I just wanted to include this in what I’m about to say, because I feel like the creator of the video couldn’t have captured the person Chester was in those few minutes any better.  I’m torn apart. The last time I felt this low, I was younger and listening to Linkin Park to keep my mind at ease. It’s like a huge fucking part of me was ripped out and taken with Chester, and I’ve seen the posts from other people -- I’m not the only one. Sometimes I can barely sleep, my eyes are blood shot, there is a constant weight on my chest. I didn’t know him personally, but he somehow managed to become like a best friend to me. It was like he was there all those times I felt completely alone in what I was going through -- his songs, his voice, they helped me to understand the pain he, too, carried with him. It helped me to understand I wasn’t actually alone. And that was the beginning of my recovery. You could tell he poured his fucking everything into his songs, into helping people. I’m truly fucking exhausted and I don’t know how I’m ever supposed to overcome what’s happened. I can’t recover that missing piece that left with Chester. As much as I want to say that I wish I could have done something, that someone could have done something, I know changing the outcome wouldn’t be so simple. Like Chester once said, people can’t fix your pain for you, only you can do that. Chester absolutely loved his family, his band, his fans, and that much was obvious -- it’s not that you/we all weren’t enough, it’s that Chester was plagued from (seemingly) childhood with these relentless demons people call depression. It’s not something you can just make go away, and I know a lot of people’s eyes have been opened to this now that Chester is gone. But he fought fucking hard all these years and I know we can all see it. Chester didn’t just up and quit when things got tough, because things have been tough all his life. I know he must have fought so fucking hard for himself, for everyone. So no, to those who deem him a coward for taking his life, fighting until you absolutely cannot anymore isn’t cowardly and I don’t understand how you can think that. Chester was fucking /strong/ and we all know that if he could, he would have kept pushing and kept fighting.  I want him back so much. I've found myself thinking, almost saying “Chester, what do I do?” so many times these past few days, and I’m always led right back to Linkin Park and their music. I’ll never be who I was before you left us because we can never have you back. But if I still hold one thing with me, it’s the fact and /living/ proof that you changed a life for the better. I swear, absolutely swear, you will never be forgotten. My thoughts, my love, my everything is with @linkinpark and Chester’s family. I can’t begin to imagine what you must be feeling. I love you guys. We all do. Linkin Park and Chester have forever held a very fucking special place in my life that no other band or musician has, and it’ll always be that way. Chester and you all are irreplaceable.  I miss you so much, Chester. But rest easy now, you deserve it. 

Until we meet again.

It’s true Erwin Smith is a crucial and important character in this series in terms of the plot. People don’t seem to realise this but he’s been around since the beginning and is one of the men responsible for combating each complication faced in the series– whether present or behind the scenes, along with the following:

responsible for Levi even being enlisted in the survey corps in the first place, taking the underground thug “under his wing” as stated by Petra.

devised the formation for long distance enemy detection, which has essentially saved lives as opposed to throwing men blindly into the path of titans (this is important).

formed a highly capable and well working team of trusted veteran comrades after he was promoted to commander.

since becoming commander, he has pushed for the most change or improvement while in his position.

encouraged more focus on researching titans as opposed to just fighting them, used theories and research to better his own strategies. 

fought to have Eren in the survey corps to aid humanity after his titan power was recognised by society and they wanted him destroyed; demonstrates he is openminded enough to risk relying on the aid of a titan they knew next to nothing about.

formed an honest recruitment speech that scared many off to minimalise casualties and guarantee skill, also distracting potential spies with the mention of the basement, put a stop to it.

captured Annie.

proved the worth of the survey corps to prevent them losing funding/being disbanded.

came up with a distraction against Bert/Reiner in the kidnapping arc.

rescued Eren singlehandedly when injured and overall in a dire situation, then led the cast back to safety without passing out.

with the help of his fellow commanders, overthrew a corrupt monarchy.

again, proved the worth of the survey corps to prevent them from being disbanded.

paved the way for Historia to assume her role as queen.

prevented society from being destroyed by yet another titan shifter.

driving the shingeki no kyojin plot bus since day one.

Notice how most of the above are driving the plot and are steps taken overall towards society/humanity prevailing against the enemy. If you remove almost any of these dotpoints, the series would not be the same.

Is anyone else legitimately stressed out about AoT season 2? Like, I finally managed to mostly get away from the series after a certain someone's death in the manga and although I can't say I'm particularly excited for the second season (because I know what's to come) I know that as a long term SNK fan it's going to be near impossible for me to avoid watching regardless of what I feel about it. I just want this all to be over with, same as Isayama. Don't want to go through being upset over and over again. Anyone else with me or am I alone on this?

Look its commander badass…

I just really wanted to draw this okay

Time skip.. everything is all hunky dory.. Levi is /bowing down to another individual and //////kissing their hand///// / ... all that character development we could have witnessed in that year down the drain... they get to see the ocean out of nowhere.....

There’ll be no rest for the wicked There’s no song for the choir I let my good one down I let my true love die I had his heart but I broke it every time (x)

Because Levi deserves to be allowed to mourn and Erwin deserves a damn funeral.
