One thing that gets me about the way Isayama draws Levi, is how well he captures Levi's depression. I don't think it really gets talked about enough, but I think it's fairly obvious that Levi suffers from depression, and it's not clinical with him, but rather a result of the life he's lead. All you have to do is take one look at Levi in the manga, and you can see that he's had a hard life. That he's been through and seen things that are genuinely spirit crushing. He wears that, not only on his face, but in the way he holds himself. He's often almost shrunken in on himself, face down-turned, eyes exhausted, shoulders drooping, like there's a weight pressing down on him. People always talk about Levi having a stoic expression, or a cold, emotionless expression, but I think that's completely wrong. To me, he more often just looks sad. He looks pained. You see this most in shots of Levi when he's just standing around, when he's not engaged in any particular action, when he's in repose. That tells me that Levi's general state of being is a depressed one. And it astounds me that anyone could ever accuse him of being unfeeling, or untouched by the destruction, death and despair around him. I think Levi carries the weight of those things more obviously on him than anyone because he feels the weight of those things more keenly than anyone. It all affects him, it all leaves its mark on him. That he pushes through that pain, the sadness and depression, is testament to his strength, to his commitment to others. But to think every death, every hardship, every instant of suffering doesn't impact Levi to his core is to simply not understand Levi at all. You get as much out of the visuals in "Attack on Titan" as the text, sometimes more, and with Levi, I think it's particularly important to pay attention to the way he looks, because he doesn't often express what he's feeling in words. But he always shows what he's feeling, through his expression, through his body language, the way he holds himself, etc... Levi just strikes me as a hurting unit. He's a deeply, deeply hurt man. He's hurt by the suffering of others, by the struggle and desperation he sees around him, by the unfairness and cruelty of life and the human condition. And it's always so evident, that hurt he feels, just to look at him.

Newest art, the chaos triplets 🥹 I love them so much.

[arminsrealwaifu]

my piece of cent (i have no idea how the saying goes) is that after the war, mikasa went back to their home eren made sure to have been rebuilt after retaking their lands.

eren's belongings are all there. his unkempt and messy room, his laundries, carla's other pair of shoe that he kept, their old utensils, EVERYTHING and with each passing day, his smell fades the way she forgets how green his eyes were...

LOL BYE I THOUGHT OF THIS AND CREW MY EYES OUT

[psychopasss4]

The fact that so many of you love Eren Jaeger shows that you could easily be swayed by a fascist leader. It is embarrassing

✨Levi x reader ✨

“god, you’re so corny”

summary: y/n and Levi’s first date…

tw: none except for some cursing (other then that it’s innocent 😂)

Y/n and Levi had been crushing on each other for awhile. So when Levi finally asked her out (and she said yes) they were both ecstatic. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• “Levi, what the hell!” y/n laughed. Levi Ackerman and y/n l/n we’re walking around town like usual with two frappes. Levi had taken some whipped cream from his and put it on her nose. “there, you did say you wished you had more whipped cream” he smirked. “yeah but you know what I meant, dumbass. god, you’re so corny” “Oh am i the dumbass now? This is coming from the girl who took an IQ test and thought it was graded out of 100” y/n rolled her eyes.

“well, in my defense no one ever told me how those work!” “y/n… you got a 68” Levi said. the girl just stared down into her lap, defeated that for the 10th time that day she’d lost the argument.

“yea whatever” she grumbled. Just as Levi was about to respond his phone went off. “hello?” He said walking a few feet away.

when the call ended Levi hurriedly walked back over to y/n.

“sorry y/n I’ll talk to you later but there’s some stuff I need to work on. My boss just called me.” He smiled weakly. “oh, it’s ok! We do this almost every day after all” she scratches her neck. Which was true. It was their fault morning routine to get coffee or some type of drink together before they headed off to work. But the female couldn’t help but feel a bit upset due to her time being cut short with him. She’s be wrong if she said she didn’t have feelings for Levi. Ever sing middle school she developed a crush on him and it kind of her from there. Levi had the same situation going on. The funniest thing was, it was so obvious they like each other and everyone can tell except for- you guessed it- the people in love. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Levi rushed into his boss’s office since he had called him a few minutes earlier.

“hello sir, what did you need?” He asked politely. “‘Morning mr Ackerman. Due to a few people being absent for various reasons, we needed mrs romona to cover a document for me. Since she was originally going to do this but she can’t now, I’d like to pass it over to you.” His boss began explaining his assignment and he finished with

“if you do well on this emergency notice, I’ll give you a raise! There’s one catch, though”

“and that is…?” Levi askes

“it needs to be done by Friday.” Levi’s mouth dropped. It was Wednesday right now and this was a big matter! But he could use some more respect and a raise so…

about 3 weeks later you were sitting at her and Levi’s usual coffee shop. well I guess now it was just y/n’s. If she was being honest, she hadn’t seen Levi in weeks and she’d tried texting or calling him to catch up but he never answered. She was starting to think he was ghosting her. The girl was so deep in her thoughts she jumped a little when someone said

“looks like someone’s thinking hard” y/n looked up to see the one and only Levi Ackerman. she must’ve been thinking so hard that she wore a scowl. “Levi…”

“hey y/n” he gave a soft smile

“so-“ he cut her off “so whatcha drinking? The usual?” He smirked

“Are you serious? We haven’t seen each other in weeks and you don’t respond to any of my texts and calls! Then you just waltz in here like everything’s ok?!” The h/c girl yells. At this point everyone was looking at them. “Listen y/n I’m so sorry. My boss gave me the chance to earn a raise and I guess I got so caught up into it that I forgot about everything else. I’be just been such a workaholic lately” he explains. Levi takes her hands in his

“to make it up to you… do you maybe wanna go out?” He asks

“like a date?” Y/n questions

“yeah.. like a date”

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• “you look beautiful” Levi compliments the female wearing a tight black dress with a jean jacket. “thanks, you don’t look bad yourself” she laughs. He takes her hand and leads her to his car. “so where are we going again?” “a little place I like to call you’ll see”

“god, you’re so corny”

THIS FUCKING PICTURE IS SO FUNNY

[cosmicjoke]

“Why the hell can't we sympathize with a character that isn't like us? Why do they have to be what we are in order for us to care about them? Why do we have to see ourselves in everything?”

Thank you for this. As much as I understand that a part of connecting to literature (or media in general, whatever), when young, depends on how much that is relatable to your own experience, and that is why fair representation is important, I think that like many other things this need has been bastardized and commodified. Now you can’t connect to a character unless you convince your followers that the characters has the same sexual orientation/gender/ethnicity/brain as you do (but in an argument when you remove your personal need from it, and present your need as a hard truth that everybody has to agree to, or else).

You think it helps diversity; in fact, it only makes people see characters as recyclable labels, and people as well.

While I don’t think all the people that do this are assholes (it’s such a widespread trend, claiming I don’t know, bisexuality for this or that other character, that is mainly about being young, insecure, wanting to belong… then there are indeed assholes among those, but not all, and a lot depends on group dynamics, and pervasive violence in internet discussion spaces), I wish there was a clear understanding that the best thing you can do when experiencing stories is to find commonality with people different than you, and that knowing that commonality is part of the human condition, and not because they have the same X diagnosis you have.

*sigh*

Exactly, and well said.

And no, not all of them are assholes, just the ones that harass others and literally try to force their pathological need for these characters to be self-inserts onto everyone else. When they start becoming aggressive and hostile toward anyone who doesn't accept their headcanons as canon, then there's a problem. And those seem to be the ones that dominate fandom spaces, and make the general experience of fandom miserable.

And like I said, this absolute refusal to acknowledge that this or that character isn't them and doesn't encapsulate who they are and what they identify as, is often indicative of how they'll treat people in the real world, flying off the handle at anyone who expresses different views to the ones they hold, or isn't what they are (i.e. this general hatred and demeaning attitude toward anyone who isn't like them, or isn't part of whatever group they identify with).

The idea of story telling, as you said, is to find commonality even with people who AREN'T like you, and through that, to find empathy for one another through our shared humanity. But we've gotten to a point in society now where racial or sexual or gender essentialism has taken over, where once the goal was to render these things obsolete and recognize them as arbitrary and thus non-essential in judging another person. Instead we make them the only thing that matters about someone, and that's also reflected in this obsession with making every character gay, or trans, or nonbinary, or bisexual, or whatever. Because we make those arbitrary characteristics the most essential part of who we are, then we also want to make them the most essential characteristic of everyone else too, including fictional characters, and yeah, it ends up homogenizing everything, instead of creating actual diversity.

Relating this to Levi specifically, it's particularly ironic, since Levi is the most empathetic character in the story, and that empathy extends to people who are very, very different from him. The people that try to force Levi into a box then are completely missing the entire core of his character. Levi should be teaching us about the importance of compassion and empathy and kindness, but instead these people display this attitude toward Levi where, if they can't mold him into exactly what they want him to be, then in their eyes, he's worthless.
