EREMIKA for life

This tumblr user is a hardcore eremika shipper. I don't usually write a post, mostly just reblogged.

If you haven’t seen this somewhere already:

From bottom up:

サイアイノ　　　Most beloved アナタ　　　　　You

ココデトワニ　　Here eternally イネムリニツク　Have a good sleep Taking a doze

ミカサ or 854　　Mikasa

[via animenb]

EDIT: Ah I was thinking of the wrong kanji. With a little more digging, 居眠り is supposed to refer to dozing off while in a sitting position ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

if eremika not canon then why—

‘thank you for being with me, thank you for teaching me how to live. thank you for wrapping this scarf around me’ ??

why ‘i’ll wrap you up in it again. again and again forever’

why look at younger self n mika like that?

why that face and ‘what am i to you?’

why ‘what if that day i chose another answer?’

why mikasa live in brain rent free?

why described as ‘girl that shows you so much kindness and affection’ + ‘no true reason or ingrained behaviour or compelling impulse. she just likes you so much’

why ‘eren, i want to share the burden of your sins with you’

why 18372992+ other things?

[nhamstory]

I believe in eremika supremacy.

[nhamstory]

Has anyone ever asked yams about “who is the father” topic before? There’re many Q&A he took so I wonder.

[nhamstory]

Stfu who ever saying eren is the father but added I’m not erehisu shipper 🙄😬🤢🤮

[hamliet]

Do you think the narrative is supporting eren?

No. 

At the same time, I want to acknowledge the fact that this chapter was disconcerting and upsetting. Historia’s scene was just No. Everything looks truly hopeless. People are going to feel frustrated, and that is completely fair.  I’m not sure all the panels of destruction were really necessary especially after chapter 131 already covered this. Hence I didn’t find them necessary to reinforce the theme of sacrificing children for the happiness of society. Bad pacing strikes again, and it’s triggering content too, so I think that is gonna upset people. I also agree that the diplomatic options were not explored as well as they could have been (again, partially a pacing thing I think), and that these would have helped the perception and helped reinforce the overall hope of the chapter--because it did leave me with a feeling of hope. 

So, yeah, I really do see hope that Eren will be defeated and the world will go on. If Eren does succeed, I will agree with the idea that it is framed poorly, but it just doesn’t seem to fit with what we have so far. 

(When discussing this answer with a friend, they informed me that this ask is likely in response to @momtaku​‘s post, which I had not seen? Momtaku is a great person and I love reading her posts, but (and I don’t think she’ll mind me saying this!) that obviously I don’t agree with the overall sentiment of the post, but I respect her feelings on this completely and her post provides a lot of food for thought and great points (so go read it!) Please don’t turn this into some kind of fandom meta writers vague thing!) 

So, let’s examine the framing: 

Chapter 83: the protagonist, Eren, tells us directly that Armin is the true hero of the story right before Armin gets resurrected. There is literally nothing to make us doubt that Eren is correct about this. 

Chapter 101: Mikasa, the character who loves Eren most and who embodies the theme of the cruel and beautiful world, tell us Eren is “irredeemable” after Liberio.

Chapter 105: shows us the literal death of one of the friends Eren is trying to save--and Sasha was killed by Gabi, who is drawn to physically resemble and behave like child!Eren. Eren’s actions killed Sasha. 

Chapter 111: child!Eren in Gabi is redeemed. She shows that change is possible for the brainwashed; thus, Eren is wrong that the only solution is mass murder. 

Chapter 112: has Eren lie to Mikasa and Armin in 112, hurting them. Both of Eren’s claims--Armin’s feelings for Annie and Mikasa’s for him--are later exposed as lies that Eren doesn’t even believe. He knows they are lies. Why are we to believe in him when he’s lying to the people closest to him? 

Chapter 113: Eren locks his best friends, the ones he’s trying to protect, up in prison. So much for freedom.

Chapter 119: Eren gets shot by his child!self, aka Gabi.

Chapter 122: Eren’s father begs for someone to stop Eren. 

Chapter 131: Eren hates himself. 

Chapter 133: Eren refuses talk no jitsu. 

Chapter 134: People again start to realize they were wrong--adults, too, so it isn’t just children like Gabi who can change. Eren’s friends are now coming to kill him. Armin, the hero, directly tells Eren that he’s not free. 

As for Eren’s friends being upset and blaming themselves... that is extremely psychologically realistic. I know that it is a popular belief in real life (and in fiction too, like here) that once a person/character is revealed as a villain, loved ones should immediately disavow them. Denial is a part of the grief process, and it is grief people feel, grief for the person/character they thought they knew. Grief is complex. Grief is painful. Grief is contradictory. It often does involve self-blame. Personally, I don’t think their reluctance to kill Eren is muddying the framing, but others might feel differently. 

I have long said the ending will be Mikasa killing Eren with Armin’s directive. That is a terribly sad ending, but I do think the world will continue. People are realizing how terribly wrong they have been (Karina, even if "too little too late” for me). The children are coming: the 104th is there, and Annie, Gabi, and Falco are on their way. 

it’s a bird, it’s a plane... 

The children are the future, remember. Even in this chapter’s pointless cruelty panels, a baby was saved. 

The ending will be cruel, but for me, if the ending doesn’t include Eren winning, then there’s hope and it’s likely to be well-framed. If the world continuing is beautiful to you, then it will likely have some beauty in it, too. If Mikasa killing Eren overshadows the beauty for you--and it will for some--I fully get it.

Very well said!

The reason I dislike the speech is because it is cheesy and unnatural, but I definitely don’t see the narrative supporting Eren or even taking it easy on him. His actions are being roundly condemned. That is the entire point of the horrifying visuals we got in this chapter - to get the reader to sympathize with the victims and not the perpetrator. Meanwhile, Eren is being portrayed as literally the most monstrous and inhuman thing I have ever seen put to paper. I am not concerned that the narrative is humanizing him too much.

I was frustrated with this chapter because it felt like it was wasting time showing us the violence we already knew was happening when there are so many loose ends that still need tying up. But it must have been reiterated here for a purpose, and I think that purpose was to clarify the message being delivered in the speech - not that anybody deserves what is happening to them right now, only that hatred begets hatred. It’s simply an observation and a lament, not justification.

And I agree that ultimately, this chapter points toward a hopeful ending, both cruel and beautiful.

[momtaku]

@safflora and @hamliet, I agree with a lot of what you are both saying and all your excellent points. This is an anti war anti genocide manga. I know this. My concern is more that the messaging is clumsy. By not showing alternatives the manga is presenting genocide as something that was unavoidable. I reject that. The speech from the general at Fort Salta could be interpreted as those men women and children gathered there being responsible for this genocide or else having deserved it. I reject that message as well. I don’t think either of those is the intended message. I just wish the narrative would do more to make that clear.

I think too maybe our definitions of what constitutes a “cruel but beautiful” ending must differ. With the amount of death we’ve seen and Eren portrayed as a monster who will likely be killed by his loved ones, I struggle to find a path to beauty in that. The crowd working to save an infant life is officially beautiful but unless there is a miraculous save the majority of those in the crowd including that baby are dead in a matter of moments anyway. Goodness and humanity has been abundant throughout the manga but at moment it’s getting mercilessly trampled on a widespread and global level. I just can’t see what beauty will be left. The SC selflessly trying to stop Eren is beautiful but if the majority of mankind is already dead by the time they succeed, It’s nothing but a tragedy. I hope that’s not how it ends.

Anyway, just wanted to chime in. I’m looking forward to reading more of your thoughts. Maybe it will help snap me out of the gloom this chapter cast over my vision of this series.
