❤️= Favorite ships? ⚔️ = Unpopular opinion? I'm going to answer both at once, because why not. 

One of the things that really sold me on the show in the first place was the fact that it didn't have any of the main characters constantly pining, like most other shows in it’s genre do. Don't get me wrong, I still love those other shows, but I feel like most of the romantic subplots with the main characters were the weakest parts of them. Only occasionally does Elena of Avalor have episodes on romance as the focus and that was always with grown ups and/or side characters. I feel like shows should do that more often.

That being said as far as ships go, well… I like all the cannon married & dating couples, I don't have any problems with any of them. But as far as most fan-made ships go, I'm pretty neutral about most of them (or I am a big multishipper with them). I see a nice piece of art/fic for them and I'm like “Oh that's a nice piece of art/fic” but I wouldn't live or die for that ship. 

But I have to admit I do absolutely love Rafictor, it's definitely a favourite, but I like some other ships that have either of them in them as well. Ixlan/Antonia is another favourite, (although I guess the show was the one that suggested that ship in the first place). And I really like any of the possible combinations of the four Amigos with each other, I'm just very glad that the show didn't explicitly say that any of them are cannon, because that makes them all equally valid. (Although I guess I'm biased towards a certain one of them if you look at a couple of certain posts of mine).

I just think Francisco and Luisa are such a cute couple. 

I originally drew this picture for early 2020’s EOA shipweek, but completed it late and decided not to post it back then. I recently colored it and so I can finally post it for this year's ship week.
