Robin and Marian – Kindred Spirits question?

[obisgirl]

So, I’m still working on my true love meta and I came across this interview Christie Laing gave to AfterBuzz TV where she talked about Robin and Marian being Kindred Spirits.

“So much has changed in the time Robin and Marian have been apart…I [Marian] still love him [Robin]…Marian and him are kindred spirits and they’re going to fight together,”

They will always be kindred spirits and such, but time has passed for Robin and who he is now isn’t who he was before. Marian is going to want her man back but again so much time has passed for him, while not much has passed for her. She doesn’t think Regina is going to go bad. She would like to see them sit down and talk. They’re both strong women who love Robin. – Christie Laing [x]

I think I kind of know the answer to this, but what makes Robin and Marian kindred spirits? Why were they able to relate to each other so well?

I think I kind of know the answer to this, but what makes Robin and Marian kindred spirits? Why were they able to relate to each other so well?

Thats interesting that she used the term kindred spirits as oppose to Robin and Regina being soul mates. I think it points to two types of relationships. Kindred spirits could just be really good friends. To me it speaks of an understanding between two people that makes you feel like they get you on a fundamental level.

Before the Zelena twist, I totally bought Marian’s line about how she would not stand in the way of Robin and Regina’s relationship if that is what he chose. I think thats something the real Marian would say, because she would have that base of friendship with Robin. I could totally see they co-parenting successfully.

Whenever Robin and Marian are together I always think they look sweet. First love type of feeling. When Robin and Regina interact it seems more…passionate. Sean does a good job because Robin doesn’t even touch Marian the same way he touches Regina.

I think what it might mean is that Marian recognize that Robin was a good person and he saw that in her too and that’s why they fell in love with each other. The trouble is, we may never get that backstory going forward and it’s frustrating for me writing this monster true love meta, because whenever this phrase comes up in an interview, I am obligated to include it. Romantic or not.
