delves into, etc. please tease him for being the World’s Biggest Nerd

lords of the prank,,, and of making other people laugh. like, people both distrust you guys bc they don’t know if you’ll target them next, and they adore you guys because you’re so funny. 

admirer: raphael

honestly i think a big reason raphael would like you so much is because of how well you look after marianne,,, 

while you’re closed off at first, i’ve said time and time again that raphael is so gregarious and friendly that, if you don’t run off after the first few minutes, it’s going to be hard to to be friends with him. so, i think you guys would be good friends, his little crush on you nonwithstanding 

i feel like raphael would also love how you make a fool of yourself just to make others laugh, and that you enjoy making others smile. they’re traits that he has himself, and it’d really draw him to you 

okay but raphael trying to get along with the animals in an attempt to get closer to you but he’s just too loud,,, he’s speaking birdese again someone please stop him it’s scaring them away-- 

of course, he’s not going to say or do anything about his feelings (he thinks you and marianne are the most adorable couple around, after all), so he’s perfectly happy to admire and support you from afar 

(honestly he’d also fit the best friend category as well but as you can see, it got a bit carried away with claude so,,, but i essentially think that raphael would just be,,, so fond of you)

fe3h matchup

@thejapanesealpaca so i got inspired i guess ajkdhsdkjh hope you like it!! 

you remind me a lot of myself, but if I were pure and wholesome and cute (bless up tbh) anyway, 

after some thought, I match you with…

claude!!

it's well-established that claude loves a mystery, and I'm not saying that he would percieve your shyness as one, per say, but I think he'd be a little intrigued (and maybe even determined to break down your walls)

claude's a bit of a contrast to you, in the sense that while you're more inexperienced, claude's seen a lot of Stuff that's really shaped his worldview, so i think you'd learn a lot from him

i also feel like he'd be really good at helping you feel comfortable about sharing your thoughts and feelings? claude's a very curious person who seems to think a Lot, and he'd absolutely want to be able to talk openly with you

reading together!! talking philosophy and psychology together!! chatting for hours about the different cultures all across the world!! analysing about all the things you think about!! claude to a t!! the ideal relationship!!

claude loves finding the deeper truths and meanings to things (literally one of the themes of his route), so I think you're be very intellectually compatible?

most insightful, analytical and introspective couple tbh

ALSO funniest couple around the monastery, you're always laughing together (and making whoever's hanging out with the two of you lose it)

okay but he'll tease you so much for daydreaming, but never in a mean way, you know? just whenever you space out, he'll boop your nose and go "hey, why fantasize about me when I'm right here?" (promptly followed by a wink, of course)

but claude's a very perceptive person, and he'd absolutely know and respect your boundaries and when he might be pushing you too far; and he'd always be checking in with you whenever you were exhibiting any signs of being overwhelmed

even when you're feeling insecure or demotivated, claude would know Exactly how to pick you up, simply because he's genuinely paying attention and knows you so well

he's just someone that you can rely on, and even though it'll be hard at first, you'll know that you can always trust him and be frank about your feelings (maybe in a way you haven't quite managed before?)

we love one (1) man and i'm E M O T I O N A L

alternative matchups

ashe: this'd be so wholesome!! Honestly I tossed up a lot between him and claude (both are perfect tbh), but! You both love reading and cooking, and just? that'd be such a perfect way of spending time to each other? ashe'd be a lot softer than claude as a partner, but I think he'd be a great source of comfort and encouragement for you. i think he'd be able to relate to a lot of your feelings (he's been through a LOT) and you'd be able to offer him that sensitivity and understanding to help him with his own feelings. you said you're a bit childlike, and ashe is very purposefully bright-eyed, and i think that'd just make you guys would just be? so cute? this ship is making me so emotional ugh  

dedue: i would Lay Down My Life for this man, honestly. Your relationship with him would be quite different to the other two, and a lot… quieter, if that make sense? Where the other two would be more… verbal in their affection, I think there'd be a lot of implicit understanding between you and dedue, and you two wouldn't necessarily need words to let each other know that you care? like you'd just Get each other. i feel like he's one of those people where how he cares and how he shows love isn't very explicit, but you bet he's always watching out for you and making sure you're comfortable. and of course, you'd do the same for him!!  (and i'm emo A G A I N)

pba matchup for Bean!

HEY @ BEAN ANON I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT YOUR ASK DISAPPEARED,,, but here's your matchup! You're the INFP who acts weird and just plain happy and free around your friends! You like pranks and watching the night sky! 

partner: ashe!! i’m v passionate about this!! 

i chose him because i think for a romantic partner, you’d need a very calming, affirming force, and ashe would be able to give you the support and affirmation you need!

ashe would be patient with you, and would easily be able to tell when you were overwhelmed or when your mood at changed. and i think he’d be able to adapt to how you were feeling

ashe would be very understanding, and he’d get that you were quite sensitive; he’d also be very good with it, always being gentle with you during the more emotional times 

but, i think he’d have a good sense of humour with you, too! he’d always laugh at your jokes (even if he didn’t get them all the time), and he’d find your happy and carefree nature endearing; he can’t help but smile when you were in that sort of mood

i think ashe would also enjoy watching the night sky with you; he strikes me as the sort of person that enjoys spending ‘downtime’ with his partner, revelling in the little moments you get to share together

he’d also love it when you sung to him! he’d definitely request a lullaby every so often, and expect to be heaped with praise whenever he got to hear you sing (all compliments given while his cheeks are bright red, of course)

best friend: claude!! honestly I had a hard time choosing between him and ashe for your partner, but I think claude would work so well as your best friend. but you and claude as a dynamic duo? it’s a yes from me

first of all, lords of the prank? am I right? you two are T E R R O R S for the rest of your friends, because nobody can who’s the next target

they’re never mean pranks, and everyone has to admit that they’re pretty funny. but you guys are relentless, and most people are so impressed (and maybe a little frightened of) the creative power the two of you share; nobody's going to forget the day they walked into the classroom to find every bit of furniture had been turned upside down

claude’s a clever guy, and he’s very good at playing the extrovert when you two are together; he knows you get nervous and overwhelmed, and while he wants to help you with that, he’s never going to make you do anything you want to do

he’s also quite an emotionally resilient guy, so he shoulders your mood changes with ease; you’re feeling more sensitive? it’s okay, you don’t have to do anything stressful, he’ll just lie on your dorm room floor reading while you draw

expect a lot of late night/very early hours of the morning calls. it’s like 2pm and claude’s knocking on your dorm room like “come on, the stars are so clear tonight, you HAVE to come look at them with me.” that, or he’s thought up a brilliant prank that the two of you need to start preparing it Right Now or else it’ll fail dramatically

for some reason I feel like you two hang out on the roof a lot. nobody knows why. it stresses ashe out. but it’s just like Your Spot, you know? and claude likes it bc he can speak openly with you without having to worry about anyone hearing him.

admirer: i thought about this one a lot, but i’ve finally decided on caspar. 

i just feel like he’d be drawn to your bright, cheerful personality? and he’d always be itching to be part of the pranks that you and claude pull 

i can’t imagine you guys being particularly close as friends (i feel like caspar wouldn’t quite know how to behave around you, meaning that he can come off a bit... brash at times, which doesn’t work out well with your tendency to be nervous), but he’d always be admiring you from afar

he joined the choir in an attempt to impress you with his singing ability (he knew that you were good at that), but that went as well as you could imagine 

once he worked out with ashe, it took him a while to process it; at first he thought that he should brawl ashe in order to win your favour, realised that wouldn’t be a great idea, and eventually came to the conclusion that it was best if he kept his feelings to himself 

but, despite how brash he can come off,, and his personal conflict about your relationship status, caspar is always kind to you, and at the very least, you can appreciate that
