having scary dog privileges when going out in public with Bakugo
Except people only avoid him because theyā€™re afraid of getting rabies šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
heā€™s just so chaotic he has to be infected
LMFAOOO UR IN MY BRAIN BC I THINK THIS !!!!
(him n my oc r like this cough coiugh cough)
i mean,, look at him..šŸ’€ sure, he's scary and big n buff n whatnot but also he looks like a damn dog with rabies the way he walks around shoulders slouched n saggy n with that impossible frown on his face. (plus his little waddle) and if you catch him on a good day he's even scaries cus hes walking upright like he does when he has those big ass gauntlets on his arms and hes just smuch more imposing and scaryšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ (šŸ¤¤)
and the way he practically snarls foaming at the mouth at the thought of anyone daring to approach you with any typa romantic intent,,very scary stuff indeed. goosebump inducing.
like he's scary in the way hes intimidating and also he looks like a freakšŸ˜­ plus he's just soo loud when he feels threatened. like if he thinks someone (god bless their soul for even having the balls big enough to walk up trynna flirt) is trynna start something with you hes all GLARESS. the pressure in the room goes hard and when the person doesnt get the hint he will very much start talking for you. he'll lean over your shoulder where he was walking next you and full on get in ppls facesšŸ˜­šŸ˜­
"HAAAH???!!! you can't hear or somethin' ?! we're fuckin' busy !"
he'll be so pissed off about the interaction he'll keep mumbling about some "tch,,damn extra..trynna start shit with me.." he'll keep doin this till you kiss his boo boo's better

gmorning Clari!!! šŸ’˜ Iā€™m not sure youā€™ve done it before, but Iā€™d loooove to know what type of yanderes youā€™d classify your genshin faves as šŸ˜˜
Tumblr media
ANDYYYY i am so sorry i am responding a few days late to this and thatā€™s because i accidentally wrote you a whole novel for an answer :) your ask sparked so many thoughts and i just BLAAAH spewed them all over the page (*ļ¾‰Ļ‰ļ¾‰) ugh ahahaha ANYWAY oh gosh okay i have so much to say, letā€™s get into it!!! also apologies for how MASSIVE ajaxā€™s is waaaah
characters: wriothesley, ajax [childe], kamisato ayato, thoma warnings: 18+ minors do not interact, yandere behaviour (gaslighting, obsessiveness, toxic relationships, delusional thinking, manipulation, over-protectiveness, etc) words: 2.1k
Tumblr media
ā‚ŠĖšāŠ¹ š°š«š¢šØš­š”šžš¬š„šžš²
WRIOTHESLEY is the controlling, authoritarian type that feels like a really strict father, all under the guise of ā€˜protecting youā€™ and ā€˜keeping you safeā€™. he veers into delusional territory a little here because he genuinely believes what heā€™s telling you (and himself) and genuinely believes himself to be doing the right thing. he isnā€™t possessive, he just wants to make sure youā€™re going out with safe people. he isnā€™t obsessive, he just wants to know where you are at all times in case an emergency strikes and he has to come find you. he isnā€™t overbearing, he just cares and is proactiveā€”donā€™t you want him to care? canā€™t you see heā€™s only this ā€˜protectiveā€™ because he loves you?Ā 
he has thoroughly convinced himself that this behaviour has nothing to do with jealousy or a desire to keep you locked up, to keep you 100% certainly safe and his forever, and nothing to do with wanting to exert complete control over you, orchestrating your every decisionā€”and heā€™s pretty good at continuously deluding himself into believing it. heā€™s so good, in fact, and his logic is so sound, that it has YOU wondering if youā€™re ā€˜just being crazyā€™, if youā€™re overthinking things or reading too much into them. wriothesley has had a lot taken away from him, after all, and he knows exactly how the mind of criminals tickā€”can you really blame him for being a bit paranoid? maybe youā€™re the one whoā€™s overreacting and being unreasonable. maybe youā€™re even feeling a little guilty for being so ungratefulā€”shouldnā€™t you appreciate having someone who loves and cares for you this much to go to such extents? shouldnā€™t you want to relinquish all power to someone you love equally as much? shouldnā€™t you trust him to make only the best, most sound and appropriate decisions for you? you probably should.Ā 
ā‚ŠĖšāŠ¹ ššš£ššš±
AJAX is kind of like, the typical yandere, and he encompasses several ā€˜typesā€™, evolving throughout the course of your relationship and shapeshifting into different variants depending on the situation itself. and while the other three men seem normal until youā€™re in too deep with them, refraining from showing symptoms of yandere-ness until after youā€™ve been with them for an extended period of time and mean a lot to them, ajax is weird from the very beginning.Ā 
almost immediately you can sense that thereā€™s something slightly off about him, but you canā€™t put your finger on what it is. itā€™s so subtle that it doesnā€™t strike you as particularly dangerous, leading you to merely write it off as one of his quirks and nothing more.Ā 
heā€™s overbearing right from the start, of course; not necessarily enough to be concerning just yet, but enough for it to be abnormalā€”unusualā€”and noticeable (which reminds me of your lil ajax piece!!!). from the instant he sees you, he is irreversibly obsessed with you. you permeate his every waking thought, and eventually begin to leak into his dreams, too, and suddenly he can barely breathe without knowing where you are and what youā€™re doing, his concentration consumed by you.Ā 
he begins stalking youā€”ā€˜overseeingā€™, he had called itā€”making detailed notes of your favourite locations and your most frequented friends. heā€™s constantly got an eye on you one way or another, even if he has to employ other people to do it for him, discreetly reporting their findings every few hours. he tells them youā€™re in dangerā€”which, you are, technicallyā€”and that you must be observed at all times from afar, silently and stealthily.Ā 
ajax is patient and he can play the waiting game, carefully devising and then revising his strategy based on your moves. he loves playing predator and prey, gets a thrill from how the hunt unfoldsā€”much like a battle, itā€™s a story, a rich tapestry you and he are constantly and concurrently creating, together. and that he thinks is so beautiful.
in textbook yandere fashion, once heā€™s gathered a sufficient amount of intel, he begins ā€˜showing upā€™ randomly at your usual spots, ā€˜bumping into youā€™ fortuitously. charming and sweet, the only thing thatā€™s initially unsettling is just how well the two of you get along. ajax is sure not to mimic you too muchā€”he doesnā€™t want to be a mirror, after all, and being too similar is far from a good thing (especially when it matches so well it simply canā€™t be coincidental).
wellā€”that, and the sharp glint in his eye that flares with something dangerous every time you giggle or gush, every time you fall further for him. and once he has you enchanted, ensnared, youā€™re trapped for life, tangled up in him so tightly that he might as well have fused to your flesh.Ā 
ajax likes to tell you it isnā€™t about power and control, but he knows that it is. heā€™s smart, and heā€™s self aware, and he doesnā€™t really care if this is ā€˜wrongā€™ā€”he sees it as necessary and he genuinely believes he knows better than you do. he has to take care of you, or else who will? youā€™re clearly not capable of satisfactorily doing it on your own, so he must (god, how would you manage without him?). even if you oppose him or fight back against him, heā€™s purely convinced youā€™re bull-headed and stubborn, snorting at your wanting to be independent when he truly knows youā€™re too stupid take care of yourself ā€˜properlyā€™ all on your own.
violence is a mainstay of your relationship, but not towards you; never towards youā€”merely towards everyone around you. his jealousy knows no bounds, but you will rarely see it outright. instead, ajax prefers to hone his emotions, to fashion them into a weapon or use them as fuel to thoroughly tear apart anyone who looks your way in a manner he doesnā€™t like. itā€™s his job as your lover and keeper, isnā€™t it?Ā 
ā‚ŠĖšāŠ¹ š¤ššš¦š¢š¬ššš­šØ ššš²ššš­šØ
AYATO knows what he is, and he doesnā€™t care. why should he, when heā€™s sure what heā€™s doing is ultimately correct and heā€™s used to having everything that he wants, and everything going his way, even if he has to force/manipulate it to? heā€™s so skilled at that in particularā€”manipulating situations and events to procure favourable outcomes for himself. in ayatoā€™s mind, you should be grateful that he affords you so many freedomsā€”he could lock you away in the basement or a padded room, chain you to a bed with no entertainment or stimulation save for the books he has so conscientiously selected for you, and no other human contact aside from himself. but he trusts you, and he doesnā€™t want to go to those measures (though rest assured, he has promised you he will not hesitate to reach such heights if he deems it absolutely necessary, no matter how much he doesnā€™t want to; you staying his comes before his personal preferences and pleasures). as such, he allows you to roam the estate grounds under the watchful eye of his closest confidants and most capable guards (usually thoma, unless he is otherwise occupied and busy); he allows you access to letter writing materials (though they must go through two rounds of supervision and revisions before they are approved; once by thoma, and once by ayato himself); he allows you to go out in public as long as you are with him, etc.Ā 
despite these apparent freedoms he affords you, he still picks your outfits out for you each day, and he devises a comprehensive meal plan for you each week, and creates schedules and rules he expects you to follow, thoroughly and meticulously to the letter. it is these subtle forms of ownership that he enjoys the most. he doesnā€™t feel the need to shout from the mountaintops, loudly and aggressively, that you are his, because the fact is so obvious, so evident, the second anyone merely glances at you. you walk like him, you talk like him, you sit, stand, and bow like him, just like he trained you to.Ā 
ayato is also the type of yandere to punish you. he is molding your pretty little mind into exactly what he wants it to be, and that means that undesirable behaviours must be immediately and severely corrected through appropriate punishmentsā€”you must learn, or be taught what is right and what is wrong in ayato terms + definitions, so you will refrain from repeating such behaviour in the future. he is truly crafting you into the most perfect, precious, obedient little dollā€”and having a blast while doing so. itā€™s his little pet passion project, in a way; something he looks forward to working on when he has a moment of spare time.Ā 
ayato was sly and clever with the way he initially enticed you, entrapped you, but underneath his cool, precisely chiseled exterior, ayato is selfish, manipulative, and extremely controlling. all decisions are ultimately made by and go through him. he will skillfully and carefully cut you off from all lifelines and communication, rendering you wholly dependent on him, and then will meticulously chip away at your mind until he sculpts it into exactly what he desiresā€”someone who is as obsessed with him as he is with them. he slowly, stealthily, and steadily induces a severe, irreversible case of stockholm syndrome. the damage he does to your mind is permanentā€”and thatā€™s exactly his goal. you now live for him. your days are marked by his appearances, his comings and goings, and the only thing you have to look forward to is seeing + spending time with him. you live to please him, live to be with him, and become absorbed by him, so you are merely an extension of him and no longer an individual yourself. everything revolves around ayatoā€”he is your entire universe.Ā 
ā‚ŠĖšāŠ¹ š­š”šØš¦šš
THOMA is the most dangerous type of yandere, because thoma is genuine. thomaā€™s feelings are 100% authenticā€”and he earnestly intends to bring you no harm whatsoeverā€”theyā€™re just way too intense. he loves you so much that it veers into insanity, and the passion he feels towards you (and towards keeping you safe + claiming you as his) is so fierce that it physically hurts him to experience, chest blistering with scorching adoration and razored affection, something so dense and so all-consuming that thoma wants to claw through his own flesh and pry his ribcage apart spoke by spoke just so he can experience a shred of relief.Ā 
thoma is, for the most part, an honest guyā€”starkly, brashly honest, so honest it shatters his words and gnaws at his voice, leaving it rough and raw, splintered to shards; but you can always trust he says exactly what he means. he severely lacks self awareness, not even realizing that his behaviour is inappropriate and extreme (he just cares about you SO much! it blinds his rationale and erodes his logic, incapacitating his ability to understand that heā€™s so suffocating it borders on terrifying).Ā 
but what makes thoma so incredibly perilous is his sincerity. he truly just wants to keep you safe, eyes brimming with tears and voice hitching on barely contained emotion as he thoroughly explains to you his logic for stashing tracking devices in your bags or his reasoning for shattering the kneecaps of the man who made you uncomfortable at work, sentiment thick in his throat, words straining with the weight of his honesty, with the desperation for you to understand, to see it his way. he swears to the high heavens that heā€™d never hurt a single hair on your pretty, precious little head, and promises that he doesnā€™t want to scare you, but firmly asserts that he will do whatever it takes to keep you safe.Ā 
and he means it. thoma is, in the most essential sense, your guard dog. heā€™s so sweet towards you, even submissive at times, always subservient to your every wish and whim, your every demand and desire, but heā€™ll fucking rip anyone within a meter of you to pieces with his teeth and bare hands alone if he feels as though you are being threatened in any wayā€”and his standards and definition of ā€˜threatenedā€™ are extreme and absurd, of course, causing him to react in a way that is severely disproportionate to the situation.
it borders on too much all the timeā€”he is too obsessive, too protective, too clingy, but heā€™s also so sweet, so gentle, so incredibly bonafide that you canā€™t help but not be upset with him. he only does what he does because youā€™re his entire world, right? whatā€™s so harmful about that?Ā

Hii! I just wanna say, your blog is life to me! Literally come here to scroll on tough days, and seeing all the character designs and funny comics makes everything better! Really love your art style and designs. I know this has been asked before but I'm wondering if I could use your art as profile pictures? I really appreciate the joy your art brings!
hihi hello!!! first off, thank you so much for your kind words! i'm sorry for how delayed this response has been (im just getting back into tumblr after one of many hiatuses... AGAIN!!!), but it warms my heart on my own tough days to hear you enjoy my designs and comics! it means a lot, so thank you again!! ā¤ļøā¤ļø
now onto your question about using my art as a pfp: that's absolutely fine! by the time i'm answering this it's likely a bit late already, but i hope this clears things up in the long run. im absolutely ok with anyone using my art as pfps/icons, just so long as you remember to credit me, don't claim as own, dont use for AI training, etc etc.... hope that clears things up, and sorry again for taking so long to see this!

idk why this matters to me but in the last few months they've been acknowledging so many things I never ever thought they would. pinof and the touching. the phude multiple times. dapc slime (ok they had merch to sell for that one but still)
no but actually. phil literally said 'i thought we weren't acknowledging it' about the phude and now they just bring it up all the time.
pinof reacts... i still can't believe we're in a post pinof-reacts universe. how did that happen. i was changed permanently--like something shuffled in my dna when i got the notif for pinof reacts 1. this is not a physical reaction but a chemical one that cannot be undone. for something that was so... sacred. and integral. to their existence and history. pinof wasn't generally talked about unless it was pinof time. and even then it was 'it'll be up soon' or 'we just posted it' and then Never talked about outside of that. especially not the first one! we freak out about the We Know You Know in the newsletter but it's Always been like that with pinof 1. so to see them--new (& natural šŸ„ŗ) hair for them both, in a house they bought and built together, in the first few months of giving the gaming channel a second chance--reflect on how it all began? absolutely devastating. and to lean into moments and discuss them in new ways. in territory previously not breached! the 'they're toUching'?!?!? the '11 hour fuck session'!?!? the 'Ā£9000 champagne'?!?!? like hey we're not supposed to talk about that, dan and phil might see!! shhh!! but they're the ones saying it!! absolutely wild.
in a way, it had to happen. especially with where we're at now (them literally selling merch of them holding hands). in order for them to move beyond that... mindset? i guess? that a lot of fans had, they had to defang it. i really see it as one of the biggest walls they've broken down in the way they communicate with us. the 'hey. it's okay. we've seen it. it's not a big deal. we will absolutely make fun of you for it though. but we're good.'
i'm just really curious whose idea it was. (lbr it was probably phil given dans not a react kinda guy. but i'd be lying if i said i didn't want to be in the room where it happened when they talked about actually doing it or not, and what it would mean) (big ad revenue thats for sure šŸ¤£ get it kings)
i will never be able to get phil's 'they touched' out of my head and at this point i wouldn't want to. it's absolutely earned. and i guess it makes me a masochist to enjoy the psychic damage it inflicts on me, but such is life i suppose.
the crafts mention really surprised me! i had contemplated a few different scenarios in how they'd go about it, and i'll be honest i feel like they could've committed to the bit a little more but they're forgiven. like what about glitchy interstitials! cuts to the merch website. found footage inserted between sections! i recognize they don't want to 'scare' their usual audience wirh sudden cuts to intense/graphic content but my immersionnn. absolutely shattered by 'oh we have new merch now btw'. cmon boys you love to lie to us. say theres merch up but you dont know where it came from. just that we should buy it šŸ‘€ or idk, something clever. and i recognize i may sound like a spoilt brat bc i just got a 14 minute long masterpiece of an unexpected dapc revival, but my immersion. i mean i already bought the merch before they shilled it anyways so it didn't influence me regardless šŸ¤£
ultimately we really are in a new era. even beyond just the revival. i think they're really finding their stride--not only in their content (evidenced by a semi-regular schedule) but also creatively, in doing what they want to do, how they want to do it, and truly not giving that much of a fuck anymore. and i'm really happy for them. phil talked a bit about this in his 'rating my icons' video, where he's kind of decided he doesn't care what people on twitter think, and how it's been good for him, and i think we're seeing that reflected in not only his content, but also the gaming channel. they play what they want. they say what they want. and it's just fun. dan going on the record to say he's really enjoying it makes me so happy to hear, because literally december 2022 he believed he'd disappear after WAD. and now, instead, he gets to play games and make stupid jokes and smile and laugh multiple times a week, and he's really happy about it. he gets to be silly and goofy and crude without having to Stress about it. i keep saying it but they're so settled now. and as someone who's followed them through big changes and turbulent times, getting to see them happy after everything... it brings a lot of hope. and i know theyre millionaires. but there's something to looking at someone you fell in love with 15 years ago the same then as you do now. but instead of it being something scary, something you have to hide, something that feels like it can consume you and everything you have--it gets to be something beautiful. and regular. and embraced. you've read this far you get to listen to me wax poetic about them.
we've been thoroughly boiled and maybe, just maybe, it's warming our hearts too.

Drabble Prompt: Post-canon Levi, struggling with chronic pain and mourning his dead loved ones, being visited by his still alive loved ones
Anon, you knew how to talk pretty to me <3
hihi requests are still open btw
I feel like I gotta put a disclaimer or something lmao. So, the length of my drabble requests is usually something between 100-400 words. This request is just an incredibly unexpected exception. it just happened to fit into this idea I already had been thinking of, which was how the remaining 104th would ask Levi to be part of important events in their lives because well, they like the dude lmao, so expect that sort of one-shot soon. Additionally, since I kept reminding myself that this was supposed to be a drabble, I might have glossed over the chronic pain and mourning bits so I'm sorry about that ;;
that being said, 2.4k words of Levi and Gabi be upon ye <3
Now on Ao3!
Tumblr media
The angry hissing of the kettle makes him flinch. It brings a loud ringing to his right ear. Instinctively, he places his right hand over it, and gives his ear a couple of gentle taps; it's more of a grounding gesture, a distraction from the buzzing. He usually keeps watch over the kettle, so that he can lower the heat just right before it gets a chance to scream at him.Ā 
Tumblr media
He realises then that he must have spaced out while waiting. Itā€™s alright, he thinks. Itā€™s been like that a lot, recently. Heā€™s been like that. Lost in thought-- lost in time, if he allowed himself to be precise. The last days, weeks even, as the temperatures started to drop, blended into each other. Thereā€™s a little calendar on his bedside table, it had been a birthday gift from Armin ā€“ or had that been Mikasaā€™s? He isnā€™t sure, he had received an absurd number of presents from the kids last year, it had been hard to keep track of who gave him what and now the fact escaped him. Turning the pages of the little calendar, with its delicate botanical illustrations on each day, quickly became part of his morning routine, and so he was sure that time was passing at all. The stillness of the routine, he guesses, made him like this.
His vision blurs momentarily while he scoops the tea leaves into the teapot. He squints, trying to will his good eye to focus, but all he gets in return is a throb in his right eye. After putting the tea canister away, he presses the inner sides of his wrists to both eyes, placing just enough pressure to relieve the discomfort. When he opens his eyes again, he is pleased to find he can read the small print on the canister an armā€™s length away.Ā 
Thereā€™s a loud slam coming from the front of the house, followed by footsteps coming further into the house.
He quickly recognizes the heavy stomping as Gabiā€™s gait. Sheā€™s always been so loud.
Gabi crosses the arch into the small kitchen and dining area.Ā 
ā€œDonā€™t slam my doors,ā€ he says as a greeting, slowly turning his head to his left side, trying to catch a glimpse of her in his periphery.
ā€œAye, aye,ā€ the kid waves her hand, shoots him a teasing grin, ā€œsomeone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.ā€
Levi hums in response but doesnā€™t say anything else. He busies himself with placing everything they need for their morning tea and coffee on a metal tray on the counter, which Gabi takes from him as soon as itā€™s ready and sets it on the table.
He grabs his cane from where he had hooked it on one of the kitchen drawers. He has been leaning against the counter, his right leg supporting most of his weight all this time. He braces himself for the sharp pain that will surely surge from his bad knee, through his left hip and up his spine. Cold mornings like this one and being still in one place for long will do that to him. Itā€™s not so bad. It could be worse.
It takes 4 steps to get from the stove to his chair, which Gabi has already pulled out for him. It sits at an angle that allows him to easily slide down on it and rest his right elbow on top of the table, leaning back and against his good side.
ā€œI have something that will cheer you up,ā€ she holds a couple of envelopes in her hand and waves them at him, ā€œYouā€™ve got mail!ā€
He nods at her in acknowledgement but does not take his attention away from preparing his first batch of tea of the day. Thereā€™s a ritual to it, it almost feels like, and he doesnā€™t want to mess it up. Not when the ringing in his ear is still there, the building pressure in the upper back part of his eyeballs, and the cold air seeping into his bones through his thick jumper. Oh, how he needs a good cup of tea right now.
While Levi waits for it to steep, he grabs the papers that she had shoved in his face, squints his eyes at the first envelope and finds that he is unable to make out much of the handwriting. He brings it closer to his face, squints harder, steals a quick glance across the table and hopes Gabi isnā€™t paying him any mind, too preoccupied with choosing from the bag of pastries she brought with her. It is with an impassive expression that he hands the stack of envelopes back.Ā 
ā€œRead it for me.ā€ A beat and then he adds, a little reluctant: ā€œPlease.ā€
He knows Gabi prefers coffee in the mornings, and black tea in the evenings, so he makes sure to have a fresh brew of the former whenever he knows sheā€™s coming over; so, with shaky hands, Levi gets to prepare her cup of coffee. While he enjoys the aroma of it, he remains faithful to tea; at first, he thought he didnā€™t like it because he had butchered his first attempts at brewing it. But even after Onyankopon had taught him how to do it properly and he had enjoyed his cup, it didnā€™t bring the same comfort as tea. It just never hit the spot.
She shoots him a mischievous grin, ā€œOh, you sure? What if I read something personal, hm?ā€Ā 
Levi just shakes his head, scoffing at the idea of Gabi finding his junk mail fascinating.
ā€œIs this how I find out you have a secret lover youā€™re exchanging raunchy love letters with?ā€ Gabi teases, wiggling her eyebrows at him.
He lets out a tired sigh and rolls his eyes, ā€œjust wanna be done with it, ā€ he stirs the milk into Gabiā€™s coffee, which now has turned into a cup of milk with coffee. ā€œWe have a lot to prepare for tonight.ā€
She clicks her tongue at him, but still rips the first envelope open, ā€œMr. Levi, your reading wonā€™t improve if you keep doing that,ā€ she jokingly scolds him.
Although Levi mentally recognises handing her and Falco stuff he couldnā€™t be bothered reading before, thatā€™s not the case this time. Heā€™ll let her think that for now, though, because he doesnā€™t want to mention the pressure building in the back of his bad eye, itā€™s not important and she, a kid, doesnā€™t need to know his newly found ailment of the week. He can see just fine around him right now. He can see Gabiā€™s big eyes and playful smile at the other side of the table, and thatā€™s good enough; smaller details, he doesnā€™t feel he can do them, not without making himself go dizzy with a migraine.
Levi slides the cup of coffee to her and is pleased with himself when she approves of the colour of her drink.
ā€œItā€™s from Armin,ā€ she announces as she scans the letter.Ā 
From this angle, the soft morning light illuminating her face and thanks to his faulty vision, Gabiā€™s image stirs his memory. His heart faintly constricts as he is reminded of the many times Hange read their research reports to him during breakfast in the mess hall before presenting them to Erwin. Levi always wondered how they could read so fast, sometimes he even doubted they were actually reading at all, their words barely being able to catch up with her eyes; he never asked about it, maybe reading came easy to them as numbers did to him.
A high-pitched squeal from Gabi startles him, bringing him back to the here and now.
ā€œOhā€¦ ohh, Mr. Levi,ā€ she starts, her smile widening by the second ā€œThis is good news!ā€
Gabi makes a show of clearing her throat and then starts reading ā€œDear Captain, I hope this letter finds you well and in good health.ā€Ā 
Levi canā€™t help but let a sardonic huff at the irony of the greetings but doesnā€™t let himself be bothered by it. He has written only a handful of personal letters throughout his life, and by now he knows itā€™s just something youā€™re supposed to say because jumping straight to the point isnā€™t acceptable, or so thatā€™s what he had been told.Ā 
Gabi continues reading Arminā€™s words to him. For the most part, itā€™s a standard letter coming from him: he asks Levi how heā€™s dealing with the changing of the seasons, how Gabi and Falco are faring, if business at the tea shop has been good, if thereā€™s anything Levi needs that he canā€™t get in town so that Armin or the others can get it for him. He tells him a little about the country heā€™s writing from, he even includes a photograph. Then, after the expected pleasantries, Gabi can barely hold her excitement and starts reading faster, trying so hard not to trip over her words.
ā€œIf Iā€™m being sincere, we would prefer to ask you in person,ā€ Gabi stops for a second to look up at him from the paper, gauging for a reaction and finding nothing, she continues.Ā 
Armin apologises for not being able to visit him before the holidays, Annie included, and so it is implied that he wonā€™t be attending tonightā€™s reunion.Ā 
Sometime during the last five years, the Alliance brats had decided to make showing up at Leviā€™s doorstep together once a year a sort of custom; the first time it happened was during an early winter, a blizzard had stopped them from leaving Leviā€™s until the next morning. It had been a really nice evening despite the awful weather, Levi remembers, after everyone pitched in one way or another, they all shared a simple but hearty meal together. It was Connie who jokingly said they should do it every year. The following year, Onyankopon, Gabi and Falco joined them.Ā 
This year would be their fourth, and the first someone wouldnā€™t make it. That fact sits heavily in Leviā€™s chest, stealing the spotlight from his throbbing eye.
ā€œ...Annie and I have decided to get married. The both of us would like you to officiate our ceremony!ā€ unable to contain her excitement, she tears her eyes away from the paper and looks at Levi. ā€œHuh?! This is good news! Whatā€™s with the constipated face?!ā€
That doesnā€™t sound right. It figures that Annie and Armin would be the first to marry; in a way, he is happy for them, they clearly care for each other. No, that part is easy to understand. Their union is logical to anyone who knows the couple. What Levi canā€™t figure out is why they are asking him such a thing.
He clears his throat, assumes itā€™s been 3 minutes and his tea is ready to be poured and so he distracts himself with that.
When he doesnā€™t answer Gabi, she picks up where she left off.Ā 
He isnā€™tā€¦ well, he isnā€™t that close to either of them. Heā€™s sure Annie must have other relatives that could step in his stead. Maybe a brother, a cousin. Even Jean or Reiner would be better options than Levi. He isnā€™t good with words or people like they are, he couldnā€™t possibly give them a speech about something foreign to him as it is that kind of love, thatā€™s what people expect, right? His title of Captain is obsolete in this new world, so it canā€™t be that either. Hell, he has never been to a fucking wedding.Ā 
Justā€¦ why him?
As expected, Armin doesnā€™t really go into the details of their choice but does let Levi know they do not expect a fast answer and that they do not want him to feel pressured to accept it, despite how much it would mean to them if he did. Armin asks if thereā€™s anything in particular that he would like for his birthday, as it is a month away, and closes the letter by saying he looks forward to seeing him and everyone then.
When the letter is closed and put back into its envelope, silence falls around them. For a moment the only sound that can be heard is the clinking of tableware as Levi places the teacup back on its saucer.
It bothers him, that he knows he will be letting Armin down by refusing something that any other well-adapted person would consider an honour. But the thought of embarrassing him and himself, because he gave an awkward, most likely insensitive, speech, mortifies him. No, he canā€™t put them and their guests through that. He will find a way to make it up to the couple, maybe he canā€¦ he doesnā€™t know yet, but he will come up with something.
As he finishes his first cup, Levi realises that at some point while he was lost in thought, the ringing in his ear has subsided and now itā€™s back to that muffled, cotton-in-ear sensation heā€™s used to and he doesnā€™t feel his eyeball pulsating anymore. Glancing at Gabi, he notices she is trying really hard not to say something, her brow furrowed as she takes a sip of her own drink, followed by a big bite of her pastry. Flakes stick to the corner of her mouth and for once it doesnā€™t disgust him. Instead, it makes his lips twitch as if going into a smile.
ā€œI can help you... if you want,ā€ she says eventually, sounding uncharacteristically careful and small of her.
Levi quirks an eyebrow ā€œHelp? with what?ā€Ā 
She shrugs, ā€œHow toā€¦ tell them you donā€™t want to,ā€ she avoids looking at him for the first time, finding the flakes on her plate more interesting. She shrugs again and tilts her head to the side, a thin line of a smile appearing on her face. ā€œ...or prepare for the ceremony.ā€
Not unlike many times before, Gabiā€™s words render him speechless, if only for a moment. He spares his tea a glance and he thinks: itā€™s bold of her to be so upfront about offering her help to him, and had it been any other morning, one where he couldnā€™t think past the constant ache in his body, he wouldā€™ve chewed her head off for simply trying to help him because he himself doesnā€™t know how to accept that kindness.
This kid is trying her best and he canā€™t help but feel somewhat proud of that.
ā€œYou have shit on your face. Here,ā€ he points to where the flakes would sit on his own face and picks his refilled teacup back up.
Gabi quickly wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, getting most of the flakes off. Levi gives her a thumbs-up with his free hand.
ā€œIā€™ll think about it,ā€ he finally concedes and tries to ignore the little happy dance she does in her seat.
This time, when the amber liquid touches his lips, itā€™s remarkably sweeter than before.
