#snk positivity week

[le-panda-chocovore]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "le-panda-chocovore "?

Oh I think I can actually answer that without rambling too much !! (<- took an entire week to answer the ask and select the fics, and I commented on each one of them lol) It won't be a Top in order of preference tho, there's no actual classment, it's just the ones I loved the most.

The Way I Behaved - EraserMic (MHA)

This fanfic gave me the inspiration to write my greatest work (still unfinished to this day) and literally changed so many things about me. It also made me discover a whole genre of music that I've never listened to before and with which I am entirely in love now. Prepare to cry tho, because this is deeply heartbreaking. It's a Villain Mic AU where Aizawa was never a teacher. And it is good.

What if Percy did become a God - Percy Jackson and the Olympians (based on the books !!! do not read if you just watched the show !!!)

The title says everything. This is not a happy story, you will cry, I promise. It's short, like a 1k word OS, it's really poetic, it's deep, it's beautiful, and also, it's painful. Humans were never meant to be gods, not even Percy. It's written like a poem, I read it so many times and it hurt me every time.

Demon and Angel Professors - Ineffable Spouses (Good Omens)

Not a fanfiction but a serie of short works about Crowley and Aziraphale and the people around them. A teachers AU very nice to read with many Original Characters (the students) who are all captivating and appreciable. The story is extremely queer-positive and neurodivergent inclusive and physical handicap representative, honestly, you want to read it. There's everything inside it. If you have chronic pain or if you're a closeted queer or even a curious ally who wants to understand their peers, this is what you need. The love is so pure it's overwhelming.

Honor and Vengeance on the High Sea - Zuko (ATLA)

Tbh this deserves to be published, it's a novel itself (I haven't finished it yet). The author reappropriated the Avatar universe to write something completely new. It's an AU where Zuko becomes a Pirate after his banishment and fights against the Fire Nation Navy, and eventually joins the Avatar's team. There's a whole work around internalized homophobia, the discovery of the self, acceptance, injustice, family trauma and everything. Original Characters are cool too. Chapters are long and very, very complete, you can see the author has historical and cultural knowledge.

Strength, the meaning of - Asano Gakuhou (Assassination Classroom)

I can't believe a fanfic about this total asshole made it to my top 10, but it is beautifully written. The progressive mental breakdown of a man who used to stand proud above everyone, the slow fall down to hell without even realizing it. There's also his son's POV here, which is equally beautifully written. I really hate the man and I don't like the fact that the end of AssClass completely disregard the consequences of what happened on the character's mental state, and reading how even him wasn't okay at all is very pleasant to read. That's karma my bitch.

Je suis assis - BokuAka (Haikyuu)

Yeah it's in french and on wattpad. It has been a while since I read it but I still remember the principal. It's a OS anyway so it's not very long (we didn't do that 20k words OS on Wattpad, this madness is only popular on AO3 lol). Since I'm sensitive to everything that is around handicap, it touched me. It ended up being cute and warm. Honestly I was more thinking of another BokuAka fanfiction but I couldn't remember the name nor found it online so I put this one.

25 - Riren (SnK)

Yeah yeah I know, pedo ship etc, but I was 14 and this is a High School AU where they're both 16 so, it's okay I guess. Yes the name of the fanfic is twenty-five. It's in french, it's on wattpad, and there's Eren's POV too. I don't know how I'm supposed to describe it... I think you have to read it, it's not actually strange or weird but, it's a whole experience.

Here there be dragons - Centennial Husbands (the Sandman)

This is the exact definition of love. What is love to me ? This fanfiction. Engagement, devotion, caring, this is it, this fanfic has the meaning of all these words. I had a hard time reading it because I hate ultra-long OS (I need CHAPTERS, give me a BREAK) but it was soooo enjoyable, and I was crying the whole time 'cause it's so pure and beautiful.

Palm to Palm - KaRen (Assassination Classroom)

Yes I am a part of the extremely tiny fandom that ships Karma and Ren (I do ship Karma with multiple people throughout the manga lmao) but only in THIS specific context. And this is beautifully written, I can't stop re-reading it. Also, the name of the ship makes me laugh. Karma and Ren relationship after losing Gakushuu -the boy they both love above everything else- is peak romance.

Le goût du chocolat - L x Light (Death Note)

I honestly don't remember a thing about this fanfiction except a single sentence, but I do know that I totally fell in love with it. It was one of my fave fanfic when I was full active on Wattpad, and I even archived it because I didn't want to lose it. I should read it again now that I found it again.

Alright that's 10 !!! Finally !!

Oh it was so fun to fall back into all the things I read before ! But it was harder than I expected because, well, I only have AO3 for 3 years and I've been on Wattpad for 7 years, but I started reading fanfiction even before that, I just didn't have any account back then. So, I kinda forgot about some of the things I read more than 4 years ago, and I couldn't find the gems I discovered when I was 12. Most of the books that made out to this list are my recent lectures, it's a bit biased I guess.

Anyway, thank you for the ask ! It was fun to analyze all my bookmarks and everything !

[this-is-krikkit]

When you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then, send to your last ten people in your notifs (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity. <3

thank you anon! took a while to reply because happy hasn't exactly been the modd lately, but now that things are looking up, here it is!!

1. my gf and our cats. i love them all sm, i still can't believe i have them in my life it's?????? wild. i'm not worthy honestly, but still glad i have them 🥺🥰

2. the squad denial groupchat (poke babes @dont-f-with-moogles @youre-ackermine @wanderlustqueen-writes), as well as most of my mutuals on here. snk is the fandom i've made the strongest connections into recently, and although idk if they'll last, it's got a really nice feeling of community rn 😁

3. rl friends who've been reaching out to me bc of my shitty work situation. it's nice to not feel so alone anymore, and to recognize my bosses' gaslighting for what it is instead of believing their bs.

4. the 2 weeks off i'm enjoying right now!!!!! i keep having work-related nightmares and waking up expecting i mixed up my schedule and forgot i'm supposed to be on call.... but that's Vacation Stage 1 for me, i'll get over it. i mean, i hope... 😬😬

5. I GOT MY WIPS BACK!!! i'm not done celebrating that, and the fact that i incidentally got my inspiration back as well! it's the best news of this shitty year and i'm so so happy 🥳😋

[momtaku]

Do you know if there'll ever be another Snk Positivity Week? I feel like now that the manga's over, this would be a great time to have at least one more, especially with all the intense division going on at the moment.

Not that I've heard, but I haven't exactly reached out to anyone about it either. Looking at the list of people who've cohosted those events in the past, I don't think many of them are still on tumblr or else they've moved on to other fandoms.

I'm not opposed to the idea but I know for a fact I don't have it in me to organize and run another event. But if anyone else feels especially motivated, I'd be happy to lend whatever support or insight I can, including access to the tumblr blog.

Thanks for the ask!

Happy Birthday to the loveliest captain in the world

Essential Hanji Zoe Appreciation

Hanji Zoe has had such a hard time since she’s the new commander.

She derserves so much better. So much love. So much recognition. Because she is awesome. Period. And a great mom to so many of the 104th.

And she has brought so much to the series in terms of inventions and strategic decisions.

She has always fought for justice and truth: these are some of the characters she convinced that this world was worth fighting for.

We need to see that smile more often.

This is a personal list of top 10 most wholesome moments in the series (bc it is personal expect it to be a little ship biased ;D)

1. The squad reaching the ocean 

2. Levi’s word of advice (Incidentally the quote that I live by)

3. Levi’s rare smile + Historia performing the dare

4. Eren reassuring Mikasa and activating the Coordinate

5. Zeke hearing what he always wanted to hear from Grisha

6. The adorable hair ruffling 

7. Levi remembering the first time he met Eren + standing up for him

8. Eren + the rest of Levi squad 2.0 blushing

9. Eren passing on Levi’s advice ( and Levi listening to that 🥺)

10. The last hug before Sasha’s death

[theflowertitan]

If there’s one Character that I really came to love and treasure, it’s Porco Galliard.

Chapter 119 was heartbreaking but it’s one of my all time favorite chapters because of Porco’s development as a character at the end.

He’s a real hero and a soft soul at the end and he will always be one of the best characters in this show.

Snk Character Positivity: Armin Arlert

So now that it's Snk Positivity Week again, I thought I'd share some thoughts on Armin that I'd been wanting to share for a while, but never got around to because I'm not outstanding when it comes to writing, but here goes nothing.

My friend who introduced me to Attack On Titan loved Armin. He was her favorite character and it didn't take long for him to become one of my favorites as well when I first started watching the anime. He had a lot of consistent self-doubt in the beginning that caused other fans to be annoyed and dislike him, which I understood, but I wasn't ready to judge him just yet. I'm the kind of person who likes to give others a fair chance before making assumptions that might not be true. In fact, in my experience with stories, characters that start out weak tend to get some of the most development over the course of the story and it's really fun to see, so I was excited to see how things would go with Armin. Unfortunately, characters who aren't big and badass from the start like Levi also receive premature judgement sometimes. Not that I'm surprised, though. People love characters that are attractive, strong, and feared by their enemies. Take Daryl from The Walking Dead, for example. Everyone loves a good fighter, and I certainly do too. But it's only fair that I leave room for other characters as well. With all that being said, let me explain why I have a particularly soft spot for Armin Arlert...

Armin is not a kickass fighter with super strength. He's not physically strong like many of his peers. He's even a little short for a boy his age. Armin is the kind of boy who doesn't get enough representation in fiction or the real world. In our society full of gender roles, some common expectations of men are that they be tall, muscular men who are fearless and never cry. Armin is unique by not meeting all of this criteria. It's what makes him feel more real. More human. Armin is short, petite, has a soft face, and just overall takes on a more feminine appearance. He is sensitive, kind, humble, polite, and most of all, he is highly intelligent. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and for Armin, his biggest strength is his mind. Thanks to that, he has been able to save his friends several times over. You know who else I'm reminded of who contains many of these qualities as well? Hermione Granger. In the Harry Potter series, just like Armin relies on brains over braun, so does Hermione. She too is not your typical heroine who has the perfect looks and can kick anybody's ass whenever she wants. Both characters are brave, caring, compassionate, and their ability to out-think their opponents have been consistent keys to safety and victory for their loved ones throughout their respective stories. I will always appreciate the diversity that they bring to fictional characters in a hero's tale. So Armin, thank you for being a representation for what a real man should be. Humble, caring, and open-minded. And thank you to whoever read this. I feel like I could have said more, but I don't want this post to be late and I'm not a pro at writing meta, so hopefully I managed to get my point across. Happy SNK Positivity Week!

Bonus: My favorite illustration of Armin. 👇❤

Ship Positivity: Jeanmarco

Okay so, words cannot describe how much this ship means to me. It is my absolute OTP if I ever had one. I’m just in love their dynamic. Marco balances out Jean’s hot hotheadedness, holding him back when he needs to, building him up when he’s down. Marco isn’t afraid to call Jean out on his shit and sometimes tells him to just chill. I love broody characters with amazing friends, it’s totally my jam. 

What I think is even more amazing though is the greatness to come out of the jeanmarco fandom. There have been so many amazing fan works of these two idiots in love, and I’m just so grateful to be a part of this fandom. I’m talking novel length fics and absolutely beautiful illustrations. And for the most part, everyone in the fandom is amazing and there’s just so much love to go around. I could watch these two fall in love for the rest of my life, and honestly, that’s the dream. 

[captain-redchar]

[soapy0-0]

Happy Snk Positivity week!! :D You were one of the first fanfic writers I started having an interest in once I joined the snk and ereri fandom and I’m happy to say that a year later I’m still very excited every time you post something new! You are an amazing writer ❤❤

Well there you go making me cry again...

Thank you so much. I've been feeling so inadequate with my writing and myself lately, so you have no idea how much I needed to hear that.

You seem like such a sweet person, I'm happy to (somewhat) know you 💜💜

Also, you're a fantastic writer too! A gift, honestly 😘

[momtaku]

Heeeeey Mom :) You'll never EVER guess who this in a million billion years, but I just wanna let you know.. Not only have you been an amazing role model and part of this fandom, you've also been an incredible friend to me personally, and our shared friends as well. I appreciate you SO much more than I could ever say in a silly anon ask. I love your theories, even the ones we don't agree on, and I love talking to you so so much. I hope I get to be your friend for much longer :) #snkpositivityweek

You’re right that I can’t guess who... because I suck at guessing games but THANK YOU for this lovely message and hopefully I’ve let you know recently in return how much I cherish you as well.  I’m glad we’re friends, whoever you are, because you seem like the exact sort of person I’d adore. Thanks again for these kind words! I hope your day is amazing and I also hope we stay friends for this series and beyond 💖

[super-peace-fangirl]

For #snkpositivityweek I want to share two of my top favorite panels in the series which in my opinion scream heroism and kindness of my favorite character who's none other than

Levi Ackerman himself.

One might think an act of bravery and heroism always has to occur when the character arrives at a depsperate situation and saves everybody with their badassery and I don't know, killing the enemy with their swords and such. However, in my opinion the fact that here Levi's putting so much efforts on saving homeless, parentless children who never got the taste of any sense of kindness from other people in the past and creating a place wherein they can all settle in together and receive the love they deserve is something grand and in fact true heroism.

What makes me love this beautiful action even more is Levi's genuine reaction to the result of his actions

which is completely out of love, happiness and relief bc these children don't have to experience the unfair childhood he himself had to suffer from as a kid. We really deserve this gentleman back safe and happy :') ❤

I just wanna appreciate Isayama for this detail ❤

#HappySnkPositivityWeek everyone! 😊😘
