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.)
