I'll probably make a more cohesive, thoughtful post on this at some point, but can someone tell me what the hell is up with the ending of the anime version of A Choice With No Regrets being basically a character assassination of Erwin?
In the original VN story he's a little cold (or that's a result of the only available English translation being overly direct in the way it was translated), but in the manga I completely believe in the idea that Levi would WANT to follow Erwin by the end. But for some reason the anime writers decided to make the way Erwin talks to Levi less sympathetic and inspiring, but logical, and more... entirely abusive, and while that's not my only problem with the anime adaptation of that side story, it's the one that bothers me the most, because the manga version genuinely has some of the best characterization for Levi and Erwin in the series.

It's an undeniable fact that Hange was the first one to extend a hand of genuine friendship towards Levi, Farlan and Isabel. I'm pretty sure after the death of his friends, she was the one to bridge the gap between him and the rest of the scouting legion. Sure, levi admired Erwin and was loyal to that man, but I think with Hange, his relationship was much more easygoing from the start.
And it's evident from the last bit that Hange pretty much made Levi see the Survey Corps as something more with that cheerful introduction of hers and treating him like an equal, rather than a 'rat from the underground'.

On why Levi loves tea:
I’ve seen parts of this before but not all of its so,
The Underground is an incredibly dirty and inhospitable place with few resources including clean water. As the only water ever seen in the underground is literally shit brown.
Tumblr media
Even assuming that it did just come from a sewage pipe if it’s leaking all over onto the ground and in exposed canals that are so dirty the water is nearly black,
Tumblr media
its going to get into the water table no matter what
So not only are they living in a place filled with disease and probably terrible air quality, from exposed sewage, lack of ventilation, etc. they don’t really have fresh clean water to wash their bodies with or drink.
Therefore boiling would be the best option to kill all the germs and bacteria that would be found in even the cleanest water (because Levi would 100% trek miles for a bucket of the cleanest water the underground had to offer whenever possible)
After boiling they’d either have to wait until it cools or drink plain hot water that still tasted like essence of shit.
But a good strong black tea could do wonders to cover up the repulsive flavor, plus the caffeine helps him stay alert unlike alcoholic beverage alternatives. Coming from above ground his mom may have even introduced the concept to him.
Until he become successful with the ODM gear thefts tea would likely have also been expensive and difficult to obtain underground. Whether he used the ODM gear to steal the tea itself or money to order tea we’ll never know (personally I like to headcanon him stealing tea directly from the MPs)
But because of the scarcity of tea it was a luxury product for most of Levi’s life. So even when he made it above ground and joined the survey core drinking tea stuck with him as a habit as well as a luxury symbolizing the relative stability in his new life and all the above ground amenities he’d dreamed of for 20+ year. Sorta as a comforting “I made it” drink.
and let’s be honest growing up with those kinds of water problems he probably still doesn’t trust water and prefers it boiled and the flavor covered with black tea leaves.

i wonder how levi’s relationship with the other veterans would differ if isabel and farlan survived to the main story. would he be closer to them, because he didn’t have to endure losing the people closest to him, and didn’t shut himself off due to it? or would he be even more shut off, the three of them their own little unit, rarely talking to other scouts?

A Choice With No Regrets:
I watched the No regrets ova first back in 2016, when I first got into aot. Then, I read the No regrets manga. And I personally found the manga more accurate according to characterization and canonically how they behave. In the anime, they made Erwin really apathetic and cold than he is.
Levi's reaction to Isabel and Furlan's death was more intense and emotional in the anime ova, but it was more controlled and relatively less intense in the manga. I found his reaction in the manga more like him. Levi lived in the underground, where death was everywhere. He was used to it. It doesn't mean he didn't care about them enough to go into rage mode. No, it's not that.
Levi was a character, for me, who likes being in control and have a more thought throughout reaction. There were many instances where he tells Mikasa to calm down. So, Levi doesn't usually have a reckless reaction. He takes his time and quickly analyse the situation first. That's the first thing surviving in the underground taught him. Not to be blinded by rage and emotions.
Their death definitely impacted him critically. But, we see how he already anticipated thier death before leaving them in the manga. Levi is always shown to have amazing insight and quick thinking. He did calculate the risks, he turned back hoping, just maybe there's still possibility his friends were alive. But it was a bit too late. He then takes all the titan down, but unlike the anime, in a less angered and more calm manner.
He does jumps and takes Erwin down, but you need to note, that he could almost kill Erwin. I don't know if it's him who went easy on Erwin or Erwin managed to block his blades, but I think the fact, despite the loss he still listened to Erwin and what he got to say. And Levi broke thier deal down and now willingly joined the survey crops. He now had a great purpose to put his strength towards and be a weapon for the sake of humanity.
Manga shows how Levi stays calm and doesn't let his emotions blind his actions, despite all the loss he has faced. It must have took him so much time to get over thier deaths considering they were his first friends. But Levi is so used to death that his reaction is not frantic or shocked but rather understanding and he tries to find meaning and worth in life. He would make sure their deaths weren't in vain. He still caries the hurt from thier deaths: his mom, Isabel and Furlan,and later on, his squad, Erwin, Hange and other many survey crops soldiers.
Levi doesn't have a overly emotional reaction to death on the the outside,he is still the most emotional character on the show. He reacts to death a bit differently than others, he views it as something bound to happen at some instance in life. Death is something natural for him, but he makes sure it just isn't meaningless. He tries to find meaning and worth in it. Trying so hard not to let the deaths of his comrades be in vain.
He also tries not to get to affected by the deaths to a point he can't function in grief. Levi, would rather, as I said, make thier sacrifice worth it than mourn about it. He likes a positive approach in this way. Many people think Levi might be a pessimistic person cuz' of his stoic and usually sullen expression, but I don't think that's true. Finding meaning and worth even in death, is rather a optimistic approach. He is a realist, but that doesn't make him view death as something meaningless just because it's natural. It's meaningfull and valuable to him.
Levi doesn't only value life but death as well, for him nothing is in vain.
Anyways this was just me rambling.

Inktober Day 13. Kind.
As we all know Hange was the first one to approach Levi and befrind him, regardless of his grumpiness. 
So I decided to update this old drawing which is still one of my favourites.
