why i love armin x nathaniel

i generally just really love the development of their friendship in game. i love how they introduce their biggest passions (books and games) to each other and i love how it starts becoming something they enjoy. i'm also a big friends to lovers fan so.

geek x nerd. that's all i have to say.

i feel like they complement each other really well. nathaniel is a reasonable, logical person but is often too serious and unable to chill the fuck out. armin is the opposite, being very careless and easy going but also not being good at handling difficult situations. i think it leaves a lot of space for them to help each other and learn from each other, making them become the best versions of themselves. (this is how i interpret them at least based on the many times i played this game.)

in the valentine’s day event from 2017 one of nathaniel's questions for the player is what an ideal relationship is for him and the correct answer is “share our passion and hobbies… it's important that we learn from each other” COME ON THAT'S LITERALLY HIM AND ARMIN. in the very same event armin says he has “become really close to a certain guy in class” asking the player who it is and the answer is nathaniel… i just think out of context it sounds kinda gay idk…

nathaniel's favorite color is blue and armin's eyes are blue<3 i just think he'd like admiring his eyes<3

i always interpreted the animals the characters have as a reflection of them and their personality, you know, kinda in a “if this character were an animal they would be this one” way, and with armin adopting a ferret and nathaniel adopting a cat that's what i think they'd be. and irl cats and ferrets really get along and like playing with each other so i think that's sweet. also they could have dates with their pets this way too<3

if you're not on armin’s route i'm pretty sure in episode 24 he adopts rocket because it's nathaniel who showed him the pet shop.

i do choose to interpret armin kissing amber in my own way okay. she is twins with nathaniel after all.

in one of the episodes armin admits he stayed up late reading a book nathaniel recommended to him and i find it cute he got so much into his (boy)friend’s hobby.

i dont like armin’s alternative life but their interactions in it are filled with homosexuality ok?

they play league of legends together and that's like the gayest thing you can do tbh.

sometimes the boys get paired up in the game and arminath usually end up together like on the illustration from episode 25. also i’m not 100% sure but i think they often sit with each other? hard to remember everything that's happened in a 40 episodes long game even though i replayed it many times. need to replay it again and write down their every interaction…

thank you for reading, i tried to explain this ship the best i could because i love them so much they're literally my entire life and world and i don't know what i would do without them. i love making content of them and i hope maybe i can inspire some of you to make it too. <33. might make part 2 if i think of something else.

hm. if nathaniel were to be first in the shipname then id say nathmin could do better than narmin maybe?

if arminath has a million fans, then i am one of them.

if arminath has ten fans, then i am one of them.

if arminath has one fan, that's me.

if arminath has no fans, i'm dead.

if the world is against arminath, i'm against the world.

armin's room analysis

so i was analyzing armin's highschool room again lately since he has many references to real game series etc. and couldn't help but notice the big collection of mangas right over his computers.

it was obvious to me they must be real life mangas since the cover sides are pretty detailed and everything else in his room is a real life reference too.

so me and my friend did some research and found all of them!

starting from the top left, which is probably the biggest collection.

the quality of all the mangas is like really bad, but im like 100% it's bleach since the colors of text are very visible and this collection has something orange between the red text and the graphic at the bottom. i was struggling to find any other manga with orange color in this specific placement. the red text and the bottom graphic also seem to match.

2. the collection right underneath.

at first i thought the mangas with the black cover and the white cover were two different ones, but when i looked up naruto manga i figured it matches really well with the black ones, but the couple first volumes of naruto have white covers so they must be the same. it'd be pretty weird if armin started reading naruto from volume 20 something. also the side cover's layout looks the same on both. the only thing that made me unsure is that the text under the title looks blue on the white one and it should be black but since it's low quality i'm gonna assume the colors might be a little bit off. you can also see naruto's yellow hair on the bottom graphic so fsdhufd

3. collection next to naruto.

this is negima. i'm gonna be honest i've never heard of this series before. but the colors seem mostly right and the graphic being on the top of the cover rather than on the bottom. i generally think negima's cover is very characteristic and if someone was a fan they would recognize it right away.

4. collection next to negima.

this one's quality is like. particularly bad. you can't even see much of the middle text that's supposed to be the title. but if you look closely you can sort of tell its red? and that would make sense, because this manga is xxxholic! xxxholic has a title in a font that i can imagine almost disappearing on a low quality image. the side graphic is also mostly black and white and on the top, which would be fitting too. only the colors at the very top are slightly off but other than that i think it's a fairly good guess.

5. the top one on the right.

so this one is kinda impossible to be sure of because you can only tell it's a black text on the bottom of a white cover and theres a graphic over it. i wasn't planning on trying to find it initially but when looking for other mangas i saw one that's kinda similar and that would be blue exorcist. i can't be 100% sure but the bottom has the same colors and layout so i think it could really be it.

only picture of the bottom this time since i think it's easier to compare like this.

also i realize it's hard to compare them with the small ass images of the mangas i pasted in this post so i recommend finding the room image and zooming into the mangas on your own.

anyway that's all, i think those guesses are most likely right so yeah if you're curious what mangas armin reads it's naruto, bleach, xxxholic, negima and blue exorcist!!!
