Quick? Yes Understandable? Also Yes

I'm seeing a fair few skeptics of the Freylin ship. Mainly it seems because of how fast Merlin seems to fall for Freya/they seem to fall for each other.

While I do understand the point of view. I'd like to put in my two cents of defense.

Put yourself in Merlin's shoes. Your in a place where the very thing your born with is illegal. Only one other person knows about you and even they are cautious around it. You live in fear of being found out and bury emotions every single day. You have no one you can really talk to or relax around. You always have to hide a part of yourself.

Then you meet this person this girl who not only would have a longer life span as a Druid. So would be able to grasp you being immortal. But also:

She has magic to

You finally have a person you don't have to hide from. Who understands your fear. Who understands your feeling of being an outsider/monster. Who you can show the beauty of your magic where no one else sees it.

All of us outcasts who see ourselves in Merlin...can we REALLY say WE WOULDN'T fall in love almost instantly in that situation as well? If we found a person who accepted us, who understood us, who saw the good in us rather than the 'evil'?

Also I would like to point out that I don't believe 2x09 simply took place over one day. We know that there was at least one night that Merlin brought Freya food. Plus at least one day for him to sneak the dress he got to her. It wasn't a real 'love at first sight.' Conversations did happen.

Bottom line:

Did Freylin fall for each other quickly? Yes. But is it UNDERSTANDABLE that they would? ALSO YES.

So, I noticed some common themes when it comes to canon ships in The Dragon Prince:

The himbo whose significant other is 5000% Done with their nonsense.

Ships where one person was the other’s prisoner at some point due to reasons, and heavy sexual tension ensued.

And ships that had all the Casual Contact at the end of “The Final Battle.”

In conclusion, Sorvus is a thing. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

So I know I've probably made enough "Eremika isn't incest" posts, but I was thinking about something the other day. 

In Fullmetal Alchemist, after Ed and Al's parents are both gone and their house is burned down, Pinako and Winry basically take them in. They both have known Winry for their whole lives, so she's practically like a sister to them. Whenever they come home, home is Winry's house. After the Promised Day, Ed and Al live with them for a steady period of time.

Yet, everyone seemed to ship Edward and Winry...(I myself am a hardcore Edwin shipper). So even though they lived together for all those years and considered each other like family ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has ever called Edwin incest. NO ONE had a problem with them being canon because oH MY GOD THEY LIVED TOGETHER WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE JUST LIKE A FAMILY HOLY SHIT!!!

So then WHY do people think Eremika is incest?! Unlike Edward and Winry, Eren and Mikasa didn't grow up together. They met when they were nine years old. Unlike Edward and Winry, Eren and Mikasa lived together for a year.

If Edwin isn't incest, (which it sure as hell isn't) then neither is Eremika.
