#When they learn about that stuff after Marley

[sunflowersunite]

This!!! Is so wholesome!!! I love how it's Levi who has to shake sense into everyone else. "Alright you asshats, why is nobody celebrating that idiot's birthday"

I lost it at "before her birthday he knocks her out and makes sure she's bathed and clean". He should never stop doing that. Married Levihan have to go to some military gathering? You know he's gonna knock her out to bathe her.

The chocolates™ mentioned!!! And Erwin ordering her to take the evening off 😄😄 wholesome veterans moment

Lastly, from here on I Will Die on the hill that Chikatilo and Albert were Levi's gift. I'm sure she took wonderful care of them (aka piercing through them with sticks. That's Hange's care)

I am very sorry but I just realised that Hange's birthday is coming up and I HAD to know...

How would she spend it? Does she value her birthday or is it just another exciting day for her? And what does Levi do for her birthday? Does he gift her anything?

I know it's very late and it's already been days since Hange's birthday but I just got time to post this T_T

Thanks for this @sunflowersunite!! 🥰

Here's my little levihan headcanon for how Hange's birthday would've gone in the Scouts

So levi notices in his early years in the scouts that how Hange always remembers his birthday, and Erwin's and all her close friends and comrades and she takes out time to wish each of them and even gets gifts if she can. But when it comes to her birthday, he never sees anyone doing anything other than wishing her.

It confuses him at first how four-eyes goes around making his and Erwin's, mike's and Nana's and even her squad's days special. A small gift here, an invitation of drinks there, it's simple but she does it.

So why the fuck does no one ever do anything for her?

He asks Erwin, who doesn't give a convincing answer, then her squad who simply tells him she doesn't like to celebrate it.

And that just confuses him even more cuz Hange is anything but not festive. Turns out her squad never got a direct answer from her. She was knee deep in research when they barged in and wished her and suggested they go visit the town or something

And she just waved a hand dismissively and said, "Yes very nice, now move along I'm busy." And they never went anywhere that day, and after that her squad assumed she didn't prefer to celebrate so they would just wish her and that was it.

The thing is she doesn't always remember her special day, it slips her mind - there's a lot to do already and somehow it's just too much of a hassle, there's better stuff to do than celebrating. Or sometimes she even forgets about it.

That is until levi comes along.

September approaches and four-eyes wouldn't stop whining about wanting to eat something sweet, and at first Levi can't stand it. But then it turns out to be the perfect thing to gift her.

He makes chocolates himself for her and informs her squad and his that they're celebrating whether she likes it or not. Since she never gave him a choice at his birthday either, this is payback (or so he tells them).

The night before her birthday he knocks her out and makes sure she's bathed and clean. And in the morning he strides into her lab with his trademark brooding face and slaps the box of chocolates on her face (yes I'm aware he originally makes it for her on valentine's day, but this seems like a nice idea too).

And he states in a bored voice, "Happy birthday dumbass."

And then their squads burst in and wish her and hug her and there's also Erwin and Mike and Nanaba and they've got little gifts for her like books or herbs or some lab equipment

And Erwin orders her that they'd be heading over for drinks in the evening so she better get everything done before then

They go as promised and Hange can't stop smiling and grinning the whole time. And she looks knowingly at Levi and thanks him for doing all this. And he pretends the blush on his cheeks is from the beer.

They don't have such grand celebrations every year, there's no time to catch a break or things aren't going so well since it's the survey corps and things go to shit most of the time, but Levi always gives her something or the other on her birthdays. Erwin does too most of the time.

From Levi, it could be a bunch of weird flowers she'd wanted to study, or some strange trinket he thought she could pull apart and do something with, or sometimes even a book. The best gift he gave her was a couple of titans for her research and she'd screamed in delight for fifteen minutes straight.

She named them Chikatilo and Albert of course

Post War! Levi x Baker! Reader

Love in the Oven (pt.1)

Levi lives a quiet life in Marley after the War of Heaven and Earth ended almost three years ago. The old Survey Corp group and those who helped them during the war are now peace ambassadors and are setting sail back to Paradis Island to give peace talks. Levi was invited to go but he’s still tired.

Tired mentally and physically.

He would rather stay behind than go argue with Jaegerists who have no interest in changing their beliefs.

Besides, he couldn’t leave behind the three people he cares about the most. You, Gabi and Falco.

After the war ended, Gabi and Falco were already so close with Levi that they decided to move in with him to stay together and to help care for him since he is still learning how to work around his injuries. But man, sometimes Levi can sure use a break from these two rowdy brats.

“Wow, Miss y/n! These are even better than last time!” Gabi says as she stuffs a blueberry muffin in her mouth.

Falco stresses as usual as he watches her eat like a rabid animal. “Gabi! You’re going to choke!”

Levi sighs as he watches the two start to bicker again, but you quietly laugh as you put out the fire in the oven and hang your apron.

You own a bakery here in Marley, and you met the trio when they came in looking for shelter from the rain some months ago. The four of you have been inseparable since.

“Here,” Levi places a bag of coins on the table in front of Gabi and Falco, “Why don’t you two go to the market and get food for dinner.”

Gabi smirks. “If you want alone time with Miss y/n, you could just say so.”

Falco sighs and grabs the bag of coins. “We’ll meet back here later.”

As the two are walking out the door, Gabi turns around and wiggles her brows. “Don’t get too crazy, lovebirds.”

“Gabi!” Falco yells and drags her out the door.

Levi sighs and rubs his head. Gabi wasn’t wrong when she called you and Levi lovebirds. There has been romantic tension for a long while now, but neither of you have yet to make a confession.

“Should we go crazy, Levi?” You joke as you place a warm cup of tea in front of him.

Levi rolls his eyes. “Don’t encourage her.”

You sit across from Levi and stare at him while he stirs his tea. The scar across his face and blind eye scrunches when he blinks, and he stretches out the three remaining fingers on his injured hand. Despite his injured flaws, you find him greatly attractive.

“You’re staring again.” He tells you without looking up.

You smile softly. “I can’t admire you?”

“Tch,” He scoffs while taking a small sip of tea, “Admire what? There’s nothing to admire.”

“That’s not true. You are very handsome.” You argue back with a frown.

After a few seconds, Levi sighs and looks at you. “You deserve someone better.”

“What do you mean by that?” You asked in shock.

Levi is getting frustrated now as he is insecure about himself. “Look at me, y/n. I have to use a wheelchair most days, and still need a cane on the others. I can’t see out of one eye and my face is disfigured. Two teenagers help take care of me…a grown man. I’m not good with my feelings and I still have nightmares from war. Want me to continue the list?”

You look at him sadly since it makes you upset with how little Levi sees himself. “Don’t see yourself as less of a man, Levi. None of that matters to me. I will help you through it and stay by your side.”

Levi hits the arm of his wheelchair in frustration, and it makes you jump a bit. His head falls slightly forward, and you see a tear fall down his face. “I don’t deserve you.”

Tears fall out of your own eyes as you see Levi cry. You get up and kneel in front of him and lift his face to look at you. “You deserve love, Levi. I want to give you that love. I don’t care if you need a wheelchair or can’t see out of one eye. I fell in love with YOU. I love how caring you are even though you try not to show it. I love how determined you are to keep going forward. Gabi and Falco don’t only take care of you, but you also take care of them even though you might not notice it. You have your own way of showing your feelings. Like how you brought me soup everyday while I was sick.”

You grab his hands and hold them tight. “I love you, Levi. You’re one of the toughest and most loving men I have ever met.”

Levi stares at you in shock, not knowing how to respond. “I’ve never been in a relationship before. I don’t even know how it works.”

You hum in thought. “Well… a relationship will always be a learning experience anyway. No matter if you’ve been in zero or ten. If you allow me to be by your side, I can learn along with you as well.”

Levi gently cups your face. “Be with me.”

“That’s what I’ve wanted this whole time.” You say softly.

“Finally!! ….OW!” A yell comes from behind the front door.

You laugh as Levi once again rubs his head in annoyance.

[melishade]

I love the way you wrote the latest chapter. It feels less like Eren and Zeke are being judged by gods, and more like the AOT fans are finally giving these two self-righteous idiots a piece of their mind. It's very satisfying!

Despite me liking Attack on Titan, I still have quite a few issues with it, and I've said it quite a few times, either on Ao3 or on this blog. One of the major things being season 4 was rushed and because it was rushed, there were many character moments and build up that Isayama completely missed out on, like the Marleyans and their dynamics or Eren's descent into madness. I think that an extra season would have help a lot of the stuff that Isayama intended for season 4.

That being said:

I've have to really break down, edit and rewrite Primus' interactions with Zeke and Eren multiple times, and I'll elaborate on that in an AOP alternate scene. Primus has also withheld his identity from Eren and Zeke in order to determine their character. If Primus had said that he's Optimus' god, obviously they're going to treat him differently and hide stuff from him, so keeping his origins a secret benefitted him long term. And he was glad that he did considering what he ends up learning about the brothers.

So when Primus does confront them with his identity revealed, he's really just watching them scramble trying to come up with excuses for their plans. Both involve genocide, which he obviously doesn't agree with as a being of creation, which is why Primus removes Zeke's ability to communicate with Ymir, both as a punishment for his crimes, and so he doesn't enact his plan.

Still, Primus does feel pity for Zeke, understands his plight, and considering the other alternative being Eren's plan, he does believe Zeke's plan is the better option. Zeke's plan doesn't kill off the current living Eldians. It just stops them from having children. Which is still a genocide, the Eldian people will die out, but it's a small price to pay for the future of the AOT world. However Primus has seen Zeke show no remorse in his actions when it came to killing for Marley's empire and didn't truly value life and the actual points of living. Zeke's plan simply reflected a deep-seated issue within himself: that he just wanted to die.

However, there's also the issue of Zeke not getting the actual results he wants with his plan, because people are going to be people and will abuse power. From a historical standpoint, I don't think that Zeke's plan would have achieved world peace. It simply would have caused a power vacuum that would have been replaced by another, possibly crueler, power.

Now, I know that people bag on Zeke a lot, and I've done that too, but Zeke has still been dealt a really bad hand, and that is something I have to acknowledge. Zeke's ultimate purpose in living essentially boiled down to wanting to die while also fulfilling Ksaver's plan. But because Primus told and showed him that his future was not possible, he loses any real will to live. At least that's how I saw it, especially since in the main AOT timeline, Zeke didn't really fight his way out of the Paths and made sandcastles until Armin showed up. Zeke had to really be broken down emotionally in order for Primus to consider him a non-threat, and all he had to do was show Zeke the futility of his plans.

Eren however-!

So imagine this from Primus' perspective: you wake up after the war is over and have been revived. You hear a cry from across the universe in an alternate dimension and go searching for it in said alternate dimension. You travel through years worth of memories without having the ability to really interact with the outside world. But then a miracle happens: you meet two humans that can see you completely! One of them is wary of him, but the other is willing to speak with him. He's rather quiet, but he's polite and considerate or Primus' situation. The two even bond for about seven years of searching through Grisha's memories, so much so that Primus even reveals his name to Eren.

But then Primus finds out that Eren had been withholding information that he clearly knew, actively attacked him with he tried to create a peaceful solution, and spoke of his disciple, Optimus, in such a vile and twisted manner even though Optimus wasn't supposed to be here in the first place. And then you find out, through searching through memories, much to the behest of the Primes to not do that, that this teenager not only wants to destroy the world, but kills one of your very first creations in the process.

Obviously, Primus is very pissed off at Eren more than he is at Zeke.

One of the few things that genuinely frustrated me when the final manga chapter of AOT came out was that Eren's friends were still treating him with kindness, respect, and even love, even though he tried to kill them and wiped out 80% of humanity. Eren destroyed the world and put many survivors of the massacre in desolate situations. The anime does improve on this a little bit, with Armin having a much more visceral reaction to being told that 80% of humanity is dead. However, what Eren did was genocide to a massive degree, and it clearly wasn't to protect his friends or even the island. It was for his own selfish gain of fulfilling a wish that never really existed. I implore you to watch this video:

Because it provides a really great breakdown of Eren's overall character which is that his main, selfish, desire, is freedom, and he will do everything and anything to get it. Even if it meant his friends and family got caught in the crossfires, even if he understood the struggles of the Eldians outside of the walls, he rejected all of that in order to fulfill his selfish wish.

And this breakdown really helped me write Eren's interactions with Primus a lot more fluidly. Because Primus has seen the goodness within Eren. He knows the good things that Eren is capable of doing, so he's so confused as to why Eren devolved into madness and death in such a short amount of time in his eyes. Primus brings up the fall of Shinganshina and the death of his mother, but Primus knows deep down that doesn't address the issue of Eren's motivation. He feels as though it is something else. So he brings up his friends, Armin, Mikasa, and Optimus to try and figure out the underlying issue. (I'll also break down the Prime voices in another ask and how each of them, and Primus, react to Eren's answers because that deserves it's own post). But Primus just sees Eren dodging the question, refusing to stand down when it came to the concern and safety of the people he cared about. He justifies his actions as protecting them, but Primus knows that none of them wanted this.

It's only when Primus threatens Eren's freedom that Eren confesses his truth:

“I WON’T LET YOU! THAT FREEDOM IS MINE!” Eren screamed in anger, “AND THE WORLD KEEPS TRYING TO TAKE IT! THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS JUST LIKE HUMANITY IN THE WALLS! THE WORLDS BEYOND IT ARE ALL JUST THE SAME! I HATE IT! WHAT’S THE POINT OF ANY OF IT?! EVERYONE IS JUST SELFISH AND I JUST WANT TO SEE IT GONE!”

Eren just wants to see the world burn and achieve the freedom he so desired as a child, and Primus reacts appropriately by calling him out for his childishness and nearly ends his life over it. Because like the video said, Eren hasn't grown or changed. He's rejected the growth that's he's been confronted with and has always been the same person since season 1.

There's a lot more that I can talk about, and this definitely feels like it's me rambling. I'm certain I did repeat some points. However, I don't mind asks regarding chapter 90 and 91 because I really want to provide my breakdowns even further on the topics and ideas I've had.

[ambrosialdesire]

i’m the same anon who was asking all those questions about cacoethes (abt eren and ymir not noticing that reiner kidnapped y/n and abt the scouts LMAO i’m sorry i just really like asking stuff) anyway i was wondering what the warriors thought 😭 like what were they thinking when reiner was bringing some girl to marry and how did the marleyans react… love u

hi and welcome back anon <3 LOLOL it's okay if you wanna ask more about cacoethes, i like talking about it and trying to describe more in-depth about the characters.

so let's start with annie and bertolt cause of course we gotta start with reiner's homies and the ones that knew about her since the start.

annie was already sorta close with the reader in the first place, close enough to be teaching her a bit of the moves she learned with her dad back home. the reader was so persistent on being her friend and learning from her that annie just gave in so she'd leave her alone, but she does share some platonic fondness over her. when reiner mentioned about bringing her home with them, she really did think it was terrible idea and that he was a hard-headed moron to think that a paradisian soldier would trust a trio of enemy titan shifters in the first place. part of her was trying to protect the reader from an unwanted life but also because she was more focused on getting the founding titan and finally going home. when she finally gets de-crystiallized and meets up with the scouts, she notices that the reader isn't with them and wonders if reiner really did manage to bring her to marley or if she got killed (but she already knew that reiner would never let that happen).

bertolt has been mentioned to be wary of the reader and at first, hostile towards her. he didn't like the idea of krista/historia either because he didn't want reiner's intentions to get the founding titan to be muddled with trying to find a wife on this island. when he started to get to know the reader more, he felt really bad that they were deluding her from their real selves and their true purpose for being here. she's a nice girl, don't get him wrong but reiner can find another nice marleyan girl similar to her. but he was so goddamn persistent that his wife had to be her and only her that he went along with it, especially after reiner offed marco and had an unexplainable mental break. he basically just felt really guilty overall and though he was sorta mean towards her, he still cared about the reader since they were slowly become friends. even when facing his death, the brief thought of her being forced into marley made him sick to his stomach and he had to die with the guilt that he didn't do more to stop his best friend.

now moving onto the warriors in marley! i'm gonna be doing the adults cause i've established briefly (i think in the second chapter) that gabi doesn't like the reader at all and i don't really wanna write about the childrens' (gabi and falco) or colt's viewpoint lol

starting with zeke, he didn't and doesn't really care all that much about the reader. all he knew was that she's a devil that reiner became too fond of during the years of being on the island and refused to leave behind, making him pull strings out of his ass to convince the higher ups to let her stay in the country. during the transport and the "immigration" processes, he considered her a complete pain in the ass for making him do all of this needless work. he also doesn't like the fact that reiner wants to have children, consistently bringing it up after meetings or whenever they don't have anything to talk about. he does admire the determination the reader has on abstaining from sex, amused by the fact that she's rejected reiner's advances for nearly three years. zeke thinks she's a little cute whenever she try to hide from his gaze but he doesn't think about you 24/7 like reiner does. she's just a weak devil-blooded soldier that reiner chose to marry and that's it, nothing more and nothing less.

with pieck, she's kind towards the reader and briefly shown to have a peaceful acquaintance with her. she doesn't really care much that she comes from paradis, but she was shocked back then when reiner told her to bring her unconscious body to the boat, wondering why he had decided to bring her along (at first she thought that she was the founding titan holder). she knows that the reader will always be uncomfortable with the fact that she was forced to come to marley so she tries her best to ease her mind whenever they hang out, occasionally with the company of porco (before the reader and him fought and became friends). she does enjoy her cooking and likes the fact that she lets her hide in the guest bedroom to nap whenever the others are trying to make her do her share of the paperwork.

porco absolutely hated the reader, at first. he was never okay like the others with the fact that she came from paradis island, bringing up the fact that she's a "full-blooded" devil. even when she became married to reiner, he thought the man was under a spell that caused him to be so disillusioned from the fact that she's a paradisian, the enemy they've sworn war on. so in the beginning, he ignored her or insulted her bloodline, never wanting to be in the same room as her ever. it seemed to work for a while, she avoided him like the plague as well until that fateful night. sparring with her changed everything about her to him. i will confirm that porco did develop a crush on the reader as the days went by the more he hung out her alone (he can now sorta understand why reiner chose her out of everyone in the island) but he's always going to be conflicted about it and never do anything about his new and indifferent feelings towards her. cause yk... she's married LMFAO even if the reader had told him that she's dissatisfied with being married to reiner, he's not the one who's going to cause or push for an affair between them. porco develops a fondness for her but he constantly has to remind himself that his duty comes first, not this woman that comes from the island that he's been taught to hate.

in all, they're basically indifferent towards her. like they know she's nice but all the kindness she gave out was a weakness that reiner used to his advantage. hope this was a satisfactory answer to your question HAHA

Unpopular AOT Opinions

Not that I have ever held much in common with the rest of the AOT fandom, especially as someone who has called themselves an Ex-Fan for the last five years.........Nevertheless, a few thoughts that sure to leave the typical AOT fanatic a bit salty. 

* Eren Yeager is actually one of the worst anime protagonists. Even back when I was on his side, I never found him to be an especially phenomenal character. There was a time I liked Eren Yeager, but I was never ever enamored by him. And you know a character is bad when he has his foolish fans insisting that he was completely in the right to wage genocide on the earth and should have finished the job. 

* Likewise, Mikasa is still one of the worst anime female protagonists. While not an outright awful character, she is far too one-dimensional due to her singleminded fixation on Eren. Even after he goes off the deep end. I don’t give a damn about her feelings about Eren. And you should not either, Eremika fans. 

* Attack on Titan’s worldbuilding is crap. We don’t even know the name of some districts of the Walls yet and there’s much of them still unexplored. We know about the nations of Paradis, Marley, and Hizuru, the last of which NEVER made an onscreen appearance. And we certainly didn’t get enough development of Marley as the main enemy faction, they never felt like a fully fleshed out plot point. They’re one-dimensional. And never grew beyond an explanation for the Titans’ origins. That’s to say nothing of the world beyond Marley, or of other Eldian survivors worldwide. Or the Mid-East Aliiance! 

* Erwin should have inherited the Colossal Titan. Armin doesn’t utilize his nearly enough to justify his possession of it. Erwin almost certainly would never have wasted such a powerful advantage. 

* Annie was revived too late. Far too last minute for her motivations to feel organic and her arc to feel properly played out. She should have died in Season One and her Titan consumed by one of her captors. Plus her popularity is unwarranted, especially once we learned how unremorseful she is over her crimes. 

* I don’t care about Onyankopon. I’m not saying he’s a bad character, he’s not even a character with any characteristics we can really hate. But I can’t be bothered to remember he’s there half the time. Probably because there’s little he can do to balance out the many bad elements of the final arcs. He’s hardly a critical player. 

* NicoSasha is one of the WORST pairings ever conceived, mostly because they got zero onscreen time together aside from a single flashback. See this is the stuff you idiots need to consider before you kill off one half of a pairing you want to push as a relevant plot point. 

* The Uprising Arc is largely irrelevant. I can’t be bothered to even look at that part of the story with more than passing acknowledgement. Why do you people get your rocks off at the sight of Kenny Ackerman, anyway? Is he somebody I was supposed to care about either? 

* The Warhammer Titan, as I touched upon in an older post, is a total waste of time. If you’re gonna round out the Nine Titans, you can’t afford for any one of them to be a footnote in the story. And that’s all it and its wielder Lara Tybur are; a footnote in the story. Does it honestly even need to exist in the narrative? Kind of makes me wonder why Liberio was even a part of the story. Could’ve saved us a TON of grief on that one. 

* I hate Mikasa’s S4 redesign. She looks far too masculine and not in a good way. I have no problem with such things, but in her case she just does not look good. And Sasha’s S4 look is one that sits poorly too with me now. Probably because of its obvious association with the miserable events of that season. 

* Falco..........More on him later. 

* Ymir Fritz is one of the LEAST engaging plot points of the series and I think a shoddy explanation for the Titans’ origins. It’s already a needlessly complicated story as it is, but I feel nothing for this walking little spoiler. And don’t get me started on this idiotic revelations in the finale. 

* Lindsay Seidel’s performance as Gabi is every bit as abysmal as the character she agreed to play. And I never want to hear her voice in anything to follow her work on Titan ever again. 

* And that goes equal ways to Bryce Papenbrook and his overrated ass. 

* They did Hange Zoe dirty in Season Four. I am PISSED they framed her as such an inept commander as they did. It definitely hurt my otherwise warm opinion of her. Fucking disrespectful that they’d waste her like that. 

* Fuck this grey morality BS the fans keep pushing. I do NOT appreciate being made to hate Paradis by the end of the series, the faction we were supposed to be rooting for early on. I am REALLY not kosher with this at all. Not having any true heroes to root for by the end destroyed my ability to hold on to even a speck of genuine investment.  * I did NOT approve of Artur Braus and his family forgiving Gabi Braun. You do NOT place the murderer of your child above said child. That wasn’t a show of moral integrity. That was failure to honor the memory of the person who they owed justice to. Treating them in the right for how they handled that situation is not as noble as Isayama frames it as. Anyone want to try to disagree?  * The Thunder Spears are actually pretty pathetic weapons, rarely ever landing an outright kill.  * The Rumbling by SiM? DOGSHIT. I hate it because of the season and opening it’s attached to. You can’t polish a turd with this grunge crap. 

* My War is also an extremely forgettable AOT theme. 

* Hiroyuki Sawano’s music is the only consistently good element of the series aside from the aforementioned. And it too is poisoned by its association with this. Guilt By Association. 

* Jean Kirstein isn’t nearly as interesting as fans have been making him out to be in S4. I dare say I stopped caring if he would die well before that disastrous finale. The same goes for Connie Springer, who had no business surviving this due to having zero plot. Does that count as an unpopular opinion? I know some people tire of Sasha’s potato gag, but Connie’s hardly a funny character on his own. 

* Hajime Isayama is DEFINITELY a closeted fascist. 

* Studio MAPPA’s animation is hideous compared to WIT’s. 

* People like Yelena. I do not. Why does she exist again?  * Eren’s descent into villainy is one of the worst bad calls in anime history, right up there with everything involving Gabi Braun. Both of these characters brought down AOT. 

* Gabi Braun’s fanbase represents some of the biggest fucking ASSHOLES I’ve ever put up with. If you’re a fan of this character, fucking get help, because I’m not listening to your pathetic attempts to defend something so unnecessary as if she’s the second coming of Christ. The fanaticism from her end is incomprehensible. 

* Pieck Finger is a wholly unnecessary character. She’s not even that cute. She’s just there. No plot, no point.  * Ymir’s reasons for leaving Historia and getting eaten for her troubles? Total horseshit. Like this was an egregious waste of someone set up to be a much bigger presence in the story. This was when the fanbase should’ve deserted the entire thing. Just the first of many abandoned subplots and character arcs. Is that an unpopular stance? I don’t know, but I’m going to count it anyway. 

* And finally.........THIS STORY ENDED WITH THE OCEAN.

What I have for my AOT: season 4 rewrite so far (Pt. 1)

(This banner was made by someone on Deviantart)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• We start off when more Marleyans come to Paradis (with Onyankopon and Yelena) and that’s when the Scouts learned more about the country’s plans on what to do with the island, and why they sent warriors in the first place.

• Armin learns how to control his new Armoured Titan powers, seeing him train with Eren, and briefly witnesses some of Reiner’s memories.

• Zeke still attempts a deal with Paradis so he can carry out his own mission of getting closer to his brother Eren to use the Founder’s power.

• Eren actually tells his friends (mainly Mikasa and Armin) parts of the possible future he saw at the medal ceremony. He wants to do everything he can to stop such a mess from happening - one was the global rumbling.

• Oh yeah, the Hizuru stuff has been cut all together.

• We cut a few years later, when the Scouts journeyed to Marley for the first time. Everything stays roughly the same except Eren doesn’t leave everybody.

• The attack on Liberio still happens in someway, and still does on Eren’s part to bring out the War Hammer Titan (the Scouts do get some intel about the Tyburs).

• This of course forces the warriors out as well: Bertholdt, Vera (Ymir) and Pieck. Colt keeps Falco and Gabi safe for a while until the two ran after the Scouts on their own.

• After the battle and retrieval of the War Hammer, the kids manage to get onto the blimp and… you guessed it… Gabi shoots Connie.

• This event is all too disheartening for everybody, especially Sasha and Eren. The former lost her closest friend and the latter blames himself for not stopping one misfortune from his vision to come true.

[klm-zoflorr]

You know the drill by now. Marley incorrect quotes. They're funny. Part 9.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Mikasa: How long does your ideal hug last?

Historia: 38-45 minutes

Mikasa: That's really impractical

Historia: You said ideal, not realistic!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke, writing a letter to Magath:

Dear Commander,

ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?????

Kindest regards, Zeke

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Mikasa, about Eren: I can excuse terrorism but I draw the line at mass murder

Falco: You can excuse terrorism ??

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi: Thanks for always giving me great advice Commander, even if I don’t always use it.

Commander Magath: You actually never use it.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: It's not my fault dad likes me better than he likes you

Zeke: Oh, don't flatter yourself. Dad likes everyone better than he likes me

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Annie: I have a big announcement, everybody! Armin and I-

Sasha: Omg, you're pregnant??

Eren: Congratulations !

Connie: I'm so excited to find out if I'm gonna be an aunt or an uncle!

Annie: What? No, stop that. Armin and I bought fake beards, glasses and monkey plushies, we're gonna make Historia believe she has even more far removed psycho relatives lol

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: What happens when you die?

Zeke: Your soul goes into paths

Eren: No, I mean - when you die, do I get your stuff?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Ymir: I want us to be more than friends

Historia, clapping her hands excitedly: BEST friends??!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: *stoned out of his mind* I'm hungry

Carla Yaeger: I'm disappointed in you

Eren: Grilled cheese

Carla: What?

Eren: Grill me a cheese

Carla: I'm not doing that!

Eren: *starts crying*

Carla: Oh, for God's sake

*Cut to Carla making him a grilled cheese*

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Falco: Merry day before Christmas!!

Porco: It's called eve

Falco: Oh sorry. Merry day before eve!!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren fighting the Warhammer Titan: Call an ambulance!

Eren unplugging Lara Tybur from her titan: BUT NOT FOR ME!!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Porco: Tits or ass?

Reiner: Uhhh

Bertholt : ✨personality✨

Porco: It's not about which one you think is your best quality, Bertholt

Ymir: Ass.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Historia, wearing cat ears and drawn on whiskers: Zeke, where are your whiskers ?

Zeke, also wearing cat ears: Ask again and you'll be down to eight lives.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi, to Falco: Oh please. Do you really think that disapproving glare works on me after all the times I've seen it?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Historia, after learning of Ymir's death: Maybe because you're skinny, and maybe because you're pretty, you're used to getting away with things. But I want you to know that your actions have an affect on others, and I hate you, and you are a horrible person, and you not understanding that you are a horrible person doesn't make you less of a horrible person.

Porco:

Porco: *blushing* You think I'm pretty?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Mikasa: Right now I don't know if I want to kiss you or shove you off a bridge.

Eren: Can I pick?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: I finally figured out what's been missing from my life.

Eren, pulling away the red curtain to reveal the Yeagerists: It's henchmen

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi, about Reiner: What does being claustrophobic mean?

Falco: It means he's scared of Santa Claus

Reiner: No, it doesn't!

Gabi: Oh oh oh!

Colt: Stop it Gabi, you're scaring him!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Grisha: So you believe in God?

Hannes: Yeah, I do.

Grisha: Ahah, that's so stupid.

Hannes: Well, what do YOU believe in?

Grisha: That there is a millenia old mute teenager hanging around in a parallel plane of existence building up titans and reconstructing my arms when I get injured, all that with only magic sand and not a drop of water. There's no food there but it's fine because she's dead anyways. Also she's everyone's ancestor and if she allows you to you can talk in everyone's heads. She gained the ability to transform into a 120 meters tall skeletal monstrosity after a weird underground worm grafted itself onto her spine. You too can gain that ability by eating people!

Hannes: I... Okay. I'm just... Gonna leave now...

Grisha, loudly, at Hannes' retreating form: I DID IT BY THE WAY. I ATE PEOPLE AND WILL DO IT AGAIN.

Grisha: For the greater good, of course.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Yelena: So there I was, burying a Marleyan in the garden in a nightgown and slutty fishnet pantyhose...

Eren: And you think that's a normal Saturday morning activity?

Yelena: Well you gotta bury them somewhere!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Floch: Is it ok if I use gendered terms?

Yelena: Sure... Whatever

Floch: Fuck you.

Yelena: Where was the gendered term?

Floch: In your mom

Yelena:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Falco: Hi! How's it going?

Gabi: I don't know... I feel weird. *touches her arm* when I touch there it hurts.

Gabi: *touches her head* and when I touch there it hurts

Gabi: *touches her leg* and there too...

Gabi: *touches her shoulder* and it hurts as well...

Falco:

Falco, grabbing her hand: Gabi, your finger is broken.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Historia: Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren, about Ymir and Annie: My god, would you two just get a room already?

Annie: Excuse me??

Eren: You both just keep agreeing about horrifying things and relishing in everybody else's misery. So seriously, when's the wedding?

Ymir:

Historia:

Armin:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*S1*

Eren: I'm having a really hard time, I just lost my mother.

Reiner: I'm sorry, do you want me to help you go look for her?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Grisha: Would you like to know the quickest way to a man's heart?

Carla: *twirling her hair* Go on?

Grisha: Bilateral incision to the upper left region of the sternum.

Carla: What the fuck

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Sasha: So how do you ask someone out?

Eren: Well, first-

Mikasa: Don't ask him. He asked me out in a McDonalds parking lot.

Eren: ...You said yes though?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Sasha, to Connie: You're starting to forget your Spanish because you don't practice

Connie: Lo siento. Estoy embarazado.

Sasha: You just told me you're pregnant.

Jean: Congratulations Connie, you're glowing!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Armin: Thanks to Duolingo, I can ask someone if they're a horse but can't tell people what my name is in French

Jean: Ask me if I'm a horse. I dare you.

Armin: Tu es un cheval?

Jean: Nay

Armin: Oh you-

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Levi, getting enrolled into the Survey Corps: You kill people for money??

Erwin: Look, it's not THAT extreme, we only do it when there's no other-

Levi: And all this time I've been doing it for free like a chump!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi, a big smile on her face: You have to be the worst driver I've ever seen. How the hell did you get a licence?

Sasha:

Falco, appearing from the backseat discheveled: Please tell me you have a licence

Sasha:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi, her ear stuck to the door: I can hear three -no wait maybe, maybe four of them?

Gabi: They're talking about whether Kylie Jenner would make a good mother

*Reiner, Annie, Marcel and Porco's conversation gets heated*

Gabi: The consensus seems to be "no"

Falco: Well, that's why I'm a Chloe man

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Yelena: So does your friend... Mikasa, know about our plans?

Eren: Of course! Mikasa is in the known of all my plans, I heavily imply those to her all the time!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Jean: I have no fears!

Historia: What if you wake up one day and Eren is taller than you?

Jean: I have one fear.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke: What now, you just turn tail on the family business?

Eren: Nothing says family quite like the whole family being dead

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Hange: May I get you anything to drink, Eren?

S1 Eren: The tears of titans wrenched from their bodies as their bones are crushed.

Hange: We have jasmine tea.

Eren: Oh, jasmine. Yes, please.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren, to the 104th: If I die my funerals gonna be the biggest fucking party and you're all invited

Armin: If

Annie: Great, the only party I've ever been invited to and he might not even die

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Marcel: Why do people have quiet respectful funerals? When I die I want my ashes mixed with glitter and packed tightly into a coffin and then they blow up the coffin with explosives so glitter rains down on the guests while blasting "thanks for the memories" by fall out boy

Porco: Jesus god almighty

Marcel: Dare tell me you wouldn't want to go to that kind of funeral. Come on.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi: So can you take me to the ice cream store? Reiner said no

Porco: Well if Reiner said no then why should I say yes?

Gabi: Because he's not the boss of you!

Porco: *realises it's a trap*

Porco:

Porco: *getting up* Go get your stuff

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Porco, in a high-pitched voice, holding Barbie: Hey, Ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career!

Gabi, in a deep voice, holding Ken: Nonsense, Barbie. You’re staying home and having my kids.

Zeke: What the fuck are you guys doing?

Porco: Playing systemic oppression.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reiner: Remember! Curiosity killed the cat!

Porco: Yes, but you forget that satisfaction brought it back. So yes, Gabi, go find out if that airship can catch fire!

Reiner: You're a bad influence.

Porco: And you don't know your sayings.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Marcel: You’ve heard of Netflix and Chill, now get ready for…

Marcel: ...IMAX and climax!

Pieck: Blockbuster and Cockthruster.

Porco: Hulu and Woohoo?

Zeke: Amazon Prime and Sexy Time!

Reiner: Church and repentance.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi: Yeah, like your family is so perfect! Your brother's a pervert!

Eren: Don't talk to me about the sexual habits of family members, what about your cousin?

Gabi: Reiner has been through a lot...

Eren: ...yeah, of dick!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reiner, covering Gabi's ears with his hands: Honestly I would be offended on my own behalf but WHY ARE YOU TALKING THIS WAY TO A TWELVE YEAR OLD??

Eren: When I was her age I was running for my life and slaughtering grown men. She'll be fine.

Reiner: You are not even REMOTELY what I would call "fine"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Bertholt: You're so pretty

Annie: r u flirting with me

Bertholt: Yeah

Annie: dont ever do it again

Bertholt: Sorry

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Floch: It's been a tough year

Yelena: It's the first week of January

Floch: Your point?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Mikasa: I mean, to be fair, we did organize a hostile takeover of our government, start a rebellion, invade his home, blow up his home, engage in technical terrorism, involving MULTIPLE sentient titans and A LOT of explosives, blow up his train, kill a bunch of his men, blow up his ship, shot him, shot him again and killed him. I'd be stressed too.

Mikasa: Well, if my ability to feel emotions hadn't been irrevocably numbed over a thousand times over.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi: *holding acorn* What's this?

Connie: A tree

Gabi: Really?

Connie: In a nutshell, yes.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Levi: Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Historia: Bold of you to assume I was even held!

Mikasa: Historia, we've talked about this

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Hange: What did you two do?

Mikasa:

Armin:

Hange, whispering: You're not in trouble. I just need to know if I have to lie to the Yeagerists again or not.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke: Aww Pieck, you had a crush on me, that's sooo embarrassing!

Pieck: We're literally married.

Zeke: Still.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Colt: I told you not to wear it in the shower!

Falco, holding a soggy Burger King crown: I don’t need a lecture right now, okay? I need emotional support

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: I love hearing Mikasa shouting at someone else. It makes for such a nice change.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Levi: It'll take a lot more than trying to kill Hange with a hammer to make her wanna run away.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Pieck: Are you single?

Marcel: "single" is the word the government created to give Americans tax disadvantages. If you're asking me if I'm lonely the answer is yes

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: Are you alright?

Reiner: I'm gonna start charging people money for asking me that.

Eren: Oh, sorry. I meant it in a sarcastic way.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*Mikasa is at a weaponsmith's exhibit, looking at all the pretty knives*

Eren: She's like a kid in a candy store

Armin: A butcher at a slaughterhouse perhaps

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke: *in paths, making his grand speech about how Eldians need to be exterminated for there to be true peace*

Eren: Stop talking, please, this is just embarrassing.

Zeke: Stop me yourself, coward

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Grisha: *sending a message to Zeke of him standing in an empty field with the caption "I thought you'd like to know that I'm outstanding in my field"*

Zeke, texting back: Tf u gt data cover in Hel? 😳

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Erwin, texting: How make chicken

Levi, also texting: What

Erwin: Where buy chicken

Levi: Erwin this isn't google

Erwin: Avacoda

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke, texting: fr eren giv paths bac u suk 😠🖕🏻

Eren, also texting: What, so you can forcibly mutilate our people for an uncaring and selfish nation who will never even recognise what you did for them? No way in hell I'm doing that bro.

Zeke: your anoyin

Eren: *you're

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke, texting: h3y hru 😙

Pieck, also texting: Where are you? I'm at the front desk of the grocery store, please don't make me ask them to call you here.

Zeke: im coming. wat u think abt sover8y of the hi2ry ppl fro this mor9 gen meet? 🤔🤓

Pieck: What? Do you mean "What do I think about the sovereignty of the Hitoury people from this morning's general meeting"? Why are you asking me this by text?

Zeke: ya

Zeke: luv u bby c u lat3r <3 😘😍

Pieck: Please stop texting like a lovesick illiterate 13 year old girl.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Sasha, texting Connie: Evil gang 😈

Sasha: Evil gang 😈

Sasha: Evil gang 😈

Sasha: Ily

Connie: Ily 2 bro <3

Connie: Evil gang 😈

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Jean, texting: You are in a realm by yourself, the laughing stock of your village. You are a comedic vessel that has no port or harbor, a joke of a wanderer with no destination.

Reiner, texting back: I think u have the wrong number

Jean: is this eren?

Reiner: no

Jean: My bad

Jean: 👍

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Porco: Well clearly you don't own an ✨air fryer✨

Gabi: Why are y'all frying air?!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke, to Mikasa: Oh please, don't be so dramatic. If I'm really as evil as you say then may God strike me where I stand...

*lightning strikes*

Zeke, looking at the charred piece of ground 1 meter away from him:

Zeke: HA!! Nice try, jackass! Next time, give it your A-game!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Sasha: I mean, to be stab-worthy, you know? It's, uh...

Sasha: It's kind of a compliment

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Ymir: What's the scariest horror movie you've ever watched?

Armin: IT. I threw the remote at my tv when the clown showed up. Never again.

Historia: Annabelle

Eren: Paranormal Activity

Annie: High School Musical. All throughout high school I was scared that everyone was gonna randomly get up and start singing and dancing, and I would be the only one who doesn't know the lyrics.

Mikasa: That time me and Eren got kidnapped.

Historia: That time you got WHAT

Ymir: That's not even a movie.

Mikasa: Still.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*Eren sneaking back into his bedroom after a night of plotting war crimes*

Levi, flicking the light on: Mind telling me where you've been all night?

Eren: I was... Going over some plans with Commander Hange

Hange, turning around dramatically in Eren's chair: Wanna try that one again?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*During the time they were waiting for Eren*

Hange, to the pitch black room: If chickens were big enough to eat us do you think they would?

Levi: Hange, it's 4 AM. I don't have the patience for that kind of conversation.

Hange: What if you gave them titan serum, would they grow bigger?

Levi: Hange.

Hange: How do we know regular chickens don't already have a taste for our blood? Maybe they just play coy and innocent, until the day we're at their mercy, and then BAM!

Levi: They're vegetarian, Hange. They eat grain.

Hange: But are we sure of that?? I mean, we deduce an animal's diet by what they eat in the wild, correct? Chickens have so long been domesticated we forgot what they're truly after. Plus, look at those sharp beaks and scary teeth, that can tear meat off surely.

Levi: You're mixing that up with geese. Chickens don't have teeth.

Hange: Really? When was the last time you looked at a chicken, Levi?

Levi: I-...

Hange:

Levi:

Levi: Okay, but have you ever heard the french idiom "when chickens will grow teeth"? That proves chickens presently don't have teeth!

Hange: Or maybe they do, and everything we've ever said will never come to pass is actually gonna happen because we live in the worst timeline. Think about it, when was the last time you had a moment where you were genuinely calm, at peace and sure everything would turn out well?

Levi: When I had my tea yesterday, it was very early in the morning and all the brats were away.

Hange: ...Or maybe they grew their teeth in secret and they're hiding it from us!

Levi: Chickens aren't even smart enough for that!

Hange: ...Again, do you speak with a lot of chickens?

Levi:

Hange: I'd much rather speak with chickens than most of my trainees, to be honest.

Levi: Ha, true.

Hange:

Levi:

Hange: But do you think if chicken were big enough to eat us-

Levi: Hange, shut up.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Porco: You know, I used to be really against organ transplants.

Porco: And then I had a change of heart

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi: Ok, I’ve done a lot of dumb stuff.

Pieck: I witnessed the dumb stuff.

Porco: I recorded the dumb stuff.

Falco: I joined in on the dumb stuff.

Reiner: I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THE DUMB STUFF!!!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reiner: You should be addicted to shutting the fuck up

Eren: You wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid

Reiner: So what if I do?

Eren: *blushes*

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reiner: I love Star Wars

Sasha: Hello there

Reiner: Ahah hey what's up

Sasha:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Historia: Someone take me to art museums and make out with me.

Eren: But they said not to touch the masterpieces.

Ymir: Well somebody's got to pin the artwork to the wall.

Levi, on his walkie talkie: This is Captain Levi, those idiots are fucking around in the East wing again.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zeke: You ruined my life!

Grisha: How could I have done that?! I wasn't even there!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*After the Paradisians retook Shiganshina*

Zeke, still growing his limbs back: All in all, a 100% successful trip

Reiner: But we lost Bertholt.

Zeke: All in all, a 100% successful trip!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

*Isabel Magnolia left the Survey Corps and is trying to make a living selling goods on the street*

Levi: What are you selling?

Isabel: Hats…what are you doing?

Levi: You are now selling quality piles of ashes!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Gabi: I'd like everybody to take a moment and think back to a time when they did something stupid, how they were treated, and how they wished they were treated.

Commander Magath: What the HELL did you do?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Armin: Annie, I need to talk to you about something important.

Annie: That building was already on fire when I got there.

Armin: What?

Annie: What?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Connie, to Hange: Of course you shouldn't try to ride a Titan like a bull! Respectfully, Commander, any idiot would know that!

Sasha: I knew that!

Connie: See?!

Sasha:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: *going off on his own and doing some wild thing*

Hange: What the hell are you doing?

Eren: I'm Eren-ing (ironing) this plan's kinks out!

Hange: What?! No, no, uh-uh! You're not turning yourself into a verb, I won't allow it!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Zofia: Man, I only ever see you awake, do you ever shut down or stop running?

Gabi: Oh, I’m always running

Gabi: The question is from what

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Commander Magath: GABI! I KNOW YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SWITCHED ALL THE CARTRIDGES OF MY COLORED PENS!

Gabi: Welp! Gotta go!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reiner: Did they hurt you?

Bertholt : No, no, I'm fine. Did YOU get hurt?

Reiner: Who cares?!

Bertholt : I do!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Historia: I mean, accidents don't just happen... You know... Accidentally...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Armin: thank you, ancestors, for passing down detailed and cautious instructions on how not to get seduced and stolen away by mischievous female spirits, which I have lovingly transformed into How To Find Me a Wife Real Quick manual

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Falco: Porco is hard to figure out. Who knows what he's really thinking.

Zeke: Hey, Porco, whachya thinking about?

Porco: Frogs.

Zeke: He's thinking about frogs.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Historia, giggling: Hey Armin, why can't a koala be a bear?

Armin, reading a book: Because they're marsupials

Sasha, also giggling: bECaUse THey'Re mArsUPiaLS

Historia: NO! It's because they don't have the right koalifications!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Pieck: Bottling up negative emotions is bad for your health, so you shouldn't do it.

Zeke: I know, that's why I bottle up all my emotions, both positive and negative, so it cancels out.

Pieck: Th-that's not how that works-

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Reiner: Oh yeah? Well at least I know how to read.

Porco: What?

Reiner: You made fun of me for reading comic books. Well, at least I know how to read.

Porco: What are you talking about?

Reiner: We were by the swing sets on the North side of the training camp.

Porco: You mean when we were ten?! That was a whole decade ago!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Eren: Mikasa Ackerman, I need you.

Mikasa: For?

Eren: Ever

Mikasa, voice cracking: Oh.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Pieck: I just need to hear those three words from you.

Zeke: I love you.

Pieck: Try again.

Zeke, grumbling: I will behave.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Falco: Man, sure is dark in here

Gabi:

Falco: I'm not scared or anything

Gabi:

Falco: I mean who is scared of the dark these days? Not me no sir

Gabi: Do you want me to hold your hand?

Falco: Yes please.

Levi: I fear no man. But that thing...

*Connie trying to slurp spilled vodka off the carpet while Sasha is desperately trying to hold him back*

Levi: It scares me.

Commander Magath: And, I'm gonna have to shut down this whole operation

Gabi: But why?!

Commander Magath: Because, Gabi, I can't have you sell your baby teeth as a "magic titan remedy" behind the government's back!

Gabi: *grumbles*

Falco: But they're not even hers!

Commander Magath: They're not- WHAT?!

Zeke: I'm giving head to Porco for his birthday, t'was a pain to track down his first grade teacher!

Reiner:

Pieck: ʷʰᵃᵗ

Reiner: Zeke, what do you think "giving head" means?

Zeke: Giving your friends the head of their worst enemy on a silver platter, of course, why, what does it mean?

Pieck: Well, uh...

*Later*

Zeke: Frankly I'm disappointed

Ooooh the Thing ask ABSOLUTELY reinforces the idea that if ANYTHING happens to a dog in a movie, Roxy is in tears. You have to pull up and article or behind the scenes stuff just to show her they're okay and it's all acting. Poor baby loves her pup brethren :((

Hsjxhdib I mean... She'd know it's just fiction... But also if anything happens to the doggos the behind the scenes dog stuff is a big comfort. She's pretending she's fine and she's not devastated the doggo got hurt but Chica is already putting some silly behind the scenes clips of the dog getting stuck in the door with a set piece or something lmao

Anyone that watches movies with her is very familiar with the 'does the dog die' websites and other such sites so they can check if it's Roxy Safe. They don't tell her they do this cause she's dead set on pretending it doesn't effect her at all even when she's literally sat there crying over it (she's trying very hard not to but she's failing miserably)

She and Monty will never admit to being scared of scary things ever. They will take this to their graves despite the fact everyone knows because they're terrible liars that can't hide their emotions for shit. For Roxy, this includes anything bad ever happening to a dog on screen.

They used to get teased a little for this, but it has long since been learned that if you poke them just right, they'll be determined to prove they can handle it and the next thing they know they're quietly freaking out clinging to their arm like this is the end of them. Now it's been deemed off limits in an effort to prevent them from putting themselves through it... But for some fucking reason they seem to think this rule doesn't apply to them. Idiots have been found hiding together in the most bizarre places because they were freaked out by a movie and they swear they heard something from over there you gotta believe them the killer is in there you can't go in oh god oh no fucking RUN-

But yeah... Don't watch a movie like I dunno Marley and Me with Roxy cause she will never ever be over it. Ever.

EDIT: YOU SAID REINFORCES WHOOPS

Yeah you're so right!! She sees that transformation and every single thing that happens to a dog in a movie afterwards hits so much harder. Sees a dog in a movie for a while after and immediately grills everyone present about what they're watching she is NOT doing this shit again lmao

[tumblingdowntheway2019]

Hellllooooo again, my beauties. I had returned as promise with the promised poll. If you have seen my earlier post yet, click here.

Or for the short version, was unwell for the past couple of month, better now. In between that time SD card got corrupted so when restoring and backing up my stuff to cloud, some old stuff emerged and it's Attack on Titan related back from when I was in high school when the Season One (1) just started. While I am working in finishing the TotK stuff first, you guys can vote what you want to see first from the AoT stuff. Please be aware that I'll be editing for grammar and add in some additional stuff now that the series is over, mainly to the fic.

So, here's what to vote for. I'll put a short description to them and number it. Let's goooo!!

One (1) - 'Bloopers.' So this was before finding out recently what Actor AU was. Back in High School, when Season One (1) released, a friend and I had these funny scenarios that would happen through our the series. Hence why we called it 'Bloopers.' Even now, I still think of some stuff that would be funny. So I can do a whole post based on each season, so that'll be four (4) loooonnnggg posts but worth it. 😂🤣

Two (2) - A fanfic focused on Pieck and Gabi. I didn't hate Gabi, I understand how it happened the way it happened. I believe Sasha would have forgiven her just like her family did. Anyway, I had a fic that explains how they became close friends. I think I had this where she knows Pieck already, but only as the human and not the Titan. It's set during the Honorary Marleyan's early days of being in battle and Porco has been the Jaw Titan for a while now. But I had Annie be able to return home too and not crystallized. Then a battle goes terribly wrong and Big Sister Pieck has to rescue her. Needs a bit of fixing up looking at it but I can make it work.

Three (3) - Fanfic. This is chapter to chapter. The current Marley Shifters spend time at the Marley Warriors School. Noone is honorary yet so there's more kids in this story. Each Shifter from Marley learn from the Shifters about the purpose of each Titan, how to defend themselves and if the Shifters are in the same chapters, they demonstrated their skills and such.

Four (4) - Fanfic. This story is actually a more serious story. It's based after Ymir gave herself up to Reiner and Berthold but before she's eaten by Porco. Porco has so many questions so he turns to the soon to be former Jaw Titan for answers.

So my question is -

[transgayhawkeyepierce]

15 questions and 15 mutuals

Thanks for tagging me @majorbaby! I’m not going to tag mostly followers I see around a lot since I don’t actually follow a ton of MASH blogs:

tagging: @jam-the-hologram, @gwenweybourne, @4-0-7-7, @bee-notes, @gramps1942, @hamiltonsteele, @wunipub, @marley-manson, @persianflaw, @kermits-cup-of-tea, @bornforastorm, @uncletrapperandaunthawkeye annnddd I’m sorry I’m running out of steam. No pressure.

Were you named after anyone?

Nah, I considered some character names for my middle and last, but ended up not going through with it.

When was the last time you cried?

Ummm, I’ve teared up while watching and reading stuff, but a genuine cry? I think over a year, couldn’t recall what it was. 

Do you have kids?

No

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

No, I’m an asshole in a different way.

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Clothes, expression on face, etc.

What’s your eye color?

Blue

Scary movies or happy endings?

Been really into horror lately tbh.

Any special talents?

I’m a very good singer. I’m probably going to have to adjust when the T kicks in. I think it’s my competence with my ear more than anything else. 

Where were you born?

I don’t feel comfortable answering this one in a specific way tbh. America. The dessert. Booooo

What are your hobbies?

Ohh boy, I’d say drawing, reading, tumblr media meta shit, baking, language learning, and lock picking - things I wouldn’t consider hobbies since I’m shit at practicing them but am still passionate about: banjo, guitar, writing, and magic tricks. I’m probably forgetting stuff, they tend to come and go.

Have any pets?

A very special kitty. Her kidneys are old and not doing so good, so she’s probably going to go this year. She’s hanging out with me as I type this.

What sports do you play/have you played?

I try to do something self defense related when I can. I’d really like to get competent at boxing. I would also love to take some dance.

How tall are you?

5′5

Favorite subject in school?

Art

Dream job?

My future feels so so up in the air rn, I’m feeling a bit paralyzed. I’ve been contemplating throwing myself into something self-sustainable, like a tattoo artist or even practicing more shit I can do to earn some tips with random crowds if it really comes down to it.. I’ve been eyeing some trade apprenticeships. Umm, but if we’re dreaming? I honestly I would really like to do something fun and social, like something in theatre for a while, improv? plays? and then move onto something less grueling and unhealthy. Maybe making elaborate art instillations, like in MeowWolf, would be really great. If we’re REALLY shooting for the moon, then a very lucky lazy investor. 

Oh I WILL say if I were to develop a magic routine, I’d really like to have a lifting element to it. It’s not the most practical with today’s clothing and items we tend to have on us, and it has the potential to make the volunteer very angry, but I’m just so ridiculously charmed by it idk.

The internship

Tw: Mentions of being sick, mentions of death

Ellery Mitchell gets invited to intern at Jurassic world. Your average stressed college student. With a love for dinosaurs. She has some family issues, and still struggles from the impacts of her disorder. :)

Ellery

The thing with being sick is it acts as a sort of crutch against the world.

Oh you didn’t do so good on that test? Its ok because your sick.

You didn’t finish that assignment. Well you were in the hospital because your sick.

But in some cases your not sick forever, or at least in my case you get better. Well better enough. Enough to the point I’m not trapped in those hospitals. All those overwhelming feelings of dread and the smell of bleach and those stupid white walls that could make anyone go crazy.

So it still acts as a crutch in some instances. Though it can be annoying because suddenly everyone around you treats you like your made of glass. They walk on egg shells around you and everyone is suddenly so sorry for you as if being sick makes you more important but less of a normal person.

Well, news flash just because I’m sick doesn’t mean I’m incompetent, or that I’m stupid. There’s no need to treat me differently.

So I was thankful to have that crutch for a while, it got me out of stuff. But that crutch started feeling more like a thorn in my side then a soft pillow to land on.

Because being sick could mean almost dying.

I didn’t care at first. I didn’t really think about it. I kind of just stopped trying for everything at that point. It felt like I had lost so much, I lost who I was, I lost my brother, I hadn’t seen my dad in so long. But my mom, she was still around, and seeing the look on her face everyday as I just got worse and worse. That hurt, more then losing my brother, then not seeing my dad.

 I realized that she also lost her son, and hadn’t seen her husband in forever. I wasn’t the only one suffering and I felt like I was being selfish. So I started trying for her. I slowly got better and graduated my senior year. I was able to walk that stage with a smile on my face as my mom quite literally screamed from the stands.

So if I have learned anything from my experiences its that if you have an opportunity to do something with your life, you have to take it. Which is exactly how I ended up here.

 Well not yet at least. I've been given the opportunity of a life time. An island off the coast of costa Rica. Yes this may sound familiar, Jurassic park? Ringing any bells? Anyways I've been invited to work as an intern at this island called Nalo island, I hate to say it but its not very original. Seriously rich people are so creative.

 Mr. Marley Sato, one of, if not the richest men on the planet who just so happens to love science and looking after the planet has bought an island to fund science programs and build a theme park just like in the Jurassic park movies. Now you would think by now that we all have learned what a bad idea that is, but I’m not even gonna lie, I love the idea and if I weren’t given an invitation to go work there for two weeks I would still spend every penny I have to go anyway.

So here I am on my last day on the main land before I had off for two weeks on an internship to a technically mystery island. Mr.Sato has done a great job of keeping everything happening out there a secret, so I’m really in for a surprise when I get there. Though for my last day this is really shaping up to be a crazy good bye party.

Well its not really a good by party, I really only have one friend here on campus but I like to think I get along with people ok. Phoebe my dormmate is seriously a Monica, if you don’t know what that means I don’t know what to tell you. Essential because of her I've had my bags packed for this trip a good week ahead of time. Though she’s supposed to be the one taking me there and I’m not quite sure where she is.

She’s way over protective of me, like a big sister or even like my mom so its rare to get a moment away from her, don’t get me wrong I love her and all but having two of my mom basically can be suffocating. Its nice though, to know someone cares so much about you.

Phoebe left me briefly because I guess a professor or someone had something for her and she said she would meet me in a second. Well within said “second” the fire alarm goes off and everyone starts to go insane. You know they basically train us since elementary school how to handle a fire drill but I guess we never learn.

I guess we all just assumed it was another fire drill so we all ushered out of the buildings into the court yard were its started to snow.

And to say I was shocked would be a huge understatement, I’m not really sure what to describe it. But the last thing I expected on my last day was for the science building to be on fire.

So I’m just gonna acknowledge it as my going away party.

I make my way over to one of the benches in the court yard, one that���s about 100-200 yards away from the science building. It’s the recommended safe distance a person should stand from a burning building just in case it collapses or explodes, though I don’t think this is anything serious. Everyone is just over reacting. 

I can hear the sound of sirens in the distance and scan the crowd for phoebe. Were gonna have to leave here before the fire trucks get here otherwise it will be a pain trying to get out of here with them and anybody else on campus trying to leave for the holiday break.

That’s another great thing about this trip, because as much as I would love to spend Christmas break at home with my mom, I know she'll be working at the hospital for most of it anyway. So lucky me ill get out of shoveling snow for two whole weeks.

 I feel like snow is one of those things that if you live somewhere that doesn’t get snow often you wish for it and you think its like this wonderful thing.

As a kid I get it, waking up in the mornings to your yard covered in a nice blanket of just white. And as a kid its like the official start to winter time which means Christmas and no school.

I can tell you snow is not all that its cracked up to be, as a kid I will admit it was nice, but as you get older its just annoying honestly. Having to spend hours out in temperatures that are way below what’s comfortable, and don’t even get me started on the shoveling bit. You’ll spend twenty minutes at tops out there before your toes and fingers are numb.

Though due to my past conditions mom doesn’t really like me spending to much time outside if its cold, also doesn’t help that the only shoes I wear are converse, which sadly have absolutely no grip. So if I do have to shovel or go outside in winter basically I have a super high risk of slipping and falling on my ass. I've done it more times then I can count.

Considering phoebe is basically a carbon copy of my mom with how protective she is over me you would think she would be ushering me inside somewhere or towards her car so we can get going. But its been a good couple minutes and there’s still no sign of her. To be completely honest I would not be surprised if she decided to stop and flirt with the new girl in our English class.

I feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket, I don’t even get a chance to pull it out to check it before I’m being tackled to the ground in a bear hug. I hit the ground with a soft thud thanks to the snow but I can still feel all the air leave my chest for a second. I cough recognizing phoebes signature perfume. She always puts to much on in the mornings and it can be suffocating.

“Omg, Ellery I thought you died or something, don’t do that to me, I leave for one second and come back and the schools going insane” She moves to get up before giving me a hand up as well. We brush the snow off ourselves and not a second later she’s taking my hand and leading me towards the parking lot.

 “Sorry, I was gonna wait but then the fire alarms went off and everyone just started rushing outside I guess I got swept up with them.”

Phoebe is a step ahead of me and I know if it weren’t for me she would be practically power walking to the parking lot. Its just who she is, once she’s got her mind set to something there’s practically no one who can get in her way.

“Gosh do you know what your mom would do to me if I lost you, you know what don’t answer that I know what she would do. She would kill me, I almost lost you once the time I took you to a concert and she just about had my neck” I laugh, she’s slowed her pace so she’s not really dragging me anymore, instead we’re side by side. So I can see her keys hanging from one finger, swinging back and forth making a jingling sound as they do.

I hate driving but I've always loved the satisfaction of having a lanyard with a thing of keys to make noise as you walk.

“Trust me I know, because she lectured me on it afterword, but come on Phoebe We were both already 18 when that happened sometimes her overprotectiveness can be a little over bearing.”

I feel her give my hand a squeeze as she looks my way, that concerning mother smile on her face that she pulls off perfectly, must be from all those times she used to babysit.

“You know she only does that because she loves you, your practically all she has left since you guys never see your dad” I let out a sigh, seeing my breathe in the air again, she’s right, I know that.

“I know” I just wish dad was around more often, maybe then some of my moms attention would go somewhere else, I guess that’s what working at the hospital does for her.

“Come on Ellery don’t get all sappy on me we’re supposed to be excited, your finally gonna do this!” I cant help but smile, I don’t want to get my hopes up but I cant help it.

“Well we don’t technically know that only one of us is supposed to get the job”

 “They always say that its like a business thing or what ever you don’t know what the other people are gonna be like, you all might be great and he’ll have no choice but to hire all of you” She’s always super optimistic, it would be awesome if more then one of us got to have an official spot there.

Me and five other students across the US are interning on Nalo island for two weeks and after words Mr.Sato will choose one of us to officially work on the island.

“Well in a perfect world that’s how it would go, but we don’t live in a perfect world Phoeb’s” God if only we lived in a perfect world.

 Phoebe spins so fast her hand still in mine, to glare at me, not a real glare or anything like she’s actually mad, she just hates when I point out the flaws in all her optimism.

“Ellery Mitchell if you don’t stop with the negativity then, then, then I’ll have no choice but to ,” She pauses brining the hand holding her keys to tap at her lips. The wind blowing her shoulder length dirty blonde hair around her face and she swats it away.

Then her eyes widen and she has a big mischievous grin on her face and I know this cant be anything good. “I’ll have no choice but to not allow you to have anymore milkshakes and I’ll eat all your Chinese food and I wont let you see cuddles for a whole week!” I laugh bringing my unoccupied hand to rub down my face.

God I love her and I don’t know what I would do without her but sometimes I wonder what she would do without me.

“Phoeb’s you do realize ill be gone for two whole weeks. So technically when I get back your little restrictions will be over.” I say tilting my head to the side to watch her brain slowly catch up her furrowed eye brows shooting up at the realization.

“Well, that is so unfair” Her shoulders slouching as she tugs at my arm to continue our trek to her car.

Phoebe drives a supe nice classic red mustang, I don’t know anything else like a make or year or what ever I don’t understand cars. But she sure understands cars, one of her dads works as a mechanic and they even have their own vehicle repair shop that me and her hung out at last summer.

It’s a great hangout and its right across the street from a dinner so we would go there grab food for the two of us plus extra for her dad and anyone else who wanted food.

We climb in and it starts up with a nice hum. I never really understood people with the fancy sports cars before until I drove around with phoebe in hers.

Since its my last day before I leave phoebe decided we go out to eat first after she asked if I was cool with it like fifty times. She takes off going 10-15 miles over the speed limit.

 Getting food with phoebe is always fun, it makes me forget about the world around me. It makes the time fly literally, which is why she’s currently clinging to me crying. “But I’m not ready for you to go, ill miss you so much!” I laugh tears in the corners of my own eyes.

“Its only two weeks phoebe ill be back in no time” I rub my hand over her back as she continues to bury her face into my chest.

"I know but still, you promise you’ll text me all the time and take loads of pictures” She sniffles finally moving her face away from me to look up with puppy dog eyes and her bottom lip jutting out.

“Here,” I move to push her gently away from me so she’s finally back to her full height, I stick my pinky finger out to her.

“See I pinky promise that I will be perfectly fine, and that ill text you all the I time and send you a bunch of pictures” Though I say it out loud doesn’t mean I fully believe it myself. I’m so nervous because I don’t know who the other people are or what's waiting for me out there.

She smiles sadly and links her pinky with mine. “Fine pinky promise, but promise me that if anything goes wrong you wont be stupid” I look at her, and the look on her face is something I've never seen before, she’s so serious, and it makes a tear slide down my cheek.

The serious look on her face disappears as she unlinks our pinkies to wipe the tear off my cheek. ‘”Oh sweetheart its ok, its just I know you and never mind that just also promise me you’ll have fun and you wont worry about anything back here.” I smile and one again we link pinkies going to press our thumbs together to seal our promises.

She pauses and pulls her thumb away from mine. “Wait are we sure this is the last promise, we’ve just made like five in the last minute” We both laugh as I nod and she smiles big, we both press our thumbs together.

“Ok good you better not try and make anymore promises before you leave because I’m not doing that a third time missy” She says crossing her arms.

“Yes that’s the last promise. I promise” I smile at her as she rolls her eyes at me turning her back to me waving me off. “Oh gone on already wont yuh” I hear her voice crack as she does, I feel my eyes start to water again, I go to walk away but I cant. I run back to phoebe leaving my bags to hug her one last time before I leave.

Its only two weeks I tell myself.

ahhhhhh, omg so uhm that's the first chapter I wrote for this story, i really hope its ok and not to bad

i promise it gets better :')

[hbogirls]

1, 8, 11, 18, 24, 36, 39, 62? 😊

omg yay thank you for sending these!

Favorite original club member? santana!! my #1 girlie of all time. a mean girl hiding a heart of gold and a bundle of insecurities who is given the time and grace to grow into herself? well yes!

8. Character you’re indifferent about? tina tbh. even when the glee club was smaller in season one, it felt like they were running out of things to do with her, and that problem only worsens as more characters are added over the course of the series. there's just simply not much going on there, to the point that i often feel like when people try to assign depth to her in fanon it rings hollow. there's nothing really to hate, but there's also nothing to really love or cling to imo.

11. Character that deserves better? quinn!!!! omg they abandoned my poor girl after season 2. there's clearly sooo many interesting things going on under the surface with her and they chose to couple her up with puck and call it a day?? she didn't even make it to the double gay wedding episode! those were her best friends! this is not to mention the fact that when quinn gets a chance to be funny, dianna consistently pulls it off and delivers comedic lines perfectly. they made her be so sad all the time!! where is the levity? conversely, where is the exploration of what they set up to be a truly oppressive home life? i know that a show of that size and scope can't possibly address every aspect of every character (it would be deeply annoying if it did) (and actually i think that's why there always has been such an active fan community around the show-- there's a lot of gaps to fill in), but with quinn they actually took the time to set so much stuff up that if they had followed up on even 3% of it, i would've been perfectly content. but alas!

18. Favorite noncanon couple? faberry! my official position on them is that quinn was fully in love with rachel for like.. most of the series, and that rachel didn't understand that/recognize that/reciprocate that until sometime post-canon, but, whether it's intentional in the text or not, there's a very rich faberry tapestry there. i mean you were singing that song to finn and only finn, right? hello??

24. What ship is completely underrated? i was gonna say samcedes, but i think people actually do like them a lot, so i will go with the truly hidden gem that is artie/kitty. somehow their respective brands of bitterness neutralized each other, and it was very cute and charming

36. Top 3 duets? lucky, brave, and be okay

39. Top 3 group numbers? tongue tied, just the way you are (the billy joel cover, not the bruno mars one), and you learn/you've got a friend

62. If you were head writer for Glee, what’s one thing you would’ve done differently? not to sound like mark wahlberg talking about 9/11, but season 4 wouldn't have gone down the way it did if i was there. if you're insisting on introducing new people to an already massive cast, at least act like you care about them a little! when ryder and marley talk to each other (and ryder and jake too tbh) it sounds like ai wrote a conversation between troubled teens. so if there had to be new people, i, as showrunner, would have insisted that even a modicum of effort was put into their stories. BUT i think actually if i had it my way, the new people added to hit the glee club magic number 12 would've been extras. there's already a big enough main cast, we don't need to be adding several half-assed arcs that no one cares about on top of that. what they did was try to split the difference between caring about the new people and making them accessories to the old people, and all they did was create a bunch of scenes to be fast-forwarded through. tv writing is hard though, i get it.

[melishade]

Z-King: Hey in the human kids Trio AU do you think Eren would be jealous around Jack after hearing some the things Jack did including being trusted with the Key to Vector Sigma and heard from Miko and Ralf that Ratchet said Jack was a lot like Optimus?

TFP Kids Part 1

TFP Kids Part 2

Hm...I think it would be a mixed reaction. Because Eren was already aware of Jack, Miko, and Raf before they arrived to the AOP world in this timeline. Optimus told Eren about Earth and them in one of the Oneshot chapters on Ao3. Megatron alludes to them during the coup when he and Eren are having that fight. Megatron calls them a threat, and he believes it. Hell, Jack had the chance to kill him in the mine but chose not to.

But I think that Eren would be jealous of all three kids for different reasons. Not because Jack got entrusted the key to Vector Sigma, Miko killing an Insecticon by herself, or Raf giving Decepticon tech experts the run around.

No, he'd be jealous of them, because they are living the freest lives possible! Jack, Miko, and Raf are from a world where titans don't exist. There's no Marley or Eldia. They live in a place where food is not only in abundance, but even in excess. Miko wasn't even born in the US. She's from another continent. On top of that, they get to know someone as amazing as Optimus and even help end a war. But he gets to know them and he thinks they're amazing. It's just hard to be jealous of someone like them, but compared to the island, he thinks that they live in a paradise.

As the 104th and the kids are bonding, Eren kind of does bring it up as a pass in thought, saying that they must be living a life so grand and amazing. And then, to Eren's surprise, they all start busting out laughing.

"Look, buddy, we love our home!" Miko cackled, "But it's not all it's cracked up to be!"

"But there are no titans, no one threatening to destroy you because of who you are-,"

"Even when there is no massive threats to our home like titans, or even Megatron, humanity is it's own worst enemy," Jack explained, "Racism, sexism, climate change, nuclear warfare."

"Defunding of the arts, censorship in media, right-wing ass hats-!"

"Miko, take a breath," Jack interrupted her, earning a scowl from the human Wrecker.

"The displacement of thousand upon thousands of people due to the overall greed of capitalism," Rafael continued, "People are either forced out of their homes or have no choice but to flee, and a select few people have billions of dollars that they don't need."

"After my dad left us, me and my mom were living paycheck to paycheck for a time," Jack explained, "I had to learn to grow up and be responsible so she didn't have to worry about me. I even got a job because I didn't want to ask her for stuff and bother her with things when she already has enough to deal with."

"It's shit like this that kinda makes you think to just let the Decepticons destroy us," Miko proclaimed as she took a sip of her wine, "It's not like humans were making Earth better anyway!"

"We...we had no idea," Armin spoke.

"It's fine," Jack said, "We all just have our own set of problems. Just because one place has more, doesn't mean that they have it all together. Hell, we thought the Autobots were amazing when we first met them, but we met them when they were at war. An advanced civilization like them was at war. No one place is perfect. We're always fighting about something."

Eren has to privately re-examine his own assumptions about them and about Earth after that.

when and why did society decide that reading old literature was “boring” and “uncool”. i have so much goddamn fun reading old literature. you don’t even underSTAND! like sure with the language used it’s sometimes hard to wrap your head around but once you get the hang of it it’s almost… as cool as if not cooler than modern storytelling in a way? like. this is where we get the basis for most of our ideas. english class made this stuff compulsory because it’s GOOD and it BLAZED THE TRAIL FOR WRITING AND LITERARY DISCOVERIES. they’re classics for a REASON! and not to mention sometimes! they’re so goddamn funny! like. in the original 1843 novella a christmas carol written by charles dickens, he calls jacob marley as dead as a doornail, and then proceeds to go on a whole little rant on the first page about how he doesn’t really understand what is so dead about a doornail, and if he had to pick the deadest kind of nail it would probably be a coffin nail, but he thinks that fact doesn’t really matter because the wisdom of our ancestors are in those words and if his unsacred hands touch them the country is doomed. so he will just continue to call jacob marley as dead as a doornail. like. not only is that so silly of him. that’s also strangely profound! like! hello! i encourage everybody who sees this book to just. recreationally start reading a piece of classic and/or old literature. shakespeare plays, moby dick, a christmas carol, whatever. just read it and marvel in how far we have come as humans and how amazing it is that even after coming so far we still have so much to learn from our past and the writing in it. anyway. rant over. just needed to get this OFF MY CHEST!

lol so I was basically just about to write this take on The Price again with slightly more intrigued thoughts wrt Potter and I decided to check who wrote it and found out he’s the same guy who wrote Your Retention Please (and one season 2 ep) and nothing else in the show.

So congratulations to me for saying that Your Retention Please felt like a sequel to The Price, totally called it.

Makes me want to draw comparisons even more. Like it’s basically the same plot except Potter and the war hero in the Price are replaced by the smarmy recruitment officer in Your Retention Please wrt convincing someone to enlist in the army. I mean, I looked the writer up and he does very much seem like the type of guy to write overtly political anti-draft yet ultimately Some Army Good stories lol, so it’s probably not that deep, but man, it still works so well as a parallel.

Especially with the Price being so thematically contradictory - like tbf Your Retention Please makes a pretty coherent some army good statement in having Potter side with Hawkeye and save Klinger at the end, but The Price is pretty much just two dueling subplots with no resolution, and especially with Potter threatening Klinger with jail time in it like, it just feels like a pointed way of undercutting the sense of heroic nobility throughout the rest of his plot, in line with Hawkeye’s side of the story. Like if you’re at all aware of your political messaging idk how you accidentally write that, and if your only 2 contributions to Mash after one season 2 episode are the same plot about Hawkeye trying to save someone from being entrapped by the army, you’ve gotta be at least somewhat aware.

Idk, at the very least these two episodes would make a good, slightly frustrating double feature.
