Oh, yeah, COWARDS to the Hamefura animator for not adapting the scene with Raphael going "Thd only person I could be confortable with was Nicol because we were both depressed but then he met you and got some seratonin curse you Bakarina for making my best friend I used to be depressed with Happy!"
It was super important to understand his character and also Raphael Walts is gay and he's Gay/Pan solidarity with Katarina, get on with the FUCKING program!
I’d love to see your Hamefura ship ranking — from your most favorite to least favorite! 💕 Please include an explanation for why you ranked them that way, I’m really curious to know your thoughts!
Woooo okay,,, let’s see!
Gonna be doing these from most favorite to least..
Maria x Katarina
You could probably guess from my daily Marikata doodles every day until my birthday (which is TOMMOROW!!!!) LMAO .. But yeah I they are 100% my favorite!
The two are just so so sweet.. so fluffy... so sappy and silly.. The way they both view eachother as perfect and wonderful that they soon subconsciously get better and better thanks to eachother’s view towards them.. the way they both would both abandon their usual principles to help the other… Really they are just adorable.. so cute.. Though I also really like the Fortune Lover version of this ship too! And this is because I fucking LOVEEE enemies to lovers you guys. Villainess x Heroine.. the “I despise you” to “How can I ever live without you?” pipeline.. aughhh ..
THE ANGST TOOOOO. IN BOTH FORTUNE LOVER AND HAMEFURA.. LIKE AUGHH ..
It’s just a really fun ship to play around with! And to draw as well :)
Sophia x Katarina
My friends to lovers.. my ‘their love transcends universes’ duo.. AUGHH I LOVE THEM .
I really really adore these two not only because they are so cute together and their love of books— but also for their whole reincarnation thing!! You can do so much with that!!! Give them deja vu and strange nostalgia!!! Give them ANGST!!!
I also especially really like the Fortune Lover version as well. Because aughhhh .. oh my doomed yuri.. what if we transcended universes, our new lives changing us to entirely different people.. but what if in our core we were the same as before,, what if we loved eachother the same.. what if our love travelled with us into this new universe…
And to be honest the idea of them being friends again in Fortune Lover without the need for Katarina to regain her past life’s memories led me to impulsively start writing something. It’s not nearly finished at all but STILL. I REALLY REALLY LIKE THEM!!!
Mary x Katarina
I just love Mary’s like— obsession and enthusiasm. It’s so so funny and their shared passion with gardening (with the two practically being in opposite parts of the spectrum) really cute! There was also this one Mary x Katarina fic where Katarina helped Mary with her claustrophobia and that’s just.. really sweet.. omg.. It’s just a really really fluffy ship with potential for comedy which I love.. kinda like Marikata! So I like this one :)
Since this seems to be a pattern I guess I’ll include the potential of this ship in Fortune Lover too.. sooo—
God the idea of this is really funny to me . I don’t know just the idea of the two fiancés of the famous two princes getting together seems hilarious. Especially since Mary and Katarina are just obsessed with their fiancés in Fortune Lover.. so like wtf happened.. what is going on.. /silly . But ALSO now that I think hard enough the idea sounds really really cute actually… I wonder if people have wrote fics of them, that might be cute!
. Also I think I like this ship mainly because I love yuri in general. These top 3 are literally all wlw. Can you tell I love yuri.. BUT WHATEVER .. WHATEVER ITS FINE.. /silly
Alan x Katarina
I think they have good chemistry! They match each others pace, they both like similar things, she makes her laugh— it’s really just a sweet ship! And also I like this ship because their friendship reminds me of my friends! I literally did a funny little textpost with them using a screenshot of me and a friend of mine— really really funny lol
Another reason I like this ship is because they just— they have so much potential for comedy and shenanigans.. they are so stupid. So dense. In the pirate visual novel during the good ending of Alan’s route the harem literally tried preventing the confession by making unfortunate little things happen to Alan and it’s so funny. They didn’t even suspect a fucking thing. They are hilarious . I love them…
I think in the context of Fortune Lover it could be really fun! I think they would get along there too if Katarina stops obsessing over Geordo. Like in this one fic where they switched bodies and they soon agreed that Geordo was honestly just ruining their life so they agreed to put a stop to him. And it’s just so so funny like YEAH GUYS!! KICK HIS ASS!! AND KATARINA FUCKING HITS HIM WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!!!!!! /silly
Overall, just really fun :)
Nicole x Katarina / Raphael x Katarina
Okay.. uh..
Raphael x Katarina and Nicole x Katarina are in the same spot just because im just mainly neutral about them at the same amount. Raphael x Katarina a little less but still.
These ships could be really cute! I’ve read some Nicole x Katarina fics and they are really sweet.. The sunshine x silent protector sort of thing…. So silly… And Raphael x Katarina could definitely be really fun especially with the context of dark magic— the angst! And the shenanigans that they will cause soon after! In in the context of Fortune Lover they both could also be really fun!
Especially with Nicole.. I have a deltarune au x hamefura thing in my head and I’d like to explore their dynamic there since they will be the Kris and Susie equivalents in the prophecy.. And Raphael with his dark magic could be really fun to explore with a mean Katarina. Especially since she will eventually also get dark magic as well.
Over all I’m just neutral about these two.. they are fun but I don’t really have a strong opinion on them!
Geordo x Katarina
I put this here because just.. I don’t really care about Geordo at all. I’ve occasionally read fics about them, and they were really cute usually! I think they could make a fun dynamic and such, but I just.. I don’t care about Geordo at all… If I did this would probably be higher up the list— maybe above Alan. But I never really care for characters like him so., sorry Geordo..
I think this ship in Fortune Lover could be really interesting! I remember seeing a fic where they both end up getting obsessed eachother, but like in an unhealthy way— and my gosh it was entertaining. A match made in hell.. so so fun. But just— Geordo doesn’t really pique my interest that much. And i just prefer the dynamics of the others way more. So this ship is at the very bottom.. sorry LOL
Keith x Katarina
They 👏 are 👏 SIBLINGS!! (Basically..)
I like their dynamic in a platonic light— but not really in a romantic light. It’s just icky to me— even if you remove the context of them as siblings it’s just… eugh.. I don’t like it all too much..
I personally think their relationship should be explored in platonic ways! I think they could be a really cute sibling duo together!! I also find the idea funny of Keith just having beef with Geordo not because he’s in love with Katarina— but because he just doesn’t think he would be a good influence. Mary too in that regard. I just think it would be better! His little thing he has where he uses his like. How he’s a step-sibling to Katarina to try and make progress in the harem also is just disgusting.. god I hate his desire in episode 8 too like WHAT WAS THATT!!!!!
And in the Fortune Lover context just— just absolutely not. As I said before— I think their relationship being explored in a platonic light would be a lot more interesting than in a romantic one. Especially since they fucking hate eachother there LMAAOOO
I remember seeing a fic where they actually did have a good relationship at first, but after Keith accidentally hurts Katarina with the golem and hides himself in his room that’s where they fall apart. And just— that’s so interesting! Thats such a fun way to explore their relationship in Fortune Lover instead of the just the usual bullying for their entire life thing.
Over all I jsut don’t like this ship. Plus I think it would be funnier if Keith was gay or in love with Maria (in Hamefura, not in Fortune Lover..) anyway LOL.
This is the hill I will DIE on, Raphael and Katarina have a completely platonical relationship, and was her friendship in the end that saved him from himself.
Dude is
1) Gay.
2) Associates her with his dead mother so YIKES.
3) The main reason why he starts hating on Katarina was because he rationalizes she stole Nicol from him by giving him Serotonin and he's jealous of it, which might be assumed the same reason why he starts hating on Maria in Fortune Lover proper (Since Monkey Chan never played Nicol's Route).
4) Isn't remotely ready for a romantic commitment right now given the Trauma and the Abuse he suffered, and really needs a friend instead.
5) Katarina doesn't just save people by making them fall in love for her, she also does so by being genuinely supportive and warm to them by using other forms of love, like it happened to ANNE, HER PARENTS, THE GARDNER (Novel Only but some cameos in anime and manga), AND SO ON.
Yes, she is the Harem Queen, but she is the Harem Queen because she's a good person who likes to make FRIENDS, and Raphael is first and foremost her FRIEND!
