What do you think of all the dumb hate Eren fans, jaegerists fans, and erehisu fans are getting?

I think hating on people in fandom because of opinions/preferences that are not shared is completely unnecessary, regardless of the perpetrator or group targeted - and to be clear, all ships/characters have a number of fans that are rotten. No group is 100% victim. 

Of course I loathe when Erehisu shippers (for example) encounter hate. I ship it, so it’s not surprising. The same goes for Yumikuri shippers though, even though I don’t particularly enjoy that ship. I don’t like seeing anyone be treated poorly simply because they dared to love or not love something. 

We can disagree about something without hating or harassing people over it. We can be emotionally invested in fictional characters without being jerks. It’s really not that hard.

I read your response as to why you ship (or shipped? Not sure) Reikuri and was wondering if you still feel the same now as you did then? I wasn't sure how long ago you originally responded to that ask so I didn't know if the recent development *cough hisu pregnancy* had changed your opinion? Also wanted to mention that I love Reikuri too so I hope it doesn't seem like I'm being facetious with my ask.

Hello! Ah yes that post is pretty old now. I do still ship Reikuri, though it is no longer my OTP (probably still in my top 5 though). And yeah lol... the pregnancy just about decimated any confidence I might have had about the ship becoming canon. Luckily, I’m a multishipper :) 

And even if nothing becomes canon, we will always have our AUs and canon-divergent imaginings. I live for modern AU Reikuri. 

Thanks for the ask!

Have you returned to Tumblr now?

I’m slowly dipping my feet back in. I’ve been really busy (last 3 weeks of the last class of my degree!) but I’ve been popping in regularly to browse ^_^ 

Thank you for the ask! Hopefully I’ll be creating content again soon. (I have a crazy theory and I will be very mad at myself if I don’t post it somewhere before the next chapter drops.)

Old but why did you change your username?

Sigh… It turns out that shipping some characters as part of a consensual heterosexual relationship is controversial. Since changing my name I’ve been on the receiving end of far less hate and animosity. 

It’s easy to forget that fandom is a place where you are not allowed to simply love things unabashedly.  Intolerance is rampant. I don’t go out of my way to hide what I ship, but I’d rather not advertise that stuff in my username =\

Thank you for the ask =]

What are you shipping the most these days?

I’ve still got my holy trinity of shipping insanity: 

Jeankasa

Erehisu 

Eremika

Yes, I’m shipping Eremika really hard because of the angst. Judge me.

(Of course I ship about a hundred other things too, but these are the favorites at the moment.) 

Thanks for the ask <3

Sorry you got hate. I think I know what ship you're talking about and I think it's adorable. People need to relax and just let other people like what they like.

Thank you! I agree completely. All ships that make someone happy are valid. It takes a lot more energy to get worked up over something harmless than it does to simply live and let live.

I’m curious! Do you happen to ship Levi and Erwin the way they are presented in canon?

Hi there!

I do like Eruri - and I am totally open to that relationship being either romantic or platonic. I think it’s super wholesome no matter which way you prefer to interpret it! It’s hard to think of other ships where so much loyalty and trust can actually be felt between the two characters in canon (Mobuhan is the only one immediately coming to mind), and the complexity of Ackerbonds is also super appealing to me.  

I do have to admit that when it comes to Levi (and plenty of other characters, lets be honest), I can get kinda multishippy. Eruri is my only major Erwin ship, but I have 2 other Levi ships that are very dear to me (Rivetra and Levihan).  

Thanks for the ask!! ^_^
