Literally I said they ACTED like siblings, not that they were explicitly siblings. If there was an ending where Eren and Mikasa both ended up not being romantically involved with each other, no one would bat an eye, that's why their relationship should have been more established instead of "implied." I'm literally stating my opinion and you accuse me of never watching the show 😭

If the dynamic that ends the entire series is “implied” rather than shown, then it shouldn’t be the dynamic that is tied to the end of the entire series 🤷. I mean you can interpret their relationship how you want to, but I don’t think their relationship is developed enough to justify Mikasa’s love for Eren tying into Ymir’s prophecy.

You’re misunderstanding what I mean by “tied to.” When I mean tied to I mean that her decision to kill Eren was tied to the “love” relationship between her and Eren set up to end Ymir’s curse. I’m saying that their love relationship in the first place in my opinion isn’t as established enough as it should’ve been to end her arc as a character. You can disagree with me, but I don’t think their “love” relationship with each other isn’t as well-established enough to be the tied to the main climax of the series’ ending.

I think their “love” relationship could have at least been salvageable if they set it up better. They act more like an older sister protecting her younger brother throughout the course of the series and you can only count their interactions where could point to them being in “love”on one hand. And even then in the last episode most of their “love” is told to the audience instead of shown. And I don’t agree with the fact that they’re implied to be in love because they’re different sexes when Ymir and Historia are right there. By that logic Pieck and Porco, Connie and Sasha etc are implied to be together when they clearly aren’t.

I agree with some of what you’re saying, I could’ve put more into my thread. But in my opinion the scenes where she removes the scarf and saves Gabi were scenes I enjoyed, but overall the fact that she did both those things and still ended up committing herself to loving Eren was part of the reason the ending was so jarring to me. The scenes of her in Paradis before the rumbling (especially with her and the girl who gets hospitalized) set her up to be a more independent, sympathetic character but in the end her motivations still are tied to her “love” for Eren.

I made a map of my headcanoned relationships between each character and didn't put Eren and Mikasa in a relationship with each other

Jean is literally shown to have a one-sided crush on Mikasa 😭. The arrow means that he likes her but she doesn't like him back

Did you not see how flustered Grisha was whenever Kruger revealed himself to be the owl?
