On this fine day I must spread gospel for my guilty pleasure rarepair. Do not fear come closer. It's so chaotic but I love Sebek x Idia
Men so full of themselves that they momentarily forget about shame. Guys who both think they are above social conventions in different ways, normie-hater gamer x nutcase military jock. Social anxiety personified x guy who doesn't care about anyone's but his idol's opinion. Guy who can't bring himself to talk above a whisper in public most days x guy who YEEELLS. Tiny font x huge font!!
Idia's social anxiety final boss you might say. Except Idia does pass it with flying burning colors, honestly. Sebek is so unrelenting that Idia is recurringly pushed past bothering to mask, he just needs to rant. Ranter x ranter, hater x hater.
Pot, meet kettle!
Sebek and Idia clash a lot so in canon their dynamic does mainly center on hater vs hater energy, but yes they are very similar on many points, like their overcompensating for their identity issues and insecurities by being little shits. (Idia seeing himself as an introvert misfit cursed by life itself with unrecognized superior genius who deems that enough to trashtalk "normies" and anyone who differs from him, Sebek who hates his human part and overcompensates for that insecurity by being a raging fae supremacist and devoting himself fully to working as a servant to his nation's king. Both people worried about fitting in but who convince themselves that they're higher than that, and who through their own abrasiveness are often seen as dislikable: becoming self-fulfilling prophecies of making enemies because rejection would be unbearable.)
Flash character analyses aside, ultimately, although their comedic potential is great they're very sweet slice of life flavored to me.
They're both very prideful which is delightful, and where there is pride there is often a competitive spirit~! But Sebek is very earnest, he can be very sweet and almost gullible… He does like being helpful, and to a degree that's why he became a guard. I think it'd be sweet because Idia tends to assume the worst out of people and worries about like, being approached disingenuously or people being twofaced or whatev, normies, and imagine— Because Sebek can't pretend to like someone if he doesn't lol, and everyone knows that he wouldn't bother.
Sebek is the aggressively supportive kind, gives tough love if you're anyone but Malleus, but also if he believes in you he believes in you. Ortho can take vacation days now, Sebek is GETTING IDIA OUT OF HIS ROOM he swears on the pride of Malleus' guards!! THEY HAVE TALKED ABOUT GETTING IDIA SOME PHYSICAL TRAINING IN HE CANNOT RUN AWAY NOW!!!!
With the combined power of ortho and peer pressure they can make Idia play a sport…….
ALSO SEBEK IS A MALLEUS WOTA!!!!!! IDIA CAN HOOK HIM UP ON FAN CULTURE HE GETS IT!!! COLLECT MERCH OF YOUR FAVE WRITE 5K WORDS ALL CAPS ANALYSIS/PROPAGANDA OF YOUR FAVE ON YOUR TUMBLR BLOG. SEBEK WILL TAG EVERY MAIN TAGS OF THE FANDOM EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT RELEVANT TO HIS POST BECAUSE "EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT"- Like tell me Sebek wouldn't like some nerdy high fantasy novel with a knight on a perilous journey, maybe it's obscure maybe it's popular but he becomes annoying about it. HE LIKES READING!! LET THE KNIGHT HAVE HOBBIES!!!! Idia gets Sebek to try a mmorpg with him and laughs at how the noob keeps dying and Sebek is raging on voicechat "YOU HAVE UNO" levels of screaming, but he does get better… And eventually feels all about his shiny stacked stats block in some cool looking armor equipment. Playing a MOBA, Sebek tweaking cursing several human bloodlines in a single match. Idia receives texts like "Idia. Are you free for some Monster Hunter today" "idk kinda busy 2day" "there is a 40 minutes hole in your schedule at 6 pm that is enough come online or die by my sword". Elden Ring can fix him.
They get into powerscaling debates. Would trying to argue that Goku could beat Malleus be a waste of time? Yes. But does Idia loves trolling and winning debates? Also yes.
Idia mentioning doing a bajillion virtual tennis hours… Sebek substituting "training" for mii sports once in a while would be so cute he'd get so into it. Do not break his wii remote. One day they'll get to second base aka Just Dance
Also whatever the hell thematic narrative is happening here:
Again GET ORTHO A VACATION Sebek can be the strong guy carrying Idia's machinery, parts and tools around to help him out he loooves being helpful and praised.
Sebek makes Idia get some sun and fresh air and Idia makes Sebek get some hobbies. Stubborn people finally convinced to give things a shot and have fun. Willful socializing...? I am proud of them.
An Idia ship I would call ethical Idia torture ✨ Make friends and share air with living breathing people ❤️🔥❤️🔥💪🗣️🔥⚡️
Couple who is mutually uplifting but also mutually humbling lmfao 💕 Putting Sebek with Idia is like aggressive exposure therapy ………. I swear that to me it works and is fluffy but I get it if it's hard to see lol.
Mutually raising each other's faith in humanity, despite all their flaws.
Sebek thinking Idia is some kind of fire fae the first time he sees him... seeing beauty in his curse yet relating with his identity issues if Idia opens up about how much he hates it. Bonding over standing out, as a cursed human and a half-human half-fae...
They should have a summer enemies to lovers slow burn
Like, in GloMas Sebek smirks and praises Idia's smarts and guts before genuinely volunteering to do a congratulating air toss for Idia— just a while after getting ragebaited by a smirking Idia NRC-alert-the-girls-are-fighting style, I promise you they have buddies potential

When Idia was a kid, he found a surprise at his family's vacation house. Sebek was taken by the Shrouds and given care. Idia, who just lost his brother back then, immediately got attached to the young croc~
[In this au, non humans (except faes) are seen as lesser and sometimes even kept as exotic pets. Only pure blood faes are capable of magic.]
So the gist of it– sebek and idia got into a potion accident and they didn't retain their memories, lil ⚡ saw lil 💀, then he decided that 💀 is the 2nd most beautiful person in the world and proceeded to rizz him up LOL
⚡: "ARE YOU A PYRO FAE???" *sparkly eyes*
Also yea silver and ortho got the babysitting task. Ortho could make up something about his uhhh condition to lil idia maybe lmao. But he was ECSTATIC (the big bro experience is a novel thing to him). And would show pics and vids later to the first years gang. Then ace and epel never let sebek live it down gsjsgshgs poor crocboi
