I have noticed that u like and probably shipps mikannie, i don’t shipp it but i like their dynamics, but i haven’t read the manga and neither seen the s4 part2 but i always said to my friend that their rivalty was always a little sus to me because they don’t have a real motive to hate each other and this pretty much came out of nowhere and there’s this psychological thing that when you hate a lot something deep down you probably like it, so i always thought that Mikasa and Annie probably like each other, not just platonic but i doesn’t think it was romantically either, it was more like i feel attracted to you and want to make out w you but i don’t wanna accept it so i’ll just pretend i hate u, after i saw the pictures and spoiler of that episode which they had a lot of interactions these headcanon of mine has a lot of chances of being true i think? i just thought you would like it these and also had to discuss w someone too, everytime i remember this happened even without me knowing it makes me giggle
Yes, I do shipp MikaAnnie a little too hard.
That's a result of me being a part of the older fandom (I watched the 1 season when it came out and read the manga as it was releasing). At that time, we never really saw chemistry between characters (which was odd, because almost every anime inserts a main shipp early on). The first couple we see strong hints is Ymir and Historia (which later is confirmed by the author) and when Mikasa and Annie started having a rivals-to-lovers vibe the fandom went WILD! I still remember the shipp wars with the EreMika stans.
So yeah, I shipp MikaAnnie mainly because of my old days in the fandom and because they have nice chemistry in their interactions. I find it so funny because they never really had any reason to hate one another, and I completely agree that if you dislike someone for no reason maybe there's a little denial happening. People usually believe that Mikasa disliked Annie because she would beat the sh*t out of Eren sometimes, but it's never explicitly stated that's the reason for their rivarly.
We were fed in this recent season, because although the interactions between were not intended to be romantic, the chemistry is strong!! Like, look at the way Mikasa holds and comforts Annie, it's such an unusual display of affection and it makes me blush! Also, there is something so interesting about two strong and badass women together.
In my delusional head, Mikasa and Annie become endgame. I like AruAnnie, I think it's cute, but my MikaAnnie days are still going strong.
Thank you and until next time!
