The other Future!Leo’s are so lucky to join, while mine aside from still not popping in my story yet, is ‘9 years old’, so he is too little to be part of it lol of course he is against the other Leo’s (except Aoi) so he is mainly cheering for the Michelangelo’s and other not Leo’s

Reincarnated!Future!Mikey aka Nikkō doesn’t care on the other hand lol he is just cheering for all his big brothers and sister to win! He will give hugs to the losers so they feel like they won! Because everyone is a winner at the end

It started with a slight rumble. Water rippling out from a cup as if a T-Rex had begun its escape. Pencils rattling as if a giant train was rushing by. It stopped as soon as it started, and Site 230 was still again.

Then the tremor began.

It was violent and sudden, throwing personnel down as it seemingly increased in strength. Cracks formed along the foundations, and anything not bolted down came crashing. Emergency Protocol E was enacted, emergency warheads were disabled for the time being and covered, and every person was safely hidden under what they must.

~

The morning was hectic, with all hands on deck. Agents, MTF, and researchers assisted in searching and rescuing any trapped and missing humanoids and D-Class. The psych team was asking questions while medics attended the wounded. Janitors were cleaning up any blood, the cooks were making comfort meals for everyone, and any remaining personnel aided where they could.

Site Director Anne Marie, despite her hesitancy, led well. Sure, she wasn't prepared for what seemed like an anomalous tremor attack, but that didn't matter at the moment. What mattered was ensuring that her personnel and the SCPs were not gravely injured or dead.

There had only been a few deaths and a few more were unaccounted for by after a few hours. Some off-site crew had been called in to help. SCP 919, The Clockmaker's Creation, had her battery damaged, and was currently being repaired.

Anne Marie note that while 919 was being repaired, the "SCP Squad", as they were called in her notes by the former Site Director, were huddled around her. They included Demetria Meadowood, Wizard Wally, Lily Teca, My Guardians, Blood Puppet, Spider-Boy, the Orchard Twins, the Serpentine Siblings, and even though he tried not to look concerned, Easel.

Anne Marie watched with interest as the group watched 919's head cog being reinserted, turning on, and spinning her arms and head 360 degrees to celebrate being turned back on all better. The group of sapients swarmed 919 with cheers and smiles.

"Makes it worth it, doesn't it" a voice called out from behind her. She turned and saw a face she didn't expect to see. There stood the now O5-11, "The Godfather", holding what seemed to be a yam. "I heard through the 'grapevine', that something happened, and I came to check up on things," He said as he lowered himself down to plant the yam.

He joined Anne Marie's side, his eyes immediately landing on the "SCP Squad".

"It pleases me," he began, "That their friendship still lasts. They've found their new family here, and I couldn't be more glad."

The silence was between them both for a moment before Enigma spoke once more.

"Seeing the smiles and happiness of them all... it makes the job more than worth it. Hopefully, you see that already. If not... then I just hope soon you'll see it like I do, Site Director Marie."

summer activity meme / accepting / @sleeplesswork​ : ⛱ - Yamraiha

This was definitely what they needed, a good day to just relax. Having just received his very last Djinn it meant that their dungeon capturing days were over, so before returning to Sindria to begin the rest of their lives of just work Sinbad figured he and of course his loyal vassals and crew would be rewarded for sticking with him thus far. Majority of everyone were in pairs..though he wondered why the world renowned genius was spending this refreshing  day on the beach on her own.

“Yam, never thought I’d see you here alone. I figured you’d be with the other girls.” Crossing both his arms over his chest he’d then give the shorter woman a grin, a cheerful one at that. “Or is this your way of looking for some one and one time with your king? OH what a selfish magician your are.” sinbad spoke rather teasingly.

SnK Chapter 132 Results

The chapter poll closed with 1,746 responses. This month’s chapter poll results were brought to you by /u/_Puppet_, /u/staraves, @momtaku​, @shifter-lines​ and /u/berthototototo

RATE THE CHAPTER 1,693 responses

When we compare “Wings of Freedom” with other chapter results we’ve recorded, it comes in 25th out of 41, making it middle of the pack as far as ratings go.  Looking at the chapter on it’s own, however, it’s very well received with nearly 86% of the fandom rating it good (30.4%) or great (55.3%).

I think it was definitely just a classic aot chapter, had that plot that always had you on the edge of your toes, had the emotional moments, the momentary funny and bittersweet moments, 10/10 chapter

It couldn’t have gone any better besides Hange’s death :/

wish Floch got a little more screen time upon death but otherwise, awesome chapter.

It felt a little bit rushed but I enjoyed it nonetheless

It was so well executed yet so sad. I'm pride of our Hanji but feel so much distress thinking it's over for her.

It was a great emotional piece, and last moment before the true final battle begins. There’s no going back.

It was a good chapter but I would’ve liked if there was more dialogue between the alliance members

The deaths were rushed and poorly written

It was good, but alliance focused chapters are still a drop in quality.

It was a solid chapter and did what it aimed to do well, though I think it had pacing issues with the two deaths.

It had a little something for everyone. Except Zeke stans.

WE’LL GET TO THE GOODBYES IN A SECOND, BUT FIRST, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT?

1,695 responses

Hange’s sacrifice was the moment that people liked the most at 30%, and seeing the old Survey Corp crew was a stand-out moment for 21%. Seeing Mikasa and Annie have an almost casual conversation brought joy to 12.1%, and Floch’s determination and brutal death were appreciated most by 11.6%.

I love the final shots of the scouts being shown in the afterlife. Ty Isayama

The little moments between the characters was great because it reminds us that they're still human.

The overall scene was legendary seeing Hange dying for her comrades and even in her last seconds she thought that she sacrificed herself in order for her comrades to live. That's what she thought a great commander would look like. That's why Hange was one of the best commanders of the Scouts.

Mikasa is such a boss, love seeing her fight and hopefully we'll get more big moments from her (as opposed to Levi).

Chad, King, hero. Every moment that Floch was in is a great scene.

I loved the Colossus slipping down the mountain

My favorite part is Kiyomi refilling coal with a shovel alone :)

  WHICH OF THE GOODBYES WAS YOUR FAVORITE 1,699 responses

In a chapter filled with goodbyes it was Levi and Hange’s final moments that we found most endearing with close to 60% selecting it. “Please don’t make me choose” was a very distant second with 14.7%. Interestingly Annie and Reiner (10.4%) beat out Annie and Armin (6.5%) for third place.

i think isayama truly gave hange a great goodbye, and writing them still being cheerful and joking around made me feel so much more for their death.

It made me cry because of all the goodbyes. It reminded me of Erwin saying goodbye to the people inside the walls and people of the military. And his iconic “roar”. All of that before the battle.

Hange’s and Levi’s goodbye was very well done (that look in Levi’s eyes too, ouch), props to Isayama for breaking my heart.

The Reiner/Annie hug was all I could ask for, bless Yams.

I wanted a Levihan moment for this chapter and NOT a last levihan scene 😭

  WHO WAS THIS CHAPTER’S MVP? 1,700 responses

Who else could it be? Hange Zoe is the chapter MVP according to two-thirds of all poll respondents. Floch (13%), Engineer-kun (3.4%) and Mikasa (2.6%) all got tiny slivers of the remaining pie.

Hange was truly the hero of this chapter and i'm so happy to have been witness to their characters journey over the years!

Hange is overall my second favourite character and I looked up to them. For me Hange is the true embodiment for the Survey Corps which is for Humanity and their courage, optimism and selflessness really made me love them so much.

Hange was a flawed commander. We all know this. They made mistakes like any other human being would when faced with the stress of a leadership position. They tried desperately to fill Erwins shoes but in the end accepted that they should be themselve. But overall Hange Zoe is an incredible person and I will miss them so

Best girl Mikasa rocked it this chapter with the way she swiftly killed Floch!

While I don't agree with some of Floch's beliefs, he died trying to save his home by slowing down the Alliance. Goodnight, sweet prince!

Floch did his best he anchored all the way from the beginning to the hangar with a bullet wound and that mustve hurt like hell all that salt water coming in

Someone please send me help I can't do this my family and friends got so worried because I've changed. They be like "Bro you've changed and I be like yeah Hange died bro what do you expect I'm in genuine pain you won't understand."

  HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT HANGE’S HEROIC EXIT? 1,701 responses

Just over half of respondents loved the way Hange went out at 51.4%, and 26.5% liked it despite some quibbles. Not many of us saw it coming but it was at least emotional and a badass way to go. However, 9.6% hated it – there is an undeniable trend of every vaguely older character getting the chop. Who will poor Levi sit with in the retirement home with now?! 6.8% don’t really care about how the scene went. I suppose they’re the ones most prepared if no one in SnK gets to go to the retirement home.

A great ending to an amazing character, it's sad to see her go, but her time was up and she died fighting the creatures she loved.

I'm disturbed by how much it affected me

I loved it, but its not something i'll cry over.

I don't hate it but it did seem kinda unnecessary tbh could've been better

I STILL CAN'T STOP CRYING ABOUT IT. OPTION ONE IS GOOD BUT DOESN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS CHAPTER HURT ME.

It does break my heart,however the way and the time she do that, That was... Memorable

It happened too quickly for me to consider it perfect, but I'm glad she got to go out on her own terms.

Not heroic at all, she didn't even stop the colossals and was a cheap way for her to never face the consequences of her betraying the island

It was dope but Floch indirectly killed her so he takes that dub

I'M STILL CRYING ABOUT IT, SHE WENT OUT LIKE A FUCKING CHAMP

I'm super frustrated that she died, but she was heroic

She’s a traitor, nothing more to be said

i hated it. it was perfect. she really did go out with a bang and i hate it

Felt a bit pointless, would've loved to see some emphasize why it was crucial to kill these exact two titans. For me it looked like plain suicide

Had to go through the 5 stages of grief after that one, honestly. I was so angry immediately afterward because Hange is my favorite character of all time in any piece of media, losing them was almost like losing someone I've known and cared about for almost 7 years of my life. I've now come to accept that maybe death is the only happy ending any character can achieve in this story.

I don’t want to think about it

I don't like the idea of every Scout commander having a ""curse"" that they have to inevitably pay for with their lives. They're outstanding people and volunteers, just like their comrades, no one forced them to join.

  WHAT WAS THE ASPECT YOU LIKED MOST ABOUT HANGE’S LAST MOMENTS? 1,687 responses

This question was fun to write but looking at the even distribution of selections, I suspect choosing an answer was difficult. Levi saying devote your heart to Hange was top pick with close to 30% selecting it. Retaining their sense of humor to the end (17.1%), being able to reunite with their old comrades (14.7%), having a moment of amazement while confronting the titans (14.4%), being able to die on their own terms and say goodbye (12.3%), stealing death from Reiner yet again (8.2%) and telling Armin he can boss Levi around (3.4%) were the other selections.

I really love Hange and when i see her died and see erwin and other old friends and morbit helping her i just cannot cry (sorry for my english im french ^^)

I was never a really big fan of Hange, but that exit was badass as hell.

It was a heroic death but it felt forced and unnecessary and she was my favorite character, so I'm extremely salty and in denial.

Hange seemed too eager to just die, like welp, i guess my contract is up, gotta go die.....It felt like when actors are written off a show

I never really considered myself a fan of her, but her death got me good. I think it was because how she marvelled and was genuinely amazed by titans, even in her final moments.

glad to see the old titan obsessed hange back before her final sacrifice

Most people seem to think that Hange's death was a bullshit ending, but I think that it was perfect, going out the way they were introduced.

To have hange say that titans are amazing before she dies was just perfect! It shows how she stayed true to herself until the end. And the part where she reunited with Moblit, Erwin, Mike and the others was so beautiful.

  WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE HANGE QUOTE THIS CHAPTER? 1,686 responses

Hange really got to shine this chapter as we’re reminded of how off-kilter and fun they can be, even when the situation is at its most serious. We got a chapter chock full of memorable lines, but the favorite was of course “Titans really are incredible,” a call back to the reverence and respect for titans that made so many love the character to begin with.

"titans.. are truly incredible." was a fitting last(ish) words for hange.

  SO GOES THE 14TH COMMANDER OF THE SCOUTS, HANGE ZOE, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THEIR PREDECESSORS. WHAT ARE YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS ON THEIR OVERALL LEGACY? 802 responses

GOAT

I think their legacy is one of grit and determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Not as revolutionary as say, Erwin, but they were perseverant and selfless, and innovative in their own right, as a scientist and researcher, always seeking new possibilities.

I will always remember Hange as our awesome scientist who came up with ideas for weapons! and was passionate about titans! and would stand up for a better comprehension of them instead of... whatever it is that Isayama made of Hange post-time skip that they no longer could shine about anything or would even reflect about what Eren was going through. Love you, Hange, you deserved that we followed your struggles more closely. <3

Hange became the commander in the most difficult moment and had bad times having to deal with politics, a whole new world and their own powerlessness. I think the Alliance is their most precious legacy and it really represents the old SC's spirit.

I adored seeing them go from loony scientist to a powerful and serious commander, even if it did come with a boatload of trauma. I also respect the hell out of them for being willing to watch their own culture destroyed if it meant not committing genocide. On a more personal note, as a nonbinary person it's just been really wonderful to see a character like Hange treated with such respect.

Amazing character and leader. Not on Erwin's level but she was a badass 😭😭 #rip

*you tried star*

A bit hypocritical. She was willing to stop Eren and endanger all Eldiana to save strangers from other nations that want to kill them. She also says killing is wrong, but proceeds to kill multiple Eldians unbothered, but when she sees Marleyans or people from other nations, she softens up.

Being a commander is not an easy job, and Hange's start was even more difficult because of Zeke annihilating like 90%(??) of the Scouts and the reveal in the basement and the crisis that followed. Still, she kept going, never giving up, even if she clearly had some moments of selfdoubt. I feel like Hange can be proud of herself and the life she lived, and I am happy that she was able go in her own terms. Her death bought them precious time, but it was a great loss as well. I feel a bit empty and wistful...

Brilliant character, brilliant way to let them go. I’m most interested to see how this death will effect Armin and his leadership as they alliance approach the founding titan. I’m also glad we got to see them in the afterlife, that was a bittersweet comfort.

Every commander dies young, rip armin

Hange was annoying. Glad they're dead.

Hange was incredible in their own field of interest, but definitely not fit to be the commander. Loved how they could be themself once again at the end.

Followed in Erwin's footsteps and even went beyond. Hange will be remembered as the commander who took Paradis from the titans and who explored beyond the island for the first time in 100+ years. Plus a rational commander, putting facts and science before everything else, as well as grasping how important diplomacy and politics are even beyond Paradis. Also although quirky, an example of tolerance.

Fuck that.. Their death was worthy of them.. it was a very sweet goodbye.. But I really thought they would make it to the end... And I really wanted them to. Hange was such an important character, they did so much for the cause and for everyone. They were someone who could be trusted but who didn't hesitate to do what had to be done. Incredibly smart and humbled, I just wish they believed in themselves a bit more.. cus they are incredible.

Hange was given a shit-circus to try and handle- complete with clowns, children causing mayhem, and a giant fucking monkey.

Her "gEnOcIdE iS wRoNg" quote with no actual solution in 126 really turned me off for her for a while as a character; overall however, Hange was one of the more memorable and likable characters from the series and it's sad to see her go.

Given the difficult job of rebuilding the Survey Corps after its destruction with very little help. Had to deal with the wannabe hegemon in Zackly who was doing lots of underhanded power grabs in the background. Had to deal with a populace who finally realized they were not alone. Had to deal with a moody weapon known as the Attack titan who knew all the answers but shared it with no one. Poor Hange who was never given a chance for victory

Hange was amazing character that got entirely too much flack for not being a "good commander" This is a character that above all stayed true to themselves in what they fought for and believed in.

Hange Zoe spat on the legacy of the scouting league by squandering their sacrifice to protect their families and communities. Hange's actions if successful will likely lead to the deaths of all their families which is something they would never support.

Considering how we never truly knew if Erwin was totally devoted to humanity or totally selfish, and considering Shardiz' inferiority complex, Hanji was the true one who gave her whole being to humanity and who truly embodied Survey Corps' abnegation, without any regard toward such senseless conception like homeland. No wonder why the title of her final battle is "Wings of Freedom"

Legendary commanders, each one going out with with a bang. Erwin going out by distracting Monke and Levi taking him out. Hange going out by taking care of a few Bert ripoffs, having the alliance survive a few more hours. And Armin, wait-

Hange helped the main characters in the story with her quick thinking and managed to put the missing pieces into place for us. Their different outlook on the whole situation gave us a fresh perspective and there’ll be no one else like them.

hange is great!!! too bad she tortured bean and sawney tho and sannes smh but 10/10 regardless love that mad scientist

Hange embodied the spirit of the survey corp. She was the commander that made unlikely alliances and advanced Paradis infrastructure.

Hange has been one of my favorite characters. They are the best Titan Scientist. RIP.

Thank you Hange, you did great 💖

  FLOCH FINALLY GOT THE GLOCK. OR ACTUALLY, THE ANCHOR. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF HIS LAST HURRAH? 1,660 responses

Let’s not forget that Hange wasn’t the only major death in this chapter.  After months of being voted most likely to die, Floch’s time finally came.  About 30% of respondents are just celebrating that he’s finally dead, a quarter are glad he’s dead but got this last fun scene, and 20.4% are glad he was able to screw with the alliance once more before dying.

🦀🦀🦀FLOCH IS DEAD🦀🦀🦀

A fitting ending for an interesting, yet very unpleasant character. Love how his death was contrasted with Hange's, and the fact that Mikasa was the one to off him (the symbolism of the person who represents Eren's humanity killing the person who keeps referring to him as the devil is... well, not subtle but it can't be ignored).

Could have done more, but he never wavered or lost his convictions, more of a hero than any of the alliance will ever be

he should have been dead since 129, makes no sense

He should've stayed on the island and failed

Died a hero, wouldn’t even beg for his life but for his friends and countrymen instead

Even though I didn't really like him, I have my full respect to him for following his beliefs till his last breath

Floch is one of the best characters, and most complex characters, he got a very good ending.

I love eren’s boyfriend ♡

He died a hero's death after carrying chapters 124-130 on his back. He also did nothing wrong.

He's a mega chad and I love him. Managing to survive underwater for 2 days and slowly losing blood, and then shooting the ship to stop the Alliance, and then having a bomb-ass speech? He was a legend that needs to be appreciated more.

His arm should've been blown off to begin with and even if it wasn't, he should've died from hypothermia. I think it was needed drama, but done poorly.

His death was far better executed than I thought. He shot the fuel tank instead of one of the SC or one of the engineers/Onyankopon. That should tells you that he just want them to stop, not killing them all. He stays true to his belief of saving Paradis by following Eren, even in his last words he is pleading for Paradis' instead of his own live. From someone whose country has been colonized once, I say that is a true soldier for his nation.

Oh fuck off floch, he was a dick with volatile ideals anyway. Fuck that guy honestly. Like I agree with his stance but like. Everytime it feels oddly implanted when he has an opinion, like he does think with his own head but gets influenced very easily into changing sides too fast? Like, he does the right things but jot for the right reasons because he doesn't really think them through enough? That's my vibe. Idk. Ignore all my answers I feel stupid

RIP Hero of Paradis. To save your civilisation is an admirable goal, although it being achieved through genocide is still morally wrong

I'm sad he didn't get to know how Eren used him.

  FLOCH FORSTER WAS A COMMANDER IN HIS OWN RIGHT, FIGHTING HIS WAY UP FROM HIS ORIGINS AS A BACKGROUND CHARACTER. ANY OVERALL THOUGHTS ON THE BIRD NEST BOI AND HIS IMPACT ON THE STORY? 912 responses

Best boy. Fly high you little devil :(( <3

a bitch but i respect the fact that he did what he believed in (even if its genocide😕)

Controversially, I have no opinion on him.

Ding dong the witch is dead

A character that was perfectly written for his purpose. AoT World isnt black and white and he showed us. Pain and loss made the Floch that died in 132. but Eldia and Marley made the Floch that survived to see all his comrades dead.

Floch is shit :) but also is a good character because its represents a real human.

A complete and satisfying character. It's not easy to summarize, but the way he went from a naive gloryhound to a single-minded guy trying to make his own survival/the deaths from the charge mean something while still remaining a relatively normal, unremarkable soldier was great. Also, I appreciate how he, Eren, and the Yeagerists basically reenacted Uprising by overthrowing a regime that would've just continued the royal family-eating and messed around until the island got destroyed. The prediction from Sannes all those years ago turned out to be too accurate, unfortunately.

A lot of people did hate Floch, I didn't. I think adding Floch to the story was just as essential as the other supporting characters. He played out a good and effectively annoying enemy. I think in every Action-thriller story, a Floch is a must as a villain. The hate on Floch reminded me of the hate on Joffrey from Game of Thrones. But Joffrey did have a great impact on the story, so did Floch. The way he was written just really did manage to get on our nerves, and I think that's what makes a character great.

A true patriot.

An asshole but at least he went out feeling like a rounded character

An nazi ass bitch

Based and Redpilled

Best character not named Eren or Erwin.

By far exceeded expectations.

Disagree with his agenda, but he's a very real character and a representation of the monster someone can become when driven by survivor's guilt and trauma.

He was the literally epitome of a roller coaster ride.

Floch always felt like a background character, and even though he gets far more to do than other background characters, he never felt like an actual person but rather just a plot device. He has no personality.

Floch was surprisingly good given he was such a minor character. He fully displayed the shades of gray of the narrative.

Heck him >:(

Floch has always been someone who held an opposing view to the main cast, and his entire arc revolved around his need to "bring back the devil" in order to ensure the safety of his land and his people. Some people seem to have forgotten that, but at his core he never changed. Sad to see him go out like this.

Floch has my respect for fighting until the very end (and even after the end since we all thought he'd been killed by Gabi) for what he believes in, but obviously it is not what I and my favourite characters believe in, so I'm glad he's gone. His impact is great as he earned the title of "most tenacious villain ever" when he only really started as a coward rookie soldier many chapters ago. Also props to him for holding onto this boat for such a long time and being up for a fight after probably being hauled in the sea and swallow more water he ever had his entire life.

The panel of him shushing Hanji will always be iconic. His descent into nationalism (new Eldian empire, anyone?) however, was not so cash money"

When Floch had captured Miss Kiyomi (ch. 128) he dismissed what she said and had his speech about ‘it’s important to know your place’, and then not even a minute later he was taken down by this same old lady smh. Previously, he wanted to kill Onyankopon and Yelena, but Jean deceived him and he failed. Later, he wanted to kill someone on the boat, but Gabi shot him and he failed. He wanted to stop the alliance, but Mikasa got him with her anchor and he didn’t just fail, he died. I’ve seen some readers applaud him for fighting for what he believes in and having a strong will, but they don’t see what else there is. Strong will? Not giving up? So many characters have the same traits in AoT. The difference is that Floch repeatedly never achieved what he wanted to accomplish, despite his strong will and belief to not give up. His determination and willpower made him achieve nothing. By contrast, Hange’s will and determination to keep fighting made her kill about 2-4 colossals and save her allies just in time for them to get away. Is the difference obvious enough? Their deaths are even put in the same chapter. Floch was not important, admirable, or whatever you want to praise him like. He kept interfering with the alliance and for what? He simply never knew his place.

He played a larger role than I ever thought he would and became one of the most interesting characters during this time. I’m glad he was here to push the story along, and I’ll miss him.

His fans are insufferable but he is a needed counterbalance to the alliance characters and stuck to his beliefs to the end.

He started up as a fodder and ends up as one of the biggest threats for SC. I might be in the minority when I said I already like him since pre time skip. He showed us how the war is like from the perspective of a normal soldier, not the talented ones who got into the 10 top ranks. Just a normal soldier who was inspired by the words of his leader to devote his heart, and came to a realization that it's an actual hell, just like reality. Maybe he's wrong to vent about choosing Armin instead of Erwin when Armin was feeling down, but I can understand. All his friends died, he's currently having emotional and survivor trauma over the suicide charge, and all of those sufferings came to a waste because of the people in front of him.

Pee pee poo poo

Good riddance. What a worthless pile of garbage.

Goodnight sweet prince

  ARMIN WANTS TO BRING ALONG THE LEFTOVER EXPLOSIVES. HOW WILL THEY BE USED? 1,638 responses

Chekov’s explosives are now in play.  37.7% of you think they’ll be used to try to blow Eren out of his nape, and 33.7% think they’ll definitely be used for another suicide mission.

Another failed suicide attempt by Reiner

Any of the above, depending on the situation. I think Armin isn't really thinking of anything in particular, simply that having the option to explode something is better than not.

Armin could use them as a suicide necklace to threaten Eren. If Eren still cares for Armin he may stop the rumbling if he knows it will stop Armin from killing himself and possibly Mikasa.

dude there's been so many unexpected turns and plot twists right now I really don't want to make any assumption. But the plane idea is interesting.

i still think armin will fight eren with his colossal titan. I can only hope for something truly epic.

I think they'll be used for more than one of the above

Idk, but for sure they want to damage Eren's Titan to buy some time in doing something

If Eren doesn’t comply I’d assume they will be used to destroy his “nape” if they can even find it. Someone probably has to go on a suicide mission to do so.

Kamikaze Onyankopon like its written all over the poor fellas face,

Levi will suicide bomb Zeke to cut off Eren's connection to paths

make my brain explode hopefully since this plot is ridiculously bad

Only Armin (and Isayama) knows how the explosives will be used. I'm sure it will have something to do with stopping Eren.

Plan A: Blast Eren nape, but it will fail so Plan B: Kamikaze

Reiner will try to use the bombs to commit suicide and take Eren with himself

they'll probably kaboom zook with that idk (I missed my monke so so much)

They will be as useful as farting on Eren.

  WHAT DID YOU THINK OF MIKASA AND ANNIE’S CONVERSATION? 1,665 responses

Mikasa and Annie have a heart to heart near the start of the chapter, after being rivals early in the story.  The two most popular options were being in awe of the cuteness when Armin became the topic, at 34%, and just loving seeing these two characters interact, at 31.3%.  17.5% are wondering how they made the switch to friends so quickly, 9.5% view it as rehashing what’s already been talked about, and 7.8% are more interested in that Mikannie action.

Mikasa's reaction was so cute after realizing Annie has a thing for Armin.

The chapter was also surprisingly humorous, with Mikasa's reaction to learning Annie likes Armin having me burst out laughing.

The sudden closeness between Alliance members who used to be enemies, such as Mikasa/Annie, feel forced and unearned, and the extra Armin/Annie shipping is just unnecessary and a waste of panels when we are so close to the ending yet many things still need closure.

Aruani😍

Mikasa and Annie's conversation almost made me gag because I feel so sorry for Annie having to put up with the constant misunderstanding of her feelings. Annie is aromantic and Mikasa needs to sit down and respect that fact quite like Armin himself does.

I legit laughed out loud when reading Mikasa and Annie's chit chat. At 1 AM.

  MIKASA TELLS ANNIE SHE HAS KEPT THE SCARF WITH HER. WHAT DO YOU THINK HER PLAN IS? 1,662 responses

The scarf has become an actual plot point as of late, with Louise stealing it and now this.  Will it be important for the end game?  45.1% of you believe Mikasa will use it to try to see if the Eren she used to know, who gave it to her is still in there somewhere.  29.1% of you don’t think she has any particular plans as of yet.  15.2% think she’ll comfort Eren in it once they stop him, and 10.5% are putting their money down on the “She’ll use it to strangle Eren” option.

Mikasa need to understand the Eren she remembers is no longer coming back from this.

Mikasa is really a frustrating character... but I think it's on purpose that she keeps swinging from realizing who he really is (chapter 123) and still wanting to be with him (or rather the idealized version she has of him aka the ""old Eren""), because her whole character arc is to separate herself from Eren and coping with it."It's up to Mikasa whether or not she'll be a slave. If she decides to fight against her slave instincts, Eren will have no choice but to kill her since, as an Ackerman, Mikasa, is immune to the memory-fuckery.

In fact, Mikasa should just hang herself with Eren's scarf and the story would become infinitely better and women might finally have better representation. I have never liked Mikasa, but now I actively despise her. She is nothing more than an Eren simp as was revealed to us when she said she's still holding onto that threadbare rag of hers despite everything Eren has proven himself capable of doing. You know, that whole genocide thing that Mikasa herself barely survived in this very chapter while her Commander very much did not. "

I feel tired of people who make fun of Mikasa. She is the one who still believes in Eren's good side and doesn't see him as monster. Everyone else see Eren as devil, while Mikasa still keeps memories about kind Eren and believes that this "old Eren" still is somewhere there. He is the most important person in her life and she will not give up on him as fast as everyone think. She is not obsessed. She is aware of Eren's dark side, of his cruelty and everything he has been doing, but on the same time she will still keep trying to help him and show him that he is NOT the devil, he is not as horrible person as he thinks he is. Everyone are saying that HISTORIA saved him in the cave when he was in his dark moments. Maybe this time it will be Mikasa who will save him from his darkest nightmare.

I can't wait for Eren × Mikasa confrontation "

  WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN WITH THOSE ON THE BOAT? 1,653 responses

The party has split in two, with one half going directly to Eren, and the other half…?  Nearly half of you think that they’ll certainly end up doing something to help the alliance still.  21.8% think they’ll run into the survivors of Liberio, 17.9% think they will in fact be absent for most of the story no, and 11% think they’ll dock at Paradis and do something of import there.

Please isayama, please don’t add any more needless sideplots with the boat doing something

Could have done many alliance interactions/good-byes better. Reiner didn't seem to care for the kids, despite them being his motivation to live. Bert never mentioned. Annie/Armin had no discussion. What are the boat crew even going to do?

"Falco & co. WILL join the battle! At least he has to, because the Jaw Titan is the only one who can break through the Warhammer's hardening!

With them leaving Falco behind (and therefore the Jaw titan's power), I think the explosives may at some point be used if Even tries to shield himself using the Warhammer's power.

Anyone that thinks Annie, Falco and Gabi sailed off is an idiot.

The only thing I'm not too sure about is Annie, Gabi, Falco, Yelena and Kiyomi staying behind. I was every character to have their chance to shine in the final battle. Hopefully, Isayama will find a way to bring these characters back into the conflict.

  WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT LEVI EQUIPPING HIMSELF FOR BATTLE? 1,661 responses

After being blown up and almost out of the story a year and a half ago, Levi is finally suiting back up to get a slice of someone or something, despite still being heavily injured and scarred.  Almost half of the fandom, at 44.6% are excited for his upcoming role in the story, but find it hard to believe he’s ready to fight, as it hasn’t quite been a year and a half in their world.  About a quarter, at 23.2% have been waiting for this moment to finally come for all that time.  15.1% want him to stay away from danger the way he has been, and 9.2% wish he would have just died all those chapters ago.

Kinda silly, but I'll roll with it.

Now that we know Levi is ready for battle, I think his role in the story at this point is for one final confrontation with Zeke (assuming Zeke is within Eren's Founding Titan body somewhere). There, Levi will kill Zeke once and for all to finally fulfill his promise to Erwin, but something tells me Levi will die shortly after he lands the killing blow on Zeke.

Beast Titan vs Levi Round 3

Can't wait till he's forced to team up with Zeke

He will go out in a blaze

Definitely going out with a bang. He’s done with life, it’s obvious he is just here now to complete an objective, he wants to go out strong because of the weight of the survey corpse members gave him. Everyone he has cared about has died. He wants make them proud in a sense, at least dying with pride, and finally getting to meet them again in the afterlife.

I think he should have died in the explosion BUT I think that to do that, he should have had a longer philosophical talk with zeke and overcome his erwin issues, AND THEN die

He’s survived this long- he’s definitely earned the rights to go out on his own terms.

His comeback to fight is just another asspull.

How can he even move, let alone fight? If he survives all of this I’ll be shocked.

I can only see a Pyrrhic victory. I'm scared.

Isayama still has the chance to have Levi die by Eren's hands. The entire story has been leading up to this. Levi was always right about Eren and the sweet irony is that Levi always fought and saw all of his comrades die for Eren only to get killed by Eren as well.

I don't know why people are angry at that. Levi is a soldier and is not a suicidal one. He has a definite role to play and I don't want him to sit around. He's been through much worse.

He is a liability, I don't see him surviving.

-Death flag initiated-

He ain't surviving this one, huh?

Good that he’s feeling better. But I don’t want him to die.

He’s going to make a final charge and die

The man can barely stand on his own, so I think fighting is pretty much out of the question. Really interested in seeing what a character who has always relied first and foremost on violence is going to do now that this has been taken away from him.

As a good commander (and letting annie stay) Hange or Armin had to tell him to stay in boat, like he s only going to kill himself against zeke if he crossed him

He'll be fine...right? RIGHT?!

he'll probably die in a suicide attack on the monke

I feel like this may be a death-sentence. Levi dying and finally getting the burden of killing Zeke off his chest is a likely/ and good way for his character arc to end.

I just hope he doesn't have a cliche death alongside Zeke.

He'll rest with his comrades soon

He will get more injured, then give a speech to mikasa about letting the man he loved die instead of becoming a monster, then he will die

Watching him makes my anxiety level raised to 100

He's gonna give monkey chan a thousand years of death two finger style

Please just let him rest, he's tired, I'm tired, we're all tired ffs

  YELENA IS HOLDING FAST TO HER BELIEF IN THE EUTHANASIA PLAN AS THE ONLY WAY TO PEACEFULLY END THE CONFLICT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ZEKE’S PLAN IN HINDSIGHT? 1,620 responses

While the plurality of fans acknowledge Zeke’s plan is better than Eren’s (at 48.2%), only 7.7% say they agree in hindsight, and 5.8% always agreed with Zeke, for a combined 13.5%.  This makes a total of 61.7% who would vote for it over Eren’s plan today.  Interestingly, when Zeke’s plan was first revealed in 114, 76% voted for his plan when given the choice between that and rumbling the world.  So after seeing the rumbling, the support for Zeke’s plan as an alternative has actually dropped.

I get it, Yelena’s something of an ideologue but the fact that she still thinks euthanasia is the way to go is sad

I originally thought forced euthanization was disgusting and now I’m hindsight it’s still disgusting and solves nothing.

I still hate it. The lesser evil doesn't mean it's an optimal solution. Would've kept Kiyomi's plan by sacrificing Historia and only attacking the military forces to keep them at bay.

Thinking with logic only, Zeke had a good plan, but if we put emotions and moral in to play, it's just horrible. I don't support it, not even now.

It's a terrible plan. Eren's plan is evil AF, but it's not stupid. Zeke's plan it's stupid. Imagine throwing your entire nation under the bus because your dad didn't hug you? Zeke's a loser.

Maybe so in this messed up world, but then again no. Both plans are awful, the answer to solving this question was to stop hatred in the first place and find a way to have a conversation with everyone. Clearing the air, stopping the rumors and fake news regarding Eldians being devils, etc.

Both plans are shit. 50 year plan + a partial Rumbling (in other words probably Armin's choice) is the most logical plan.

Denying children being born is denying a human being to grow and live their own live, and experience the world. I never accepted Zeke's plan and never will.

Depends whether you were born in Paradis or outside of Paradis.

Eren's plan is better. It ensures Eldians can survive and continue to grow. Zeke's plan just makes them die out. Me no likey.

50 year plan gang 50 year plan gang

Both plan suck.. But everything fair in love and war so...   The winner was the one who right

There has to be some third option we/they just can't think of that doesn't involve genociding the entire planet *or enslaving another young woman (Historia in this case)

Zeke's plan was the lesser evil OF THESE TWO (Rumbling and Euthanasia). They should have found a third, peaceful option that doesn't kill anyone off.

“Evil is evil, Stregobor. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

  JEAN SEEMED RATTLED BY FLOCH’S FINAL WORDS. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY WILL AFFECT JEAN? 1,641 responses

We’ve seen Jean yearn for a peaceful life on Paradis, and Floch has tried to convince him to give in to that desire before.  Did Floch’s dying words do anything to further affect Jean?  About 69% of respondents say that we will see Jean think on them, but he’ll end up staying with his current convictions.  Interestingly, among the 17.8% who think he will change his mind on helping the alliance, 12.9% think he’ll join Eren and actively oppose the alliance, vs. the 4.9% who think he’ll just abandon the mission like Annie.

After 127 no way is Jean leaving the Alliance. However, I think this will affect his resolve and affect whatever discussion they end up having over how to stop Eren.

Dies trying to avenge Mikasa

He was rattled by Floch's dying moments, as he was one of the last survivors from the Survey corps of Erwin's time

He'll single-handedly stop Eren by telling him how cringe his followers are

he's gonna hesitate when he shouldn't have and will die for it

I feel like it's not the words, but the actions--Floch is who Jean could have been if he didn't see past his own self-interest.

Floch died so his homeland could live. His noble death will inspire Jean to fulfill his duty as a soldier of ELDIA, and oppose the alliance. Thus, Floch will have helped Eldia one last time. Even after he died.

He's too coward to do something about it. Jean's arc was all about suppressing his own desires and keep moving forward; he's a slave of his sense of duty.

I smell another sacrifice coming.

I think it's too late for him to change his mind at this point. We're almost at the end. He'll move forward because that's what he promised Marco. He won't be able to look him and his comrades in the eye if he alters his stance.

  WAS ARMIN THE BEST CHOICE AS COMMANDER? 1,639 responses

From Keith to Erwin, to Hange to Armin.  Was that the right step to take in the line of succession?  The majority, at 61.8% believe that Armin is the perfect choice, at least for this particular Eren scenario.  Just over a quarter, at 26.5% are sticking with Marco saying Jean has the potential to lead.  11.7% are wishing Hange stayed in command instead.

I didn't like the way Hange died and how she left the commander role to Armin. He's probably the worst person to take the job, not long ago he was literally trying to kill himself (chapter 126) cause that's how insecure he is.

"I both believe Jean makes a better overall commander than Armin *and* that Hange's choice in this instant was the correct one.

Jean has more of a skill and flair for leadership. He is, as Marco once said, the every man which makes it easier to follow him. With his attitude, he can inspire others to follow his plans even if they do not closely know him. He also has some more confidence in himself. He doesn't have Armin's mind for crazy strategies, but he still can reasonably think of his feet and is willing to take hard decisions and sacrifices as they are needed. If the story was still like it had been earlier in the manga, with a big Survey corps and regular missions, he should be the commander.

People are arguing who ""deserved"" to be the commander between Armin and Jean, when it doesn't fucking matter because there are like 5 people left in ""old"" SC and they are all on a suicide mission. What *does* matter is that everything was pushed on poor Armin yet again, first Erwin was allowed to die and his legacy was put on him and Hange, who never asked for this, now Hange killed themselves too and left Armin to solve this shit by himself. I wish he would call out Levi, because his decision in Serumbowl is what led to this mess, but we'll probably not get that.

Jean shouldve be the commander but it's okay to be armin

Either Hange should've lived or Jean should've been the commander

Armin becoming Commander was probably the highlight of this chapter for me

I thought it was a good death for hange, but also kind of a combo of all of the above choices; their death seemed rushed just to make armin commander. I don’t hate armin, but I don’t think he should be commander, and it feels so much like isayama had NOTHING planned for hange ad commander, which was extremely disappointing. but at least hans is at peace lol

Armin as commander? Really? He has never really led troops in to battle. He is not a logistician or a tactician. He is only a good strategist, but even then he failed to plan for everything that Eren has so far done. Can you imagine him turning into a titan and attempting to direct everyone? He’ll kill them all or put them on fire by waving his arms. I’m so worried for him and for Jean too. Jean is suppose to be the next commander or why else is he even here?

A bit sad we didn’t get much time with her a commander, but she was a GOAT

A "You Tried" commander that was truly ineffective. Erwin should've been kept around.

Each Survey Corps Commander (current or former) all dedicated their hearts to protect humanity. If someone or something threatens their mission and their lives, they do what is necessary to uphold the mission, mainly giving up their lives in order to give time for their comrades to act. Their sacrifices affect their closest allies to the point that they have to carry on their mission by any means necessary.

Felt like a filler commander for Armin wish Hange had gotten to do more and be more successful

1- Armin isn't the new commander of the survey corps because the SC belongs to Paradise island and he & his group betrayed that place .

2- Armin is the new commander of the alliance .

Not sure of making Armin commander the best choice but mmm yeah, Isayama needed them out of the way to make a final Armin/Eren confrontation *sigh*

survey cops commander is the worst position you can find yourself at the moment. I can't even imagine what's on Armin mind right now

Armin does actually make the better leader. The problem in front of them is Eren. Even though he doubts himself right now, Armin has always been able to understand Eren and get through to Eren in a way others (and definitely not Jean) can't. He's also capable of thinking outside of the box in a manner that this situation needs. Though he's only now made commander, throughout the Rumbling arc, we've already seen that his closest friends look to him for leadership/plans. And while he still lacks self-confidence (though, who knows, maybe he'll get a special Levi talk??) a lot of his other leadership flaws (like his limited ability to command and inspire groups) are not relevant now because there isn't huge group of people anymore. There is just a handful of his friends left who already trust in his abilities. He doesn't need to inspire loyalty right now; that has already been built over years.

Narratively speaking the Alliance are the true successors of the SC, not the Jaegerist and the 15th commander is Armin, not Floch.

Hange should've stayed alive.

king jean commander jean ftw

  COULD SOMEONE ELSE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE COLOSSALS IN PLACE OF HANGE? 1,621 responses

We’re losing a lot of veterans lately and suddenly.  After Magath and Keith’s sacrifice a few chapters ago, was Hange’s necessary as well?  The vast majority, at just over ¾ say that others could have technically taken the role, but Hange was still the best choice to stay behind, as morale would be drained much more by the commander sending others to their deaths.

A mix between love and hate. With Shadis' death (specially after Nile and Pixis) I thought that Isayama was judt getting rid of a veteran again. But Hange's death at least had her in character, and she was the one who deserved to see her comrades the most.

At first it was nice to see them sacrificing themselves but then I noticed i didn't really care much. It was too sudden and a copypaste of Magath's death

Hange died because the situation called for it. She did what she had to do because of Floch. I feel like the anime will make it much clearer that Hange HAD to die.

Shoulda been Reiner bruh

I think Armin could use his titan, stand on the water and push avery titan that was going to destroy the Angar but anyway

Shadis' death left a bad taste in my mouth since Magath could've handled the deed on his own. Shadis didn't need to die. Hanji too could've sent someone else in her stead; she is (was) the commander, a veteran, she was necessary. Not saying that I would've wanted Jean or Connie to die or anything, but sending one of these two or Mikasa to hold back the titans would've made sense.

  WHAT IS THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SCENE WHERE HANGE MEETS THE DEAD SCOUTS? 1,649 responses

The scene where Hange, after having died, seems to wake up to meet the rest of the deceased Survey Corps members was a scene unlike any we’ve seen before in this manga. Isayama hasn’t shied away from the depressing reality of death before, so what exactly is happening here? 45.9% of respondents think it was strange enough that something real was happening, Paths, afterlife… something. 30.3% don’t buy it being real and think it was a symbolic scene, perhaps to lessen the pain of Hange’s death. 23.8% think it was purely in Hange’s mind, a euphoric experience to lessen the physical shock of death. Whatever it was, it was remarkable.

Purely symbolic, though I don’t mind if it has to do with Paths

The comrades scene its a metaphore of the relief she had sacrificing herself, being useful just like her comrades and friends before her.

Probably Valhalla, would be pretty badass if it was confirmed in the end to actually be Valhalla or something.

THE AOT AFTER LIFE  IS REAL AND MY BBYS LIVE AGAIN 🤧😭

The author was trying to Placate the audience over killing off a popular character

The characters that died may have their happy ending in heaven

The dead comrades have always been watching over the living.

We only see Eldians, it very well could be a connection to Paths. And it seems like the people you go to are people you knew well and had a strong connection with. ALSO I'M HAPPY WE GOT A GLIMPSE OF SASHA and seeing Erwin for most likely the final time is cool too.

Afterlife real. Dead characters keep on living. Shifters go to PATHS, probably. Expect a specific someone to appear :)

Delusions of a naive and idealistic character. Hange saw what Hange wanted to see.

Dunno, but i REALLY hope that was just Isayama softening the blow for Hanji fans and what not, otherwise having a true afterlife would render all deaths and racrifices pointless and would ruin the whole theme of survival the manga has.

Eren may be using PATHS fuckery to comfort Hange in her death.

I believe the final scene did happen as Instructor Keith is seen in the back and Hange should have no knowledge of his death.

I don't think Isayama particularly cares for fan service in any regard (though Annie x Armin might signal a change), so I don't think he'd dedicate that to make Hange's death any less tragic. I think there's something to it.

  NOW THAT WE’VE SEEN THAT IT’S POSSIBLE FOR OUR DEAD FAVORITE CHARACTERS TO STILL HAVE THEIR SOULS, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE REST OF THE STORY? 1,621 responses

If these ghostly figures do make another appearance in the final confrontation, what on earth will they do?! 43.1% say they don’t matter damn it, because they’re not even real. 32.2% think the dead characters might be alive in some kind of afterlife, but it’s just an interesting part of the SnK universe. 18.8% think that PATHS will make its infinite fuckery known once again, and 6% think that those ghosts are going to make a difference standing up to Eren – how is he gonna fight against a million dead guys, huh?

The most interesting part about the data we got was a surge in responses for only this and the previous question. About 300 entries to the poll which only wanted to submit that “It was purely symbolic and Hange did not experience this,” and “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts. It was just in Hange’s mind or symbolic.” Now that is curious indeed. For someone who ain’t afraid of ghosts, I’m sensing some real trepidation here!

They likely will not interact with nor affect the coming events, as their roles have already played out.

" Valhalla’s battle-honed residents are there by the will of Odin, who collects them for the perfectly selfish purpose of having them come to his aid in his fated struggle against the wolf Fenrir {Fenir had been previously associated with Eren by fans} during Ragnarok – a battle in which Odin and the einherjar are doomed to die."

Setup for Reiner to converse with his fallen comrades.

Afterlife. Not convinced it's significant in any way, but would love it to be

An afterlife would be completely unnecessary for the story and make things needlessly more complicated for little reason/narrative payoff.

Feels like a set up for an ending where even if everyone dies they can be together in the afterlife

Mobuhan is fucking real

Hange is in heaven, surrounded by everyone who she's fought alongside. She can't help the alliance in any way, but she can watch them win. And they will win.

They are bystanders.

  CARE TO EXPOUND YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS SCENE AND WHAT IT MEANS? 611 responses

Through PATHS the thought of 'Afterlife' is possible. And if it isn't, then it's nice to hallucinate something good while they're dying.

Is hange really dead?

it means ERWIN KNOWS WHAT'S IN THE BASEMENT AYEEEE

IT MEANS ERWIN GETS MORE LINES WOOO

y'know how from the start there's been the idea that the survey corps have been making sacrifices that no one will ever care about? this is a rebuke to that. Hange, like every other survey corps member, is watched over by their own dead and now Hange gets to be a part of the ghost crew that watches over the corps and occasionally appears to freak out the commander. I also tend to dislike the idea that this manga has a perfectly happy afterlife because it cheapens the goal they're fighting for and comes dangerously close to validating Reiner's attempt.

You should have given a choice of this is symbolic. Ya'll should really read more fiction if ya'll think this is really the afterlife ffs

Afterlife makes all the deaths useless and less impactful, hope it's not a thing.

All the Eldians have the ability to “stay” alive after they die thanks to the paths dimension.

All this suffering to get an afterlife?!?

Although I do think that an afterlife could be possible, I don't think it'll affect the story. It may come back during the epilogue, but I can't figure out how Isayama could use it for the main story plot.

Anything is possible, either it's Hange's own hallucinations or something real. Though i would like for it to be smth tangible, (esp since a clue was that Hange didn't know Shadis died but he appeared anyways). idk I'd just like for everyone to be happy and see each other again 😭

Beetroot alive in PATHS and he's gonna kill Eren

Being dead is happier than living in this world, such an uplifting moral Isayama

Both Hange and Erwin thought about their comrades and "saw" them when their role was weighing on them. I don't think I have nothing against it being real, but I like the symbolism. Some things are cooler when I don't overthink.

Perhaps it will be less edgy to see so much death if there is an afterlife in SnK, but use the opportunity well! For me it was a gift to see the veterans again: Moblit caring for Hange, Erwin being in peace, Mike being there after the impact that he gave us…

every time "ghosts" have been shown in attack on titan they've just been visual depictions of the character's mental state.

Everyone who begged to see Erwin in another chapter can finally be at peace

Expansion of what chapter 85 already implied

I don't care, I'm just happy we get to see our babies again.

I think it is some sort of a special place in paths because they are standing on where Hange died, that's really weird if if it's afterlife, if it's afterlife they should be in a paradise or a peaceful place, but no. It's weird if they are all ghosts like almost the survey corps are in that area

I think it means that every dead soldier have meaning and we shouldn't forget them

I think it shows that their deaths weren’t in vain and they are watching over their comrades. It was a truly moving scene.

I think it's symbolic. Honestly with all the discourse around this scene I am not sure if it was even worth it to include.

I don't believe she's dead. We have an unexplained memory shard of her without glasses (ch130) and one of the panels this chp looks like she lost her glasses.

if levi could hurry up and join them that´d be great

If Yams tries to pull a kny I'm gonna rip him a new one. This is bullshit and he should stop before people believe there is an afterlife in aot. This doesn't fit into the story he created for years. But he is willing to kill his own world in hopes to get some readers back from stealing smth from a way more successful manga. It's pathetic.

Im still in doubt if the afterlife scene really happened since erwin is still missing his arm while the others are just fine. I hope its all just in hange's head and that someone from the boat could rescue her.

It might be the Path. Because just like Eren Kruger said, "All Eldians is connected to what we say the coordinate." This maybe a paradise or a heaven that Eren or someone with the founding titan and royal blood can control.

It only serves to dramatize hange's death. No shit, I was crying like hell when I read this scene😭😭 other than that it's just like other deaths we've seen before, only to set a dramatic and brutal tone for a thriller series

The remaining of Hange blood in the floor indicates she/he was already dead,  so no hallucinations in her last moments. Symbolic? Doesn’t sound like isayama. The only symbolic stuff in manga concerns the cult to Ymir. Has to be a connection through paths.

They really gave their hearts to humanity, they were all incredible, and it's really nostalgic to see them in this way

This scene wasn't here for no reason. It just felt different from any other vision we've seen, and I believe it'll come into play later on.

This was Hange's imagination because she saw the dead ones in the same shape she saw them alive last time like Mike and Nanaba. Erwin too(without one hand)

those who died are finally set free

You just died and entered spectator mode

  FAVORITE PIECK MOMENT THIS CHAPTER? 1,601 responses

For a chapter not focused on Pieck plotwise, there sure were a lot of short moments with her.  The two most popular options being her shooting down Hange’s ask for a ride with no hesitation, and vowing to give her comrade’s sacrifices meaning.  A moment of meme and a moment of serious nature, perfectly balanced.

Idk but Pieck is a bad bitch

Pieck sounds like she may turn on everyone in the end but I hope not.

pieck finger = some kind of marleyan erwin smith

Pieck is gonna DIE 😭

Pieck isn't really interesting....and she doesnt do any Import to the others....Just for Reiner maybe

Pieck will sacrifice herself for the sake of her fallen comrades. (that's what I think)

  WHICH “FRINGE” THEORY DO YOU BELIEVE IN? 1,597 responses

Despite the manga racing towards its conclusion crack theorists have had no shortage of new material, most recently with the bizarre amount of focus given to birds and Hange’s warm welcome to the afterlife. We wanted to find out which of these fringe theories have a broader appeal.

Nearly half the fandom is no fun at all, selecting “These theories are all just cope” (49%). For the rest of us “Birds are spies” apparently requires the least amount of tin foil since just over a third of the fandom thinks it has potential (35.4%). “The ghosts are real” (16.7%), Historia’s pregnancy is fake (13.7%) and the “The birds ARE the ghosts” (8.7%) didn’t fare quite as well.

Overall a great chapter. But this whole Theory of there being an afterlife in Attack on Titan is utterly ridiculous and extreme coping.

The afterlife thing was completely garbage and was easily the worst part of the chapter.

I believe that afterlife exists. It has nothing to do with paths, titan powers or religions. It is just afterlife, where souls of dead soldiers may find a peace. The world of SnK was always "cruel but also beautiful". Cruel - because innocent people die, but beautiful - because there is still a hope for happiness for their souls.

the birds...work for the bourgeoisie

I hope it's all symbolism but these "dead people" motive have been weirdly often mentioned in the story. People asking Erwin if he thinks that "dead have no regrets" in season 1. Levi Ova called " No regrets". Erwin asking Levi if he thinks that dead are watching them in S.3. There is also role Valhalla plays in Ragnarok in Mythology...

I don’t think she’s ever been that stunned. 22.8% loved that one of Hange’s priorities was getting to ride the Cart Titan in the future, and Pieck not having it. 17.6% enjoyed Levi being the butt of a joke even as Hange was about to meet their doom, and 14.5% appreciated Levi throwing his fans a finger bone. Annie talking with Reiner about the good old days earned a laugh for 13.3% of you, and 3.5% liked seeing Levi throw shade at Yelena’s kinks.

For those of you still thinking this is a cookbook, it's obvious you're making soup for your souls. Tangy, Cheesy, Hot, Chile, and YAMS must be the dish that represents this chapter.

  WHAT ARE YOU MOST HOPING TO SEE NEXT CHAPTER? 1,634 responses

Are we actually about to see the final confrontation?! I can hardly believe it, but 48.6% of you are goddamn ready for it. 17.9% still want to see Historia’s own POV (what, weren’t you satisfied with that one convoluted flashback?), and 15.5% would like to see some kind of discussion before the alliance launches into an undoubtedly insanely reckless maneuver. Also, Zeke had better come back soon or I’ll forget to put him in the options again!

girl i wanna see eren with the alliance

Next chapter I hope to see Zeke, you didn't put the option

We really really need to see Historia. She's been missing from the narrative for so long, and the flashback crumbs from Eren's memories explained nothing.

Surprises ..!!! More of them...flashback about carl fritz ...zeke ...more about eren ...we wanna more important moments and facts

I'd like to know what happened with Zeke. Is he dead? Is he merged with Eren? Is he still back on paradis? What's going on?

Alright, where is Zeke? I've lost my patience.

  WHERE DO YOU PRIMARILY DISCUSS THE SERIES? 1,492 responses

Reddit maintains the lead this month, with just a few percentage points over Twitter, which takes second. A bit behind Twitter is “In real life”, which goes to show that Attack on Titan fans are total chads with social lives. Stay safe and don’t die though! After real life comes Discord, with 22.3% of the vote. Trailing Discord, in order, is Instagram, Youtube, “I don’t”, Facebook, 4Chan, the wiki, Snapchat, and Steam. Much to my dismay, this question was made multiple choice this month, which MEANS that, in theory, some of you could have ~erroneously~ voted Snapchat. Either that’s the case, or you lot are multiplying far faster than I’d anticipated… I’m going to elect to believe the former on account of not wanting to believe the latter.

What the fuck is doing the survey corps

where is that goddamn monke

WHERE IS THE MONKE

snkpolls admins please hold me

Floch with wet hair looks cool.

Glad to see yams isnt afraid to kill characters, I was getting worried.

I have a love/hate relationship with Floch, and while I disagree with the rumbling, his last words got to me and it was sad.

I honestly found Floch's death to be tragic, even though he was a bastard, he still believed he was fighting for Paradis's wellbeing

I laughed when random Floch appeared, but I hate that his actions lead to Hange deciding to sacrifice herself.

Even though the manga it's coming to an end Isayama really gives us details which is interesting in order to understand the storyline but I'd like more action

Even though we didn't see him this chapter, Hanji's sacrifice took me from "Eren must be stopped" to "I WILL strangle Eren to death with my own two hands". Dude's ground-breaking idea of rumbling got Hanji killed and he will pay for that.

Everything about this chapter was just so breathtaking. I Loved this chapter so much it was just amazing. Words can’t even describe how I feel. Only thing I didn’t like was floch shooting the plane. God answering these just makes me wanna cry.

Also Bert mentions! We're finally going to see him soon and have a long-awaited RB-union!

REALLY GLAD I FOUND AOT BEFORE IT ENDS , I wish Annie and armin ends up, and jean and mikasa 👀👀👀 dont judge me please. It really gave more insight on the feelings of the alliance now.

WHY ISAYAMA, WHY?!

Why no Bertholdt :(

Why no one is happy?

I feel like the fandom would've broken if only an Alliance member died, so to make things equal, we lost a Yeagerist and an Alliance member.

EREN IS A VILLAIN

FLOCH DID NOTHING WRONG

Listen. I couldn't stop crying, like UGLY sobs, from the moment Hange says they're gonna "do it" and then they become all "Armin Arlert" and "I hereby name you" and then I was DONE. Buckets of tears, squealing noises, repeating "no no no" while rereading the same panels over and over again. I Loved Hange. I loved them so much. They were THAT kind of weird, they were passionate, smart, funny... I loved them, but I love how they got to choose how to die, and when, and especially knowing their death will be useful for the others. They died fighting brilliantly, and I will love them, and they will inspire me forever. Farewell Hange, have a nice time in the afterlife with all your fallen comrades, knowing you can stand tall and proud among them.

No one can force Annie to stay. But I can't believe everyone's just fine with this. The world is fckin' ending and only by a miracle they can win, there's NO WAY those people are compromised to the gravity of the situation if they're all just "yeah, Annie is a titan and she's out, let's get the other titan too because he's a kid, Pieck I thought you were coming to the ship too?", because it really sounds like they're not even trying at this point. Is this a walk in the park or the destiny of all people in the world?? :/

Levi’s “see you later, Hange” reminds me of Mikasa’s “see you later, Eren” in the first chapter. A foreshadow of Eren’s eventual demise?

There still isn't a third realistic alternative.

Hange sacrifice was the greater good and I hope the alliance makes the most of this chance, For those they have lost. For those they can yet save

Hange knows their time is near and they are correct.

There was no need to kill off Hange, felt forced and rushed

this armin/annie stuff had better go somewhere plotwise after wasting cringy panels on it that could have been dedicated to less rushed interactions between other alliance members. might as well just kill the alliance off at this point and let reiner finally die, since their chapters are such a drop in quality.

This chapter and the previous two are perfect reminders that we're at the point of no return in the final arc. While I want to see some good moments, twists, and any loose ends tied by now (Zeke, WHERE ARE YOU?!!), it's all going to be all doom and gloom from here on out. Whether Eren or the Alliance succeeds depends on how these next chapters turn out; Whoever wins, bloodshed will continue until the Rumbling ends.

I realised Hange probably has huge survivors guilt and that she wanted to die, and wanted to make her old friends proud(who are dead)

They all really cared for Hange a lot and that's sweet.

They should have a concrete plan on how to stop eren if they could

Things are gonna get wild.

Great chapter, and I'm really excited to see how the Alliance and Eren confrontation plays out. This ending has the potential to be absolutely legendary.

Half of the characters have no hope in what they are doing (the "leaders") but do that because "ThEY hAD tO" and another half will makes me sad because they dont care about eren plan really (not speaking about gaby and falco)

Hange could have exited the story in another way, I guess.

Hange's death should have been more dramatic.

Hange's death was handles perfectly and the chapter had it's fair share of humour.

Hange's death was rushed, could've been better handled. Floch's selfless death was the only high point,  and maybe LH being semi-confirmed.

Honestly, I don't hate Hange but I wish she had lived to see the consequences of her betrayal of Paradis, by putting her own feelings and morals over her own people's wellfare; for better or worse, her actions will have huge repercussions on the entire island and she should be there to take responsibility over the inevitable fallout. Even though she never tried to avoid responsibility over her choices, and I genuinely respect her for sacrificing herself over her ideas, it honestly feels to me like death was an easy way out from having to deal with Paradis' fate (SPECIALLY if the Valhalla stuff is real) while leaving Armin to clean up her mess.

Levihan is real

i expected sex on the ship or aruani huge/kiss/touch

Honestly, I'm just following it because I got used to reading a chapter every month, but the story is terrible now. Hange's death only served to confirm that Isayama intends to have a 'final battle' between childhood friends, nothing unexpected.

hope we get more from Jean

Hope we now start going into the final confrontation cause this chapter seemed setup to that.

As I've said before, I'll miss Hange. RIP you absolute legend.

Hopefully we get to see historia

Hoping for more Hanji backstory.

I don’t need a heart to live

I don’t see how this story can have any sort of a happy ending

I dont see a possible ending where all these characters can live the rest of their lives in peace but oh well

This chapter dropped massive death flags on Armin and Pieck. These two aren't going to last. Yelena is probably dead from compartment syndrome next chapter.

This chapter honestly makes me more scared for Levi because I was hoping he would get the kind of ending that Hange got. Now we just have to wait and wonder about how much more pain Isayama is going to put him through.

ZEKE WHEN ?????? I MISS YOU

I’m frustrated with the direction the story is going in. Armin being made commander, Hange dying, Annie being brought back just to confess to Armin and then be sidelined, Mikasa being the one to kill Floch, it all just seems to make little narrative sense. I don’t feel like we’re building to a clever twist, it all feels capricious and random

After comparing Hange’s death in the manga to Erwin’s death in the manga, I can safely say that Hange’s death was better. Hange’s had comedy like her complaining about how hot the CTs were and of course that line she said to Pieck, it was sad with the Levi and Hange moments and the chapter’s conclusion, and it was epic with her killing 3-4 Colossal Titans, getting scorched to death and her dead body falling until she got trampled in the Rumbling. Erwin’s was just epic with bringing the entire Survey Corps going down with him. If Mappa does well with the anime, this will break the internet for sure and this death will be remembered.

bruh my favorite character just fucking died

It was a quick way for removing another veteran. I feel that the vets sacrifice their lives too easily. They see their own existance like it was some rpg game and they were going to go back to life after while. First Magath and Shadis decided to commit heroic suicide, now Hange decided to leave this world "just like that"/ C'mon, people don't give up with their lives so fast..

Oh, and this chapter made me start shipping levihan!

characters stop dying challenge

This and next chapter are the calm before the storm. And once that storm comes, this is going to end up as either a great story or a perfect story. Also, what the heck happened to Zeke? I need answers on that matter.

At this point the only way for this story to end in a satisfying manner is for Eren to kill everyone, successfully finish the Rumbling and save his people.

Aún estoy llorando.

I feel Hange should have been given more space to make a bigger impact as a commander. It’s like, Erwin always made gambles that magically worked out for him in the grand scheme of things (for the most part and in a group with a horrible survival rate like the SC no less) but for whatever reason Hange just stuck their thumb up their butt and twirled the whole time. Sometimes making one character smart results in everyone else only being allowed to have one shared brain cell. Overall I liked Hange a lot but they were done dirty. And blaming Eren for everything? Lol Hange. You can put your clown nose on now.

Overall best leader? Jean. Best leader for this particular set of circumstances? Armin.

I can't wait until the Alliance realize their futile efforts and come face to face with the reality that, Eren has power over the memories of all subjects of Ymir and can control their titan shifting.

Isayama just want to kill everyone,isn't he? In every chapter we've got deaths this is just depressing. Isayama I respect you but I hate you but I respect you but I hate you.

I cried buckets while reading it, so props to Isayama for that! :)

I cried when Floch died and I laughed when Hange died .

I don't have words for that. I am just lucky enough to be able to witness this  work while

Pain. So much pain. Levihan pain. Aruani pain... *cries for a week while preparing self for more tears in the near future*

i just want everyone to be friends again😭

Jean has not been about stopping Eren from the get-go. I think we are up for a MAJOR revelation about his own involvement in Eren’s plans.

Hange should be survived

Hange should've not died in this chapter since we still do not know the clear plan of the alliance. Their death was written in a hurry, not as epic as Erwin.

Hange was my favorite character. But, as much as I am sad to see her go, her last moments were pretty epic, I am looking forward to see how it will affect the rest of the story.

Hange wasn't a good commander no matter how much her fans cry about it. her being a good character is another thing altogether.

My babies Yelena, Pieck, Reiner, Gabi, and Falco deserve the world.

Hange's manner of death, in her own terms fighting to save others, is my favorite so far.

Hanji death was unnecessary and Floch death only made Allience look worse then they already are

0/10 no Zeke

Jean is the only one who undestands eren and Floch

Jean never really supported the Alliance, he will try to reason Eren's plan isn't all that bad.

Jean will see Flochs words as a possible option but i dont see him going through with opposing The Alliance. He made his choice when he joined them.

(THE DEAD SPEAK LMAOOO) I really liked this chapter but it’s still horrible and traumatizing like the 131 (wait actually the 131 is way more horrible 😭)

Amazing art as always.

Amazing yet sad chapter since I respected both hange and falco and to see them die was pretty sad.

ANNIE AND ARMIN FOREVER. I want her to be free to be soft and caring and to have someone who loves and adores her. I love this dynamic and I think it’s a good foil to Eren and Historia

ANNIE IS THE BEST GIRL!

I want Reiner to live on as the clinically depressed sole survivor.

i’m still broken. hange and sasha were my comfort characters✌🏻😭

Idc but your quiz suck

Idk its just i'm pretty sad about hange's death cuz she was one oof my top waifus

One of my favorites ✊😔 rip Hange

One ship. I just want ONE CANON SHIP by the end of this, Isayama. JUST ONE. Is it really too much to ask, man. I've already given you plenty of my tears to sip on so idk what more you want from me...

Only Armin, Mikasa, Levi and Reiner will survive.

OUCH

Please stop making Levi suffer be it a final rest or a peaceful life anything PLEASE

Please, don't let anyone else die :(

Plot wise it was shit, but I love it for the drama

POGGERS

Poor Levi. Everyone important to him was taken away. Also, HANGE GOAT.

Poor Reiner.

rest in peace Hange "nonbinary icon" Zoe

rest in peace king, now is in Eren hand to keep giving meaning to your life

Really was good. Hange went out in a great way.

Surprised Floch didn't end up killing anyone, especially no named engineers, Yelena or Connie.

The way Mikasa shot the grappling hook at Floch’s throat was like how Levi killed an MP by shooting their throat during Uprising. Ackermans can access the battle experience of other Ackermans through Paths – Mikasa learnt that move from Levi.

I would think that this chapter should have gotten into more interactions between Armin and Annie, because i feel as though their relationship should be explored a bit further. Given that we know that both do like each other, it should be seen on how these two handled their possibly last goodbyes.

I'm just gonna let it flow

I'M NEVER GETTING OVER HANJI'S DEATH

Hange is one of the most well-written characters of a manga abounding with them. I love the way they always stayed true to their ideals without wavering, despite all their doubts about their suitability as Commander. Their open-mindedness, humour and love for knowledge make them truly special, and their most quintessential line must be this one from chapter 127: "'Just bringing freedom to this island is enough for me'. Do you think a single one of [the dead Survey Corps] would be so narrow-minded as to say that?" Chills. Very glad they chose Armin as their successor as well before taking down the colossals. They will be missed.

I'm quite curious about Armin's next moves. He is the commander now after all. Also, wondering what Levi is going to do now.

I'm really curious about the weapon that Yelena brought up to the alliance

i get the feeling that annie has had all the closure she needs and she’s gonna die but at least she might pass on her power to gabi ? either way i’ll be devastated to see her go

I HATE it that Hanji had to die, but loved the way she got her heroic moment. It's a love/hate chapter for me.

I have fears of Annie to die

I hope Levi lives just so he can be the most tragic character in AOT.

I hope soon, eren can stop all of this thing

I it wasn’t for the spoilers, Hange’s death would have break my heart.

I just hope Levi found his peace and die, please. He's already lost Hange, please don't make him suffering more.

I just thought it was impressive that this was one of the three moments in the whole story that actually made me ugly cry (Other two were Hannes' death and Serumbowl)

The more i think on Hanges death the more i like/understand it.

The sad looks on Levi and Hanji's faces are enough to say thousands of unspoken words. Nuff said.

Reiner is immortal

reiner looked hot af

This beast of a man, how many hours did he spend nearly drowning with a wounded arm? I got to really care about him even if his ""political"" choice was the worst. I just wanted him to have a dignified end and he had (even if Jean wasn't the one to do it). And the vignette... Perfect. In the end, he really fought as the devil he needed so much, no matter their identity. Relax, honey. Now you're safe from Eren's bullshit.

i miss hanji

I need HISTORIAAAA

I need more PATHS and I smell it coming

...i´m tired.

The Survey Corps never actually fought for humanity prior to the Rumbling, only against it. Hange even states this irony in chapter 89. The "well, the Corps was always fighting for humanity" rationalization is just disingenuous cope that ignores everything that got revealed with the basement and, by extension, the plot itself.

Super based

I really just want to see how this ends already.

I still can't believe Hange died. And to think that Levi's got no one else in his life anymore breaks my heart. I've always think that Levi and Hange should be together until the end. Not shipping them tho. I don't if it's platonic or romantic,but they love and care for each other. And Levi realising that his only friend is going to die and his eyes turn dark like an abyss really makes me feel like broken in half. And that dedicate your heart scene..oh my god I can't. And Hange still got some nerves to joke around at time really made me goes "HANGEEE-SANN!!"༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

Floch's final moments were sorely needed to remind us just how human he really is. He didn't care about ruling the country or destroying the alliance. All he wanted was for his people and the island to survive, and he felt the alliance was putting that in jeopardy so he did what he thought he had to do.

Isayama keeps killing my favorite characters

I liked the chapter but it felt unnecessary Floch probably should have died before the boat left and Hange was killed off to lighten the cast and make Armin commander.  Hange and Levi probably could have died/stayed in the forest.

R.I.P. in horny titan jail

I like this manga. Very much so ❤

[insideout-pretzel]

Haikyuu Boys if they played different Sports

If they didn’t do volleyball, what sports would they do?

Nishinoya Yuu

He’s a gymnast

Pretty self explanatory

Vaulter

Hit and go

He’s probably screamed Rolling Thunder when he’s vaulted a few times

He can also do all those crazy flips

Can’t focus on the rings

You know how men scream after their routines? And they go ‘YEAAAAHHH!’ In a deep manly voice?

He’s like that

Kageyama Tobio

Swimmer

NOT because he looks like Haru from Free

He’s the guy that’s wake up early in the morning to put himself through torture

Not that noisy during swive competitions like everyone else is, but when someone does a particularly good dive his eyes will widen and glow a bit

Yaku Morisuke

is a diver

Good at predicting things and acting on them

A diver is in short time period so he’d need to adapt to the situation

Plus he’s short so that’s an advantage

But don’t actually say he’s short or he’ll kick you

He ‘n Kags are mutual buddies from their Swive competitions

Tanaka Ryuunosuke

plays lacrosse

Contact sport

He’s obviously an attacker or a midfielder because of his strength

Gets into trouble for talking and has to run extra laps, but it’s okay because it benefits him

A tired Tanaka is usually a quiet Tanaka

Hinata Shoyo

does track and cross country

He’s fast, very fast

He can do all the relay races and is the smol but strong boi

tried to do pole vaulting but couldn’t get the pole part right

Definitely threw the discus the wrong way when trying to do the spin

Shimizu Kiyoko

fencing

I mean she did track and hurdles, but like

That’s so badass

Opponents underestimate her because she’s all pretty and shit but she’d kick your ass

Honestly this is me just being self indulgent

Aone Takanobu

he’s a wrestler

He’ll stare you down

Then back it up

I feel like he has a hard head too, so once someone tried to headbutt him and it failed tanjiro??

He knows several great take down techniques, and since he’s big he can easily get on one knee, grab someone around their legs and throw them over his shoulder before slamming/pinning them to the ground

Sawamura Daichi

he’d be good at pool

Patience, good aim

Dunno if it’s his official sport

However he’s certainly good at it and loves to play it with his fiends

He played it at a pub with Asahi and Suga once, and he won and also beat a few other fools that challenged him

Rumor has it that they’ve never returned to that bar since

Kozume Kenma

Does Virtual reality competitions

Probably good at XBox Sports

Bruh the bowling on XBox is fire

OR

He’s a coxen for a crew team

Wears a Snuggie

He’s smart about when to push it and when to not

He can tell who’s struggling and who’s doing well

He’s serious and blunt about what he does, but the coxen is the brain of the boat

His crew team is a bunch of big buff tall guys, but they’re super protective of him

whotfjusttouchedourcoxen

Tsukishima Kei

Golf

It’s quiet

No loud annoyances or idiots

No cheering or confetti

He’s also taller than all the other golfers but whatever

Probably has different colored gold balls he likes to use

Akiteru draws smiley faces on them and it pisses Tsukki off to no ends

Yamaguchi Tadashi

hi I love this boy

ultimate frisbee

He’s really good

Like seriously, he’s the one that serves the ball, so he’d obviously have good aim and be good at throwing and shit

Catching is another story, he’s gotten bonked in the nose many times

Poor yams

alisa teaching lev incorrect russian phrases

a certain groupchat im in with so many beautiful people has brought this idea to my attention. most definitely something i canon abt the two siblings now, i totally see it. 

special thanks to: @sarido275​ for this idea!! i love this so much and i hope this meets your expectations- 

warnings: swearing, a fight btwn siblings, also this is relatively long for a hc so brace yourself

genre: crack, fluff, angst? if you squint-

synopsis: lev’s (gorgeoues, beautiful, pretty, amazing, cute) sister, alisa, teaches lev russian phrases... except its all backwards...  

i used a couple websites: a b 

a/n: im writing a longer oneshot (haechan x reader) so this is something ive been working on, on the side. i hope you like whatever the frick frack this is-  

if you have any requests, shoot them in my dms or ask box! if you have any constructive criticism, let me know what i can fix and how! thank you uwu

*breathes* okay, this is straight up crack, like 

i literally see this happening btwn the two siblings, where lev’s sister alisa ends up teaching lev russian phrases with the incorrect translations 

she’s such a sweetie pie i dont see her intentionally teaching lev the incorrect translations for stuff- so yes,

with the power of google and tumblr i present to you: lev walking around like an idiot :) (i love him v much tho and hes baby all the way) 

okay lets start with the “basics” 

first off is хуй (pronounced: hooy), and it means dick 

omg i what am i writing 

okay so like, yaku probably does something nice for alisa (meaning he puts lev in check bc lev is stoopid)

and alisa decides to thank him like “you have such a big hooy yaku~~” 

and everyone on nekomas vbc team looks at the two siblings like ????? what did she just say 

and lev looks at her and she goes “hooy means heart!!” 

omfg not only lev, but all of nekoma is using this word now and its so bad bc they all say it so confidently whose gonna tell them- 

and like, whenever someone does anything remotely nice lev will tell them that they “have such a big hooy” and that they are so kind and that he appreciates them 

which ultimately, this term rubs off on karasuno and fukorodani (specifically hinata and bokuto) 

quite literally a term that spreads like wildfire and they all use it so mindlessly eye- 

okay, next term: Трахни тебя (pronounced: poshyol ty), and it means: fuck you (omg i hate writing swears bc lev is involved and he is BABY I CANNOT-) 

okay but alisa and lev are most likely parting ways early in the morning, and he is going to a summer week camp for vb practice (w the boys ayyy) omg i hate myself so much 

but like, she probably wants to say something along the lines of “i love you” but she ends up saying fuck you (dw, i checked and its the aggresive kind, no not the kinky aggresive just straight up like a screw you) pls i hate that im making this more awkward by the second 

okay but like, hes probably leaving in the morning and shes like “poshyol ty” and he kind turns back, confused look on his face 

and hes like “whats that mean????” and shes like, with a bright smile, “it means I LOVE YOU” and he repeats it a few times

and this poor bby uses this ALL the mcfreaking time now

yaku is abt to kick him? “pls stop poshyol ty” 

kuroo wants to give him shit for sucking at blocking? “im sorry but dont forget poshyol ty” 

omg KENMA WHEN HES MAD “kenma im so sorry youre the best pls poshyol ty” 

so it probably circulates around the team, and by now all of the nekoma vbc are using this on one another ALL the time

again, its something picked up by other teams 

i.e: bokuto to akaashi, hinata to kags, and it even reaches oikawa, who uses it on iwa, satori to ushijima (bye these r ships) 

but finally, poor alisa thought that by saying Отыебис от меныа (pronounced: otyebis ot menya) she was saying “your presence is nice” but in reality she was saying “get the fuck away from me” 

omg pls this is so terrible someone tell her-

but like anyways, when she says it so him, its when hes upset bc the whole team is upset at him bc he almost made the team lose

aka putting them at risk for his shitty blocking skills

and hes like “no one likes me, no one wants to be around me” 

and alisa is like: “hey, otyebis ot menya, and if its from me, they even appreciate you too :)”

and he asks her to explain the meaning to him and shes like “it means i appreciate your presence” 

and so he cheers up, and goes to practice the next day

and he apologises to everyone and then goes, “as much as i suck otyebis ot menya” 

like ????? and everyone appreciates it!! like >.< omg i hate this 

but in general, another phrase that spreads like wildfire!! 

at this point, everyone thinks hes a sweetheart (and dumbass) whos using loving terms with his team and friends!!

now, onto the “swear words” 

which, in reality, are words/phrases with positive meanings :( 

ah i really hope someone tells everyone wassup w these terms

but, lets start w this beautiful term: Я верю в тебя (pronounced: ya veryu v tebya)

this means: i believe in you (and reader, i believe in you, you can do anything you put your mind as long as it doesnt harm you or anyone)

but anyways, this is probably a term that slips out during a fight btwn the two siblings

is it weird that i cant imagine them fighting often, or at all- 

okay anyways, back to the hc

theyre probably fighting about how lev left his dirty laundry in the br after the shower, or how he left his dishes on the dining table and how he isnt necessarily cleaning up after himself

and shes tired of it, so she starts yelling at him

and shes like “oh my god! youre so useless! veryu v tebya” 

and he kinda stops saying anything back and stares at her c o n f u s e d

and shes like ?? whatre you looking so lost for

and hes like, what does that mean

and shes like, it means that you arent capable of anything. 

so this poor boy thinks that the term “i believe in you” now means “you arent capable of anything” 

when kenma, kuroo, and yaku treat him a little meaner on a bad day, he’ll be sure to mumble it under his breathe

when he blocks hinata’s spike, hes sure to yell it out proudly, and everyone kinda is like ???? 

and so he explains what it means, and 

hinata isnt phased by the fact that lev just called him incapable bc poor bby got to learn another russian phrase 

and then kenma puts two and two together and realizes what levs been calling him

*insert a mad kenma* 

*insert a mad kuroo*

*insert a mad yaku* 

okay but srsly the whole nekoma vbc starts using this term to clown lev when he messes up!!

in reality, everyones the clown bc theyre using the wrong term altogether

another term lev would learn from alisa, would be Мой милый ангел (pronounced: moy miliy angel) 

and what alisa thinks it means is : you are not an angel/youre a fallen angel/youre the devil 

bc like some languages dont have a term for something, so they use another term and then the word not in front of it, so alisa assumes thats what it is 

so she just assumes this word is something to call someone a devil or basically imply theyre a bad person 

this term slips out from alisa, when someone says a comment about lev during a game, 

ooooo lets say the nekoma vs. nohebi game to make it to nationals 

and someone says something along the lines of lev being a terrible blocker

from across the court

and out of nowhere 

alisa is like “hes better than you! moy miliy angel” 

poor bby thought she was defending her brother

okay she was but still- 

you know what i mean 

but anyways, everyone looks at her 

and she just shrugs it off bc she doesnt owe anyone an explanation

but after the game, yaku’s younger sister brings it up in front of them

and she explains to everyone that it means a devil 

and theyre all like ?? 

alisa saying something mean- this is new

but in her defense it was bc she was standing up for her brother

as she should- 

but on a real note, lev adopts this term to roast people during plays and makes them confused hehehe their faces r funny bc they get so lost and bam nekoma scores

a term that kageyama adopts

he expands his vocab when hes mad at hinata from boke, to boke and moy miliy angel 

tanaka probably uses this term on people who piss him off

imagine him saying it w his buddha face LMAO

but lastly, a term that lev would learn from alisa is Радость моя

this term is pronounced as radost moya

it means “my joy” 

so, when alisa is stressing over something (maybe hw, maybe over the fact that lev keeps making a fool of himself in front of yakus sister) 

she’s like muttering under her breath, 

“this is gonna be the death of me, ugh why is this radost moya“ 

like LMAO she thinks this term means terrible, or my bad luck

no sweetie its the opposite

its just so funny, lev hears her and she explains the term

so he begins to use it all the time

and i mean ALL THE TIME

when he cant block? radost moya. when someone reminds him that he isnt the ace? radost moya. 

so, when bokuto is in emo mode, lev is like radost moya, its just bl (ha if your mind went to boy-) bad luck

and bokuto is immediately out of his emo mode bc he is LEARNING a new term from his fave russian teacher uwu

but again, a term that spreads like wild fire

this is what kags calls hinata, iwa to oikawa, and semi to shirabu

overall, alisa teaching lev incorrect russian phrases, is lev teaching the whole of anyone who plays volleyball ever incorrect russian phrases

these humans look like straight up clowns 

i CaNnOt emphasize how dumb they look- 

basically just becomes a crack fest

bonus (kinda-): 

lev, kenma, kuroo, tsuki, kags, akaashi, bokuto, yams, and yaku all went to the fish market one day

they all witness kuroo, bokuto, lev and hinata do something stupid with their shared one brain cell

so, naturally, the others flame them in russian

and someone nearby is like 

“aww its so sweet you believe them,, your friendship is so cute“

queue the whole crew (ugh i hate that term but its better than squad) turning to look towards lev 

and BAM they all start asking this random person for translations on stuff

they all look so shocked and mad and sad

*insert a mad kenma*

*insert tsuki mocking everyone*

just funNy stuff hahahaha

okay imma head out bc wtf did i just write-

Your POV

“First of all, you guys can’t be wearing any of our letters. y/n especially, you can’t be wearing your sigma phi hoodie. Jinhee can probably detect it from a mile away if she doesn’t already have prior tunnel vision for Yoongi. Wear basic clothes and keep your looks incognito, because everyone’s curious how these dumbasses are going to finally get together.” Seokjin paced around the meeting room in the student center, the other boys of Beta Tau and you looking how Seokjin was rambling.

Hoseok was the first to stand up, his arm sliding around his flatmate’s shoulder. “Hey, Seokjin hyung, you good?” Seokjin looked clearly distraught about his two friends, nodding weakly.

“Yeah, this has just been a long time coming and now that it’s finally happening, I’m so nervous. What if they don’t actually like each other? I literally watched them kiss and I don’t know if they like each other.” Seokjin rambled on once more. Taehyung stood up as well, pulling Seokjin into a hug.

“It’ll be alright, Big!” Taehyung beamed brightly at Seokjin, which cheered up Seokjin instantly. “Besides, you should know the best about those two getting together, considering you’re so close to them!” Taehyung nodded. Seokjin hummed in agreement, sighing.

“Taehyung’s right. They should be getting to the cafe soon, shouldn’t they? We should get going.” Namjoon stood up, extending a hand to you so you could get up. You cursed a little to yourself while getting up, almost stumbling over. The president held you steady before Jungkook and you went back to your dorm to change into something more lowkey. You all agreed to go to the cafe in small groups, in order to not attract attention by being a large group of particularly loud college students.

--

Thanks, Nature Cafe was always some sorta safe place for Jinhee and Seokjin to meet up on weekends when Jinhee wanted to go study, not only for the aesthetic, but also for the sheep there. The sheep in addition to the cafe was only a bonus to the two, the two of them only finding out about the sheep after visiting the cafe in real life. The first time the two went there, Seokjin had to physically drag Jinhee away from the sheep, Jinhee sobbing uncontrollably about how cute the sheep were.

It wasn’t abnormal for them to stay late, but they almost never went to the cafe on weekdays, and Seokjin never paid for Jinhee at cafes. To say Jinhee was a little confused was an understatement, but nonetheless, the offer of free food? She could never refuse that.

She opened the door to the cafe, the owners greeting her and immediately recognizing her when she walked in. She gave them a small greeting back, shrugging off her windbreaker and taking out her earbuds before setting her backpack down at the back corner of the cafe where her and Seokjin usually sat down at.

Jinhee checked her phone once more for any texts from Seokjin, biting her lip. She thought Seokjin would be at the cafe by the time she had arrived, that was usually the case if he invited her out to the cafe. She sighed, pursing her lips before looking at the planner on her phone once more. She had to write a paper for her music history class, so she decided she would work on that first and order a purple yam latte and whenever Seokjin would come in, she’d force him to buy him everything that had the word “matcha” in it. She took out her laptop and her card, going up to the counter to order her latte. She was lost in thought that she didn’t hear the doorbell ring, and a familiar voice call out her name.

“Jinhee? What are you doing here?” Yoongi tapped her shoulder, almost immediately spotting the singer in the line because of her bright -- dyed in an ombré of purple -- hair. She flinched, calming down immediately when she saw him.

“Oh, hi Yoongi!” She smiled at him, giving him a shy smile. “Well, me and Seokjinie were gonna study here, but I guess he’s running late, so I was just gonna order something before he came…” Jinhee pursed her lips. She got to the front of the line, asking for a purple yam latte and quickly swiping her card. Yoongi furrowed his brows, following suit and ordering an iced americano after she was done.

“That’s funny, because Seokjin invited me out to this cafe too—“ Yoongi’s conversation was cut short when he heard her text tone go off, a customized “HEY STOB IT” set by Seokjin and meant that someone had texted her, as well as the small default ding! from Yoongi’s phone. The both of them pulled out their phones, checking the little group chat that Seokjin had set for them.

Have fun on your date, you two ♡

Jinhee’s face went red, looking up at Yoongi, who’s ears were only tinted a light pink. The both of their drinks came out, the barista cooing.

“Aw, you two look nervous, have fun on your date, you two!” The barista smiled, leaving them to walk back to the seat where Jinhee had placed down her stuff. The two of them sat down, Jinhee’s hands cupping her iced latte while Yoongi’s cup was a little off to the side, his hands free.

“Ah, seriously…” Jinhee laughed nervously, suddenly anxious in the situation that Seokjin had placed her in. Yoongi only smiled at the younger one, reaching over and sliding his hands over the ones that were nervously picking at the cup’s sleeve.

“A date, huh?” Yoongi smiled, his thumb circling the junction between her index and thumb. He felt the girl relax under his touch, a giggle bubbling from her. “Well, miss Jinhee, is there anything about me you’d like to know that Seokjin hasn’t already exposed about me or that I haven’t told you myself?” Yoongi smiled softly at her, the younger one grinning back at him.

“Hm? Seokjinie likes to keep your information secret, maybe he was saving it for you to tell me when we go out or something.” Jinhee giggled, one of her hands going to cover her laugh while the other one slowly clasped his hand in hers. Their fingers intertwined, her hand squeezing his gently. “Let’s start off with the first one, why did it take us so long to go out on a date? You even kissed me! Twice!” Jinhee whined, Yoongi’s laugh melodious in her ears.

“Well, technically, it was only one kiss, the one at the concert was an accident…” Yoongi nervously scratched at his neck. Jinhee softened under his gaze, pulling away to drink her latte. She hummed softly, her eyes trailing to study Yoongi’s features. Even if he was known for dyeing his hair an awful lot as well, he was giving it a break by dyeing it to a brown for the last stretch of the semester, but nonetheless his hair looked soft and she just wanted to run her fingers through his hair.

The two were so engrossed in their date, which went back and forth from the two of them working on her music history paper and the two of them just learning more about each other, that they couldn’t hear the other people coming into the cafe.

“Oppa can we go see the sheep outside?”

“Shh, y/n you’re gonna blow our cover!” Jimin hissed at you, tugging the bill of your hat down more. You huffed, munching at the berry waffles Seokjin had bought you so that they wouldn’t get kicked out of the cafe. You peeked up to watch the couple in question, raising an eyebrow at them.

“What’s on your mind?” Kevin slid into the booth with you and Jimin, sipping from his own iced peach tea. You frowned, leaning onto your best friend as you chewed slowly, looking at the two.

“I can’t believe unnie really held out that long.” You joked, laughing a little. “They look so happy, like he makes her as happy as Seokjin oppa does but jesus, I didn’t think they’d take this long to get together.”

“y/n, they’re both queer as fuck, it’s just a natural process for them to live in constant fear of making the first move.” Kevin laughed softly, looking up to see if he was caught by anyone. “Seriously, case in point, if Tae wasn’t drunk that night he confessed to me, we wouldn’t be together right now.”

You two both laughed at that statement, looking at the rest of your crew. Seokjin and Jungkook were seated closely to where the date was happening, and everything from both ends seemed to go smoothly. You stood up, nudging Kevin and gesturing to the sheep, looking at him with puppy dog eyes as a silent plea to go see the sheep. Kevin, more forgiving than under the strict hand of Jimin, willingly went over to the sheep with you.

“When do you wanna go?” Yoongi looked up from her computer, Jinhee looking up from her planner. Jinhee pursed her lips, humming and tilting her head side to side.

“Hm, I guess we can go after you’re done revising the new things? I honestly chose the topic of George Gershwin because singing in Porgy and Bess made me super knowledgeable about him but it’s such a blessing that you know so much about him too from a non-vocalist perspective.” Jinhee joked, smiling at Yoongi. Yoongi smiled softly back, his heart stopping momentarily at her smile. He finished up the task at hand, pushing her laptop back to her after gently closing the top. The two of them began to pack up, Yoongi only needing to put his jacket on and helping out Jinhee with putting her things away in her bag.

“Too bad Seokjinie never actually showed up, he owes me big time…” Jinhee giggled, standing up and putting the last of her stuff in her bag. As if Seokjin had heard her, she looked down at her phone to a Venmo notification from the said man, her face going bright red at the memo line before hiding it from Yoongi by shoving her phone back in her bag.

“Anywhere you had in mind to go after this? I was thinking we could just walk around and find places to chill if it isn’t too much.” Yoongi held out his hand while Jinhee pulled on her backpack. As if on instinct, her fingers laced with his, her hand gently squeezing his while they walked out onto the streets. They continued to talk about the music program, although Yoongi had a different concentration from her, the curriculum seemed to overlap between the two.

“Mr. Park for jazz theory is rough, but he’s a good guy. I think I understand jazz a little better now, but it’s so hard after my head’s been in classical theory for so long.” Yoongi reflected as they made their way to a park nearby. Jinhee only laughed at his comment, shaking her head.

“God, jazz is such a different playing field. Back in high school I had to take a jazz class and I couldn’t even improv for 2 measures on G minor. That was me playing an instrument, though. I think I’d be worse scatting.” She sighed, the both of them stopping at a small pavilion in front of a lily pond. Yoongi gestured for her to sit down, following suit soon after she had sat down.

“I heard the kiddo is good at scat, maybe if we go out on a double date with him and y/n you can learn through osmosis.” Yoongi chuckled, Jinhee raising an eyebrow before scooting as close to Yoongi as possible.

“A double date already, Yoongi? Aren’t you getting a bit too ahead of yourself?” Jinhee teased, Yoongi smirking before he tilted the singer’s head up to make eye contact with him.

“Not like I’ve been fantasizing dates with you all semester or anything, maybe even longer but who’s even keeping track?” Yoongi chuckled, leaning in slowly for a kiss and giving Jinhee a chance to pull back. Their lips almost meet in a slow kiss, but before they could kiss, they hear a scream that seems a bit too familiar.

“THIS DRAGONFLY LITERALLY JUST RAN INTO MY FACE OH MY GOD GET IT OFF!!!” The scream seemed to echo through the park, snapping the musicians out of their little bubble. Jinhee’s brows furrowed, pulling away from Yoongi.

“That definitely sounded like Hoseokie, didn’t it?” Jinhee wondered aloud, Yoongi nooding. The two of them got up from the tiny pavilion, walking around to pinpoint the sound.

“ABORT MISSION WE’RE YEETING OUT OF HERE—“ Hoseok continued to yell, tripping on the grass and emerging from behind a nearby tree. The action didn’t go unnoticed by Yoongi, the older one immediately going over to Hoseok and pulling him up.

“Hoseok?? Where’d you go—“ Seokjin removed his sunglasses to see Jinhee looking at him in disbelief, furrowing her brows. The younger one opened her mouth to say something, but then closed her mouth and then sighed.

“... Who else is here?” You, Jungkook, and Kevin peeked out from behind the shared newspaper at the bench nearby, laughing nervously.

“Jimin, Tae, and Joon are on their way, we just wanted to make it less conspicuous because it would be easy to point out a group of eight.” Seokjin confessed, the singer crossing her arms. “To be fair, you two didn’t know we were following you two till Hoseok yelled.” The eldest made his last remark, a facepalm echoing from nearby (which was probably Kevin).

“You know what time it is? I think our res at Mosu is soon.” Yoongi slid up next to Jinhee, the younger one caught by surprise by both the restaurant name and Yoongi’s action. He winked at her, the younger one catching on and her mood making a complete 180.

“Suddenly, I don’t remember about Jinie’s tomfoolery. We’re gonna go now byebye!” Jinhee dismissed the others quickly, bolting off with Yoongi to the restaurant. Taehyung slung an arm around his dumbfounded big, a grin on his face as the rest of them watched new couple go.

“See biggie, nothing to worry about!”

[kreacts]

Seventeen as Haikyuu!! Characters.

S.Coups - Daichi

Papa Coups & Dadchi, this comparison was impossible to not make. Both have very gentle, strong natures that allow them to be wonderful leaders but behind that is deep caring and love for their crews and a slight dorkiness that captures everyone's hearts. They both have that sexy vibe (*cough*daddy*cough*), and of course they are both super sporty (I know its a sports anime, but they both have them thighs, so you know what I mean)

Jeonghan - Oikawa

Both make the initial impression of being absolutely stunning, but don’t let that fool you. Both are people who love to get their own way, and they are more than a little manipulative of the people around. They are both very dedicated to their careers and they work hard to be the best. Both love knowing they are loved (Dino nugu aegi?) and they seem to thrive on it.

Joshua - Suga

Both seem to be the peace makers of their groups, they have a very peaceful aura about them and they seem to calm situations. They are both very charismatic and everyone seems to love them, and they are natural leaders who can guide a group to a goal. They are both very talented but somewhat underrated, but they seem to be happy to take a backseat and provide support when it’s needed.

Jun - Ennoshita

In the exact same way people seem to forget about Ennoshita, poor Jun is always being blocked by those logos. Both have a more chilled, laid back kind of energy and so you don’t always notice them at first. Ennoshita doesn’t play often, and we all know Jun isn’t getting all the lines he deserves (and yes I am bitter about it) but when they DO come forward you can bet everyone is screaming and cheering and routing for them to be amazing!

Hoshi - Nishinoya

H y p e boys with 10/10 energy, enough to fuel their whole team. Both are ESSENTIAL members of their team, Noya being the Guardian of Karasuno and Hoshi being the choreographer of a lot of their dances. They are both older members of their team who act like they’re younger. Both seem to be full of endless positivity, and their enthusiasm boosts their whole team and amps them up. I can also totally see Hoshi screaming if Dino complimented him, then taking him for ice cream.

Wonwoo - Tsukishima

Both of these boys initially come off as quiet, sassy string beans but we all know beneath that is a lot of squish (Wonwoo in general, and Tsukki with his dinosaurs and Yams). Both are known for not reacting emotionally to things, and both are confident in themselves. Both are also super important to their teams- Tsukki is a blocking genius and Wonwoo has a unique and lovely voice.

Woozi - Kenma

There are so many similarities between these two, I don’t know where to start. Obviously, they are both smol and totally cute (something neither of them seem thrilled about. I mean. Just look at their faces) and they both make everyone who sees them say “aww!” and call them cute. But both are very lowkey and are happy to not have attention on them. Woozi is the genius who writes Seventeen’s songs, and Kenma is his teams genius setter. They both have killer sassy/unimpressed faces.

DK - Asahi

(I didn’t realise how similar they looked until I put these photos together lmao) Ok so!! Both are such gentle giants with dark hair. They both are so caring and kind and absolutely everyone loves them and wants to protect them. Both seem to take it upon themselves to make others happy- DK jokes around and acts like an idiot, whilst Asahi places immense pressure on himself to be an amazing ace. Both are also super!!! talented!!! Asahi with his amazing spikes and DK with his wonderful high voice.

Mingyu - Kurro

Both tall. Both devilishly handsome. Both gotta stop it. Both of these guys are super charismatic, their personalities are infectious and kinda goofy. They mess around, make jokes and make people laugh. They are also both pretty soft. Kurro loves Kenma more than most things, and Mingyu is like a mom in Seventeen who takes care of the other members. Also lets not forget MingyuxWonwoo and KurroxTsukki, they both have some strong bromances.

The8 - Kageyama

Both are super talented and blow people away with their skills. Initially, they might both seem a little... unapproachable? They don’t spend all of their time smiling, I’d say. But both are actually pretty soft (Kags with Hinata and The8 with Jun). They both work really hard at their skills, and both are perfectly sassy and lovable. 

Seungkwan - Bokuto

H Y P E Both of these guys are loud, expressive and totally dramatic. We’ve seen Seungkwan’s explosions- “What are you doing?” “Kimbap be kidding” “Oh- so genius!” and obviously Bokuto is just a loud fellow. Both are also super enthusiastic about what they love, Seungkwan is loud and crazy when singing and dancing and Bokuto is loud and enthusiastic about vollyball. (Can anyone else totally see Bokuto running around the gym screaming “Jasmine!” and grabbing the other members?)

Vernon - Lev

Both of these guys are totally different to how they first appear. At first Lev seems cold, tall, scary and intimidating but in fact he is a giant toll who loves kittens and is clumsy and awkward. Whilst Vernon seems like a total fuckboy but he is actually a youthful meme. Both are actually totally goofy and silly and kind with their friends, and both are pretty cuddly guys.

Dino - Hinata

Both young, smol and totally enthusiastic. AND SUPER FREAKING CUTE OH MY GOD (Im fine, it’s ok). Both have so much raw enthusiasm for what they love, so much so that they are willing to work unbelievably hard to achieve their goals. Dino is an amazing dancer and is always improving, and Hinata is totally ace material and he improves so much over the seasons. Also everyone just really loves them and wants them to do well, they turn everyone into proud mothers and fathers.

Omorfos Kosmo | Haikyuu x Reader

Chapter 3 - A Tall Cat, Two Owls, and a Timid Crow "Oh, so one of those coins are only worth 1 mil in the NPC shops?" Kuroo asked as you guys walked back to the Karasuno guild. You nodded, and Tsukishima sighed, "They're only worth a lot because they're the only in game currency that can be used to exchange for game items that were previously only obtainable through paying real life yen." "I see," Sugawara nodded, "No wonder people are so desperate for them." "And you just gave one away," Kenma muttered. You shrugged, "I have enough to buy an entire skin set and a few more pets. Maybe even expand my inventories if I needed to." "Must be nice being such a high-ranked mercenary," Tsukishima added in. There was no sarcasm in his voice, only wistfulness and you pouted, "You don't even understand how hard it is sometimes." His golden orbs meet yours in a stare down, and Sugawara gently pats your shoulder while jabbing Tsukishima on the side. He turns to you, "But there must be some pros to it if you're so determined to hold up your reputation!" You appreciated him stopping Kei and you smiled, "Yup! I enjoy socializing with people, obtaining new information, and - of course - being able to travel and explore. It's so fun and you don't realize just how many quest lines there are. The plot in this game is so deep and the lore tied into it is amazing too."

Sugawara chuckled at how your eyes had burned passionately with life and mirth. The way you animatedly moved your hands as you talked about what was interesting about your mercenary life made you super happy and excited. Hinata walked behind you, and he frowned, "[L/N]-san."

You turned around, letting the others walk ahead as you stepped in pace with the orange haired male. And you asked, "What's up Hinata? Also, you can drop the honorifics, it's fine. I'm the same age as Kei anyways. I figure you're probably the same age as him too."

"Oi-" Tsukishima starts as soon as he hears you revealing personal information yet again and Hinata blinks, "Oh! Then we're the same age!" He brightly smiles and you return the gesture and he asks, "You mentioned your previous character, but I never recognized it."

"Ah, well, on the forums - if you lurk there that is - I was often called Saké. That's the game name I normally used, but wasn't allowed to use it because of the acute mark," you explained, although Hinata seemed to not understand the last part, but he nodded. He had heard of you before and he asked, "Weren't you some... well known, what was the term. Uhm..." he rubs his chin and scratches his head, clearly confused still and he goes, "Oh! A Broke Info!"

You blink a few times and then burst into laughter and Kenma sighed, "It's Info Broker, Shouyou."

"Oh," Hinata flushed red and you were trying your best to reign in your laughter and you shook your head slightly while still holding your stomach. He pouted at you and you chuckled, "I'm so sorry Hinata. That was- That was brilliant," you snicker slightly and nod, "Yeah, I knew," you paused, "I mean, I still do know. I know all the AI's of the bosses, but for all I know, they probably changed recently due to this new update."

"Ooh," Hinata nodded, and then his eyes widened, "Wait. YOU MEMORIZED ALL OF THEM?!"

"Well yeah," you shrugged, "When you play the game often enough and run bosses almost every day, you end up memorizing them."

"Anyways, enough about me," you wave your hand in the air, as though brushing the questions away, "I thought you guys were going to head back to the guild hall?"

"We need to pick up a few members first," Kuroo explained and Daichi sighed, "You mean, you guys do."

"Hey! The more the merrier, right Kenma?" Kuroo smirked and Kenma ignored the black cat and he turned to you, the liquid gold of his gaze falling upon you and you tilted your head, waiting for the inevitable question.

"What are you going to do now [L/N]?" Kenma asked.

"I have jobs to handle," you answered. A soft sigh escapes your lips and you continue, "I can hear the sound of my bank cheering as gold flows in."

Kenma shook his head and he muttered, "Of course."

"Hey! I need to gather information too," you retorted, and a pout forms on your lips, "I can't do this without people taking me out to raids, it's much easier being invited to one than forming one."

"Of course, cause they most likely made the plan knowing you'd accept the role of their main support."

"But of course!" you laugh and then turned to Hinata, "I'd love to escort you all the way back, but now that we're at the Town Square, I'm gonna go meet up with my new client. Good luck on everything Hinata! Don't be a stranger!"

You waved good bye to the crew as you separated from them and Hinata's face lit up, and he cried out, "[L/N] added me as a friend!"

"Huh, that's a first, she never adds people." Tsukishima quietly commented mostly to himself. His gaze followed your back momentarily and blinked when he saw a familiar freckled boy in a similar fashioned outfit to his own and he cleared his throat, "Yamaguchi!"

ID: Yams Main: Mage Level: 67 - Exp 23/100% Guild: Karasuno Fun fact: Yamaguchi chose to be a mage to follow Tsukki, but soon grew to be able to hold his own grown as a DPS mage.

The shorter dark olive haired boy looked up, his eyes shining as soon as he spotted his guild members and he jogged over.

"Tsukki! Daichi-san! Suga-san! Ennoshita-san! Hinata!" he greeted brightly and he said, "I was just heading to the guild hall!"

"Where'd you come from? You look out of breath Yamaguchi," Hinata said as he greeted the boy with a soft pat on the shoulder. Yamaguchi scratched the side of his cheek with a finger and he shyly smiled, "I helped a group of newer players get back to town safely actually.."

"But weren't you already in town?" Ennoshita asked. Yamaguchi nodded and he said, "Yeah, but I overheard people whispering that they had wandered outside... and I couldn't leave them like that, so I went to go find them."

"You're a true man Yamaguchi," Hinata beamed at him, and the mage smiled in response and he asked, "Has Yachi-san contacted you guys by any chance?"

There was a firm shake of the head and his smile faltered and he sighed, "Hopefully she didn't get caught up in this mess, I can only imagine how nervous and scared she'd be..." His voice trailed off and Yamaguchi turned to Tsukki, "Where were you?"

"I spawned at Lake Na," he responded, and he was about to speak when there was a fairly large sound of metal clashing metal and the sounds of arrows and magic being casted from the center of the Town Square that caught their attention.

"You blasted Brawler!" someone growled out. And from the smoke appeared a tall silver-haired male. His green eyes narrowed playfully at the Berserker that had attacked him first. And he bounced back onto his feet, his fists drawn and taut as he lightly bounced back and forth on his feet. His actions imitating any skilled martial artist.

"What? Jealous that you weren't able to nab a mercenary first?" he spat back and Kenma scowled whereas Kuroo sighed, "Lev, that

idiot

."

ID: Lyovochka Main: Brawler Level: 64 - Exp 81/100% Guild: Nekoma Fun Fact: Wanted to call himself FutureAce, but his sister caught him and made fun of him for it, and he ended up using Lyovochka instead

"If you beat me in this PvP, I'll consider giving them to you," Lev taunted. He tightened the silver gauntlets attached to his hands, and then pulled the leather gloves underneath him taut against his skin. He was wearing a black leather jacket that was patterned with dark red metallic plate armor and spikes around the wrist cuff and elbow covered his skin from the glaring sun. Underneath was a plain silver chain mail, light enough for him to easily move around, but still strong enough to withstand a blow or two. His long legs were painted black, and at the knees and the sides of his calf there were dark red spikes that were meant to damage the opponent. His shoes were made of soft leather, so he could easily feel any vibration outside of his own, but were braced with silver around the ankle.

He pulls his googles over his eyes before skidding backwards as a burst of light appeared as the mage that had attacked him immediately brought forth a series of small explosions. The Karasuno guild and the two Nekoma officers watched with exasperation as they saw the young Russian make a mess in the Time Square.

"Kuroo," Kenma softly called out. Ignoring how Lev was just sent flying as he got hit by a rather large spell of wind, Kuroo turned to the shorter male, and Kenma asked, "Wasn't Bokuto and Akaashi with Lev?"

Immediately everyone's eyes searched the watching crowd for any sight of the two owls. However, Kuroo notices first that the two were actually making their way towards them and he waves them down. Bokuto immediately jogs over.

"Bro!" he calls out as he hugs Kuroo, not regretting the awkwardness of the metallic plates beneath him.

ID: Owlicious Main: Brawler Level: 69 - Exp 1/100% Guild: None Fun Fact: This idiot loves to role play, but only Kuroo ever went along with it.

Kuroo returned the gesture, embracing the male. Bokuto was harder to notice than usual as his equipment has changed, and his signature black and white hair was now hidden by a black and gold pirate hat. His broad shoulders confidently flaunted off the long black white fur-trimmed coat. There were gold details of a dragon raging over the tail of the coat, wrapping up to where his heart was and then down the left sleeve. However, the gold details were almost hidden by the cape that looked as though it was catching fire at its ends.

Beneath the sleeves were a new pair of gauntlets, the gauntlet encased his entire hand, but unlike most metal made gauntlets and how stiff they were, Bokuto's hands were able to flex to his will, making the dark red metal look like flowing blood on his hands. The wrist cuff was decorated with tiny gold spikes.

However, beside the new coat, weapon, and cape, Bokuto was still wearing the typical brawler equipments with a platinum chain mail and the same type of pants as Lev, but with the entire calf area filled with spirals of mini golden spikes.

"Nice outfit, traded in your mercenary coins?" Kuroo asked. Bokuto proudly put his hands on his hips and nodded before smirking, "Jelly?"

"Oh very," Kuroo laughed and he waved, "Sup Akaashi."

"Hello Kuroo-san," Akaashi greeted before bowing to the rest of the group.

ID: Cashew Main: Priest Level: 70 - Exp 1/100% Guild: None Fun Fact: Akaashi refused to make a guild with Bokuto after seeing that Bokuto had changed his character's name.

The black haired, silver eyed mage was donned in a completely new set of equipments that were similar in style to Bokuto's. His normal black spiky hair was hidden beneath a black fur trimmed hood that connected to the fur collar of the coat. The hood was adorned with a rather large diamond shaped ruby on the right. The coat did not reveal anything besides its outer layer and the cape that was attached to it. Much like Bokuto's cape that looked as though the ends were still on fire, Akaashi's cape was like that as well, but also had golden detail that changed with every movement he made.

Upon closer inspection, the golden details were actually stars, and his coat and cape were a constant shower of stars across the vast black canvas. His weapon of choice was a short black winged, ruby staff and a Divine Shield. Despite the colors of his attire, the flicker of white light that constantly followed Akaashi much like it did to Kenma and Sugawara was evidence enough for his job class as a priest.

Kenma's eyes widened and he mumbled, "A full emperor's set."

"We weren't able to finish the chaos level Fafnir raid, we died at the fourth boss," Akaashi simply explained. Kenma nodded and he muttered, "It's hard."

"We're hoping to gather enough mercenary coins to exchange for a Fafnir Set," he continued to explain and Kenma nodded. Kuroo sighed and turned to Bokuto, "So, care to explain what happened up there?"

"Ah, the mage dude thought we were the mercenaries he called for hire," Bokuto explained. At that same moment, Lev had decided he was sick of taking firebolt after firebolt and dodged the incoming one and landed a solid punch on the mage-dude's face.

Daichi whistled approvingly and Bokuto continues, undaunted, "And Lev was confused too, but the mage dude kept yelling at him, and when we tried to explain he got mad at us and tried to punch us-" Kuroo doesn't hear the last part as an explosion sounds off in the center of the plaza. The smoke from the impact covered the entire scene, but suddenly the signature equipments of a mage is seen as the body skids and rolls against the ground.

The mage groans slightly and Lev stands proudly at the center and he brightly smiled, "I win!"

"Tch, we'll get you next time!"

Lev watches with lazy interest as the group goes back to standing outside the Mercenary Hall and he turns around, hands at his eyes as he searched for his friends. His eyes lit up and Kuroo lazily waves as the tall Russian walks over.

"Captain did you- Ow!" Lev is cut off as soon as Kuroo smacks the brawler's back and he growled, "You caused us so much trouble. Do you realize why people have such a bad opinion about us?"

"Besides the fact that we monopolize raids?" Kenma asked, and Kuroo nodded, "Yes besides the- Wait we do?"

The captain turned to the boy who shrugged and said, "How about we continue this back at our guild hall?"

"Or ours, we still need to thank you for helping us get our two members back," Daichi said offering a warm smile. Kuroo laughed, "We'll take you up on that offer, I hope the foods good, cause I'm getting hungry."

"Oh thank god you guys are safe!" Asahi cried out as soon as everyone filed in. There was chatter and laughter as he helped Kiyoko set up the table and bring out food. Kiyoko briefly mentions that food cooked through the skill doesn't work anymore, and instead you have to cook it like it's reality. Sugawara is immediately intrigued by this, but his hopes and dreams are shot down as soon as Kiyoko mentions that only people with pre-existing cooking skills can cook up to whatever level they had. "Eh, so you guys happened to be at the Mercenary Hall?" Yamaguchi asked as he brought over the drinks. Akaashi nodded and Bokuto continued, "But you know, it was strange." "What was?" Kuroo asked. Bokuto frowned, "Something about the NPC's felt off. They didn't feel... generic." "But maybe it's the new update!" Bokuto concludes, not really going into detail. And Kuroo turns to Lev and he drawled, "Don't think you're going to get away scotch free after tainting our guild reputation again." "Geh! But Kuroo-san! You don't get it! They were wrong!" Lev animatedly moved his hands in order to appeal his innocence and Akaashi nodded with reluctance, "If Lev-san wasn't there, I think Bokuto-san and I would have been forced to go on another raid." "Don't the mercenary and the clients have a contract though?" Kenma asked and Akaashi sighed, "Yeah, but a lot of people are picky. They always want the mercenaries that are in the top 5." "Eh, what rank are you guys?" Sugawara asked as he joined the table. Bokuto held up four fingers and proudly said, "#4!" "Oya, so you fell just short of top 3?" "Shut up Kuroo! I'd like to see you get to the top 3 when you have 2 monstrous guilds and the best support individual unit up there!" Bokuto whined and Akaashi nodded, "It's quite hard, even the two guilds have difficulty beating out [L/N] the Lotus Master." "Lotus Master?" Hinata asked. The slate-gray gaze fell upon the small orange crow and Akaashi explained, "It's her title, she got it from beating the boss in Scrapyard." "No way, I thought no one beat it yet?" Kenma asked, eyes wide and Akaashi said, "She beat it before the update it seems. Her and the ranked two mercenary guild." Akaashi frowned, "But she's the only one who has the title, so maybe she landed the finishing blow... we're not sure, no one has details. And of course, if you do want details, you'd need to pay for it. But [L/N]-san is the only player thus far to have finished every boss and obtain every title." "Wow, never knew [L/N] was so cool," Hinata murmured in awe and Bokuto raised an eyebrow, "Did you guys meet her or something? "She found Hinata and Tsukishima for us," Daichi responded. Bokuto laughed, "Tsukki got lost?!" "I did not, I was logged in at a weird location," he retorted and Akaashi tilted his head, confused, "But most of us spawned in town." "I think it depends on what you did last before you logged out," Kenma muttered and he sighed, "Kuroo and I logged in at Beginning's End." "So, what about chibi-chan?" Kuroo asked. "Ah well," Hinata sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck, "I spawned at Black Roar's Hunting Ground." "Eh?!" "But that's a boss field!" "Yeah, I didn't realize it until I was surrounded by Twilight Wolves even though it was daylight.. Black Roar should only spawn during dawn and dusk right? But it showed up in the morning! I was so shocked! And I didn't know how our skills worked so..." "Thankfully you didn't die," Ennoshita sighed in relief and everyone nodded. Hinata continued, "If it weren't for [L/N], who knows what would have happened." "I'm surprised she was there," Sugawara added in, confusion written on his face. And Hinata scratched his head, "I am too actually, I didn't ask her why she was there though..." he sighs and continues, "You know, I'm still curious as to how she knows Kenma and Tsukishima though." Kenma sighed, "We've been gaming friends for years." Everyone turned to Tsukishima and he muttered, "Next door neighbor." "You're lying." Tsukishima's glare was so intense that Kuroo immediately backed off and Hinata asked, "Wait really?" "Yes," he responded and he sighed. He was about to insert another sarcastic comment in order to stop the incessant teasing from Bokuto and Kuroo, but the guild bulletin board suddenly pinged, announcing that a guild member had responded to Daichi's public post on their guild board. Sugawara walked over, but the way his body froze, a clear signal that the response was not the one they were looking for. Daichi frowned at his commanding officer who was staring blankly at the screen and asked, "What's wrong?" "Yachi-chan is stuck at Fortress of Seduction."
