Found your blog and followed immediately when I saw your ship! I'll be honest in saying I never heard or even thought of this pairing before. Mind if I ask why you ship it and are there any other blogs with underrated ships like this?
Hi hi @snk-stuff-here! Welcome to my humble space and thank you very much for the very appreciated positive energy (and the follow!) 💖 No worries, because you're not the only who's puzzled by my rarepair. I believed I have shared some of the roots of this ship back in this textpost. Though, a more revised answer would be I believe the alternative possibility between these two characters as a unit even more after the timeskip. Back when they were trainees, for me, it was more on physical compatibility, complimenting personalities & inner demons' coping mechanism - all through a strong bond with Eren (even when they barely spoken a word to each other in canon except when they're trying to kill each other).
After the timeskip however, I feel like they both would have had an amazing, complementary dynamic if given an opportunity and the best link would be a connection through Gabi. The central theme for each of them would be hope/life (Reiner) & love/family (Mikasa) that could also be applied to each other, which leads to 'moving forward' for them together. I hope my thought makes sense. And, I always envision Mikasa, having a family again because of Reiner's (as per the comment by one of my ReiKasa fic's readers on Ao3) & that mere thought alone, leaves a very warm feeling in my heart.
Oh yes, I must not forget the SnK HighSchool AU, I think these two would embody the 'defying status quo' trope. Quarterback & Rebel/Goth? I'm a sucker for that!
We obviously not going to see these two have even remotely a friendship in current canon (haha) but I'm a fan that always love to see a possibility in the impossible 😆 My favourite trope: enemies to lovers + love/hate relationship, without a doubt ;)
In regards to other blogs that pays tribute to underdog/unpopular ships like ReiKasa, there are my several favourites:
@zeth21 : Porco X Mikasa
@berumika : Bertolt X Mikasa
@quietcelt : Rico X Ian, Mitabi X Anka
@captainandqueen, @soronrocket : Levi X Historia
@omy-chan01 : Jean X Pieck
The above-mentioned inspired me so much ❤❤❤ Please do give them all your love 😍
Thank you so much for the kind message once again!
