I'm being fully serious and honest when I say I am not trying to be rude or offensive but I have a genuine question to ask: you mock and belittle l*vihan shippers on twitter all the time, right? I also don't ship them so that's not my point here but it's a bit ironic that whenever you ask an eruri fan about their ship, they always make excuses and avoid the main question about why their ship is considered "almost canon" or even "mutual". Whenever you ask an Eruri about for receipts it's always Levi said this and Levi did that. I am sure no one needs any proof or explanation for Levi's feelings, even if one doesn't think he was in love with Erwin (I 100% believe he was) they still can't deny how much Levi cared about Erwin and held him to a high regard. But all those questions are never about Levi's side. It's the Erwin side of your ship that's questionable. Nothing in canon and I say NOTHING indicates that Erwin loved Levi or saw him as someone more than a good comrade, right hand man or friend. Nothing. When you ask the Erwin side of their ship Eruris always avoid the question and make it all about Levi again. We know he loves Erwin that's not the discussion. Erwin never shows the worry care or protectiveness Levi shows for him. "But Erwin didn't want to risk Levi's ankle" yes because he's his best soldier why would he risk him when he knows he won't be useful with a fucked up ankle? "Erwin sacrificed himself to save Levi" no he knew that chances of Levi's plan succeeding was so low, that Zeke would kill Levi quickly from a distance before Erwin and Eren could escape, and Erwin was already depressed enough to consider dying so he made the logical decision, none of those decisions were made "selflessly" for Levi and Levi only (his sacrifice was huge but my point is, it wasn't for Levi), they were just part of his plans. I don't say Erwin didn't care about Levi, he clearly did but he never showed signs of caring about Levi more than he cared about Hange or Mike. He's the best written character in AoT this isn't a Erwin or Eruri hate but you are all making Erwin something he's not and then talk trash about other ships. Levi and Hange cared about each other mutually on the other hand. Erwin would never protect and take care of Levi the way Hange did in that forest. Hange and Levi's relationship wasn't romantic in my opinion but they did care about each other and their frienship was mutual. Long story short Levi was in love with Erwin and Erwin only saw him as a good captain and friend and Levi and Hange are best friends. You trash talk the other ship but yours is very much one-sided.

The first line of your message is literally longer than Lebihan's development and Hanji's backstory combined.

“He felt cold wetness rolling down his face, down his arms and legs. Blood. Their blood.” - decided to post my erwin art here because i like it. the quote is from a fic i wrote (so yes i made fanart for my own fanfic) the quote takes place right before his death in my fic

My first fanart drawing of aot, made it 2021 in dec. I see a lot of mistakes now, but it still means a lot to me :’)🩷

It's really interesting that Eruri is living its golden age? I was in and out of the fandom for years and I agree, Eruri is at its most popular days right now. The amount of fics and merch and new fans we get every day is insane. But it's also weird because why is it suddenly so popular? After all those years, Erwin is dead and Levi was absent from most of the S4 and lost some of his popularity I presume? But I see more Levi (and Erwin despite being dead) fans every day. I wonder if it's because AoT is about to end and people want to be a part of this hype so they start watching AoT and they like Erwin and Levi so much? Even people who don't ship Eruri really appreciate their friendship in the anime.

I definitely agree that there are new fans coming to SnK as the series draws to a close, and former fans who are returning for the sake of nostalgia and to find out how the story ends. Levi remains an enduringly popular character and if you love Levi, it's very hard to ignore his relationship with Erwin. As you said yourself, even people who don't ship Erwin and Levi appreciate their friendship, because their character arcs are bound together by the plot.

However I think a large part of the continued popularity of Eruri is due to the fandom itself. Erwin and Levi are a very good looking ship, with the kind of tragic story that we all love and enough canon content to fuel endless creativity. The Eruri fandom has always been blessed by incredible artists and amazing writers, who generate the kind of gorgeous content that even bigger fandoms can only dream of. I've certainly come across many fans who discovered Eruri through fic and art, and only later went on to watch the anime or read the manga. I've also come across some who have no interest at all in canon and whose whole experience of the ship is mediated through fan art and fic. That can certainly result in some "interesting" takes on their characterisation. One of my friends did a survey of the fandom a while back and it was fascinating to get a glimpse of other people's experience of the Eruri fandom.

The continued appearance of new Eruri merch is perhaps more prosaic. Erwin and Levi are really popular characters, both individually and together, and the Eruri ship, and Erwin in particular, has an older fanbase with significant spending power. As long as fans are happy to continue spending their money, and the merch keeps selling out, companies are going to keep producing it.

Whatever the reason for Eruri's enduring popularity, I sincerely hope it continues for many years to come.
