can we get some aruani wedding headcanons please 🙏👀

Hello!

But AruAni wedding headcanons 🥺

I like to think that Aruani's "real" wedding, i.e. the one that's not there just for a political display will be a very quiet one with just their closest friends: the Ambassadors + Levi & Co.

Well.... As quiet as it can be, anyway. Jean, Reiner, Connie and Gabi are ready to bring the house down.

It will be a open-air seaside wedding! Either a remote beach or a cliff overlooking the sea, complete with the wind whipping at their clothes and the sea stretching vast and wide, endless to the horizon. Big, beautiful clouds float in the sky, changing colours as the day draws on.

Whether sandy beach or rock-studded grassy cliffside, it means Annie's wedding dress will be short-with the hem somewhere around the calves or below knee-for ease of movement. She's quite happy with that, really. The easier it is to manspread, the better.

But the rest of the dress is a fucking pain in the ass. Stupid strapless bra, stupid underwires, stupid everything. If she could, she'd have gotten married in a hoodie and shorts.

She can't seem to get rid of Hitch and Pieck's fussing over her hair and clothes and pooh-poohs their hard work (secretly she's grateful because she couldn't have done shit on her own).

Meanwhile Armin is a panicky, teary, sobbing MESS.

He's also driving Jean nuts with his fidgeting - everything on his person has to be perfect for Annie! Perfect tie! Perfect suit! Perfect flower-in-pocket thingy! It gets so bad to the point that Mikasa has to tie him up with rope and make him sit still in a corner.

Hitch has also been drinking right from sunrise and shows no signs of stopping. After bothering Annie, she's taken to sitting at a table and admiring everyone that passes by, man or woman. Reiner is very scared of her.

Onyankopon is officiating and he's got the perfect vows ready and whatnot.

Levi doesn't want wine, he wants TEA, and he's satisfied when he's got it. He also watches everyone around him in their suits and dresses, and feels a tad sad that his kids are all so grown up now.

Not very sad when Gabi's cheekily threatening to wheel him into the sea or tip him off the cliff tho. RIP Papa Levi, your parenthood will never cease.

Close to the time of the wedding, Armin's nervous and jumpy in his room, head in his hands and telling himself to calm down. Nobody understands why he's so anxious. (The real reason is because he's minutes away from being called "Annie's Husband" and the poor boy's so happy he's having heart palpitations).

I think there has to be a secret medical team on standby.

Annie, on the other hand, is very quiet in her room, sitting before the mirror. On either side of her are Pieck and Hitch, also quiet after their endless teasing. Annie's dazed. This is really happening? A day has come when she's actually getting married? She didn't even think she'd live this long, but here's a big bouquet in her hand and the dress she's wearing is finely tailored. Pretty. Beautiful.

After a long silence staring at each other through the mirror, the three of them start crying.

But nevermind any of that. The only one doing the real heavy work here is Mikasa, alternating between Armin's room and Annie's, telling them both firmly "You can do this." like it's a mission.

At the flowery arch altar(?) thingy, Armin's ready to receive Annie and so anxious he's sweating bullets.

But when Annie makes her appearance, being walked by Connie (ye, he's the best), there are TWO men who burst into tears. None other than the bridegroom and also Reiner, because he's pathetic and emotional.

It's a bit annoying really.

Also Armin's maybe struggling to breathe. Somebody please check his pulse.

But can anyone really blame him tho? She's BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Outshining the glittering sea.

Not only him tho. The blush on Annie's face is powered by the fucking sun.

And can anyone blame her?! He's DASHING!! It should be criminal for a man to look that good.

(*whispers* she's gonna jump him later in the night before he's even unbuttoned his suit)

When Annie meets Armin at the altar, Mikasa's the one that's the most proud. She's got tears in her eyes. It's a beautiful wedding, and these two are so dreadfully, horribly, terribly in love. There's a small pang of sadness in her but overall, she's incredibly happy for her little brother.

When prompted for the "I do's", Annie's a bit breathless when she says it while Armin's honestly doing his best not to say it before Onyankopon's even asked him.

The kiss is suspiciously too innocent.

Pieck loudly snickers from the back that they shouldn't be anywhere near the newlyweds that night.

The post-wedding shenanigans are insane!!!!!

DANCING AND DRINKING EVERYWHERE!! Best man and Best Woman speeches, plenty of embarrassing flashback stories, plenty of laughter, plenty of everyone getting very pissed off at each other.

If it's by the beach, the boys carry Armin off and throw him into the sea.

The same with Annie tho Mikasa tells her to wear some granny panties in advance. Hitch isn't having any of it. The fuck do you mean granny panties?! Why?! Well, to protect against sand in the coochie ofc. Hitch still won't have it because ugly.

FUCK THE WEDDING SUITS AND DRESSES AND EVERYTHING! ITS TIME TO SPLASH AROUND IN THE WATER!!!!

Everyone is soggy and wet and very hot

The Ackermans too are no match for the waves. SOGGY AND WET AND HAPPY, I TELL YOU!!!!

... Ah, there is a wedding cake.

But Connie mixes up birthday and wedding etiquette and ends up slapping it on Aruani's faces.

Falco accidentally drinks alcohol again and passes out. Why is he always accidentally getting wine in his mouth? Smh.

To be as annoying as possible, everyone keeps Armin and Annie away from each other as best as they can. Not a moment together! CRIMINAL!

When they assemble to take a photo together, the photographer spends at least 20 minutes under the camera cloth ordering adjustments in their positions. It's frustrating. Reiner's boobs are blocking everything else, ugh. Fucking hell, Reiner.

(But when the photo finally comes out, days later, it's so beautiful. All of them, grinning bright and some caught mid-laugh, hair and clothes windblown, flowers in their hands, holding each other close, sunlit and golden and so very happy.)

Well into the night and finally alone at last, Annie finds, that instead of being relieved, she's even MORE annoyed.

Because Armin's being insufferable.

He's all "wife this" and "wife that" and "my beautiful pretty adorable wife" and she's so embarrassed she could just. die.

But no. No die. Only wedding night activities 🌚🌝.

Unsure if you’ve answered this before, but who among the ambassadors do you think is the biggest lightweight?

Who is everyone slightly worried about because they’re always hammered halfway through their second pint of beer?

Alternatively, who do you think can hold their liquor the best and is only tipsy even after multiple drinks?

Hello!

Yeah I think I've answered something similar but quite a while ago... tumblr's most likely swallowed it into the void xD

If we're talking about the Ambassadors Six... then the lightweight is Armin and the heavyweight is Pieck xD

Armin is... well, obvious; he begins with great gusto, reassuring everyone y'know, like "It's fine guys, it's fine, I'm not as bad as you all say I am... come on now, the big pint, yes!"

And then he proceeds to collapse halfway through the very first pint alone hahaha xD This boy cannOT handle much liquor, I'll tell you. Poor guy, but honest to god it's so fucking cute.

Pieck, on the other hand... you can't beat her. You'd think Reiner or Jean would be heavyweights but... no, it's Pieck ._. By Ymir, she can hold her liquor!! She always looks smashed, and that's how everyone lets their guards down but she's still the sharpest in the lot! If there's drinking games, she's winning even before they've started :3

But! If Levi & Onyankopon come into the picture.... Levi's the lightweight!! Man doesn't drink a single liquid except water and tea, what do you mean "does he have tolerance?"?? On the other hand, Onyankopon knows how to drink, giving Pieck a tough fight!

[moonspirit]

On the subject of Armin’s hair, he 100% has an outrageous bedhead.

Damn right!

It sticks out in every single direction, falling over his eyes, parted in weird angles, forehead exposed, pressed down flat in some places... it's wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

I may be slightly late to Assassination Tuesday ™, apologies.

Something I think about a lot is either Armin or Annie (or even Reiner or Pieck) being injured during an assassination attempt post-rumbling and just not being used to having to heal severe injuries without their powers.

For Armin maybe it might not be as extreme of an adjustment, since he only had his titan powers for four years (although that’s still a pretty significant chunk of his life as a nineteen year old).

For the other three though, I imagine it would be definitely be surreal to suffer a life-threatening injury and have to deal with it for weeks, months or even years in various stages of healing.

Hello xD I had to keep this until the next Assassination Tuesday, which is... today.

I think I remember some discussion a while ago about how the shifters would deal with injuries and such after losing their powers. It's very interesting to think about imo, in particular because the perception and methods of dealing with pain is bound to be very skewed for the shifters, especially Annie, Reiner and Pieck who've lived with the powers from an extremely young age.

I'm unable to find those old posts atm (T^T sorry) but what I talked about there was basically how the expectation that wounds and injuries will heal on their own would've become second-nature to these three. Whether a cut, a bruise, a gash, or a ripped-off limp, the kids would've just gone to sleep knowing the pain will not last long, and that when morning comes, they'll be as good as new again.

Pain never lasted long.

But now... what if it does?

I can't imagine it's anything less than a traumatic experience to spend day after day struggling to cope with the pain and the very, very slow recovery process. A leg is broken and it's been days... why has it been days? When will the swelling go down? When will this pain just stop?

In a way I think, for Annie and Pieck specifically, this would be a very unpleasant thing. Annie atleast would've grown to rely on the titan powers to keep annoying things like injuries and pains at bay - she prioritized efficiency and perfection after all. The powers, in that respect, were helpful for her.

I don't know if Reiner would welcome suffering. Yeah sure it's... not an ideal thing to go through, but maybe given his depression... well it's something to think about xD Something something punishing myself with debilitating pain~

Armin then, is better adjusted. He knows what pain feels like, and how it is to recover from it. His titan powers did come at a later stage than the other three, so it could be that it's not as unusual for him to sustain a wound and have to lie in bed for weeks after. Until the age of fifteen, he was nothing but human after all.

The thing I adore about your fics in particular is that even though Aruani is the main relationship and the focus of the story, you also explore their relationships with other characters and keep them relevant and involved.

It’s one of my favourite things about your works; I love seeing Annie + Pieck girlhood and the boys goofing off with each other. Your character interactions and dialogue always feel so natural and I go crazy for it every time.

Helloooo, aaaaahhhh thank you so much for the lovely words T//////T

The alliance bond is very precious to me, it's one of my personal joys to explore the friendship that developed between the end of the battle and the scene on the ship 3 years later - what could these 6 people have gone through during that interval that made them such thick friends? It's extremely exciting for me to watch them bicker and banter and grow closer.

And ofc the Pikuani relationship, the Paradisian boys, and Reiner finding his reason for living... These are all so important to me. Aruani are ofc, the crux of the story, going through their issues via their relationship is just. So comforting.

Thank you so much once again for sharing your thoughts, I'm so grateful T//////T VBEOW brings me a lot of happiness, and to know it gives you the same is absolutely wonderful, I'm very thankful for it.

T////T

@rorynni this is it, this is canon T_______T

Aruani baby wearing.

Getting work done, baby wearing.

In a meeting and no baby sitter, baby wearing.

Need to get house work done, baby wearing.

Trip to the bakery, baby wearing.

This reads like a meme poem, I love it xD

Armin's the one doing the most baby wearing because! Proud papa, he feels useful! Because when Annie was pregnant, of course he enjoyed feeling the kicks and listening to her tummy but... sometimes... just sooooometimes... he felt sad :< (ffs boy). If you ask him, he'll give you reasons!!! Annie was pregnant but he felt left out! Listening to her speak to the baby, touch her baby, feel her baby... he felt super lonely!!! and useless!

(in the background Connie's laughing his head off: "You were jealous?! Of your own kid???!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA")

So after the birth, he's absolutely the one doing the baby wearing! Important Ambassador in Important Pressed Suit with a baby sling (role model figure). Attending meetings with politicians with a baby sling (baby's unimpressed by all of them). Doing errands with baby sling (baby cries if he leaves the bakery so he's stuck there for 11 hours). At home, walking about, with baby sling ("Hehe Annie, now I"M the one carrying our baby-")

10/10 Happy Papamin.
