WHO IN YOUR OTP: looks over the menu for fifteen minutes before ordering the same thing they order EVERYWHERE they go? does the other half of your ship get annoyed by this, or do they find it endearing?

I was originally gonna say Levi. But actually I see Levi as the one who makes sure to try a new thing on the menu. I'm picturing this happening when he and Mikasa are traveling. He does research on specialties from different places and asks locals. Levi actively tries new things. Considering this in the AOT world, Levi's time in the underground followed by his time in the military, it would be hard to come by and then it was only in rations. And when they did have big celebratory nights like "Night of the Battle to Retake the Wall," he'd really be thankful for what he got. Remembering his childhood and the time he spent with an empty stomach. In conclusion, post war he'd definitely appreciate be able to enjoy food.

Mikasa seems like the type to just view food as necessary nourishment. I think Levi would laugh in endearment when she chooses the same thing. But he always offers his food to her for her to experience different things, and they end up just sharing. enjoying both. sharing food becomes a part of their love language. I also think Levi wanting to offer the more adventurous foods to Mikasa would parallel the way he has helped Mikasa change from her very static way from childhood.

My friend also brought up this point: "he could be trying things as a way of living on for his deceased comrades? Because they didn't get to try these things, and if he were to live a gloomy life, he'd be doing them a dishonour."

To which I respond: I dont know why but I'm picturing Sasha in my mind. Levi talking about 'living for his deceased comrades' and then Mikasa thinking of Sasha and how happy she gets eating.

and my friend replied: "AND THEN SHE EATS BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SASHA WOULD WITHOUT HESITATION"

Anyone else wanna join in. agree or disagree? the fun thing is any answer is valid. cause we can go in any direction. (maybe Levi would be the type to eat the same thing because he values order. and it's a stable routine. maybe it's both 🤷🏻‍♀ cause realistically people cant be one or the other.)

I'm literally begging for a spinoff. It'd be such a good idea, the most popular characters, who have had the ackerman mystery foundation fully laid down. And I'm sure everyone would really enjoy this premise. Yes please I'd love this so much for Mikasa and Levi.

A cool ass spinoff that touches their individual feelings after the war. Learning how to build and move forward after the war. And DEVELOP MIKASA AS A CHARACTER. And I'm down for platonic rivamika, building a solid friendship (if you wanna throw in slight sexual/romantic tension im not complaining)

This is purely my marvel infested brain but like when I was watching tfatws I was thinking about something like this. Still humanity's strongest soldiers on a mission for whatever the fuck cause the world is in disarray, "I'm still gonna act like I hate you but underneath that layer I care for you deeply", the falcon and the winter soldier concept. (Anyone down to write that fic? Might have to do it someday in the distant future.)

I love 'cottage core, happily married rivamika with a ton of ackerbabies' as much as the next person, but we kind of need some variety. Man I'm getting happy just thinking of this.

So, like, wouldn't it be awesome if there were a spin off/one-shot manga (ala No Regrets) but its our girl Mikasa and Levi-The-Bastard-Who-Never-Dies having the long-awaited Ackertalk? I'm saying this purely from a fan's perspective and not necessarily as a shipper. Like, these two badass characters who made it through until the end, both reeling from loss and trauma...and then, oh hey, we should really talk. And it just gives enough closure that we're all happy and selfishly get to see more of these two badasses.

Putting ships aside and just speaking as a Mikasa stan, I would love to see Mikasa explore more of her independence as a woman/character/boss queen outside of a male figure. Not pining over someone and just discovering herself and her own reasons for being.

Hey, Isayama-san, I know you just wrapped, like, ten years of blood, sweat, and tears, but that would be cool. Y'know, as a treat.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Mikasa: Honey bun?

Levi: Yes?

Mikasa, blushing: I meant, would you like one?

Levi: Oh. Yeah, sure. Sugar?

Mikasa: Yes?

Levi, also blushing: I was just asking if you wanted sugar in your tea.

Mikasa: Oh! Yeah. Sure.

Both: *completely flustered*

Gabi, from a distance: Even I’m getting embarrassed from watching them.

Falco: I think I know what you mean.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Levi: I fucking hate Eren.

Mikasa: watch your language, there are children in the house.

Levi: my bad.

Levi: I fucking hate—

Levi: *covers Kuchel’s ears*

Levi: —Eren

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

How to talk to short people:

(ah I see)

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Jean: When you and Levi have ten kids can you name one after me?

Mikasa: No. Also I would have seven at most.

Levi: You would have HOW MANY???

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Levi, stroking Mikasa’s head: You’re so adorable.

Mikasa, half asleep: I could kick your ass right now.

Levi, looking at her with love in his eyes: I know.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Levi, tying a scarf around Mikasa’s face: There, now you won’t catch a cold.

Mikasa, muffled: I can’t breathe.

Levi: You’ll be fine. You know how cold it gets this time of year.

Mikasa:

Levi:

Mikasa: I can’t kiss you like this.

Levi, frantically untying the scarf: This is far too impractical.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Mikasa, unbuttoning shirt: Wow! It's so hot in here.

Levi: I know that, but why are you unbuttoning my shirt?

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Levi: Mikasa kissed me.

Erwin: *gasp* No!

Hange: *squeals* Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!

Erwin: Okay okay, we wanna hear everything. Hange, get the wine. Levi, does this end well or do we need tissues?

Levi: Oh it ends verrry well.

Hange: *rushing over with wine glasses* Don’t start without me! Don’t start without me!

Erwin: Alright, let’s hear about this kiss. Was it like a soft brush against your lips, or was it like a, y'know, “I gotta have you now” kinda thing?

Levi: Well, at first it was kinda of intense, y'know and then… oh god, and then we just sorta sunk into it…

Hange & Erwin: *squealing* Awwwwwww!

(Scene changes to Mikasa, Sasha, and Annie lounging around casually eating pizza)

Mikasa: And uh, and then I kissed him.

Annie: Tongue?

Mikasa: Yeah.

Sasha: Cool.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Armin: So, how goes married life?

Mikasa: Levi got drunk and tried to set our marriage certificate on fire.

Mikasa: He said “Good luck trying to return me without the receipt!”

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Mikasa: Fuck Levi!

Annie: Yes, fuck Levi, I think you’d both like that.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Levi: *pouring wine into two wine glasses* Do you know why I called you into my room?

Mikasa: Because I accidentally sent you nudes.

Levi: *stops pouring wine*

Levi: …Accidentally?

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

*Falco and Gabi see Levi's sullen look*

Falco: Uh oh.

Levi: What?

Gabi: Somebody's in love.

Levi: Yeah, right. I'm just a little concerned for Mikasa. It's not like I lay awake at night thinking about her.

Levi, later that night: Uh oh.

[alwaysrunningoutoftime]

Mikasa: *carrying a stack of supplies with both hands*

Levi: *reaches out to help her*

Mikasa: *moves the supplies to one arm to hold Levi’s hand*

Levi: That's not what I- okay.

Part 1 of Shirbert & Rivamika Parallels

Okay so @gilly-bj said in a post: "the only Gilbert I could think about was Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables and I noticed that RM has parallels also with Gilbert x Anne so... nothing just wanted to share my discovery with you ;)"

Do we all have the same ships 😂 swear to god we’re cut from the same cloth. Imma just say it, RivaMika shippers are fucking intellectuals, big brains. I noticed a lot of my ships parallel each other, so here's me paralleling them.

Shirbert is the OTP of all OTPs everyone. My God was I obsessed with this ship since I was young watching 1980s Anne of Green Gables. And again in 2018 for Anne with an E. And when Season 3 came out, that was a blast simultaneously theorizing and clowning (exp. the pen). If you haven't watched Anne with an E, I highly you do so, it has so much heart to it. Shirbert is one of my few ships that is actually canon, and I was literally a mess when I witnessed the moment they got together: my family paused the TV cause I was jumping for joy, turning red, laughing and crying. Shirbert is the motherfucking blueprint of

Rivals to Lovers, Slow Burn Romance

here are a few parallels from the top of my head:

Starting off on the wrong foot (Source: RM)

(mayhaps in one of her imaginings Mikasa was doing this to Levi)

The Hostility (Source: AG, RM)

(edit: changed AWAE gif cause this one fits much better. Anne's words are quite laughable cause it is the complete opposite of how things panned out for Anne or Mikasa. How I love irony and using hate as a front for enemies to lovers.)

The Staring, The Pining (Source: RM, x)

(Super sad there's a 10 image limit :(((. I didn't fully realize how much RivaMika stared at each other. And that would take up so much space lmao. So here's:

PART 2

So do you agree? And were there parallels I forgot? Feel free to add them. Let me know what you think. (I spent far more time then I care to admit on this so I hope you enjoyed it.)
