#anti eren yeager

[sonofthesaiyans]

So..... they're re-releasing the Attack on Titan finale as a theatrical event in Japan.

So, with that in mind.....

Who else here did not even bother with the anime finale after reading the manga conclusion? Who else agrees it was a trainwreck regardless of which version you go by?

And who else is proud to say they won't even waste their time putting this overblown mess on?

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I've never seen anything go so big and feel so empty when it was all over. Literally no payoff to any of this. Who else happily opted out?

-------------------------------------------------

And just as an aside, Gabi you're still an unwanted skank. And Eren.....worst shonen protagonist ever.

And oh yeah....Eremika was never a couple worth rooting for. So stop mourning for it if you still are.

[spooky-donut-ghost-house]

I can already hear the Er*n fans whining over this video

[sonofthesaiyans]

THIS.

Everything after the time skip.....never forget all that was stolen from us after that point in the story. It all seemed devoted to one thing and one thing only: Killing off every good thing that made Attack on Titan what it was when it first came on, right down to the original story which upon closer inspection was no longer about the Titans. As I have said in the past, theirs was a compelling mystery that only got worse with every new answer revealed, answers that completely subverted everything established out the starting gate, all of it falling back to Eren Yeager.

I will never understand those who held out for three years and the constant delays between episodes to see this crap adapted to the big screen. And speak of it as it was some sort of major accomplishment on their part. I didn't see any meaningful payoff from this or the manga, so I don't know what the fans think they got out of this.

I would totally love to see the last season declared noncanon if it meant erasing the black stain that still reeks from Eren's betrayal, that baffling and unnecessary time loop, and the completely unwarranted and manipulative deaths that Isayama milked for his own sadistic pleasure, Sasha and Hange above all.

Ironic how the actual ending of this saga, if you can call it that, is a much less conclusive finish than the one we got immediately after the biggest reveal of the series.

This story ended with the ocean.

fun fact: if you stop reading snk at the ocean scene the rumbling doesn't happen, Marley doesn't exist, Eren, Sasha, Floch and Hanji don't die, Historia isn't forced to marry her childhood bully, Eren didn't kill his mama, EMA trio stays together forever, Eremin have a beach wedding and fuck you Isayama

[anneeeboleyn]

what the fuck is a eremika, in eremin we trust and believe 🛐

[shesalittlelost]

I know it's not that deep but I love that he made Armin of all people being the ending hater. This is how you deal with a partially divided fandom. No condescending nonsense, just really giving everyone a treat and also acknowledging the critics while reminding fans that at the end of the day it's just fiction and really we're here just for fun.

[harley-rose25]

In which I give the longest explanation of my opinions on Eremika and why I don't like it.

If you see my other AoT post, I likely give the impression of being a hardcore eremika anti; and while I'm not clearly not a fan of the ship I also don't believe that it just came out of nowhere, or was completely unexpected; like some eremika antis seem to think. Seasons 1-3 I honestly expected an eremika ending. Season 3 I had some thoughts that maybe we were getting a erehisu instead, but ultimately I assumed either an eremika or a no-pairing ending even by the end of season 3.

This is not because I thought the ship was built up well or had really good moments pointing towards a mutual romance/love. There are some moments where Eren shows some level of care or affection towards Mikasa; but, to me, it doesn't come off like he's in love with her. It can be interpreted that way, but I felt it was more like showing general platonic care and that those more romantic feeling could be built up or in some cases like his feelings were moving in that direction. The reason I assumed it was the most likely end game ship if there was to be a ship is because of other cannon ships where one character is in love, often obsessively so with the other and the other is either oblivious, doesn't really care, or actively seems to dislike them until the end of the series when suddenly they're also in love. ie; Sakura and Sasuke, Hinata and Naruto, Aang and Katara. Eren and Mikasa dynamic reminded me of these, especially Sakura and Sasuke.

My main issues with the eremika ship are: 1. how it compares to erehisu; Eren and Mikasa do have deep emotional moment together but Eren and Historia have deep emotional moment because of each other. That is, Eren's emotional moment with Mikasa would be just as emotional even if she wasn't there, where as Historia is integral to the moments she has with Eren. In season 4 the erehisu ship is really build up by how desperate Eren is to protect Historia, how he angrily jumps to her defense, how he's shown visiting her at the farm, how he smiles at her and no one else. Even other characters notice this; in season 3 Jean tells Eren he should stop holding hands with Historia all the time (I'm aware that the hand holding was because they were trying to get more memories/activate the founding titan, but it means that Eren and Historia had a lot of confirmed off screen time together), and in season 4 Hange looks at Eren smiling at Historia and then later tells Eren that She thought He would never sacrifice Historia; strongly indicating an assumption of a deeper level of care. All in all I think erehisu had better scenes to building a relationship of mutual care and understanding and also better scenes showing that Eren cares about Historia in a way that isn't shown with anyone else (save maybe Armin) This means that when we end up with eremika now it feels a little cheap or just off. If we got more moments showing a deeper level of care and understand between Eren and Mikasa or if The moments between Eren and Historia, and Erens reactions to Historia didn't have so much weight then an eremika ending would make more sense.

reason number 2: What it does to Mikasas character; Mikasa's love for Eren seems born out of an obsession that comes from losing her parent in a violent murder/kidnapping and then being saved by him. This is then compounded when Eren's mom dies since she was like an adoptive mother to Mikasa. She's a traumatized young girl who never actually deals with her trauma and instead hyperfixates on Eren. Mikasa entire character arc is her chasing after Eren like a neglected dog until that one scene where for like 5 minutes she finally starts to see Eren for the violent psychopath he actually is and questions what she had seen in him; but never mind that because she's back to being so obsessively in love with him that even after he dies she spends that rest of her life visiting his grave with her (probably husband and kids) and also never takes off that scarf.

reason number 3: Mikasa doesn't understand Eren. People argue that Mikasa understood Eren in a different ways, that she understood certain parts of him, but that's literally just admitting that there's clearly parts of Eren she doesn't understand. Actually, I'd argue that as its depicted Mikasa doesn't seem to understand Eren on a fundamental level. Examples: When he failed at the initial ODM gear test she told him to give up being a soldier and then went on to say that he needn't drop out alone, that she would be following him; when he passed the ODM gear test she says that he's relieved that he wont be separated from her. She assumes that the reason he'd be upset about failing to make it as a soldier is related specifically to her and not wanting to be apart from her; When Connie is angry about Eren laughing after Sasha's death he asks Mikasa why he would do that and she can't answer; despite the fact that she's witnessed him laughing in an emotional and traumatic situation before and should have been able to understand that he does it as a coping mechanism. She'd also completely blind to his obvious anti-social personality disorder (psychopathy), though to be fair so is everyone else including most Eren stans. (like, I love Eren, I stan Eren but he is like text book certifiably ASPD psychopathic)

Ymir Deserves Better. And so does Historia.

Absolutely wild that this series gave us lesbians and then just wiped them off the board like that. Isayama giveth lesbians and hath taketh them the fuck away

Attack on Prime: Eren's Trials

Main Story

....DAMN IT I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL! FUCK SHIT BITCH MOTHER-!

Deep breath. Okayyyyyyy.

So this is not official. This is going to be a demo. I want to see how well this tracks on Tumblr. If it tracks well on Tumblr, I might be willing to continue writing it in full. If not, I'm just gonna write a summary of it with a few little snippets. The only reason I'm even thinking about doing this is because @justawannabearchaeologist and I have been brainstorming ideas and it's just been spiraling out of control!

So if you guys really want this to continue: please actually let me know what you think because it will gauge how this proceeds!

Okay?! Okay.

Also spoilers.

Summary: It is the end of Eren Jaeger's story. The boy who sought freedom had failed to complete the Rumbling. His friends opposed him, his family disowned him, and Optimus had killed him. He expected to be suffering in hell for all eternity, or just stop existing. But divine intervention has offered him a chance at reincarnation, if he can pass thirteen trials from the Primes that proceeded Optimus Prime. Succeed, he will be granted a new life. Fail, and he will disappear forever.

If Eren wishes to survive, to win, then he must fight.

Eren felt his eyes twitching when he realized that he was able to think again. He slowly opened his eyes to a rather strange sight. He could tell that it was nighttime, what with all the stars, however, he also saw clouds of colorful gas slowly floating along. Eren groaned, forcing himself to sit up and study his surroundings further. He found himself surrounded by a purple fog with no end in sight. The floor beneath him felt smooth and he looked down to see his reflection in the water. His hair was still the same length from when he was dragged back from Marley and when he was in the Paths. He wore those dark pants and hoodie along with his green shirt, but his eyes were still blue as the color of energon.

"Where am I?" Eren mumbled to himself. He felt something in the grip of his right hand and looked over to see...

Mikasa's scarf. He was holding Mikasa's scarf in his hand. He pulled it slightly, and the motion caused ripples to form in the reflective water. But the scarf didn't touch the water, nor did it get wet. What...what happened? Why did he have this? Why was he-?

Eren yelled and clutched his head as memories came flooding into his mind....He activated the Rumbling.

Eren! NO!

He attacked his comrades, along with Optimus' comrades.

Someone help me!

MURDERER!

Eren please stop!

MEGATRON!

He...he was killed by-! Eren covered his mouth and held his neck as he remembered the searing hot pain of the blade going through him, tearing him in half.

And...Armin and Mikasa....

You don’t get a say, Eren! Not anymore! You’re dead to me! I just can’t do this!

See you later, Eren.

Those words hurt more than the blade lodged into his body. Eren fell backwards onto the reflective floor, feeling the ripples form at his motions. That was it. He failed. He was officially dead, and everyone who knew of him, alive and dead, no doubt hated his guts. Eren raised his hand to see the red scarf dangling in front of him. He blinked, feeling tears starting to form in his eyes. All he had left now were memories, hateful memories, memories of bitterness, and this scarf. This scarf that once represented his connection to Mikasa was now severed. He would never be able to give it back to her. Not that she wanted it anymore. She would forget about him and move on with her life.

Eren's arm rested on the floor again. It was probably good for her anyway. He probably would have told her to forget about him at some point...but his last words to her were nothing more than that of a pathetic man. Armin made it clear her never wanted to see him again. He destroyed the connections he had with his very first friend. He destroyed the outside world they both wanted to see...did they both have the same vision of the outside world?

And then...there was Optimus...who told him that he considered him son and would always love him...he was certain Optimus hated him now. And now...this was his hell...

He didn't know how long he was waiting there, but the longer he did, the more nervous he felt....why....why the hell wasn't anything happening? He's heard different versions of hell when he was exposed to the outside world. Fire and brimstone, demons torturing you, darkness, anything? Why was he just forced to be here? Was this his own personal hell: to be idle for all eternity?! That can't be it! He needed to leave! He wanted out! There had to be way out before he lost his sanity and-!

"Eren Jaeger." Eren force at the sound of a voice, stopping his mind from spiraling further into madness. He bolted upright, and froze at the sight of...something standing before him. It...it was a metal being, a metal being that was the size of a human. The being was completely white with hints of blue that flowed through its armor. But those eyes, those eyes that mirrored his own, with that same shine of blue, it was energon. This being was a Cybertronian. But...That couldn't be right. Appearances alone, it should be a Cybertronian, and they were usually bigger. The size of titans. Why did this one look his size?

Even so, Eren couldn't help but feel unnerved at the way it looked at him. The expression was neutral, but its eyes showed contempt. "Who...who are you?"

"I am Prima: Primus' first creation, and the first Prime," he answered.

Eren's apprehension was replaced with contempt. Primus. Of course this had something to do with that god! The whole place looked like something that he would design! "You have to be fucking kidding me." Eren stood up. "Primus couldn't finish me off himself, so he decided to pawn me off to some dead Prime with a name that just screams ego?!"

"I'd advise that you watch your tone, boy," Prima warned.

"Or what?! Primus is too hypocritical to actually follow through on his-!" Eren felt something graze his skin and cut strands of his hair in an instant. Eren looked down towards his left cheek and gasped in horror at the sight of...it. The weapon that appeared in Prima's hand without Eren noticing...the weapon that Optimus used to end his life, the weapon that had just grazed his cheek and remained by his face, causing a sting of pain and drops of blood to appear: the Star Saber.

Eren's legs wobbled before he collapsed to the floor on his rear. The titan shifter breathed heavily, but froze in his panic when Prima raised the blade towards his chin.

"Primus might be a being of compassion," Prima began, "But we were forged to be weapons of war, with the sole purpose of slaying gods."

"That..." Eren gulped, "That's...Optimus-!"

"Optimus barely knows how to use this weapon," Prima declared, "Meanwhile, I have used this weapon for eons. I am much more efficient in using it than he is."

Prima lowered the blade, but Eren couldn't help but be nervous at the presence of it.

"To answer your question: Primus is busy," Prima explained, "He has no need to spend any more time on someone like you."

"He interfered with a place he didn't even belong in-!"

"Have you forgotten why Primus went there in the first place?" Prima shot back, "To save the Little One from an eternity of solitude and slavery? To end the power of the titans? He wanted to save your world. But you? You have enacted a genocidal plan, wiping out at least 50% of the population. You have killed one of the people you swore to protect, and worst of all: you have tried to kill Optimus Prime. All of that, was your choice."

Prima kneeled down to look Eren in the eye. "Know this, Eren Jaeger. We hate you. We despise you. And if it were up to the rest of us, we would shove your soul down to the pits of Unicron where you belong to be tortured for all eternity."

Prima straightened himself out. "But thanks to Primus' 'hypocrisy', he has granted you clemency, and you will be given a chance."

"A chance for what?" Eren asked.

"A chance at a new life," Prima answered, "However, we will be the ones to decide how you earn that chance."

"Who's we?" Eren asked.

Prima raised the Star Saber into the air before tapping it against the reflective floor. The floor rippled in response, and the fog started to move. It swirled around both Eren and Prima, forcing Eren to cover his eyes at the strong winds. Eren could feel the ground beginning to shake, but didn't dare open his eyes until the storm passed. When he felt the wind die down, Eren mustered up the courage to open his eyes and gawked at the sight that was behind Prima.

A jagged rock formation had risen up from the ground, almost looking like a mountain. On this mountain, stood nearly a dozen other metal beings he couldn't get the full details of. Their colors and shapes were different, but they all looked down at him from their vantage points with contempt. Two of them, looked furious at the sight of him, one of them looked like a beast, and the other had glowing red eyes similar to Megatron.

"The Thirteen Original Primes," Prima introduced them, "If you are to take up this task, you will be subjected to thirteen trials." Prima raised a finger. "One for each Prime in existence. If you succeed in your trial, you will be granted passage to the next one, all the way until you have completed all thirteen of them, granting you the ability to reincarnate into anything that you so desire. Fail in any trials we subject you to, and you will be forced to repeat the challenge over and over again until you pass."

Eren grimaced at the explanation. Thirteen trials? That felt like some twisted joke to mock the thirteen-year curse that all titan shifters faced. "And what if I say no?"

"Refuse to participate in the trials, or forfeit the trials before completion, and your soul will be barred from reincarnation and destroyed," Prima answered, "Do you accept the conditions laid before you?"

Eren couldn't help but think it over. He shouldn't have to think it over. Instead of suffering through hell for all of eternity, he was given the option to reincarnate into a better life, so long as he completed these trials. But...he knows for a fact that these Primes are not going to make it easy for him. They are no doubt going to put him through hell and make him suffer until he passed their tests.

Eren closed his eyes. If he wanted to live, if he wanted to survive and live another day, he had to win. And the only way to win was to fight.

Eren opened his eyes in determination and forced himself to stand before looking Prima in the optic. "I'll do it. I'll do the trials, and I will make sure to pass all of them."

Eren knew he was glaring at Prima with contempt, but Prima wasn't fazed at Eren's attempt at defiance towards him. Eren couldn't help but glance behind him to look at the reaction of the other Prime. Some of them glared at Eren for his blatant disrespect towards who was no doubt their leader. Some were apathetic to his attempt at looking strong. However, there were quite a few of them that...smirked...or grinned with delight. They were giddy at the fact that Eren accepted the trials.

"Very well." Prima turned away from him and walked towards his fellow Primes. "We will commence with the first trial: my trial. Let us see how fast you are able to complete it. Vector."

Eren saw a golden titan with a cape stand up and began to float, conjuring an abundance of energy in the palms of its hands. Eren then turned his attention to the rest of the Primes...and noticed something was off. Prima stated that there were thirteen trials for thirteen Primes, but...he only counted twelve. Where was the thirteenth Prime? Why-?

Eren snapped his head downward when he noticed a golden circle forming around him. Eren gasped when the reflective floor gave way to a dark abyss below. Eren felt his stomach drop and screamed as he fell through the portal into the darkness below. He tried to hold onto Mikasa's scarf as long as he could, but in his panic, he let the fabric go. Eren saw it fly away before the portal closed above him, leaving him in darkness.

(So this is the idea, and basically an expansion of this ask. But again, if this doesn't get a lot of traction, I'm not really going to waste my time writing out the rest of it in full. Because coming up with the mechanics of the trials will be a lot of work. So please let me know what you think because that will help me decide.

Also I was listening to this:

And this:

I felt like both were pretty fitting.

♡ :: when they’re orphans and murderers with a tragic backstory 💋

[sonofthesaiyans]

Something I gotta say to you Eren fans...

Let's be very clear, this is NOT a channel where you're going to find any love for Eren Yeager. So let me extend something important to you guys;

If for any reason ANY of you here still have any genuine sympathy for Eren, even after all he did to betray and manipulate his friends, to warp space and time to slaughter billions of people, to betray everything the Survey Corps stood for.......

I extend you some advice. One, get some professional help IMMEDIATELY, because I have absolutely no respect for your affection towards Eren after he committed global genocide and knowingly sacrificed his own friends to see it through. I have no respect for anyone who blindly glosses over his crimes.

This shit is called ATTACK ON TITAN. NOT ATTACK ON EREN, this is NOT the same anime that hit the scene back in 2013, I will not acknowledge this bizarre shift in the story as a legitimate part of the AOT narrative, and nor should you. It is wrong to enable Hajime Isayama like that, who legit tried to frame Eren's actions as justifiable, something he WASN'T doing with Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie up to a certain point. Eren wasn't the initial villain, and if that really was Isayama's game from the beginning, I refer you to my previous post about how much Eren poisons his own saga.

And second, if you're not prepared to come to grips with that, you better keep your feelings for Eren FAR AWAY from this channel. Just, don't fucking bring that filth to my page. I don't want it. Because, GENOCIDE. Romanticizing a character guilty of that is NOT okay. This cunt from Hita, Japan trying to frame this kind of character as a tragic hero is NOT okay. Not here, I will NOT listen to it.

"Thank you Eren, you became a mass murderer to save us...." Fuck off. NO, the anime ending does not absolve Isayama of that line.

Tread carefully. It's already going to be ugly enough the next time I catch up with Bryce Papenbrook, and especially the day I finally catch up to Isayama himself.

Bottom line guys, FUCK EREN.

[starliteonearth]

One thing that has become very clear to me is that the HoTD writers really do not understand the current mindset of the Internet. They simply don't grasp that fanboys and fangirls alike are absolutely obsessed with characters like Daemon (their confusion at all the love he got in season 1 says as much). The thing is the show comes at a time where glorification and romanticization of fictional morally gray men is probably at an all-time high. Think characters like Paul Atreides, Eren Yeager, Miguel O'Hara, Ghost. Daemon falls into that group of male characters that are just too badass and cool and complex, that no matter what incredibly messed up shit they do, they'd still be universally loved. So try as hard as the writers might to crack him open and show us what a terrible, bad man he really is, the Internet is just never going to truly dislike him. That's why the Harrenhal arc isn't really moving the masses. The writing there is essentially like a rubber ball against concrete 🤷‍♀️

[porcelaintoybox23]

God I don't dislike eremika because I think they're siblings, though i prefer that relationship. I dislike it because Eren never shows an ounce of romantic interest in Mikasa until the literal last like 5 chapters. Nothing is hinted at, nothing is even possibly mentioned.

Suddenly he can't stand her with anyone. Did he miss how often Jean tried to flirt with her???

[terrabdectyle]

Catra and the Eren yeager of ch139 are realy similar...

Anyway i made this because i thought it would be funny🙂

[sonofthesaiyans]

Here's a bright idea honey.......if you have other examples that can defend this shallow romance, USE THEM. This is superficial bullshit and your loose interpretation of that scene isn't anything other than shipper speak. You're talking about one of the most one sided fauxmances in anime history.

You're going to have to do better than that.

Idk people who say that EM romance came out of left field and Eren showed no hint of reciprocating Mikasa's feelings at all until the end of the final season are baffling to me. Like do y'all not remember that scene in the literal third episode of the whole show where Jean hits on Mikasa by telling her he likes her hair and Eren IMMEDIATELY tells Mikasa that she should cut her hair? How exactly did y'all interpret that scene if not as Eren liking Mikasa and feeling romantically protective over her?? Don't get me wrong, I think Eren is a Silly Goose™ and doesn't necessarily consciously realize himself that he has feelings for Mikasa at that point, I mean he's literally 12, all he knows is he doesn't like that that horse-faced guy is putting the moves on *his* Mikasa. But the implication to the audience is *clearly* that Eren is jealous. Like. What's not clicking y'all???? And this happens not even one hour into the show--I haven't even touched all the other examples of him reciprocating Mikasa's feelings that take place throughout the rest of the series. Idk y'all I really just do not get how people didn't see it.

[marosina]

Remember when they just straight up spoiled the ending of Attack on Titan in 2015 with this song

And THIS IN PARTICULAR:

[sungkaan]

My biggest gripe about the ending isn't even about the ship or about Eren's character. Now, it's how they disrespected my queen, Carla Yeager.

Whatever happened to "He's already special because he was born in this world"?

I remember watching that and feeling what Eren has felt. Like a weight was suddenly lifted off my shoulders because I don't need to prove that I'm special so I can justify my worth. Me and everyone are already special by virtue of being born. That made me cry. That line got me through tough times. I always go back to that.

Now, the main character and the author is suddenly saying how idiotic it is. They've contradicted it.

"Oh sorry all of this happened because I was an ordinary idiot."

Are you implying that if the founding and attack titan were to be given to someone 'special', the the rumbling wouldn't have happened?

Yeah fuck you guess he prob need Ackerman genes to be special.
