Why do you hate ereri?????
there’s this ship
They met a long time ago.
Back before the hell began.
Even when it began, it remained.
It was hardened by trials of fire and flame and smoke, dry and cracking burnt flesh and bone.
But it survived.
It survived because two beautiful souls, troubled and trying to be moral, but living in a harsh reality in which sacrifices must be made for freedom, for hope, and that includes lives and ethics
they know one another better than anyone else. they know one another so well they cast aside any pretense of social or physical distance.
they have their own language.
they share the same dream.
Other people see it.
One character himself.
Has even commented. On the fact that they have their “own language.”
They’ve been through a lot together.
They love each other. They support one another.
Their dream means something. It carries the entire manga. The ENTIRE manga is based on THIS moment
I looked into your eyes and saw I wasn’t free.
I was born into this world.
The world?
Which you didn’t see until
Ok.
Platonic or not.
There is no denying there is a great love there.
Something truly beautiful that draws on friendship and intimacy so casual, so normal that neither even thinks about it as strange. It’s as unremarkable as breathing, like sharing lungs, a heart. He inhales, the other exhales.
A relationship you’ve seen before, but never like this.
Not like this.
And yet.
The attack on titan fandom.
In its wisdom and literary comprehension.
Decides this is the canon ship.
This is the ship we should praise.
this is the relationship with the most heart, depth, and reality.
This is our most beautiful, meaningful, and most popular relationship.
This one.
And this one?
Well.
Whatever, I guess.
