My two favorite prompts for 2021 Arumika Week on twitter

[strscrossed]

In actor au, Annie and Mikasa became fast friends during filming! After they filmed some rivalry scenes, they always posted pictures together on social media.

Connie is very hairy! the poor thing had to shave his hair because of the character.

Historia sometimes liked some fan posts that said things like: "Why fight over erehisu or eremika when you can like Mikahisu?" and that kind of sparked a bunch of theories about maybe mikahisu being a couple at the end of the show.🤭

Armin and Mikasa were really close so some fans theorized that they were dating in real life lol and they have a very strong fanbase in the style similar to kpop shipping, but they're just friends anyway.😭 (And Eren was a little suspicious too.)

oh I love these.

definitely I think the friendship between mikannie made their rivalry scenes more believable.

HAIRY CONNIE. once filming ends he grows his hair all the way out. the epilogue was a happy day for him.

LOL hisu just liked stirring the pot saying: actually mikahisu got married and the farmer accompanied mikasa to the grave with her. isn’t that so nice of him? ❤️ just starting shit but in a funny way lol.

arumika went on one date after armin’s breakup with historia (that relationship lasted two weeks) but before he started hooking up with annie. I think mikasa and jean were on a break and they briefly got back together but alas it didn’t last lol because she realized where her heart really was.

Arumika week day six: Rainy day

Arumika Week Day One: STAY WITH ME

Some modern AU in which Mikasa has a breakdown or panic attack and asks Armin to stay by her side through the night and into morning. Of course, she doesn't need to ask him--he's already there. ♡

Day 5 - Time Skip

This ones pretty straightforward but its just meant to show that even thought they've both changed alot, the love and support has stayed. I really like that about them.

Hi! just wondering, is arumika week happening anytime soon and if so,what prompts?

Awh hello! Right so- the thing is that I kinda fell off the tumblr radar altogether (i moved to snk twitter lmao) so I just.. would find it difficult to navigate through tumblr again. But I also don’t want the prospect of an arumika week to fall apart solely bc of me. So I want to put it out there: does anyone want to take over this account? I’ll help you with anything you’re unsure of, its just that I don’t really think I could do it justice this time.

Day 2 - Childhood

[hashire]

prompt: time skip. post-canon, feat. gabi and arumika baby. unfinished.

-

The rare warm breeze creeps in through the open window, bringing with it the clean scent of the mountains:  cold water from rushing creeks, fresh, bright flowers, sunlight. It carries the sound of laughter from Gabi and Sasha, sitting out where she can see them from the kitchen window. Gabi braids together flowers - sloppily, inexpertly, because she only learned how to do it recently - into a crown for the little girl sitting in front of her. Sasha doesn’t notice, doesn’t care about the quality, clapping her hands with glee.

Mikasa’s heart warms and aches at once. At seventeen, Gabi is experiencing things she never had a chance to. She finally has a chance to be a child, to live. The nightmares still come hard and fast, and she crawled into bed next to Mikasa the night before, sobbing and shaking and pleading. It’s never intelligible, so Mikasa just murmurs soft words and strokes her hair, rocking her back and forth until she settles. Sasha had been woken up by the noise - a not uncommon occurrence that Gabi tries and often fails to avoid - and Armin had tried to grab her and curl around her to avoid further exposure. But she wanted Mama, so they ended up with Gabi against her front, Sasha snuggled against her back, and Armin pushed to the edge of the bed on his side.

But now, Gabi sits on the grass, tongue poking between her lips and brow furrowed as she loops the stems in front of Sasha’s wide blue eyes. There’s nothing haunted in her expression:  she looks serene even in full concentration. Sasha chatters at her as she works, voice loud enough for Mikasa to hear but words not formed enough to be understood. A smile quirks up the corners of her lips despite her thoughts, hands submerged in the tepid dish water. 

She does not truly startle at the cracking of a book spine behind her - not after everything that has happened in her life - but it does bring her back to the present. She swishes her hands through the water, searching for more dishes and finding none. She yanks the plug, and the water drains from the sink as she dries her pruney fingers on her apron before taking it off. Behind her, a chair scrapes against the floor. Armin is two steps away, so she doesn't have a chance to turn to meet him. He wraps his arms around her waist. His chin then lands on her shoulder, looking outside with her.

They watch together as Gabi finishes the crown, holding it up with a triumphant grin before her shoulders slouch. Something about it isn’t to her liking (though, from what Mikasa can see, it turned out well for one of her first flower crowns), and she slowly lowers it. Sasha’s squeal makes her jump, tense, but before Gabi can react fully, the little girl reaches out to touch the intertwined stems. She doesn’t take it, just looks at it with wonder. She says things that must be praise because Gabi brightens again, laying the crown on Sasha’s little sunhat. It’s almost as wide as the brim and ends up drooping over it at the front. Sasha looks at it for a moment, tipping forward in her concentration (and likely cross eyed stare). Gabi catches her and they both start to laugh.

“I worry about her so much,” Mikasa says. Sasha starts to shriek from Gabi’s tickling fingers. Armin takes in a breath and lets it out, the warm air tickling her skin and sending the stale scent of her Hizuru tea dancing under her nose. 

“I know,” he says, tightening his arms around her. “You’re - we’re doing the best that we can. I think she’s getting better.” Sasha crawls into her lap and starts kissing Gabi’s face to distract her from the tickling. It never fails to work. Gabi’s sunhat flies off as she falls backward, landing with ease on her back. Mikasa closes her eyes when Sasha sits up on Gabi’s stomach, looking down with concern only to get caught up in tickles again.

“I hope she is,” she whispers, as though there’s any possibility of them being heard over the laughter and cries. Armin squeezes her again but doesn’t respond. It’s a subject that they’ve gone over and over:  one they’ve never argued about or even disagreed on. It lingers and lingers in Mikasa’s mind, always there even if not in the forefront.

Arumika Week Day 2 — Childhood

Cloth soaked in cold water helps with the swelling and the bruise. At least that’s what Mikasa says, and Armin feels inclined to believe her.

Eren’s off somewhere screaming vitriol at a bully, presumably.

[insnkerator]

“So... it doesn’t bother you that I’m taller than you?”

“What?” The question’s caught him off-guard. It’s never occurred to him to be bothered by something like that. A lesser man might -- oh, but technically, she’s just pointed out he is a lesser man, at least height-wise -- 

He finds this hilariously funny. “Well -- no, actually.” Armin’s response dissolves mirthfully into soft laughter. “I like looking up at you.” Just as he’s doing right now. A gentle smile crinkles his eyes. “Has it ever bothered you that my mind is more... complex than yours?”

“No.” Mikasa’s answer is curt, but her soft smile’s a match for his. And frankly, her knees are a little weak, from the look he’s giving her with those soul-piercing, intelligent eyes. “In fact, I count on it. Has it ever bothered you that I’m a better fighter?”

“Huh? --no! Of course not!” Surprise widens his bright blue eyes. “I’ve been counting on that, too!” How could it bother him? Everything about her is amazing. There’s a silence between them as he decides to finally broach the unspoken topic. “Has it ever bothered you how close I am with Eren?”

Her face is impassive as she deadpans back: “Has it ever bothered you how close I am with Eren?”

There’s a heartbeat of silence before they fall into easy chuckles, then into each other, fully embracing the quiet, unshakable confidence of two people that trust in themselves, one another, and the bond they share.

And as the afternoon unfolds, all evidence would point to their complete satisfaction... that neither of them has a single thing to prove.

For Arumika Week - Day 7: AGC MGS Armin’s and Mikasa’s BDE

[rowboat-girlyman]

OwO whats this?

[triglyceride]

“His name's Patches,” Armin explained, flicking one of the long, droopy ears. “I hug him when there are ghosts around.”

“Grisha says ghosts aren't real,” Mikasa said, hugging Patches to her abdomen. She looked at least a little comforted anyway.

Arumika Week day four: Tied up

She will sacrifice him for a blood ritual

[armin-hearteyes-arlert]

Arumika Week Day Five: Time-Skip

I was listening to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi, and I got some serious angst vibes in regards to EMA. I decided for this, however, I would rewrite a bunch of the lyrics to frame it through the lens of time-skip Arumika!

Disclaimer: This is not my song, nor do I claim to own the music. I wrote a good chunk of the lyrics myself, but some still remain Lewis Capaldi’s. The voice, however, is mine. 

Probably best with headphones? I dunno. Enjoy, guys! Love you all!

Someone You Love (song cover by lauren)

I’m holding onto crimson hope—I fear its edges are fraying. With words he yanked it from around my throat, now I’m suffocating. I need somebody to heal, somebody to know, somebody to have, somebody to hold. It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same.  I never thought I’d turn to find you looking my way. 

But now the day bleeds into nightfall and you’re right here to help me through it all. You tore my walls down and then you built me up. Think I’m getting kind of used to being someone you love.

When all is crashing, you’re the only one who knows that I’m breaking. You’ve held me captive in your loving gaze, now you’ve got me aching. To cherish your heart, to know your embrace, to drown in your eyes, to learn how you taste.  It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same. I guess I’m kind of scared we’ll find we’ve made a mistake. 

But now the day bleeds into nightfall And you’re still here to help me through it all. You tore my walls down and then you built me up. Think I’m getting kind of used to being someone you love.

And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes, I fall into your arms. I’ll be safe in your sound ‘til I come back around. For now the day bleeds into nightfall and you’re still here to help me through it all. You tore my walls down and then you built me up. Think I’m getting kind of used to being someone you love.

Now the day bleeds into nightfall and you’re right here to help me through it all. You tore my walls down and then you built me up. Think I’m getting kind of used to being someone you love.

You tore my walls down and then you built me up. Think I’m getting kind of used to being someone you love.
