#I HATE ISAYAMA

[sonofthesaiyans]

I'm suddenly reminded again how pissed off I still am about Sasha Braus on Attack on Titan.

Will we EVER get any justice for that fucking stunt? Or for how that stupid ending just glossed over all the characters who were killed for no reason at all in the end?

Yeah I'm still angry at the ending, at season four, and the final 48 chapters of Attack on Titan, none more so than everything from Assassin's Bullet onward. So many offensive scenes associated with Isayama's determined effort to abuse and obliterate one character for his own sick games. Hajime Isayama is a truly impressive kind of asshole, because what he did...........A fucking nightmare that actually did come true.

I still dream of the day where I spit on his work right in front of his face.

And oh yeah, fuck Gabi Braun, if she has any remaining fans here, sorry not sorry. She's an overplayed, OP bitch. And so is her big brother Eren Yeager.

Yeah seeing images of that one moment in anime that left you bitter like few others have will bring some pretty hateful memories back to the surface.

Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, Sasha.......

Sasha Motherf'ing Braus. God it hurts. Every freaking day.

There is no Attack on Titan without Sasha.

Also worthy of mention.......

And people still think Hajime Isayama gave his female leads anything resembling a fair shake? I think there's plenty of evidence to the contrary there, with the aforementioned just barely scratching the surface. 👎

They all deserve a second lease on life.

i miss them (fictional character i think about literally every single day)

forever in shambles over them :(

"There's still meaning in moving towards tomorrow, even when it means shouldering the weight of our past sins

The devil murmurs in a low voice

As we continue forth on the path of corpses..."

IT'S DONE! WELL AND TRULY DONE! The actual cover for my Attack on Titan longfic, Reasons.

I've had this image in my head for almost 4 years at this point. I had to sketch it in my notebook, and when I got sick of trying to draw it traditionally, I took a picture with my phone and digitally inked over that picture. As a result, the actual file is massive, but there's a lot more detail when it's not shrunk down and run through filters.

(The unfiltered, unblurred image)

I am never going to find a Krita brush that brings back my love of digital painting, am I?

Do you folks think Isayama appreciates what he wasted with Sasha? Scenes like this show she could be a truly effective warrior and her unusual tactics and fast reflexes made her a valuable wild card in the fight against the Titans. And yet we NEVER got the scene of her taking out a Titan singlehandedly.

No. Instead she's used as a plot device for a thinly disguised "replacement" who nobody likes even before the events of Assassin's Bullet (Chapter 105, for those of you who forgot when this travesty unfolded) and even her last words are relegated to one last gag instead of something that pays more respect to who she was.

She is more than just "Potato Girl". She is Sasha Braus, a character too good to have been abused by Isayama in the way she was. Something much greater here was lost because this bastard put his energy in the wrong places.

If you're somehow still at a loss as to why I have spent years venting about this, recall scenes like this and that time she saved Kaya all by herself. Or just any time where she put her best foot forward no matter how scared she might've been.

There is no Attack on Titan without Sasha.

Isayama is stronger than me because if I created a manga with such a strong anti-genocide and anti-war message with a character that is metaphorical for how humanity cannot peacefully co-exist with eachother just for the fanbase to adopt the same fascist ideology that he was trying to warn us about, crashing out isn't even the worst thing I'd do

Isayama, you deserve a better audience </3

[distortedclouds]

I'm honestly sooo pissed at Isayama for not giving us more geo-politics at least as raw information and not necessarily as part of the plot

Like, she clearly see Marley had two continents and was making it's way unto the third when at war with the mid-east alliance . But also what's that on the left? THEY HAVE THE AMERICAS TOO!!?!

Is all of "Europe" part of the mid-east alliance??

Also, fan the colossals swim faster than they can walk? Because otherwise it wouldn't make sense why 80% of the world is dead if you account a radius from Paradis going in all directions

Quick Poll: For our two birthday Scouts.....

Seeing how it was their special day recently, I thought I'd make things interesting so tell me.....

For my next couple of posts, I hope to discuss Lynne and Ymir in greater depth. Which would you like to see first?

A post listing all of my headcanons for Lynne, one of Attack on Titan's most overlooked Scouts?

Or.....

An in depth look at how Ymir's story could have and should have progressed had she lived?

I wanna gauge everyone's interest. You all have ONE DAY to respond.

So make sure you do. All it takes is ONE click.

Historia Reiss EASILY could’ve carried the whole series, or one of her own by herself......There was more than enough there for an even greater saga that could compete with Eren’s. 

But instead we got:

Talk about your wasted potential. Isayama essentially gave up on her. 

Bring any AOT character who's cuter than Historia, I'll wait 🥰 she's the cutest 🥹❤️

Queen of the walls

Attack on Titan has writing and character writing flaws and that makes me sad.

Ok this has been on my mind for a while and I need to throw up somewhere.

Leaving aside the brutal universe of Aot, I think the main characters in this universe have a really toxic relationship with each other. Of course, that's not surprising in a series with this kind of world plot. But what I mean is that even characters who are in alliances with each other, who have friendships, who have romantic relationships, they don't act in a healthy way towards each other. And the fandom either pretends it didn't happen, ignores it or romanticizes it

However, one of the things that I find strange and puzzling about the series is that the strong characters in the series are not strong because of their own efforts, but because of the extraordinary powers they have gained, such as Mikasa and Levi. With the information we got from the recent interview, it seems to have been concluded that Mikasa is now "bad at sports" and by the finale she has become an average woman. As for Levi, the BadBoy spin off also made it clear that if the kid Levi's powers hadn't awakened, he would have been killed by the guys who beat him up.

Apart from Mikasa, the other example of a strong woman is Annie. Annie is the only strong female character we see in the series who has trained herself naturally from a young age without "extraordinary powers". She specializes in martial arts, technique. She is good at self-protection. In Lost Girls, where she shows her skills in detail, she is someone who has defeated average, untrained men in a bar. But I question whether she would have gotten a double kill like Mikasa if she had faced a man with the same strength or a strong trained man, or if there were several of them, not just one.

I mean, Isayama knows that female characters in particular are a bit inferior to men in terms of physical strength, and he gets out of this dead end by adding unusual biological superhero powers to female characters along with other male characters and somehow manages to cover it up well. And no analysic, no fan questions this.

I'm an illustrator, but I'm also a person who likes to create characters, writing the scripts and stories of the characters I create in the corners of my notebooks. I've been in this fandom for a long time and aot is one of the series that inspired me. I loved the world-building so much that I even created a character for it. But over time, when I realized that there were writing flaws in this series (I started to see its flaws especially because I was hanging out in other fandoms), I realized that if you want to place a character (oc as you call it) in that world and make it important and powerful, you need to add superman powers, especially if this character is a woman, because even if you train yourself, you are no different from an ordinary npc. Aot tells you this directly. If you don't have superpowers or you're not strong, you're not special and you don't have an important function in the series.

Or are you shipping your character after a canon character? Don't expect any kind of loyal loving relationship dynamics because you will find similar scenarios where they will leave you to die to fulfill their mission or purpose even if you don't want to. Aot really leaves no room for imagination.

[hazy-pink-skies]

when lunarelles deleted all their eremin art bc they didnt like the way aot ended. yeah that was like the burning of the library of alexandria for me

[an-armfish]

truly harrowing to have an all time favorite character be from attack on titan, where they canonically smell like shit and have poop-stained clothing. like what do you mean the character plaguing my entire life is nasty like that? how can i face that truth and be okay?

[sonofthesaiyans]

CRINGE!!! 

Sorry, nothing will ever make this reference okay. 

Keep your poison out of our higher quality cartoons, Spazyama. 

donnie with the scout salute <333

[harley-rose25]

Saw that isayama said in another interview that Eren would lend his jackets to Mikasa when she was cold, and im like very kinda in a way about it; cause, like, one one hand im like you cant just retroactively add more romantic details to your story to make your cannon ship better, but on the other hand if Isayama said that Eren gave his old jacket to historia id probably eat that shit up. Gobble gobble nom nom

So, am i annoyed?.. a little. Am a hypocrite? I quess so 😑
