002 for eremika 😈😆🤡
Anon why would you do me dirty like this i cant believe youve done this lol
ehh ask and ye shall receive so i'll give it a stab i guess. Before i begin just a reminder once again that i have no issue with the ship itself, just how it was canonically executed.
002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:
When I started shipping them:
i dont really but if i did it would have been when Eren started showing/treating Mikasa the respect she deserves, so right around when....
......uh.....
....ermm....
.....yo can someone help me out here? im struggling
My thoughts:
This was an obvious pairing from the get go, with Eren saving her life and growing up together etc, etc which is great and all but as ive said before- it can count for something but you dont owe someone love because of that- but because of how you mutually treat one another
Anyway from what i saw early on in the series was Eren constantly showed irritation from her attentions and there are def instances of resentment of her skill, etc so off the bat i just didn't really vibe with it. Not to say this dynamic couldn't change or grow, so i kept an open mind (altho once Levi & Mikasa vs Annie fight happen i knew my OTP) but as the story progressed i didn't really see their relationship doing so. Still felt incredibly one-sided from Mikasa and more and more i just wanted her to break from this cycle because it was so limiting character development-wise and she had so much potential to shine beyond "ereh ereh ereh". I also struggled to see WHY mikasa felt the way she did as they grew up other than "just because" or a questionable fixation (based on his treatment of her).
What makes me happy about them:
What makes me sad about them:
If Isayama truly had this "epic doomed romance" planned from the beginning...well, to put it simply, he executed it very poorly. And anyone who knows me i am a total angst slut and i LOVE tragic romances- the feels involved when the story conveys the mutual love/proper development that they are so perfect for each other, that they belong together despite everything threatening to tear them apart? And then the moment they (or one) realize that they, together, cannot be??? THATS THE GOOD STUFF AND EVERYONE WAS TOTALLY ROBBED OF IT
Things done in fanfic that annoys me:
I havent read EM but i have read threesome fics with Levi x Mikasa x Eren. The ones i like are when its initially EM but Eren pushes Mikasa into Levi's path because he knows he'll die soon and wants the best for her...because...well, true love is selfless, not selfish (lookin at you ISAYAMA smh). Anyway i have 2 fics on my old smutty rec list if that interests anyone
Things I look for in fanfic:
see above
My wishlist:
As far as this ship goes, just the proper development to truly establish a proper doomed romance. Also an ending where their character arcs aren't trashed completely.
OH and i really wish that weird ch 138 dream/paths cottage sequence (or whatever the eff that was) instead addressed the shitty things he said to her "Ive always hated you, you're a slave etc etc" because was that EVER resolved??? Like im sorry, if homebody said that straight to my face i woulda decked him, or at the least peaced out on my efforts/feelings for him. Think about it- what is the message here??? "Ladies, don't give up on a dude you like even if he treats you like shit...on the OFF CHANCE THAT HE MIGHT BE FAKING HIS FEELINGS TOWARDS YOU????" ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS SHIT???? big yikes/just a huge disservice to mikasa's character/speaks volumes of isayama's warped sense of romance
The scene could have been a PATHs sequence right before the final blow but instead he is so sorry, tells her never meant those things, he did it to drive her away from further hurt/anguish because he thought it would protect her, that despite knowing what she has to do, he had always loved her and always would...wouldnt that have been a better sequence to sell this stupid random af tragic romance plotline??? instead of that cringe af meltdown with ARMIN of all people??? AUGHHH it makes me want to pull my hair out how badly executed it was holy shiiiiiiiiiit
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
LOL an easy one finally!! Mikasa with her smashmate soulmate Levi and Eren with either Historia or Annie
My happily ever after for them:
ehhh ive lost all energy to continue sorry folks
