#so it's like would stepsiblings be incest if they don't share blood?

People can ship Thorki for all the kinky reasons they want (although personally I’m not a fan) but I wish they’d stop using the argument “well they’re not ACTUALLY related/brothers” to justify it. It just sounds like a secret admission to thinking raising an adopted kid doesn’t make them a real member of the family :(

as per my last tags:

that's why if you say it's incest im like yeah ok but if you say it's not incest im still like yeah ok. pseudo-incest? sure, im not picky. everyone's got personal views on what incest is/isn't defined as.

the only part that matters when it comes to the ship i think is whether or not they'd be moaning the word brother in bed and the answer is irrevocably: yes

#that's why no one argues on whether or not they're brothers/whether it's incest #that's irrelevant #like do they share blood? probably not but you could argue for it. do you have to share blood for it to be incest? questionable. then magic #lots of things to consider #but they consider each other brothers and were raised on that themselves #so it's like would stepsiblings be incest if they don't share blood?#Thor and Loki didn't find out they weren't related till later in life so to them it would be incest #and if Asgard is like oh legally that's incest #then BAM it's an issue #forbidden fruit stuff still applies if Asgard is fine with it bc of no blood bc they see each other as bros #it's incest. to them <3 #special case #this is why you tell kids when they're adopted smh #it avoids conundrums like this #no one is going to say the bros aren't brothers but also people aren't going to claim they're sharing blood #unless you're like me and have decided on some wacko affair triangle between laufey odin and frigga #thorki #Thor/Loki

My big problem with eremika is simply that they are adopted siblings. And I don't care about the "she was only taken in for 1 year" argument everyone pulls. It's gross. It's incest. Especially because Isayama made two statements in the past (Mikasa being a mother figure to Eren) and (that he grew up with friends and that imagining marrying each other was weird because they felt so close) also shipping non-blood related siblings is disregarding the adopted child as a family member. I mean, I know people who adopted a kid next to their biological child. And yes even within a year they were siblings to each other. I hate the whole "yeah where are the adoptive papers and why is she not a Jaeger" argument. Maybe papers didn't exist back then? Also Grisha was close to the Ackermans. It's not like they adopted a unknown child so it's fine that Mikasa knows her heritage? I'm so frustrated how everyone brushes over the incest part... Honestly I wished Isayama sticked to his og ending of everyone dying. It would have at least felt like a fitting ending to the series. Sorry for going off so much.. It's kinda personal I have a stepsibling and getting weird comments about them and me is grossing me out so much. So yeah.. Sorry

I agree that it's quite a controversial subject, and I wish it was handled differently in the manga. Sure - technically they're not related at all, and Mikasa really did live with the Jeagers only for about a year, but I still see where you're coming from. At the beginning of the story, I was really uncomfortable with this ship as well, because of this whole "adopted siblings/family" thing.

Despite no bloodties, Mikasa still viewed the Jeagers as her family - it's shown in the manga. On top of that, the author has stated in a couple different interviews that Mikasa saw Eren as a child, someone younger that she had to take care of - and Eren saw her a bit like an overprotective mother. Grisha called Mikasa his daughter as far as in ch. 121....all of this just make me feel pretty uncomfortable tbh. If they were always going to become "canon" (which I still have my doubts about) was it really necessary to give them such a weird (and a bit icky) dynamics?
