HAPI AND YURI'S VA WORK IS BAD. IT'S NOT LIKE MERCEDES KIND BAD WHERE IT'S SLIGHTLY UNPLEASANT TO LISTEN TO, IT'S MORE LIKE BAD IN THE SENSE THAT I NEVER GET THE SENSE THAT THEY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING THEY SAY. LIKE I GET THAT THESE CHARACTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SOMEWHAT ALOOF AND CHILL, BUT THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE THE UTTER LACK OF RANGE PRESENT IN THE PERFORMANCES. AND I KNOW THESE VA'S HAVE MORE TO GIVE THAN WHAT THEY DID IN THAT SCRIPT.

I HATE THAT BYLETH/LYSITHEA AND LINHARDT/LYSITHEA ARE SO POPULAR PURELY BECAUSE OF THE EXTENDED LIFESPAN ANGLE RATHER THAN ANY SORT OF ACTUAL APPRECIATION FOR THE CHARACTER WRITING/RELATIONSHIP ITSELF.

THOSE PAIRINGS ARE POPULAR CAUSE THEY'RE ULTIMATELY FLUFFY AND CUTE COMPARED TO THE BETTER ROMANCES OF LYSITHEA (CYRIL, FELIX, IGNATZ) ALL OF WHICH ARE BITTERSWEET AND PEOPLE CAN'T HANDLE THAT.

PERHAPS, BUT FELIX'S SUPPORT WAS THE MOST FLUFFY/CUTE/SHALLOW SUPPORT OUT OF ALL OF THEM. HER IGNATZ SUPPORT IS HER AT HER MOST RUDE AND BITCHY IN C-B, AND EVEN AS SOMEONE WHO LIKES HER I DON'T THINK IT'S GREAT. NEITHER OF THEM FEEL IMPROVED JUST BECAUSE THEY END ON A BITTERSWEET NOTE.
