Reiner: so apparently the “bad vibes” i’ve been feeling are actually severe psychological distress
Reiner.. how do you do it. What do I have to do… to be like you and Mikasa. At this rate, I’ll die without doing a damn thing!
Just do what you’ve gotta do. Keep moving forward
.You’re gonna exterminate every last titan right? I know you can do it.

I just wanted to remind you guys there is a ReiBert Discord server ! Don’t be shy to ask for the link !
Hello everyone! Since the official translation of chapter 139 has been released and has cleared some misconceptions from the bad korean scanlation it’s time to post my thoughts regarding Rivamika and the ending of Shingeki no Kyojin. I stronglyrecommend rereading the chapter with the official (Kodansha’s) translation (it’s easy to find).
Here goes…
While every shipper’s dream is to see obvious signs of canon for their pairing, I believe the Rivamika fandom will come out of this relatively healthy, and Rivamika fanworks will definitely thrive.
For one thing, both Levi and Mikasa are alive, Levi is well, and they’re going to meet. Isayama left things open-ended, but left us a few hints such as Armin implying Mikasa will find a nice man in the future, Pieck pestering Jean about his appearance, etc., that give us a little fuel for post-canon Rivamika. I won’t go into detail about Mikasa’s sorry state (that will go into another post where I will post my personal opinion about SNK’s ending as a whole), but it can be an amazing plot hook for any ship involving Mikasa - especiallyRivamika.
I have been preparing for this day ever since I created this blog in 2014, and as someone who is fandom!oldI have seen many OTPs of mine become officially canon - but no ship has ever gripped me like Rivamika. And Rivamika wouldn’t have been such an entrancing ship if Shingeki no Kyojin wasn’t a good quality manga. Only Rivamika was able to make me pour so many hours of work on a blog like this, and I do not regret one second of the time I spent on it. That’s why I hope the controversial ending of SNK doesn’t change your enjoyment of Rivamika, or detract you from the manga’s overall quality. An open ending with both Levi and Mikasa as one of the few survivors is one of the best things that could’ve happened to our fandom considering how dark Shingeki no Kyojin has always been. We have a bright future ahead of us, and in some ways a bittersweet ending can be an extremely effective kind of fuel for fanworks.
Finally, despite this blog’s name being canon-rivamika, please remember that canon isn’t the be-all and end-all to shipping. Rather, the purpose of this blog has always been to help gather the canon moments of development between Levi and Mikasa and the parallels between them in order to enrich our shipping experience. And so, rest assured that this blog will maintain its purpose as the Shingeki no Kyojin fandom enters a new era of fanworks. A final Rivamika timeline is slowly on the way. We also have merchandise, possible spinoffs, and the final season of the anime to entertain us for a while.
That’s it. A big and warm thank you to the 5k shippers who are following this blog! It has been, and still is, a pleasure to ship Rivamika with you all. :’)
