#Snk but Hanji gets as much love and comfort as they deserve

Now I became selfish and I hope the shard is showing Hanji being saved by Kiyomi or something. She go the worst treatment and if Isayama was afraid of the backslash like you said why make it even worse with those parallels with eremika? Is he preparing the Fandom for another levihan moment? I'm tired of EVERYONE surviving but her, Kiyomi's kindness really??? And Onyankopon, while I don't hate him, he survived a plane crash and he doesn't add much yet he is there for being the editor's favorite, Yelena is there after all she did and she adds even less, and the people titanized will revert to human (or at the very least Isayama's favorites will).
Oh anonie, you and me both my friend, you and me both 😔 Beware, a long rant-ish meta is ahead of you lol
I have absolutely no fucking idea why Yams decided to treat Hanjo like shit. You know, after a long time of denying her death, I was starting to accept it, because she was finally free, free of the burden and pain and finally reunited with the people she missed and longed for the most. But then Yams decided to slap us all in the faces saying there's no happy & peaceful afterlife in snk and Hanjo was probs only hallucinating because of her 4 years long depression? Well then, fuck you Yams! What was that even for? Isayama never backed off of showing us the horrors of death in snk, no matter how important the characters and how brutal their deaths really were. Still, he never showed us Hanji's actual death or dead body. He kept it misterious and his vague answers only made it worse. So it's only natural for us to expect a plot twist, right? That's the reason all of us gathered various hints in the manga, anime and his interviews. And lemme tell you, these theories are far more logical, better explained and have less plot holes than the entire final arc smh (yes I'm salty, fight me lol)
I hate to admit it, my inner self is still in denial and fighting, but Hanjo ain't coming back folks. We won't get any background story and the misterious shard will never be explained to us either. Yams had more than enough time to bring Hanjo back, if he truly wanted to. But he didn't. And now with only one chapter and so many unanswered questions left, there's no time for Hange's return. Why would he even do that anyways? Hanjo isn't important to him or to the story anymore. To us she is, always was and always will be ❤️ You know, I'm so fucking desperate to see her again, I'll even take one last panel of Levi remembering her, just like in ch136. Yams just let us see Hanjo one more fucking time 🙏🏻 I need to say my proper goodbyes to my one&only comfort character, who's influenced my life like no one else ever did ❤️
Back to Levihan (I don't think I can answer an ask without my biased and trashy shipper ass butting in lmfao): the question why Yams confirmed Levihan as canon if he didn't intend to bring Hange back and reunite her with Levi to make us him happy again? Well, isn't it obvious? This man is the devil incarnate. THIS MAN HAS NO FUCKING CHILLS lmfao JK y'all before someone declares war on me and my blog haha Well anonie, I feel like Yams really wanted to confirm his initially planned ships as canon, before the manga ends. And he chose the safest way possible. Easy as that. Also he said he is going for a bittersweet ending and what's more tragic (in this literal hell) than separating lovers, ergo Eremika and Levihan.
Now to something else, that's been bothering me for a while now and I'll use your ask anonie to share my thoughts with the world even though nobody asked lmao tbh I'm a bit disappointed with Armin. I love him, I really do. He's my precious cinnamon roll and my fave 104th kiddo. But honestly, I was expecting a bit more of the alleged "hero who will safe humanity". In fact, I'm sure Hanjo only died for Armin to become the new commander. That's it. That was the reason she had to die. Yams glossed over her to make Armin shine. But in fact, Levi's the one who's giving orders ever since Hange has left them. I might me salty, but I really hope the talk with Zeke (and probs Ymir as well, we still might have a chance to see the dialog that made Ymir change her mind) and his titan nuke weren't the only things he did as "humanity's hero" in this final arc. For some people this might me enough, for me it isn't. It wasn't worth Hange's sacrifice. Also what made me really sad was Armin himself glossing over Hanjo when he remembered Erwin Danchou, but not her. Like she didn't just pass away an hour ago to save their pathetic asses. Ugh this is making me hella mad, ngl. Hanjo didn't deserve this treatment! She gave her all for this! To save the alliance, to "pay the price" for her "sins" as the SC commander and to save humanity. I can't deal with how all of them and the fandom apparently forgot about that.
Now on to "Kiyomi's kindness" lol I wasn't really mad at Gabi for saying this as most of the fandom was. I won't go into detail why she isn't really a rationally thinking character (yo guys, you do remember she's a 12 year old kid, right?), but it's a fact that she didn't care for Hange enough to mention her. I mean, why would she? She barely even knew her. Also we don't really know what's gonna happen with Yelena, Kiyomi and her delegation. I don't know if I'm reading too much into it, but I feel like Kiyomi accepted her death with saying "that's not enough atonement for what I did anyway". I mean they don't know if the alliance will win (they probably think they won't) and they're in the middle of literally nowhere. So I feel like Gabi said that because Kiyomi sacrificed herself (and the others on that ship) willingly, for Gabi, Falco and Annie getting a little chance of surviving and helping the alliance. But I get the rage of the fandom. Especially because no one, except for Levi, remembered Hange after her noble sacrifice.
As for Yelena and Onyankopon, there obviously has to be someone from outside of Paradis to survive the rumbling, otherwise it wouldn't make a lot of sense, I guess. I like Onyankopon a hecking lot ❤️ precious boi was literally crying for Hanjo 😭 Yelena on the other hand deserves what she got. Death would be too easy and kind for her tbh. She has to live with the consequences, just like Kiyomi, so I'm actually glad they survived. So my guess is, it's not really about who's Yams' favorite and what these people are contributing to the story, but it's rather about a logical ending and a good conclusion of the story.
I agree with you about the ones who have been titanized. They'll for sure revert back to humans. It's not really Yams' style to kill of an important character like Gabi, whose character development he's been forcing on us for quite a while now lol. I'm pretty positive about an ending with the titan curse being broken and bringing the titanized people back to human beings (probs also the millions of colossal titans?). It's only natural for Yams to end the story with the titan curse being lifted. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to end his story at this point. But let's not forget what a big ass troll Yams is lmao you never really know what he's up to, so let's prepare for the unimaginable lmfao
I'll probably never forgive Isayama for what he did to Hange, his best written character, how he completely ruined her and threw her away as disposable, just to make other characters "shine". HER DEATH WAS POINTLESS AND IT DID NOT FUCKING CHANGE ANYTHING! That's the harsh truth y'all. Yams betrayed Hanjo and us AND FOR WHAT?
Thanks for the ask anonie and sorry I turned this into my personal rant lmao hope you still enjoy reading my thoughts on this ❤️

Levi Ackerman - Last man standing
Four years ago, when Erwin died, after I reluctantly started to come to terms with the devastating shock and disbelief, the thing that hurt me the most was the knowledge that Levi would have to go on living and breathing in a world without Erwin in it.  It just seemed so Impossible, so unfathomably sad that Levi would have to go on fighting, desperately trying to fulfil his vow to Erwin and their fallen comrades, after loosing almost everyone he ever cared about.
Tumblr media
The Answers book, which was published in Japan the same day that chapter 84 came out, provided a small crumb of comfort, by reiterating what an important presence Erwin was in Levi’s life.  And later the Character Guide clarified unambiguously that Levi chose to save Erwin by allowing him to die, however it also twisted the knife cruelly by confirming that Levi had lost someone irreplaceable to him.  And that’s what really hurt; knowing that Erwin was gone, the relentless irrevocability of his death.  Because despite the fantastical nature of the SnK world, death for everyone but the Titans and the Shifters was visceral, permanent and very, very real.  Once a person died that was it, they were gone in all but memory.  The only glimmer of hope was Isayama’s love of flashbacks and his hint that, even though Erwin was dead, he might draw him again.  And bless Yams, he turned out to be as good as his word.  Erwin might have been dead and gone, but he lived on in his comrades’ memories as an inspiration and a vow.  But he was never more than a memory, an absence at the heart of the story.  
Tumblr media
Despite the revelations of the post-Shiganshina arcs, and the realization that there was a whole other plane of existence that Eldians could be transported to, the Paths dimension, there was never a hint of any kind of afterlife for anyone but the Shifters and Ymir herself.  That was left for the fic writers to imagine, and boy did we imagine it.  We’ve written reams of stories featuring Erwin watching over Levi from beyond, some of which I’ve linked below.
Consequently, the appearance of what seems to be some kind of legit afterlife in the canon world is unexpected to say the least.  It’s still not remotely clear what kind of afterlife Isayama has presented us with here.  It’s doesn’t appear to be the Paths dimension, it looks very much like the “real” world. Previously when we’ve seen the Survey Corps dead they’ve been mute shades, bearing silent witness to their comrades trials and sufferings.  
Tumblr media
This is very, very different, Erwin and the others seem real and corporeal and conscious of events going on in the world.  Seeing Erwin’s open smiling face melted my heart but knowing that he watched the plane carrying Levi take off almost destroyed me.
Tumblr media
So where does all this leave Levi? On the one hand, knowing that Erwin and his soldiers are watching over him, waiting there for him in some kind of apparently benign afterlife eases the pain of his suffering somewhat, but knowing that he is not just the last of the Veterans, but the last of his generation is soul destroying.  
Ever since it became clear that Levi would not be going out in a blaze of glory immediately after Erwin’s death, my two greatest fears have been that some plot device would prevent him from being able to kill Zeke, and that he would be the last man standing, alone at the end of the world.  So far, I’ve been right on the first count, and it looks horribly likely that I might be right on the second count too.
There’s been endless speculation about how the story will end, and as far as I’m concerned the absolutely worst possible ending for Levi would be for Eren to wipe out humanity and then erase the memories of the people of Paradis, leaving them with no recollection that humanity had been destroyed in the name of their “freedom”.  Only Levi (and Mikasa? Will she survive? I don’t know.) would be left to live on, alone with the knowledge of his failure. Knowing that he failed to save humanity, failed to honour his comrades sacrifice, failed to fulfill his vow to Erwin, failed to even die.
I hope beyond hope that this doesn’t happen, but as things stand, it could be a very real possibility.  There doesn’t seem to be any one or anything that can stop Eren right now. Also the mind wipe is the one power of the Founding Titan that we haven’t seen come into play yet.  We know that Eren is willing to use it though, as he’s already threatened Historia with it.  Why would Yams go out of his way all those chapters ago to reveal that Ackermans are immune to the mind wipe, if it wasn’t going to come into play at some stage?  I sincerely hope I’m wrong here, but this has been niggling at the back of my mind of years now.
Tumblr media
The other thing that makes me fear that Levi will still be alive by the end of the series is that Hanji got the death than many of us hoped for for him.  Lots of people have already commented on this.  Hanji really did have the perfect ending; they got to say goodbye to their soldiers, flirt with the cute Titan shifter, say a touching farewell to Levi, before dedicating their heart to humanity and going out heroically, fighting to buy time for their comrades to escape.  And as if that wasn’t enough, they wake up in the afterlife where they get to complain to Erwin about how tough it was being commander, and constant faithful Moblit is waiting there to help them to their feet.  
Tumblr media
It’s beyond perfect, and it’s everything that Hanji deserved.  But it’s also what Levi deserved, and now I fear he won’t get that, because as many others have already pointed out, with the end of the story looming, it’s unlikely that Isayama is going to repeat himself.
Never have Kenny’s final words rung more hollow and more true. Everyone is a slave to something and Levi is a slave to his strength, to being a hero in the service of humanity.  Maybe there was a glimmer of truth in what Eren said after all.  Ackermans may not be slaves to their lieges, but they are slaves to their strength and their power.
Tumblr media
I haven’t quite given up hope yet though, and odd as it might sound, but I’m pinning my hopes on Eren and Zeke, both of whom Levi has sworn to kill.  I don’t think Levi will be the one to attempt to stop Eren, that responsibility surely has to fall to Mikasa and Armin, but Zeke’s ass belongs to Levi. Not like that.  Zeke has been MIA for months now and it’s entirely unclear if he’s alive, dead, or trapped in Paths limbo for eternity.  But if he is still alive in any meaningful way, and he re-enters the fray, that will surely give Levi his last chance for salvation and absolution.  Surely if anyone has earned peace and redemption, and a place in the afterlife beside Erwin and his friends, its Levi.  Come on Isayama, is that really too much to ask?

I am not over it. I am SO not over IT. I read the SNK manga YEARS ago when it was only chapter 100 and one day I had the dumb idea to continue that shit. I am not PLEASED and Hanji's death UTTERLY WRECKED ME, someone who wasn't even a Hanji Stan!! reading the manga made me fall in love with her quiet determination, leadership skills, and sense of duty when before I was more of an Armin type of girl? She just. won me over. and her death was NOT OKAY. I CRIED while saying no no nO NOOO OH MY GOD -
and it TORE ME APART and she was the only person in my mind ever since and I couldn't read the manga in the same nonchalant way ever again. i'm sorry i promise im getting somewhere! it legit ruined my moods and made me so sad all the time IT WAS THAT BAD and i started hating eren with absolute passion. Idek where to start? How her death was pointless & nobody gave a fuck?? and Levi thought of FRICKING ERWIN instead of Hans & I wasnt even a Levihan shipper it doesnt make SENSE! He just LOST HANS
-- and all he can think about is FUCKING ERWIN. come on MAN, and she parented the 104th even REINER had more emotions than these mfers. Everyone is alive EXCEPT HER, like onyakapon and even yelena, minor characters, it just feels so UNFAIR, i'm not mad abt death, i breathe angst like it was chocolate it was just so pointless and meaningless and no one even grieves, especially Levi who was closest to her. there was just no room for her in the plot anymore and thats what makes me pissed -
- not bc it was her time, but bc she ran out of uses to the plot and like in GOT where the character is smarter than the author. not only that, she was made so powerless and pathetic and she felt so useless and she died like that. where's the justice? the character arc? right she was there Just to Save Levi :// it's like that quote from gone girl - "the world will know that [man] threw his beloved wife like garbage, and she floated past down all the other abused, unwanted, INCONVENIENT, women"
(sorry for the fem pronouns, i'm all abt anime hange here). and its not like she wasnt a fan favorite, she's top 3 of the last character poll. just bc shes not levi and eren and armin. and cmon. yams had to nerf and minus 100 out of her iq for the INSANE plan of fucking zeke and the yeagerists, can you BELIEVE she trusted and was OUTSMARTED by ZEKE, who legit massacred the survey corps, even though SHE HAD THE SAME LEVEL OF IQ?? but noooo, plot reasons!! shes not eRwIn, what you expect 🙃
im upset, not bc my fav character died but bc it was meaningless (if falco can fly, why tf didnt he do that in the first place) and hollow in logic and in emotion. maybe snk's lesson to us is life is unfair and we should suck it up. it wasn't well earned & yams wrote hanji in a corner, like (again) in GOT where no matter what daenerys chose she was wrong. sorry i dumped all this to you!! if you're still here, thank you for listening to my month long pent up emotions, im still really sad about it
- and idk how to let go? but your writings have definitely made me feel better, it just comforts me like Levi to a bottle of bleach. thank you for still writing!!! about an anime girl in a fictional world and still delivering more emotion than the original author. my heart definitely feels better these days, though it still aches bc she deserves so much better & didnt deserve whatever the fuck she was given, thank you for championing hanji zoe rights! im 99% sure she wont be revived -
but she lives on in your writings and other fanfiction authors and artworks and i'm just so grateful we have a community like this, honestly im just glad you're here :) keep doing what you do and i hope you're safe and warm & healthy!! also to every hanji stans out there one fucking day when we love a character the author wont rip our hearts and throw it to the garbage, im so so sorry for my long long ask but if i could request maybe eren apologizing to hanji inpaths or when she got captured or
or when she died or you choose!! i saw this art by @siroyuki 2015 in twitter where he's hugging her and shit, you should check it out it gave me feels!! i just want her to be loved and appreciated :((( again thank you so much if you made it this far! im sorry if you're annoyed or smthn HHAHAHA i promise this is the last! thank you for your service to humanity we stan 💪😩👌💕💞 
ah don’t you let canon frustrate you, it doesn’t matter anyway :D like you saud, we still have fics and fanarts
however, yeah, i do kinda feel you :/ like the way yams keeps glossing over hange's death is actually a bit weird? like i know they're at war and i know that they have no time for grieving etc but the kids were literally bawling their eyes when hange died but no mention of her sacrifice at all after that? like in 136, gabi said that they should stop the rumbling to repay azumabito's kindness and that's ummmmmmm.... a little bit weird. sure, gabi is a little girl with no connection to hange but reiner, jean and connie were there, when gabi said that and they saw hange’s sacrifice, so why not say something like “yeah, we can’t let commander hange’s sacrifice go to waste?” like come on. what did azumabito do? let falco transform on the board of her ship, so now she travels on a boat? i don't think that can compare to hange's acts though. she literally brought these mfs who were ready to jump at each other's throat together and then she sacrificed her own life to give them yet another chance at success. a sacrifice that was proved to be utterly meaningless in the very next chapter? why did falco learn about his ability to fly only after hange died? why didn't he discover it upon first transformation? :/
oh, and speaking of hange's character arc? like i get it, she was depressed, she struggled with her role as a commander (even though she did everything she could and she did a damn good job at it). and i guess that this plotline was kinda resolved when she heard that erwin approved of her actions? and that's cool, if what we've seen was actually an afterlife and not hange's hallucination. because if it was indeed a product of her mind then that's, um, kinda depressing bro. hange was so desperate for someone's approval that she dreamed about it while literally dying. i just don't understand why yams didn't include a scene where kids tell her how much they respect her and what an honor it was to serve under her command or SOMETHING. but as it is, hange died, thinking she was weak and useless and, um, yeah, certainly not the end you want for your favorite character :)
so yeah, hange's death was kinda meaningless and pointless - it didn't serve the plot whatsoever + it could have been very easily avoided

Later,Hanji.
Usually in SNK fashion you get a straightforward, horrible and depressing death but I think Isayama gave us the best character send off I've seen to date.Yams didn't have to add that scene in the end where all her comrades are waiting for her but he did,because I believe he loved Hanji  as much as we all did and she deserves nothing less.To be welcomed by all the comrades she lost,have Erwin tell her that she did her job and now she can finally rest and tell them all about her adventures.
I was able to find comfort in the fact that she was able to see the world,meet new people who introduced her to the wonders of modern technology and most importantly,she finally figured out the mystery behind the titans.She died fighting against genocide and I'm so happy I got to witness her story. 
Hanji,I’m sure Levi and the kids are gonna miss you!Don’t worry I bet they're gonna make you proud.

See I don't care about snk's "epic action scenes!!!!"
I care about seeing the characters I love get the treatment they deserve.
I want to see Hanji losing Moblit because that was heartbreaking.
I want to see bertholdt show his true colors and be an asshole.
I want to see Reiner get absolutely fucked up, even though we all know that shit refuses to die.
I want to see Eren literally crying and breaking down over Armin.
I want to see Hanji hugging Mikasa to try to comfort her and keep her back from fighting Levi to save Armin, because at the end of the day, Mikasa sees Armin as family too.
I want to see Eren hugging Armin with tears in his eyes.
I don't care about Levi being his usual op self I don't care about the thunder Spears, I don't care about- well I mildly care about Mikasa throwing a sword at Bert because that was pretty funny.
But I mostly just care about seeing the emotions of this arc.
Because as disappointed as I am in the Marley arc for ruining characters I used to love via military tactics and endless exposition somewhere deep down, I remember when snk was something special to me.
I remember when I thought Eren and Mikasa and Armin were wonderful and deserved the world and their struggles mattered.
Back when snk had some soul and seemed like it was going to care about each and every one of its character.
Not necessarily keeping them alive, but giving them agency, some heart, the ability to make decisions that impacted the story.
Lately it's just been forcing characters to act out of character for the sake of a dull and mundane political plot.
So I hope that this short season reminds me why I used to so desperately love snk.
I hope it reminds me why I used to love every character until the fandom utterly ruined that for me with its stupid and creepy underage and adult ships, its fetishization of both fifteen year old boys and girls, its utter lack of respect for itself, its endless creator worship.
I honestly hope that this arc of snk is so good that it washes away all the bitterness that snk has sadly come to represent for me.
I don't know if it's the medication talking, but if done right, and without the no homo ing or forced eremika scenes, then maybe snk might actually make me happy.
And that's pretty nuts since I am no longer capable of happiness and snk hasn't made me happy since Eren and Armin hugged.
So pretty much, years ago when rts ended.

SNK NO HATE AWARENESS WEEK 2.0
Have any fic requests?? send them here x.
The Epitome Of Everything
“He’ll be fine” she sighed, directing her gaze to the horizon in front of her. “He is the strongest man after all, before Captain Levi appeared that is” her left hand grazed the small, golden ring that was wrapped around her finger. Despite Gerger’s attempt to calm her down, deep in her heart, she still worried for the man she loved, even if she trusted his skills and capabilities.
Countless of times, she had seen many of their soldiers die in battle with the titans, and her only wish was that Mike would not be a victim. He promised her a world wherein they’d be safe, he promised her everything when he put the band on her finger, she knew she should fully trust him to go alone and stall the enemy while they escaped with the 104th recruits, yet fear still lingered deep within her.
“Lets split up now and warn the villages near by, then meet up after scouting the wall” She looked at half of their squad move to the other direction quickly. without saying a word, she pulled her horse to the opposite direction and made her way, a portion of her troop following her.
The old shack from where they’ve kept the 104th recruits was still visible, run down by titans that slowly fell from her peripheral view. ‘He’d be okay’ she whispered to herself, thoughts drifting off as she rode her steed, heart string stretching down for miles, and slowly getting tangled in the mess of a war.
“Miss Nanaba” she turned back to face a connie that honestly surprised her. She wasn’t sure if she should laugh or feel pity for the boy who obviously did not take the cold very well. His arms were hugging himself despite the thick coat already enveloping him, snot drying horribly from his left nostril, almost looking like an icicle if it wasn’t already one.
“Connie, why did you leave the cabin?” she fought back the laughter and kept a stern face, never leaving her post. She was incharge of guarding the area, in the look out of any bandits or thieves while the others had dinner on this time of the night. Years of experience did not faze her anymore in this type of weather, yet it did not mean that she did not succumb to the winter winds when she was at least younger.
“I-I will be g-guarding this post m-ma’am” the poor boy shivered.
“I’m perfectly fine here, you should go and rest”
“I insist!” she looked at him like he was insane. He looked like he would have fever any moment, yet there he was, seeming so ecstatic to guard the cabins. “Sir Mike had called for you on post three”
“Ohh” a smile crept up upon her face upon hearing her lover’s name. “Well then, at least get another cadet to accompany you” he gave her a shaky salute, fists balled up tightly and trembling against his chest. She allowed herself to chuckle, shaking her head before making her way to the third post.
Most of the survey corps saw her as another respected veteran, But on other days, she would be the caring one to cook for Erwin, Levi and Mike while Hanji made the tea. She loved those moments when everything feels normal, safe and sound.
“You called?” she leaned against a torch pole, arms crossed on her chest, an eyebrow raised, and a smile plastered on her lips. As always, she couldn’t see his eyes that much due to his over grown bangs, but loved such mystery anyway.
“I smell a tired but mischievous woman” he teased, her short laughing ringing through his ears.
“so why did you command a poor freezing cadet to take my post just so I could be here?” she walked closer towards him.
“Is it bad to want to see my girl?” he asked, his signature smirk greeting her. The same one she received when he sniffed her right after she joined his squad. That was the day she slapped him for being such a creep, but he gave her a smirk anyway and did not speak. Now a days, she found it endearing when he would come close to her and place his head on her shoulder to get her scent he loved so much. His stubble grazing her neck, sending a thousand tingles across her body.
“It is not. But when we are on duty, it is” she gave him a scolding look, but was amused any how.
He hugged her from behind, leaning unto her shoulder just how she liked it. The thick coat may have prevented his growing beard from hitting her, but his warm breath reached her cheeks, on contrast to the icy weather.
“But I just want a moment with you alone” he pouted like a little kid, small reactions from him she always liked to see. She found it cute whenever Mike acted like a child. Although she should be annoyed with him interfering work sometimes, she just felt so blessed he was so comfortable to goof off around her, knowing only a few people are privileged to see that part of him.
“We have plenty of time for that when we get back to the base after the new scout’s short training” she whispered, goosebumps arising from her skin as his breaths became closer, and warmer against her. “Besides, two people getting cozy in snow would not end up good”
“That’s not what I meant” he laughed, upon hearing that she thought he was doing some kind of innuendo. “Although I would love to feel you now, that is not what I want”
“What then?” she flushed pink in embarrassment.
He took her hands upon his and gazed at her straight in the eyes, moonlight further accentuating her pale blue orbs and his grey ones. Everything seemed to wonderful, glistening under the illumination of the moon, the snow acting like glitter falling, and icicles that hung on trees like glowing lights. He deemed it would be the perfect moment, and he would not let it slide.
“Nanaba” he breathed in and out of nervousness. “Before you came, everything around me seemed like such a nuisance. I never really cared about anything and everything. Never found anything appealing, or worth living for. I joined the training scouts thinking a drunkard like me deserved to throw his life away. I was blessed with strength that allowed me to become the strongest soldier before Levi came, yet I never took pride in that. I felt like a fool, wandering around, looking for death yet kept on fighting on for no good reason. That is, until you came around”
Her eyes beamed even further, glassy and filled with emotions. God he loved her so much.
“The moment you slapped me, I knew right away, you were something” he laughed, but she never returned his humor, making him more nervous but never the less, continue. “You are beauty, simplicity, strength and everything in between. You are my everything”
She watched him, as he knelt down on the snow, his knees getting soaked up as he pulled his gloves out of the way. He had inserted them inside his pockets, only to be replaced by a small black box sitting right at his palm. He lifted the lid, revealing a simple and golden ring that gleamed under the moonlight. Tears started to well in her eyes, hands flying right to her lips in pleasant shock. She felt like she was dreaming, yet she knew it was real. Mike was proposing to her, her everything, telling her that she is his everything.
“I want us to settle down, probably have a kid or two. But not in a world filled with titans” he stated. “For the mean time, I at least want the world to know you are mine. While we fight our way through and survive together. I promise to make the world safe for my everything” he was watching her every reaction, heart pounding even more as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was happy, he made her happy. “Will you marry me?” he finally popped the question.
“Yes!” she replied without hesitation, plunging down to him with a hug. His back hitting the snow, coat slowly soaking and cold creeping up his spine, but he felt great, as she laid securely around his arms. He pulled her in for a kiss, her soft lips fitting with his perfectly like always. His hand intertwined with her right glove, removing it in one swift movement and tossing them to the side. Her bare hand touched his stubble around his jaw, bringing them closer together. He brought his hand unto hers and broke their kiss momentarily.
He placed the engagement ring unto her finger, her eyes staring at the god band as she lifted it up to the air, letting it shine through the moonlight. She couldn’t be any more happier, and so did he.
He threw his dull blades away and retrieved his gear trigger back to its resting place around his waist. He let out a loud whistle and waited for his steed to appear. He was not going to let her be there by herself while he guarded an empty shack. He had already stalled enough time for her to escape, and enough time for new enemies to come her way. He prayed that she’d be safe as he’d make his way back to her.
A large ape like titan caught his attention, its arms swinging by its sides, hair making it look like an animal rather than a titan. It looked like it did not care about anything in its surroundings, or so he thought.
He gasped as he heard his horse neigh and thrash through the beast’s hand, it body coming crashing right to him before he could even react. His shock did not allow him to retract his gear before a three meter class titan had grabbed him and bitten his legs. His gaze wondered around him, hazy through out his current situation. Fear enveloped him, as a swarm of other bigger titans started to pool around. They were waiting to devour him, their large eyes staring at him with hunger.
He screamed and flailed his body, trying to escape rom his captor’s grasp. Pain made him want to give up and get done and over with it, but Nanaba’s image under the glistening moonlight made him hold on.
“Stop” he froze, hearing a voice. The ape like titan sat right in front of him, the titan holding him stopping momentarily then proceeding to bite him once more, making him scream in agony. “Ah, stubborn one aren’t you? I said stop” he had never felt so afraid, seeing the bigger titan crush the head of the inferior one. He was dropped to the ground, fear eating him up slowly, tears streaming down his face. “What’s that on your waist? Is that what you use to kill us?” He was too shocked to give an answer, mind only hoping to get out of the mess. “Hmm, funny, I though we spoke the same language?” the beast scratched his head, but he remained speechless.
Its hand started to reach for him, he cowered in fear, ducking his head for cover as he felt a weight being lifted from his torso. He spared the beast a glance again, his gear already right at its palms as it walked away.
Then he remembered, her short blonde hair swaying with the wind as he fought enemies with her, her pale blue eyes glistening under the moonlight, her smile as she gracefully cooked in the kitchen on nights where they rested, the way she loved to feel his stubble on her own cheeks, and the way he slapped her when they first met. It was like he was slapped back to reality. He needed to get a grip of himself, for her. He wanted a safe place for her, yet he couldn’t even kill the several titans around him. He was once humanity’s strongest, and he could still do it.
He lifted his remaining blade and screamed, trying to pull himself off the ground and attack the beast who had its back turned around him. It is only when he stops fighting that he looses, he told her that, thus, he will not stop fighting, so he wouldn’t loose his everything.
“You can move now” he froze again upon the command of the beast, his limbs numb slowly getting loose as the swarm of titans ran to him, picked him up and fought over him.
“No! No! No stop! Please! Stop!” he pleaded with them, cries getting louder as bones cracked and ligaments ripped. He saw everything flash before his eyes, the last he saw was her face, before he felt immense pain on his neck and drifted off to the darkness, hoping to find their safe haven someday.
She stared back at the moonlight as she swung forward and used the last of her dull blades only to fail. She dropped down ward, hooks of her gear anchored to the tower but her gas empty, making her unable to move.
‘How did it all end up like this?’ she thought. She and Mike talked about fighting through the titan war together, and create a safe world for them to settle on, yet it was now all too good to be true. Now she was thrashing around as several titan grabbed her and nibbed at her, one limb at a time.
She cried, allowing tears to stream violently across her blood stained face, a leg already missing and the other four corners of her body, arms, head an another leg, being fought on by other titans. She saw the 104th scouts stare at her with such horror, Connie grabbing her attention most specially. She remembered the way the boy took her post just so Mike could propose to her. She remembered the way he was being playful that night and telling her that she was his everything. She remembered the way they kissed that time, wishing she could have at least one more feel of him before her death. She prayed that he was alright, having to take down the titans all by himself back at the run down shack.
A beam of light caught her eye. She stared at its direction and noticed the moonlight accentuating the golden ring she had on her right hand. It was still beautiful, simple, strong, and everything in between. It was still everything, from her everything.
She let herself smile one last time, before closing her eyes, and accepting her cruel fate, hoping to find their safe haven someday.

thanks so much for the ask! it might take me a bit to answer but aha I appreciate it. now for you: snk, mikasasha, ereri (bc I love hearing your views on ereri haha), and eren! have fun!
Thank you
001 | Fandom - SNK:
Favorite character: apparently my boys Eren&Levi
Least Favorite character: HISTORIA’S PARENTS
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): ereri, yumihisu, mikasasha, jeankasa and mobuhan!
Character I find most attractive: this is so difficult!!! maybe Eren. and Historia. Character I would marry: Levi because we’re both quiet and love tea and we wouldn’t bother each other lmao and imo he would cherish his significant other so
Character I would be best friends with: YMIR&HANGE
A random thought: why are the girls in shingeki so prettyyyy i love them, also Uprising arc is best arc
An unpopular opinion: Levi doesn’t have OCD
My canon OTP: yumihisu ahah….ah…
Non-canon OTP: ereri
Most badass character: okay ngl Levi is the best
Pairing I am not a fan of: er/em/ika
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): nobody
Favourite friendship: LEVI AND HANGE also Jean and Eren!!
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: i want to adopt all of them!!
002 - A | ship - mikasasha:
When I started shipping it: recently. and by recently i mean, like, maybe last year around spring? 
My thoughts: i stumbled upon a fic that had them as a side couple and! i fell in love so hard! Then i started actually paying attention to them in canon and wow!! They’re the cutest beans
What makes me happy about them: the fact that Sasha would be so good to Mikasa! She makes her laugh (okay, internally, but i bet she could easily make her snort). Mikasa jokes only around her in canon (the fart incident, the bread both in chuugakko and shingeki), so she’s pretty comfortable around Sasha and i think that’s good for her. It takes the best out of her, maybe even her true self. She can take off her mind from gloomy topics and she can drop her steely mask. Also, i keep saying this but, Mikasa was the only one to notice when Sasha wasn’t feeling too well at one point in the manga. And Mikasa never really pays too much attention to anyone other than Eren and Armin, so i think this speaks volumes about how much she cares about Sasha/enjoy Sasha’s lively mood! 
Tumblr media
What makes me sad about them: that they’re so underrated! like people prefer mika/ani and I’m here like WHAT? have you seen how cute they are Sasha and Mikasa together?
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: nothing, every mikasasha fic is good
Things I look for in fanfic: domestic&affectionate mikasasha maybe? as I already said, every mikasasha fic is a blessing
My kinks: Sasha likes to hug Mikasa and squish her boo/bs (is this even a kink?)
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Mikasa with Jean, he would treat her so good and treasure her like she deserves ohhghfk Sasha idk I’ve never really thought about it
My happily ever after for them: hunters!mikasasha!!!!!! They hunt together for elderly people who have always lived in villages and don’t know how to hunt. also they have a farm and they adopt a couple of children don’t @ me on this!
002 - B | ship - ereri: (oh god this is gonna be long)
When I started shipping it: I liked them back when i started reading the manga/watching the anime, so 2013? It was a quiet thing though. They became my favourites only in 2015, i can’t believe it’s already been two years!
My thoughts: i love them oh god i wish i could stop because it’s not looking good for them in the manga (i mean, they’re probably gonna die and it’s gonna hurt so bad because I’m too invested in snk and them as a couple OH MY G). i actually love their relationship in canon, it really warms my heart because they share really meaningful, important moments, in particular for Eren’s character development and growth as a person.
What makes me happy about them: i love that Levi has a deep understanding of Eren. He always watch out for him, and it’s obviously not only because he was ordered to keep him under control by the MPs. Also, in the end we know that his duty is to keep Eren safe and he really is trying hard on that. 
Tumblr media
And i love how Eren’s feelings have shifted from blind hero-worship to something more meaningful. Because now he actually knows Levi and it’s amazing how easily he came to accept Levi’s shortcomings and they’re now comfortable around each other. And he still respects him a great deal, which we saw wasn’t always the case in many instances (the new squad Levi didn’t care about Levi’s cleaning standards, they also initially didn’t trust him too much and thought he was too harsh and openly criticised him. Also other people mocked Levi for his height or called him mad etc. That’s why i think Levi&Eren could really work well together, because they understand each other so well. it’s not really an overly apparent thing, i don’t know how to say it, they just get the other’s feelings/idiosyncrasies without speaking about it. And they actually accept them wholeheartedly. So yeah, together they could relieve the grief they’re both consumed by). When Eren is lost, he always thinks about Levi and what he taught him. I also love that they generally care about each other in a really subtle way; Levi always checks up on Eren and tries to comfort him with words, even if he’s not that good at expressing his own feelings/comforting people
Tumblr media
Eren also thinks about his captain’s safety in more than one occasion. i love to think that, if they ever got in a relationship, they would support each other, especially since I think both of them are kind of selfless (in different ways but) and they just don’t seem to care about themselves. So together they would take care of each other. I don’t know if all this makes sense but, yeah, I’m just so overwhelmed by my own feelings right now.
What makes me sad about them: Eren’s going to die. what the hell, I’m still so upset. And there’s also the chance that Levis gonna die, too. Or he’s gonna be one of the only survivors from the SC and i can’t deal with the idea of Levi being left behind. Levi has always looked so sad, kinda melancholic to me and he’s close to depression, imo. I would like him to find some kind of solace but i don’t see it happening and it saddens me. The fact that he’s going to watch Eren, a person he learned to respect and care about, die is just so. cruel. idk, I’m sad now.
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: “UKE LEVI or UKE EREN” what the fuck it’s not 2011 anymore. “Brat”. Levi treating Eren like shit but Eren loves him anyway (what the hell…)
Things I look for in fanfic: mutual respect and trust. caring!Levi. extra pining on both ends ahah and awkward!Levi. bonus if it’s a reincarnation au! Or canonverse.
My kinks: ok this might sound weird but since that one time Eren bled form his nose…i think i like things related to blood with them. but maybe i just love when Levi takes care of Eren? i don’t know.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Eren with nobody idk he never really showed interest in anyone else in my opinion, Levi would be cute with Hanji maybe? because they work so well as a duo. Levi would be exasperated to no end ahah it would be fun
My happily ever after for them: more like “saddily ever after”? I think they would chose to live together away from everyone (gladly accepting visits from Mikasa&co), on the outskirt of Paradis Island by the ocean or the countryside, waiting for Eren to…die. They would spend their days quietly, murmuring sweet nothings while reading on the sofa, Eren would swim a lot and Levi would scowl at all the sand but he would secretly love the taste of salt on Eren’s skin; they would give each others massages to relieve the ache in their bones and drink tea every night by the fireplace. they also would cuddle A Lot because Levi is a fucking cuddler and you can’t convince me otherwise. I would really like for them to have a happy ending and I do hope a cure to the titan curse can be found in canon but it’s pretty unlikely to me, unfortunately.
003 | Character: Eren
How I feel about this character: he is my son and i will protect him and love him forever
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Levi. and Historia, yeah
My non-romantic OTP for this character: erejean!!! best duo!
My unpopular opinion about this character: apparently a lot of people think he will look like Grisha after the time skip, but I’m positive that if he still has long hair he’s gonna look like Carla and I’m so glad because Carla is beautiful!! also i don’t think Eren has romantic feelings for Mikasa. And his rage is not a thing to laugh about. He had a pretty fucked up life till now and i know how hard it is to live with so much anger and grief, especially when you don’t know how to get rid of them.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i wish he could live till 80 yo ahah I’m sAD
My het ship: erehisu
My fem/slash ship: uuhhhh? fem!Levi/fem!Eren (there’s a lovely fic on ao3 with them!!)
My OTP: ereri
My OT3: ererijean!
My cross over ship: /
My kink: Eren loving himself
A headcanon: Eren is actually pretty good at cooking and has dimples when he laughs
My gender bend: Ererin? I don’t know if this can be considered as such tho, i headcanon Ererin as genderfl/uid so
