I'm cleaning out some ancient vids I made from like 4 years ago so here's a cute little tribute to the awesome relationship of Hamlet and Horatio, from Branagh's 1996 Hamlet film. Vid created in 2016.

This AMV is an absolute labor of love. If you love Eruri, please give it a watch and share with your Eruri friends. 💜 I fell into SNK in February of this year and in my voracious love for Erwin and Levi’s bond, I found so many incredible fans who put together huge collections of scans, creator/VA quotes, and official content showing how much Erwin and Levi love each other and are each other’s special person. These receipt posts (some of which I link below) were the inspiration for this video edit. I wanted to include the most tender and meaningful things about Eruri, within the manga/anime itself and in other official sources.

🔶 More Receipts 🔶
Even with all this content, I couldn’t even include everything I wanted to in this vid, including:
• The Universal Studios Japan wax exhibition that indicated Erwin and Levi shared a room.
• The scene between Erwin and Levi in 301 of the anime, which included a shot of two books on a bed—a trace of a standard logo for R18 BL (adult boys love manga/doujinshi).
• The SNK audio play, “Operation: Hospitality,” in which Mikasa observed that Levi shared his meals with Erwin after every expedition.
• The famous June 2019 Animedia article that called Levi’s love for Erwin romantic.
• The SNK Smartpass short story (“Goodnight. Sweet dreams”) in which Levi compares the sea to Erwin’s eyes.
• The Aug 2021 audio drama (“Crumbled Castle Gate”) in which Erwin and Levi share a tender, intimate conversation with one another in the rain.
• And many more!

I haven’t made a proper fanvid in almost 3 years (partly because my computer kept hogging memory when I uploaded anything to Premiere Pro). Got a new computer recently and was totally inspired to make something once Wizards hit Netflix. The Tales of Arcadia universe has that strange It factor for me—a subtlety in writing and characterization, an artful use of the quiet moments between dialogue, a stunning soundtrack that is on par with animated films, gorgeous and stunning world building across multiple genres. And most importantly, TOA features understated heroes who quietly push themselves to such extremes of goodness and sacrifice. Jim carved a place for himself in my hall of Heroes for everything he’s done for others and I’m just astounded that now TOA features twice in my hallowed hall (joining Hiccup, Tony Stark, the Tenth Doctor, and Jim Lake Jr.).
There’s such a quiet conviction in Douxie, a belief that by just quietly and doggedly *doing good*, he can earn the Mastery of Life his master kept telling him about, never realizing that after 900 years, it’s the very belief that he’s not quite there that makes him wise, makes him humble, and makes him worthy. He kept seeing the staff as a synecdoche, a summation for the whole person a wizard is, as a means of validating his worth. And so he never realized that he already achieved wisdom without it.
Merlin never approved of Douxie. And it hurts to see him treated as a servant in Camelot by the only person he knows as father. Yet it does not make him hate Merlin. He just tries to follow his advice with even MORE conviction and humility than before. His first meeting with Merlin is a perfect encapsulation of Douxie’s relationship to Merlin: Doux immediately bows to his master (he still respects him, even though he abandoned him for a millennium!), then snarks with 900-years worth of frustration, and then immediately jumps into kid-like enthusiasm about how much magic practice he’s achieved since they last met. Only to be sidelined for the Heroes of Arcadia, who’ve spend maybe 2 years max fighting death and witches. Yet Douxie doesn’t throw Merlin under the bus after such a monumental f@#*-off—He just keeps trying to prove himself and do good. He just refuses to let other people’s failures get to him or affect the goodness in him. (Hell, he even took Jim and Morgana!Claire’s insults at him in the restaurant scene in Trollhunters 304 like a champ.)
And this dogged goodness is what eventually convinces Merlin that he’s been wrong about Douxie—He wasn’t just a servant, but a son. Not just someone to teach, but someone to love. And he’s wronged his son for eons by not giving him the love and support he deserved. He’s a better person than Merlin ever was, more dedicated to being a Wizard-Hero than merely a Wizard-Sage. Putting his own life on the line to preserve the life of the people he loves and the lives of everyone. Because he holds himself to a higher standard, because he has this power, because he *can* do something.
This vid celebrates Douxie’s growth and relationship with Merlin. How much Douxie’s frustrated by him, how much he loves and misses him, how much he feels like, despite everything Merlin’s done to him, Merlin’s advice and presence in his life meant he had a father, had someone who taught him how to live. He wasn’t perfect, but he was his dad.
(Personal note: Like Doux, it seems the most I’ve learned from my parents sometimes is how not to live. That you can’t be caught up in your own pain and bitterness so much that you lose sight of how to take care of others. They gave me the foundation of what goodness I have, but ever since I reached Doux’s age, they couldn’t give me the mentorship and support and parenting I needed, and in the end, it was their children who had to parent them.. I guess that’s how I connect with Douxie too, because we both had to somehow grow up on our own, with what wisdom we’ve gained from the people who raised us, who emotionally vanished from our lives when we needed them most.)
