It’s not even because I rep suselle(though people suddenly hating it more and more is alarming), like you guys know me I’m the polycule lover I have one of the longest polycule fics in the fandom.
But like. Have you ever had a friend you’d die for? Have you ever had a friend that changed and saved your life? Have you ever had a friend you want to live with, you’d trust with your life, that you’ve been through thick and thin with?
Theres such an amatonormative attitude towards shipping the two of them that kinda makes me pull my hair out. “Oh well best friends aren’t like THAT” yes they are. “They have a heart between them!!” Are you five. “Kris keeps blushing!!” Kris blushes over a shit ton of things unrelated to Susie, they’re a teenager that’s flustered easily and it’s a really interesting trait if theirs which also gets overshadowed by thinking blushing is only romantic.
Like it’s okay to ship them. It’s fine. But it makes the scene where they fall into the titan together go from tear-jerking to “eh”.
