The Death of Erwin, Who Lived for His Dream

After losing his friend within an equal relationship, Levi will…?

- Erwin losing his life at the Battle at Shiganshina - that was quite a shocking development. Isayama: To have Erwin perish during that point was pre-planned. I always wanted to portray Levi and Erwin as having an equal relationship. Erwin bears an innocent motivation to “seek the truth” and a need for atonement, since his actions had led to his father’s death. He joined the Survey Corps due to these two reasons. Then little by little, he ended up in the position of leading this group, while he himself wavered between the roles of “a child who chased his dream” and “an adult who carried responsibilities.” In order to affirm his self-identity, he fabricated the false ambition of fighting “For humanity’s future,” and he continued to fool himself.

- A man viewed as someone who “abandoned his humanity” actually never abandoned his own dream and purpose for living. It’s truly astonishing. Isayama: This is the same for Levi. The reason Levi always operates alongside Erwin is because he interpreted Erwin’s “For Humanity’s Future” as an altruistic intention that Levi never considered himself, so Levi ends up adopting it as his own life’s mission. Hence, Levi also requested for Erwin to become a man who is “loyal to the mission” and “can make composed decisions.” When he discovers that Erwin actually has a selfish goal like his “dream,” it can be said that he felt betrayed. However, he also recognizes that this person whom he cannot hope to surpass actually has “an innocent, childlike side that chases dreams.”

my friend and i are huge fans of your work ans she wants me to ask you this, how would james react to seeing his crush in an abusive realationship with her bf? like hitting and cheating. l Thank you!

Awe hi to you and your friend!! Thank you so much for reading my stuff :) ❤️

You know how James reacted to Clementine in the cave in episode 4? How aggressive he got with Clem? That’s how he would act. First, privately, he would ask them if they’re okay. “Are you happy?” He’d ask, knowing something felt off. When they tensely said yes, he would ease off, but not a lot. The moment he saw their partner lay hands on them, he’d take action. He slam in their knees and force them to the ground, pushing his boot onto their chest, keeping them down. “You’re sick.” He would spit. “Don’t you ever lay your hands on them again.” He’d force his boot down harder. “If you do, I won’t go this ease on you.” He’d force his boot down as far as possible as he turned away, gathering his crush protectively in their arms and whisking them away. At all times, he stayed beside them. He’d keep a hand on their back, or in their own palm guiding them everywhere they went, helping ensure they felt safe.

I would just love to see a scene where basically:

After all the fighting is finally over, Eren (in his own tsundere-ish way) admits he now wants to save all the very remaining titans he once vowed to wipe out from the face of the earth, and he also now has the power to do just that. Only he replaces “save all the titans” with something like “free all humans who are trapped inside of titans” in an attempt to be slick about it and make it look good. Depending on the circumstances, this could even extend to him also wanting to save all the remaining “good” Marleyans, if any, and certainly all the remaining warriors, if any remain, and be a tsundere about that too.

Historia snickers to herself as she sees this as a great opportunity to get playful with him, and she takes full advantage of it, calling Eren out on what he really means, playfully teasing him over the irony, and blurting it out to everyone else nearby so they can also join in. This gets Eren all flustered up and makes him have a priceless, comical mad and tsundere-ish overreaction while also blushing very hard and crossing his arms as well as pouting and turning away like a child. Eren’s reaction makes Historia laugh so lively and sincerely, a site that Eren quickly switches to blushing lightly and smiling sweetly at as well as even laughing a bit himself upon seeing it, even calling it cute in his head.

And because this would be Eren after he has taken the ultimate level in badass and fully “progressed to that divine maturity and sacred wisdom” his name stands for with the help of Zeke (hence the meaning of his name “God will strengthen”) and the Progenitor Titan and its memories/experience/intelligence/wisdom/etc, that would make it that much bigger of a deal that Historia is getting the best of Eren even at his absolute best.

This would make a great parallel to when Eren once accidentally got Historia triggered over the irony of how she was saving the very humans she once said she wanted to just be destroyed. Even if it were just fan art or whatever, that would still be great to see (though extra credit points if it really does happen even in the actual manga canon).

This is cute

Hi can I request some hcs/a fic where Levi has an SO that snores really loud? And like it becomes his comfort noise so he sleeps better when he can hear her. Love your work

image

Lmao this is gonna be a bit of a struggle 

bear with me bois

HCs Masterlist

Requests open

• At first, he is absolutely p i s s e d

• Levi is one hella light sleeper so at first, he’d probably smack his S/O awake and then be like “What the hell, Y/N? You snore too damn loud.” 

• Endless smacks to the face™

• “Levi, what was that for?” “You sound like a fucking pig.” “Oink oink, bitch.”

• Levi’s endless complaining about it in the morning™

• But then after some titan attack or anything that causes casualties happens Levi quickly takes comfort in his S/O’s snoring

• Insomnia is a bitch™ so when Levi is dragged to bed by his S/O he just lays there and listens to her and knows that they’ve survived yet another day

• Even before everything went down, Levi was always thinking until he started listening to his S/O

• After leaving the walls and reaching the ocean, Levi somewhat feels at peace knowing they probably won’t have to deal with titans like they used to. But with the new anxieties about knowing there’s humanity outside the walls, Levi’s sleep probably goes down to as little as possible, but when he does fall asleep he isn’t haunted with everything at first because he hears his S/O right next to him.

• Especially after Erwin’s death, Levi is absolutely plagued with guilt, but when his S/O hugs him and pulls him to bed it’s like those thoughts melt away when he hears his S/O start snoring.

It would be romantic if Isayama would show us (I wish) a scene, more like a flashback in which Eren takes Historia to the sea. I really want to see the Queen's reaction XD. As well as Eren's, if he were to see Historia's pretty face while looking at the ocean. Then somewhere along the line, she tells him how beautiful the ocean is, then Eren *looking fondly at Historia* replies, "yes it is.." but keeps on staring at her.. OMG XD any thoughts about this??

Awww that's cute. I can totally see her saying "too bad I didn't get to see the ocean with you (the scouts)" then Eren replays with "that's easy , let's go together next time" with a smile.

Though he is not interested in the ocean but as long as she feels happy it doesn't matter.

Why I feel this already happened?
