[eli0004]

Ever wondered where the Veterans would take you on a date?

Contains: Erwin Smith, Levi Ackerman, Hange Zoe

Synopsis: brief Headcannons about where the Vets would take you on a date

Warnings: None

Erwin smith? Applebee’s💀

lmfao I’m joking, but the way i see it, Erwin strikes me as the goofy, endearingly cringy, single dad type of guy that really believes Applebee’s is the epitome of fine dining. Thankfully, he listens when Levi tells him to have a little class💀

In all seriousness, I think he’d be the type to take you wine tasting, go to see live music performances at local venues, or browsing a cute little craft market on a crisp spring morning.

He’d clean up nice beforehand, probably wear some jeans and a button up shirt, and this man would smell…so…fucking…good😩 like fresh powdery cologne and spearmint gum. You’d get in his car and he’d already have your favorite coffee order in the cupholder waiting for you. Omg i love him

Levi Ackerman? Tea shops, local bakeries, art museums, bookstores, theater.

Levi has a love for the arts, and anything intellectually stimulating. He likes to take his time getting to know the person he’s interested in, so he wouldn’t want to do any kind of activity he couldn’t talk during. It’s a common headcannon among us Levi lovers that he’s an acts of service kind of guy, so you know he’ll be always observing what kind of pastries you order, what kind of tea you like, or your favorite genre of book.

When Levi takes interest in someone, he doesn’t take them for granted. He’s always perusing, always chasing, always loving, so diligently. Gas will never be an issue, this man will drive you across town and back 4 times if you asked him to. He plans dates ahead of time, and always comes prepared, with a wallet full of cash and a tank full of gas, and If he ends the night empty handed, he’ll call it a job well done.

Hange Zoe? Hikes, smoke sesh on the roof, metaphysical shops, farmers markets, picnics, nature walks, the zoo.

Hange is one of those earthly granola people. They’re 100% vegan, grounded to the world around them, and a huge animal lover, so i love the idea that they’ll want to go on a hike to bird watch or pet some moss. Just imagine how cute it would be, you’re both walking around in a stream in the woods, pant legs hiked up around your calves, looking for pretty colored stones for your collection. The sun is peaking through the tree line and you both smell like sweat and sunscreen and earth. Hange finds a turtle or a small frog and catches it to show you🥹 they make me so soft. They’ll also 100% get sunburnt on their nose and cheeks because they can’t ever remember to apply sunscreen there.

Hange is the type to love taking photos of you on dates, and add them to the photo wall in their apartment. If you go to visit, the two of you will pack a bowl and laugh about the memories you have together as you look over the pictures, some kind of cozy music playing in the background.

Married Life

(taglist: @21aurora @deepzombieyouth )

Married life with Erwin would be a mixed show of different aesthetics.

On one hand you’d have the regal and formal Commander, with his beautiful and poised SO either sat at his side during meetings or lacing your arm through his while on a walk through the towns.

Elegance, power, a dark and romantic acidamia vibe surrounding the two of you…This is how the people would interpret your relationship on a daily basis.

But for those closer to the man’s inner circle, they’d see a whole other side to your relationship.

One where his arm was thrown around your shoulder as you casually sat in the mess hall of HQ for breakfast, with your hand placed over his on the table top in domestic familiarity.

They’d see the soft smiles and jabs of of inside jokes passed between the two of you in off duty hours.

He’d always hold the hand that held your ring, rubbing comforting circles against the back of your hand while making small talk with his veteran companions.

The innocent, or sometimes suggestive, display of affection would always warm the room you occupied with your man.

And for those who were closest to the two of you?

Dear god, they got to see nearly all the many layers of your love.

Walking into Erwin’s office only to see the two of you sprawled out on the couch laughing your asses off over some story he’d been telling you was a common occurrence.

Miche couldn’t count on his two hands how many times he’d walked in to see you sitting on top of Erwin’s desk as he worked on signing documents, tying his hair up in goofy styles for the fun of it.

And poor Hange had learned to knock on your shared bedroom door before barging in with a report.

Hange had undoubtedly seen just how much he loved you, more than their other friends would ever want to.

Expect many jokes to come from them after this encounter the morning after.

“Seems you’re balls deep in love with her, Erwin~”

“Hange, that’s not appropriate,” Erwin would sigh in exasperation.

“But I mean…They’re not wrong,” you’d butt into the conversation with a snicker.

Cue a horrified Levi nearly dropping his teacup from the other end of the table.

The point is; there’s many layers to the love Erwin has for you, and you him. Wether anyone on the outside always got to see it or not, everyone knew the two of you were inseparable.

[the-traveling-poet]

factual. cannon, if you will

Non tickling related, but I’ve been watching back through a bunch of old Erwin content people have put out there, and I’m in love with the dichotomy of his character. He’s a sociopathic killing machine and a dad at the same time and I think it’s incredibly funny. 

Like, he would for sure send a whole troop of soldiers to their death if he thought it would in any way, shape, or form help their mission against the Titans after having brought that same group of soldiers a puppy several days before to boost moral. 

Lose an arm, walk it off, scrape your knee, come here champ let me put a band-aid on that boo-boo for you. 

I feel like this applies to Levi too. He would send him out on a mission that promises almost certain death without blinking and then get mad when Levi doesn’t take his cold medicine. 

“I don’t care if it tastes gross, we need our strongest soldier in fighting shape” 

“Last week you had me kill a Titan with two broken legs and a concussion”

“You won though? 🤨”

Attack on Titan Actor AU (part 3)

Levi likes to take pictures on set, he has a folder for each cast members. He shares them on his socials during their birthdays.

Bertholdt keeps a notebook on him, he writes down songs ideas.

There was a rumour about Eren and Mikasa dating, the actors both denied it when Eren posted a picture of him with Mikasa's boyfriend.

Armin has a major in archeology.

When the shooting ends very late Jean likes to cheer on his castmates to bring some energy.

Sasha and Reiner often send food trucks to everyone on set to thank them for their hard work.

Historia makes origamies in her trailer and gives it to the cast.

Erwin adopted his horse after finishing his part on the series.

Connie is the best at keeping a serious face during filming.

Hange hides snacks on set so that she could eat them between takes.

Ymir cried so much during filming her final scene, they had to stop shooting so that she calms down.

Pieck forget her lines a lot when filming with Zeke because she finds him intimidating.

Yelena's real voice is really soft she just aggravate it for the character.

Zeke teenage crush was Hange, he was very honored to share screen with her. Hange in return teases him a lot about this info.

After his performance, Marco got a lot of job offers, but he decided to quite acting and become a doctor.

Annie cried when she watched the finale episode.

aot veteran/104 corp icks bc im back on my bullshit

someone requested AOT veteran icks, they didn't specify nsfw or not so I did both and also added sasha connie and jean bc i luv them:) feel free to message/inbox with requests!

(levi, erwin, hange, jean, sasha and connie)

Levi

will visit ur place and organize things without you asking. he'd just be like "ur welcome, now your kitchen makes sense" and ur like sir, I don't know where anything is now??? also he'd def the type to proclaim he's better than you for only getting two hours of sleep when you got four. honestly so many icks come to mind for this one, imma limit it to those two for now (stay tuned lol)

nsfw: tries to be rough with you but forgets his own strength. will try to throw you on the bed, but he does it too hard so you completely miss the bed and fall on the other side of it and he's just standing there like "🧍🏻...my bad."

Erwin

you cannot convince me this man doesn't wear water shoes at the pool. you guys say you want a dilf until you actually get one bc this is the type of shit it entails^^

nsfw: erwin cannot dirty talk for shit. im srry but if you're a lil kinky this isn't the man for you. try to call him daddy and he'd be like "we don't have kids?" and you explain the kink to him and he'd just say, "have you considered therapy?🤨" now he's concerned, boner gone, you feel called out, just go to sleep tbh

Hange

they're def a firm believer in natural deodorant and won't take the graceful hints that it's not working. prob wouldn't chill w them on a hot day is all i'm saying

nsfw: feel like they'd be really good in bed tbh like i'm struggling to think of an ick. hange has big dick energy, weirdos just do it better idk. i think maybe hange would try to spit in your mouth (they a freak) and they have so much and its thick and globby like the back of the throat type spit, your gonna choke bro im gagging as a i type-

Jean

bring back toxic masculinity because Jean's hair care routine is so good to the point he'll call out your split ends, i just know it

nsfw: a fucking chatterbox like his homies know everything. you've walked in on him telling connie in extreme detail how he had you in a full nelson last night while you screamed bloody murder and he doesn't see why ur mad. "babe, if anything i'm bragging about you 😏" fucking idiot istg. also kinda gross but I think he's the type to keep sniffing his fingers after fingering you like well into the next day EWW

Sasha

obvi she can't share for shit so I think she'd be an annoying person to eat out with. like yk when you're with your friends and only one person puts their card down so the rest can Venmo them? I think you can ask her to Venmo 20 and she'd send 15 and say something like "oh I didn't eat as many fries" but she fr did. never puts her card down either so believe it or not? jail.

nsfw: will literally be on her phone mid-sex with you. feel like she'd be really into the subway surfer vids and yeah, you go down on her and look up and she brought her own entertainment? ipad child behavior

Connie

i think he'd say "we" when talking about his fave sports team as if he contributed. like, "really connie, you helped win the superbowl? did you score a touchdown?" grow tf up

nsfw: insane bush on this one, i feel like he doesn't groom for shit and whatever, that's your choice! but I also feel like college-aged modern connie would talk shit about women who weren't bald down there and won't eat it unless it is. HYPOCRITE!! I think when he gets to his mid-twenties tho he'd mature (sasha beat his ass)

[sinning-23]

Can we have a first kiss scenario with bertholdt and whoever else you want, thanks

OF COURSEEE! HERES PT 2 of the my first kiss headcannons!

Ps. Sorry this took so long I had to rewrite a part after it got deleted and it made my UPSETTI

Bertholdt

Your first kiss was in secret. You had been dating the tall and quiet brunette for a while and after dinner in the dinning hall you two had decided to walk for a bit together. He was a hel of a whole lot taller than you so when you did finally kiss he was bent down to meet your lips. He’s quick to have a grip around the back of your neck as the kiss manages to deepen. Times like these the height difference is a nuisance, so he doesn’t hesitate to pull you up a bit more while you stand on your tiptoes.

His face is beet red and you can’t help but laugh.

“Did you want to walk jsut so you could kiss me away from everyone?” You ask, your hand overlapping his, which was still on your neck.

His blush darkens. Guilty

"I-I just dont like the idea of everyone see us do that. I get teased you know." He admits as you chuckle, pressing another kiss to his lips and soon his cheek, and finally all over his face.

Levi

It was an accident. You had only done it out of reflex. Everyone deserved forehead kisses before a good night rest. Thats just like- science (Hanji strongly disagrees that it’s science)

Anyway, yo u had been up finishing paperwork with one another and he had slipped into a nap, his head was rested against his hand and he would sometimes fall forward, startling himself awake. This time however, he hadn’t dropped his head at all, and his breathing had become far deeper.

A smile falls over your lips and you stupidly pressed your lips to the captains temple.

He shoots awake, glaring at you as if you were spontaneously combusting.

“Did you just kiss my forehead l/n?

You are free, trying to find a way to explain yourself without coming across as a complete and utter fool.

"I-I...Captain, I apologize. It was out of habit." You gulp, seeing him furrow his brows a bit before resting his head completely don't he desk.

"Uh-huh. Dismissed l/n."

Erwin

It wasn’t common knowledge that Erwin was a married man, but even though you were somewhat secret, you relished in being his lifelong partner. You first kiss was actually at the wedding.

It was the tiniest ceremony, only some of Erwin’s closest colleagues and friends. He said a few words, the whole scene feeling as if you two eloped more than got married.

PDA wasnt particualart something Erwin favored and given both of your current positions it was wise to keep your relationship hidden, especially when Erwin had plant y targets on his back. The last thing he wanted was for harmt o come to you.

On the day of your 'ceremony' You decided that you should at least be out of uniform and dressed nicely with one of your favorite shirts and pants. Ernwin had done the same and here you were standing in front of one another.

He doesnr speak whwn he slips teh ring onto your finger, he only lingers there, his eyes fxated on the band now secure on your body. Like some form of ownership. it was odd but somewhat comforting? It would have relieved him far more if he had know you'd felt the same that day. whe you slipped the metal loop onto his had in return.

"I suppose this makes me your wife now." You hum, hand creeping up to child his face. He's exhausted, but so are you. Taking a chance eon love in this world was a risk but one he was open to talking with you.

"I suppose so." He responds, his lips pressing to yours in a sweet, and sealing kiss.

Hanji

Hanji was chaotic to say the least, but that was all the more reason to love them. On this particularly hot summer evening, There was much work to be done while they filed the reports from their experiments. You on the other hand simply sat pretty atop the center while they paced back and forth between stored specimens and paper to scribble on.

You'd quite fond of them, sticking around at hours of the night to listen to ramblings about titans and new discoveries. Of course, you hadn't told them that seeing as you were supposed to remain professional and a crush on your superior was far from that. Anyway, Hanji had asked is you seen this super important vial they needed and lo and behold it was behind you.

So, like any sensible person would, you grabbed it and handed it to them with a soft smile.

“AH! I could just kiss you!” Hanji cheers, holding your face before pressing the silliest, most comical kiss to your forehead before strutting out the lab to complete whatever new task was at the forefront of their mind.

Miche

It wasn’t your first kiss…but your last. Apparently there had been a breach in the wall and now you were tasked with evacuating near by villages. Miche, was talked with the obvious titan issue and your stomach dropped to the soles of your feet. You didn’t doubt your husband’s capabilities, no. He was highly skilled, but your intuition was harder ever wrong…and something bad was bound to happen if you two split up right now. Your panicking, hands shaking in the handles of your swords, the situations options limited.

You fight the oncoming panic and move to the roof he was currently standing on. He turns to face you, the look nothing short of confused and slight anger.

“You need to go. Now.” He speaks, more of an order than anything excised god knows if he’s show you jsut how wallet your panicked state effected him, he’s follow you in a heartbeat.

“I won’t say everything will be okay-“

“When you come back everything will be okay.” You explain, voice shaking. It breaks his heart

You can feel your eyes burn, tough he was skilled, you felt as if there was no fighting the feeling of impending doom.

You press your lips to his, your faces melting together like two puzzle pieces. How facial hair is scratching your face but you would have it any other way.

His face is tinted afterwards, and his lips purse as if he wished to say something. It was easy to see what it was so you said it instead.

Love is such a funny and cruel thing in this life

[crisalidaseason]

here's my aot what if -

what if nobody died and everyone lived happily ever after😁😁

Pls I love this so much. That's me when my fav character dies.

What if nobody died?

This is a joke and completely delusional of me, but here are my AOT characters sweet and peaceful endings if death and depression weren't AOTs moto

Carla would be still alive, we would have more screen time from this absolute milf (Sorry, I am feral for her), being the best mom and Eren always by her side, taking care of her, when he is not traveling with Armin.

Mikasa is either with Carla or occasionally traveling with Armin and Eren. She's out of the military for certain and just chilling, probably became a painter or writer.

Armin, my sweet beloved Armin, just travels around the world (if the titans were taken care of) and becomes this super notorious writer and explorer. I genuinely think he would be a scientist and inventor, like his parents.

Jean probably follows the military career, even become commander when he was older. This man fights for people, and if Marco is by his side...we would see big changes in Paradis military system!

Sasha and Connie would probably remain two chaotic creatures that live in a farm. Sasha would also remain in the military, in my opinion. She likes teaching young people and helping her community. Connie just decided to live a quiet life with his family, probably in a farm close to Sasha's family estate.

Ymir and Historia are married and queens. That's it. They are icons and care for many orphans (even if Ymir is awkward with them).

Erwin, Levi and Hange are retired and on permanent vacation. Permanent vacation! Also, Levi's squad is alive and well. Levi is one of those old dudes who accidentally got adopted by children despite his very mean face.

Reiner has a family. He probably has a bunch of kids that he loves so much. He is the best father in the world because his own dad was trash. HE IS NO CONTACT WITH HIS MOM!!!

Bertholdt is honestly just living his best life, just sleeping in weird positions and resting. No I don't think he got with Annie. I can imagine him becoming a teacher.

Annie just disappeared and took Pieck with her. She is living in a cabin far away with zero human contact and a bunch of chickens and goats. That girl deserves peace. Pieck is there because it's quiet and she can nap all day.

Porco and Marcel are happy siblings, so are Colt and Falco. Falco and Gabi actually married, I don't make the rules.

Zeke is just...Zeke. I think he becomes a doctor and runs an abortion clinic. Not elaborating on that.

My man Onyankopon is a rich dude on a paradise island, just chilling and being the handsome man that he is. Probably is the one who brought Hange, Levi and Erwin to the island for their eternal vacation.

[nwpadaline]

I actually do like the headcannon that Armin is Erwin’s adopted son 🥹🥹 lmao at Armin’s grown age

[giggly-squiggily]

AKENFKELFKR I WAS GONNA ASK IF YOU HAD ANY LEVI HCS AND BOOM YOU BLESSED MY DAY ahhhhhh this really makes me realise how little there is levi tk content. In one of my favorites (i cant find the fic anymore😔) levi sees cadets rougly playing and tickling each other outside and erwin realises levi seems to study whats going on and when he finds out levi actually doesnt know what’s happening, he is in for a lesson. And now you fed my brain even more ideas and I LOVE that. The only four people who would get away with tickling levi (for different periods of time, erwin probably the longest because shhh yess husbands) hange and isabel and furlan😭😭 and don’t get either of us started on how levi handles affection in general because he really and I mean really had to get used to it with erwin.

AHHH YAY!!! I'm so glad I could bring you some fluffy HCs for the tiny old man! (Not gonna lie- I'm gonna need them the more I watch the final season *cries*) I think I know what fic you're talking about??? It might be on A03- if I find it I'll reblog with the link but AHH THAT ONE WAS SO CUTE???

Oh god now you've got me thinking about @/ticklishfanart's incredible Levi art and HCs where he's got tickly back-ribs and UGH. Erwin pokes him there whenever Levi's got the sour face (you know the one) and Hange's just reckless brave. Maybe one time they ordered Eren to poke him just to see what happens but he backed out the second Levi looked at him akjlrajkrajkjkaejr

Listen-LISTEN. Levi is so touched starved, god help him? He won't let you hug him for long because he knows he's gonna tear up and he just can't deal with that right now (He might let Erwin hold him after a long, long day though), and if you kiss this man on the cheek he's just;

Levi.exe has stopped working. Someone spill something, that'll snap him out of it lakjlrkjarkjaejkrajke

Thank you for sharing, friend! :D

[eli0004]

Hi. How do you think Attack on Titan characters sneeze? I think Levi sneezes like a kitten and it's so cute. It would be great to get your opinion in headcanon form! Thanks for the reply, sending hugs <3

Sure Anon! 🫶 This is honestly mostly comedic, and i had a lot of fun with it, sorry it’s so short, there’s only so much information i could come up with without accidentally being repetitive!

Summary: Brief headcannons about how the Aot Men Sneeze.

(Contains: Eren, Jean, Armin, Connie, Levi, Erwin)

Warnings: None

Lmk if i should do a part two with female/nb characters🫶🫶🫶

Eren Yeager sneezes aggressively. Like the kind of sneeze that is dramatically loud, and anyone standing near him just turns around like “🤨” He swears it’s involuntary tho, and that it just happens that way. Bro charges it up too, you can tell when it’s about to happen because he makes this goofy face and tilts his upper body back.

Jean Kirstein sneezes like he’s scared of people hearing. He keeps his mouth closed shut and he will bury his nose in his elbow so it’s almost inaudible. Everyone speculates that he only does this because he secretly sneezes like Eren.

Armin Arlert’s sneezes boyishly? If that makes sense. They aren’t squeaky, but they are higher in pitch, and they happen very quickly. Almost like it takes him by surprise. After, he just quickly wipes his lil nose and gets on with his day. His eyes water when he sneezes too so he’s always nervous that people will think he was crying.

Connie Springer sneezes rapid fire🤣. Once he starts, he just cannot stop them from coming. He’ll start trying to talk in between them and another one will cut him off and then he’s just laughing like an idiot, tears streaming down his face and everything.

Levi Ackerman does in fact have cute little kitten sneezes and it’s such a drastic difference from how you’d expect him to sneeze, just by looking at him. He also slightly lifts off his feet when he sneezes, like the sheer force of it is enough to catapult him from off the ground.

Erwin Smith sneezes stereotypically. Like he literally goes “Ha! Hah choo!” And then it’s over. He’ll follow it up with a little sniffle, then chuckle and say something corny like “goodness!” Afterwards he’ll just smile and continue whatever he was previously doing.

[the-traveling-poet]

I cant help but think Husband!Erwin would love showing off the ring on his finger.

You two could have been married for a month, or five years, it simply did not matter; he was always going to point out his relationship to you.

While still having to stay professional while performing his duties as Commander, he would absolutely throw in a couple comments and gestures here and there to the band of metal on his dominant hand. Wether it was relevant to the conversation he was having or not.

“Of course, I’ll see to this matter immediately. After consulting with my partner about this first.”

“Erwin, we just needed a signature for the supply run document. The Survey Corps HQ is low on equipment.”

And suddenly Erwin’s a hand talker??

Any comment he makes he has to reiterate the fact with hand gestures. Most definitely with his dominate hand that held his ring.

He may come across as goofy about the whole thing, but to you it was incredibly endearing how eager he was to show the world he was yours.

[ilex-opacus]

Erwin Smith is a cat person AND HERE’S WHY!!

jk i think him being a dog OR cat person is believable but I saw someone say him being a cat person after all would be a funny twist and then I realised how much sense it made.

Most people expect Erwin to be a dog person.You know – dogs are loyal, willing, can be easily trained to do X in promise of Y. They can be trained so well, in fact, that you don’t even need to give them a reward - their faith in you is that innate and complete that they will fetch or roll over or indeed lie down even if all you offer them afterwards is a cursory “well done, good job, smart boy.” And while Erwin admits that dogs would indeed, out of the choice between them and their feline counterparts, make better soldiers, it is foolish to think that what he values in his men is what he values in his personal companionships as well. And while dogs can be used for labour, they are - like cats - primarily for companionship. Erwin has always struggled to be close to his men precisely because they are so loyal, blindly and self-flaggelisingly so. They would do anything he asked, some of them, and these men make the best soldiers and the worst friends, because they fill him with a deep sense of guilt and remorse at having to demand such loyalty from them in the first place.

Cats, he finds, are much nicer creatures when friendship is the game. 

Cats are not like dogs. They are cold, aloof, unfriendly, and smart. They never trust you, merely tolerate you, and they are impossible to trick or fool. They switch their mood as easily as the wind turns, and even if you treat them nicely they are not guaranteed to even pass gas in your undeserving direction. To put it simply, befriending a cat is a challenge, a task, a mission that requires skill, understanding, and patience. Erwin has always been told to know his enemy, and the same is true with cats.

But cats present a worthwhile reward, if you can manage to commit yourself to the time-consuming, intellectual task of taming them. Where dogs are stupid and overbearing in their affection - which, albeit admittedly nice, can feel overwhelming and ill-deserved at times - cats are conservative with such pleasantries. And so, when they finally deign to butt the side of your leg with their furry little heads or mewl endearingly as they trot up to you, it feels like a real victory, it feels like something you unequivocally deserve. And if Erwin needs anything, it is the type of love he feels as if he actually deserves. Not love that is won from simply being the bigger and smarter life form, but love that is won through being good to those below you, from understanding their wants and needs and not needing to have them sit subservient beneath you and awaiting your orders.

Cats are quieter, too. Stiller things. Dogs are loud, always barking like they’ve had to suddenly scream out a battle plan, always moving and jumping in circles like they’re nervous or preparing to flee. But cats move with a slow grace, an unbothered laxness; a cat does not know, care, or act as if they are in a war. A cat is greater than that - supersedes such petty mortal happenings. A cat can’t sniff for bombs or point to alert you to a fallen soldier’s position on the field, because cats represent something greater than conflict. Cats were only ever partially domesticated, never brought fully into the human way of life. They are transient, they are beings of luxury and calmness and independence. Maybe, Erwin thinks, if the world were comprised more of cats - solitary, intelligent, wary - and less of dogs - obedient, unthinking, impulsive - there would be no need for wars to begin with. And yet that is not how things have turned out. The world is a catastrophic mix of cats and dogs, and we get on with each other just as well. In truth, though, the world is made up entirely of humans, and we are the cause of our own pain.

But Erwin likes cats. He likes the small, happy noises they make and the deep, constant, reassuring rumble of them purring contentedly against his chest. He likes how they can be relied upon to find their own food and water, how they do not look up to him as someone who should, and unfailingly will, provide. They are more his equal than some humans are, and he tries very hard (and subsequently fails) not to feel guilty about that. In the meantime, he scratches between their ears and watches those sly, sharp eyes glinting from amidst the small mass of black fur. It reminds him of someone, and he thinks that also plays quite a large part in why he likes them best.

[happybird16]

Thoughts on how the AOT cast would handle April fools?

I think Levi would absolutely refuse to participate. He's not even going in his morning workout, his only plans are to bunker down and tell everyone to fuck off. (Ends up getting kidnapped by his friends)

Erwin would participate in a goofy dad way, something silly and earnest but everyone else is visibly cringing at his lame jokes. "Even when I first met him, I always knew Levi was a knife guy. Knife!! Get it!" And he just smiles blindingly and waggles his giant eyebrows, nudging Levi with his elbow a bit too hard.

What are your guys thoughts?

[happyandticklish]

who wins tickle fights: erwin or levi?? :D

Round 1: Erwin vs Levi

Here's the deal and no, I will not be taking criticism. Levi wins every tickle fight they've ever had, every single time.

Now hear me out.

Of the two, Levi is definitely the more ticklish one, and is far more susceptible to it than Erwin is. Levi loses for the first half of the fight and will be a mess by the time they're nearing the end of it. But this man does not lose. It does not matter how tired he is, it does not matter how much of an advantage Erwin has over him, it does not matter how bad of a spot Erwin is currently targeting, once Levi decides he's done with the fight, he'll end it. Half the time Erwin lets him win (it's his dad personality), but on the rare occasion that he wants to turn out victorious he might push it, and every single time Levi goes into fucking Combat Mode and destroys his ass.

Erwin has won one (1) time and Levi refuses to talk about it (it was right after sex and he was still weak and euphoric and Erwin grabbed his lower inner thigh—man did not stand a chance)

I saw a post that really made me think about how much the aot fandom needs to differentiate that someone who manipulates out of survival is not the same as someone who does it out of pleasure. You cannot infer that someone is bad in every aspect because they manipulate/lie/deceive in survival conditions. It's a shallow view of the character because you take the context out.

Example: Armin, Erwin, Levi in some aspects, even Eren and Jean had moments where they needed to lie/manipulate to get themselves out of a bad situation. Just to elaborate: Armin lies quite often to save/protect his peers and Erwin pulled that whole lie in S3 to avoid being executed and the SC military branch discontinued.

None of those characters lie for pleasure, therefore we can't say they're bad/toxic people based only on their history of lying and deceiving.

They're not good people though, don't get me wrong, because they're all war criminals in different ways. It's just that lying is such a necessary tool for them that it feels unfair to analyze their morality based solely on that. When someone makes a character analysis/discussion and completely distorts the canon character to fit an opinion it just proves that some people did not understand what they read.

Classifying Armin or Eren as bad people, for example, solely because of their ability to lie and manipulate is, again, a shallow evaluation of their behavior. When you read their actions inside the context provided you see they do it out of necessity and there is a noticeable guilt/remorse feeling in return.

Again, you are entitled to your opinions, but accept that your opinions and the canon storyline might not align. If you're upset that people are disagreeing with your opinion by pointing out canon facts why did you even make a character analysis? Like, write a fanfiction or headcanon and it's completely fine. As soon as you try to project your opinion as canon people are going to be upset, that's the reality of fandom.

That's all!
