literally the easiest way to make someone care about a character and make them feel well-rounded beyond basic traits like personality, sexuality, ethnicity, etc, is to give them an actual character arc, and it’s shocking how many people do not seem to fully realize this
you cannot just cram a bunch of tropes. tropes are not the main event, they are tools to tell the story you wish to tell. emotional impact comes from the lead up, so you can’t just jump ahead and expect the payoff to work. “I want this character to just ___ already!” but they’re not there yet. that’s where the arc comes in - how do they get there?
and! most importantly, and this is something I really want people to think about when writing - the most important relationship your character should have, always, is with the world and society around them. defining your character purely through their interactions with other characters are, I find, how a lot of female characters end up feeling flat or not engaging with the themes as much as the male characters, and also how queer and non-white characters wind up as devices for other characters’ development instead of being more fleshed out

part of why sam is so complex and interesting as a character is because he always has to face the dilemma of whether he should get away from dean & hunting and find a safe, separate life and be his own person, but also he knows he’s obligated to stay with dean which is fueled by his guilt and his belief that he owes him after everything dean’s sacrificed for him

i need to share my very horrible idea to combine the reinhard/julius/otto/subaru boy drama into one julius-centric fic
ok so a little while ago ive made all kinds of ottojuli and reinjuli posts and while i havent finished all my major julisuba posts Yet i am quite fond of julisuba also and i think itd be incredibly funny if you just dumped all of these ships into one story. just go ALL IN on that boy drama!!!! go big or go home amirite!!!! the worlds WORST love trapezoid youve ever seen!!!!
this post is just me rambling fic ideas bc i sadly dont have time for Every Fic Idea and also i just. i just think itd be funny putting multiple ships with the same person in them into one fic. on a serious level its like mimicking real life relationships where sometimes people come and go and you have different dynamics with each person!! on another level i just think this is also very funny so!! here we go. under the cut:
anyway so my idea for this is that you know, julius of course meets reinhard when hes ten and reinhard is eight and then it alters julius's brain chemistry. at first he's in complete awe of reinhard. and then over time the shame starts setting in. that julius isnt as strong as reinhard. and the jealousy sets in a bit too, so julius's got this chip in his shoulder trying to carry his family's legacy and trying to carry the weight of knighthood to be as perfect as possible. to be as close to reinhard as he can. they meet again in their teens and julius shows reinhard the ropes of like basic knight stuff bc reinhard just joined the knights. and of course reinjuli become friends but julius has spent his whole life quietly watching reinhard from afar and now julius still has that distance with reinhard even as theyre supposedly friends now. reinhard is a God, you know? his powers and his leash from the kingdom and his family keep him distant and the two of them are ignoring that. classic homoerotic "do i want him or want to be him" friendship where both of you are too scared to get any closer for various reasons with a Twist (reinhard's very real monster complex that keeps getting validated bc Everyone Around Him thinks hes a monster).
anyway but then julius remembers that you know, shit between reinhard and him wont work out for many reasons, like reinhards family deciding to torment julius at various points in his life (heinkel, whos julius's boss, and reid, who went from julius's childhood idol to. you know.), and also reinhard needs to have kids because hes the sword saint, and also homophobia exists in rezero. and also even if those werent all obstacles julius still has his Complexes connected to reinhard and they got that distance between them so. no go. (repression gets in the way of relationships :((( )
also quick side note is that ex 4 happens and julius reinhard ferris go to vollachia and julius interrupts a meeting with vincent vollachia himself to go "I UNDERSTOOD THAT LITERARY REFERENCE YOU JUST MADE. THATS A REALLY GOOD REFERENCE I LIKED IT A LOT" bc hes a massive nerd and ig this is slightly-more-of-a-disaster-gay julius au so julius is like ............................. vincent was kinda cool for that.
AND THEN SUBARU CRASHES INTO JULIUS'S LIFE and julius is like seeing this guy who's also got a chip in his shoulder and then he insults the knights and says the knights are all depending on their dads (nepotism) and julius is like .......the chip in my shoulder was bad enough and also youre kinda like me fr. and you are clearly a fucking misguided kid so now i have to save your ass. i cant NOT save your ass. and reinhards like "julius and subaru nooo you dont have to do this :((((" and julius cant admit atm that hes also doing this to save subarus life so julius is just like "he disrespected the knights >:(((("
but yes we all know what happened there. julius saves subarus life. julius has to slice subarus throat in that one failed loop. they become friends across several timelines. they also homoerotically share souls, you know, typical bromance things, rivals to lovers except subarus the one going YOURE MY RIVAL and julius is like he is SUCH an upstart. hes really grown on me like a fungus but thats the appeal. and julius i think sees subaru as like a kindred spirit (or at least thats how i interpret julisuba) except subaru is like way more freer than julius is. same desire to prove yourself but subarus not restraining himself constantly like julius. its sometimes to the point of recklessness and general stupidity and what have you, but his boldness and bravery and determination and heart really is admirable.........................
yeah so anyway julius falls for ANOTHER guy again, you know how it is sometimes. the heart wants what it wants and julius is cursed to always have the worst meetings with his closest friends. and of course julius gets heartbroken bc wtf i have to kill my new friend :((( noo!!!! but in the finished loop its like. oh subaru...... hes really improved himself. hes grown so much already. hes kind of. inspirational really. idk how he does it. except subarus you know got that Mystery to him the same way reinhard does (theyre traumatized and Cant Take About It Normally so they just randomly lore drop what they can) and also subarus SUPER into emilia. and julius is like .................... well. subarus taken. haha. and reinhards. taken. fuck me. fuck. and like somethings going on with subaru and rem and emilia right. fuck. and subarus got his whole toxic masculinity / gender crisis..... and he doesnt know hes Bisexual yet...... man. what a loss for julius amirite haha.
and also subarus busy after arc 3........... and julius has no idea whats happening there but that seems Real serious :(( and julius's got other things to attend to so he hopes subaru reaches out to him eventually..... or that they cross paths again since subarus in the emilia camp and julius is in ana camp (and of course reinhard is in felt camp and like that was a whole debacle bc wtf. reinhard, u do know thatd be a big deal to our mutual friend felix?). so. julius pines from afar ONCE AGAIN HAHA.
(also of course subarus still attracted to reinhard here. its um. well julisuba can bond now over pining over reinhard but thats for later also!!)
anyway of course during arc 3 julius briefly runs into some gray haired merchant twink thats being dragged around by subaru bc ana camp rescued this guy from a cave somewhere??? and this new guy and subaru made a deal or whatever so he was just helping out in the background of the fight against sloth??
and whaddya know................ julius goes to drink at a bar bc you know he probably tastes wine for fun in his free time (hes definitely Fond of wine anyway iirc) and now hes Sad over the Ones That Got Away so. bar it is. and gray haired merchant twink is there!! no way. they start talking a bit casually while drinking you know and julius's taste is Unfortunately either the graceful ones (anastasia, because julius has great taste in women) or the cringe fail ones (all the twinks - except for felix - that julius keeps having the wildest first meetings with, because julius has slightly shit taste in men) so julius is like huh this otto guys kinda funny lol. endearing in a weird way!! and -
oops they both end up being a little. they make a little bit of a move on each other. bc they were drinking and got a Bit tipsy. ottos Also not over the one that got away (subaru) (again) and hey. the finest knight truly is. Fine. objectively fine. totally. so you know. things get a little out of hand, maybe they do a bit of cringe fail flirting hidden underneath five million layers of repression and the Horrors of Being Known but ultimately they both embarrass themselves somehow (read: how far they went with each other while under the influence is up to you) and agree to Never Speak of This Again bc oopsies they were both technically each other's first time being Straightforwardly Not Straight with another man. oops. anyway julius has to go back to his camp and otto fucking bolts but he bolts right into subaru and gets his ass dragged into sanctuary drama.
julius is totally not a little bit envious about that.................... about otto getting to accompany subaru to sanctuary... but dont worry julius!! youll get to make up for it later!! bc eventually arc 5 stuff happens. and julius is Glad to see reinhard and subaru again. even with all the Baggage. and subaru is of course Weird about julius but eventually subaru reassures julius after they both confide in each other about the astrea drama (theyre honorary astreas via being dragged into the astrea family mess). and subarus reassuring to julius in a whole new way okay. subaru, whos unrestrained and incapable of being on the down low about anything, and julius, whos always holding himself back with a gazillion layers of repression, starts learning to let go a bit...
but also juliotto meet again. its terribly awkward and they both agreed to never speak of their awkward encounters again. subaru is going ??? and reinhard is clueless. otto then also goes to save reinhard and felt from heinkel trying to take felt hostage, which was also terribly awkward but reinhard and felt are grateful about it (but lbr if reinhard and otto knew each other deeper reinhard would maybe be a little. Apprehensive. around otto while otto would be sympathetic with reinhard bc hes like male emilia). but then while otto manages not to get erased by gluttony....... julius gets erased. of course. which you know results in being forgotten by reinhard in julius's THIRD first meeting ever with reinhard. and subarus the only one who remembers him of course.
then arc 6 happens :,))))) and julius of course has to confront his ideas of knighthood, his identity, his self esteem, and who he is outside of His Name. and also julius gets his ass beat by reid. his childhood idol. who reinhard KNEW was a shitty person but never ever told julius (whether this is because reinhard wanted to spare julius's hero worship or because reinhard never got the chance to tell julius is hard to say lajdsf). but julius does get to triumphantly win in the end!! grow as a person!!! learn to undo a bit of that repression and not hold himself to impossible standards all the time!! hes growing still!!! hes finally solidified his friendships with people like subaru and emilia!! hes remaking his relationship with anastasia!! hes asserted himself, hes planning on going to meet reinhard again one day and duel him!! things are looking up even if its still bittersweet that he doesnt have his name back yet!! does this mean?? perhaps?? a HAPPY ENDING?? julius can have the two men (reinhard and subaru) he admires the most in his life?????? as friends???? or as boyfriends?????? slowburn mutual pining????????????????????????????????????????
and then comes. arc 8 otto. that piece of shit.
julius is very much someone who has to grapple with the weight of the expectations that people throw at him. and also reinhard is someone who May envy julius a bit, but there's also you know, joshua and subaru with the Explicit Envy and (past) resentment because theyre placing heavy expectations on julius!! theyre pointing blame at julius!! julius is trying to find himself outside of stuff like that, especially after arc 6, but he's still got stuff to work on you know? he still has duties to fulfill!! loyalty that he has to act on bc hes gotta help subaru and co in arc 8!! and then in comes otto.
otto is also someone with expectation placed on him, but its Different. ottos mostly a nobody and when hes Not a nobody, his reputation tends to be Derogatory. hes a menace. hes a bad luck charm. hes grappling with the fact that he has to keep being left behind - post-arc 5 bc he was injured, but also repeatedly during arcs 7 and 8 because hes too physically weak to be on the same playing field as emilia or garfiel or subaru on the battlefield. he feels Useless after placing his identity on the expectation that hes Dependable and Useful.
julius is a bit more on even ground with otto now that julius is. also mostly a nobody bc his name is still gone. and also julius had to deal with having that part of his identity crushed. julius tried to be useful over and over in arc 6 only to get his ass repeatedly curb stomped by reid in the beginning. he was a nobody. he wasnt dependable anymore. and also otto is that one guy he had a Passing Fling with over having The Ones Who Got Away and julius was still vaguely hopeful about maybe being pals at least but ottos brushed him off a bit since arc 5. theyre like each others secrets you know? and now otto doesnt know that shit - julius is the only one who Knows - and otto also hates julius's fucking guts now. over SUBARU. and julius has been through this whole rodeo clown circus with arc 3 subaru so this is an absolutely terrible ride through memory lane.
and this is julius's THIRD twink that hates him for terribly unfair reasons. julius is very tired and a bit heartbroken in this au trying to pretend it doesnt bother him. on one level it doesnt. bc ottos pathetic and clearly Overcompensating for Something. on another level it kinda does bc julius had a Thing going with otto. and otto is the complete opposite of julius. like hes different from the other guys julius has liked.
julisuba is about complimentary opposites - they appear Extremely Different at first glance but theyre very similar. theyre people who try to look and act bigger than they are, people who keep reaching to be The Best, to be Perfect, because theyre overcompensating. theyre worried their entire identity is only built off of trying to be bigger than the shadow that other people in their lives (like their families) cast. but they cant reach perfection. and julius is like subaru but if subaru tried to really make himself "refined" - if he tried to stop putting his heart on his sleeve all the time. reinsuba are very similar too. theyre very refined knights who try to keep themselves in check at all times while the weight of the world is on their shoulders. they cant have a hair out of place. except julius is like the "smaller" version of reinhard. julius is less powerful. its like comparing a human and a "god" - reinhard, whos untouchable. but its a double edged sword, because julius gets to be a normal person, because half the expectation placed on him is also purely from himself, while reinhard isnt. reinhard isnt Free. hes on a leash by the kingdom and his family. julius even gets his kind of "celebrity" status stolen from him via the loss of his name. hes truly kind of Normal now - julius is like if reinhard didnt have his crazy abilities and had a little more of a chance to be free.
otto? yeah otto is. very very far from all of that. hes so obviously imperfect that most of his reputation, when its brought up, is just him being known as a mess who's caused various forms of chaos everywhere he goes. either that or hes just. There. Invisible. very very average. and otto is someone who wants a nice comfortable life, someone who wants to fit in - julius and subaru arent Exactly like that, and while reinhard also wants to be normal, ottos the one who has more of an opportunity. but he doesnt. because otto Dooms Himself by being recklessly cutthroat. otto is like if subaru was just. More of an asshole, so ottojuli would just be a rather Extreme Challenge for julius to have to deal with HAH. and normally otto is someone who repays how people treat him - a very "you treat me like this, i'll treat you the same way in turn" kind of deal, except ottos developed a vendetta against julius and its basically like if subaru never let go of his arc 3 julius vendetta.
yes so anyway. etc etc stuff probably happens but i ran out of ideas lajdlfjasdf i just think combining ALL the boy drama and recontextualizing + adding to canon would be. batshit crazy. and terribly entertaining. im so sorry julius but i want to see you crack a bit under the pressure. reinjuli as a ship is like tragic gay yearning that never goes anywhere past being friends with quiet homoerotic tension, then julisuba is. you know. extreme rivals to lovers, starts out Rough but then ends up being super super sweet and theyre Trying their best underneath the self esteem issues. and then ottojuli is. toxic yaoi at its finest (pun intended). you get Every flavor of mlm possible!!
ok so you may be asking "ok what would you even name this fic then" and to that i say that this would be called To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
anyway i really wanna write this idea someday ill inform you guys (if youre reading this and are Interested) if it ever happens :< so. in conclusion this is just julius the entire time throughout all of these events:

I wonder what it must have been like for Dazai and Chuuya, after all those years apart.
Because they are Dazai and Chuuya, Soukoku, two bodies harboring one soul and yet they both must have realized that after four years apart when they look at the person who understands them better than anyone else in the world, they are looking at a stranger.
How must it have felt to realize that the person who was molded and raised to be your other half no longer fits in the space that was carved out specifically for them and nobody else?
It probably stings. To realize that someone else was given the opportunity to round down those dangerously sharp edges into something warmer and softer and better (that person was not you. Never you. Because you are only perfect when you are angry and sharp and broken together. Because they trusted you enough to know them but not enough to save them)
It probably hurts to see your other half flourishing. To see them doing better than they ever have before and it’s specifically because you weren’t there. (They are better off without you. Because you left. Because you didn’t trust them enough. Because you didn’t give them a chance to be better with you)
It must be frightening to realize that the one thing that you thought would never change morphed into something you no longer recognize when you weren’t looking.
It must be frustrating to realize that everything is the same as it always was and yet will never be the same as it ever was.
It must be difficult to have felt like you moved on only to realize you’re still stuck with one foot in the past.
The person before you is someone you trust with your mind, body, and soul and yet they are a stranger to you.
The person before you acts in all the ways you expect them too right up until the moment they don’t and then suddenly you are left feeling lost.
They are Soukoku and they are partners but they do not know each other. They have spent more time apart than they ever did together. They are Dazai and Chuuya but neither knows what that means anymore.
(But in the end it doesn’t matter because they are Dazai and Chuuya and that is all they ever needed. They may not know each other but they can learn. And now? Now that they are no longer trapped by circumstance? No longer forced to carve out pieces of themselves to fit another? Now that that are both here and they are trying? Now that they are choosing to be partners despite having to relearn everything about each other?
Now they have become something more and better than anyone ever would have thought possible)

For the ask game
What do you think would happen in an au where the batfam are ALL dating, how do think they react to people harassing dick all the time like in canon? and maybe they discover about all the times he's been raped, how do you think they'd react?
for the ask game!
BATFAMILY POLYCULE. i love this so much and i love the exploration of Dick's canon sexual assault
so of the three main instances of Dick's assault trauma, all of them are *very* different situations, meaning they'd be reacted to very differently. starting with Liu: canonically Liu grooms Dick when he's underaged and he supposedly loses his virginity to her. so i would have the Batfamily get together as a like, polycule properly after this happens. maybe there was some flirting and feelings with BruDick or DickBabs, but nothing quite came to fruition because of all the conflict they had in this era. and that conflict is what Liu takes advantage of to sink her teeth into Dick, using the distance he and Bruce have against him. i don't think Dick would tell anyone for a *long* time. he'd sort of blame himself for it, for trusting her in the first place and he'd insist it was consensual when it finally gets brought up because someone makes a joke about who took Dick's virginity and Dick has to admit it was none of them. i think it's fun if they find out after Liu is dead. because it's easier to grapple with, when you have someone to point the anger at, someone to go beat up and force a confession out of so they can all convince Dick that it wasn't his fault. but if she's dead they just have to live with it, especially Dick. and no matter how many long conversations are had, Dick is always going to hold onto that part of him that believes he was at fault. which spurns on some very protective, almost obsessively so, feelings toward him from the Batfamily. no one wants to leave him alone and they're hypervigilante around him, to the point he has to remind them all he can handle himself.
the second time is Mirage: which, was a whole shitshow of a canon storyline, but the interesting part is she disguises herself as Kory to sleep with Dick. (also she tries to change things about him like his hair and his suit, things he's very attached to, just so he can fit her image of a perfect man) so if the Batfam are all dating each other, it's far more likely she'd disguise herself as one of them to sleep with him. i think Tim is the most fun option. Dick and Bruce *know* each other very well, Dick and Babs have a history, but Tim's newer to the whole dynamic. it's easier to impersonate him because Dick might not know him as well and play off the "shy new to sex" teenager routine. after all the truth comes out, Dick is horrified and once again blaming himself for not noticing until after it happened. she pulls the same controlling tactics, trying to change things about Dick until someone points it out. Dick is apologetic about the whole thing but everyone's pissed and now, there's a target. Bruce gets Mirage removed from the Titans and completely disenfranchised from hero society, if not completely put in prison. Tim is trying to comfort Dick through it and insist he's not angry at Dick. i think for a while it'd stunt any sex from Dick, just because he's so stressed and touchy about a repeat. no one pushes him but once again, everyone is protective over him and this time, he's more receptive to letting it happen just because of how much it fucked him up.
and then, of course Tarantula: that entire storyline is just. interesting because so much of it focuses on Dick trying to save Catalina and trying to redeem her as a person. so with the death of Blockbuster, followed by her taking advantage of him and raping him so openly breaks him down in a lot of ways beyond just the physical aspect of it. this technically happens before Jason is back from the dead, but i think putting it after Jason's return is fun, just to witness Jason's response to it. because he would *want* to kill Catalina, more than anything, for how body she broke Dick, but Dick wouldn't want that. more than anything he would see her being killed as them being just as as bad as her and not breaking the cycle. it's a difficult thing to grapple with your anger over someone hurting your loved one when you want to take action they don't, because you have to put your love for them over your anger for the people who've hurt them. which i think would be especially difficult for Jason. no matter what Bruce or Tim or Babs or Cass do, it isn't enough to satisfy what he thinks Catalina deserves and i think that could be fun conflict. protectiveness can be taken too far when you treat the person you're protecting like they have no agency, and since this has happened three times now, everyone wants to make sure it doesn't happen again while also trying to respect Dick's autonomy. it's messy and he knows they're coming from a place of love. that's the fun of everyone in the Batfam dating, he has a lot of partners who all love him and sometimes, that can be suffocating. but overall? it's safe. there's something relieving to know he's not going to be alone through the worst of facing the emotional aftermath and he always has someone to lean on, someone to hold him in bed. it makes him more open to asking for comfort/help when he needs it.
as for more general harassment that isn't specific to any canon circumstance but just the general mindset of heroes in DC, that's where i think the Batfam would rlly get protective. if someone makes a comment about Dick's ass, assumes he's a slut, etc, they're going to play dirty to protect him. Babs is hacking their personal devices for blackmail. Cass will hit a lot harder in "sparring" sessions. Tim and Bruce will quietly remove people from hero teams for "logistical reasons". and Jason will just shoot people. he can't get away with killing heroes, but if some sleazy villain or henchman makes a comment well, no one has to know *that's* why Jason put a bullet in their head. bu the time Damian comes around and is filled in on all of it, he's just as defensive of Dick, if not the *most* defensive. he's got the spirit a little too strong, forgetting to respect Dick's boundaries in the process. a lot of heroes end up socially ex-communicated for their comments about Dick. god forbid if they actually try to get handsy with him. some new recruit grabbed Dick's ass "as a joke" and Cass put them through a wall before Dick even processed what happened. villains like Deathstroke or Raptor who try to get possessive around Dick are handled with more brutality than Batman and Robin are typically known for.
Dick does eventually figure out all the things his love ones are doing behind the scenes. he's exasperated because really, he's used to this. it's been like this since he was a circus kid, always on stage and putting on a show. but it's a little nice, deep down, to be protected like that. he would preen *just a little* about it, even if he's outwardly scolding them for it. and hey, it's a fun couple bonding activity for the others to get closer to each other by coming up with ways to get revenge on Dick's harassers. so really, everyone wins. they all make sure it won't happen to Dick again, and end up closer for it on a united front.

Think with me here: it makes sense for a non-book reader?
If it does than the writers were successful in telling a story (if it’s good or bad it’s up to your tastes)
Why is there no food on the city if they can get food from the Reach by land?
The medieval transport of goods by sea vs by land is vastly different (the sea is faster and allows the food to arrive less spoiled) and we see and are told that food IS arriving but is being sent mostly to the palace (hello Criston cleaning your sword with a good lemon while the common people have to deal with spoiled food)
Why they riot in favor of Rhaenyra when she and her faction is the reason for the blockade and their hunger just because she gave some food?
Because starvation does not make you rational. Your royals that you grew up being told are closer to gods than men are warring with each other and you are collateral damage.
You are starving. There is the few fish you can get in the bay but is not enough for a whole city. The prices are skyrocketing because of scarcity and the dragons eat the sheep that you have
The royals didn’t give much of a shit before and now that they are at war they give even less of a shit now
Until the boats
For the starving, any food is worth it
Look how Rhaenyra is generous! Even in the middle of war she thinks of us! (Mysaria was really cunning here)
They throw fish guts at the dowager queen, the only part of the fish they can’t eat
Or maybe it’s a whole fish. Maybe the euphoria of having food finally made someone in the street careless enough to throw food away
After all, Rhaenyra is there to provide what is one single fish?
Why would the people think Meleys head is a bad omen when she killed hundreds of them?
If you see something as a god or god like thanks to years of the Targaryen “exceptionalism doctrine” being feed to you from birth as you live in their backyard, a dragon killing people is just an action of the gods. As the Stranger takes so does the dragons, it’s the natural order of things. People are born, it rains, the sun sets and rises at the same time every day and the giant fire made flesh creatures that fly over your city every day and eat your cows and sheep whole in one gulp have killed someone.
But to strip that creature of it’s divinity and to parede its head around…
You have to think about this as a religious or superstitious person. The head of god is being dragged down the street. This god that gives (the years were Meleys was a protector of the city as the dragon of Princess Alyssa and the years Rhaenys lived in Kingslanding) and takes (the dragon pit incident) is now revealed to be meat
Meat
Not divinity given flesh
Meat
You are hungry, the royal family feasts and their dragons are meat
The head of Meleys is a ill omen because it plants a seed.
You can’t do anything if your gods feast while you starve. They are gods.
But the Targaryens are no longer gods to the people of Kingslanding
The are meat
Just like the rest of them

How does somebody whose only shipped lesbian ships before become so obsessed with Erehisu?
Y'see, anon, it's a little something called "bisexuality"
#i actually watched aot becuz of yumihisu but then i read the manga and i slapped my head and said#'shit why did they cut off so many scenes of them together'#them being erehisu#and then ymir fritz dropped and THEN i listened to that Linked Horizon song where a baby wailed at the end#then im like yooooooo fcuking hell theyre future parents to this poor girl omggggg#honestly i stumbled into erehisu by my own becuz after reading the uprising arc in the manga i felt like i had to do the ship justice#just cuz how overlooked it was and how i realized that they probably had the better chemistry#the more i looked into their characterizations and parallels to each other#like them being burdened putting up a fake facade just for others and having to come to terms to it#as well as the way their family shaped them (carla frieda and freckled ymir are the goats)#it wasnt much back then BUT THEN i read apple and lamp theory#and its soooooooo fucking beautiful it just seared into my mind forever.#Enemies To Humanity is something so unbelievable yet fascinating to me as a dynamic but it all clicked the moment i put it in its context#i dont support whatever the fuck the alt-right part of the fandom has of it thats another ball game#i ship erehisu in the way i percieve it to be the most fitting to the mature themes of the story#its not the first 'straight' ship i liked but it IS the first ship where i think it's ultimately superior to others including the wlw ships#thats why im so obsessed with them
