I’m running out of ideas so I’ll just upload this JM drawing I did back in 2022. (You can also see how much my art has improved)

Attack On Titan - Chapter 137

[hexesandroses]

spoilers for the last aot episode?

Zeke as a character means so much to me and it's disheartening that he isn't talked about so much even in his death - if only in the context of Levi fulfilling his promise to Erwin.

He suffered his entire life. No one really loved him for who he was. To him, existing in that cruel world was meaningless; if all people die in the end, what's the point? Everything he ever cared about, he lost. His last hope - Eren - betrayed him, and though he'd doubted Eren's words from the beginning, he still chose to hope that maybe Eren will share his pain. That he'll understand, that he, too, was damaged by Grisha. The prospect of being alone in his suffering was too terrible for Zeke to accept, so he kept hoping, even when Eren told him outright that he was wrong. Of course Zeke lost in the end. He always loses. Life is meaningless and there is very little to cherish in a world as dark and terrible as theirs.

But then Armin helps him understand; perhaps it's not so bad after all. If only he could keep playing catch with Ksaver, Zeke would be glad to be born again and again. If only he could be young again. The simple act of throwing that ball back and forth could keep Zeke happy forever.

And it's just so touching and so terribly devastating to me that Zeke only came to see the beauty in the little things seconds before his death. It was such a good send off though; the same man who had always believed in the euthanasia plan helped stop the rumbling because he finally accepted that life was worth cherishing, even if just a little.

I could go on about Zeke forever because he really is my favorite aot character, but seeing chapter 137 animated made me numb and I need sad Zeke edits NOW. I love him so much. He's so precious to me. His ass cheeks too. Holy shit

(Also he is literally the song 'who we are' by hozier. "you and i burned out our steam chasing someone else's dream???? how can something be so much heavier but so much less than what it seems????" KILL MEEEE)

I've been in my aot mourning mode as of late and wanted to share a moment from 137 manga chapter that I found visually disturbing

It's because of these two I've been crying for the past half hour.

Despite being a year older than Porco, in these panels Marcel appears as a twelve year old boy since yk he died at the age of twelve.

This whole juxtaposition of twelve-year-old older brother standing next to his almost twice as old younger brother really brings out for me the tragedy of the Warrior Unit. As in, they were still children when they were forced to face the cruelty of war and had their childhood as well as their lives stolen from them.

Attack On Titan's Anime Original Ending

I have an unhealthy obsession with this animanga. There, I said it. No, but really, it’s more than just love. You know I parade it around like it’s a gift to humanity from god and it’s the perfect work of fiction, but it’s not (UNLESS you scrap everything past chapter 90 in which case yes it is perfect. I’d rather have a partial conclusion than an awkward one.), because we got Game Of Thronesed. With the release of the final chapter, the fanbase was extremely divisive, and with the 8 extra pages included later on because only god knows why, everyone just hated the whole thing. And that gave birth to AOE, Anime Original Ending, because you know, AoT, AoE, you get the point. When I caught up to the manga in 2021, it was at 137 and I read every chapter (2) since then in the few minutes since release, and I was pretty much okay with it. Like it was not the masterpiece I expected from Hajime Isayama (I also have a huge problem with idolisation. Like every single person I idolized has let me down terribly. Thank god I still have Toby Fox and Tatsuki Fujimoto.), but still, it was just fine. I just went two years pretending that never happened and Attack On Titan is still the same perfect manga that inspired me to pursue writing. 

That was until last Wednesday, when I went down the AOE rabbit hole and spent like 24 hours doing nothing but that. I slept like 2 hours in between I think. And now I have crippling anxiety about the last episode of the anime. As a redditor aptly put it

 “If it happens Yams will turn into one of the greatest creators of fiction in history

If it doesn't he will turn into one of the greatest clowns in fiction history”.

I’ve read every theory that people have written in the subreddit, and it’s pretty compelling. There are some subtle differences between the anime and the manga that could either be just because he forgor or foreshadowing, and knowing Isayama, it’s highly likely the latter. Seriously, the plot consistency and subtle symbolism and foreshadowing and the storytelling quality of everything up till chapter 90 is unparalleled, so as awkward as the rest of it was, I’m still holding out hope. If the last episode just turns out to be a straight adaptation I am going to be so pissed because with how much evidence there is it just feels like the dumbest freaking thing to do. I would agree that some parts are a bit of a reach but like, the rest? Impeccable. I kinda wish I didn’t read the theories like before when I thought this was just delusional because if this happens, this is going to be like the biggest thing to happen in anime history. It would be flipping game changing.

I know I shouldn’t care this much, it’s just a dumb anime, who cares, right? But as I alluded to before, I have sort of a personal connection to this, even when I joined at like the very end of it. I was born too late :(, I would have been 7 when the first season aired. It meant so much to me even when I joined this late, imagine how much more it would have been if I had been reading it as it aired (emphasis on read, because Season 2 came out a whopping 4 years after Season 1.) I really hated doing art as a child. Not because I had a distaste for it, but I was kind of a perfectionist. I didn’t want to make anything that wasn’t a masterpiece. It’s dumb, and I still have that feeling, but seeing Isayama make such a storytelling marvel at his first shot at a serialized manga, that was really inspiring (and caused me to set a nigh-unattainable goal :P). It is dumb, but I hope you see now why I want to see it become the best that it can be. There is just so much freaking potential in all the theories that I have read. I know I’m hoping for too much but I just can’t accept the fact that it has such a mediocre ending. \*sigh\* I really need to get a life don’t I?

In the paths, Bertholdt's eyes were shrouded but here...

[ldwoolart]

Am I the only one not upset with the leaks? First of all we are getting tiny glimpses of a chapter with no context and second we still have 2 chapters left after this one. I get being worried about how the manga is going to end but the amount of anger and hateful comments I am seeing before the chapter has even released is a little ridiculous.

[mango-heichoe]

Not that anyone really cares, BUT here are some of my favorite panels from chapter 137

I mean...come on....levi you're doing amazing sweetie ❤

Jean tearing up made me tear up

Ok, I hate the whole armin talk no jutsu we got this chapter just as much as the next person...but I'm sorry, this panel is just like God tier to me and I think it's amazing

It's not even the fact that he's blowing eren up...just armin and Mikasas faces gave me chills.

[meinqiwu]

a moment of silence ✋😔

[momofloss]

Finally I read the English translation...and honestly this chapter gives me chills. I liked it. Of course I want to see Eren again, and for him to interact with Mikasa and Armin but for now, I am honestly happy to see them alive🥺

[super-peace-fangirl]

Sorry but Levi adopting new children every chap
