So, sometimes I can really get carried away with the SGE ships, but I'm just gonna summarise this one down so it doesn't end up longer than the years the earth has existed 😭

Please note than none of these are in order, and all are situated out as my own opinion.

!! MAJOR SPOILERS ALONG THE WAY TOO !!

Tagatha

I guess these two are appropriate for each other, even though the toxicity of their relationship (I might post about this later) really unbalanced some things.

All in all, I'm fine with Agatha and Tedros as a couple since I seriously can't find someone else that would be appropriate for them, plus they'd make a quite capable pair on leading Camelot

7/10

2. Hophie

-This may offend many, but I just can't find it in me to even ship them 😭

First of all, it seemed like to me that Hort was continuously trying to force Sophie into dating him at least from books 1-3, and halfway through book 4. I ended up putting myself in Sophie's shoes, and found it to be actually quite annoying for someone who likes you whom you can't return the same feelings for repeatedly tries to date you.

0/10 (sorry).

3. Hestadil

One of my fav couples in the series. They were suitable for each other from start to finish, and really developed their relationship over time!

8.5/10

4. Nicphie

Eh, they're alright I suppose. Tbh it can end up as a really cute relationship if developed properly, kinda like enemies x lovers.

7/10

5. Hicola

I actually liked this ship more than Hophie, and that's saying something, given Nicola was only introduced in book 4 and started dating Hort in the exact same book whilst we knew him and Sophie since the very beginning.

Still, I wouldn't quite ship it, since it was a little too fast for me.

5/10

6. Rophie (Rafal and Sophie)

If Rafal wasn't realistically thousands of years old, I would've shipped this with my whole heart, aside from the fact their relationship was a little manipulative.

Firstly, like said before, Rafal is extremely old, making it hard for me to process this ship since he's basically an ancient creep that's hitting on a teenage girl because of some prediction/ prophecy.

Secondly, I'm not sure if it was just me, or he truly did love her, but it seemed like Rafal was trying to gain control of Sophie and manipulate her into doing his bidding.

Aside from all of this, I loved their relationship and ate it up in only 2 sittings! It was like a spicy relationship that kept me entertained for the majority of the time.

9/10!

7. Rhophie (Rhian and Sophie)

Given all of my opinions on the other ships, it even surprised me when I told myself I'm actually okay with this one, when it was literally one of the most toxic and manipulative couples in the whole series.

But then again, (DON'T COME AT ME) as much as it wasn't Rhian's right to rule Camelot, I just think that he was a better king than Tedros for many reasons. Plus, I even felt sorry for him when he died towards the end of book 5.

I would've loved to see him ruling a kingdom (doesn't matter which one) with Sophie! And don't even get me started on their dynamics during ACOT! You may think I'm psychotic, but it is what it is 😭

9.5/10

8. Japaric

I'm okay with this one. They're in fact, so evil, they deserve each other 😭

8.5/10

So....

Someone had asked me in the comments of my "ask my some questions" post on why I thought Japeth didn't follow Aric when he was kicked out of Arbed House.

I'm gonna be honest and say that this question had been a general curiosity for me when I first finished the series, because Japeth had a love so deep for him, he was literally watching the world go up in flames just to be able to see him again.

I think that Japeth somewhat either felt guilty to leave Rhian at the time just to go with Aric, or he was forcibly held back, which is probably the reason behind it.

I think that Rhian/ Kei/ Dean Brunhilde held him back by force as he watched Aric leave.

I can literally imagine Japeth screaming and thrashing in their arms and begging Aric to stay oh god 😭

But yeah thank you for the interesting question!

I seriously want to see what the majority of Tumblr thinks on these ships. (I'm generally really curious, because I've seen some defend these two under serious circumstances).

If you are more of a Keian shipper (Kei x Rhian), feel free to like.

If you are more of a Jaric/ Japaric shipper (Japeth x Aric), feel free to reblog.

If I see this ending up dramatically, I might do more lmao 😭

And then overall, we'll put all the top picked ships in like a mega battle or smth EJWKNFKRNFF-

LET THE BATTLES BEGIN!!

I did this a long time ago in private, and unexpectedly, it was extremely fun.

I have some really funny ones in my drafts that I'm sure of will make the vast majority pass out from laughing-

Basically how it works is that I went on an online spinner and chucked down all the SGE (most of them) characters' names and randomly spun it.

Then I would make a template saying something like...

Best friend:

Who throws a party:

etc.

So without further ado, let's get into it 😏

! MAJOR SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW !

Friend: Japeth

Hosting a party: Aric

Who invites me: Tedros

Doesn't like me there: Japeth

Kisses me: Aric

Doesn't like the kiss: Japeth

Best friend: Tedros

Ends up dating: Japeth

Enemy: Rhian

Hmm...it would seem that the spinner is a massive Japaric fan shipper, given the choice in answers.

Because, since I can read, it says that Aric "kisses me", whilst Japeth didn't like the kiss 😭

And then I end up dating my supposedly enemy's twin.

It's okay, I can hand him over to Aric (given I'm not a fan of snakes 😃)

Okay, here's another one 😭

The bride: Sophie

The groom: Japeth

Walking the bride down the aisle: Rafal

The bridesmaid: Agatha

Best man: Aric

This was generally just sad, and straight up reminded me of book 6 when Sophie was about to be forcibly married to Japeth.

And the fact that Rafal is apparently gonna walk her down the aisle really makes me cackle 💀 (I chose that emoji cause it looks like him).

Just imagine he's walking her down awkwardly and says to himself, "My ex is getting married to my son? What goofy hell did I end up in?"

And the saddest bit is that the bride and groom's best friends are the bridesmaid and best man, not to mention Aric and Japeth's rocky relationship 😭

OKAY, LAST ONE FOR TODAY!!

The bride: Sophie

The groom: Rhian

Walking bride down the aisle: Rafal (again-)

The bridesmaid: Agatha (the spinner was rigged 😭)

Best man: Aric (...)

Drama at the wedding:

Cheater: Japeth

Cheated on: ARIC-

Mistress/ paramour of the cheater: Agatha

Gets engaged at the wedding: Aric...and Sophie...😃

Idk how I can prove this to you, but it seriously happened 😭

And I couldn't believe how the third to fourth options were cursed to have the same answer-

But yeah, tbh this was one of the funniest, (and saddest).

The bride and groom answers the spinner chose really got to me, and idek why.

And the fact that Japeth..........cheated on Aric.....

Was just freaking hilarious.

What's even better is that apparently Aric went after his brother's newly-wed wife for revenge 😭

Anyways, that's all for today!

I have heaps more in my drafts, (and I mean HEAPS), including some...ahem...✨SPICY✨ ones 😏

My advice to you is if your insanely bored (or just generally a little bored), go and do this spinner game with whatever theme you desire for.

It doesn't even have to be SGE! It can literally be a tv show, movie, other books, celebrities, and etc.
