Z-King: Raf showing Hange the improvements on the 3D Gear. Raf: And that's how you can integrate Cybertronian tech into your gear. Hange:😐. Raf:🤨 Hange then grabs ahold of the boy in a huge hug. Hange: It is official. I'm adopting you! Raf:😓 Uh...but I'm not an orphan. Hange: Don't care, I'm keeping you!

Jack, Miko, and Raf in AOP

"Hanji, give him back!" Jack shouted at her.

"He's too sweet!" Hanji whined.

"We fear his mom more than Levi! Give him back!" Miko shouted at her.

"Can I at least get some snacks?" Raf asked Hanji.

Jack shoots Hanji with a tranq gun.

Some additional thoughts on this topic:

-Once Jack, Miko, and Raf hear about the island devils rhetoric and what not, they give each other a look and question if they should say something about the whole "Unicron" bit.

"I already face enough discrimination with my family back on Earth," Raf reminded, "I don't need that here."

"And the internment zone are reminding me of Japanese interment zones during World War II," Miko added.

"I just feel guilty being here with you two," Jack lamented.

"As you should," they both told him.

Two:

Jack, Miko, and Raf hear about Kenny and are a little confused.

"You mean Jack the Ripper," Raf corrected.

"No, Kenny the Ripper," Levi explained, "He slit the throats of over 100 MP's."

"Oh shit, Jack the Ripper killed 5 people and they were prostitutes," Miko commented.

Kenny almost outs himself right then and there because he has standards and doesn't target prostitutes! Kuchel would've killed him for it.

Three:

The three kids end up introducing the Survey Corps to music. Miko is bummed she doesn't have her electric guitar, but she does have acoustic so she can work with that. Not that much amp and fire though. Jack and Raf think it's for the best. But the Survey Corps fall in love with what they have to offer.

Four:

Jack, Miko, and Raf don't like the Marleyans at all. They think they're racist pieces of shit, but agree to not engage. However, one comment becomes too many, especially when insulting friends and...

“And what? You’re going to stop us by yourself?” the soldier mocked.

“Not me,” Jack answered as he set the time, “Miko!”

Miko stopped as she was about to take a bite of an apple. She raised her head and turned to Jack.

“You have five minutes!” Jack told her as he showed his phone, “No guns! No tasers! Have fun!”

Miko smiled wickedly as she threw the apple to Sasha, who caught it.

“Raf, play me my music!” Miko yelled as she took off her jacket and threw it behind her.

“Her music?” Armin asked Rafael as her jacket hit Jean in the face.

Rafael pressed play on his laptop and a loud, fast-tempo melody boomed through the speakers.

“I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation!”

Miko punched the first soldier in the face, knocking him out cold. Miko screamed at the top of her lungs before tackling a second one to the ground.

“Oh my God!” Hanji exclaimed as other soldiers tried to pry Miko off of him.

“Shouldn’t we do something?!” Jean exclaimed.

“She’ll be fine,” Jack said nonchalantly as he stared at the watch.

“The whore bit me!” one shouted, only to be kicked in the face by Miko.

She takes out 20 soldiers. One of whom she kicks in the crotch, and the other she hits in the back of the head with a chair. The only reason she even wins is because she's had more training, and Marleyan soldiers have become quite arrogant and don't have the same training regiment Earth has. The Eldian soldiers would definitely be stronger than the Marleyans.

Reiner Braun Soulmate AU

- Soulmate AU (childhood friends to lovers. afab!reader. The entire chapter is flashbacks. Soft!Reiner. Depressed!Reiner. Clueless Children.)

cw: Season Four Spoilers (specifically episode 3 : The Door of Hope)

If we wanna make it back, this is our only hope. Once our mission is done. We can go home. I can go home and be with (y/n).

The small alleyway between the buildings was humid, the heat from the cement rolling off in waves. (y/n) pulled the sleeves of her sweater down as she waited for someone to turn up along with her. The meeting was over, the girl having ran out to get to the designated meeting spot.

They had to be talking a bit while everyone gathered their things. Lots of congratulations going around and good lucks. She would catch up with her dad for sure. But for now she was waiting for someone to talk with them one last time.

And she beamed when she saw him casually walk through the alley, trying not to dirty his uniform from whatever dirty could be on the side of the buildings.

"Hi." (y/n) smiled, hands clenching onto something.

"Hi, (n/n)." Reiner smiled, scratching the back of his head in a shy manner. He suddenly looked down at her, his eyes taking a sad look and smile turning into a sad one with them.

"I leave tomorrow." (y/n)'s lips frowned, but quickly tried to cover it.

"I know." She answered him. "Please be careful!"

Reiner stumbled back a bit as (y/n) drove her body forward, arms wrapping around the boy's middle. He sadly smiled, pulling an arm around her as the other landed on her head.

"I'll try to be." He whispered.

"Besides, I have something to come back to anyways!" He exclaimed, pulling her at arms length to look at her. She had tears but suddenly smiled up at him.

"Yeah! You have to come back! So we can get married and live together!"

"Of course! I'm going to get us a big house! So mom can live with us too!" Reiner told her equally enthusiastic.

(y/n)'s hand clenched onto the item it held, her mind suddenly remembering about it.

"Oh, I got this for you!" She pulled on a chain, a ring hanging on the string. "Made sure to put it on a necklace so you don't loose it!"

Reiner looked at the gift with wide eyes, hand slowly reaching out to touch the dangling jewelry.

"You didn't have to." He said with a soft smile. He gingerly touched the necklace, the girl letting go as the ring fell into his palm.

"I wanted to." (y/n) smiled. "Now we can match."

The girl giggled, pulling the chain she had bought to put the ring Reiner gave her on. As she moved to display the two rings together, her shoulders sagged and her smile fell into a sad one.

"You're my best friend, Reiner." She said somberly. "And I want you to come back."

Reiner's eyes twinkled as (y/n) looked up at him. He gave her a small smile back, gripping tightly onto the ring her got.

"You're mine too." He spoke. "Don't tell Bertolt, though."

"I'll see you at the docks tomorrow, okay. I'll be sure to wave you off!" (y/n) giggled, the boys cheeks flushing.

"I'd like that."

There was a small pause, (y/n) looking up at Reiner as she tried to come up with what to say. Instead though, she quickly leaned forward, her lips touching Reiner's in a fast paced manner. Reiner's face suddenly went hot, the boy not reacting to the kiss on time and just freezing as he was stunned.

"I love you, Reiner." She told him softly, the statement causing the boy to come back to Earth.

"I love you too, (y/n)."

And just as she had told him, she waved at him. Her hand raised high as she stood on another dock, away from the Eldians telling the warriors goodbye. Reiner gave a small smile, hand waving back as he saw her looking frantic to make sure he saw her.

****

She finished off the letter with another small heart, her name placed off to the side as she read over what she wrote. It talked about her day; talked about how much she remembers of Reiner and how she realized her feelings for him.

She sighed, folding the paper neatly and placing it inside an envelope. Her door opened, footsteps pounding as a little girl giggled as she looked around her older sister's room. She peaked her head over the desk, eyes glancing over all the papers that had neat calligraphy.

"What are you writing, sissy?" Her 5 year old sister asked, trying to get on her toes to look closer.

"A letter, (s/n)." (y/n) answered, sealing the envelope up with wax and reaching over to place them in a box on her desk. Her fingers rolled through all the other letters, three years worth.

"To a boy!?" (y/n) laughed, as another one of her sisters walked up to her, the girl a bit taller at the age of 8.

"Yes, to a boy."

"Who's Reiner?"

"(B/n)! Why are you snooping!?" (y/n) panicked, hearing the 12 year-olds deeper voice. He had a messed up letter in his hand, the name at the top still clear though.

"Isn't that the name of that one Eldian boy who father said got the armored titan?"

"It's none of your business." (y/n) scold, snatching the paper out of his hand and crumbling it back up to place back in the trash.

"Are you writing him love letters? Isn't he on the island of devils right now?" The two younger girls watched as their older siblings argued with wide eyes.

"Don't touch my things." (y/n) sneered.

"I would stop while you're ahead of yourself. Father would never let you be with an Eldian boy. A titan shifter no less." (B/n) said in an uptight matter, the boy folding his arms over one another.

"Don't tell anyone." (y/n) said in a threatening tone.

"I don't need to entertain myself with girlish things. I have more important things to do than play with emotions."

"Like what? You're just a 12 year-old boy."(S/n) spoke, a finger to her chin in thought.

"I shall have you know, father has started educating me to be part of the Maryleyan army! He says he's going to get me into the high positions once I come of age!" (b/n) mocked.

"There's no benefit in that." (y/n) deadpanned to her brother.

"Wrong!" He retorted. "I get to help my country."

"The same one who treats its people like trash." (y/n) whispered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, (b/n)." She said, moving around her room to gather some of the mess left laying around. "Go back to your war strategies. I'm busy."

She sat down at her desk, moving back to pick up all her stationary things and place them in their designated areas.

"I'm being serious, (y/n)." (b/n) told her, his tone going down. "If your boy does come back and father somehow lets you be with him."

"He only has so long left to live. It's been 6 years. He's reaching the half point of his life."

The boys footsteps bounced off the walls as he walked out of his sister's room, the girl giggling to themselves as they went to play in the room. The teen's shoulders sagged, glancing at all the notes she had. It was a subconscious thing, moving to rub at her pinky with the skin marked.

She swallowed, picturing what Reiner could possibly be going through at the moment. It had been three years, she knew trying to get the founding titan was going to take a while, but what if there was a slim chance of him not coming back.

No, she told herself. After all she would know if he was gone or not.

****

"Good day cadets. My name is (y/n) (l/n). I am going to be your new advisor." The girl told the new class of Warrior candidates. "I will be the one making sure you are all in top shape for being a warrior candidate. If I see you have failed to meet certain requirements, I will be forced to eliminate you from the list."

"With that being said, if you wish to inherit a titan, my advice to you: Work your ass off."

The cadets, who ranged from the ages of 6 to 12, all gave the girl a bow. Commander Magath stood off to the side, making sure the young girl wouldn't do anything he didn't like. She tried much too hard to get into this position; her father clearly having a hand in getting it for her.

She was the youngest applicant, but she had been exposed and educated since a young age. While she didn't have any field experience, she had knowledge of everything. So she was the most capable candidate. That didn't stop Magath in thinking it odd that she was the only female to want the position.

(y/n) went over the list of the candidates that were left over since they started the program once more. The old advisor had retired leaving the spot open; and (y/n) was quick to apply to it. Well, quick to beg her father for help in securing the position. The age limit was 18, and she was only 16. She had to prove she was smarter than the others, but she wasn't going to stop at nothing to get the position. Her one goal in mind was to reach a spot where she could be with Reiner. It was a selfish reason but it was her reason.

She had asked the kids to pair up and spar, trying to make out the skills that each one currently had. It was her way of weeding out those who had a chance of progressing and who didn't. She caught a name, standing in front of the girl who was trying to keep up with a bigger boy.

She was panting-sweating- but she didn't seem to stop throwing punches at the boy. He was getting annoyed with the little girl, his face twisting into one of irritation. (y/n) watched as he was about to strike her one more time, but the little girl moved and tackled the boy to the ground; a growl coming from her mouth.

"Gabi Braun." She looked up, getting off the boy who was angrily huffing on the ground. The 8 year old girl stood at attention, saluting the older girl who called for her.

"Why are you here?" (y/n) asked, her body language trying to make her look intimidating. She couldn't be soft; someone would be onto her if she was.

"I'm here to be the next holder of the Armored Titan!" The girl shouted.

(y/n)'s mouth twitched, trying her best to not show her emotions to them.

"The Armored Titan? Why that one?"

"Because my cousin is currently the one who has it! And I want to be just like him."

(y/n)'s shoulders dropped, but her expression stayed the same. She looked at the girl with an emotionless face, left hand clenching as a way to keep her anger down.

It's how they do things. One of these kids are gonna take it anyways. Why make a big deal if it was another Braun? It is a big deal. She was going to give up Reiner much quicker. He had a shorter life because they had to give the titan to someone else before he died.

That was if he made it back.

"Is that so?" (y/n) spoke to Gabi. She looked around watching as the boy Gabi was gone and it was just them two in that area.

"I think the Cart Titan is pretty cool. The Jaw Titan is also very useful as well."

"You think titans are cool?" Gabi asked in astonishment, eyes twinkling up at the girl.

"Of course. They help Marley fight off the bad guys." She told the girl. "Also it would be pretty cool to have their powers."

"It's very cool!" Gabi exclaimed.

"Why didn't you get a titan?" She asked in an innocent manner.

"Because she's not Eldian." The girls turned to the voice who spoke, a much taller boy with slicked back hair walking up to them.

Gabi frowned her eyebrows, looking back at (y/n). The woman had her head tilted away, but her lips were pulled into a frown.

"You're Marleyan?" Gabi asked, questioning what Porco had told them.

"I am." (y/n) answered. "I wouldn't be in this position if I wasn't."

Porco glared down at the girl, but she didn't pay him any mind; having gotten used to his temperament.

"Well, I'll try to make it for you! I'll try to get the titan!"

"Good luck to you, then, Braun." (y/n) gave her a closed eyed smile. "I'm sure you can do it."

(y/n) began to walk away from the girl, going back to watching over the other kids. Porco walked behind her, hands in his pockets.

"Why are you here, (y/n)?"

(y/n) didn't turn, instead looking at her clipboard to look at names and faces of the candidates.

"To help my country." Porco snorted.

"You really think I'm going to believe that? What a load of bullshit."

(y/n) abruptly stopped, turning to face Porco with a glare.

"What's it matter if it is a load of bullshit?" She asked him. The boy only started down at her.

"Your opinion in invalid to me." She twisted on her heel but Porco spoke once more.

"I know." He said. "About you and Reiner."

(y/n) suddenly turned back around and gripped onto the boy's arm, dragging him away from the field and towards a more secluded spot.

"Don't go talking out your ass, Galliard." (y/n) glared. "I can remind you, you're still in the unit. One word from me and you're out."

"As if you have that power. You might have it over the younger ones but I'm the one who trains them. They need me to mold their little heads."

"You really think Reiner would want to be with a Marleyan? After what his father did?" Porco glared. "Even if he did, no one would allow you to be with him. You're a princess; Reiner is just the peasant."

"What do you know?"

L'Oppression de l'Empire Eldien face à la propagande Mahr

En général, quand je parle de l'oppression eldienne de jadis que les Mahr utilisent comme justification pour leurs actes actuels, je prends toujours garde à utiliser des termes comme ''prétendument'', ''probablement'', ''potentiellement'' ou ''possiblement''. Non pas parce que je suis assez naïve pour penser une seule seconde que les eldiens de l'époque étaient de pauvres victimes innocentes mais bien car tout les récits que nous avons de l'époque viennent de la propagande Mahr, ce qui me pousse à prendre cette déclaration avec beaucoup de pincettes.

Je l'ai déjà expliqué dans un post précédent mais, pour moi, cette idée d'Eldia comme force oppressive est à prendre de façon réaliste mais très circonstancielle. Ce n'était pas la même chose à toutes les époques et devaient répondre à des évolutions économique, politique et idéologique. De même, je doute que ça ait été le monde entier en même temps mais plus probablement certaines régions de temps à autres, au gré des rebellions, luttes de pouvoir, extensions territoriales ou tensions diverses et variées surtout aux lieux (comme les frontières) intéressant personnellement les Fritz.

Certaines nations ont sans aucun doute été annexées de force, que ce soit par la guerre, le sabotage ou l'exploitation du manque d'éducation. Peut-être était-ce même là la politique d'action majoritaire. Mais peut-être que ce n'était pas le cas, peut-être que certaines ont rejoints de leur plein grés pour obtenir une stabilité économique, un soutien politique, un enrichissement culturel, une amélioration technologique... etc.

Au final, le manga ne nous le dit pas. Personnellement, je crois que c'était les deux à la fois selon la nation visée et les circonstances derrière l'annexion. Je pense aussi que, quand c'était possible, les eldiens d'autrefois ont procédés à des annexions pacifiques. Ou plutôt, j'ai beaucoup de mal à imaginer une sorte d'empire maléfique qui userait de destruction comme premier recours et s'en délecterait.

Parce que, quand on y réfléchit, c'est complètement stupide.

Non pas par égard pour leurs voisins qui étaient certainement vu comme des ''sous-citoyens'' comparés aux eldiens dit ''Purs'' (à ne pas confondre avec le Peuple d'Ymir bien que j'en parle plus bas), ce qui fait que le sort de leur peuple doit désormais paraître délicieusement ironique pour les autres nations, mais pace qu'une guerre coûte cher en argent, en hommes et en ressources matérielles en plus de détruire le territoire adverse et compliquant son exploitation ultérieure. Surtout avec la nécessité de déployer des forces militaires sur une longue période de temps pour favoriser l'assimilation culturelle, la pacification de la population (ou, avec de moins jolis mots : empêcher toute organisation rebelle de voir le jour) et la redéfinition des nouvelles frontières. Pas quelque chose que l'on voudrait faire à la légère, donc... encore moins de façons répétées et systématiques.

Cela n'excuse rien. Et cela ne le fera jamais. Car, toujours en prenant ce point de vu plus réaliste, il est indéniable que l'empire Eldien n'a pas survécu aussi longtemps en hésitant à recourir à la force et puisqu'ils prennent leurs racines tant chéries (avec Ymir) dans l'esclavagisme, à la fois pour des raisons culturelle et économique, je ne serais pas surprise d'apprendre que celui-ci était toujours pratiqué dans leur société. Bien que ce ne soit qu'une possibilité. Mais, pour citer Kruger, si des purges ethniques implacables avait été menés par les anciens eldiens pendant près de 1 800 ans, il ne resterait plus la moindre trace d'un autre peuple qu'eux.

Et c'est sans parler de la façon dont les nobles eldiens ne peuvent être contrôler par l'Originel, sous-entendant l'existence possible d'une caste eldienne supérieure (il est mentionné qu'ils étaient déjà nobles à l'époque où Karl Reiss, ne pouvant effacer leur mémoire, leur a octroyer des avantages supplémentaires contre leur silence) qui était eldienne sans faire partie du peuple d'Ymir (qui était donc une minorité - sociale ou chiffrée - d'une minorité... wow !) et qu'ils nommaient si charitablement ''sang d'esclave'', complexifiant davantage encore une situation déjà très incertaine.

EDIT : En fait, il semble que le manga confirme ce que je pensais n'être qu'une hypothèse hasardeuse de ma part. Comme quoi la relecture est toujours utile :

C'est au chapitre 89 page 26 pour les curieux.

Un autre point que j'aimerais faire remarquer, c'est l'usage du mot ''frange'' dans cette traduction. Je ne sais pas si c'est pour le style ou non-intentionnel mais, dans la langue française, je tiens à rappeler que ce mot désigne ''une minorité d'une population plus ou moins marginalisée''.

Donc oui, à coup sûr, la situation est beaucoup plus compliqué que ''les eldiens ont jadis asservit le monde et maintenant, le monde se venge''. D'autant qu'avec tout au plus 9 Primordiaux et la nécessité de la présence de l'Originel pour user des Purs au combat, j'aimerais bien voir comment le Peuple d'Ymir a pu remporter la victoire guerrière (s'ils l'ont fait) sur des peuples usant de montures de guerres comme des éléphants. A méditer...

Voilà pourquoi je pense que cette oppression existait certainement (parce que c'est dans la nature humaine de vouloir marcher sur autrui pour se sentir supérieur) mais pas au niveau génocidaire que les Mahr le prétendent... et ont plus tard adopté eux-mêmes tout en refusant de reconnaître leur hypocrisie à ce sujet.

#Shingeki no Kyôjin #Attack on Titan #SnK #AOT #Eldia #Empire Eldien #Sujets/Peuple d'Ymir #Mahr #La propagande n'est jamais la réalité.#Isayama nous présente un monde réaliste dans son manga et c'est donc comme ça que je le prendrais avec toute la complexité qui va avec.
