🔫 this is a robbery, hand over your post war Levihan headcanons (please 😊)

The world needs to know

Post war levihan gives me life ok, they're both alive and happy and together and no one spoils that for me. It's canon. Isayama who?

Congratulations, the robbery was a success and here's the loot

So after the Rumbling and the Battle of Heaven and the Earth, these two retire. First they recover in the hospital, Hange’s burn injuries and Levi’s leg and they take a break to just breathe and relax. 

Once they’re on their feet (and wheelchair) Hange drags Levi to travel as many places as they can go.

Queen Historia funds their visits (Hange somehow convinced her to allocate a budget for them cuz she wanted to see everything. And as they were heroes of the war and her parents former superiors, she agreed) and they travel a lot.  

But it’s not just going places and having fun, They plan on helping out in the rebuilding of the areas affected by the Rumbling too. They go around aiding in reconstruction and Hange helps the mechanics and engineers and learns things from them too. 

Levi distributes clothes, food, and lollipops to kids who love him. Hange later teases him for looking too long at the lollipop, “You remembered that clown right?”

“No, I was thinking about how you chased after cars in Marley with carrots in your hand.” And she gets all embarrassed, crying out how she was just so excited that she couldn’t stop.  

And he says fondly, “There’s no need to get defensive four-eyes, I was happy to see you so excited after months back then.” And she blushes because wtf?! When was Levi so romantic? But then again, he was. When she was about to sacrifice herself and he’d given her his heart. 

They don’t talk about this, nor her proposal in the forest. They don’t need to, not yet. They’ve both reached a stage of familiarity and comfort with each other throughout the years which doesn’t need any words. They both just know and they’re fine with it (levihan telepathy at its peak) 

They stay with the brats whenever they stop by in Paradis—or at the palace and help out with Historia’s orphanage. Eventually they decide to buy a house since they won’t be traveling forever. It’s a nice little cabin in the woods, just like Hange had dreamt of. 

It turns into a kind of summer house, or a place to stay in whenever they stop at Paradis and rest. They have it renovated, repainted and furnished and it becomes their own cozy little place. 

Levihan eventually settle down in their cabin for good once traveling constantly becomes too hectic. They’re used to sharing a bed by now, they did it all the time in their travels, and it comes with the much needed comfort of having someone familiar close by after waking up from nightmares. 

But that night feels different, they’ve finally settled down and this cabin is no longer a temporary lodging for their stays in Paradis, it’s on its way to become their house, their home. A safe place to relax and live in. Just like what Hange yearned for in the forest when she proposed they live here together

So Levi turns to her and sees her awake as well, staring at him. They both know that now words are needed to solidify this thing between them. But neither of them know how to proceed

Hange goes first, cuz Levi may be the strongest, he’s still not the bravest when it comes to certain things. So Hange talks, shapes out their feelings into words and sentences and each sits warmly upon them both like an extra blanket in the chilly night. And when she’s done, Levi just pulls her close and there’s too many words, feelings stuck in his throat, his mind but all he can say is “Yes. Me too.” And he just kisses her, and they hold each other all through the night. 

They look after each other’s injuries, he takes care of her burns, she helps him with exercises for his leg. Both of them are a bit conscious about their injuries. There are times when Hange looks at her scarred, burnt body and she feels broken, weak and just falls into despair. She asks Levi how he can stand looking at her, how can he put up with her, does he want to? She’s not enough. 

But he takes her face in his hands and tells her she’s more than enough. And he places her hand on his own knee, the injured one and looks into her eye. It’s one of those levihan telepathy moments where he tells her with his eyes we’re both broken, you’re there for me and I’m here for you, so we’re each other’s crutches. 

Once again, they’re like two halves of a whole. Even after the war, with their flawed bodies and capabilities, they fit in together perfectly. She’s there as his support when he needs to walk and he’s there as the soothing balm to her burning scars. They don’t need anyone else. 

Things have changed, and now it’s Hange who helps Levi take a bath. She’s careful with him and Levi would tell her to wash his hair again and again, he likes how her fingers feel in his head. But the roles haven’t completely switched, he’d still drag her for a bath as well since she always neglects it. 

Levi is the cuddler.

While they both naturally wake up at the crack of dawn due to years of army training drilled into them, there are days they hold back and relax. But on those days Hange's usually the one who wants to jump out of bed first, there's just so much to do, how can she waste her day in bed? But it's levi who pulls her back and buries his face in her shoulder and cages her in his warm sleepy embrace and says, "Stay still four-eyes, those seedlings aren't going anywhere." And he just. Cuddles.

Hange goes wild in the garden, she plants all that she can get her hands on and Levi goes around ordering her to arrange it all neatly. And his help is needed, otherwise their garden would’ve been a terrible mess. He makes sure there are neat sectors to all the things, vegetables at one side and fruits at the other. 

“I’m telling you shorty, tomatoes are fruits! We’re not planting them on the veg side.” 

Levi’s got a side of the garden all for himself where he grows tea and he cherishes his little tea garden. Whenever Hange comes across any exotic or new species of tea, she makes sure to get plenty of seeds for Levi to plant. 

She goes about experimenting with plants and seeds, she does grafting and makes hybrid seeds and plants them to observe the results. They have plenty of land around the cabin and she’s got all the time in the world now. She also tries to make hybrid species of flowers. 

She works together with Levi and does the same things with tea. They end up opening a tea shop and Levi tells her it was once his dream as a kid. It gets a lot of customers, and it keeps Levi and Hange busy. Hange continues to experiment with tea and they get the most unique blends that way. Eventually they add a few other things to the menu but their tea remains the most famous one in Paradis.   

The 104th often visit their home or the shop. Armin’s often at their place, asking Hange for commander advice and they talk politics for long hours. 

Mikasa prefers the tea shop more, it’s a cozy, comfortable place, not too quiet, and not too loud. It suits her mood and the aroma of tea calms her down. Levi would often find her asleep in one of the cushy armchairs and just throw a blanket over her if it’s cold. She doesn’t like to go back home since it’s mostly empty and quiet (and she misses Eren, we don’t blame her) so Levihan often invite her over to their place. By now they’ve practically made the second guest room as Mikasa’s bedroom. She often spends the nights there and when she can’t sleep she comes out and sits on the porch. 

Levihan also have sleepless nights, so when their daughter she’s staying over they all gather outside or in the living room and have hot tea and talk to forget their worries. It’s a good way to keep unwanted memories away for all of them. The morning finds them all asleep on the carpet, Levi and Hange leaning into each other, Mikasa with often her head on Hange’s lap. 

Jean and Connie visit a lot as well, and whenever the 104th all come together, Hange makes sure they all stay the night no matter how much Levi grumbles about them being too noisy. She brushes off his complaints, he was always an old man hiding away from fun and excitement. 

They have drinking games on the porch and Hange and Levi get a lot of dares to kiss each other. They kids were always betting on them to get together, and now that they officially are, they wanna see all the proof they can get. Plus it’s good to see their tough captain all red faced and embarrassed. 

Whenever their Marley friends visit, Levi and Hange go meet them. Gabi and Falco get along surprisingly well with Levi, they steal him away from Hange for the day and zoom around the city with his wheelchair. He pretends to complain. Pretends. 

Pieck, Onyankopon and Hange get along the best together. They always fill her in about the situation of the world, the aftermath of the war. It starts out with just people collecting the pieces after the rumbling and focusing on rebuilding everything. But over the years as the states get stronger Hange and Levi get news about more conflicts, more schemes, no war in sight but the usual political disagreements and disunity. It saddens her how quickly humans revert back to their divided state, fighting once more over land or money or people. 

Pieck tells them they don’t have anything to worry about. They’ve retired, all they gotta do is enjoy the rest of their lives.  

Hange wants to write about their dead comrades, document everything about their lives within the walls and outside them, their training and the survey corps. She wants their memories to remain and Levi agrees on that. So they begin, it turns into a book with a few volumes. Hange writes down all she and Levi can remember and fills the pages with their friends��� laughter, tears and blood. The war and Paradis’ side of the story behind the genocide. 

It gets published and it’s a hit. People around the world would eventually read it (but by that time Levi and Hange would probably be dead) and it’s one of the crucial things that changes the views of the masses about the ‘Island Devils”

They talk about having children, Hange asks Levi if he wants any. The idea is nice, having a little brat of their own. But it turns out they’re too tired to manage a baby and the crying and wailing that comes with it and the attention it would demand. Besides they already do have children, the brats from the 104th. 

Perhaps if they were younger and had lived different lives, they would’ve been more serious about it. But not here. Now they’ve survived through hell and want to be selfish with the rest of their lives. And they are. 

💚💜

Hange jailed for asking too many questions is canon for me lol

Also, "Levi Ackerman would never kiss a lady like that" why did I imagine Kuchel watching him with that pleased I-raised-him-right look?? 😭

Have a Levihan!Mummy AU dump that was totally not just an excuse to draw Levi in suspenders wut 😗

[dont-f-with-moogles]

when you get this, list 5 sounds that the world around us makes that u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool, but no pressure!) ♥️♥️

Thanks @sunflowersunite 🌻@starshower1215 💫 @quillsandblades 🗡️

Imma be honest, I just love silence.

[quillsandblades]

how do you think a Levihan marriage proposal would happen? (who would do it, would they have planned to propose or would it be something of the moment?)

Thank you for the ask sunny! I had so much fun with this one 💜💚

I love thinking up scenarios about the levihan proposal! While there are too many I have in mind, there’s only two headcanons that I’d consider rational (Cuz the others are something like my fic Experiments and Feelings or yours Mrs Ackerman (is after your sanity), or that I basically consider them married from somewhere around the time Wall Maria fell). 

The first one would be if Hange survived the war (which she did, no one says otherwise): 

 So technically, Hanjo confessed or sort-of proposed first here when they were both in the forest. Levi doesn’t give her a proper answer because Eren’s going berserk with the Rumbling and they gotta get a hold of their brat (as responsible parents it’s their duty) and she understands cuz she gets Levi and he gets her and she knows she’s being rash

They reach the port, prepare the plane and things are starting to look up so he answers her proposal with a yes—but this is Levi Ackerman we’re talking about and he’s clumsy when it comes to romance. So he goes about it the childish way and hides it in taunts about her love for titans. This time it’s Hange who changes the subject, not as a rejection but a reminder that they’re not out of the woods yet

The Rumbling approaches and Hange decides to buy time but of course she’s smart and uses that head of hers to whip up a safe way to get them time rather than getting herself burnt (as she would have in canon if Isayama wasn’t hell bent on killing her) 

So she comes back on the plane without injuries or burns, she’s totally fine and the relief Levi feels in seeing her is so overwhelming he has to lie down to stop his head spinning. And he realises he needs her to stay alive even through their final charge and when she meets his eye he knows she’s thinking the same. 

War ends, peace prevails. Levihan retire and travel the world cuz Hange can’t sit still. They don’t talk about the forest or the port, they don’t know how to. Not now when everything’s much calmer, they’re not used to this kind of thing. 

But there’s an unspoken commitment between them, they’re ‘together’. Eventually they build a cabin in the forest but just living there is a monotonous routine neither of them are used to. So they still travel around but when they need a break they use their cabin, stay there for weeks or months. 

They visit the town and the market whenever they're staying, and people get to know them and they ask if they’re living together then are they married? They often try to explain that yes they live together but they’re not married. Are they lovers? They don’t know how to answer that cuz they never defined their relationship, she’s Hange, he’s Levi, isn’t that enough? Their vague answers leave several elderly people confused and giving them weird glances and having people whisper and mutter. But they don’t care, they’ve been through hell and what people say doesn’t matter anymore 

It’s Levi who addresses the thing, he suggests they get married. He’s not one for words so I never thought he’d give long speeches to propose. Levi had given marriage thought and it felt like a nice concept, Hange was never one for labels, so she never thought much on it, just happy with what they had

But then he asks her, quietly, almost timidly and there’s a slightest blush on his cheeks and he’s fidgeting and Hange just finds it adorable. But she wants to tease him a bit so she says sure but why and then he only mutters, “It’ll shut up the townspeople. And newlyweds get discounts in the market.” And she just laughs, “Sure Levi, I’ll marry you so we can get the discounts.” 

He tugs her ponytail and grumbles that she knows it’s not the only reason. Hange pesters him until he huffs out a quiet “It’s ‘cause I love you, you moron.” He doesn’t say that too often (emotionally constipated midget) but he repeats it now, looking right into her eyes and asking her to marry him. And she’s laughing and pink in the face when she says yes

The second one being around the time when Hange was commander:

Only when they come back from Shiganshina does the implications of what Levi had done hit him fully. Hange is now standing under the weight of the Survey Corps and the future of Eldia. It changes her, and Levi doesn’t like it, not one bit. 

She doesn’t smile like she used to, her laughter is curt, forced and not the carefree cackle he used to hear, the one that made him think she had wings and was soaring. In my mind, they already love each other, they know and have confessed long ago. They had to make the most of what they had and time for companionship was a luxury with death hanging over so close. So they’d thought, why the fuck not? We die today or in ten years at least our hearts will be in peace. 

But this, this is different. Hange isn’t dead, but she reeks of it. And that terrifies him. So he does what he can, he holds her when she’s cracking and stands beside her when she’s struggling to meet the gaze of the world. He knows the old Hange won’t be back now. 

And he realises how much he truly loves her, how much he needs her in his life. Even when she’s like this. He doesn’t care whether she’s shouting his ears off about titans or talking diplomacy with heavy eyes, she’s Hange and that’s all he wants from her. 

And Levi’s not the only one feeling like that. Hange thinks about them a lot, thinks how she’s there for him and he’s there for her. And she knows that matters. She notices weddings in the towns, sees couples tie the knot for life and she feels like it’s not a bad idea. Sharing the highs and lows of life with someone. 

But she’s commander and the world needs her and it’d be selfish. So she drops it (but she can’t and the urge keeps rising, and it makes her think why? She and Levi are already committed to each other, what will a simple stamp of marriage change? She doesn’t get it, but she knows she wants it.) 

Levi’s the one to propose (once again). It’s not fancy, there aren’t a lot of words, there aren’t even flowers or a ring. Only parchment, paper and ink stained fingers, a cup of tea and sunlight in her office. 

And the words, “Oi shitty-glasses, let’s get married.”

She laughs at first, devoid of humour, then she tells him they can’t. It’ll be selfish, Paradis needs her. He just raises a brow and says, “We’re practically already married and seeing as the situation of Paradis hasn’t gone to shit any more than it already had, I don’t see how sealing our relation with some vows and rings will change things.”

She agrees, they get married in a span of twenty minutes in their uniforms and are called in for a meeting afterwards. Levi was right, nothing has changed really.

But he wears this soft almost-smile for the whole day and Hange is laughing for the first time in months. Levi even goes slack in training the soldiers and the 104th are all betting on what could’ve happened to the captain. Jean suggests that maybe he found some new cleaning technology in all the stuff Hizuru’s engineers brought in. Sasha thinks he found a stash of exotic tea leaves. It’s Armin who wins in the end, and everyone’s left shocked—not because they can’t believe Hange-san and the captain are together, but because they thought they were already married long ago.

Weeks later when Hange plans to infiltrate Marley and she’s done talking to the 104th, Levi pulls her aside and says with all the deadpan, “You’re seriously planning our honeymoon in a country that wants to kill us on sight? Couldn't it be someplace peaceful like the goddamn beach?” And she just grins back at him like, “What’s the fun in that?” 

 So yeah they got duties, and their country needs them and everything. But they’re married in it doesn’t really make things worse, in fact Hange smiles a bit easy and Levi feels a bit better and that’s all that matters. 

(This was longgg but I hope you enjoyed it! )

I am very sorry but I just realised that Hange's birthday is coming up and I HAD to know...

How would she spend it? Does she value her birthday or is it just another exciting day for her? And what does Levi do for her birthday? Does he gift her anything?

I know it's very late and it's already been days since Hange's birthday but I just got time to post this T_T

Thanks for this @sunflowersunite!! 🥰

Here's my little levihan headcanon for how Hange's birthday would've gone in the Scouts

So levi notices in his early years in the scouts that how Hange always remembers his birthday, and Erwin's and all her close friends and comrades and she takes out time to wish each of them and even gets gifts if she can. But when it comes to her birthday, he never sees anyone doing anything other than wishing her.

It confuses him at first how four-eyes goes around making his and Erwin's, mike's and Nana's and even her squad's days special. A small gift here, an invitation of drinks there, it's simple but she does it.

So why the fuck does no one ever do anything for her?

He asks Erwin, who doesn't give a convincing answer, then her squad who simply tells him she doesn't like to celebrate it.

And that just confuses him even more cuz Hange is anything but not festive. Turns out her squad never got a direct answer from her. She was knee deep in research when they barged in and wished her and suggested they go visit the town or something

And she just waved a hand dismissively and said, "Yes very nice, now move along I'm busy." And they never went anywhere that day, and after that her squad assumed she didn't prefer to celebrate so they would just wish her and that was it.

The thing is she doesn't always remember her special day, it slips her mind - there's a lot to do already and somehow it's just too much of a hassle, there's better stuff to do than celebrating. Or sometimes she even forgets about it.

That is until levi comes along.

September approaches and four-eyes wouldn't stop whining about wanting to eat something sweet, and at first Levi can't stand it. But then it turns out to be the perfect thing to gift her.

He makes chocolates himself for her and informs her squad and his that they're celebrating whether she likes it or not. Since she never gave him a choice at his birthday either, this is payback (or so he tells them).

The night before her birthday he knocks her out and makes sure she's bathed and clean. And in the morning he strides into her lab with his trademark brooding face and slaps the box of chocolates on her face (yes I'm aware he originally makes it for her on valentine's day, but this seems like a nice idea too).

And he states in a bored voice, "Happy birthday dumbass."

And then their squads burst in and wish her and hug her and there's also Erwin and Mike and Nanaba and they've got little gifts for her like books or herbs or some lab equipment

And Erwin orders her that they'd be heading over for drinks in the evening so she better get everything done before then

They go as promised and Hange can't stop smiling and grinning the whole time. And she looks knowingly at Levi and thanks him for doing all this. And he pretends the blush on his cheeks is from the beer.

They don't have such grand celebrations every year, there's no time to catch a break or things aren't going so well since it's the survey corps and things go to shit most of the time, but Levi always gives her something or the other on her birthdays. Erwin does too most of the time.

From Levi, it could be a bunch of weird flowers she'd wanted to study, or some strange trinket he thought she could pull apart and do something with, or sometimes even a book. The best gift he gave her was a couple of titans for her research and she'd screamed in delight for fifteen minutes straight.

She named them Chikatilo and Albert of course

[quillsandblades]

This happened

Morning ☀️

they mixed up their T-shirts... or did they?

(does the writing refer to the shirt or the person? tell me, o oracle)

(the oracle is me and the answer is the person)

[quillsandblades]

in "deal with the devil" I shall headcanon the devil with Floch's face from here on, and that Hange will fight him to break the contract and free Levi as well so that they can have their happy ever after.

Meanwhile Levi is like "that's my girl"

Tbh being a devil does suit Floch (he was the devil of Paradis after all lol) and he's gonna be ruthless about it. But on the other hand that would just give me a chance to have him killed even more horribly than in canon 😋

But unfortunately our devil here is Levi 😔 (or is he??) and Floch's not gonna show up for a while.

And of course Levi will always be proud of Hange, that's never gonna change

[quillsandblades]

@sunflowersunite and I are back with a new chapter packed with domestic fluff, a sickfic, a chase with the police, an unfortunate cabbage vendor and a jewellery thief (?)

Anyway, happy reading everyone!! 😁

Bare feet made their way across the hallway, gaining speed as she moved from room to room only to find each one empty. And suddenly she was twelve again and the doors felt too big, the rooms too vast, and the air too thin within the house. Only her and a dying person.

[quillsandblades]

Chapter 11 of the vampire au by @sunflowersunite and I is here!

“Ilse was a smart woman. She’s left a code I’ve been struggling with for months! She said it herself in the passage you decoded, she’s leaving her findings about the vampires behind, for us to find. The key to her code is somewhere there, I’m sure of it. In her house, or…” “Or?” “Or her workplace. Berg Newspapers.”

The mystery continues with a moment of relaxation for them all. Featuring a frustrating journalist, a suprise party, some new characters and a break in.

Happy reading!! 😊

[quillsandblades]

HOLY SHIT I'M SCREAMING!!!

Hange's gonna get teased about this to no end for weeks by Nana and Mike. And Kuchel.

LVHN sketch

Sorry for the lack of update, I’ve been busy 😭

[quillsandblades]

Chapter 9 of the vampire au by me and @sunflowersunite is out!! This is a wild one I promise

Featuring, some explosions, a car chase, a vampire attack, some kids finally meeting their parents, and the only right way a levihan date should go 🔥

Right, he wouldn’t want her dead. Never. Least of all by his own hands.

Happy reading!! 😁

[quillsandblades]

Ohh GREAT. I hope that a ton of questions aren't much of a bother but I must know

🤡 (But I'm changing it up a bit) How many wips do you have? Abandoned or not

⚠️ Which wip are you most likely to post/update next? (Ours doesn't count, it's me asking, don't cheat)

🖍️ Sentence please!!

♻️ A scrapped idea for your current wip??

🤔 A story you'd love to write but haven't started yet?

🍄 Describe your wip like this ___+___=___ ("Hange + Levi = OTP" accepted as answer 😂😂)

(🖍️ Another sentence please?)

Thank you!!

Lastly: ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for asking Sunny 🥰🥰 I had SO MUCH fun with this!!

The Wip ask game

🤡 Eleven wips in all, out of which three are abandoned.

The ones I'm actively working on include Lucky, Deal with the Devil (but it's getting a bit hard to write), Levi's Adventures in Wonderland, a special fic that I'm working on and really wanna post soon, a fic where levihan are kids and it's kinda based on my personal experience lol, a multichap fic I started long ago and intend to continue once some of the wips are posted, a prompt that i received and it'll be a little levihan one shot or drabble, and a fic where one of Hange's experiments go wrong in the most hilarious way

The ones I've (probably) abandoned are,

Restless Spirits - I'm out of willpower to write this even though i had the whole plotline written out and it was kinda good. But i can't continue it for some time at least.

Then an unnamed fic that's from a different fandom than snk. I wanna write this, i just can't get around to doing it. It'll be a long time before i do manage to finish it so it might as well be dead.

And then there was a little idea i had of a fic where Levi and Hange make each other tea under different circumstances that I later gave up on

⚠️ Can't say, depends on my mood, inspiration and stuff to write on. But if I do it would be either Lucky, or Deal with the Devil, or Levi's Adventures in Wonderland or that special fic I'm writing

🖍️ It's from one of the four mentioned above, you'll have to guess 🙃

'Then we rebel against it,' Hange went on. 'And that's how we do it. Death can fuck off, you and I stick together. Promise?'

♻️ Not a scrapped idea for a wip at the moment, but there was a whole idea of a fic that I scrapped recently where the vets and the 104th go to explore a haunted carnival for fun and it turns out to be actually haunted. They all die gruesomely. Idk what got into me but not writing this one lol

🤔 There's an eremika fic idea sitting in my head for a long time now. It's nothing special but I'd love to write on it when i get some time!

🍄 Hange + Levi = OTP is a must lol, that's the standard. But other than this, here's one:

Hange's experiments + Levi = Chaos and Erwin's inner satisfaction

🖍️ Not from the experiment fic, but you can probably guess what it is:

'Your cheeseburgers, Your Majesty,' the weasel wrung his hands, wiping his dripping brow with a handkerchief. 'They're gone! Stolen!'

And lastly thanks for all the kudos 😁 I had a great time answering this one!

[quillsandblades]

Update on the vampire au by me and @sunflowersunite !!

This chapter is the best thing so far for us

He nearly jumped in his seat. Every hair on his body stood up as she approached and his nose twitched—why the hell did her blood smell so damn good? And all he could think of, all he wanted to do, was to pin her back against the wall and sink his fangs into that goddamn filthy neck of hers and drink.

[starshower1215]

I actually cackled like a witch reading this.

Post-war Levihan Idea [No. 2]

There was a spark for an idea a while ago, where after the Battle of Heaven and Earth, Levi is often seen going about Marley alone in his wheelchair with just a small camera in hand. People tend to be scared off by him because of his rough exterior, his scars, and the fact that he is constantly talking to himself and reacting strangely, as though he sees something no one else does.

From Levi's perspective, he keeps hearing the voices of his comrades as he wanders the streets. He keeps seeing phantoms of them, but every time he turns around, they seem to vanish. Like Eurydice when Orpheus looks over his shoulder, they're pulled back down into the underworld. He has to shake himself out of it and remind himself, "They're gone. No one's left."

After a while, though, Levi found himself waiting a moment before he would turn around. He indulges in these hallucinations he has, from trauma or sleep deprivation, he is not sure, but he is grateful, in the way one might be grateful for their guilty pleasure.

And really, this is his mind's way of surviving. After the war, Levi is doing all he can to go on living with a heart that's already dead. He dedicated it to his comrades, after all, but where were they now? So his mind, in order to keep him alive and moving, makes up these voices and shadows to keep him company. "Levi, did you know that there are rivers crashing over cliffs in Hizuru? They say it's a beautiful sight; I think they call them waterfalls. Please, please, can we go see them? Levi, look at this gadget I found! It's so handy. Do you remember what it's for? No? Well, go ask Onyankopon! I bet he'll explain it to you! Levi, Levi! Time to get up, come on, come on! There's so much out there to see, I can't wait! Come on, the sun is shining, get out of bed and come with me already, clean freak!" On and on and on.

So Levi travels and he learns and he keeps on living. He does his best. He carries the camera around with him, talking to the voices, scaring people off. He photographs his friends' phantoms everywhere. The waterfall, the store, the balcony at his bedroom. He never looks at the photos, though; he knows what he'll see if he does— or rather, who he won't.

[quillsandblades]

The next chapter of our vampire au is out! @sunflowersunite and I had SO much fun writing this, hope y'all enjoy!

Synopsis:

Vampires are a thing of folk tales and old stories, stuff rumors are spun out of. Hange Zoe, a person of science and reason, doesn’t believe in myths. Confident that the odd series of murders in the back alleys have a cause more human than supernatural, she takes the case upon herself, only to find all her ideals shattered when she saves Levi Ackerman one night. As Paradis Island is dragged into a war that can change the fate of Eldians and the whole world, Hange finds herself surrounded by conspiracies and mysteries beyond imagination and struggles to unveil the truth behind it all. --- Mikasa Ackerman has her own demons to haunt her, and only two friends left by her side as she runs from her very nature.

top five aot favourite characters?

It's actually really hard for me to hate any character in aot. They all have their own stories and pain and they're all beautifully human.

Except for Floch and King Fritz, they both can rot in hell and I won't bat an eye.

As for my faves, here are the top five characters I really like

1. Hange Zoe

2. Levi Ackerman

3. Erwin Smith

4. Mikasa Ackerman

5. Annie Leonhart

(aka the characters that inspire me to write)
