#I relate to Reiner lowkey

Attack on Titan characters and where they would take you on a first date

MDNI 18+ not explicit but sexual encounters implied

Featuring Armin, Jean, Connie, Reiner, Eren, Levi, Erwin, Hange, and Mikasa

Armin:

Bowling! I feel like he cute and awkward and it would just be the two of you but little do you know a few lanes over are all his friends spying because he was sooo excited about getting to know you. He had an extra pair of socks in his car? in case you didn’t wear any so your pretty feet didn’t have to touch the gross shoes! Made out in his car when he dropped you off at your house then walked you to your front door blushing.

Jean:

Taking you to the movies! Total sucker for the yawn & put his arm around your shoulder move. He’s get you whatever popcorn/drink/candy whatever you want. Depending on the movie, if you got sleepy or scared and laid your head on his shoulder and he’d kinda smirk to himself and he thinks he’s got it in the bag. Would try to make out with you in the theater if nobody was there like total teenagers. If reader was willing, definitely would go home with you but would be very respectful to let you know he wants you but doesn’t want to fuck on the first date

Eren

I think maybe a nice walk in a park. On a cold morning and you both bring your dogs after you get coffee at a little cafe his girl friend recommended. He’d give you his scarf if you were cold and I feel like he’d give you the cutest forehead kiss before the most intimate sparks flying kiss on the lips that you forgot it was winter. He wouldn’t end the date until you guys decided when your next date or time he’d see you would be. Second date is dinner at his apartment :)

Levi

I think he’d take you to like top golf or some type of sporting outdoorsy thing? If not top golf maybe a soccer or baseball game? He would help you if you’ve never golfed and like line himself up behind you to show you. He’d “accidentally” brush his lips against your ear/neck to see how you react. Would ask you to grab a drink or something after and would say suggestive things the whole time to watch you blush and squeeze your thighs together! After a few drinks you go back to his nice ass apartment and fuck for hours. You’re attached at the hip after that day and there isn’t even a question about a second date.

Connie

I feel like he’d take you to a basketball game and he’d prepare and buy you a tshirt or jersey ahead of time to change into and then he’d keep telling you how good you look in it <3 he’d ask you if you want to hold his hand & he’d buy you an expensive sports arena drink. You guys end up on the kiss cam and Connie blushes so motherfucking hard you can’t help but giggle. He tells you after that he’s sorry your first kiss was in front of all these people. You have such a good time and neither of you want the date to end so you end up walking around after and back at your place you stay up late all night talking! You make out in between deep conversations and you make popcorn and watch movies. He ends up falling asleep on your couch even though you told him he could sleep in your bed. Sexy ass morning sex and takes you out to breakfast.

Reiner

Study date! Your first date is a little “lame” as other people would put it but you meet him in one of your college courses and he asked you to study biology with him at the library. Asks you for your coffee order ahead of time and brings it to you!! You flirt and giggle a lot while you go over course materials and he walks you back to your apartment after. You tell him you’re ordering takeout for dinner and asks if he wants to join and he does, super lowkey and doesn’t even kiss you. But he does ask for your second date to not be school related

Erwin

Museum or book shop date, something educational! It’s such a cozy vibe and he pushes a piece of hair behind your ear while you’re reading. He asks if you want to meet up with his friends for a happy hour afterwards and thinks it’s funny how polite you are to Hange and Levi. On the walk back to the car he notices you’re chilly and gives you his coat. You end up talking about some book you have and invite him into your apartment to find it. You end up on his lap in a steamy couch make out session but he doesn’t let it escalate even though you want it so bad. He stares so intensely in your eyes and tells you he’s borrowing the book and you will have to see him again to get it back <3

Hange

They ask you to go to a candle making class or some type of crafty workshop. They’re so silly and messy and you both can’t stop laughing. Your pottery/candle/painting whatever you made turns out pretty messed up but you both had fun. They hold your hand as you walk to grab some lunch afterwards. After lunch you go your separate ways and you get a text as soon as you got home saying “can I please see you again?” Hange wouldnt do anything on your first date I feel like but the second date they’re going to kiss you as soon as they knock on your door for the second date.

Mikasa

Asks you to a concert! Some indie artsy person you haven’t heard of at a small venue. She will stand behind you and wrap her arms around your shoulders as you guys sway to the music and she kisses you at the slow songgg. Car sex on the way home. She makes sure like 10 times that you’re okay with it though. She plays with your hair after.

A/N my app is being so stupid so I gave up trying to edit this I’m sorry if there is typos lmaoo

Hey!if you do headcanons can you do platonic relationship headcanons for Mikasa and Reiner and maybe a parental relationship with Levi?also you don’t have to do all of them lolol (and I would prefer a fem reader please!)

aot platonic relationship headcannons

ft — levi ackerman, mikasa ackerman, reiner braun.

warnings — none, which is surprising for something aot related

a/n — MY FIRST REQUEST! I’M SO HAPPY!

LEVI ACKERMAN

you and all the rest of the gang lowkey viewed levi as a father figure of some sorts.

it makes sense since you were orphaned and young, craving for parental affection and stuff.

you all had been through a lot together, and levi’s dealt with a lot of loss in his lifetime.

he would let the beast titan chuck him like a baseball before ever admitting he held any amount of care for you (but we all know it’s in there somewhere).

he’s a great mentor and parental figure, despite being harsh.

i definitely feel like you could just go and vent to him about whatever, and he’d either just sit there and listen silently or give a few words of advice.

DEFINITELY the type to scold you. you and the crew would be doing all kinds of shit (obv spurred on by hange) and he’d be on the verge of losing his shit.

“for god’s sake, would you all just FUCK O–”

but usually when he’s annoyed by your antics, he’d just glare at you or say “tch..” under his breath.

a great hand to hand combat teacher, but you’d get absolutely shitted on whenever you’d fight him. 

he’d blankly state where you went wrong, what you could’ve done, or if you missed a blind spot as he’s throwing out punches and sidestepping. 

after the sessions, you’d always leave with a bunch of muscle pain and bruises.

calls you brat so frequently to the point it was a bit of a shocker whenever he’d call you by your actual name.

you and the squad have accidentally called him ‘dad’ on MANY occasions and usually he’d just side eye you.

gets so MAD whenever a place is unclean or if you’ve made a mess.

“y/n.. get over here. clean this mess you’ve made. 

“on it dad!” you’d salute and he’d threaten to throw you into a titans mouth if you didn’t hurry the fuck up.

overall, a traumatised man makes an elite parental figure for a bunch of equally traumatised teenagers.

MIKASA ACKERMAN

you guys met in the cadet corps, and you were basically in awe with how she seemed to do everything so effortlessly. 

you noticed how she hung around with eren and armin a lot, but stayed alone whenever all the girls stayed in the barracks. 

it wasn’t that she was hostile, she was just quiet and probably passed the eyes of a lot of people. 

you decided to make your way up to her and strike up a conversation. at first, you could tell she was quite reserved, but overtime as your friendship blossomed you grew fond of her dry humour and passive expression.

through mikasa, you also grew quite close to eren and armin. 

through you, mikasa got closer to the rest of the squad. 

DEFINITELY the mother hen of the group. 

constantly badgering you over injuries you suffered, or telling you to eat or to get some rest. 

would probably slam you during training sessions, but would try her best to help you with technique and forms. 

i feel like she’s the type of person to ominously hover behind you as you’re talking to someone else and kinda just stare at them until they get uncomfortable and leave.

it wouldn’t even be on purpose, she just wanted to hang around you silently. 

HOWEVER, could definitely scare off someone who’s visibly pissing you off with a silent death stare.

the best person to tell secrets to, she would never tell a soul.

late night talks where you’d just talk about everything and anything under the stars.

she’d open up to you about eren and the mixed feelings she felt about him.

you’d also open up to her about whatever, and she’d be the best listener.

gives very straightforward advice but it’s oddly comforting.

overall, a 10/10 friend in whether you want someone to confide in, or someone to beat a dude’s ass. 

REINER BRAUN (before the armoured titan reveal)

best older brother figure!!!!!

for some reason, it felt easy to trust him.

he was just a dude everyone liked and respected, since he was so good natured and down to earth.

he’d also give crazy bear hugs.

you’d widen your arms for a casual hug and he’d absolutely engulf you.

it may or may not seem like it, but he’s got a great sense of humour.

i feel like he’d be scarily good at card games.

he’d teach you how to shuffle and how to play loads of random games.

the only time you were ever able to beat him was in a game of snap, but that was only because he sneezed the moment the cards were matched up and you slapped your hands on top of them.

you cheer and celebrate, and he just lets you have it despite the unfair circumstances.

but don’t think he’ll ever let you win again. 

has really good vibes and is just a guy you can’t hate.

overall, a very great and supportive buddy.

Hi! The last ask about looking to your writing for inspo had me thinking how do you manage the dialogue to writing background and emotions ratio? When I’m writing I feel like my weakness is dialogue and I get too caught up in descriptive writing rather than using the dialogue to move the story along and I worry it can be burdensome to read. I also feel like I struggle with over explaining every detail in a story to make it comprehensive and I wanted to know how you deal with that since TBAW deals with accounting stuff that not much people would know about so how do you cut back and make sure you don’t over explain if that makes sense?

oooo thank you for the question!!

long response below the cut -- i hope this answered your question? sorry if i was rambly!

also check out the 2023 summer cringefest writing challenge!! cool opportunity to just let go and have fun with your writing instead of trying to make a masterpiece

this is going to sound so stupid, but in my early days of writing, i used to over-describe things because i wanted the scene to look exactly the same way as it did in my head. with one fic that i was writing, one of the characters was eating a piece of cheese. literally, for no reason, i just thought it would be weird if he was just sitting there, so i gave him a piece of cheese to munch on.

IMMEDIATELY, in the comments, people were like "why is x eating cheese? what does that mean?" because i mentioned it so many times and i was like oh shit, because it doesn't mean anything!!!

that was sooooo embarrassing for me that now i only write what's important in a scene because that piece of cheese haunts me 💀💀💀

in all seriousness, readers are very perceptive and they can fill in the scene even if you don't describe every single detail. it can be hard to determine what's "important" in a scene, and that's still something i struggle with, but i try to stick to:

change in tone - if someone's having a normal conversation but the other person pisses them off, I'll say like "Jean snapped" or "Eren hissed" or w/e 💀 otherwise i like to stick to "said/says" because it doesn't interrupt the flow of reading.

body language/movement - instead of saying "Jean was angry" to set the scene, i could describe instead how he "clenched his fists down at his side and you could see the muscle in his jaw twitching" or smthn like that.

internal dialogue - sometimes I'll "pause" dialogue so a character can have an internal crisis, but i try to keep it short -- or if not, I'll have the other character comment on the long pause 💀 "snapping you out of your thoughts" type thing.

dialogue is fun because i think you can convey a lot through conversation. like the pauses in conversation, what words people use when they're talking, or what they decide to share. dialogue sets the scene just as much as emotions and descriptors do, in my opinion.

(also, lowkey writing physical scenes like smut/fighting/kissing really helps with this??? i think it's because you have to keep track of the character's body parts/clothes while also moving forward the dialogue and also not getting lost in the details? idk maybe it's just me 💀)

in terms of over-explaining in relation to the accounting stuff in tbaw..... honestly, i just try to give the bare minimum information necessary to the story.

i could ramble for pages about what the characters are doing, but it's not really important to know that reiner and reader are doing detail testing on the client's expense accounts to confirm completeness, accuracy, etc. ete. 💀 so i strip away the technical details and just say that they're looking at invoices -- because really, that's all you need to know to understand that they're working.

i actually worry that im not giving enough information, sometimes. like when i talk about queries and review notes, i worry that people don't understand what that means, but i hope with context they can get a general idea.

idk i'm still pretty new to writing too! it helps to read other peoples work and see how they do things to help improve your own writing!! not just fanfiction, but published books too.

i like to read YA/NA novels to help improve my writing. i know that genre gets a lot of flack for being too "simple" or "easy reads" or whatever, but i don't think that's a bad thing??? i'm not trying to write the next game of thrones, i'm just looking to write a little love story about some of my favourite anime boys, so i like keeping it simple.

HOWEVER, some people like writing with more descriptors or using more complex language, and there's nothing wrong with that either! at the end of the day, i think that you should write for yourself the way that you like stories to be written.

if you like scenes to be described to the minute detail, do it! if you want to get into the nitty gritty about accounting, write it!!

writing is my fun little hobby so i try not to stress about perfection too much. i know that's easier said than done, but you're your own worst critic so i guarantee even if you think something is too burdensome to read, someone else out there is eating up every single word!!

Imagine - Rethinking having kids with them

Characters: Eren, Reiner, Porco, Levi

Warnings: Slight breeding kink - This is mostly just very SFW and fluffy, though ♡

Anonymous asked:

hello! i just recently discovered your blog thru your breeding kink imagine/hc. i loved it so much that i want to send my own request if you don't mind. 👉👈 it's for eren, reiner, porco, zeke and levi. him and their significant other unanimously agreed on not having kids, and then one day she saw a video of a cute baby playing with their dads, and so she suddenly imagined them playing and bonding with her child. but ultimately, she's still adamant on not having kids because, (1/2)

(2/?) as her reason is, she's not sure whether she can fulfill the role, especially with the way and where she grew up wasn't actually child friendly. but since she loves them so much and she fully trusts that they'll be good fathers, she wants to try and conceive, but if it's not meant to be, then that's fine with her as well. also, when she opens up to them, she gets emotional because obviously this is a big deal for her and so it's lowkey taking everything in her to be vulnerable about the

about the topic (3/3) i was literally 3 character short lmao im sorry for the lengthy ask D: and thank you btw!

Notes: Of course I don't mind! And I love this idea, because it's like... really relatable lol Also! I'm so sorry, but I don't write for Zeke, I just don't really know his character that well and feel like I can't do him justice, so I'm only going to do Eren, Reiner, Porco and Levi here, I hope that's okay! With that in mind, @blondeboyfriend has some really great stuff on Zeke, so maybe check them out!! They're the zeke master so I think you'll love their stuff <3 Headcanons are down below, enjoy!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⋆✦⋆ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Eren:

So with Eren, I imagine that you two had already had a conversation previously and had both agreed on not having kids

You had said something along the lines of "I simply don't want to be a mother" and Eren had chimed in casually with, "Well, I wasn't planning on sharing you with anyone, anyways, so..."

Which resulted in you two agreeing that kids weren't going to be a part of your future together

Although, a part of him had always thought that it would be kind of neat to be a dad; he thought that it might be something he was good at. His mind always seemed to conjure up thoughts about how cute your babies would be together and it made him a little sad inside (okay, not sad, but he would definitely let out a little sigh) to think that he'd never see a little baby with your eyes and his hair color. But, it was never really that huge of an issue for him, so he would just quickly turn his mind away from those thoughts

Unknowingly to him, you had said you didn't want to be a mom, not so much because it was a preference, but because you thought you might be bad at it

But when you saw a tiktok where a young dad (with hair very similar to Eren's) was playing with his baby in his lap, smiling at the infant's infectious laughter, your mind couldn't help but wander to thoughts of that being Eren and your baby

You didn't know what to think about the smile that had crept its way onto your face at how cute that visual was and you tried to forget about it, you really tried, but it was all you had thought about for the next week or so...

Eren holding your baby and swaying them back and forth; Eren placing gentle kisses to their forehead and smiling softly while gazing down at his little creation; Eren making little "ow" noises as they yank and pull on his long hair; Eren sleeping shirtless in a pit of pillows (that he built) with your baby sleeping just as gently on his chest, Eren's arms holding them securely as they take a little nap together; Eren playing around with them and making them laugh with that same infectious laughter you had heard in the video that had started this all... the daydreaming seemed to never end

You were beginning to feel really confused, because... you and Eren had decided on not having kids, and yet, here you were, daydreaming about how sweet of a dad he would be, and how you might not be such a terrible mother, either...

When you finally sit down and talk with Eren about the thoughts you've been having and how your thoughts on parenthood might not be as concrete as you originally had thought, he grabs your hand and offers you a gentle smile

"Baby, it's okay to be scared... Don't you think I'm scared, too? I mean, fuck, who knows if I'd be any good at being a dad, either. But if there's one thing I know for certain, it's that if you love that baby even half as much as you love me, they're gonna be the luckiest and happiest kid in the world. Okay, wait... I lied. There's one other thing I know, too... they're also gonna be the cutest fucking baby in the world," he'd add, hoping to get a little smile out of you and feeling particularly victorious when he sees the corners of your mouth lift up. "I mean look at you, sheesh..." He'd lean in to place a soft kiss to your cheek, smiling into the kiss at the thought of a cute little version of you wrapped up in his arms

"Do you- do you really think that we could do this, though...?" you'd add, feeling vulnerable, and yet comforted in how safe he made you feel. You wondered if your future kid would feel this safe in his presence, too, and if they did, well... You knew that they'd grow up to be just okay

"With your kind and caring nature and my strong, protective nature-" he'd flex his muscles, trying to get a laugh out of you, "well, I think we'd be the perfect team." He'd give you one of his familiar charming smiles, while moving closer to you and pulling you onto his lap. "Plus, I think I'd like to see a little version of you running around..." He'd smile to himself, whispering a small, "it'd be pretty cute..."

"What happened to not wanting to share me?" you'd laugh softly, watching him roll his eyes gently

"I can share... just this once."

Reiner:

For Reiner, I imagine that he would be the one having more serious doubts about being a parent

On one hand, I think that he'd want to be a father, but on the other I think that he would be afraid in his ability to parent well

He often found that he couldn't trust himself, so how could he trust himself with a child? Well at least, that was his thinking

And with you being skeptical about becoming a parent yourself, you both had agreed to not having kids

Well, that was until one day when you two stumbled upon a little boy who was lost

He had to have been only around six years old and was crying over not being able to find his mom

But Reiner jumped right into action and made it his own mission to help the little guy (he even bent down to his level and used a softer voice as he told him that you two were going to stay with him until you all found "his mommy" God, so cute)

Watching Reiner take charge, and you right there by his side, comforting the little boy, told you both that you might not be so bad at this parenting thing

Reiner had held the boy in his arms and you had rubbed his little back, assuring him that he would soon be reunited with his mom

After you returned him safely to the scared, apologetic lady and started heading back home, you both just kind of looked at each other and smiled

Reiner took your hand in his and placed a gentle kiss to the back of it as you two started walking again, " Well that... felt nice"

You looked up at him, "You were really good with him... you knew exactly how to comfort him"

That earned a little blush from his cheeks - you praised his childcare abilities that he had assumed were nonexistent and it filled him with only warmth and hope for a possible future as a father

"Maybe... maybe, having kids wouldn't be so bad..." he'd whisper, feeling vulnerable for opening that conversation back up again

"Yeah... maybe..." you'd agree, the both of you walking together down the path as thoughts of a future with little ones filled your minds

Porco:

I've always seen Porco as a family man, so I imagine that he'd actually be pretty disappointed when you tell him that you didn't want to have kids

But he loves you so much and can't imagine a life without you in it, that he's willing to compromise by having furry kids (yes, you two have two large labradors thanks to him)

However, he's still a little sad over the idea of never being able to hear the small pitter patter of feet running around his house or the fun of wrestling around with little versions of himself

He also thinks about you carrying his children, all round and plump with his baby in your belly (as well as the idea of being the cause for you in that state *wink wink* hello, Porco literally has the biggest breeding kink, he's secretly obsessed with the idea of fucking his kids into you)

But he loves you more than anything, and like I said, is happy to compromise for the little family you two already have

And you thought you were happy with your little family, as well... well, that was until you went over to Porco's nonna's house and witnessed him playing around with his younger cousins

Picture this... Porco wrestling around with two young boys and throwing them in the air so they land on the couch; little kids holding onto Porco's bicep as he lifts them in the air; Porco gently holding his little 7-month-old cousin in his arms; Porco using a stern voice to scold some of the youngins who were throwing your purse around; Porco coming up behind you to wrap his strong arms around your waist as he watches over his big, crazy family, him laughing softly against your neck as he places a small peck to your skin and watches the wild scene before him

You had always thought that you would be happy living a life with just Porco and your pets, but seeing him like this, seeing how much love and warmth was in the room, you started to rethink your thoughts on having children

You knew that Porco would be an amazing father, like... truly amazing, but you were still a little skeptical about your own ability to parent

But with him by your side, you felt that this was something you could do...

You brought up the topic to him later on that night after you two had left his nonna's house and as much as he tried to hide how excited he was, you could see the little sparkle in his eye and just how much his face lit up at the mention of you two trying to conceive

"But if it doesn't happen, then maybe it isn't meant to be," you add, to which he nods his head rather eagerly, just happy that you both we're going to try

"Of course," he'd kiss you, once on your lips and then another on your cheek, and then another on your other cheek, and then of course he had to add one to the tip of your nose, and before you knew it, he was covering your face in tiny, little grateful kisses

"You're gonna be the best mom, I just know it," he'd add with a smile, starting to trail his kisses from your jawline down to your neck; making them slower, more passionate now

"Porco, this is only if I get pregnant," you'd remind him, laughing as he gently pushes you down against the bed

He'd place one last kiss to your neck, lifting his head ever so slightly as he whispers in your ear, "Baby, make no mistake... I am getting you pregnant tonight"

Levi:

For Levi, I imagine something similar to Reiner where he feels insecure and skeptical about his ability to parent well

Although, he wouldn't be as open about it or quick to share how he's feeling when it comes to experiencing worries over the possibility of being an inadequate parent

Truth be told, he had a tough upbringing and doesn't exactly know what parenting entails, which is why he feels that because of that, along with his often times cold demeanor, he would be a terrible father

When you had come to him and told him you didn't want to have kids, he was secretly really grateful that you were on the same page as him, even if his outward appearance didn't show it

He had simply said, "If that's what you want, then I'm fine with that"

He really gave no inkling toward his own internal thoughts on the matter, but you knew better...

You always knew better when it came to him, even if he tried to keep parts of himself hidden, as was his normal way of doing things

You were always able to get in that little mind of his, though, and could instantly tell when he was either hiding something or feeling down about something specific

All you had done during this conversation, was go up behind him and place your arms around his waist, hugging him closely to your chest and letting out a soft sigh as you whispered, "Not that it matters, but you'd be a good dad"

And it was your little voice in his head uttering those little words that had stayed with him

He seemed to always think about it; at night while trying to sleep, at work when he ought to be focusing; when he was inside of you, seconds away from spilling his cum into you and making you both parents regardless of your previous agreement

"You'd be a good dad."

He wondered if you had meant it or if you were just simply saying it to say it

But nevertheless, it stayed with him

Especially when he witnessed you around other kids, playing with them gently and being so naturally kind and compassionate to their little selves, your words stayed with him; they always seemed to echo in his mind

And he found himself repeating those very words, only to you now as you took his hand in yours, "Not that it matters, but you'd be a good mom."

And your head would whip around softly, feeling shy about his sudden praise and whispering under your breath, "yeah... well, I suppose that doesn't matter now, though"

The turning point for you had been when you witnessed Levi with Erwin's baby (yes, he has a baby here lol i'm the mom ok sorry)

He had been nervous to hold the little guy, feeling afraid that he would do it wrong and would somehow end up hurting them

But after a second or two, he adjusted his arms and was shown to be a complete natural at it

After a while, he was making bottles, and burping the baby (with a little towel over his shoulder, so cute ahhh), and rocking the little guy back and forth, and he even helped with changing diapers, which he somehow was already really good at

But what really convinced you to change your thoughts on parenthood, was the look Levi had as he swayed the baby gently in his arms, watching him sleep wrapped up in the safety of his strong arms... just watching the little guy with this soft, yearning look on his face

And it killed you to see that look...

It was all the proof he needed that he wouldn't be a terrible father and you were right there to tell him that

He had seen you with other kids, and you had listened to his praises surrounding your childcare abilities, and now it was his turn to receive the same treatment, since here he was, a complete natural at caring for an infant with nothing to worry about when it came to being a father

He was soft and kind and nurturing; all of the things that he told himself that he wasn't

And yet, something in him changed as he listened to you tell him that he was, in fact, all of those things

You had told him how sweet it was to watch him with Erwin's son and how easy he had made it look, and in that moment, it had been his turn to blush, even if it was only the tops of his ears that grew slightly pink

"I know you'd be a good dad," you'd whisper, taking his hand in yours

"And I know you'd be a good mom," he'd squeeze your hand lightly, looking down at your hands while the corner of his mouth lifted up ever so slightly

After that night, you two had agreed that you'd give it a shot and would try to conceive, and coincidentally that night, Levi had the sweetest dreams of holding another baby in his arms... only this time they had his dark hair and your beautiful eyes

𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍 𝐉𝐀𝐄𝐆𝐄𝐑

- default black and white boring ass theme.

- if the instructor requires “creativity” he will settle for using one of the basic standard themes, likely the dark blue one.

- literally the bare minimum amount of research and effort to get a decent grade.

- definitely makes it the night before and doesn’t practice presenting ever.

- eren always tries his best whenever he has a partner or a group because he doesn’t want to let them down, so that’s typically his best work.

- honestly a pretty basic presentation, not amazing but not bad. just does what he has to.

𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓

- downloads those pretty themes from the internet and spends hours trying to find one that fits the subject of the presentation just right.

- best color schemes ever, keeps the fonts interesting but still classy. it’s gotta look good!

- mf uses animations on every. single. slide.

- all the info is so good, he’s great at explaining his points. y’know he makes his presentation on boring shit enertaining enough.

- teachers always say he’s the example of a perfect presentation.

- has a fuckin laser pointer he uses as he clicks thru the slides. doesn’t even have any notecards bc he has everything MEMORIZED.

- if he’s in a group he always forces them to just let him do all the work, so people get so mf pumped to have him in their group.

- literally tried his hardest to make it look as TERRIBLE as possible.

- he def will not know how to spell a word, look it up, and then copy and paste it in the middle of the paragraph. however, he’ll forget to set the font and size settings to match the rest of the words so it’s just blatantly obvious.

- worst font choice ever. literally he’s even squinting to read what’s on the board while he’s presenting bc it’s that bad,

- one time did a presentation with jean, and jean made the mistake of teaching him how to add music to the slides. they were in the middle of a presentation about genetics and ‘kiss me thru the phone’ was blasted through the speakers. jean was frantic trying to turn it off while connie sang along.

- adds pictures of things that are not even related to the subject. he really likes to put a png of a frog for some reason. he said it’s his signature.

𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑

- only person who does equally as well as armin. however boy is nervous af when he’s presenting. he gets a lil sweaty because he really wants a good grade.

- his slides are well put together, and they’re so neat!! he has a color scheme, but it’s not super intricate, yet still catches your eye. he puts a lot of effort in it.

- thrives in group presentations because he’s not up there alone speaking to everyone, usually does a lot better.

- sometimes when he presents he’ll just fixate on reiner and act like he’s just talking to him rather than the class. reiner is silently cheering him on as he goes.

- armin acc gets lowkey jelly bc bertholdt’s presentations are really good.

𝐉𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐈𝐍

- actually puts decent effort in, rehearses too!! he usually tries to force connie and sasha to let him practice presenting to them, but they’re not any help whatsoever. he might even ask armin for assistance if it was a super important one.

- tries at his color scheme!! he really likes to have some color, but he’s not gonna spend hours being meticulous about it.

- since he’s well-rehearsed he is pretty good at the actual presenting, but he just really wants it done and over with.

- likes to add videos because he thinks they’re helpful and would add to his presentation.

- if connie and sasha are in his class he has to everything he can not to even look in their direction because they’re trying not to laugh. he has to try so hard not to tell them to stfu.

Shingeki no Kyojin Headcanons: 104th training corps (College AU - Outfits pt II)

Part I | College AU HCs

Part II of the outfits/aesthetics headcanons - College AU that would (kinda) be included in the oneshot I'm working on.

IMPORTANT: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin nor the trend of this outfits-displays, only this HCs belong to me. // Contains spoilers (for the icons that I used in some characters) // English is not my first language, so I ask for your patience and understanding.

Historia Reiss

She has a huge wardrobe and so well organized by color, textures, and sizes. From halter tops to maxi dresses, our queen really dresses like one.

Forever in love with skirts and dresses with patterns and/or pastel colors. But don’t get confused, girl has range.

So, one could see her wearing monochromatic ensembles one day and the other, she’s all dressed up with some bright color pieces matching a patterned shirt.

Also owns a vast collection of jewelry and accessories both original and classy. And let’s not forget the shoes: sneakers, heels, boots, sandals and cute little anklets to match. I swear she can make crocs look boujee.

Contrary to what people think, she doesn’t support fast fashion industry. Aware of her privilege, she knows she has the money and time to buy from small businesses and keep herself trendy.

Last but not least, and kind of clothing related: Historia loves taking Ymir to thrift shopping dates and later go eating at some indie cafeteria. The lifestyle is also part of the outfit, alright?

Ymir

Her wardrobe consists in comfortable clothes and not giving a fuck. All her clothes give Rockstar lesbian vibes (stan this queen). Her designated color palette is based on dark shades, so it’s a real contrast between her outfits and Historia’s.

Loves combat boots and her wasted Converse TM, although her favorite pieces from her apparel are bomber jackets, coats, sweaters, and hoodies.

Ymir also wears a fair amount of stainless-steel accessories, mostly chunky rings and chains. Moreover, is common to find her listening to music, therefore, earphones are a fashion statement really.

Speaking about must-wear, this girl likes to paint her nails black but due her anxiety she tends to scratch the painting off so it gives this grunge look (don’t romanticize this fellas).

Historia would suggest her some trends or give her advice about color, but being honest, Ymir has a very well-defined style at this point.

Now, about her dress style: She won’t dress like a metalhead nor grunge (at least not intentionally). And she wouldn’t define her style as dark, it’s just what it is.

Reiner Braun

He wears lots of denim in jackets and jeans but also owns a couple of dress pants that combines with beanies or simple caps. Also, has plenty of plain simple shirts that fit his strong body.

Reiner usually wears opaque shades of all colors. Another fact, he’s not a big fan of patterns unless we’re talking about sweaters. He also wears jackets yet avoids cardigans and hoodies.

A very important thing to know, Reiner has a lot of gym clothes, he works out daily so don’t be surprised.

Most of those clothes are joggers, pants, shorts, and t-shirts that look as if he ripped them off or something.

Actually, a lot of his clothes look like they’re about to be ripped apart due his huge ass pectorals (please, Reiner, let me rest gently on your pecs). Just kidding, his whole wardrobe fits him perfectly.

Finally, if Reiner had to define his style in a sentence, he’d probably acknowledge that he gives the impression of a rich a-hole, but really, Rei just likes to be comfortable and presentable at all times. So, rich white guy it is for now.

Bertolt Hoover

Bertie is that one friend that always carries a cardigan or sweater just in case, also because he tends to lend his clothes if a friend of his is in need. So thoughtful, our big baby.

His wardrobe is amazingly well organized, and its color palette is unmatched. Lots of blue, brown, beige, white and black.

We know he’s tall enough to call everybody’s attention every time he enters a room. And being as shy as he can be, he avoids brilliant colors or striking pieces. Instead, he chooses simpler outfits.

Bertolt follows this formula every time: pants, shirt, sweater. Everything clean and discrete.

Now if we must talk about his shoes, Berts prefers some white sneakers or modest dress shoes. He wouldn’t say he owns a vast collection, rather, he keeps a fair amount for different occasions.

No tattoos nor piercings. Speaking of which, it’s so rare to see him wearing any accessories at all. Maybe he'll carry with him an analogical clock, and that's it. Although if someone gave him a friendship bracelet you can be sure he'll wear it all-the-time.

Annie Leonhart

Lots of denim for her jackets and jeans. Hoodies, bands merch and graphic t-shirts.

Her clothes’ color palette has range but nothing too pastel or colorful. Instead, she gets all the opaque version of the pieces she likes.

Not that Annie hates dresses or skirts, it’s just unusual for her to even think about wearing them. She prioritizes being comfortable, and tight/short clothes can’t provide her that feeling.

Hates slim clothes unless it’s a tank top or something similar. She just prefers oversized hoodies and mom jeans. Also, if Annie can avoid skinny pants, you can be sure she will.

Owns a fair amount of gym clothes because she also likes to train but most of the times, you’ll see her running around campus, really. She’s a simple woman with simple pleasures.

Annie is the personification of ‘looks like she could kill you, is an actual cinnamon roll’, from her attitude to her clothes. So beware, for she’s the queen of looking rude with her chains around her belt, and her ring to match but don't let her fool- holy shit, that thing can actually stab someone. As I was mentioning, such a sweet gal, isn’t she?

Hitch Dreyse

She can make it boujee with so little effort (and money), lemme tell you. Wears her clothes with such an attitude and class. Hitch's an actual wine-mom, or aunt maybe? she gives those vibes.

People have the impression from her style, that her parents are rich, but nothing could be further from the truth. It’s just that Hitch knows how to dress. (Also, we know that for a fact sis has a scholarship, okay?) ANYWAYS,

Miss here is forever in love with white and baby blue. Owns plenty of jeans but also dress pants and culottes that wears with blazers or shirts that make her look like a princess with a diversity of fabrics such as satin, silk-alike texture, and cotton.

Hitch is the queen of heels. Although she hates very high ones, she rocks shorter heels and walks in them with little to no effort. Or at least looks like it. All of her shoes are classy yet unique.

Now, let’s talk about her collection of accessories. Hitch likes her jewels in gold and only buys signature pieces: rings, earrings (for her four lobe perforations, two in each ear) and necklaces, of course. Yes, it is gold but in modest designs. Sounds fair, right?

Marlowe Freudenberg

Our big boy in here thinks that he should look presentable at all times since he’s the Chief Editor of the History student’s academic journal at Paradis’ Uni. Not that he cares a lot of his appearance, really.

And that’s actually cute because he puts effort into his outfits. Marlowe would be one of those straight guys that are hygienic and know how to dress and has no fragile masculinity.

Cologne is a must and part of his attire just like handkerchiefs are, because at the same time, he was raised to be the classic gentleman TM.

Marlowe dresses in all colors; he can’t choose a favorite one or a never-changing palette. He’s aware of season colors too and plays that at his wardrobe favor.

Yet for his outfits he’d follow few simple rules: oxfords (cleaned), dress pants (somewhere between slim fit and straight leg), some polo/dress shirt/cotton thing-y for top and a sweater / cardigan / blazer if season demands it.

Finally, our favorite student-editor spends some time of his routine shaving his face and styling his hair, albeit wouldn’t consider himself a vain guy nor full of himself. Lowkey expects Hitch to notice his appearance. Such a sweetheart.

AOT characters in school hcs </3

writing these while i sit in a zoom completely dead to the world

no warnings

modern / school au

eren

dead to the world. zones out and falls asleep all the time. how the hell does he even sleep? it’s so loud in this class what is wrong with you eren. he also yells at teachers and has the most detentions

mikasa

takes two sets of notes for herself and eren bc he won’t do it himself. he doesn’t even study them nor does he actually throw them away so he just has a pile of old notes written by mikasa that he does nothing with

armin

the only one that’s actually actively engaged in class. raising his hand, asking questions, etc. total teacher’s pet. always has honor roll and if a teacher raised their voice at him he’d probably cry

jean

just the really cryptic kid who doesn’t seem to do anything at all but is somehow passing. avoids eye contact with the teacher when they’re looking for hands but is somehow always the one that gets called on

connie

not paying attention, ever. is sending sasha memes the entire time. has had his phone taken away so so many times but it doesn’t stop him

sasha

same as connie, sends him memes during class but she also has snacks stashed in her pockets

historia

always has a water bottle. favorite subject is international relations. hydrates while taking notes <3

ymir

literally pays 0 attention she just has earbuds in during the entire class and hides them under her hair while she jams to mother mother or something. favorite subject is linguistics

hange

the cool science teacher that has set their desk on fire several times and insists on doing experiments almost every class. during a quiet work period they’d probably be so bored they fall asleep and one of their students has to wake them up. literally everything is a challenge to them. they’ll hear that erwin’s students are enjoying his class or something and they’re like oh yeah?? parry this you casual [blows something up for a demonstration]

levi

smth tells me he would be a french teacher. always has his students do things for him e.g. move desks, organize things, etc and usually has to have one of them reach things for him like books on top of shelves

erwin

yall already know this man is a history teacher. he’s usually deadpan and smells like coffee all the time but lowkey really enjoys his job and is enthusiastic about teaching history

mike

the gym teacher that always feels the need to show off for some reason. when he joins one of the dodgeball teams he loses all self control and goes completely ham

reiner

has never done an honest test in his life. always has some kind of cheeky little way to cheat his way through even though if he really wanted to he is probably smart enough to do things on his own. him and annie cheat off of each other and talk major shit about other students

bertholdt

he’s canonically good at everything he learns so I think he’d also be on the honor roll. definitely the responsible one. organizes all his notes and schedules and deadlines and turns things in on time (usually). his favorite subject is geometry because he likes shapes. “did anyone do their part of the project? guys?”

annie

also probably dead to the world. zoned out the entire time but somehow she’s always passing. very respectful so you wouldn’t guess that she’s had a lot of detentions for fighting

porco

he actually is pretty smart and could definitely do things if he wanted to. favorite subjects are english language arts and social studies but in any other classes he’s just.... not going to pay attention if he doesn’t like the topic. his motivation is nonexistent. but if you tell him to write an argumentative essay it’ll probably be 10 fucking pages long because boy oh boy does he have opinions. used to get in trouble a LOT for being disrespectful

pieck

she’s really good at math and does pretty well in most classes but her english teacher has had to talk to her several times about how “poggers” and “swag” are not academic language to use in essays. and that it is infact very rude to call fellow students daft shits

zeke

the other history teacher that has a feud with erwin. hangs out in the teacher’s lounge a lot and probably steals erwin’s lunch and blames it on those pesky students. he would never say it to any of his students’ faces but he judges them so hard like he’s genuinely disgusted when his students dont wash their hair or some shit

yelena

really quiet and really cryptic. probably prefers to sit on the floor instead of her chair

niccolo

just a friendly little nerd that everyone seems to love for some reason. if he gets picked on by someone literally all the jocks, preps, geeks, etc come to his defense

Zeke’s Work & Life in Modern!au

The childhood, back story, job/career and workplace antics of AOT characters in modern life. A series of modern!au Attack on Titan headcanon.

Disclaimer: inaccuracies in the description of mentioned jobs may occur, as my knowledge of the industries is limited.

The Vets (Part I) .::. Zeke Yeager (Part II) .::. My Masterlist

Reiner & Berthold (Part III)  [COMING SOON]

Warriors and 104th Cadets [COMING SOON] 

zeke!

Ok ok here’s the deal. He was born rich ok? I’m not just talking about dad’s-a-doctor kind of rich, but old money type of rich 

He had everything but a warm family. Mum died early, Dad remarried and had another kid which he loved more. Zeke went on to live with his grandparents upstate

Never really had parents figure in his life, the grandparents were just spoiling him left and right without actually “raising” him

Went to posh boarding school with other posh little kids who go to Polynesia for summer holiday with their private jets. He never really got along well with these kids, though

At certain age, he got bored of living life in the easy mode and started acting up for attention

Started smoking weed at the dorm, got suspended - parents donated money

Burnt down common room from a stupid prank he did, on the verge of getting expelled - parents donated more money. His expulsion got overruled, but he eventually got sick of being saved by his parents’ money

Ended up running away for a month to live with some biker dudes off the interstate highway, where he learned to sell weed (lol)

Parents didn’t report to police because they “didn’t want to create a commotion out of adolescent’s common ruckus”; instead they hired private detective to find where Zeke was (lol #2)

Zeke finally came to term with his parents, dropped out of the posh boarding school and re-enrolled at a public school on his own request, where he pretended to have a “boring accountant” dad; His friends not knowing that his Dad not only a physician but also inherited a whole ass accounting firm 

With his newly-learned “entrepreneur” skill, he quickly rose to fame as the school dealer

Got arrested by the police, once again bailed out by his parents. Where his friends finally learned who Zeke’s parents was 

ok this is getting tiring

He unfortunately succumbed to depression during his late-teenage years. Dropped out of the public school and got home-schooled for his SAT year

Zeke was born a genius, so he didn’t really have any problem scoring great on his SAT. He took a gap year where he traveled abroad aka rich kid culture

Nobody really knew where was he during his trip abroad (not like anybody cared to begin with, sadly), but he came home with newly acquired skills and passion. He came to be very handy with computers, where he (sort of) mastered the programming language just in a year

Got back home for uni at a prestigious school, where he majored in Computer Science. He kept it lowkey throughout his time there, where he ironically grew to hate the privileged kids who seemed to dominate most of the peers he was in. He thought he was better and smarter than the rest of them (he was), and that he liked to obsessively convince himself that he wasn’t just “one of those rich kids who got in because daddy was rich” 

Zeke was the type to skip classes here and there to smoke weed at his apartment, and yet managed to get the highest score still

He was popular because he was an awfully good-looking genius, but he didn’t really care. I doubt he even had any serious girlfriend during these years because he was just so sick of people. He got one friend he hung around with, though. A junior to be exact, whom he sort of ‘adopted’ for looking sad all the time (aka Reiner | read more on Pt. II - coming soon!)

This was the time where he started to develop the prototype of a payment gateway software with Reiner. The software made it big and got acquired by a huge financial service firm

The achievement really bounced Zeke back, he became outgoing and had a lot of vision for his business. Until he found out that the purchase decision of his software was influenced and lobbied by his Dad, who had a close relation with the firm who bought his software

Enraged upon learning this fact, he relinquished all of the share he had from selling the software, and went to build his own tech start-up company, with Reiner acting as CEO and him as CTO

Make no mistake, Zeke’s an asshole at work. He knows how good he was, and it gave him a free-pass to do whatever he wanted to, often at the expense of the company

He was one of those jerks who pretended to be some broke ass hippie who smelled like weed all the time, but donned Richard Mille watch around

His infamous line at work whenever someone pitches an idea which does not suit his liking was: “Yeah, that sounds stupid.” or “Yeah whatever, I own the company.”

He re-invested the company’s funding to a whole lot of shady ventures, until he was rebuked by the investors and was forced to step down from any managerial role. He was given two choices, to step down or be sued for embezzlement (the legal proceeding was supposed to be led by the notorious white-collar crime attorney, Erwin Smith - read here). This put a lot of strain to Reiner, who was still an active CEO at that time

The truth about Zeke’s embezzlement was discovered by a talented Forensic Accountant, Levi Ackerman (read here)

The company went public, and Zeke was pushed out of the picture entirely. He still kept a considerable amount of the company’s share, so he was still filthy rich without doing nothing

He tried to establish couple of other companies, which did not even make it to early stage of funding, due to potential investors’ distrust

His friendship with Reiner, the only friend he ever had, never did recover after he was kicked out of his own company

A/N: Ok. So at first, I was planning to only make four parts for all AoT main characters, but I had so much fun writing this that it got very detailed and complicated! I am planning to make an expansive universe out of this HC series and I hope you’re on board with me! Enjoy!

[aphrodite-would-be-proud]

I'd love nothing more than to see teen Gabi and Falco be as cute/cringy (as a compliment) as humanly possible in their middle school relationship

Like I'm talking things like

Changing their pfp to black whenever they're mad at each other

Using "baka, XD, owo, uwu" unironicly

Captioning the pic they posted on Instagram of them playing in the kids area in a pizza place that Reiner took them to as "me and my boo"

Breaking up every time Falco misses a text from Gabi bc he was playing fortnite or when Gabi partners up with Udo for the chemistry class project

Only to be back together the next day, their stories filled with relationship quotes like "if you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best"

Falco in a blue suit 2 sizes bigger than him, gripping the single rose he saved up to buy from the flower shop in an iron grip while sweating buckets as he rings Gabi's door to ask her mom if Gabi is there because they agreed to go together to prom

Both of them acting so awkward the whole car ride there, barely looking at each other as they try to muster up the courage to hold the other's hand while Reiner glances at them while driving.

Attempt to fuse after watching a single (1) episode of steven universe that Udo and Zofia happened to binge

Their flirting consists of one of them barging in the other's class before it starts, dropping a half eaten candy bar on their desk before running away.

They attempted to make their avatars hold hands in animal crossings

Falco is really into my little pony, not related but i just needed to put it out there. Gabi only watches it with him for rainbowdash

Gabi almost starting a fight when Zofia told her that her sign wasn't compatible with Falco

Udo and Zofia being subjected to watching them be embarrassing, lowkey thankful that their own parents didn't allow them to date till they're 17.

Udo and Zofia have secret dates with each other in roblox

[oncejaw-a]

(panel excessive over-analysis n°2: memory and absence // Marcel, Porco, Reiner, Zeke) - writing characters that have been dead before the start of the canon action often means that you don’t have much to work with in terms of characterisation, and that you often find yourself trying to retro-engineer who they may have been by looking at the way other characters talk about or remember them. I’m keeping that for a different post - this one is about the other fun part of looking way too much at a dead character: the presence they retain through their absence. And boy oh boy, is little Marcel everywhere wherever the Warriors, old generation and new, are concerned, especially, of course, for Porco and Reiner. 

tldr 1: Marcel doesn’t purposely witholds his memories from Porco, but it is the result of a lingering, posthumous instinct that got carried on through Ymir and Porco. tldr 2: Reiner is a true champ and Marcel would like to send him a thank you card. tldr 3: I’m pretty sure Zeke knew about Marcel’s plans.

Porco inheriting the Jaw titan should have brought him closure. It should have reunited him with his brother, given him access to his memories, answered some of the questions he may have had regarding his brother’s death. This should, in theory, have been possible, because a titan shifter inherits their predecessor’s memories, and this holds true especially if two titan inheritors are related by blood, as explained by Gabi and Reiner.

I’m sure the Galliard situation is unique in that Marcel did not pass the Jaw titan on to Porco directly: there was another inheritor between them, so the Marleyan research probably was not as reliable or guaranteed in their situation. Still, it would have been reasonable for Porco to expect to see at least part of his brother’s memories. But, plot twist! He doesn’t. Whatever that realisation did to poor Porco once he inherited the Jaw, I shall leave to all the wonderful Porco muns out there, but still. Ouch. Is it a case of the science not holding up in this specific scenario, or is there something else holding back Marcel’s memories? Who knows. More on that in a sec.

That leaves Porco in the dark. He has an idea, a preconception of what happened to his brother, but he hasn’t been able to see for himself and fill in those final blanks. The only person who knows exactly what happened that day, naturally, is good ol’ Reiner... who looks rather frazzled for a hot second here, at the thought that maybe Porco saw his brother’s memories.

This is where I venture a bit more into headcanon territory, but since we have no definitive answer to that question, this is just my personal interpretation! But, I don’t think Porco cannot access Marcel’s memories because of Ymir, and I don’t think Marcel is voluntarily witholding them from the Paths. I think what may be happening is that Marcel’s wish/instinct to protect his brother survived, in some unconscious form, through the Jaw titan, and through Ymir and Porco alike. Including protecting him from one last truth, that he knew would be incredibly hurtful - much more, in his 13-yo mind, than leaving Porco hanging with a gazillion questions and a skewed perception of Reiner, and himself.

Speaking of Reiner, he stands on the opposite side of the spectrum. He knows what really happened the day Marcel died, he knows what Marcel did, and he knows Marcel never spoke a word of it until that day on Paradis. In the aforementioned panel, he seems surprised, and kind of expectant, when he thinks for a second that Porco saw Marcel’s memories. But when Porco says he hasn’t, and asks Reiner “were you trying to imitate Marcel?”, Reiner’s reaction is... absolutely priceless in my opinion.

I very lowkey want to think that Reiner, a little puzzled one second before, also comes to the conclusion (or has a long time ago already) that whatever is holding Marcel’s memories back, may be the result of Marcel’s lingering protective instincts towards his brother. It would be really easy for Reiner to snap back at Porco and tell him everything, and put the blame back on Marcel, but who better than Reiner Braun to understand where Marcel is coming from, and to have the heart to protect Marcel’s legacy? Porco maybe have inherited the Jaw titan, but Reiner really became the living holder of Marcel’s memory, half because he is the one who suffers the consequences of Marcel’s choices, half because he, through Gabi, finds himself in a very similar situation. Also probably because he is a top bloke as a general rule.

This went on a bit of a tangent, but it was a necessary one, since Reiner is now pretty much the sole protector of Marcel’s secret, and pretty much acknowledges that he too, is now walking in Marcel’s footsteps, by trying to get Falco to surpass Gabi so that she doesn’t inherit the Armored. Whether or not he would have had the idea to do that without Marcel’s example is up to y’all Reiner muns out there, you know him better than I do!

Of course, Porco and Reiner discussing Marcel and his death make him very present between them, but his ghost is all the more palpable when we are presented with the Gabi/Reiner and Falco/Colt duality. Colt finds himself in the exact same predicament as Marcel once did, outwardly expressing the same concerns Marcel once had. Marcel died at the age of 13, nine years prior to this discussion, nobody mentions him by name, but Reiner is here, Porco is here... and in comes Zeke, casually dropping what could have been the biggest bomb in the Galliard brothers’ lives:

Once we know about Marcel’s backstory and the significance of that scene, Marcel really becomes the only missing participant in this conversation, until Zeke lowkey brings him in without even mentioning his name. The conversation is not about him, but his presence still lingers by sheer virtue of thematic resonance. Porco’s reaction is just enough to confirm that he made this connection too. Though I’m pretty sure I can hear Marcel screaming “SHUT THE FUCK UP ZEKE” from the paths right here and there. 

TLdr: Marcel may be long gone, but man is his memory still vividly and painfully alive because of the one secret he took to his grave, and that Reiner (and possibly Zeke) faithfully keeps. 

[armourheld]

is it bad how i can associate about 90% of auroras songs to reiner in some way or form. 

[bnhayyy]

so the fic I’m writing today is a snk soulmate au taking place in the final arc. it’s lowkey berumika, with a whole lot of bertolt musing on how everyone’s soulmarks have influenced the outcome of events - and the one glaring eren-related way that they didn’t - before anything berumikaish actually happens. 

ymir, reiner, eren (only to point out that his didn’t actually change shit), and gabi are each getting their section of bertolt musing on their marks, all of which are in parenthesis. i have 1253 words right now and am not even halfway done with the fic. of those 1253, 848 are about reiner’s marks and the direct consequences of them.

i know that i shouldn’t be surprised, but.

good.

fucking.

RATE THE EPISODE 130 Responses

And we’re back! An explosive premiere brings the series back. The vast majority seemed to enjoy the episode, with only 2.3% of folks giving it a score below a 3.  

I thought some of the directing in the action scenes was odd and the music didn’t feel as well integrated/utilized as in past seasons.

If this season is consistently as good as this first episode, AOT will indeed end as a perfect masterpiece

ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT THE CHANGE FROM WIT STUDIO TO MAPPA? 127 Responses

The Studio change from WIT Studio to MAPPA was a subject of much scrutiny and debate before the season’s release. With almost 61% showing some form of enthusiasm about a new studio’s take on the series. The opinion is not uniform, of course, with just over 18% stating their preference for WIT studio. Slightly less (17.3%) can’t give an answer yet and the rest don’t seem to care at all.  

I wished MAPPA would make the latter episodes a little more vibrant and lessen the blur

mappa as some of my favorite shows (banana fish, yuri on ice, etc) so it was kinda cool to see they picked up AOT szn 4 ! i’m excitedly waiting to watch the next episode, (and with my ‘watch partner’ aka tumblr friend who discusses with me as we watch LOL).

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CGI TITANS? 127 Responses

If there’s one thing that’s rather controversial about the series’ animation adaptation, then it’s certainly the use of CGI (particularly when animating Titans). The opinion of the fanbase seems to be rather positive, nonetheless. 72.4% of responders gave the CGI some praise (be it more open or more reserved), while 18.2% were more negative about the use of CGI. At the bottom was 9.4% who stated that they preferred WIT’s style of CGI to the one utilized in the episode.  

cgi wasn't bad but I was disappointed that it wasn't the 2d animation from the trailer

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEW OPENING? 128 Responses

When it came to the season’s opening, there was a positive response, with more than 72% expressing a favorable opinion. 21.1% didn’t seem to care for it and about 6% stated that they thoroughly disliked it. 

OP is WAY too overrated, nowhere near as good as the original, too much glorification of the kind of nationalism that led to Nazi germany's rise to power

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEW ENDING? 130 Responses

The new ending received very similar scores, with a similar figure of more than 72% expressing a positive view of the ending and a little over a quarter not caring for it. The proportion disliking it was much lower however, with only 2.3% of folks expressing those thoughts.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE 4 YEAR TIME SKIP? 126 Responses

One of the grandest developments that came about in this episode is the fact that a 4 year time skip has occurred since the defeat of the Warriors in Shiganshina. Although there is a sizable minority expressing negative feelings (13.5%), the definitive majority is coming in with enthusiasm (70.6%). The rest are still thinking this change over. 

wtf is going on? Who are these new people? Why are we supposed to care about them if they're from Marley? Where are the main characters? Yeah, I suppose Reiner and Zeke technically count as MCs, but there is an appalling lack of 104th characters that needs to be fixed asap!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE SETTING CHANGE? 125 Responses

In a similar vein, a remarkable new development is a change of setting. The majority (almost 61%) see it in a positive light, while 16% seem to dislike it. Just over 19% aren’t certain yet. 

After what Reiner and co. did, I am not at all interested in their side of the story and just want Eren and co. to completely decimate these people

Fun to meet new characters but I'm eager to know whats going on with the characters we know

It feels a little disorienting but it's a logical progression of the story

Strange

Wouldnt mind the change of setting if we at least had it from the 104th's perspective

I wasn’t expecting it to be so focused on new characters, and I was disappointed at first but I’m indifferent now.

Not liking the new perspective. At least for this new batch of kids. If Reiner and Zeke are going to be a major focus for a while, wouldn't a short series of flashbacks for their pasta work better than a completely new spin-off from the main story?

WHICH NEW CHARACTER IS YOUR FAVORITE SO FAR? 125 Responses

As this episode introduced a lot of new characters, we got a colorful pie chart for this one. The plurality of responses (40%) chose the kind-hearted Falco, while 28% went with passionate Gabi. 14.4% chose the caring Colt and 13.6% went with the cool Jaw Titan holder. The last couple of responses picked out the stoic General Magath and the quiet Zofia. Poor Udo didn’t get a single vote!

I loved it. I love the new art style, my favorite scene was Gabi destroying the train, she's awesome. I really love Falco as well and Colt. Galliard's titan design is sick

I literally don't give a shit about these new kids, I don't care about their story, just bring back EMA and the 104th already!

WHO DO YOU THINK WILL INHERIT THE ARMORED TITAN? 125 Responses

Another colorful pie chart! An almost even split for the (possible) future inheritor of the Armored Titan. 37.6% believe Falco will take it, while 27.2% went with Gabi. 33.6% do not see any of the cadets inheriting Reiner’s titan and the last couple of votes went ahead to Zofia instead.

WHO HAD THE BETTER GLOW UP? 127 Responses

When drawing comparison to Reiner and Zeke’s looks in the previous season, there was a clear favorite among the responses - Reiner, with 74%. Zeke had the preference of 15% and those who didn’t feel like either of them “went through a glow up” took 11%. 

can we acknowledge how good zeke, reiner, and [redacted] looked 😌🥰

REINER PLEASE FUCK ME

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE JAW TITAN? 126 Responses

New season, new setting, new titan! The vast majority of viewers seem hyped about the Jaw Titan and find its design really cool. 15.9% aren’t as thrilled about it, and 9.5% haven’t decided yet. Most of the write-in comments implied a connection with the Jaw Titan. But for the purpose of avoiding spoiling those who haven’t drawn the same conclusion, we won’t be publishing them. Just know we see you. ;)

i was lowkey scared lmao

CART TITAN - BETTER WITH ARMOR OR WITHOUT? 127 Responses

We are reunited with the eerie Cart Titan from S3, but this time flexing cool armor and machine guns on its back! The overwhelming majority of respondents prefer it better tricked out in its armor, over a small minority who appreciate its natural creepiness more.

MOST OF THE EPISODE FOCUSES ON GABI. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HER? 124 Responses

Gabi appears to be a point of controversy among anime viewers already, with 38.7% viewing her favorably, 37.9% viewing her less favorably, and 16.9% not sure how to feel about her yet. Some comments feel she is similar to Eren in some ways, while others found her annoying. And yes, she did break international law. :P

Eren, but smol and female xD

I hate her already

I think she’s awesome

She's like Eren was

she passionately creepy but i like her lol

shes annoying

Gabi is SO annoying istfg really hope Falco gets more focus than Gabi, he seems nicer and more relatable

FALCO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT “FLYING AROUND WITH A SWORD” AND “ATTACKING TITANS.” WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? 126 Responses

Overall, no one seems to know what’s going on, though many are theorizing that this is related to the paths, titan powers/memory transfer, or Eren somehow. What could this mean for the future of Falco’s character?

Dig at anime viewers returning to S4

He saw the memories of a survey corps member

I have a couple theories, regarding the memories that intelligent Titans share back and forth

maybe he had one of those flashback/forward things that erens dad had

WHO DO YOU THINK WAS BUYING THE NEWSPAPER AT THE END? 126 Responses

Nearly 90% of respondents are certain that this mystery character is someone we know, while just a small handful of people believe it’s someone new, and about the same amount not ready to make a call one way or the other yet. Some write-ins on the poll had guessed specifically who the character may be already. But we won’t spoil you just yet. 👀

The end credits guy is definitely someone we know, but I highly doubt it's Eren

The sharp-looking dude at the end just HAS to be someone we know on Paradis, there's no way they'd just throw us in to this new cast of nobodies without some connection to the main characters

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF ELDIANS BEING USED AS WAR FODDER? 126 Responses

The treatment of Eldians on the mainland is something that the majority of respondents see as detestable, with 87.3% finding the use of them as war fodder to be downright cruel. A smaller amount of people either felt it was a necessary evil, or didn’t feel strongly about it one way or the other. 

Literally waiting for the 104th to show up and fuck shit up for these inhumane monsters

That's what happens in the real world. The persecuted minority gets used as war fodder.

i d k 👀

DO YOU THINK IT’S POSSIBLE FOR RELATIONS BETWEEN ELDIANS AND MARLEYANS TO IMPROVE? 123 Responses

Colorful opinions mean more colorful pie charts! Most viewers feel that there is no way for the relations between Eldians and Marleyans to improve (30.1%) or that relations will never improve, with the exception of a rare few who are sympathetic to Eldians (22.8%). A smaller amount (totalling 32.5%) feel that it’s possible for things to improve whether it be due to a change in Marleyan leadership or due to the two sides having to come together for the greater good. 14.6% of respondents stand in the middle ground, unsure of whether relations can improve or not.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?

Honestly at first it was very confusing but overall I enjoyed it

So when do we get to see the 104th again?

I figured there would be more modern technology involved in the story, but I'm not a fan at all of the direction it's going so far. Makes me worried the ultimate basement reveal was the peak of AoT's greatness.

it was action filled!!! although i was sad so see that there are 16 episodes n not like 24(i think), it means every episode is gonna deliver!!! off to a great start, op and ed are amazing. renier had a nice glow up and JEAN WAS THAT U AT THE END?? yessir!!! beast titan looked ugly asf but when was he not ugly?? LOL

Idk wtf that opening was but I kinda like the ending. Falco seems like a good kid. I just REALLY hope he doesn't end up doing anything to hurt the protagonists (I fully expect Gabi to, she's already a violent ax-crazy kid)

just give me some Armin

WHERE. IS. EREN?

WHERE DO YOU PRIMARILY DISCUSS THE SERIES? 124 Responses

Thanks again everyone for participating in the poll! We look forward to seeing your responses for next week’s episode!

[jean-kayak]

Aot episode 70 spoilers under the cut

Um firsts things firsts

If you were to look up ironic in the dictionary you would find AOT episode 70 right next to the definition

Because BITCH WHAT THE FUCK

like bro as soon as i saw the man, I was like mane he's somehow related to sasha

This episode made me cry like five times

And I lowkey thought Gabi started to look like Sasha 🤷🏽‍♀️ might be some hate for that

AND FLOCH 🤢🤢🤢 GOOD GOD THAT MAN IS UGLY and I don't even care that he was vouching for Eren, like mane just SHUT UP OMG

And then Mikasa having like that *whatever* idk what to call it but WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

IS IT GOING TO CHANGE HER AND EREN'S RELATIONSHIP?

WE NEED ANSWERS PEOPLE

and then reiner? Um excuse me sir, I think you must've hit your head too hard bc what is you talkin about

An attack now, excuse me, I really wanted to see this man change his mind, I want a redemption arc

And Gabi and Falco meeting the girl that Sasha saved, like wow, and how that girl said she wanted to be like sasha

And I saw on Twitter that if Sasha was alive or if she survived, she wouldn't be mad at Gabi and at first I was like hmm 🤔 okay 🤨

But know I kinda see it

And poor Hange 🥺 I just wanna give her a hug, my girl is stressed

And man, if they keep putting porco on the screen, there will be some smut following after lmaooooo

My Ranking of Attack On Titan Characters

So in honor of finally being up to date with Attack on Titan, I have decided to make a ranking list of AOT Characters. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Starting with...

Eren Jeager: 3.5/10

Neutral for the most part, but at times find myself screaming “oh my god Eren just stfu, stop being a crybaby broooooo”

Titan Eren lowkey hot

Wait but he’s a titan

Still hot dou

Why he look like dat in season four...?

Mikasa Ackerman: 8/10

Epic and badass

Why she so protective of Eren like she get so jelly with *literally* any other chick with him like girl I get it, titan Eren is really hot, but you don’t have to worry. Trust me.

Hair in 4th season sent me y’all. Sent me.

Levi in girl form, hell ye

Levi Ackerman: 13/10

Badass

Would highkey marry but he won’t wanna marry my weak-ass. 

That’s fair dou

The man never physically ages, what’s his secret?

It’s not about what you got it’s about how you wield it 

Cleans, so um, yes.

Jean Kirstein: 6/10

Horse meme is forever burned in my head, sorry not sorry

Idk he seems aight

Lowkey ship him and Armin

Armin Arlert: 7/10

Cute and adorkable

Dreamer boy vibes, love it

Ships him with Jean and Annie

Which one???? Conflict (!!!!!!)

Bowl cut ain’t it, glad it was fixed finally

Historia Reiss: 14/10

Personally the most relatable character in the show

Hardcore ships her with Ymir

Lowkey ships her with Mikasa also dou...

She looks so regal and powerful as queen, yes queen!

Sasha Braus: 8/10

So quirky and weirdly aggressive...I like it~

Lives for food, but same 

Ymir Fritz 7/10:

Literally marry Historia right now

I don’t think Historia would have been awakened to her highest potential without Ymir’s help. Ymir cherished her so much because of their similarities with their past, so basically the most bittersweet romance in the entire show.

Wtf is her titan form

Connie Springer: 6/10

Feel neutral about him

Think he’s a good character and person

Ships him with Sasha, I think they balance each other out really well~

Can get on Sasha’s level of weirdness, I love it

Reiner Braun: 1/10

Creepy like why you want Historia so bad ew

Titan form cool dou

Hange Zoe: 12/10

Mad scientist but like an epic one

Master of torture and questioning

Love her, hell ye

Annie Leonhart: 5/10

Wtf happened to her after season one?

Female titan is pretty epik

Also how old is she?? 

I don’t know her age, after season 3 I’m hella confused

Epik side profile, 

Lowkey ships her with Armin

Erwin Smith: A Solid 7/10 

Epic guy, low voice a plus

A shame he had to die like dat

Marco Bodt: sadface/10

Poor boy 

Was just there wrong place at the wrong time

Did not deserve that

Poor thing I cry for him

Keith Sadies: whatinthesnape/10

Major Snape vibes in season three tf

Mike Zacharias: Epickk/10

Killer side profile

Epic

Worst way to go, I’m so sorry

Eren’s Dad: 5/10

I was confused by him, but after season 3, I feel bad for the guy

Imagine police officers doing that to your younger sister and no one, not even your parents, believing you? Poor guy

So that titan that ate Eren’s mom was his first wife...?

Why he turn Eren to a titan dou and have him eat him...?

4, 5, 16 & 19 💋💋💋

hi daria thank you sm for the ask!!!

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you're really proud of (explain why, if you like)

hmm, idk if i have a “favorite” sentence/paragraph but one that sticks out to me for some reason is from my eren fic veronica!, where i write ‘you felt yourself hesitating, reluctant. suddenly it hit you. he did completely ignore your existence, he did fuck you like he loved you just to drop off the face of the earth, he did cheat on you that one time’. this paragraph, and the 2 that came before it rings in my mind bc i realize that i was lowkey projecting my past experience In relationships into this story, and encapsulated my inner battle with conflicting feelings toward someone i love but they did me wrong, more than once sometimes. (no one has broken into my house or anything crazy like that God forbid, but ive been spammed with text messages and calls, felt betrayed , left alone and all that extra stuff) so ig i just wanted to express the complexity of relationships?? 😭 and i had am having a bad eren brain rot rn so😀

5. What character that you're writing do you most identify with?

hmm, it sounds cliché but i do relate with black y/n or reader the most HAHQHQ . for obvious reasons bc they’re supposed to be us but idk.. fics like that really give me an escape from the real world and make me forget why im sad or depressed or tired or whatever, it lets me express myself and i enjoy reading and writing it:) other examples are two oc’s ive created in my book on wp about todoroki and dabi (link to these are in my navi post) but yeah!

16. Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?)

uhh, i want to start writing more ‘poetically’ in terms of my style, i feel like what i write isn’t good and what i do write isn’t enough. like not just writing fun things or slutty things or yandere things but writing them in a way that sounds poetic, like what it feels like to fall in love, or what season describes a person or something like that . in terms of fandoms i have so many drafts i just need the time to get to them all and perfect them😩 i want to start writing for genshin more bc i started playing and i love ittt and the works i come across with genshin characters are so good and top tier. i also wanna improve the types of yanderes i write, considering i have one of gojo, and have two in the drafts of reiner from aot and suga from haikyuu

19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe 'too often, trope you can't get enough of?)

one thing i don’t like about myself when i write is being too repetitive unintentionally, but when i do find something like that it’s like certain tropes when it comes to the reader/oc and the character (i.e. a couple with relationship problems and it’s angsty, the emotionless boyfriend takin it too far and not being affectionate to the point it damages their relationship to the point where the reader gets depressed she wants to leave im projecting again) or something along those lines . that leads me to my next point, i tend to project aspects of my personality into the oc/reader too much bc it gives me comfort but i should expand my “palette” a bit and write them differently then how i would act (bubbly or a brat or a bimbo or positive or something). whenever i write yandere i to always gravitate towards the ‘nice polite guy who always smiles and could never do no wrong but is different behind closed doors and is a obsessed maybe perverted sicko). idk why i like the idea of someone putting on a façade like that but they’re just *chefs kiss*. ik there are others but i can’t think of them rn💀😭

sorry this took me foreverrrr to write but it was fun!
