RIVAMIKA ENDGAME

No matter how my ships are not endgame in a show, I just know that if the characters are real, in years time, THEY WILL END UP TOGETHER

Part 1 of Shirbert & Rivamika Parallels

Okay so @gilly-bj said in a post: "the only Gilbert I could think about was Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables and I noticed that RM has parallels also with Gilbert x Anne so... nothing just wanted to share my discovery with you ;)"

Do we all have the same ships 😂 swear to god we’re cut from the same cloth. Imma just say it, RivaMika shippers are fucking intellectuals, big brains. I noticed a lot of my ships parallel each other, so here's me paralleling them.

Shirbert is the OTP of all OTPs everyone. My God was I obsessed with this ship since I was young watching 1980s Anne of Green Gables. And again in 2018 for Anne with an E. And when Season 3 came out, that was a blast simultaneously theorizing and clowning (exp. the pen). If you haven't watched Anne with an E, I highly you do so, it has so much heart to it. Shirbert is one of my few ships that is actually canon, and I was literally a mess when I witnessed the moment they got together: my family paused the TV cause I was jumping for joy, turning red, laughing and crying. Shirbert is the motherfucking blueprint of

Rivals to Lovers, Slow Burn Romance

here are a few parallels from the top of my head:

Starting off on the wrong foot (Source: RM)

(mayhaps in one of her imaginings Mikasa was doing this to Levi)

The Hostility (Source: AG, RM)

(edit: changed AWAE gif cause this one fits much better. Anne's words are quite laughable cause it is the complete opposite of how things panned out for Anne or Mikasa. How I love irony and using hate as a front for enemies to lovers.)

The Staring, The Pining (Source: RM, x)

(Super sad there's a 10 image limit :(((. I didn't fully realize how much RivaMika stared at each other. And that would take up so much space lmao. So here's:

PART 2

So do you agree? And were there parallels I forgot? Feel free to add them. Let me know what you think. (I spent far more time then I care to admit on this so I hope you enjoyed it.)

Part 2 of Shirbert & Rivamika Parallels

Part 1

Once again made in response to @gilly-bj post.

Heartbreaking Moment (very different tones) (AG, RM)

Teamwork (RM: 1, 2, 3)

(okay so I can't include every single moment rivamika were a team but here are a few)

Heart to Heart (AG, RM)

Lastly, I'd like to add Anne&Gilbert and Anne with an E is one piece of media that has thankfully shaped my outlook on love. Anne says these words in Season 2 Episode 8:

“Remember when I wanted to be a bride but not a wife. I think I need to reimagine the whole marriage-wedding thing. Well it isn’t just about one brief shining moment in white or saying I do...

We will be equals and partners, not just husband and wife…

I’ve come up with a new name for both parties together because I believe that they should be named the same. Life-mate. Instead of a marriage I shall call it a love bond and any two people can have one.”

This truly stuck with me. And the ships that have this type of love, seeing each other as EQUALS and PARTNERS. Those are the ships I gravitate towards: when two people are equals, they balance each other out, and they can help each other to grow. They bring out the best in each other. It's a huge part of why I ship rivamika because they have demonstrated this throughout their development and they have the potential to have more.

THE ENDGAME

RIVAMIKA WHEN ???!!! But I guess...

"Tragical romance and all?" "Remains to be seen."

I'm not at all expecting it to happen in canon, but a girl can dream. I'd also like to add what Aunt Josephine says in Season 3 Episode 8:

I've never bought into that you-just-know notion. Love is a tricky thing. Sometimes it feels like an undeniable force that hits between the eyes and doesn’t let up. Other times, it’s malleable, questionable. It’s truth hidden in and amongst external obstacles and internal circumstances that formed who you are, what you expect in the world, and how you can accept love. Oh, to say the least, it’s complicated. And if a mind’s abuzz with pressure and deadlines and “what if this and that,” I imagine love’s truth would be a near-impossible thing to feel. I wonder if, when all's quiet in your mind, you'll find your answer." -- Aunt Jo

And I'll just throw this in for good measure as it was part of my favourite quotes. (wow the hopeless romantic in me truly did pop out right now)

"A marriage makes two fractional lives a whole; it gives two purposeless lives a work and doubles the strength of each to perform it; it gives two questioning natures a reason for living and something to live for; it will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life.”  — Mark Twain

And that's the potential I see in rivamika. So who's really winning the ship that was questionably declared canon with one dead. (sweetie its not canon) Or the ship that has a million possibilities, who has a strong foundation to build upon. And the beauty of fandom is all of us can create our own endgames a million times over.

So do you agree? And what parallels did I forget? Feel free to add them. And let me know what you think! (I spent far more time then I care to admit on this so I hope you enjoyed it.)
