Magnifico Backstory/Angst

so the poll came in and a lot of you guys wanted that Magnifico Angst.

And after procastinating, I got part one done. I'm going to break it up into 2 or 3 parts, since I am still writing it out. But I wanted to show you guys what I got so far.

Im not going to say anything on the context. That is something you have to figure out for yourself. But some things you should know, is that his real name is Magnus. "Magnifico", or the name "The Great Magnifico" is the name given to him by the people. I'm not saying for what, that is something for you guys to figure out for yourself. However, the clues will be laid out for you :3

Plus, it is not gonna be written how it would be in a movie. It is simply going to be written like a book.

Anyways, here you guys go! I hope you guys enjoy it 💕

Author's notes:

There will be mentions of death and missing body parts in the next following parts. I advise you to please walk away if anything that grosses or disturbs you. This story is taking in the horror aspects, although subtle, will be present within these parts.

Pαɾƚ Oɳҽ

It's your fault. It's your fault.  They're all dead. And it's all your fault.

Magnus felt a rush of pain swell from his body as he opened his eyes. He groaned in response, feeling like he was getting eaten alive by a pack of snakes, being burned alive, and drowning in the ocean all at the same time. Sure, he had gotten hurt before, but this was different. 

Magnus' ears rang with noise, making him light headed. He tried to touch his face, only to be met with the same feeling he felt when he woke up, so he stopped his pursuit, grunting at the pain.

  His vision was all blurry, only making out the details of the tent he was in. Magnus laid there blinking a few times so his vision can clear up. He stared into the tent, recollecting himself.

Magnus tried to think back on how he got here, or what even happened to him, but his memory was blank. Sure, he had literally just woke up, but he couldn't shake this awful feeling in his chest. Something bad happened, and he couldn't remember what it was. Magnus sat up, even though he clearly is not in the correct state to do so, he did it anyway. Just to see if there were any clues to what happened and how he got there. It would at least put his mind at ease...hopefully.

He first decided to examine his condition. He knew his face was banged up, given the pain he felt when he tried to even touch it. He looked at his arm, which normally would have a sleeve pulled over it, was now scorched off, and replaced with burn marks instead. He had bandages wrapped around his stomach, but he knew better not to take it off. Magnus began to wonder if whatever happened to him, was something he was fighting. And whatever it was, he couldn't beat it. It sent a shiver down his spine. No, he had to. Maybe they both got the best of each other...right? Magnus tried to shake the awful feeling he is having by examining the tent, hoping to get better clues. 

He noticed a lantern overhanging him, with moths and other insects buzzing around it. It made Magus annoyed by the noise they made. He wanted to eject some magic to blast those insects into the nether regions, but he was just too tired to do so, and he knew he would only worsen his condition. So he didnt. He saw creates of recipes (which he can assume belonged to his wife, Amaya) sat beside him, unorganized and scattered. Magnus knew his wife was more of the organizer in comparison to him, she wasnt the messy type. From the way the scattered materials were on the ground, it was almost like she was in a rush...but why? There was other belongings that he didnt really notice at first, but he later realized it was his books and journals he got when he, Amaya, and a group of travelers were off adevturing, looking for the perfect place to call home (and also doing some monster hunting along side it. How else were they gonna get food on the table?). But they were also amongst the ground of scattered materials. He leaned over and grabbed one of the open books that caught his attention, and looked at the cover: "The untold magic of Stars".

Ah he remembered that book! He found it when a robber tried to steal supplies from his group years ago. He failed of course, and ran off into the fairies coven before Magnus could stop the robber. They dropped that book in the process. Magnus always wondered why the robber needed it or if he even survived the fairies coven (Yes, fairies are not very nice unlike the Pixie Hollows series from disney. They're like the complete opposite of them). The book was very interesting indeed. It was written by someone who had made contact with the stars and was able to explore their powers, with the Star's help. Of course, he didn't know if it was ever true or not. He heard this book was not very popular with other wizards like him. From what he remembered when he read it, stars can move mountains, create things out of thin air, and shape-shift into various creatures! Can be ones that exist, or ones that never did. It was super interesting, but then it started talking about how there is another realm and how the Star came to his world, and well...it lost him at that part. But why was Amaya looking through it? It didn't make sense. She was more of a alchemist. She doesn't really read his books, unless she needs it for an experiment with a new recipe. He picked up a few more open books, and looked at the covers. A lot of them were from astronomers, which was still odd to him. The others were just recipies for healing wounds, which really concerned him. 

As he started thinking about the worst possible ways of why Amaya would have these books open, he stopped when he heard voices outside. He looked up to see a moving light through the tent, which he can assume was either a lanturn or a torch. They still continued talking as they passed his tent. He couldn't make out what they were saying, they were speaking in more hushed up voices after all, but he heard one heard that made his heart skip a beat. "Amaya".

His wife's name echoed through his head like a drum, it felt like he was going to pass out. Amaya. This whole time he was just trying to figure out what happened to him, but didnt even consider if his wife was even okay. And given his condition, Magnus assumed the worst. He cursed angrily at himself as he quickly laid down the books, and got up from the ground...before he landed flat on his face. And overflow of pain wept through his stomach, like nothing he ever felt before. He couldn't really describe what it felt like, probably the closest thing to it is when he fought a dragon. But he didn't have time to think about it. His mind was just overwhelmed with worry about Amaya. Magnus need to know that she was okay. Or....if she is even alive. He slowly got off the ground, laying his hand on on of the crates to help him get up. Great. He could barely walk. But it just brought more questions into his head that he didn't have time to think about. He looked around to see if there was anything that would help him walk a bit easier, but he didn't see anything that would help. He sighed in annoyance before he limped out the tent.

Closing Notes

Yeah thats a lot wasn't it?

This part was pretty short but alas, I think I got what I wanted from what I made.

My main goal was to present this as if it was a mystery. And I know you probably have some questions, but I assure you, those questions are supposed to be there and it is okay to ask them. Not only that, I personally do like describing things when I am up to the task of doing so. The old draft is a lot faster and not clear on what I wanted, so I decided to put more description into it and it helped. When you're telling through a perspective, think about how they might be feeling, thinking, or what their surroundings are. It pulls people in and makes them feel intrigued. There are so many ways to write stories, I'm just the few who does it because I'm either bored or...yeah just bored.

Going back to Magnus here, you guys are probably shocked. Didn't I say his name was Magnifico? Yes I did, but drafts changes and so do thoughts. The name "Magnifico" sounded something people would dub someone when they accomplish something (if you look at it possitively. The most common of these is bullies name calling someone based on how they look or something they did). I decided his full label should be "The Great Magnifico". What makes him so great? Well, from what you read so far, what do you think?

I want people to be thinking about what they read. Sure, you don't have too, but it is fun thinking about something you love doing, and questioning your own characters. My oc, Axe, for example, was a character I really like, but after getting perspectives from how my friends presive him (aside of all the jokes we make of him), it makes me think differently about him, and realize I can do more with his character.

All and all, writing is something that is fun to do. Although I'm not the best at writing, I sort of notice that the pacing felt a bit rushed in this one, I'm pretty satisfied with what I wrote :3

Anyways, good day Rosas, Imma be back for you

RATE THE EPISODE 172 responses

This week’s episode keeps up the high mark of the previous episodes, with 98.8% of respondents giving the episode a score of 3 or higher (overwhelmingly 4s and 5s). Nice!

It was aight. 

It's cool

8.5/10 

great!

Very rocky imo in terms of animation, as the cracks are beginning to show but overall look like the backgrounds and music choices were top tier.

Really good episode, I was disappointed in the jacket scene but it’s not the end of the world

loved it

It was overall a great episode I loved it. 

🔥🔥🔥

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MOMENTS WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 174 responses

46.6% of respondents overall were most excited to see Eren meeting up with Floch and the others, with 23.6% of those respondents favoring the scene of Eren putting on his jacket specifically. 12.1% most enjoyed seeing the angry citizens shouting out the Survey Corps motto. 9.8% were thrilled to see Zackley’s death animated. 8% were psyched to see Pieck in disguise at the end, and 6.9% most enjoyed the moment where Hitch caught Armin red-handed trying to touch Annie’s crystal.

YOUR REACTION TO EREN PUTTING ON HIS JACKET? 171 responses

Eren putting on his jacket was a scene many obsessed over when it first appeared on page and many looked forward to seeing it animated. Most of the response choices were focused on various forms of swooning over Eren and his abs. Some (13.5%) stated that they didn’t really understand the dramatism and some others (another 13.5%) simply stated that they did not see much in Eren outright. We’ve gotten a lot of write-ins about comparisons to the pre-animated trailer shot of said scene. More on that in a later question. 

i mean i understand the thirst, but eh

Prefer manga :/

The trailer did it better 

Meh. Better in the trailer and the manga.

TF was that? Well it's still good in its own way. 

YES! YES! YES! YES! Y E S! 

both "HOOOOOLYYYYYY 😳" and "so dramatic and for what?"

Trailer/Manga shot was way better

Manga shot/trailer version are way better. Dissapointed

Trailer looked better :(

Mappa only made Reiner thicc, why Eren is so frain he has 1,85! He is so strong in the manga

I don't care

Manbun.........👀

He can have my babies anytime 😌💅🏻

Not as sexy as advertised; that’s okay, though.

That scene looked weird af ngl. It looked better in the trailer 😔

Me after THAT eren scene: 🤰🏻🤰🏻🤰🏻

Eren makes my dick rise

ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW HAPPY ARE YOU NOW THAT WE APPEAR TO BE GOING BACK TO LEVI AND ZEKE’S PERSPECTIVE NEXT WEEK FOR A BIT? 171 responses

Levi and Zeke’s chemistry has been the subject of praise for many, so it’s no wonder that 87.1% of respondents are rather excited to get back to seeing Levi and Zeke again. Wow!

ARE ARMIN’S FEELINGS FOR ANNIE GENUINELY HIS OWN? 173 responses

Armin’s feelings for Annie have been looked at under a microscope for a variety of reasons, which is why we’re asking if you believe that his feelings for her are genuine. A plurality, 49.1% think that they’re a mixture of his feelings for her, as well Bertolt’s. Slightly less (30.6%) believe that Armin’s feelings for her existed since before any of the recent developments. Only a select few believe that he either became interested in her post-timeskip or that his feelings are solely influenced by Bertolt. One person doesn’t think Armin has any feelings for Annie at all. And a few others just don’t care.

Bertmin simping for Annie and that apparently being enough for her to start considering him as boyfriend material is the fucking worst. I hate this shit. It's made me like both characters considerably less.

Uhh Armin where ya reaching?! 

He was interested with her even before it was revealed she was the Female Titan and now that he has Bertholdt's memories, he sympathizes with her too and wants to understand her more so maybe Bert's memories intensified his feelings

His feelings for Annie are mostly his own. Bert's feelings might be in there a little, but the feelings are still Armin's.

CONTINUITY ALERT! EREN HAS HIS HAIR UP IN A BUN IN YELENA’S FLASHBACK. THOUGHTS? 173 responses

Uh-oh, Eren’s hairstyle moment. It would appear that there might be a continuity error with Yelena’s flashback and whatever that means for the timeline. A slight plurality (37%) didn’t seem to care about this, actually. But 33.5% appeared to believe that it was a mistake on MAPPA’s part that might get fixed in the BluRay version of the episode. 16.8% also believe that it was a mistake, but don’t believe it’ll get fixed. 9.8% think that it’s actually a retcon and that Eren’ll have the man bun when Chapter 123 gets adapted in Final Season Part 2.  

I hope it gets fixed because it's bugging me.

I really wish it was like how it was in the manga. Eren looks good with his hair down in his 16-17-year-old phase. Despite the error, it wasn't a deal breaker for the episode.

He looks totally gorgeous with his hair up in a bun, please let this mistake be

Honestly I don’t mind it. It looks great either way.

Eren in a manbun is a total win for me!

WHICH PIECES OF INFORMATION MISSING FROM YELENA’S ADMISSION IN THE MANGA DO YOU WISH WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ADAPTATION? 163 responses

As with almost all dialogue-heavy chapters in this series, there are cuts. In this episode, these cuts mostly affected the conversation between Yelena and Pixis. The most yearned for cut material was Yelena never telling Eren to go along with the plan and Yelena saying that she used Floch as a “go-between” between her and Eren. Others also noted missing lines about Yelena wanting Eren to stand up for himself, Yelena stating that Zeke gave the volunteers a hopeful future and the idea that her and Eren came to quick agreement. The plurality (31.9%) however, didn’t seem to mind any cuts. 

WHAT ARE YOU OVERALL FEELINGS ABOUT SOME OR ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED DETAILS BEING CUT? 161 responses

There is often a sort of expectation to have everything (or almost every) line from the manga adapted in the anime, so it’s interesting to see how people react to that sort of stuff. An almost 50% of respondents stated that they didn’t really care about the cuts, whereas smaller handfuls of respondents stated that the cuts either took away from the characterization of the conversation, or from the context and timeline-building purposes. 

I'm not thrilled about the cuts, but I understand MAPPA can only fit so much in on each episode, so I'm okay with it

the yelena/volunteers plot has always been wonky and hard to follow

I don’t think it’s a problem, they need to cut certain things. 

i literally never notice but i agree that it makes it harder to piece things together 

Meh

It might seem for anime watchers that Yelena didnt do much, and Floch and Zeke that did the most part, in their own plans. Floch to betray and Zeke in predicting Eren wouldnt be on his side in some way. Yelena helped Zeke a lot to where he arrived in the rumbling 

All of the above

ZACKLEY WALKS OVER TO HIS TORTURE MACHINE IN THE ANIME BEFORE MIKASA ASKS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO EREN, RATHER THAN GLANCE OVER AT IT AFTER HER QUESTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CHANGE? 170 responses

There was a partially comedic insinuation in the manga that Zackley thought about strapping Eren to his “art piece”. The insinuation is possibly still there in the anime, but in a different form. So we asked how you felt about it. Slightly below a half (48.8%) stated that they thought the subtlety was still there. 18.8% thought the subtlety was lost with the small change and 8.8% believed the change made Zackley seem less unhinged. 21.8% really didn’t care at all. 

Why is this a question?

The glance was funny as fuck in the manga, but might have been awkward to pull of in the animation

They're blown up tho, does it even matter?

DID EREN KNOW ABOUT THE BOMB? 170 responses

Whether Eren truly knew about the bomb is a bit unclear to this day and with how it endangered Armin and Mikasa. A plurality (40%) believe he knew about the bomb, but did not know about his childhood friends meeting Zackley. Slightly less (30.6%) think that Eren did not know about either the bomb or AM meeting the Artist. A minority (7.1%) does believe that Eren knew about both the bomb and meeting and 21.8% simply aren’t sure!

Even if he didn’t know, he obviously doesn’t care either way.

THERE IS SOME DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER EREN’S JACKET SCENE WAS BETTER ANIMATED IN THE PROMOTIONAL VIDEO OR IN THE EPISODE ITSELF. WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE? 170 responses

Here we go… The elephant in the room… Which Eren abs scene did you prefer? The Promotional video or the actual episode? A somewhat slight majority (57.1%) seemed to like the version seen in the promotional video more than the episode itself versus the ones who preferred the episode’s style (42.9%).

THE EPISODE MARKS THE BEGINNING OF FLOCH’S ACTIONS AS THE VOICE OF THE YEAGERISTS. HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT IT? 170 responses

Floch has always been a controversial character and the developments seen post-time skip have not been any less debatable. You may floching love him or floching hate, but he’s here and he’s staying for a while. A plurality (48.8%) notes that although they may not personally be a fan of the character, they truly do appreciate the nuance his appearance gives to the story. Just over a quarter (25.3%) stated that as big fans of the character, they’re looking forward to all the screentime the Flochster will receive. In contrast, 20.6% despise the man and his questionable haircut and are also dreading the showcase he’ll soon receive.  

I hate Floch and will cheer again when he dies, but I enjoy his character.

I detest Floch but I'm not dreading all the screen time he'll take up.

Since he died in the manga, my hatred for him has cooled down somewhat now that I'm watching the anime.

I am once again asking for you to shut the fuck up, Floch.

WE KNOW NOW THAT EREN DID CONSPIRE WITH FLOCH TO BETRAY ZEKE TO ENACT THE RUMBLING. STILL, DO YOU BELIEVE HE DID IT BECAUSE HE HAS THE SAME BELIEFS AS FLOCH, OR WAS HE JUST USING FLOCH AND THE YEAGERISTS AS A MEANS TO AN END? 161 responses

An overwhelming amount of respondents (87.6%) stated that they believe Eren never truly saw eye to eye with Floch and his ideology and that Eren was simply using Floch as a means to an end. In contrast, 9.3% truly do think that Eren was ideologically similar to Floch and the “New Eldian Empire”. A select few thought you couldn’t just say one way or another. 

They both wanted to protect Paradis

DO YOU THINK IF THE YEAGERISTS, BESIDES FLOCH, KNEW ABOUT THE FULL SCALE RUMBLING BEFOREHAND THAT THEY WOULD WILLINGLY FOLLOW EREN? 167 responses

The majority (53.3%) feel that the Yeagerists would see a divide if they knew beforehand that Eren wanted to initiate the rumbling, with some sticking around for the cause and others possibly leaving because it’s too extreme. 25.1% believe that they all would have fully supported the rumbling in the name of their own survival. 15% believe that every Yeagerist already knew about the plan to commence the rumbling, and only 6% feel that they would most certainly have betrayed the Yeager brothers (and Floch) if they had known. 

I don’t know, this is a loaded question and I’m tired.

DO YOU THINK THAT, IF THE STORY ENDS PEACEFULLY, MIKASA WILL HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN HIZURU? 170 responses

While this plotline may not be going anywhere in the manga (or so it seems), the reminder of its existence is brought to light again as we revisit these older moments from the manga. 32.4% feel that Mikasa wouldn’t leave Paradis behind to start a life on Hizuru. 23.5% think that she wouldn’t leave Paradis behind, necessarily, but will still have a role to play in Hizuru. 21.2% think it doesn’t matter because Isayama has completely discarded (or forgotten) about this plotline. 12.4% don’t know what to predict (if anything) and only 8.2% believe that her future lies in Hizuru beyond the main storyline.

The last two options plus me not caring. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hizuru is already rumbled, gone, but she will continue the azumabito clan in paradis

Is no one else gonna question Kiyomi's hair being sucked into her skull??? HELLO MA'AM???

Hizuru is likely flattened

WHICH SCENE FROM THE PREVIEW ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? 171 responses

Episode 72 has already broadcasted as of the completion of this poll. For scenes that were most anticipated, 35.7% were most looking forward to seeing Levi and Zeke’s interaction in the forest. 33.3% most looked forward to Niccolo leaning straight from Gabi’s mouth that she is Sasha’s killer. 18.7% highly anticipated the Blouses learning about Gabi killing Sasha, and 9.4% were looking forward to Gabi/Falco and the Blouses gathering at Niccolo’s restaurant. Only a small amount were looking forward to Niccolo protecting Jean and Connie from drinking the wine.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?

Man the animation was gonky 

no levi </3

So many faces of Niles are weirds !

Let hange aloneeeeeeee and happy, please

I have no word for this, but I feeling good

Shit is getting really real now! 

Everyone talking about Eren’s abs and I just wanna say the music in that scene was amazing!

I loved how it was all neatly put together and fast moving

Armin looked so good. Homie walked from point A to B and i SCREAMED. Thank you. 

i wish they included eren's warhammer escape from the prison, besides that solid episode all around, the people chanting 'dedicate your hearts' gave me chills 

I can't stand Hitch at all but MAPPA made her really pretty. Re: The jacket scene The trailer version was pretty much identical to the manga panel. But I liked the version that made it into the final episode too. People have been so ridiculous about MAPPA ""ruining everything"" this season, they should stop watching if that's how they feel. I thought Eren looked great and found the sun shining on his abs funny. The scenery was better in the episode, imo. I hope they don't cut Jean's line about booze not caring about what race you are. Lmao

Meh. It's not bad of course, I just find the rythm weird and I don't really feel many emotions watching the episodes. And I was so thirsty for the jacket scene, and it turned out weird too.

Mappa pls stop drawing eren like shit he is gorgeous in the manga

MMGH SOON!! LET'S GOOOOOOO

You friccin moron, you just got zooked!

i miss eremin </3

Wish they had shown how eren used his titan powers to escape.

I'm so not looking forward to the controversy that's gonna be reignited during the EMA talk scene. I'm actually dreading it, but we'll finally get the Levi vs Beast Titan scene so I'll be fine

112 will destroy ships 

I felt the animation was flawless as usual but the script was kinda boring, I expected more of these aspects: -Yelena, it was bland with the cuts -Hange, they cut something I cant figure what in this Yeagerists coup act that turned her scenes a little bit lacking? Idk something -Again the soundtrack in the episodes is so silent. The only episode so far I liked the ost beyond the Opening and Closing themes is Reiner episode. I miss the melodrama of Witstudio osts

Eren putting his jacket on in slow-speed whilst talking at regular speed is fucking trippy

Just happy to see Hitch!

It was slow and mainly plot driven. I enjoyed it despite the changes.

goddamn is that a hella well-animated explosion

more abs please

Great episode. Really ridiculous how many people overreacted about the jacket scene. It's ok to perfer the way the trailer did it but to those who say Mappa is ruining the adaptation because of minor things like this, calm down. 

I wish the jacket scene was better But over all the ep is pretty good

Boring, but then again so was this phase in the manga.

I really like the VA they chose for Onyankopon! His voice is very warm and genuine, which suits his character well

The sunset was so aesthetically pleasing 

yoooo just read ch. 138 and im crying in da club :(

These MAPPA episodes have been a low point for me. I’m trying to enjoy them because I love this story but it feels like a chore.
