So, I keep trying to change the status on the 'Royai' page to semi-canon or canon. And someone always changes it back to fanon. Now, I get it, I get it. They've never kissed, dated, proposed, gotten married, or any of that romantic stuff. So how is it canon? Well, it may not be a very obvious ship, but then, it's (at least semi ) canon.

Arakawa (creator of FMA) never said 'Actually, Roy and Riza are in love'. She never did. But, she said that Roy and Riza can't get married because of the military fraternization laws. And that's the only reason. So most likely, they could marry each other if the laws weren't there. She has also said their relationship is deeper than just Colonel and Lieutenant. At least, I think that's what I heard, but the fraternization laws part is confirmed.

There are also some subtle hints of Royai in the show. Roy getting mad at Barry The Chopper for crushing on Riza, Madame Christmas telling Roy to 'go play with Elizabeth (codename for Riza)',    Grumman asking Mustang to marry his granddaughter (by the way, his granddaughter is Riza. Search up 'FMA who is Grumman's granddaughter' if you still don't believe what I'm saying. Also, search up images of the gameplay from the FMA game 'Prince of Dawn'. Royai is pretty much canon in that game, you can't deny it. Riza blushing while talking to Roy, Roy's embarrassment at his failed flirt attempts, it's basically a game made to show Royai's existence.

Now, before you call me a 'toxic shipper', I may love this ship a lot, and I show it, but I don't like starting shipping wars and insulting people for not agreeing with my ships. I respect everyone's opinions, if they aren't offensive, that is. I understand that not everyone ships this ship, but I don't understand why it keeps being changed back to fanon.

To the person who thinks Royai is fanon, have you watched Fullmetal Alchemist (can be 2003 or Brotherhood or both)? And if you have, how many episodes? And have you ever tried learning about the ships in FMA and what the creator of the series, Hiromu Arakawa, has said about them?

If you find this to be rude, I apologize. I don't mean to create conflict or arguments or offend others. And I mean it. I'm trying my best to be polite, hopefully we can work this out. No matter how you respond to this message, I promise to respond back with respect.

I have more Royai evidence here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKPaRU2Nt0s (the 2003 VAs for Roy and Riza sing a duet. If you translate the lyrics, you'll know what I mean)
