headcanons: snk characters at a metal concert

(+ unsollicited biased opinions on them)

Mikasa: glares at anyone who touches eren, which means everyone in this context. subsequently, everyone has a crush on her (she doesn't notice, bless her)

Armin: *indistinct yelling* you might think he's terrified, but actually he's singing along. repressed goth/secret metalhead Armin my beloved don't even @ me

Eren: tried to start a wall of death before the band even got on stage. will get thrown out by security during the first song, because of course he will

Erwin: accidently ends up crowdsurfing, yells "ONWARDS!" and ends up near the stage in record time. the singer lets him up and goes "damn can you join our band?" but joke's on them, they're his band now and he's the new leader

Hange: pogoes enthusiastically without having a clue what's going on, falls at least 3 times bc they're going counter clockwise in the circling pit, somehow doesn't die

Levi: keeps getting dragged out of the pit by tank-like well-meaning fans who think he's a lost child, when really, he's the reason behind Hange not dying in there (also dw, he snatched their glasses ten seconds in, they're safe)

Bertholdt: boy's got a pink wig on and has been instructed to stay still as he's the designated meeting point for everyone else in the crowd (curse of being tall, i don't make the rules hon)

Reiner: remember that tank like fan from before? that's his kind, picking up confused/hurt/anxious-looking people out of the too violent crowd movement... that he started himself

Annie: told everyone she was staying at home. is actually right against the front barriers, enjoying the show without having to socialize. antisocial queen

Sacha: missed most of the concert because she was eating on the sidelines + frantically trying to get a hold of Connie who was supposed to get here hours ago

Connie: missed all of the concert because he got the date wrong, is currently having the best nap of his life. a bummer, but good for you buddy get that rest

Jean: got in a fight with Eren during the first chorus because one shoved the other.... in a mosh pit, during a metal concert. (they're getting thrown out together. idiots.)

I just recently finished Attack on Titan and I've never interacted with the fandom until now to avoid spoilers. Nothing makes me happier and validated than seeing how the vet trio consistently dominates the popularity polls. Even though the story is supposed to center on the younger generation.

I love them. I love them so much.

Veteran trio cast

[erwinsarmrest]

idk how to make tik tok edits but i must speak my truth

the “one for the money, two for the show” trend with the vets trio. people keep getting it wrong. the correct order is:

elvis- hange

taylor- erwin

lana- levi

i am correct argue with the wall

[seamsterspell]

as a Levihan shipper (like me ), what do you think of eruri and its popularity in the west? and also why do you think levihan is better than eruri? ( yes i know i am bias .. i am so Levihan trash)

Hello hello!

Uh oh, I feel we are trotting into a dangerous zone here xD /j But okay, here goes nothing >:D

Just to be safe, I'm going to abbreviate Erwin & Levi as EL.

Well, first of all, I like almost every dynamic between characters in SNK. IMO Isayama did a great job of building connections in his story. So, I don't really have NOTP(s) in SNK. Even if I don't ship A, B, C, or D romantically, I can still appreciate the bonds between those characters.

Regarding EL, if you've read one of my fics, you would know that I like the veterans, especially the veteran trio (Erwin-Levi-Hange). I really enjoy the relationship between Erwin-Levi, Levi-Hange, and Erwin-Hange. To me, they are close comrades who have deep trust in each other.

At first, I was not so sure what to make up in the relationship between EL though. I found Erwin to be quite intense back then, so I didn't know how to read the dynamic between him and Levi. As a trainee, Erwin seems to be much more outspoken and passionate. But as an adult, Erwin becomes more reserved. Therefore, I used to think that this man must have been hiding something. Then, I finally understood it all when I read about Erwin's backstory (and apparently he was hiding his trauma and guilt, who would've thought!).

Anyway, in short, I like EL! I feel like their personalities complete each others and they have their fair share of both meaningful as well as comedic moments. What makes them interesting to me is that they are the kind of people that you would never thought would be friends, but well apparently they are. Some might argue that Erwin was only using Levi to reach his goal. But I disagree, even in a world where there are no titans around, I still believe they would become great friends who can rely on each other. So yeah, I can see the appeal of EL.

Hence, I can understand why they are so popular, both in Japan and the west (and internationally tbh). However, their popularity had never bothered me since I already knew that M/M ships tend to be much more popular in almost every fandom in existence. I mean I've shipped Levihan (and Aruani) since 2013 and oh boy we were like a small cheerleading club back then xD

To be quite honest, I don't think Levihan is better than EL. I mean sure, in my book they are the best HAHA but I tried to never really put any relationships in a hierarchy. To me, shipping characters are more about preferences anyway. Like, we tend to ship a pair with dynamics or tropes that we love.

I ship Levihan (and not other Levi's ships) because they embody many tropes & dynamics that I like, such as opposites attract (this feels like their trademark tbh). However, their main appeal to me is the way that their relationship feels so mature and healthy but also FUN. Despite their stark differences, they are able to trust and look after each other, not only in combat but also outside. You can see them fighting together in one chapter and then see them teasing each other in the next chapter.

I also like the fact that they don't always bound together. I like crumbs (and full meal) as much as next guy, but I actually appreciate that they have their own characters moments as well as relationships with other people. It highlights their personalities which make their dynamics—when they are together—much more interesting.

Not only that, before chapter 126, their relationship and moments were actually pretty subtle (the one where you kinda have to squint to see or blink-and-you-miss-it kinda thing). Which I LIKE SO VERY MUCH! I actually prefer subtle romantic-ish moments between characters over blatant romantic moments. I like ships with potential, ships that will give me enough (not too much and not too little) materials to daydream every day HAHA. I mean, out of all the ships that I like, Levihan is the ship that I have the most fanfic ideas. They are my go-to ship every time I need to distract myself lmao.

I feel like I want to say more but man, idk, I just like them I guess. I can't put my love for them into words T_T But to sum up my feelings about them: I WISH THEY WERE MY PARENTS

That's all anon! Thank you for the ask! I hope my answer makes sense to you xD

Who's your second favorite man from AOT? I would say Jean, but Erwin is very close to that title.

You are correct!!! Erwin was my second fav man :'). As you can see by now my absolute faves from snk are the veteran trio : Levi, Hanji and Erwin 💕

cw: brief mention of (titan) blood

word count: 1.2k

characters: veteran trio x gn!reader

❀ levi ackerman

you were busy checking your straps and gear when you heard the rapid sound of horses approaching. you did not bother to look at the incoming people, your brain too busy trying to comprehend the fact that you are on the front lines. most importantly, you are a recruit, a FRESH GRADUATE and the commander positioned you on the front lines.

you were nudged on the sides by a fellow graduate, making you turn to her with an exasparated expression, the anxiety clinging to your bones. she then pointed to the front with her lips, "hey, that's captain levi right?" she wanted to confirm to you.

you glanced at the front and sure enough, you saw the ebony haired midget busy checking his blades. "yeah? what am i supposed to do? clap and give him a grand entrance party?" you replied in harsh, hushed voice. your comrade rolled her eyes and fixed her boot.

you were calling to every god that might be out there when you encountered an abnormal who was keen on getting to you. it seemed like your prayers was answered when you spot a forest within your line of sight. you sped through the clearing and when you steadied yourself on a high branch, you let out a sigh of relief.

you anticipated the abnormal's incoming attack so when it passed by you, you seized the opportunity to slice its nape, making it fall to the ground. you let go of your worries and settled on the branch, taking a moment to catch your breath.

oh if you only knew how wrong of a move that was.

a quiet, abnormal titan was hiding behind the thick tree all this time, and upon seeing you relax, it took the opportunity to hold you in its enormous hands. you felt all air escape your lungs as its fingers digged into your ribs.

and when you thought you'll never taste your mother's meal again and instead become a titan meal, the familiar stench of titan blood and the foreign feeling of falling to the ground. before you could think, your body already reacted as you maneuvered yourself to the trunk of the tree.

on the head of the titan stood a small figure, drenched in blood and looking at you with a gaze you couldn't decipher. before flying off somewhere, captain levi turned to you one more time.

"don't let your guard down idiot. wouldn't want a recruit dying right now"

you guess you do owe him a clap and grand welcome party

❀ erwin smith

the air was stiff and a wave of unease was flying around in the crowd. a person began to turn, walking away from the packed crowd. another followed, then another, and another, until the people who remained can be counted on two hands.

your knees buckled, contemplating your choices. you ranked 4th goddamn it, so why are you going to the scout regiment when you have the option to live safely in the military police brigade.

when you thought about switching in the last minute, you looked up from the ground, just on time to see bright, blue eyes star back at your own eyes. the gaze was firm, but not condescending. the commander's eyes remained on you, and it seemed as if it was asking a question.

"will you turn back to live a life peace? or will you stay and fight for survival?"

at that seemingly loud question, you stood rooted in place and faced ahead with a firm expression plastered on your face, failing to see the small smile on the commander's lips.

let bygones be bygones. your knees no longer buckled amd all sweat that adorned your forehead earlier was no more. there was nothing to lose.

well, your life actually.

but nothing seemed to matter at that moment. because those blue eyes that stared at yours was similar to that of the sky, limitless and endless. going beyond the walls was crazy enough. but it would be crazier if you turned back and denied yourself the opportunity to see more of that sky.

"you are brave souls who dare to wander the world beyond these walls. strong minds whose curiosity can only be quenched by the truth. and honorable people who fight for humanity and its future. i welcome you all to the scout regiment. devote your hearts!"

you finally understood that this is commander erwin smith of the scout regiment. he wields power and uncontrollable desire for truth and freedom.

he understood you as well, in your brief moment of hesitance. you seemed like another body, another life he would willingly give up and add to the mountained pile of former members who ceased to be. as if atop all those countless bodies, was the truth he desires to see.

and as you saluted, your eyes faltered to the determined look on the commander's face. you let out a sigh, of relief or worries, you did not know. but one thing is certain.

you would not regret your decision in joining the regiment.

❀ hange zoë

you stood by on the sides, making sure that the titans were bound tightly and securely to the makeshift chains. you couldn't risk these two abnormals to be set free and wander in wall rose. you sighed to yourself, thinking about possible reasons why the scout regiment would take in these titans, just adding to the workload of the garrison.

though you really had no right to complain because you were just loitering around and guarding the walls while the other was risking their life beyond the walls to search for the truth and freedom. as for the other regiment, they can burn in hell already because all they know is how to kiss the monarchy's ass.

hearing the commotion outside, you surmised that the four-eyed section commander must be here to visit her "babies", whom she named sawney and beane. she was still at the prime of her youth but she seemed to have a few screws lose up there.

she began to approach the titan beside you, putting little to no distance between her and the titan's face. you stepped in and pushed her chest back a bit.

"hey, don't get too close, we don't have tools to restrain its mouth" you scolded and motioned to her assistant, who quickly came to aid and pulled her back. but yours and his strength was not enough to keep the brown haired girl from cradling the titan's face.

oh my god when will your shift end.

and when you sensed movements from behind the titan, you sped through and pushed the woman away before the titan's teeth even had the chance to graze her.

she laughed in delight and hooked an arm around your shoulders, pulling you in close as his assistant tried to pry her off of you.

she is insane.

"hey, that was a close one! i would've lost my head if it weren't for you! thanks a lot, soldier" she said and went back to cradling her titans, checking their pain tolerance and resistance.

you stared at her and antics, surely, she was of sound mind. she's just really amazed by titans and their abilities and qualities, which pushes her to know everything about her.

she is insane. you love your job here in the garrison and you hoped you'll never cross path again with that woman.

but there was something inside you that that tugged as you walked away.

do you really want to stay in the garrison? or does the scouts have something more to offer?

this was funnier in my head

PS: Erwin is the only one you should take advice from

[lilliyoona]

Help a brother out. I need slice of life fanfics or fan comics featuring Erwin, Hange, Levi, Nile, and Miche. Not in the mood for romance or smut (yet). God I wish there were more OVAs featuring these guys. I want to know more about their training corp days and their friendship. Hello?? Mr Perfect Stoic Erwin mothering fucking Smith used to get drunk with the guys at the bar?? And they're not going to elaborate on that?!

I've read all the smart passes, listened to the Drama CDs that have translations, pilfered through the non canon parody of Junior High only reading the parts with THEM in it for some CRUMBS, AND ITS NOT ENOUGH 🔫
