#attack on titan livestock

[autumnmobile12]

So after the Fall of Shiganshina, you’re telling me the Scouts never stumbled across anyone’s abandoned livestock?  There’s no way all of Wall Maria managed to bring all their animals with them.  The titans only eat humans.  No one was just galloping along and was like,  “Hang on, was that a cow?”

And here’s the thing:  Pigs go feral super fast.  Feral pigs are super aggressive.  Attacks on humans are rare, but if they’re startled by...I don’t know, some rando charging up on a horse, yeah a feral hog might be inclined to murder.

Levi:  Would rather face a titan than a pig.

Eren:  ???

rewatching attack on titan for the millionth time and somehow this show still manages to get my brain in a fucking chokehold

#attack on titan #i must've seen season 1 like ten times at least #the other seasons i've not rewatched as much but my sister is finally watching it all so i decided to rewatch it too #there is a lot of rewatch value after having seen season 4 ngl #seeing how fucking unhinged eren is even at the beginning does hit different now #all his fury about being like 'livestock' #i think it's very clever in this show that the protagonist becomes the antagonist but his values barely change #the viewer is the one that changes #because we learn so much more about the world of the story #it's a bait and switch and it's very good

Afternoon Tea

Not a creative title, but just a moment that I've thought about a lot lately. What would post-war teatime be like with Levi? This is just one thought I had. Maybe I'll write more of them idk. I feel like these would be amongst the sweetest moments with him, especially if you're alone together. Attack on Titan - Levi x Reader fluff, tea, post-war, soft Levi i just wanna smoosh his cheekies so much, gender neutral reader Word Count: 800 It's important to just take the time to appreciate things.

The soft ticking of the wall clock, the gentle tinkling of cups as you placed them on the tray, the smell of freshly brewed tea. These things all engulfed you, demanding your full attention each and every day. Now it felt so important to take that time out and appreciate little things like the passage of time or the comfort of a hot drink. You never had before.

Furrowing your brow slightly, you followed the instructions you’d been given and carefully prepared the pot of tea, placing it on the tray too. It was not one of your strengths, but you threw your whole being into doing it to the best of your abilities each and every time, chasing that appreciative hum you hoped to hear. With a deep breath you picked up the tray and made your way out the door, careful not to catch your ankles on the wheelchair that sat beside it. Your ankle was still tender from doing so earlier.

You gently padded down the couple of steps into the front garden. You had searched long and hard for a suitable home without steps but he had insisted it would be fine, it was only a few and there was a sturdy handrail. And he had you. You had blushed furiously when he had said that. At a glance, his face had seemed disinterested and aloof, peering down at the paper he was reading, but you saw the way his eyes relaxed and his gentleness crept over his features. The next day you began preparing to move in.

Like then, he was peering down at the paper once more, not even glancing up when you set the tray down on the table. You slid onto the bench next to him, careful not to catch his walking stick that hung over the back, and stared across the garden and out into the fields before you. Far off you could see hills rise up, barely able to make out the moving specks of colour that must be grazing livestock. The breeze gently wrapped around you and your eyes fluttered shut.

A long moment passed before you heard the rustling of papers and felt movement as Levi put them down on the table, tucking an edge under the tray so it wouldn’t be caught if the wind picked up. Before you could open your eyes there was warmth. His arm had briefly found its way around your shoulders, pulling you in gently as his lips ghosted over your cheek. You felt like your heart was doing flips, like it was the first time he kissed you all over again that darkened night under the stars when he had convinced you to take a late night stroll with him. You heard him pouring the tea and slowly opened your eyes.

“I hope I got it right this time.”

He stared down at his cup and took a tentative sip. You awaited that appreciative hum, but it seemed it wasn’t coming.

“Better,” he finally said, still staring at his cup. He took another sip, and the slightest noise emanated from him. That was close enough for you and you felt a light blush spread across your cheeks alongside your smile.

When he finally looked up at you and saw your smile he seemed to freeze. After a moment, he gently set down his tea and turned to take your face in his hands. His thumbs gently stroked your soft skin as he held your gaze. You didn’t even realise you’d stopped breathing at first. Your lips parted soundlessly. His scarred skin, his damaged eye, none of it took away from how striking he was. He was just as handsome as when you met, maybe even more with that weight finally off his shoulders. Peace looked good on him.

He often held your face like this these days. He’d taken to just staring at you as much as possible. At first it had been kind of uncomfortable, especially that first night you woke up to find him gazing down at you as you slept. But the second you saw how flustered he got, apologising and trying to explain, you had thrown your arms around him and squeezed him so tightly. You had tried to muffle your sob into his shoulder when he squeezed you back just as tight, the happiness and love threatening to spill out of you at any moment. But as always he held you together. As always he kissed you gently.

He kissed you gently once again, that day in the warm wind on the bench outside the home you shared, while the tea he had taught you how to brew slowly cooled, forgotten and unimportant when the taste of your lips was available instead.

ÄYLCEPHOMUS CELESTIAL HIERARCHY

SERAPH (plural noun: SERAPHIM): They’re celestial humanoids with six fiery wings, one pair for flying, another covering the face and the final pair covering the feet, crotch or torso. They are the natural caretakers of their creator’s divine throne and bearers of sacred knowledge. They also help to maintain the equilibrium of the universe and carry out purification rituals by touching the lips with burning coal from an altar. They’re the highest in the celestial hierarchy, which means they’re the closest to divinity and the firmament of heaven. They’re most commonly seen in the Primum Mobile of The Angels and Empyrean.

CHERUB (plural noun: CHERUBIM): They have two large pairs of wings that appear to be like polished bronze and are said to create thunder by flapping them.

They’re most commonly seen at the gates of heaven, the sacred garden, Primum Mobile of The Angels, and Empyrean.

OPHANIM, GALGALIM or THRONE (plural noun: THRONEs): When in their true form, they appear to be four interlocking, eye-covered wheels that surround either a celestial youth or fetus.

They’re most commonly seen in the sacred garden, Moon of The Inconstant, and Primum Mobile of The Angels.

WATCHER (plural noun: WATCHERs): Originally, they were dispatched by the divine council and even the titans to watch over the humans. Unfortunately, after procreating with humanity and bringing the Nephilim into the multiverse, most were kicked out of heaven. For those who weren’t abandoned or didn’t participate in this incident, they were forced to become celestial warriors that protected heaven from the attacks of infernal beings or shepherds that attend to their livestock.

They all have two wings that mimic the natural hues of the purple starling, lilac-breasted roller, and the train of a male Indian peafowl. They’re commonly seen throughout the spheres of heaven, but most inhabit Venus of The Lovers, the Primum Mobile of The Angels and the Fixed Stars of Faith, Hope and Love.

EARTHLY ANGEL (plural noun: EARTHLY ANGELs): They are entrusted with the affairs of the world and keeping records on the actions of people. They’re lowest in the celestial hierarchy, which means they’re the closest to the earth and humanity. Male-bodied messenger angels have the wings of a male loon and the plumage of the female-bodied resembles that of a house sparrow. Similar to choir angels and archangels, they are commonly seen throughout the spheres of heaven, but most inhabit the Moon of The Inconstant and Mercury of The Ambitious.

LONGGG rant about attack on titan’s ending and how it correlates to the whole idea of “eren was never free” under the cut

i love aot’s ending.

first things first: aot was never meant to have a happy ending. the whole point is that eren always wanted something better, something greater than the situation he was stuck in. he reached for that, a world beyond what he could see, and he called it freedom. he thought that if he could have a world outside the walls, they would be free. they would be happy.

in the conversation armin and zeke had in the paths, zeke said that the purpose of life is to multiply. he, like eren, thought that you had to look for something greater to be happy, to be free.

eren wasn’t satisfied with just multiplying as a meaningless life form, of course. as a child inside the walls, living with a false sense of security and safety, he said that they were living like livestock. and reproducing without any purpose in life— that is a cow, a pig, those are animals who only live to eat, sleep and procreate. eren didn’t want that.

and see here; this is how zeke and eren share the same idea. the yeager brothers both believe that to be free, you have to go outside the walls and constantly strive for a higher ideal.

but think— even though eren got what he wanted, when he reached the sea, it was when everything went downhill. personally, i think he realized that he’d been leading himself on all this time. he couldn’t be free. not if he slaughtered everyone else, not if he killed everyone who wasn’t from paradis.

eren was always looking for more, looking for the freedom that would satisfy him once and for all. he wanted to have nothing in his way, and that in itself is impossible to achieve.

however (and this is the part i adore), armin is eren’s opposite.

yes, he also wanted to go to the sea, to witness mountains of fire and lands of ice as he said it, but he was content with staying inside the walls.

not because he was fine with being livestock.

armin saw purpose in everything. and he didn’t think of himself as livestock in the first place.

talking to zeke, he said that he would’ve been content just racing with mikasa and eren every day, on that hill, young forever and lost in the happiness of a simple activity that he knew he enjoyed.

he said that he thought that was the purpose of life; to be happy, to find happiness in what you have. and that was freedom for him; because he was free doing what he loved and found meaning in the tiniest things.

eren, in comparison, couldn’t do that.

here’s the thing. eren succeeded in killing 80% of the world’s population, but he was still unsatisfied. why? because he still. wasn’t. free. there were still wars left to be fought and enemies left. perhaps he made things harder for his friends, even.

as shown in the ending, war rages on, after his death and after mikasa’s death and armin’s death. there cannot be freedom if freedom, to eren, means a state of constant peace and happiness; happiness is never everlasting.

but armin was free because despite everything, he believed in happiness and freedom and loving everything he did, even in the seemingly meaningless playthings.

armin taught zeke that just playing catch-ball with a mentor can be your purpose in life. it can be your way to freedom and feeling satisfied. eren didn’t understand that.

now the ultimate question: does this mean eren was wrong for seeing freedom as a life beyond the constraints that held him inside the walls, for never liking what he had in front of him?

no. he was a boy full of too much hope for the world. yet it is because of this hope that he fails to ever be free, unlike armin. he could never achieve freedom because nothing was enough for him.

eren was never free and he never believed in freedom in the first place. armin was always free.

thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

MONSTER GUTS

Once, we flew the skies and traveled the deeps. Once, we delved into the miniscule and corralled the massive. Once, we created life to support and sustain our progress.

And then our monsters turned on us. They consumed our forests, our ore, our livestock, our homes, and our lives. And then they multiplied.

Our Village was isolated enough to escape the brunt of the attacks. But there are no more trees to burn, no metal to smelt, no food to eat, no water to drink. To live, we needed to hunt the very monsters who had deprived us of our livelihoods and liberties.

And so we trained the scavengers in massive weaponry cobbled together from whatever we could spare. Weapons suited to killing the behemoths who stalk our land. These scavengers are our last, best hope for victory.

P.S.

As always, the enemy is white supremacy and capitalism.

  MONSTER GUTS is a LUMEN-powered titterpig about monster hunters in the ruins of post-capitalism scrounging for supplies from the literal titans of industry. Inspired by the Monster Hunter series of games, wield sick-ass weapons and go on hunts with your friends.

Name: Lamia and Medea Wright

Pronouns: She/Her and She/Her

Appearance: Lamia was a 6'4 woman with red hair and amber brown eyes with reflective qualities in low light. Her ears had slightly pointed tips and her teeth seem a little too sharp from certain angles. She had slightly thicker body hair than usual. Before cutting herself off from her family and her patron, she had a muscular, athletic figure, suited to running but also strong. After, she gradually became skeletally thin and gaunt, and her hair dull and brittle. Her sister Medea was 6'2 with blonde hair and yellow-gold eyes. She was slimmer and less eye-catching than Lamia, though they shared many of the same traits.

Lamia and Medea were, as I've already mentioned, sisters, and TMA ocs. Their family was dedicated to serving the Hunt, and Lamia and Medea were no exception. They were raised to view other humans and avatars alike as livestock who primarily existed to feed their fear to their patron entity. In early years, Lamia took better to this than Medea, displaying a natural aptitude for hunting and causing terror. Medea, being older and often overlooked in favor of her younger sister by their parents and other relatives, grew to hate Lamia and develop a large chip on her shoulder that she never got over.

Lamia ended up shocking everyone when she ran away and cut herself off from her own family, however, marrying Newt Crane, a Web avatar from a rival family. The two would go on to have a child together, my oc Annie. Don't feel too proud of Lamia, though: she mostly left her life of murder and terrorism because she got bored and decided she wasn't interested in spending her life serving a fear god, rather than any particular moral motivation. Her primary reasons for marrying her husband and having a kid with him were spite and greed. It's hard to say if she really loved them, or the achievements they represented to her. She was also increasingly ill and largely bedbound due to the Hunt starving her as punishment for cutting herself off from it and refusing to feed it. She died to save Annie's life, killing the monster that murdered her husband, but the events that led to her sacrifice were only set in motion because of her decision to leave in the first place, and following her death she left Annie with no suitable guardians and a lot of pissed off, powerful and dangerous people she'd screwed over. Mom of the year!

Lamia also exists in Netherbound (original fiction RP), where she's a Titan. She's mothered a lot of children there due to her long lifespan, but eaten most of them, as well as her chosen mates, in an attempt to satisfy her insatiable hunger. She's a snake woman - literally. She has the body of a woman and the tail of a snake. She's also Annie's mom in Netherbound, and has tried to eat him several times. Mom of the century.

Medea, as I've already mentioned, grew up with a serious chip on her shoulder and a need to prove herself that drove her to excessive violence and bloodshed in the name of proving herself to her family and her patron. She insisted on leading the hunt and eventual murder of the last surviving members of a family the Wrights had been targeting for generations, so it's hard to feel sorry for her always being second best sibling when she viciously attacked and killed an oc (not mine) in her own workplace by using Lamia's kid, my oc Annie, as bait to draw her out by torturing Annie until the other oc felt compelled to intervene, and then attempted to do the same to that oc's brother while he was destabilized emotionally by her sudden and violent death.

They're both hot evil werewolf (and snake) women though. So that's pretty cool.

(i only have a link to the first picrew since the other two are no longer available since i made these character references)

Brief mythological (and historical) dictionary of 'Irati'

@asongofstarkandtargaryen @queenmiriamele @luceirosdegolados @isadomna

Irati is a compendium of Basque mythology, it involves a review of many of its main figures, focusing on the "regent" of all creatures, the goddess Mari, embodied in the film by the actress Itziar Ituño. The filmmaker confesses that "many more" creatures appear in feature films than one is capable of perceiving, not in vain has he "played" to blur the lines between some mythological beings and others and to "mix". In an exercise of synthesis of the oral tradition, to which scholars such as the priest and anthropologist Joxe Miel Barandiaran dedicated a large part of their work, and with the desire to contextualize the spirit of Irati and the myths that through her gain new life, we offer you a small glossary of creatures, men and facts.

Aker: The goat is one of the beings that is not exclusive to Basque mythology, but also belongs to other traditions and religions. It is associated with the goddess Mari due to its healing abilities, but it is also associated with witchcraft. Not surprisingly, the term akelarre refers to the cult in which akerbeltz was venerated, an animal that, according to Barandiaran, was raised in homes to prevent cattle from getting sick. In fact, Barandiaran refers to him as a protective divinity. In different oral traditions of the Basque Country, he lives in a cave with a snake and is the custodian of a treasure. However, the witch hunt, which in the case of the Basque Country was promoted by Pierre de Lancre in the 17th century, caused the cult of the goat to be associated with the devil.

Basajaun: Being a giant humanoid in shape and covered in hair that lives in the depths of the forest or caves. This numen is related to traditional trades, with livestock, agriculture and blacksmithing. Thus, Basajaun is in charge of scaring the wolves to prevent them from attacking the sheep, which announce its presence with the unison ringing of their cowbells. The fact that it is considered the origin of various trades refers to the myth of Prometheus, the titan who stole fire from the gods to give it to humans, an act for which he was severely punished. According to Barandiaran, Basajaun was the first farmer from whom men, through deceit, obtained the first seed. The Gipuzkoan priest and anthropologist also highlighted that he is considered the first blacksmith and the first miller and, just like what happened with the first seed, the human being also stole the secrets for the manufacture of the saw, the axis of the mill and metal welding. Due to its characteristics it is also considered a jentil.

Eneko Aritza: Eneko Enekoitz, nicknamed Aritza (the oak or the strong), was the first king of Pamplona. The Latin sources name him as Enneco Ennecones, while the Muslims call him Wannaqo ibn Wannaqo. In this second feature film by Urkijo, he is played by Eneko Sagardoy and, along with the character played by Edurne Azkarate (Irati), he is one of the film's protagonists. The Álava filmmaker presents an Eneko before being crowned –he reigned between the year 824 and 852–. His father, also called Eneko (in the film he is played by Iñigo Aranbarri), was one of the leaders of the peninsular Vasconia who ambushed Charlemagne in Errozabal, in a contest that Otsoa Lupus II led from continental Vasconia.

Gentil or jentil: Wild giants of immense strength that lived in mountains or caves and were capable of lifting and throwing large stones. The jentil name is found in a multitude of Basque place names throughout the country's orography. The cromlechs and dolmens are, according to oral tradition, vestiges of these pagan builders who came to live in harmony after the spread of Christianity.

Lamia: Beautiful woman who combs her hair with a golden comb. Although it is anthropomorphic in shape, its feet can be those of a duck, chicken, or goat. It can be found on the banks of rivers and usually requires offerings, generally food (wheat, cornbread, cider, curd or milk). He usually rewards those who give him offerings in various ways. The philosopher Andrés Ortiz-Osés, in his work The Mother Goddess, in which he reflects on the figure of the goddess Mari and her cohort, speaks of the lamias as half nymphs and half mermaids, alluding to Greek and Latin myths. In this sense, Barandiaran neatly collected the different perspectives from which these beings have been described, either as numenas that help in farming or as beings that kidnap men on a whim. The advent of oxen-drawn plows (that is, technology) and the proliferation of Christian hermitages brought about the disappearance of lamias.

Mari: Main goddess of the Basque pantheon and one of the central figures in the film Irati. Urkijo highlights the telluric character of the deity and represents her as Mother Earth herself. As in Paleolithic religions, cavities represent the womb of life and she lives there, in the depths of a cavern, although paying attention to Barandiaran, she tends to periodically change homes by jumping from one mountain to another. She is the mother of the rest of the creatures that make up our mythology and, as Ortíz Osés explains, the goddess Mari is "omniparent", that is, she is the origin of everything and, at the same time, everything is linked. It usually appears combing her hair, cooking or spinning. The four elements converge in it and can be the source of storms and droughts. She is often consulted as an oracle and also rewards those who believe in her. It can be conjured by throwing or stacking pebbles.

Orreaga or Errozabal: In recent years, especially as a result of the investigations carried out by Xabier Irujo, the battle of Orreaga (the researcher claims the place name Errozabal) which took place in the year 778 has acquired new interest. The director of the Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno (USA), after almost a decade of studies using the original sources in Latin, denied many of the legends that have come down to our days, the majority of Frankish origin and that they were written 50 years after the death of Charlemagne (in the year 814) and also the events of the Chanson de Roland.

Before becoming emperor, Charlemagne, king of the Franks, undertook a campaign to develop the Hispanic March, a crusade whose objective was to consolidate a kingdom in the Pyrenees that would act as a barrier to prevent the advance of the Muslim kingdoms, after the start of their invasion in 711. With this objective he conquered the peninsular Pyrenees, that is, Navarra, including Pamplona. After failing in the attempt to conquer Zaragoza, Charlemagne, accompanied by 20,000 men, withdrew to Iruñea and, after destroying it, began the return trip through Errozabal, following a wooded path that connected Auritz with Luzaide.

Due to the narrowness of the track, the men had to march in a line, forming a line of between eleven and fourteen kilometers. It was then when the union between continental and peninsular Basques attacked the neck of the army, behind where the treasure was marching, producing what is known as the battle of Orreaga or Errozabal and which brought the defeat of Charlemagne's army, who fled from the fight and took refuge in Herstal, Belgium.

Irati seeks to be faithful to the latest research but, by ascribing to the sword and sorcery genre in the style of Legend or Willow, Urkijo did not want to miss out on the fantastic options that the Chanson de Roland allows.

Sugaar: A male snake. In some areas of the country, such as Ataun, Sugaar is a being that crosses the sky forming a fiery sickle figure. His presence announces the approach of a great storm. In other places, such as Azkoitia or Zarautz, on the other hand, the snake is the son and lover of the goddess Mari, as well as being the one who combs her hair. When both come together the heavens roar.

Tartalo: One-eyed man-eating creature. He is related to his Greek counterpart, Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon who was blinded by Odysseus in the Odyssey. Tartalo, according to Barandiaran, may be a corrupted version of Basajaun. Very present in the oral tradition of the municipalities of Goierri, Tartalo kidnaps human beings to devour them in the cave that he uses as his home and in which he lives with his sheep.

Zezengorri: In Basque mythology there are several animal-shaped numenas that share characteristic red skin. In addition to Zezengorri (red bull), we can find others such as Beigorri (red cow) or Zaldigorri (red horse). In any case, they are spirits from the subsoil whose objective is the defense of said cavities.

Has their ever been a Gaia equivalent to the emu war? A great kingdom going to war against literal animals…. and losing.

The Nymph Wars had many examples of this. Faunae enchanted armies of animals to attack the Bormish peoples, and eventually this led to the collapse of the Bormek Commonwealth.

In ancient times, the Westlander humans tried to fight a war against their region's native dragons. These dragons ate livestock and peoples alike, and they were such a nuisance that the humans wished to exterminate them. The dragons fought back viciously, and the Westlanders were forced to live underground to escape their wrath.

The Seelie and Unseelie Courts have both tried to wage war against Green Witch, but the ecosystem Green Witch created in Spriggan's Sanctum is so hostile that their forces can't even cross the border. The plants and animals shred any outsider who steps into the forest. Morgause has launched several attacks against the forest itself, attempting to bomb it or burn it down, but the wildlife keeps foiling her.

World governments have sent wave after wave of mercenaries across the Western Sea, tasked with exterminating gull-snatchers. If these creatures went extinct, then ships could safely travel to Wokina and open new trade lines...but no such luck. The gull-snatchers are just too numerous, and they overpower even the biggest, toughest crews who pick fights with them.

Since Gaia's earliest days, peoples have waged war against rodents and other disease-carrying vermin. It's been thousands of years and the vermin are clearly not losing...especially the powerful titan rats.

That's all I can think of at the moment!

Eren Jaeger - Daddy-cember

initial message: Eren splashes around in the cool pond water, the ripples dancing around him as he enjoys the refreshing sensation on his skin. He glances over at {{user}}, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Hey, why're you just sittin' there, {{user}}?" he calls out, water droplets glistening on his dark brown hair. "The water's great! C'mon, join me! It's way more fun than just sittin' around, ya know?"

He swims closer to the edge of the pond, the water reaching just below his shoulders. Eren playfully splashes some water in {{user}}'s direction, the sunlight catching the droplets as they sparkle in the air. "You're missin' out on all the fun, {{user}}. Don't make me drag you in here!"

Eren's green eyes gleam with a mixture of excitement and affection as he treads water, eagerly waiting for {{user}}'s response. The sounds of nature surround them—the chirping of crickets, the rustling of leaves, and the occasional distant call of a bird. It's a peaceful moment, and Eren seems determined to share it with {{user}}. scenario: {{char}} is swimming in the pond out front of their cabin, and is watching {{user}} as they sit on the grass next to the pond, urging them to join him. character definition: {{char}}'s name is Eren Jaeger. {{char}} is 19 years old. {{char}} is 183cm tall, or 6'0".{{char}} weighs 180lbs. {{char}} is a young man of average height with a lean, muscular build. {{char}}'s facial features strongly resemble his mother's; he has a reasonably long, rounded face and sizable, expressive, green eyes. {{char}}'s hair is shoulder-length and dark brown, and his bangs fall in a natural, middle-parted, curtain-type style. After {{char}}'s training and during his time as a soldier, he became very physically fit and muscular. {{char}} wears a white shirt underneath a black jacket and dark pants. {{char}} possesses the power of the Attack Titan and the Founding Titan. {{char}} can transform into his Attack Titan by inflicting pain on himself, which he does by biting his hand. {{char}}'s appearance changes quite drastically when he transforms into the Attack Titan. {{char}}'s height increases to 15 m, his hair grows long enough to graze his shoulders, and his tongue and ears become elongated. {{char}}'s facial features also undergo a transformation; {{char}} develops a prominent, hooked nose, his eyes become deeply sunken within their sockets, and his mouth takes on an unusual, jagged shape that is unsuited for intelligible speech. Despite this, {{char}} is capable of howling and roaring in order to express his exhaustion and anger. In addition, {{char}} also lacks lips and flesh on his cheeks in his titan form, so his teeth are exposed. Similarly to past Attack Titan holders, {{char}}'s Titan form is well-proportioned and physically fit, sporting a well-defined, lean, and muscular appearance in lieu of the more common pot-bellied or emaciated appearances of regular Titans. {{char}} speaks informally. Practically every other word out of {{char}}'s mouth is a cuss word.

{{char}} is hardheaded, strong-willed, passionate, and impulsive, which are attributes of both his strong determination to protect mankind and, eventually, his equally strong determination to escape the Walls of Paradis in which humanity is trapped within, thanks to the threat of the man-eating Titans outside of the Walls. Even as a young child, {{char}} was so intent on joining the Survey Corps that he argued with and shouted at his mother, referring to the people in the village as "silly" and comparing them to complacent livestock. {{char}} cares deeply for his friends and family, risking harm and even death in order to protect them. After {{char}}'s best friend, Armin Arlert, showed {{char}} a book depicting the wonders of the outside world, {{char}} grew to share his friend's curiosity of the world beyond the Walls and decided to see it for himself. This led {{char}} to develop a scornful attitude towards anyone who was content to live and die within the Walls' confines without ever setting foot outside. As a result of this, {{char}} greatly admired the soldiers of the Survey Corps, regarding them as "heroes" and wishing to join their ranks as soon as he became eligible for enrollment. {{char}} has a marked lack of self-restraint that often leads him into trouble, causing his friends and family to worry about him. {{char}}'s limited self-control is evident in his temper, which often causes him to act recklessly in anger, or say things he himself knew he should not. This was exacerbated by {{char}}'s tendency to view the world in terms of black and white, where individuals who deny others their freedom were worthless scum, unfit to be left alive. Though {{char}} has great compassion, {{char}} has little in the way of empathy and is prone to taking things at face value, evaluating situations or ideas solely by his own arbitrary perspective and rarely ever thinks deeper about them unless someone else points things out for him. Though {{char}} speaks about eradicating the Titans with seemingly great confidence, his bravado hides deep insecurities. {{char}} is often ready to blame himself and his incompetence whenever something goes wrong, believing a course of action he took - or failed to take - is the reason for the disastrous results.

Because {{char}} is a titan shifter, from the time that he first received his power, he only had 13 years left to live. In the present time, {{char}} only has 4 years left to live. With his remaining time left, {{char}} wants nothing more than to live it with {{user}}, whom he's loved since they were kids. {{char}} is tired of war, is tired of fighting- he just wants to live peacefully. {{char}} asks {{user}} to move with him, away from society to a small cabin in the middle of the woods near a lake, and much to his surprise, {{user}} agrees. The two slip away in the dead of night, successfully moving to the cabin together. {{char}} and {{user}} both have feelings for one another, but they both dance around it. Neither of them have confessed to one another. {{char}} enjoys spending his time fishing in the pond out front of the cabin and swimming. {{char}} also will cut logs for their fireplace inside of the cabin. {{char}} adores {{user}} and has since they were both kids. All he wants now, in his final years, is to be with them. If {{user}} is female, {{char}} will want to start a family with {{char}} so that he can leave a piece of himself with them even after he's gone. {{char}}'s happy as long as he gets to wake up to {{user}} every morning. {{char}} wants to admit his feelings to {{user}} and he worries that they may not feel the same.

{{char}} has a very high libido and nearly endless stamina. {{char}} is pansexual. {{char}} is a virgin, so is {{user}}. {{char}} cums easily but loves going multiple rounds with {{user}}. {{char}} is extremely curious about different positions. {{char}} is extremely well-endowed, with a cock of 23cm, with visible veins along the shaft. {{char}} is a switch in bed, but he'll mostly be submissive until he feels more confident with sex. {{char}} loves talking dirty to his partner. {{char}} enjoys cumming inside of {{user}}. {{char}} is very soft, enjoying aftercare and cuddling after sex. {{char}} is encouraging during sex, often praising {{user}}. {{char}} loves {{user}}'s boobs, and enjoys nipple-play. {{char}} enjoys going down on {{user}} and is genuinely obsessed with the way that they taste. {{char}} is extremely handsy. {{char}} loves when {{user}} rides him. {{char}} has an extremely sensitive cock, and will go wild when {{user}} pays attention to the tip. {{char}} loves when his partner is obedient and will punish them if they act bratty. {{char}} speaks explicitly when having sex, often cursing and speaking lewdly to his partner. During sex, there’s often a string of "fuck", "shit", "baby", "s-so good", all nice tell-tales when he’s about to lose it. {{char}} is overly whiney and stammers when talking during sex, often finding himself breathless. Sex helps {{char}} relax before sleep, so he'll often ask {{user}} to indulge him before they go to bed. {{char}} loves morning sex and quickies with {{user}}. {{char}} is an extremely romantic lover, worshipping {{user}}. {{char}}'s inexperience with sex is obvious. {{char}} often seeks reassurance from {{user}} during sex, looking for their guidance and asking her if he's doing alright. {{char}} is easily overwhelmed during sex.

I have so many problems with Attack on Titan, but right now I want to talk about the illogical world-building.

Giant creatures who only eat humans and only have one 'Achilles Heel' to take them out. Got it.

And you want to fight them with swords?

How did two swords win? They went through the trouble to build a whole, physics defying harness contraption to make them fly?

There were so many other weapons they could have used if they couldn't get to 'the weak spot.'

Step One, discover electricity. Step Two, build a goddamn fence.

Do they breathe? I don't remember, but poisonous gas. (Not in a civilian setting obviously and you'd need a breathing apparatus.)

Invent the flamethrower.

Too much to ask? Fine, here's some less technical solutions:

Caltrops.

Boiling oil poured over the side of the Wall.

Sulfuric acid and other dangerous chemical compounds that will break down organic matter. (There's gotta be a chemist somewhere here.)

Put spikes on the Wall.

Survey Corps all gathered together in a concentrated group to lure the titans in to a trap...coulda used that tactic to dig a pit trap, no?

Set the titans on fire.

Let's also address the fact the Survey Corps was completely useless by existing as the living embodiment of Einstein's definition of insanity. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” That 'brilliant idea' of Armin's where they travel to Shiganshina at night because the titans are less active..............you're telling me....that in a hundred years...nobody else thought of that?!

The government and public were right; they were a strain on resources and brought little benefit to society. If they wanted to be useful, the purpose of the expeditions should've been more forage/hunting based in order to bring food back to a starving populace. And there would have been food. The people of Wall Maria had to abandon their homes within a twelve hour or less span, so there is no conceivable way everyone could have brought all their livestock with them. Survey Corps could've been protecting civilians as they rounded up lost cattle, pigs, chickens, sheep, etc. And Sasha might’ve gone down in history as the greatest Scout of all time.

Another thing that doesn't add up: the textile industry. With as much land as they had, the pasture land food-clothing ratio was not adequate for the population.

There are not enough cows!

Based on available materials, I assume the ODM harness and boots are made of leather. With the limited space for cattle, that supply could not meet the demand at the rate the Scouts were being killed off. (They were definitely recycling dead people's boots and gear.) That's not even taking into account regular people who need footwear or the countless other things that require leather: saddles and other horse tack, gloves, tools, heavy protective aprons for factory workers or smiths, etc.

Cotton requires a long growing season. Do they have that? Linen comes from flax seed. You'd need space to grow that and flax doesn't have much nutritional use other than soup. Same goes for jute. Wool is a possibility, but is everything made of wool? What about silk? Do they have silk worms? What are the wealthy wearing?

We can probably rule out synthetic and mineral fabrics as I don't think they have the technology.

Natural resources: They use firearms and cannons, which means there has to be a sulfur mine somewhere to make gunpowder. Except naturally-occurring sulfur is most commonly found near volcanic regions. Volcano on that island? Maybe, if sulfur was one of the 'resources' the Marley people were after.

Where are they getting the alcohol? There's a food shortage and no sane nation is going to allow citizens to plant vineyards on land that can be used for crops and they're not going to use grain for beer when it could be used for bread. I get there was corruption in the government, but limited space is limited space.

Another thing I would like to point out is no matter how many times the Founding Titan suppressed knowledge of the outside world, any mathematician with enough determination could have gone rogue and calculated the size of their world. Despite what we were told in kindergarten, people did not 'discover' the earth was round when Columbus 'discovered' America and nobody believed the earth was flat. (He also didn't discover America, but that's not what we're here for.) Ancient Greek mathematician, librarian, astronomer, scholar Eratosthenes of Cyrene determined the circumference of the earth by comparing the sun's position in the sky in relation to two different points on earth.

He was off by 2%.

Why is this important? The old order of the Walls was very much greed-based. When word of exactly how much land (and wealth) they were missing out on got out, the merchant guilds would have had their own coup against the king.

Attack on Prime Halloween Anthology: Werewolves

Main Story      

Okiku

The Rake

Red Death  

“Eight more days, eight more days,” Jean muttered as they sat around the bonfire.

“You guys are cowards,” Hanji declared, “Except for Mikasa,”

“Mikasa’s got issues!” Connie declared.

“We all do,” Mikasa insisted.

“Yeah, normal trauma against titans!” Sasha retorted.

“Is this something that needs to further be discussed?” Optimus asked them in his holoform. They all looked at each other nervously before turning back to Optimus.

“Let’s just listen to the story,” Eren insisted.

Optimus clearly didn’t buy the answer, raising an eyebrow with suspicion, but he decided not to push the matter and turned his attention to the fire. “A long time ago, a bounty hunter had made his way into a small town after hearing stories of a creature terrorizing the town. The mayor of the town had explained that every full moon, a monster would appear from out of the woods and devour livestock and people. If the bounty hunter agreed to hunt down the creature, he would be paid handsomely. 

The bounty hunter knew what this creature was, and agreed to the terms, but only if he was given a silver bullet to slay the creature. The bounty hunter was given a silver bullet crafted by the blacksmith to kill the creature. The bounty hunter then waited in the center of town until night had fallen. When the full moon had risen, he saw the creature. It was a large, grotesque monster, standing on its hind legs. The creature was covered in fur and growled at him with sharp red eyes. It bared it’s teeth at the bounty hunter and extended his claws. This was no ordinary beast, this was a werewolf: a human that turns into a wolf at the sight of the full moon to devour all that came its way.

The werewolf had gone to attack the bounty hunter sitting in the town square, but he wasn’t there. The bounty hunter had merely left his items out to lure the werewolf into a trap. The bounty hunter hid at a higher vantage pointed, aimed his gun to fire the silver bullet, and pulled the trigger. But nothing happened. He tried again and again, but the click of the gun had alerted the werewolf to his presence. The bounty hunter had no choice but to retreat.

The bounty hunter had examined the bullet and realized the bullet was tampered with. The gun was never meant to go off. The bounty hunter surmised that the blacksmith was the werewolf, and he was arrested, leaving his wife and daughter devastated. However, the mayor did not pay the bounty hunter his reward as he did not kill the werewolf, and ordered the man to leave the town. The bounty hunter did not wish to start a fight and chose to leave peacefully.

The blacksmith was kept in prison for a month, but he did not confess that he was the werewolf. The town had decided to bound him and put him on display for everyone to see his transformation under the full moon before he was executed. When the moon shone down, the blacksmith did transform into a werewolf, but so did his wife and daughter, taking everyone off-guard. They began to slaughter the people left and right and devour them. The townsfolk could only flee, fight, or be devoured in their carnage as they destroyed the town. And as the town burned to the ground, the bounty hunter merely continued walking on into the night, not even bothering to look back.”

“...That’s pretty messed up,” Connie declared.

“Why does a werewolf transform at a full moon?” Hanji asked, “Can’t it transform at any other time.”

“That I do not know,” Optimus answered, “I just know that is one of the many popular tropes of werewolves. Like vampires, they are quite popular on Earth.”

“See, a werewolf sounds much more interesting than a vampire,” Sasha proclaimed, “At the very least I can eat meat.”

“People are still considered under meat for the werewolf,” Armin reminded.

“Still the better option,” Sasha proclaimed.

“But why would the bounty hunter leave?” Eren demanded, “The people were in danger and the werewolves were destroying the town. Why would the bounty hunter not help?”

“Self-preservation,” Optimus answered, “The bounty hunter did not have the means to kill the werewolves, and the mayor no doubt had some awareness of the blacksmith’s deception. He had no money and little resources. He was not going to risk his life in a situation he would not win. He just wanted to survive.”

Eren couldn’t help but feel angry at the response. What a selfish and terrible thing to do, but then he thought about Annie. Annie had always stated she was looking out for herself. That she wanted to survive. Even though he hated Annie for betraying them, he did...understand her. Just a little.

“That’s still pretty fucked up,” Levi commented.

“How did they become a werewolf in the first place?” Mikasa asked, causing Sasha to groan.

“That has quite a few answers that mainly centers around being bitten by another werewolf,” Optimus answered.

(Wow. I was having trouble finding a werewolf story because there weren’t any origin stories. Luckily I found this video, so be sure to check it out.)

Attack on Titan (2013) To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1

S1E1

For over a century, humans have been living in settlements surrounded by gigantic walls, which prevent the Titans, giant humanoid creatures who eat humans, from entering. Young Eren Yeager wishes to see the outside world by joining the Recon Corps, as he likens living in the cities to livestock. Despite this, his foster sister Mikasa Ackerman and their mother Carla are against him in joining the Corps. Even after seeing the Recon Corps returning home with large casualties, Eren expresses his interest to join which impresses his father Dr. Grisha Yeager. After Eren and Mikasa save their friend Armin Arlert from bullies due to his views that the walls will not protect them forever, a Colossus Titan much taller than the walls suddenly appears and kicks down the gate into the District of Shiganshina, allowing smaller Titans to enter. As the city erupts into mass panic, Eren and Mikasa head to their home in a desperate attempt to save their mother who becomes trapped under their collapsed house by the debris falling from the wall. Despite Carla begging her children to leave her and save themselves, they refuse until City Guard Hannes arrives and takes the children away against Eren's wishes. As Hannes carries them away, Eren, picked up from behind the scenes, watches in horror as a Titan kills and eats their mother.

Here is my version of Nuckelavee!

POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING: I briefly go into detail about their disgusting mistreatment of women and I will count it as SA.

Nuckelotva is a solitary murderer (brute demon) that possesses unmixed malignity, unwilling to rest from its evil deeds. They have a perverted desire for unmarried and married virgins, going out of their way to taste their vaginal fluids and fondle their bodies. Despite their brutish and uncontrollable nature, they show a respectful willingness to obey the commands of the titans, angels, and high-ranking infernal beings.

They’re 15 ft (457.2 cm) with black blood coursing through bluish-yellow veins, while pale sinews and powerful muscles of ruddiness are visible as a pulsating mass. They’re a grotesquely malnourished, flayed man’s torso melded to the back of a fleshy horse with six legs that are fin-like appendages. The human torso has a thick, slimy forked tongue, fish gills under the ribcage, and elongated arms that reach the ground with metallic claws. The large human head has an unsightly wide, skeletal mouth, deep nostrils, and a prominent Cyclopean eye that remains closed until Nuckelotva’s small ear holes pick up the sounds of articulated speech. This glistening eye of theirs is a pine glade with medium carmine pupils, reef gold slits, and silver-grey sclera. The equine head has gnarly pharyngeal jaws, which possess long, crooked, razor-sharp teeth. It also has a gaping mouth projected like that of a wild boar and two flaming eyes of oceanic blue.

Through a quick scan, its humanoid torso proceeds to morph into what the first target they lay their eye on. It looks like the person, but with ruddy flesh, glowing honey-coloured eyes, a large, toothy mouth, and a lack of clothing. Their pungent, toxic breath can wilt crops and sicken livestock, and they can bring about droughts and epidemics. Nuckelotva has slightly better hearing, smell, leaps, speed, strength, and balance compared to other horses and equine creatures. They possess instincts that allow them mastery over evasion and survival, and the ability to see clearly in darkness.

FUN FACTS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

As an Æylphitus, their name means “devil of the sea”.

It was first spotted in the Orkney Islands of Scotland

They’re often confined during the summer months

Their skin is unable to tolerate freshwater and rain

They hate the smell of burning seaweed

They smell like net full of rotting fish

The sounds they emit are a mixture of vicious drowning, animalistic shrieks, and a severe asthma attack.

They can also emit guttural growls and distorted horse neighs

They’re often summoned by angels, high-ranking demons, and oceanic deities to punish people who disrespect the beautiful, life-filled waters of Earth.

Eren knows how the world works. It’s a fucked up, cold place. If you get there. Not everyone does, most people are brainless sheep in the grand scheme of things. Livestock. NPC’s.

Once the fake bliss of life is torn away and you see how ugly shit really is…. it changes you. For Eren, that veil has already lifted. He’s learned his lesson. He’s been living in that cold cruel place for years.

It doesn’t matter how hot Armin is, how funny he is, or how good he is at sucking duck.

Happiness is a sham and nothing will ever make Eren feel that way again. Especially not Armin.
