So, I just finished reading Amulet.
Small rant, feel free to skip, cuz I'm expressing my distaste for a ship.
So, Triva. In the series, Riva is set up as Trellis' love interest. I have a few concerns with this, and one of my main reasons that I dislike this ship is because I ship Tremily more. Now, Triva has the capacity to be a nice ship. It's just not my cup of tea, and for multiple reasons. For starters, I've always viewed their relationship as more of a sibling one. Riva sometimes acts like Trellis' older sister, and Trellis certainly seems to think of her as a sister/good friend. I also don't think it's definitely canon. Might be grasping at straws, but still.
I know Riva says she has that vision, but, and correct me if I'm wrong, she's never been shown before to have any psychic abilities. Her vision was probably a daydream or dream, and although she says it's about Trellis, she might have just substituted him in bc she needs a family. And as for the kid we see her carrying in the end of Waverider, I don't think she would have had a baby so soon, bc that was not nine months. She probably found him and adopted him (also for the two kids in the vision, I like to imagine that they're Riva's adopted kids, and Trellis gets to be the cool uncle. Emily is the wine aunt who drops in occasionally to give them amazing life advice, help them learn how to do or evade taxes, and give them harmonicas).
Onto my bigger reason for why I dislike this ship. Trellis is confirmed to be the elf equivalent of 16. The war began when Riva was a teenager, which was easily at least 30-50 years ago. I know elves age slowly, but she's mayor of Lucien. How many teenagers are mayor of a whole city? She's definitely already a grown adult, and while I'm not going to hate people for shipping them, I find the ship a little discomforting.
I think that's everything. If you stuck around this long and want to discuss Amulet, or Triva/Tremily and other ships, you can use this post or send me an ask, and my message box is always open! But please don't send hate, these are just my opinions.
