not y'all eren/rumbling stans defending a fictional g*nocide just when there's an ACTUAL g*nocide ongoing smfh

[thunder-pierogi]

This is like 70% of my main cast and I’m not even into an outline yet.

Creating new character

Who can relate?

[httpxxg]

I find it really rude to some people say that they don't care about Gege's jjk exhibition and only care about wanting Gojo back

Okay i get it that it's really upsetting that our favorite character is officially not coming back but saying some stuff like they don't care about Gege having a jjk exhibition and only want Gojo to comeback is beyond fuck up for me because like seriously???? Tbh Gege deserve this because of how wonderful and tragically beautiful jjk is needed to be shown and how beautiful his hardwork and his team did so they deserve to have this exhibition and i don't like seeing authors getting the hate saying they don't deserve this and their work is shitty like what happened to Isayama and besides the jjk exhibition for gege is important because he said he's goal is to make visitors to think they can draw too and that's really heart melting for me and some artists that given up on art.

To some people please be respectful and be mindful of what you guys are saying, and i think y'all not even appreciating jjk storyline much and just focusing on Gojo wanting to comeback is too much.

For artists, having an exhibition is like having a dream come true, so I can't help but talk about it. Exhibitions are essential resources for artists working at any level. They enable you to exhibit your work in front of a viewing public so that others can see and enjoy it. Exhibitions frequently provide a great way to interact with visitors and Gege's goal is wanting for visitors to think they can draw manga too.

my favorite thing will always be domestic levi.

- waking up & seeing him buttoning his shirt in the mirror, having already showered before you due to his inability to sleep in.

- dragging him back into bed with you cus it’s barely 7:30 in the morning and you have all day with nothing to do.

- showering together, gently washing his hair and him kissing your shoulder and wrapping his arms around you from behind.

- him not knowing how to cook very well, but he can make good tea. you stick to the cooking, and he makes drinks. always.

- after the war, he’s not used to so much peace and quiet. he’d always been used to tons of work, always running around, and almost no downtime. most of the time, he has no idea what to do with himself. he found that he enjoys reading a LOT.

- he was very iffy on retiring at first, and it did take a lot of convincing before he finally decided it was time to leave the military and what it did to him in the past. he doesn’t cry a lot, but when he does, he cries hard. almost 40 years of pent-up trauma and emotion will do that to a man, even one as tough as him.

- you & him go to visit erwin and hange’s graves at least twice a month, and you find it slightly heartbreaking that he talks to them, the same way he did when they were alive. quiet and short conversations with what he hopes is their ghosts. you find yourself grabbing his hand and squeezing it when he starts getting shaky.

- sometimes when you can tell he’s in a bad mood, you say you need a hug, but it’s really him that needs it. he doesn’t like asking for affection, so it’s a way to help him get over a bump in the road.

- as most people say, he’s not big on pda, and it’s true, but he will hold your pinkies together when it’s crowded. you’ll think it’s because he doesn’t wanna lose you in the crowd, but he’s so short that he’ll be the one getting lost 💀

- with that being said, he hates it when you poke fun at his height. it’s not that he’s insecure about it, he just finds it annoying that that’s one of the first things people notice about him.

nsfw

- i’m a firm believer in levi with a slight size kink. as isayama said, levi just likes tall people. i think he’d like it if you were able to manhandle him, toss him around, pin him to the bed, shit like that.

- he’s definitely a switch. he’s the softest dom - he’s experienced too much hurt in his life to hurt you in any way - and he’s the most adorable sub.

- when he’s the dom, he’ll be gentle with you. slowly pushing into you, stopping and giving you little breaks if you need them. never degrading, always the sweetest words coming from him. he groans a lot, frequently but quiet enough to where it’s just you that can hear it.

- when he’s the sub, he loves hates being teased. he’s a little embarrassed to beg, but he will if he needs it bad enough. he almost always cries a little, now matter how nice or mean you’re being. definitely louder as a sub, more whiny.

- it doesn’t matter if he’s the dom or sub, he will hold your hand. never fucks without your fingers laced with his. when he’s on top, he’ll have both hands on the sides of your head, holding yours gingerly. it works vice-versa.

- going back to the hurt thing, he’ll never hurt you. BUT. he does like biting. him biting you, you biting him, doesn’t matter. he does it pretty soft, though, but just hard enough to leave marks (very territorial tbh).

erwin x hange: as i was writing this post the thought occurred to me that someone might ship this and it caused me physical pain but if you ship this ig you’re cool cause i’ve never seen this ship at all so therefore i’ve never been attacked by one of you online so congrats🥳 but they’re not canon cos literally not one soul ships them so whatever

eruri: is this the right name cause ship names in this fandom go crazy sometimes. anyways these the gayest mfs i’ve ever seen and the only reason they’re not canon is cause erwin had to die. doomed ships for the win😻 but you KNOW levi was getting some behind the scenes, cmon y’all

jearmin: hajime isayama is a coward

jeanmarco: gonna be honest, i did not give two shits when marco died. idk how this is a popular ship since marco got clapped in like episode 3. i mean i can see it ig but to me they just look like friends (and that’s probably what isayama was thinking too)

beruannie: one-sided as fuck

erehisu: historia is a lesbian (“oH bUt wHaT aBoUt tHe fArMeR???” she needed a sperm donor and he was the closest one they are not in love)

jeankasa: eremika solos, sorry, mikasa will always love eren (stay sour jean✌🏼)

Until The End (Levi x Reader)- Chapter 27

[Your Embrace]

_____ A/N: Posted on Wattpad (@CLARE_875) but also decided to post here :)

Summary: "You can push me away, but I will still fight by you, and I will still follow you… until the end."

The ever-so-stoic Levi Ackerman has only ever known the terrors that living in a cruel world could bring. This all changed one fateful day when he encountered [y/n]; a girl renowned for her looks and abnormal speed. As they escape the confines of the Underground together, they soon discover that freedom doesn't come easy in a world full of Titans. As they rise through the ranks, [y/n] becomes known as "Humanity's Angel", a beacon of hope to humanity as she melts the walls Levi had built around his heart. However, she has her secrets too, and a dark past that might just threaten to pull them apart.

The storyline and characters of Attack on Titan do NOT belong to me, but all to Hajime Isayama; however, I do own this story, and all that occurs disparate to that storyline.

[Series Masterlist] [Chapter Twenty-Six] <--> [Chapter Twenty-Eight] _____

The silence is thick, air palpable as Levi looks down to see you there, on the boat. It is you right? Not another hallucination? Not another fucked up dream? Really you? Levi can do nothing but stare silently as though in a trance, eyes not once leaving yours.

Yelena calls to the Anti-Marleyan volunteers around her telling them to bring the Marleyan soldiers off the ship to the shore. Hange finally reacts turning to Levi, who still hasn't recovered from his shock. "Levi..." They mutter but stop in surprise as they look to see that tears have filled Levi's eyes. A sight they had never seen before. You break eye contact first, following Yelena and the others off the ship, as the other Scouts in the area also notice your presence and bound over to you. Levi finally breaks free from his reverie as he turns to Hange who looks at him silently. "Oi... Hange... you see her too right... that's... [y/n]?" Hange nods, as they see a lone tear slip down his cheek. 

You approach the shore, Yelena calling for the Volunteers to follow her as they walk to a distance, but you turn as yells and sobs fill the air. 

"Captain [y/n]!!" 

"You're okay!!" 

"We thought you died!!" 

"We thought we'd never see you again!!" 

"We're so sorry!!" 

You feel your heart warm at the sight of the Scouts running towards you as Jean, Connie and Sasha go to embrace you, immediately crying their hearts out. Armin and even Mikasa stand in front of you tears in their eyes as they look to you in complete and utter relief. You let out an emotional laugh, your own tears flowing down your cheeks as you look to your squad. Your Squad, here with you. "What, you guys miss me or something," you smile as they continue to shout out in their relief and apologies. You frown half-heartedly as Jean speaks of his apologies the most, "I-I'm so sorry Captain!" He yells out. "I-It was my fault that day... if I had just told you to kill Reiner in the first place-" You cut him off swiftly as you pat his head gently. "What are you saying? Of course, it's not your fault," You say in a soft but authoritative tone. "We all let our guard down that day, I don't blame you, or anybody." 

They continue to sob until they tire themselves out. Eren joins you as well after a moment, transforming out of his Titan, also exclaiming in relief. You look at him in surprise, he had grown so much since you left, they all had. But you saw something different in Eren's eyes. It was like he knew something you all didn't. You give them all a hug and continue to comfort them as they finally accept that you are in fact, still alive and that their beloved Captain has come home. They only reluctantly pull away when they hear the fast pace of footsteps approach you. Your eyes widen as you see Hange's leaping form approach you. "[y/n]~!!!" They crash into you, causing the both of you to topple into the sand. The Scouts around you start to smile and laugh at the sight of you struggling with a sobbing Hange. 

"[y/n]!!" They continue to yell, tears streaming down their face. "I knew you were alive!! I knew you weren't dead!!" They continue to ramble on and on about how they knew you would survive, how they had believed in you and missed you all this time. Your tears continue to pour as you grip onto them tightly. You had missed Hange. When you finally pull away, however, you are met with a sight you had waited to see for so long. The man you had waited a year for. Levi. Hange slowly stands up, relief finally sufficing their system, as you also stand up on the sandy shore. 

Hange looks between you and Levi, seeing you both staring silently at each other. They have a knowing look on their features as they call to the squad, who look curiously at the suddenly tense atmosphere. Hange takes the squad members away from the shore back to their makeshift campsite, as they get ready to meet with Yelena and the rest of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers. But you could scarcely care. There is silence in the air as the rowdy voices of your squad members fade into the distance. It's so silent you can hear the lull of the waves hitting the shore and retreating into the ocean. It was just you and him now alone on the shoreline, and suddenly you felt a wave of nerves fill you. It had been a year, what would he say to you? Would he be angry? Would he be happy? Would he even want you back? 

Tears prick your eyes as you divert your gaze from the man in front of you who still is rooted on the spot, frozen before you. His eyes look to you blankly and yet full of such deep emotion all at the same time. "Levi..." You mutter, voice cracking slightly as you look at the sand in front of you. "I-I'm sorry. I wanted to come back to you earlier, I swear I did! But... it was all too much, and I had to wait a year and I'm sorry but... but I missed you so much and-" Your rambles fill the air nonstop as you try to apologise and yet express the sorrow you felt in his absence for what felt like a lifetime. Levi watches you silently struggle, tears pouring down your face, but your voice is muffled to him as he looks at you. His angel returned to him. 

"Levi, I'm so sorr-" 

You're cut off by a warm pair of lips on your own. Your eyes flutter closed as he moves against you softly before the kiss becomes more passionate; more heated. The both of your hearts thrum to life at the other's touch, something you both had so missed, something you both had been torturously deprived of. His trembling hands move to your waist as he pulls you impossibly closer. Your hands move from your side, moving up his torso before grasping gently yet so desperately at his raven locks, holding onto him like it was the last thing you'd ever do. The kiss is warm and the kiss is wet, as both of your tears mingle down your cheeks, lost in your joy and your sorrow. You pull away gasping for breath as he does the same, tears still streaming down your face, the both of you still in the other's embrace. 

"Y-you're alive," Levi stutters looking into your eyes before pulling you against his body and welcoming your familiar fragrance. You nod against his chest as you hold onto him, arms tight against his torso. You stay there for a long moment before pulling away, Levi quickly grasping onto one of your hands as though he couldn't bear to be out of your hold for longer than a second. He uses the other hand to caress your face, gently pushing away a strand of your hair before his sharp grey eyes scan your features in relief. "Did they hurt you?" He asks, his voice barely a whisper above the wind, but you shake your head trying to ease the worry that caused a crease between his brows. "I'm okay." You say, wiping his tears with your free hand. You frown slightly at his slightly paler completion even in the dim light of the moon, how he looks so much more exhausted than usual, how his face seems more hollow somehow. 

"Have you been looking after yourself, Levi?" You pout softly looking at him as he averts his gaze before looking back to you. You see the turmoil in his eyes reflect your own as he observes how you also seem more tired than usual, smaller than usual too. You lean into his touch but your eyes don't leave the other. Levi avoids your question but instead says something that tells you all you need to know about the unrest he went through without you by his side. The despair he so desperately tried and failed to hide among prying eyes was presented before you. "I love you," he mutters under his breath, only for you to hear. Your heart hammers against your chest at his proclamation. "Never leave me alone, again." More tears fall onto your face as he catches them on his fingertips before pulling you in for a brief, gentle kiss. When you pull away you smile up at him, a real genuine smile, it had been so long since you felt the bliss. 

Levi looks at you, awe betraying his eyes as your angelic features upturn into the sight he had longed for. "I love you too, Levi," you say caressing his face. "And I'm not leaving you, not ever again." You watch as solace takes over the pain that Levi had endured for so long. His own lips upturn into a gentle smile; your favourite scene in the world. The both of you could stay there holding the other's hand, embracing the other's warmth and looking into the other's eyes for millennia. But, unfortunately, reality catches up to you, as the voice of Hange rings through from a distance, "Hey, love-birds, I'm sorry but we're going to have to start the interrogation soon! [y/n], they're also asking for you, said you knew what this was all about!" 

Hange's voice causes Levi to turn to them, annoyance now clouding his face. But you simply laugh at the familiar sight, before replying to Hange putting your free hand in the air. "We'll be right there Hange!" You yell before you turn to Levi, squeezing his hand gently. You let out a giggle as you smile up at his obvious bitterness. "What?" You say, but the sight of you, laughing and smiling and present with him, almost instantly melts his features.  He shakes his head before tugging your hand with his own pulling the both of you across the shore and to the makeshift campsite the Scouts have readied by the ocean. Only this time, when others look at the both of you inquisitively, Levi doesn't let go of your hand in his. 

..... 

You sit next to Levi who sits next to Hange, while Yelena and another Anti-Marleyan Volunteer, Onyankopon, sits opposite the table in front of you. The four of you observe as Hange looks at the pistol you presented them, and the multiple bullets stored within it. "Ah, I see! That's how it shoots a bunch!" Hange exclaims in awe as they look at the weapon. "That's standard issue in Marley," Yelena speaks up from in front of them, holding a cup of tea in her hand. "The Marley army has 20,000 soldiers per division. With 50 divisions, that's 1,000,000 soldiers. There's also the navy with three fleets each comprised of 21 battleships. They've made tremendous progress in new weapons and aerial warfare as well." There is a deep silence before Hange speaks up from next to Levi. "Aerial...?" 

"In other words, vehicles allowing one to attack the enemy from the sky," Onyankopon speaks up as he looks to Hange. At his words, Hange stood up in shock. "Huh?! From the sky?!" Levi maintains the irritated look on his face unliking the way Hange makes them look weak and unintelligible next to those in Marley. "If Marley had such capabilities this whole time, why haven't they attacked in over a year?" You nod at Hange’s words before speaking up, looking at the cup of tea in front of you and swirling it periodically in small motions. "There are two main reasons," you say, as everyone's eyes now turn to you. "One being the Pure Titans released here. Even with the latest weapons they would hinder a land assault. They were used as a tool to confine us Eldians within the walls, but in turn, they've also protected us from invasion." 

You look up to see Levi's eyes sharp in the glowing lights as he meets your gaze, there was such irony of the situation you have found yourselves in. "Though dawn is coming soon, and that's when the Titans are active," Yelena says from across the table. "But if we're way out here, sipping tea outside the walls..." You turn to Levi and Hange in shock finishing Yelena's sentence. "You must've killed all the Titans roaming around." There is a tense silence in the air as Yelena stares intently at the two Scouts in front of her. "Is that true?" Levi interrupts quickly, uncertainty in his eyes. "And what if it is? You gonna report that to Marley?" But he is met with a look of astonishment and admiration as Yelena replies. "No, it blows away my expectations." 

"And what's the second reason?" Hange asks turning back to you. You reply instantly meeting their curious gaze. "Currently, Marley is at war with multiple nations. They can't be bothered with Paradis. You defeated the Warrior unit, the pride of Marley, and captured two of their main weapons, the Colossal and Female Titans. Marley's many enemies took notice and were quick to unite and declare war." Hange then turns back to Yelena and Onyankopon, understanding the intent behind your words. "If you guys are secret agents who infiltrated Marley, I'm guessing you came from conquered nations?" The two look at Hange, a grim expression on their faces. "Oh, I'm right?! If you're going up against Marley, I bet you've got big backers!" 

Yelena puts down her cup of tea, it clinking against the saucer on the table. "We're not secret agents or anything of the sort," she says eyes screwed onto the details of the table in front of her, and Onyankopon looks at her, the same look on his face. "We were powerless. Marley took our homes and forced us to be soldiers. We were close to losing hope of ever striking back... Until we met him. A Titan that people of the world feared, calling it a devil. But I saw something completely different..." Yelena's face now morphs into one of insatiable awe. "A god. One that gave hope to the powerless." Her face returns to one that is neutral, but the gleam in her eyes remains. "Under Zeke Jaeger's command, we shot our superiors and returned your Captain to you. We're the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers. Our goal: to free the Eldian people." 

Hange turns to you shock brimming their eyes but you don't meet their gaze. "Does that mean [y/n]... you... you're working with Zeke as well?" You tense as you release your hold on your tea. You were afraid this would happen. "Hange..." Levi threatens darkly as he looks at your troubled face. "You saw it too Levi... [y/n], you're related to him, aren't you, you're a Fritz," Hange says neutral voice echoing through the silent air. You don't meet their burning stare as you speak up after a moment. "That's right..." you say, voice soft as you feel the suddenly tense atmosphere. "I am related to him, my father is a Fritz, I'm descended from royal blood and Zeke is technically my cousin." You let out a sigh. "But I never said I was working with him. I only needed his help to return here in exchange for a favour." 

You turn hesitantly to meet the faces of Levi and Hange who look at you curiously but at least not in distrust. "He left me with his demands, in exchange for the help he wants to provide us. He has a plan, though he wouldn't even tell me what it was. He wants the founding Titan, Eren, he needs him for his plan to take place because the Founding Titan needs to be in contact with a Titan of royal blood. I'm not saying I trust him completely, but I think there's credit in what he's saying. There was a moment, the instant when Eren was temporarily able to use the Founding Titan's powers because he was in contact with me... someone of royal blood and a [l/n], who turns out to be a family, the product of Titan experiments." You meet Levi's unsettled gaze at the proclamation, along with a face of realisation. 

"As I said, I don't know what his plan is, but I am sure there is truth in what he's saying, that having The Founding Titan and a Titan of royal blood is necessary, along with the technological support the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers have provided. The Marleyan soldiers and government are preoccupied right now, but we don't know for how long, and their numbers and weapons strongly outweigh those available to us right now." You now turn to Hange who seems in deep contemplation. "Even if you decide to refuse to cooperate with the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, more ships are headed this way, we will need their support to hinder their attacks... you won't be able to just kill them. And... the only alternate option other than Zeke's secret plan, is the Rumbling. An attack whereby the Titans in our walls trample the Earth, killing and flattening everything on it." 

..... 

Dawn slowly starts to break on Paradis by the time all is sorted. The Marleyan soldiers that were on board the ships were restrained and to be sent back within the walls and into the cells. The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers were monitored but not restrained, as they provided Hange with valuable information. The wireless radios on board the retained ship would be useful in deterring and capturing other ships that may be sent here from Marley. Hange had also come up with a report of the information and Zeke's demands that would be presented to Dhalius Zachery, Queen Historia and the three military regiments later on. For the time being, the Scouts that were up all night were permitted a few hours of rest and you were now being tugged along by Levi who dragged you to his tent in the distance, ignoring the prying eyes of Scouts that looked to the both of you. 

When you enter, the both of you walk over to the bed in the corner of the large tent. You sit down with a deep sigh while Levi silently takes off your boots, you smile at the sight, caressing his raven locks as he looks up to you. "I missed you," you whisper as his face turns soft in your presence. He rids of his own boots and joins you on the bed, pulling you down next to him so the both of you are now lying down looking at the other. He grasps one of your hands in his own, the other pushing strands of [h/c] hair behind your ear. He simply gazes at your features lost in the beauty and the reality that you were there in front of him; that you returned. "I did too," he says as you look at him questioningly breaking free from your own thoughts. "I missed you." 

You squeeze his hand gently and softly smile, moving closer to the man who lies next to you, leaning your head against his chest as he embraces you. You listen to the soothing sound of his heartbeat against your ear. You feel the warmth and safety of being back in his arms and his presence. The exhaustion of being away from each other for so many months builds up, but sleep easily takes over you in the familiarity of his form. In the many months that you two had been together before you were taken away, it was also the same. The both of you found that sleep came easier in the other's presence; it held your dreams at bay and kept insomnia from Levi. You feel your eyes flutter shut as you let out a sigh of contentment, snuggling into his warmth. 

Levi looks down at you for a long moment, watching as your eyes close and your breaths steady. He sees the peace that surrounds your face as he holds you in his arms. Levi feels emotions cloud his eyes before he puts a soft kiss on the top of your head, feeling sleep also catch up to him in the relief that you are with him once more. The both of you finally get the rest you so desperately need. The inner sorrow and turmoil that existed in the past year apart, slowly dissipated with the knowledge that the other was safe and unharmed, as you both have a peaceful, dreamless sleep. _____

A Breakdown of how "AoT's" Final Arc Warns Against the Ideology of Fascism and Nationalism and how Eren Isn't Meant to Be Seen as Cool:

I've actually seen people claim that this scene is Isayama slipping, no joke, "secret fascist messaging" into AoT. That the sun rising in the background is meant to represent the rising sun on the flag of Imperial Japan, and that because Eren "looks cool" in this scene, we're supposed to understand that Isayama wants the audience to think Eren is cool, and imperialism is cool, too. lol,

I mean, the level of stupidity here is really beyond belief, and it's depressing how basically illiterate people are, that they come away from this story thinking this kind of dumb as hell shit. These idiots take isolated moments from the story, zero in on them, ignore all surrounding context, and scream "See! Proof that AoT is really pro-imperialist, fascist propaganda!".

Because look at the pages proceeding this:

This shot of Eren is from the perspective of Floch and the Yeagerists. And they sure think he's cool. You know why? Because they're fucking idiots who have been successfully manipulated by him into helping enact his plan to unleash a full scale Rumbling. Floch blathers on here about "restoring the Eldian Empire", how they know Eren is the "only one" who can do it, talking about their "comrades" and how they had to act because the government was planning on having someone "more agreeable" inherit the Founding Titan, meaning someone who didn't want to commit mass-genocide.

Floch is literally talking about murdering people who descent or don't agree with their movement. Murdering anybody who might get in the way of their plans. He talks about murdering Darius Zackly in order to seize control of the military. He's plainly a fanatic that's been indoctrinated into a fascistic ideology.

But Eren isn't. Eren couldn't give a shit less about the Eldian Empire or restoring it. He couldn't give a shit less about Floch's goals, or the well-being of Paradis.

This scene isn't meant to make the audience think that fascism is cool, lol. It's meant to show the audience how easily people can be manipulated into extremist, ideological movements. Eren isn't some genius. He's a total idiot. He says so himself. And yet he was easily able to manipulate Floch and his ilk into doing his bidding, under the guise of "the greater good" of their people, by playing on their feelings of anger, using it to whip them up into a sense of nationalistic pride and desire for revenge, because he knew it would drive them toward giving him control. He's literally using Floch and the other Yeagerists emotions, helping to engender these feelings in them by making him think he's the only one who can save them, so they'll help him acquire power, not because he actually gives a shit about Paradis, or the Eldian Empire, but because he wants the power for himself, to do with as he pleases. Just like all power-hungry dictators that manipulate their followers into thinking they're doing it for the good of their people, when really, it's always just about selfish-gain.

Eren isn't a nationalist. He's using a bunch of nationalists that he helped create to get the power of the Founder, so he can flatten the world and make it into the vision he had of it from Armin's book.

And Eren knows the Yeagerists are no good. He knows leaving Paradis in their hands, in the hands of a bunch of assholes who kill anyone who opposes them and who's entire philosophy is fueled by hatred and rage, isn't going to save the island or bring about peace. That's how you know Eren isn't doing this to save Paradis. Because he's willing to sacrifice the island and its residents to the control of a bunch of horrible people that will inevitably lead the island into more conflict and death, just so he can act out his own, childhood dream of "freedom".

And finally, this panel of Eren, which Isayama has called "the real Eren", completely dismantles this argument that the story frames Eren as "cool" in order to make fascism look cool:

This is Eren from Armin's perspective. Armin, who's consistently through the story been a proponent for peace. He sees the real Eren here. Nothing but a little bitch cry baby, whining about how he doesn't want to die and he doesn't want Mikasa to forget about him.

The guy who the Yeagerists idolized as their great hero leading the Eldian Empire to glory, turns out to be nothing but a pathetic child crying about how scared he is to die and being upset at the thought of his friends moving on from him.

None of this is meant to make fascism look cool or send some sort of nefarious, secret message promoting nationalism or genocide.

It's meant to show how easy it is to manipulate people into supporting those kinds of movements. It's meant as a warning and as cautionary tale against falling for those things, against allowing ourselves to be indoctrinated into that mindset of "us against them".

It's why we see panels like this, in which the ideals of the Survey Corps have been usurped and perverted by the Yeagerists to promote exactly the opposite ideology:

What once began as a motto meant to express a dedication to the freedom and betterment of all humanity, has been twisted into a cry for war, fueled by a sense of hatred, to enact revenge on "the enemy", to restore an empire with an oppressive and blood-soaked history (one which supporters of this movement are beginning to deny), in the name of "Eldian pride". It's been twisted from a desire to bring freedom to humanity, into an excuse to perpetuate yet more violence and oppression and warmongering.

None of this is meant to be taken as a good thing. None of it is framed in a positive light. The entire point of this final arc is to show how easily any movement, even one that began with seemingly good intentions, like the Survey Corps', can devolve into the kind of madness that excuses and justifies any and all atrocities, including mass genocide. A repeated cycle we've seen play out again and again throughout human history.

"Attack on Titan" is literally warning us against allowing fascism to happen. Against militarism. Against nationalism. By showing us how easily it can all slip out of control and be turned toward evil ends. By showing us how easily regular people can be turned into bloodthirsty fanatics.

It's not fucking promoting it.

Attack on Titan's blackest moment.....

Four years ago today, and it still hurts to know it came to this for her. A character who was so iconic and beloved, a girl who seemed destined for so much more.

Four years ago, the last we saw of our beloved Potato Girl, Sasha Braus.

She truly had a great thing going, an strong, energetic, yet frightened young woman who nevertheless fought through the ugliness of the world inside the Walls, and grew into one of its most able protectors when the call came. She often seemed out of place in the Scouts, but truly represented what they stood for.

She had everything to be even greater and stronger, perhaps one of the heroes of humanity in the final fight against Eren.

And all of that was thrown away.....And for what? FOR THIS:

Gabi Braun will always be a vile, obnoxious, and unnecessary sack of shit who existed only to hold down the entire series, by stealing Sasha's rightful place in a circle of characters where she will always be the odd one out that NEVER should have been.

I don't give a fuck what her defenders say, and for them to continue she's a well written character is all in service of Isayama's worst deceit. All of Attack on Titan's final act exists only to push this goddamn little usurper, with every trick in the book pulled to pry sympathy for a character who was given zero likable traits and was too late to the scene for any investment to feel legitimate. All for the most contrived and dishonest character arc in the history of anime. There's a right and a wrong way to do redemption arcs, and Gabi Braun is a prime example of how it can be abused at the expense of the story. This is what happens when you let an author show open disrespect to the fandom by blatantly playing favorites through the entire context of the story, which essentially carried Gabi all the way to the end by forcing her into the main plot in the worst way imaginable.

The fact that any chance Sasha had at an ongoing arc in season four, to take part in the final fight against Eren and the fact that her killer was given a fucking happy conclusion at the expense of her own is a grave insult to someone who was not even allowed to go out with any real dignity. One who had been with us ever since the beginning.

No worse image than that of Sasha bleeding out, unable to speak, with her memory exploited by Isayama at every turn simply to push whatever agenda he sought to fulfill with the biggest bitch in anime.

Such a grave injustice. And we so richly deserved to see Gabi receive some for what she did.

Should have let Kaya finish the job, Mikasa. You OWED Sasha that much. NONE OF YOU owed anything to that fucking little shit.

And she's certainly not owed any of our sympathy. This kid had no conscience to speak of before her life was directly threatened.

Was what we lost REALLY worth it all?

Assassin's Bullet is and remains one of the WORST things I've ever seen in my life, and it singlehandedly tainted my experience with both manga and anime. It'll forever be one of the worst things in any anime, and we still deserve more and BETTER from Sasha Braus. The only redemption I want is a redemption from this travesty's very existence.

Forever remember Sasha Braus. Her big heart, her laugh, her kindness, her hunger for all the good things in life, her incredible integrity and selflessness........It's a loss that still feels far too real. And she deserves better than to be remembered as a mere tool for such a shameful and manipulative sideshow as what Hajime Isayama dealt us.

To the real heart of Attack on Titan, I will love you always Sasha Braus.

There is no Attack on Titan without Sasha.

[meear]

I hate how the consensus in the fandom is disliking Romione because "Ron isn't good enough for her". lmfaoo y'all, Hermione isn't good enough for HIM.

Remember guys, she got jealous that he was dating someone else and physically assaulted him until he bled. He had scratches. What the fuck was that and how did anyone read this scene and not think Hermione was a disgusting, abusive piece of trash? No because if Ron had been the one beating up Hermione like that you can BET people would've remembered it and held it against him forever (as they should!).

And I saw so many people defend Hermione saying shit like "oh i don't excuse her but it was understandable". She was just acting like "an irrational teenage girl"! Yeah uh no that was not just irrational teenager behaviour. Teenagers are emotional yes but most teenagers don't beat up their crush when they kiss someone else unless they have some serious disorder. Like, St Brutus's Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Boys level of disorder. She actually needs to be locked up, asap. The most understandable depiction of violent teenage behaviour in HP was OotP, and Harry was literally traumatised. Rowling wants you to believe that Hermione, on the other hand, is supposed to be a well-adjusted teenager.

"oh but Ron was rude to her too wah wah" yeah I don't give a fuck. Nothing Ron did to Hermione was on this level of violence, I genuinely do not give a fuck.

You know who angerly retaliates to Ron's rude remarks without acting like fucking Vernon Dursley? Ginny. And I don't even like Ginny. But when Ron acts like a jerk towards her, she understandably shoots back, she gets spiteful and mean, in an actual teenage girl way. No way y'all are trying to normalize the shit Hermione pulled.

"but", I hear you say, "it's normal for characters to have flaws :((( you just want every character to be flawless! It just shows that in HP no one is perfect! It's realistic!"

First of all, Harry Potter characters have the depth of a wet tissue, be fucking for real, second of all, that argument might hold water if the narrative held Hermione accountable and criticised her for what she did. but it didn't. The narrative blamed Ron. Ron is written as a flawed character, but Hermione isn't.

I love flawed characters, but I don't love flawed characters whose shit behaviour constantly get excused/validated by the author at all. They are actually the type of characters I despise the most. they become very unlikable and not in a fun way. If there's one thing in a story I can't stand it's inconsistent morality and the author playing favourites (looking at you Isayama)

Also, I'm pretty sure there's a world between "not being perfect" and being a genuinely abusive, bad person. HP1-3 Hermione is the former. HP6 Hermione is the latter. Ultimately, Rowling does intend for Hermione to be a good person. She kinda failed at portraying that. Hermione wasn't even shown as the bad guy for what she did! Harry felt a bit awkward 'cause he saw her cry and the narrative treated Ron like a jerk for daring to be interested in anyone other than Hermione and not realising she wanted him. How dare he! Nevermind that Hermione dated Viktor and Cormac. It's okay when she does it, but how dare he! Even when Rowling talks about these two, she thinks Ron is the one who needs to grow up and get himself together. He needs better friends. And a better author.

BAM MY VERSION OF S4 BERTOLT + DESIDERATE BERTOLT ‼️‼️

ngl getting his gelled back hair right was mad difficult, i combined a bunch of other people’s ideas and isayama’s "official" s4 bert art, and this is the final result. i’m actually quite satisfied with the end product too so i hope you guys also like it hehe

if you guys can tell me which part of desiderate is this, you get a high five (even tho its the most easiest scene to spot lol) and i stg if i get marked for this bc of the blood and slight nudity 😭😭

again no reposting on other sites or i’ll eat your hands 🫵🫵

edit: i fucking forgot to color the eyebags on the desiderate scene 😐

[lostcauses-noregrets]

not late to the fandom, just really not updated. last time I was on the ackerman bond between Levi x Erwin was canonically proven, but I have seen people in the tags and some other comments say it was disproven later on. would you mind explaining to me what the hell happened? thank you very much for your existence in this eruri fandom <3 you are doing the titan's lord works!

Awww thank you dear <3  

Okay not so short summary…

The bond between the Ackermans and their lieges was first mentioned by Isayama in the Answers Guidebook which was published in 2016, the same week as chapter 84, Midnight Sun (boy was that a head fuck). In the book Isayama said: 

Isayama With the heroes of American comics, conflicts dealing with the situation “with great power, comes great responsibility” have been depicted. In Levi’s case, if he had no power, he would probably have been an ordinary person with no responsibilities but, as a consequence of having power, that he became a person excessively burdened with responsibility. Kenny talked about “everyone… was a slave to something…”, when he put the question to Levi “what is yours!?”, Levi himself too perceived it. That he himself too was a slave in regard to his own strength. The sense of duty that “I must become a hero”. …the same thing can be said of Mikasa too but…, for the Ackerman family, in the service of their master, there are many people who are able to manifest their power to its maximum. —Eh!? (surprise) About that, isn’t this information that hasn’t been talked about in the original story!! Certainly for Mikasa it’s Eren, for Kenny it’s Uri that is the lord/master-like existence… Isayama In Levi’s case, it’s Erwin. As the existence who surpasses him, he has acknowledged Erwin or how should I put it. That is the Ackerman lineage or rather, the instinctive part probably.

This became known as the “Ackerbond”, though that is a term that was made up by the fandom.  There is no explicit mention of the bond in the manga until chapter 112 when Eren tells Mikasa that she is a slave to her Ackerman instincts, who is compelled to follow her host’s orders without question. (Cue lots of hand wringing about the “abusive” nature of the Ackerbond.)

However later in chapter 130, in an extended flashback, Zeke tells Eren that there is no such thing as Ackermans having “ingrained behaviour” or “compelled instinct” to protect their “host”, and that the real reason that Mikasa shows him so much kindness and affection is that she loves him. 

For once, Zeke is right, as this ties in exactly with what Isayama went on to say about the Ackermans in the Answers book:

— Regarding Mikasa and Levi’s Ackerman family mystery, we’re also receiving more clarity! Can we say that Mikasa, Levi, Kenny are all part of the same Ackerman bloodline? Isayama: They are all part of the same Ackerman bloodline. However, their reasons for protecting their respective counterparts don’t have anything to do with the bloodline itself - it’s just their nature (laughs). Within the story, Mikasa and Levi almost have the guardian/knight-like roles, right? That’s because they encountered the existence of a “boss”-like individual, and the desire to work for that person is very in line with their personalities.

So there you have it.  The so-called Ackerbond isn’t mysterious blood magic that forces Ackermans to obey their host, however it is in their nature to devote their strength to an individual they choose, whose “existence surpasses them”.  Put in broad terms, Eren “surpasses” Mikasa because he gives her courage, safety, family, all things she has lost when they first meet.  Uri surpasses Kenny because he has unlimited power and compassion and sees the good in everyone.  And Erwin surpasses Levi because he has a cause to fight for, one that Levi can dedicate his strength to.  I once read someone describing the relationship between the Ackermans and their significant others as a particularly selfless form of love and a deep seated desire to protect, which seems to hit the nail right on the head. 

If you want more info about the Ackerbond I have many posts here: Ackermans Master Post and Ackerbond / Ackerbonds, and @tsuki-no-ura has helpfully provided a translation of the relevant passages of the Answers book here: Answers Guidebook Interview about Levi and Erwin.

Do Erehisus and Eremikas even like Historia and Mikasa

Reformatted from reddit.

I think that Eremika (Eren × Mikasa) is an okay ship. I appreciate what Isayama was trying to do but the execution was less than pleasurable.

The whole point is that despite being in love with each other, Eren and Mikasa cannot be together. Their goals, their characters simply contradict.

Eren is focused on moving forward, he can't appreciate what was beside him (Mikasa). He can't even think that Mikasa would ever leave him until 139. Settling down, a domestic homelife is unappealing.

Mikasa is controlled by fear, after losing her family twice (first by the kidnappers then the fall of Shiganshina) which is what causes her obsession with Eren. Despite her strength, all she wants is a quiet life. Her arc is about overcoming fear, she kills Eren but keeps him alive with her memories. She gives birth to new life with Jean, starting a new eternal family.

But fuck that shit!

The slutshaming of Mikasa

Mikasa has been shamed by die hard Eremika shippers for "spreading her legs" and daring to find a new man after Eren. All those themes, character arcs, non of it matters to these misogynists.

Some of them have even gone on to lie and say that Mikasa is wearing a purity ring and not a wedding ring, because a woman is sinful if she's not a virgin.

The denial that she got married to most likely Jean is insane too. Armin is not that tall and the anime even adds a blurry scene of him in the credits. The hubby is not blonde either, I eyedropped his hair and it's green due to the lighting. Looks like dirty blonde hair mixed with green to me.

They also do the whole Jojo fan thing of creating fake interviews, no Isayama did not confirm that the man is Armin or she is single.

They want her to remain obsessed with Eren for eternity and grieving.

They do not like Mikasa, they just like their ship.

Eren and the aryan waifu

I have a strong dislike for Erehisu (Eren × Historia) due to redditors.

The biggest reason is that it's pure fantasy. The themes, characters, everything was made up. The largest example of mass delusion in modern day history.

They project themselves unto Eren, the chad that after destroying all his enemies returns home an settles down with his aryan wife and child.

Historia can't have any importance except for giving birth to Eren's kid. Ymir is presented as a predator for tempting Historia into lesbianism, Eren fucking her is the cure.

It only seems like they "like" Historia because they despise Mikasa. Mikasa is Asian instead of white, and she will be punished for her love for Eren by being cucked and dying by his hand.

All these fantasises of Historia hating Mikasa, calling her a slave. Historia who in canon jokingly teased Mikasa for her crush on Eren and shipped the two would never.

It is once again pure misogyny.

They can't even keep consistent with supposed themes. They say Eren is doing a full rumbling to keep his child from war yet they say that Eren will restart the rumbling through touching his child, thereby involving her unwillingly with war.

They do not like Eren or Historia, just Erehisu.

Outro

I mean some Eremikas and Erehisus of course, if it doesn't apply to you, I'm not talking about you.

thank you, tuesday...

Summary: The Ackermans have hosted all kinds of students from around the world and they came and went, hardly ever leaving a mark. Though none of them rivaled the curious and quirky character of Zoë Hange.

Read thank you, tuesday... on AO3

Read Fue un martes... in Spanish on Wattapad.

Let's start with the lovely cover of this fanfic. It was made by the talented @catyypss. She was the sweetest and I'm truly obsessed with it. I added the title to it and yes, the little paper plane I placed it there as a symbolism. I love it so much, I could cry. Follow Catyyps on her platforms and if you can, place a commission.

Also, this fic has been beta read by @dontatmethanks. Follow the amazing Ro and read all of her works on AO3. You'll not regret it.

Having that said, this work has been collecting dust for a while and even though I started writing the first chapter back in May, I finally got the courage to release it now because you know, lack of time. because I procrastinate a lot and I am a chicken too.

Now, onto the fic.

Let's start by saying/informing that I used she/her pronouns for Hange in this fic. Second, I have many head canons about Hange's past, since Isayama was SO kind of NOT giving us a backstory way to love the fourteenth commander. I have good head canons but I also have bad and heavy ones.

And I decided to explore the bad ones.

I do believe Hange talks a lot because her parents didn't pay attention to her growing up. Hange would be the type to overshare and then regret it because you know... trauma. I tried to explore that shattered relationship between Hange and her parents but also a life away from them.

We also have Levi, who suffers from older sibling syndrome. Protector, with an obsession in his case for cleaning, desire for perfection, and pressure to meet his parents' expectations; something that his little sister, Mikasa yes, they're siblings here is tired of experiencing.

A slice of life, like they say on the streets. You can place two fucked up people in a room and they can bond over trauma, right? Those are the topics I TRIED to explore in this fic. It has a little angst, but I incorporated some fluff too.

Anyway, I hope you you enjoy the first chapter of:

thank you, tuesday...

the other Ortho anon, and i read the reply X3 it's the second time i use this space as chatroom tbh, it's fun to talk with the other Ortho anons. i hope you get to share! i will love to find it!

btw Ryui, did you see the idia relaxation card. the nape out, absolutely slutty/j but also when you focus on the shorter part of his hair he looks like a grown up human Ortho........... i was gonna die yesterday of nosebleeds, idia the pretty princess......

Yeah, I find it funny and cute in a way that we end up becoming a hub for Ortho lovers every now and then lol I don’t mind as long as it’s not for too long and people get to connect with each other. Share and enjoy each other’s work, Anons!

And YES, Idia relaxation card ended me. That pose, that face, everything – he is indeed slutty. I saw someone comparing him to that one Megara screencap, and fuck yes it fits. It’s the nape + hair combo… they’re so long… Idia the pretty princess indeed…

I didn’t even think about grown up human Ortho’s hair looking like the shorter part of Idia’s hair but I can see it!! God I love Shrouds too much..!

Thank you, Anon, you are too kind lol

Hello !  Oh, I'm so glad you like Bachira and he's so cool in your style !  He's like..a cutiepie, and at the same time, completely unhinged (he LOVES walking around butt-naked, for example and thinks he has an inner monster who talks to him while he's playing soccer, telling him the best moves, etc.)  I really like him and his bromance with the MC ! Blue Lock is really fun btw, it's like a soccer Battle Royale, with LOTS of strong feelings between the characters (so many rivalries and bromances !) .  I should also add that the artist has worked as an assistant for Isayama during Attack on Titan and..let's say it shows XD The characters all look really, really intense  while playing soccer, it's honestly a little scary sometimes ahah.

Everything comes back to Isayama..! This man is too much of an influence in our lives lol

Thank you for the trivia, Anon! It’s very interesting. And also fun to learn more about Bachira, he seems to be as unhinged as he looks lol I’m glad we got a chance to draw him. Sports anime are always surprisingly gay, intense and intensely gay, but in my opinion they should also be unexpectedly creepy every now and then. So yeah, I think it’s a great thing!

Sebek in the Egyptian wear is doing things to me… sir those tiddies look heavy, may I hold them for you- maybe give them a tiny little bite-

BEAUTIFUL WORK IM GOING INSANE AROUND AND AROUND SEBEK’S THRONE…

Thinking about sweat glistening on his chest as he barrels into whoever’s underneath him, hands on their hips, gripping so hard that the person bruises… lowkey I’m thinking about hate-sex with Leona but yknow scenario can change as it will-

Thank you two for the delicious food once again!!!

Oh no, Sebek’s godly tiddies are under attack lol

Thank you so much!! <3 I am very happy you liked how he looks. We wanted to do something with Sebek as the-crocodile-deity for a while now, more than a year to be honest lol So I’m glad we did!

You’re describing quite a lovely image, not gonna lie… I think Leona works nicely visually with this setting (?) and stuff, and the steaminess of hatesex obviously makes it even better. But yes, I can see other people with this Sebek as well. All of them to be honest. He’s the fertility god after all lol

[moonspirit]

Considering how Isayama basically never draws fanservice of the female characters in his manga (he's a much bigger fan of giving all the fanservice to the male characters, drawing them all half naked lmao). It is interesting that the only real exception is Isayama putting slight emphasis on the fact that Annie has a very nice and particularly big butt.

The female titan form spoke for itself but then the fact that Reiner literally comments on how nice it is and then post-timeskip Isayama went out of his way to draw Annie's ass fuller and rounder compared to most of the cast where he just draws a majority of them flat as pancakes. It's also especially noticeable on Annie because of how short she is 😭.

But hey I'm not complaining that Annie canonically has the best and nicest ass in the series. I love that for my girl and I'm sure Armin loves it too 😏

Hahahaha xD Everybody in the community will agree with you anon, most of all Clouds! She will tell you that Annie's ass is very very special and it's true.

Reiner's "Nice Ass" comment still manages to take me the fuck out lmao, especially because Armin was right there. As a whole Annie's construction and design is very striking in all respects, and the fact that she has a very nice butt (that MAPPA was too much of a coward to show in many scenes) is only icing on the cake.

To add to this, Aruani as a ship operates on many amazing grounds of reasoning, but the most important is undoubtedly this:

Armin "Nice Hands" 🤝 Annie "Nice Ass"

[cocktailjjrs]

He LIVED Bitches!!!!

Long post ahead

First thing first... I love this starting pallet (i'm definitely overthinking)

Not complete white not complete black with prominent shadows, because every major character in the show is grey and one half of each partnership likes to lurk in shadows...This just highlights that things won't always be merry and colourful, but they won't completely be helpless...

Now to the episode itself...

We knew Aya was going to jump... Glad she was oh so delicately caught by Aku... I didn't think it was possible to clear everything in one episode, but expect the unexpected i guess...

And the main part of Dazai being alive and kicking...No but really, this is such a relief...

I kinda had the whole thing in the back of my mind that they can't kill Dazai, he is necessary for the plot armour to plot armour and all that shit...

But there was equal chances of Asagiri taking notes from Isayama or Gege and just decide, fuck it... let's keep him dead....If not the confirmed dead thing, then the dead till stated otherwise route that Hori took.

But i'm soooo glad Asagiri didn't do that!!!

Also, glad to know he is still as cocky as ever

AND AND AND

I screamed!!!! My fam started looking at me for two whole minutes like i've just gone crazy!!!

Because we got the prettiest boy speaking!!!

The look on Fyodor's face when he realised he was played by the one he had completely under his control (or he thought he had)... I think he realised the 'shallow bond' comment haunted him in this moment

I will deep dive into what exactly happened in those seconds in a later post, but i just wanna say

This is soooo damn funny!!!! Like you have this big bad mafia boss who has been MIA for the whole part of world destruction and his precious city being in the centre of it all (lets face it mori loves Yokohama more than he loves the whole world, he would gladly let the world burn if it means keeping that damn trouble-magnet city safe!) - BUT BUT BUT, then when things start to look up you only get a mention of the said boss and that too with a goofy fact such as he glued in vampire fangs to one of his executives! Don't tell me it's not an embarrassing dad thing to do, because it is!!!

I just know he, Hirotsu and Koyo has a hell of a time getting teenage soukoku to adulthood alive!!!

I mean -

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SIR YOU USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME???

No one's doing it like them!!!

Plus i just know Manga coming out is going to be even more gay than the anime, there will be more explanations and more fruity moments!!!

On a sad note...

Fyodor actually seems to be dead ( even if i don't believe it)

It hurt so bad to see Gogol man going - i wanted him dead, no i didnt, but maybe i did. His voice alone mad me sad...

But you know what i'm not sad about???

Getting rid of Fukuchi!!!

I'm not going to pretend that i felt even an ounce of sympathy for him, his whole 'i did this so you can bring peace' or 'some sacrifices are necessary for greater good' thing seemed forced to me. Like a desperate attempt at ending his character arc on a forgiving note, positive note...

But like i said, most characters in this show are grey... But there was none of Fukuchi's shade, and i didn't like it, even if in the end he wanted peace.

i do feel sad for Fukuzawa though,

He will have to live with that curse...

Plus i don't think Fukuchi is completely gone...

Decay of angel's may be over, but the mess they have left behind is not, there is still the other side of the page and whatever the fuck went down in those two hours...

But i'm glad that atleast Aku and Atsushi are on same side this time...

and this looks so much like:

So yeah, it's just another start!!!

Plus, You remember Soukoku came to fame after final battle of Dragon Head conflict?

The Finale of Decay of Angels will the foundation of Shinsoukoku's journey...

The two of them against all the threats to come...

We sure are in for a treat!!!
