#hmm i wonder if dad!rockstar!eren would pull some pranks

[ficsforeren]

Yo yo yo, I was just thinking but I feel like one of eren's love languages is just being a little shit™️ and annoying the crao out of you. I feel like he'd be really playful and this extends to his close friends when he's comfortable and in a good mood. I imagine him playing pranks on Jean and reiner (and his really trusted staff like Berthold), then Levi just stands there and sighs deeply like a disappointed mother but its all cool cause he loves them anyways—he'll just never say that out loud.

in the beginning of the last song, he was pretty depressed so he rarely talked to them, so playing pranks was definitely out of question. but ever since he got together with yn I think he became a lot more friendly. he wouldn't do any pranks (and would hate to be pranked), but he'd appreciate a good joke every now and then. his reaction is different depends on who says it tho, for example:

if it was marco who made the joke, even if it wasn't funny, eren would be like, landing a hand on his shoulder and sending him that brotherly smile that looks like he's saying, "it's okay, buddy. you did well."

if it was jean who made the joke—now okay hear me out. i think jean is actually pretty funny but he always makes things weird by making everything sexual (one time reiner invited him to an orphanage to do charity and they were playing toys with the kids and jean picked up a submarine toy and he went "dude dude what's long and hard and full of seamen?"). jean and eren also had this love-hate relationship, right? so whenever jean made a joke that was actually funny, eren would snort and leave the room but reiner would catch him trying to hold back his giggles

reiner is funny only when he tries not to be funny because he always throws out dad jokes every time and they're really embarrassing 😭he'd be like roleplaying as a dad and a son saying " i don't trust those trees, son." / "oh no, why, dad?" / "idk they seem shady." and people would just cringe hard. but in my head, there was this one time when he made eren laugh—like actually laughed cause he was in such a good mood that day—and reiner cried happy tears for a good half an hour in the bathroom

if it was levi who joked around—aight who am i kidding, levi doesn't joke. he makes a lot of witty comebacks involving poop tho.
