Very cute but having all that junk on the bed will lead to accidents.

By Namori? Looks pretty different from the usual style. I like it.

I can never get over how Iroha's doppel makes her look.

@elevown It's implicit in the fact that Nanoha and Fate tried to adopt Vivio together in StrikerS, but only Nanoha could be registered as Vivio's legal guardian, and Fate had to figure only as their daughter's godmother in the papers, which is fine since it's only a legal issue and Vivio still saw both Nanoha and Fate as her mothers. The thing in Japan is that even with the legal unions for homosexual couples that are available in some cities, homosexual couples still can't adopt together as the child's two guardians, that a right restricted only to married couples. Now, as most people that follow Nanoha after Vivid they would know that starting from chapter 1 of Vivid and in all the secondary material and live events from that date they started referring to both Nanoha and Fate as Vivio's guardians, we started getting a lot of official NanoFate wedding artworks for the first time that even made their way to the cover of magazines, and it was a subtle but big thing in Japan back then, not that the couple wasn't canon before that but it's always nice to have more married yuri couples.

@EvelineClariss That sounds misleading, and is not very accurate to the canon material, their relationship has been canon for so long that their very active sexual life became a running joke on Vivid Life and live events. The last paragraph is fine though.

@Moedred Yeah, they were portrayed as a married couple since before they took the step, there are ton of stuff like your pic that never left the magazines.

BDSM definitely feels mistagged here in context of what the picture is... this pic always struck more as Yachiyo not being afraid/accepting of Iroha even as she looks terrifying with the demon bird attached to her hair.

I can never get over how Iroha's doppel makes her look.

Doppels are Witches, just a more controlled and reversible form of a Witch, it is only natural they look unsettling at times.

^writers tend to be terrible at thinking outside the box of their own particular societal contexts and expectations, or at least the editors often get nervous of straying too far from those. So, yes, current Japanese legislation is practically relevant here.

@EvelineClariss Mid Childa's law is based on Japan's, like most anime fantasy or sci-fi settings do, that's what Tsuzuki is familiar with, that's what his audience is familiar with and understand, and that was just one of the tools he used in the development of the Takamachi family (generation 2, official name that they use to describe their family unit). You can assert that all the canon material that makes reference to their sex life, marriage and family is not valid and that the fans are understanding the franchise wrong, but that sounds like cynicism of an highly unreasonable degree to me.
Also about Yumina, a lot of people don't think that's the case, but that one is a can of worms I'm not interesting in explaining.

Also D.va is one of the most popular characters, so she's paired with everyone.

Everytime these two pop up I have to resist that urge to hnnnggghhh, lest it go too far and I end up in a puddle of feelings.

Finally finished this game the other day (the definitive edition), and I screenshotted/video captured every ounce of Ristelle subtext I could find.

Always wanted to do that!

@EvelineClariss I think I found the root of the problem, you don't seem to be using the word canon exactly right. Canon means that something is part of a literary narrative, implicitly or explicitly, and when we're talking about a established licensed property like the Nanoha franchise everything that is made by (or authorized by) the rights holder is by default part of the canon, unless officially stated otherwise, so for example fans can't arbitrarily call the SSX drama cd not canon because it's secondary or Force not canon because it was cancelled, not until it's officially stated. With big multi-installment franchises like Star Wars or FATE many times the canon can diverge into multiple narrative universes that can't coexist with one another, in Nanoha's case fans usually agree that there are 4 major universes (usually called Nanoha's many canons): main timeline that starts with the og anime and finishes with Force and Vivid Strike (by default everything goes here), also the movies universe because they change the events of the main universe, and the smaller innocent universe and psp universe.
I can probably go into more detail but this much is probably already too much, and now back to the issue at hand the main thing is that if in a specific installment of a franchise that one person may arbitrarily define as THE one part of the canon is not explicitly stated that two characters are married, that doesn't mean that they are not; that couple being married is canon if it's part of the narrative of that literary universe, which means it can be part of other installments that are part of the same narrative, and just to clarify it doesn't necessarily has to be explicit etiher, the word subtext applies in those cases, which doesn't mean that something is not canon but that it's part of the narrative and inferred through context.
