[dicknouget]

Holy shit that fucking AoT Requiem fan story is so ass. How the hell are you going to take away one of the key features of the Cart Titan, THEN have Jean, who IS TOP OF HIS CLASS IN ODM GEAR, fall to his death, after he RUNS OUT OF GAS, and then still consider it to be a better ending than canon.

Fuck off.

GUYS, THE RÉQUIEM TRAILER😭😭😭 I'M JUMPING UP AND DOWN😭😭😭

LOOK!! AT!! HIM!! LOOK AT MY FAVORITE BOY!! HE'S SO PRETTY, I'M GONNA CRY😭😭😭 I MISSED YOU SO SO MUCH, MY SWEET THING😭😭😭

[sherylhooper]

If BNHA ends like Naruto did and Izuocha becomes new Naruhina, I'd better start stocking up bottles of wine to get fucking drunk!!

I swear to god, if this manga ends in such underwhelming way, I'll have to ask mangakas how do they manage to fucking do that!! Cuz there has to be some kind of bullshitery skill!

AOT, Tokyo Ghoul, Naruto, etc.. many, many manga has ended in such way and honestly, I think it'a time that even after years I really should get used to Code Geass having THE BEST ENDING in anime history (ft. Kimetsu no Yaiba, kind of, but then again the author is a woman and she rockes for it, even if it was kinda rushed).

Lelouch, you and Suzaku's ending will always be iconic, fr. Imagine dying at your bff's hands while you also make him take up your secret identity. King Emperor behavior!

Once again, Hiroshiki wtf are you doing with the ending???

Attack on Titan AOE vs. Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth Parallels

Alright fam. This is my ultimate multi-fandom post! This will go out to fellow AOT x FFVII fans -- especially those who have been looking into the AOT/ANR theories regarding AOE.

Obviously there will be heavy spoilers for both Attack on Titan as well as for Final Fantasy VII (OG and Remake).

Recently I've dived into the theory and lore to FFVII and a LOT of it lines up with what's been theorized for AOT regarding different medias being different timelines for one entire story:

For AOT, the manga is theorized to be a different timeline than the anime.

For FFVII, the original game (OG) is now officially implied to be a different parallel timeline than the current Remake.

In AOT, Eren and Paradis Island's fate from the Manga ending is death, that Paradis is still destroyed despite everything he does to prevent that. In the Manga, he reaches 80% Rumbling and then dies by Mikasa's hands; a sacrifice he was willing to make in order to allow Mikasa, Armin and friends to be heroes and live long lives (which they do) and for Paradis to survive -- however the cycle of hatred still continues on when Paradis is bombed, negating most of what he acted towards.

Before I get into this next part, let me also mention that the Cabin dream is implied to be a previous or parallel timeline -- in this, we see Eren die; his eyes slowly close, fading to black to his peaceful death as Mikasa says, "See you later, Eren..." which directly reflects the beginning pages of the manga of the moments and words he sees just before he wakes up underneath the tree. In other words, when Eren dies in Cabin timeline, he awakens to what we know to be the Manga timeline. It's a peaceful wakeup, sitting up against the tree as he had been sitting at the Cabin during death. He doesn't cry -- he only wonders why Mikasa's hair was long (because when he saw her last in Cabin timeline, her hair was short). Then the manga story ensues, leading up to his inevitable death by Mikasa beheading him -- a violent, gruesome death in the Manga...

...To which he wakes up in the Anime, in fright and shock, laying down on the ground with his head laying directly where Mikasa had laid his headstone in the Manga post-war, as if he'd just woken from his violent death in manga.

This is very similar to what is actually happening (not just theorizing) with FFVII right now.

In the original (OG) game, Aerith is killed by Sephiroth while trying to save Midgar/the world from Meteor destruction, then her soul is essentially absorbed into the Lifestream. In the end, Cloud defeats Sephiroth (who also goes into Lifestream), but in the process, Midgar is still completely destroyed by the Meteor as it was too late to completely save everything, even if the rest of the world was saved.

There are already some parallels here:

Rumbling = Meteor. The world is saved, but still experienced mass destruction. Lifestream = somewhat like Paths, allowing people to transcend time/space/etc.

However a big thing paralleling AOT theories is that the FFVII OG game ends with Aerith (remember, she was killed), surrounded by Lifestream energy, closing her eyes... Then the Remake game opening with Aerith, surrounded by Lifestream energy, opening her eyes as it leads to the new game unfolding.

Aerith woke up in a new timeline.

And there is plenty of evidence throughout the Part I that shows that she knows what is fated to happen based on the OG game/previous timeline:

She knows details about Cloud even though he didn't share/she acts like she already knows him well.

She gives him a flower because he's a 'special' customer, and says that the flower is a symbol for when lovers reunite.

She knew that the Plate would fall and destroy Sector 7, even though Tifa and Cloud were doubtful, but she couldn't tell them. (Tifa: "Aerith... What are you not telling me?")

She knew Tifa wanted her to save Marlene, even before Tifa even said it

In the special cut scene between Cloud and Aerith, she tells him with sadness that everyone dies eventually. And she advises Cloud to never fall in love with her (because she knows how that tragically ended in the original). She KNOWS she's fated to die.

And these are ALL differences from the OG game -- Aerith didn't have any of these reactions, dialogue, thoughts, sentiments before. She is implied to be operating in Remake with the knowledge of how things ended before: that she would be killed, that Midgar would still be destroyed, that Sephiroth would still be alive.

Except this time, with all that knowledge of OG fate, Aerith is now trying to actively veer things away from the tragic fate and destiny laid out before them. (Side note, Whispers are also game-original and are trying to reel things back to fate/destiny. Also, Sephiroth, being part of Lifestream from OG, is also operating with the knowledge that he failed in the OG. Like Aerith, Sephiroth is trying to change destiny.)

And if that isn't enough yet to convince you that it's a different FFVII timeline... ZACK IS ALIVE. They show him make it out of the battle that killed him before. It is an entirely new journey. (I will cry if/when Zack and Aerith reunite)

Now we circle around right back to AOT.

Like Aerith, Anime Eren is theorized to know how things ended in the Manga: his death, Paradis' destruction, etc. He gained this knowledge when he kissed Historia's hand (in both anime and manga), gaining access to memories of the future... and of the past. But not just memories of the Anime timeline. Founding Titan Eren is interconnected with Paths, the way Aerith is to Lifestream, both of which surpass time itself, as we've seen with Eren/Zeke traveling through his memories. (There's a lot of imagery alluding to Manga art intertwined with Anime, but that's a sub-sub-sub-theory)

There is also a side theory that Aerith transferred memories to Red XIII (as she pressed her hand to his forehead upon meeting) because he was already most attuned to the Lifestream itself, and he becomes her aid almost. Likewise, there is a fun theory regarding Eren using Falco as a messenger/Falco receives memories from Eren (which is why in Anime, Falco recalls memories of 'flying around with swords'... Which couldn't have come from Ymir Freckles. You can only see memories once you HAVE the Titan shifter; Falco at the beginning of S4E1 was still just Falco. Falco has also already been used as a messenger of Eren's letters. Falco is also one of the most neutral characters who shows empathy and understanding of both sides. He is a special character. If AOE happens as theorized, many think Falco will play an important role)

Now there is a certain tragic ending that we think Isayama has been alluding to for forever. I'm not gonna say it here because some of you will get triggered over attachment to certain characters/ships and whatnot. But the core of it is that we think Eren is going to do things very differently to change the fate and destiny -- that maybe, instead of choosing others over his freedom, instead of only committing 80% Rumbling (leaving enough people to lead to the demise of Paradis)... Maybe Eren will even choose his freedom this time via 100% rumbling, etc.

Honestly, who knows! There may be an entirely new ending that's the best of both worlds for every single fan. (...Sarcastic, though, because not everyone can or will be pleased. Even for FFVII, OG purists are frustrated by it veering off.)

I do not believe AOT Anime is going to end the same way the Manga did even if I have reasons for wanting it to stay the same (y'all know me and why I would NOT want it to end different; there are special scenes between my OTP I need to see, especially post-war) but it's because we've seen many consistent things throughout the anime -- through the story, dialogue, recurring imagery, etc. all for a separate detailed post -- that Isayama could have potentially been foreshadowing since 2013 towards a new ending.

"What's the lie? What's the truth?"

The fact that Tetsuya Nomura (maker of FFVII) is already doing this meta-narrative of having one media/game being an entirely different timeline than the original content is SO cool, and affirms that if Isayama is pulling this same stunt, it's not because of fans trying to riot and change an ending, but because that's... well, that's what could've been planned from the start, and because it's a really unique storytelling technique that would elevate a work by making many pieces come together as one, singular, consistent story in a brilliant way.

Obviously there's no IRL link between FFVII and AOT, but again, Nomura doing this makes it less crazy and more probably for another Japanese mastermind storyteller to do this, too. (And I won't even START on Muv Luv/Muv Luv Alternative! But it's the same thing, too!)

I'll stop there for now. Any AOT AOE x FFVII fans out there?! PLEASE tell me I'm not alone LOL

Nothing will ever beat following the aot manga while it was in its ending chapters in 2021 during lockdown

So I picked up the Requiem for Vengeance Kits

So I picked up the Requiem for Vengeance kits. And wanted to share my thoughts. 

First off these are some damn solid high grades. All the details and little greebles, add up to a wicked look to both of these kits.

ZAKU TIME

I love this Zaku. I love any Zaku but this one stands out nicely compared to it’s contemporaries. The vibes on this girl are great. Idk why but it gives me butch lesbian energy, and I kind of love it. 

But, I would not call it perfect, my biggest issue with this one is her back skirt has zero articulation and gets in the way when posing. 

That and I accidentally broke her rifle but that’s a user’s error.

Beware The White Devil.

But overall I really enjoyed this take on a Zaku II.  

Please make a Gouf. Mama needs a new Gouf kit.

ITS A GUNDAM

Now for the Michael Myers of Mecha, the Gundam EX. This boy is a little weird but he grows on you. Like moss….or vines…He basically has an inner frame for a lot of his limbs. Which is always impressive to see on a HG.

And I’m always a fan of Gundams that have a more simple color scheme. The red, white, and gray mix really well, giving him an almost skeleton feel to him.

His articulation is solid with some off spots. He will still pose beautifully, you might just have to do some extra work to get him in that perfect pose. Also, I have to say one of my favorite part of the EX is his weapons. The shoulder-mounted mini gun is cool as fuck. And it pairs amazingly with the beam saber dispenser. Honestly, the EX has the coolest beam saber storage out of any Gundam I have seen so far.

I also didn’t know where else to put this but his proportions kind of remind me of the colossal titan from AOT. Small head, long limbs, and thicc legs.

Anyway that the RAF kits for ya, I would recommend them if you want some solid and unique-looking little robots.

You could also make them kiss, and have an RFV enemies to lovers display for your shelf.

As someone who didn’t even mind the AOT ending…..who is offering to give us JJK Requiem?

[yuujiheart]

Those anons plus your analysis are really good. Have you seen Jujutsu no Kaisen (this one uses AI and stolen fanarts lol), Jujutsu two Kaisen and another alternate ending (this one doesn't have a name yet)? All these fan endings are just constant gojo glaze, it's okay to do what you want but they are claiming to "correct" Geges story LOL

Absolutely none of them cares about Yuji's being inspired by Nanami, Choso, Todo, Wasuke, save Megumi....no. The third fic is basically gojo and Yuji fighting together against Sukuna (God forbids yuji vs Sukuna)

I'm happy the animation director seems to love heian Sukuna and Sukuita , as well as people rejecting those fan endings and seeing how those fanboys are actually worse and didn't understand the story. I also dislike how they try to make Sukuna a One note dumb guy and completely ignore how much he suffered too

I bet they won't even add too many Sukuna and Yuji interactions because it would humiliate their Gojo/Sukuna headcanons ones

I knew about jujutsu no kaisen although I blocked them the moment they announced their plans and forgot about them completely ... I was forced to remember them when moots put that on my timeline... Didn't want to waste time reading whose sole purpose was to glaze gojo and insult gege.... So unfortunately, yeah I did see those posts about using AI and stolen fanarts..i don't know if that's possible but looking at the "content " they have produced I don't think they are very serious about this. Coz I have read aot no requiem and it was a good read honestly although I wasn't really familiar with fandom's reaction....

It feels like they are trying to make money through it somehow using gojo and jjk popularity.. Since you know there will be no new jjk content before anime comes out......

But I haven't heard about the other two fics at all. This is my first time hearing that there are other attempts to change the ending along with jujutsu no kaisen. ... Well lucky me I guess... But my feelings are the same. I can't see this as anything but a money making tool... Plus they can never write interactions and dynamics like gege... Gege has this talent to express the exact emotion in a few words. Yuji sukuna art is the best example... Sukuna saying " Abominable righteousness, refuge of the soul" perfectly expresses what he actually felt about yuji without going on a rant/ monologue about how yuji is different or something else.

And I am pretty sure that those who are solely focussed to gojo glaze can never do something like that.. And don't worry if they don't focus enough on yuji. It would be fine coz no matter how much they try to do their gojo sukuna thing,remember its yuji who's on those giant billboards and in newspaper on Christmas Day not gojo...

Yeah, that yuji sukuna art was so good.. It's pretty obvious they are dying to animate heian sukuna ... But you know what's the best part...

He's the one who was responsible for these two scenes... He made these ordinary scenes more sexy... Now imagine him being in charge of scenes where sukuna was being handsy with yuji.. Aaaaaaaa even thinkin about it fills my stomach with butterflies.. We gonna eat so fkking good anon 😋😋😋😋 ... Honestly I was thinking of deleting this acc as I feel it has achieved its purpose but now I am not sure... Lol

Thank you anon but it's just like you said the questions were good so answers automatically became good.. Otherwise I would just keep yapping about sukuita..

[i-who-has-never-had-a-name]

Films the Crows would like:

Kaz: Trainspotting, Kill Bill, The Killing of a Sacred Deer (even though I think it's bad), Gone Girl, Parasite, Snowpiercer, A clockwork orange, Citizen Kane, Sin City, The Dark Knight, Tarantino films, the Godfather, Come and See, V for Vendetta, Prisoners, Silence of tbe Lambs, No country for old men, City of God, Shawshank Redemption, Kubrick's and Hitchcock's work (except lolita bc that's gross), Hunger Games Trilogy, All of Aronofsky's work (Black Swan, Requiem for a dream etc.), Memories of Murder, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, Oldboy, Blade Runner 2049,

As for series he would like Breaking Bad, Death Note, Aot and Vinland Saga, Berserk maybe, Prison Break but like only the first two seasons and The Walking Dead.

Inej: Ladybird, Little Women, Anna Karenina, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation, Girl, Interrupted, Everything Everywhere all at once, Nomadland, The Florida Project, Alice in Wonderland (the Tim burton one), Hard Candy, In the Corner of this World, portrait of a lady on fire and Princess Mononoke. I can't really think of other ones to be honest.

I'm not really sure what series she would like. Maybe Ai Yazawa's animes? I'm not sure.

Jesper: Star Wars (the original trilogy and the prequels), Indiana Jones, Life of Brian, Ferris Bueller's Day off, American Pie, MIB, Terminator, Ghostbusters, Scream, Back to the future etc. He definitely likes fun adventure movies. Also a lot of animated movies like The Lego Movie and Lego Batman (masterpieces) and Pixar and Dreamwork's Movies (his favorites being Toy story and Shrek). Also Disney classics like treasure planet and Atlantis. Probably also western movies and he'd idolize Clint Eastwood.

Favorite Series are The Office, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo etc.

Wylan: Perks of being a wallflower, Ladybird, Howl's moving castle, Billy Elliot, Your Name, Dead Poet's society, Stardust, Narnia, La La Land, Lotr trilogy (his comfort movies), Call me by your name and all of Wes Anderson's movies. I think he'd be secretly a huge filmnerd who also loves A24 movies, David Fincher, arthouse movies etc. But I think he would be a bit embarrassed by it.

His favorite series are Doctor Who (David Tennant Version because that's the best one), Fargo and Good Omens.

Nina: A sucker for romance and chick flicks, especially romantic comedies. The Notebook, Mamma Mia!, When Harry met Sally, Mean Girls, She's the Man, badly written Netflix romantic comedies,

She likes reality TV and desperate housewives, sex and the city, friends and modern family.

Matthias: 1917, Saving Private Ryan, All quiet on the western front, Hacksaw Ridge, The Notebook, Dunkirk, John Wick movies and other action movies. My taste is completely different so it's very difficult for me to think of other movies he would like.

I don't think he would watch a lot of series because it takes up a lot of time. Not the guy to concern himself with entertainment and media really but does enjoy a good story.

Feel free to criticize me or suggest other media. Maybe I should also make a list about the music they'd like?
