Hi Can We Please Talk About How God Damn Fine Reiner Would Look In The Full Season 4 ODM Dear

Spring has finally arrived💛

Hi idk if you've answered smth similar before but who do you think among 104th was closest or maybe most impacted by levi ? I would go for jean or armin but would love to hear your thoughts.

Ps : I love you and your analysis posts keep doing them ❤never give clowns the time of day

Hi there!

I have answered similar questions to this, haha. Jean is the character that comes to mind first when I think of who Levi had the biggest impact on. I actually fairly recently wrote a post about the relationship between Levi and Jean, and specifically, Levi's influence on Jean, which you can read here:

I think Levi had a significant impact on pretty much everyone, though. Armin, for sure. I think Armin actually understands Levi better than any of the other members of the 104th, because I think each of them are actually really similar, particularly in regards to the way both of them values life and sees life as innately valuable, without needing any, great purpose to make it so. There's also the fact that, out of everyone, Armin understood early on the kind of selfishness inherent in clinging to a sense of moral righteousness at the expense of others. This idea of maintaining our "moral purity" by refusing to get our hands dirty, and how, ultimately, that can cause more harm than good. Armin suffers from deep insecurity and a sense of self-loathing, so he refuses to call himself a good person, but I think he, as well as Levi, are both objectively good people, and part of that goodness is manifest in the way neither of them prioritizes their ability to call themselves good people over actually helping people, i.e. actually being good people. Even if it means having to live with blood on their hands and the pain of that, the way that can eat away at their sense of self-identity, they're both willing to do it without hesitation so long as it means no one else has to.

I also think Levi has a huge impact on Mikasa. Mikasa started out being pretty single minded and self-interested. Her entire reason for joining the SC was because she wanted to be with Eren, and her desire for that was the main motivator behind a lot of her actions early on. But as the story progresses, Mikasa gradually learns to start letting that motivation go, and starts genuinely caring about and fighting for others, until by the end, she gives up on her dream of being with Eren completely, by taking his life for the sake of humanity. I think Mikasa learned a lot of her selflessness from Levi, who's entire character is largely defined by selflessness. Levi never does anything for himself. Everything he does has always been for the benefit of others, fighting to save lives, to prove his fellow comrades sacrifices weren't in vain, fighting for the dreams of others, lending his strength to those dreams, rather than having or fighting for any dream of his own. That's been true of Levi since "No Regrets". I think Levi letting Erwin go sort of set the blueprint for Mikasa later doing the same with Eren. Not that Levi's relationship with Erwin was the same as Mikasa's with Eren, but Erwin was a very important person to Levi, for reasons I've spoken about at length, and he let Erwin go for Erwin's sake. People always say this decision was selfish, but it was actually the exact opposite. Levi lost someone that he relied on to guide him. It was a completely selfless sacrifice, one born out of compassion, made to end the suffering of a fellow human being. That's a lot like Mikasa letting go of Eren. She lost the person she loved and dreamed of spending her life with, and she chose to lose him to save what remained of humanity.

Anyway, thank you for your kind words and I hope my answer was what you were looking for!

Assigning AOT Characters Johnnie Guilbert Songs

Johnnie is like highkey my favorite person right now and his music is so fucking good and yeah... i'll be putting a lyric next to the song to make my point even more solid

Eren: Vampire- "As I take my one last breath, you want me dead so here's your wish, as you lay my body to rest."

Mikasa: Ghost Like You- "On my own again, with the thoughts in my head since you left. I've been singing in the rain."

Armin: Anxiety- "And I'll just be the one who's crying his heart out. And I'll try to sing along to a song that never ends. I know that I am wrong, so goodbye my closest friend."

Jean: Emotional- "Making mistakes, running out of patience, blood drips down the walls."

Sasha: Fake Positivity- "I'll be honest, I don't wanna trust you, don't wanna lose you, but I think I like you."

Connie: All My Friends Are Dead- "All my friends are dead, so we can stop pretending. All my friends are dead, so here's your happy ending."

Levi: Repair- "Everyone close to me is not near, what can I do to repair this? Is there any purpose? Is it too late to say I'm sorry again?"

Erwin: Goodnight- "If I die here, bury me and everything I leave as the fear slowly takes a part of me. I hope you see a different side of me as I leave, as I say goodnight."

Hange: Violent Dream- "I can't trust myself, everything's breaking, everything's taking me to hell. Locked inside a cell, no one's gonna save me, walls are closing in. I'm afraid they're gonna take me."

Annie: Afraid- "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm just scared of what I'll do. It's so crazy, it's so crazy, being a skeleton to you."

Reiner: Doctor- "Calling all the doctors, can you please fix me? I am on a mission, nobody is helping."

Bertholdt: Zombie- "You're getting close now, I'm not myself now, you make me nervous."

Historia: Goodbye- "I won't forget you, nothing is the same. Life keeps going, everything has changed. I won't forget you. If you ran away, wouldn't blame you."

Ymir: Letters- "Dear Juliet, I write to you hoping our love is true. Dear Juliet, won't you say to me, you're my everything and more."

warning hcs ahead

since titan shifters heal so quickly, i feel like they cant get drunk or get sick. like zeke who smokes but his lungs never change or get damaged over time. i hc that sometimes porco pieck n colt drink tg here n there, but colt is the only one who ends up black out drunk.

they can feel some sort of sting or burn, but it quickly goes away. like captain america ykwim??? reiner who has to remind his mom he can’t get sick, but that doesn’t stop him from almost freezing this arms off. armin who’s not used to not being sick during flu season since he was always first to fall ill.

& when the power of the titans wears off, they forget they can’t heal like they used to. though, pieck doesn’t drink anymore since it reminds her too much of her fallen comrades. armin who swears to mikasa he’s fine but he can’t breathe thru his nose & annie who doesn’t know what do to when reiner gets her sick.

i love them sm but i lowk dont know how it would work lol

I saw everyone drawing Mikasa in Eren's shirt so I would like to offer this concept for consideration

i use tiktok mostly just to post my own edits and see my mutuals stuff now bc im sick of the fandom on there. most of them clearly watched the show with their head up their ass or smth because they’re manage to come up with the most simultaneously hilarious and horrible takes ever.

also because not a single one of them can take bertholdt’s character seriously without rehashing the exact same name jokes i’ve heard since i joined the fandom in 2021. like sure some are funny but it gets so old so quickly, and when you make a post actually going into his character and being a bit more serious the comments are just “poor [some word beginning with b]” like PLEASE SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT!!!

literally had to put in the caption of one of my bert videos “stfu about his name for once” bc i knew the kind of comments i’d receive if i didn’t.

this fandom rather completely forgets his character (who is extremely important to the plot and towards the entire character of reiner but that’s a whole other thing), hates him for what he did even tho they love reiner/annie, or they treat him like a joke and never bother to go past surface level with his character.

he is the most interesting warrior imo because he was the first to openly admit and see that all the fighting was stupid and pointless. that the paradis eldians were no different from him and him killing them wasn’t personal, it was what had to be done to save his father. there’s alot more to him but im worried this will become like 3k words if i dont stop but most of the fandom can’t even comprehend that its actually ridiculous.

people treat him like absolute shit because he died first and he was weak when firstly shut the fuck up?? he was not weak in the slightest and had the most powerful titan ability bar the actual fucking founding titan. like oh my god. and other people say “oh he was too attached to reiner” dog that’s the point. of his character. oh my god.

idk i think im just sick of the fandom treating him like this. he and connie are imo the most overlooked characters in the entire animanga.

and don’t even get me started on how shit both him and connie are treated in official arts and stuff bc. wow

HEY that's MY emotional support morally ambiguous misunderstood full of trauma touch starved yearning for love drenched in blood responsible for numerous atrocities comfort character who is TRYING & u will TREAT them with RESPECT
