How do you feel about people calling Hanges sacrifice a suicide? They quite literally wanted to live but had a responsibility to carry the scouts forward.
i think it’s just about the most moronic, insipid, dumbass take in the entire fandom, which is saying something.
or i guess every time Hange appeared the people who believe this went to sleep or something.
i give my full thoughts here, but i’ll expand on them.
the idea Hange took the opportunity to commit suicide is SO diametrically opposed to their character in every way. Hange is a SCOUT: they put aside any fear of death or desire for family, a career, or a normal life in general in pursuit of living freely; they not only are willing to face the terror of the Titans but revel in learning about them, and by extension understanding the world around them. if there's ANYTHING which defines a scout—like Hange says also—it's their unyielding desire for a better understanding. in a cruel world such as Hange lives in, this is unfathomably brave.
first, their sense of duty, their responsibility, is heightened tenfold when they become commander. Erwin, who they admired deeply, is who they have to replace, and clearly, the person they consider their closest friend Levi (which is canon) believes in their leadership more than COMMANDER ERWIN. that's a lot of pressure.
((from their perspective, that is. it's unknown whether Levi ever told them his true feelings, but even if he did, they would know Levi believed Erwin was the only one who could help the Scouts save humanity. so it's lose-lose. actually that's worse.))
Hange felt so fucking guilty after the four years. it's clear how tired they were. after the Liberio battle, they felt that Erwin's choice to choose them as his successor was his one and only mistake, that it's their fault the Rumbling got as far as it did; they tell the alliance several times that it's unfair to drag them all into this, and they ask whether they're sure about it because of how the world might see Eldians when it's all over.
it's SO unreasonable for them to do, but their guilt overpowers.
one out of several reasons being, they had to dismiss Flegel and Peaure, when during the uprising arc, Hange was the one who pushed so damn hard for them to fight for the truth, and their own family. suddenly Hange can't tell the truth about where Eren is imprisoned and all of that.
Tumblr media
now!! this argument between Hange and Flegel is THE EXACT MIRROR of the argument between Hange, Mikasa, and Jean when they all reunite after the rumbling starts. Jean similar to Flegel is arguing that Paradis will be spared, the Rumbling will give them protection for decades after, and it's the definitive way to guarantee their safety.
"a life as a mouse can still be a hard-fought one."
Hange concedes that they don't have the right to force them to fight, but genocide is wrong, and they won't be convinced otherwise. they admit that they're all here because their idealism was a weakness, and that they're a hypocrite because they wanted to run away with Levi, but they still have that responsibility to their comrades to make their sacrifices worth it.
Tumblr media
Hange is wrong about their idealism being weak, and what right they have to ask for the others to fight, but it's their guilt. their weakness now is tangible, but their resolve is just as strong. they know, and believe, in their duty. there is absolutely no amount of hopelessness that could break that determination.
how, both knowing the earnestness of their character and the symbolism of the ghosts appearing here, would they lie or embellish here because they're actually suicidal? they want to stay alive and fight for all their sakes.
Tumblr media
when the ghosts appeared to Erwin, he was pouring his heart out to Levi, and it's the same here. in fact their are many similarities between them, Erwin who "committed suicide", which is an erroneous take too, and Hange.
they both felt guilty for their actions and lack of action (the differences in their actions aside). Erwin tells Levi that at times he thought death would be easier, but he didn't want to die; he still fights for his dream. it's most likely been the same for Hange at this point.
he would go on to voluntarily die on Levi's order, and be the first to fall among a hundred new recruits. i mean the meaning can't be lost on anyone right? he pays for his sins with his life, and redeems himself with his death the same way every veteran would go on to do. for taking on their "demonic" roles like Sannes warns Hange of here.
Tumblr media
it happens to Levi because of his choice and his moral devolution, and he redeems himself by killing Zeke and playing a major role in making the Scouts' collective dream finally realized; it happens to Nile for living with no regard to anyone but his family by being titanized, and redeems himself by helping Gabi and the Braus family escape during the invasion; etc.
Hange's sin was their willingness to run away. again back to the uprising: Hange argues that w/ the Survey Corps on the run, they hunker down in the cabin to remain safe, because Nick was murdered: "i was naive. it's my fault.'"
again do you see the resemblance? because there's more🥰.
besides their duty, it's Levi's resolve/strength, and their friends, that disproves the bullshit suicide theory.
Levi rebukes them by pointing out that their guilt is making them give up, and that hiding will just get them killed.
in the present, Levi again acts as their support. in the forest, they admit that they want to run away and live with him there. Levi tells them that they can't just keep running and hiding, and likely knowing the responsibility Hange feels to their comrades too, he points out that Hange won't be able to stay out of the action, and Hange agrees: they won't run.
and you want to tell me that Hange's sacrifice is them volunteering to quit, to run away, to die? PFFT.
similarly, their comrades give them strength on both sides of the aisle. both Mikasa and Pieck.
Tumblr media
in a cosmic burst of irony, Hange does get to run away from the fight, but that's to keep the alliance safe, and give them the time to fix the plane. just like how they wanted to keep the Survey Corps safe during the uprising, and Levi safe after the explosion.
like what Hange chose to do thanks to Levi's support during the uprising, they're running away and fighting at the same time.
it was their duty as a Scout. it was Levi who helped give them bravery. they felt this sacrifice, for it to be "their turn", was their responsibility because they felt they failed the Scouts both living and dead. Hange didn't want to die!!
if Hange wasn't presented with this opporutunity, they would've fought proudly right beside Levi and the others. no doubt.
they even still have hope that Eren wasn't right. they're admitting defeat today, but even so, they believe peace will prevail one day.
Tumblr media
it's the same (Hange would also echo levi's sentiment about the value of fighting if you were going to die anyway too.)
also, maybe it's a reach, but it's telling to me that as Hange comments on accepting defeat, they look just as scared when it's their death. Hange ALWAYS considered their life as belonging to the Survey Corps.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
if all of this still isn't good enough, just look at how Hange was accepted by the ghosts of Scouts after their death. this is what drives me CRAZY about the suicide theory - it's completely unfounded!!!!
Tumblr media
Erwin and Moblit, whose opinions Hange likely cared about most, are smiling at them, and Erwin puts it plainly. the Scouts are proud of Hange. Hange gave their sacrifices meaning, because now the alliance can catch up to the Rumbling. how can this be because of an intentioned suicide?
something that's pointed to is Hange's expression when saying goodbye for the last time.
Tumblr media
they look pained and guilty right? but seriously...? knowing just how far Levi's strength got them, that it gave Hange the bravery, even, to do their sacrifice?? only to leave him alone when they were so close to reaching peace? of course they're upset. of course they feel pained and guilty. they probably even feel awful for feeling awful: this is it, and as perfect as that is, Hange feels awful because they were so close, but they had a job to do; Levi gave them strength, but Levi is alone.
to be succinct, i guess, it’s like this: because Jean wanted to block out what was happening and let the Rumbling happen, does that mean he doesn’t give a fuck about humanity and believed in Eren? NO.
it’s the same thing. because Hange quickly volunteered to do what was sure to kill them, did they not give a fuck about the Scouts and wanted to kill themself? NO.

Again, Eren was a dumbass who had no control of his powers. Thinking that committing a fucking genocide would fix things. Even though, and this will tie in with a certain country currently, genocide is NOT THE FUCKING ANSWER!!! You fucking dumbass!!!

ok real talk how come every time I see a take from someone saying “attack on titan is fascist!” it’s written by someone who unambiguously didn’t actually watch/read the series and, at best, skimmed a wiki page like fr this show has multiple speeches about how violence is easy but peace must be sought after, about how xenophobia is dumb, a speech that literally opens with the phrase “genocide is wrong” just to remove any possible ambiguity whatsoever.
“Oh but the main character is-” an idiot. Even from season 2, the instant the world starts to become bigger and more confusing, characters start telling eren he’s a dumbass and needs to keep up with everyone else. Eren’s main flaw is refusing to keep up with the times, and this also comes up in literally every one of his important scenes.
Listen if you don’t like the show, think the ending had a few issues, or just think it had wasted potential, that is entirely fair. If you say the show is sympathetic towards either of the fascistic groups, you’re an idiot.

reflecting on my education in middle and high school is fucking wild. like it's a miracle i didn't become some kind of fascist with how they were prepping me to fall down the far right pipeline. christian private schools will literally just teach you anything huh
like I just had a memory beam into my head of my history teacher teaching us that andrew jackson was actually totally cool and that he was only held back by those pesky laws that didn't let him genocide ALL the natives. like what the fuck is that. how did I hear that and think it was normal. trick question it's because i was a (undiagnosed autistic) child and my brain was squishy enough that I was still absorbing everything authority figures told me as absolute truth. even if something sounded wrong, everyone else around me says it's ok, so I guess it is?? type shit
thank fuck I had a genderfluid friend in high school. Eren if you're out there I need you to know you probably saved me from becoming an ultra far-right dumbass, you actually got me thinking about other groups of people as actually PEOPLE. we were already friends before they realized they were genderfluid and (very patiently) explained the concept to me. my autistic ass was like "wait people can feel like their gender? It's not just a label that's arbitrarily placed on you and you just accept it?" and THAT took me a hot minute to figure out (tbh I still don't really understand because I've never felt that strong of a connection to my own gender, but I understand enough that it is important to a lot of people and to be respectful and that's what matters most I think. so thank you for that eren)
but still, that was only my first, tiniest baby step out of the hyper-religious and conservative bubble I was raised in. i try not to be too angry at past-me for all the bullshit I believed in, I was very much a product of my environment and I did change once I was exposed to other people and religions, but. man. I was looking though old school assignments a while back (and yes I still have them because I have a weird fear of throwing away certain things like homework/paperwork, regardless of the fact that I'm no longer in school), and WOW that shit was racist as hell. holy fuck. WHY was I taught that the Catholic crusades were a good thing????
Also I was exclusively taught that Capitalism Good and Communism Evil. we read Ayn Rand and were told that the invisible hand was awesome and that all governmental regulations on economics are terrible. also taxes are bad. poor people deserve to live the way they do because they are just Bad With Money and the government shouldn't support them financially because uhhhhh reasons. If I was talking to a Church Person they would follow that up with "the church should be the ones supporting the poor, not the government" and I would be like "so why aren't churches supporting the poor" and they'd be like "well not all churches follow the bible like Us, The True Christians" and then I respond "so who is supporting the poor if the government shouldn't be allowed to and the churches won't?" and they would say "uhhhhh why don't you go hang out with the other teens ahaha"
huge shout out to this one girl I knew in my old church, who managed to see past all the bs and was a very staunch feminist. girl I am SO sorry for all the stupid shit I said to you. I my brain was poisoned from all the indoctrination and steven crowder I was watching on youtube. Society IS fucked and I'm sorry I was so annoying about being like "um well, acktually, statistically—" god I was so fucking stupid. She's still out there being a leftist/feminist icon somewhere cause I heard her family being like "she needs prayers for her to Return To God". although there's also the chance she's a terf now or something, can't discount the fact that she was also raised hyper religious and to hate trans people, that shit sticks in your brain if you don't take steps to address it
ANYWAY all this to say, thank FUCK I escaped that line of thinking. so thankful to all the online communities that opened me up to left leaning politics and supporting LGBTQ+ people, and even more thankful to all my LGBTQ+ friends who have been patient with me (and welcomed me into the community!! shout out to my other aroaces) and answered my questions in good faith over the years, I'm genuinely trying to be better <3 I'm under no illusions that I'm finished learning, I'm sure there's still plenty of shit beliefs hiding somewhere in my psyche that I haven't figured out yet, but I'm staying open to change and to listening to others' experiences and beliefs!!

Fuck this series’ treatment of Mikasa
She did nothing wrong, and yet keeps getting shit on by everyone, and everything in it. No one even attempts to defend her, or comfort her, or anything. Take these panels for example.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here she is blaming herself for something that she didn’t even do, comparing her “crimes” to be on par with Eren’s, the dumbass bastard who is genociding the entire world, and yet no one, not a single person, even says a damn thing.
I know there’s a bigger issue here, but after they get out of the PATHs System, no one even says anything to her.
Not even Jean. The guy who’s still in love with her. Yeah, Jean. Don’t even try to stand up for, or even try to comfort the obviously traumatized, obviously upset, heartbroken, hurt, and miserable girl of your dreams. Some husband you’d fucking be.
No else even says anything. Armin did at least try to deck Eren in the face when he straight-up told Mikasa that he hated her, and he did look sympathetic to her in this chapter, but no one else did. They all just stood there like complete idiots with their mouths agape and said nothing.
You know.
Like usual.
Real talk, how much better would this series be if the characters actually tried to argue with Eren instead of just not saying anything, and acting like his incredibly stupid, naïve, racist, violent, bloodthirsty, illogical, selfish, and genocidal behavior and thinking made complete sense and was entirely irrefutable?
We all know it would be. It’s not even hard to do.
If this current chapter actually does so, then fine. But until then, fuck this series and fuck how it treats Mikasa.

My feelings on attack on titan are extremely negative. This manga fucking sucks for a multitude of reasons. I read it all when season 4 was airing & everybody I'd ever met was like DUDE ITS THE TITS ITS SO GOOD so I pirated the manga & read that shit. It fucking sucked for a long time. All that exposition about the Elyrians (the Jews) being secretly all monsters. But not actually though because to those that know about their ancestry are like oh we're actually the children of God etc whatever I can't give a shit. Dumbass author should have done research on whether or not his manga was antisemitic but he didn't. What a cunt.
And then after that the manga pulled a complete 180 with its themes. Imperialism was no longer portayed positively. The idea that one race of people is inherently better or more dangerous than another became the view of huge assholes. Shit the main protagonist of the last like decade of story became the final villain of the story because he was like "if we don't kill everybody else on the planet then everybody else will come for us" and everybody else was like what the fuck is wrong with you. And there is a panel. There is a panel of Hanji Zoe saying like. "Eren has to be fucking killed. There will never be justification for genocide" and like the manga gets good (or would be if it weren't a Holocaust fanfiction) for like a good while and then they get the final kill on Eren in the second to last chapter and mikasa kisses eren's disembodied head which is really weird but she already was the worst character in the story so no biggie and then the last chapter hits.
The last chapter of attack on titan makes for one of the worst endings to a story I have ever fucking seen. The only stuff I've seen that comes close are stories that like had trouble with long term direction or didn't have the resources to give a show a satisfying ending. In the last chapter. Eren visits Armin during a weird trip in his mind & the two discuss philosophy/why Eren killed off 80% of the world's population etc. So basically Eren did it because of some weird bullshit where he experiences the past present & future all at the same time, gaining total omniscience when he touched his friend Christa a little while back. Eren saw through every timeline, & the only way to save his new family & the people he loved the most was TO SLAUGHTER 80% OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION. Now if this were a good story, Armin would hear this & say oh my God, you're fucking crazy you're the worst mother fucker to ever live. But he doesn't, because this is the worst manga ever made after like every pedophile doujinshi. Upon hearing Eren explain all of this to him, Armin goes "thank you eren. For commiting planet wide genocide for us" LIKE NOT 10 CHAPTERS AFTER HANJI IS LIKE GENOCIDE IS INEXCUSABLE.
This is like a new level of central theme abandonment. Naruto is an awful case of this because it doubles back on a ton of its central themes. But Attack on Titan? It abandons its themes in a way that really works for the story & completely flips everything about how certain themes are depicted. And its so good, but Isayama double dips on theme abandonment worse than ever thought imaginable. The awful ending to this horror story is more horrifying than any of the scary Jewish monsters in the story itself.
Tl:dr attack on titan fucking sucks don't read it just watch Levi's fights on youtube they're the only thing that's good the whole way through

hii- omg i love your hcs!!! can you do my jean brain wrot a favor and write an hc for him, specifically for sleeping next to him and cuddling? i know he lets you be the big spoon if you ask 🥺
cuddling with jean hc’s!
note: hello!! thank you 🥺 i’m really happy that you enjoy my hc’s! i love jean as well, he’s such a comfort character for me. he just likes having you close whenever he gets the chance. 😭 this is set post time skip in canon! however, this is before eren is like woohoo genocide time!
jean x gn!reader
warnings: none.
Tumblr media
jean loves cuddling with you whenever you two have downtime.
taking a break from training the new recruits, you will slink away into one of your office’s to settle down and lean on one another.
jean really likes when you’re sitting next to him and leaning your head on his shoulder. it makes him feel wanted.
when you’re around others, he will always have an arm around your waist, or have you sitting on his lap. he likes to make sure everyone knows that you’re his, they can’t have you.
he puts on a bit of a façade around everyone else, acting all tough and cool, but in private, he get’s super soft and wholesome, becoming sticky sweet like candy.
calls you the sappiest, cringiest names. thinking snugglemuffin or bunnykins. like, unironically too. he will genuinely call you those, not seeing a problem with it.
you always find it kind of funny but also really endearing.
he will squish your cheeks together, calling you those names and then proceed to kiss your lips.
sometimes when you’re cuddling, he will tickle you just so he can hear you laugh. he knows his limits though, because if he tickles you too much, you wont cuddle with him.
i think i’ve headcanoned this before, but he loves to just rub his stubble on you. he likes your reaction from it, cause it makes you laugh a lot.
cuddles with him in bed late at night includes him tucking his head into your shoulder/neck.
he’ll mumble sweet words against the skin of your neck, declaring his love for you over and over, telling you how effortlessly stunning you always look.
he honestly gets really into his feels when it’s late, becoming insecure about how you could ever like him when he’s not very special to begin with.
you always have to tell him that he’s so strong and you admire how hard working he is, how much he loves his friends. it’s super inspiring and that’s only the tip of the iceberg for why you like him.
sometimes he will cry when you tell him this, apologizing for doing this all the time, but you just shush him and press your lips to his, hoping to pour all your love into the kiss and also stop him from being so down on himself.
it works most of the time, but sometimes, you have to just keep whispering reassurances to him, giving him all the love you can to make sure he knows that he is wonderful and that you wouldn’t trade him for anyone.
he definitely loves being the big spoon and prefers it, but when you ask if you can be the big spoon, he will relent and let you. 
he secretly loves it, and when he’s feeling down, he’s super pliant and will let you maneuver him to be the little spoon, cuddling close to him and caging him in with your arms.
he finds it super comforting in situations where he’s super stressed or upset about something. it feels good to not have to be in control and let someone else take care of him.
sometimes you pull an uno reverse on him and call him those sappy, cringy pet names when you’re the big spoon. calling him snookums or googly woogly. he openly tells you he loves them and you just roll your eyes at him.
you love him regardless of his silly quirks.
even if he lets you be the big spoon, when you guys fall asleep, there are high chances that you’ll end up on his chest when you wake up.
it’s really peaceful sleeping next to him. you’ve heard what the other boys in the scouts sound like when sleeping, and most of them snore way too loud.
jean snores a little, but its really soft, and this will sound weird, but it’s a little comforting.
sometimes you can’t help yourself, and you just press tons of kisses to his jaw when he’s sleeping, so overtaken with your love for this man. his nose scrunches before you ultimately wake him up with your kisses.
you grin sheepishly at him and he just sends a groggy smile at you before pulling you closer to him and closing his eyes to sleep once more.
waking up with him is the best because it’s all just soft looks and lazy make out sessions.
you two always try to soak up as much time as you can before you ultimately have to get up and prepare for a hard day of work.
if there is nothing urgent that you both need to get to, you take more time than usual to be lazy. usually someone has to go yell at you guys to get up, claiming that breakfast time is almost over and you’ve missed it.
if you two do miss breakfast, you sneak into the kitchen to snag some bread or something to eat.
be prepared for your friends to nag you both for being sappy and gross when you answer their questions of where you were.
“ew, jean we don’t need to hear about the heart eyes you two make at each other when we see it for ourselves all the time.”
“shut up, jeager, at least i’m not fucking single like you are, dumbass.”
he’s very protective of you. will beat up eren if he says anything about your relationship like above. you have to hold him back from beating eren up sometimes.
overall, he’s very cuddly and snuggly. secretly a huge sap, but don’t tell your friends that. ♡

Stop The ZackRay ShipWars! Stop harassing shippers! Stop Pressuring Antis. Shut the fuck up.
Do you know what really annoys me the dumb ass anti-shippers that think you shipping two drawings makes you support pedophilia. What a dumbass ignorant logic is that. Do your fucking research no one is shipping them erotically in any type of way. Majority of shippers ship them platonically until the future. Or with Rachel being older?? We see potential with the ship in the future!! Back to the whole pedophilia bullshit. I swear Anti’s favorite line is you’re supporting pedophilia or you’re a pedophile.. No, I’m peacefully just shipping a ship of two damn drawings. That’s implying the same logic as me/you liking mass murders, serial killers, psychopaths, and many more ill and sickly characters makes me/you support and agree with everything they do in reality. Do you really think that liking Zack makes me support serial killers like ...Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer? Hell no it’s fiction!?! Do you think me liking Ryo from devil man crybaby makes me support Satan or demonic behaviors? No. Do you think me liking Eren Yaeger makes me support someone who does mass genocide? No? Distinguish your fiction from reality. So how the fuck does liking a ship you see potential with make me a pedophile. Idiotic mindset.  I also want to mention how every single Disney princess has a same exact age gap with their princes. Ariel, Snow White, Rapunzel, Mulan, Belle, Aurora, Pocahontas, Jasmine and many more fictional Disney characters. They all have age gaps even worse!  And no one says anything about those age gaps. And those movies were specifically made for children. Other than Angels of Death in which was targeted to an older crowd. Don’t even get me started on have sacks age was ‘presumed’ making it a guess. No bur seriously I feel like if Rachel was older many of y’all wouldn’t be so dismissive towards a lot of the scenes/panels that were meantly to be romantic? Or even see this clearly being a romantic thing? I mean damn near ever thing in the Finial scene were symbols of love... including the doves and the scenery under the moon. How can you deny that? Honestly, even the art work I’ve seen wasn’t as intimate as this panel was from volume 12...?
Tumblr media
These panels are really making me question how some people don’t see the signs?? They’re list of panel scenes I can add of them being ‘ship-canon-like’.
Tumblr media
No one is pressuring you into shipping it. We just want the fandom to be less toxic over a ship. People should be able to not ship the ship and people should be able to ship the ship. People shouldn’t harass people for shipping it and people shouldn’t pressure people into shipping it.  people should be able to post freely on their opinions about characters, relationships and opinions without getting attacked for it. Stop harassing artist as well cause honestly that’s pissing me off too! Yes, I do ship ZackRay but I do agree that this arguing over it needs to end including death threats and all especially. Thank you! 
Also I wont be replying to anyones bullshit of being pressed over this post because I’m pretty sure some Anti will ..., unless..

Why Sasha?
Will someone out there explain why Isayama singled Sasha out for the most abused and most exploited death in the final act? Why she got the axe in the bunch and why it was all milked to absolutely zero purpose? 
Yes you fuckers. War is tragic, but countless other deaths already emphasized that, doing it with Sasha was excess. The point was made clear plenty with Erwin and Marco was it not? Why was she thrown into that position and given a final appearance in the last chapter but MARCO WAS NOT? Someone equally important to the original 104th as Sasha? Why was he forgotten?  Why did the cunt Gabi kill her again? Because in the end that little bitch doesn’t even seem profoundly affected, not using what she learned of that horrible encounter to do her part to better the world, just wheeling Levi around........Just because? You cook up a reason because I don’t think Isayama did! 
That dumbass children of the forest analogy.......Another metaphor for ending the cycle of violence, but the ending shows that no, that did not truly happen. Rings extremely hollow. 
Why was Sasha treated with such little regard but Gabi given so much forgiveness? Her being a kid does NOT absolve her of murder, and that extends to her genocidal older cousin and his friends. Why was Sasha’s end treated as “an act of war” instead of the grave amoral act it was like all the other murders against her people? 
Was there ANY REAL REASON to exclude her from the final battle or to deny her a right to live? Again are the same assholes out there who state that dying was her own role the same people angry about Historia being cut out by the pregnancy subplot? Or those angry that Mikasa is not her own person because of her Eren obsession even after it’s all over? YOU’RE HYPOCRITES MAKING EXCUSES FOR AN AUTHOR WHO SCREWED UP. 
So many things just don’t ring right with the way Sasha’s end was treated or even the decision to do it AT ALL. And I don’t even know why characters like Niccolo and Kaya exist if we never were going to get any meaningful interaction of them onscreen with her. 
Isayama is a classless, self-absorbed weapons grade retard who I do not believe really valued Sasha as one of his characters. He took a pass on her death once and should have left well enough alone. Because how he handled it all was not poignant, it was tasteless and ultimately meaningless. Especially since even less important or far less entertaining characters like CONNIE PIECK AND YELENA survived the ordeal. 
Someone earlier today remarked a remake ought to do a lot more with Sasha if one ever emerged. AND I FULLY AGREE WITH THAT. 
Sasha could’ve held up far better on her own story, on her own feet, in her own rights without all this aforementioned crap. And that extends to many others, Ymir comes to mind. Hange comes to mind. Historia comes to mind. Because Mikasa sure as hell could not hold up her end by the end. 
Sasha Braus is the ultimate waste of a great character. Just try to convince me otherwise, you won’t get far trying.

Decisions Of a Capricorn
____________________________________
Summary: Levi Ackerman woke up one fine morning. In the past. Shit.
Genre: Angst, lets-change-shit, drama, liddol romance (Levixhappiness)
Pairings: Levi/Original Female Character, Levi/Petra
Warning: Manga spoilers
________________________________
Chapter 1. Chapter 2
____________________________________
Chapter 3: Brace
____________________________________
Summary:  Capricorns can be naturally pessimistic. They already expect unfortunate things to happen in life, so they take them in a stride.
Alternatively, Levi braces himself for the worst and is pleasantly suprised.
____________________________________
Telling his squad had gone better then he thought it would. His special ops members took the news it in a stride, immediately launching into a discussion of what they needed to do now and how to utilize this information best. Eren, as expected of his 15 year old version, was befuddled.
Levi wondered how someone so innocent looking transformed into a complete monster in such short time.
His squad had lived up to his expectations, easily concluding that they need to keep this information to themselves for now. Eld, ever the natural born leader, took the lead and suggested that they need to learn to work with Eren. So that they aren't caught off guard on the bare minimum skill level they can expect from the traitor.
Gunther was the one who brought up the possibility of facing the armoured titan, and even though Levi was sure they wouldn't have to face that particular beast yet, he still agreed with their suggestions of carrying some fire arms. Thunder spears didn't exist yet, which meant that grenades and canons would be their best shot.
Eren had tried to voice out his own suggestion, that he wanted to train his skill set too. He felt that he needex to improve in some areas, and although Levi bitterly recalled how much Eren had improved without help in another life, he had to agree with the brat.
His squad, however, didn't share the same opinion and immediately began to shut Eren down.
'Eren, your job is to trust us. We expect you to leave it all to us and transform as an absolute last resort!'
'Yeah, you brat, don't get cocky. The only way you'll fight is if we somehow di-'
Olou had bitten his tounge and cut himself off before Levi could. Levi had then interrupted before Eld and Gunther could throw in their two cents.
'Eren is the main target, what will all of you do if Eren is somehow dragged away you from you and has to fight for himself? We need to prepare this brat for everything, especially how to fight in his titan form.'
They had all shut up, but he could tell it was only because of Eren's presence. They wouldn't be caught dead speaking speak out against their superior, especially in front of Eren. Levi had taken advantage of that little fact.
'We'll get back to this in a while-- Eren it's time for you to transform. Four eyes is here'
____________________________________
It went just like last time, Eren wasn't able to transform. He sat in front of Levi, looking just as despondent he had the last time. He didn't walk away from Eren like last time, instead having chosen to stick close to the brat. Some things still needed to happen, and Levi was just waiting for that inevitable explosion.
When Eren accidentally transformed this time, he immediately took out his blades and points them at his team, not at all surprised that they had already drawn their blades.
They would always be talented little brats, but they had a long way to go..
'Captain-'
'Put down your blades Petra.'
'Captain get away from Eren-Please-'
It had continued on, with the brats arguing in favour of heatedly questioning Eren and his motives, while he had ferociously stood by the him. It was a part of the plan really-he knew that Eren would be fine no matter what. He just hoped that, at least this time around, the brat would take his taking a stand for him like this into consideration before he decided to launch a mass genocide on his own.
'Shut up and obey.'
His team had faltered, and then slowly lowered their swords as he began to speak.
'Do you have any other titan shifters?'
They all looked confused. Only Olou managed to speak croak out a strangled no. Levi pointed at Eren, who was panicking alot less since Levi had begun to speak in his favour.
'You see this dumbass? He's our only shot. There's no replacement for him. All of you can be replaced, Erwin can be replaced, Hange can be replaced. Despite your silly admiration of me, I could easily drop dead and be replaced too.-'
His squad had looked scandalised at the thought of their beloved captain being anything remotely close to being replaceable. Then again, none of them had experienced Mikasa and her unnatural strength yet.
'We need him. He doesn't need us. Understand that none of you can afford to point your blades at him without my orders. The next time you do so, I will be your opponent.'
Eld and Gunther had looked nervous, Olou had visibly begun to sweat and Petra had looked at him a little strangely. However, they all seemed to understand the point he wanted to make. '
'Am I clear?
They all nodded
'Yes Sir!'
____________________________________
He had made sure to still have that chat with Eren, to make him understand his squads actions. He knew Eren trusted him a little more this time around-his showing support toward him like this had likely changed his opinion of him, if only a little. Levi was banking on that, hopefully he could push the kid in the right direction.
He had gone to his room after Hange had explained Eren's transformation and his squad had shown support towards Eren by biting their hands. A filthy act, but he supposed in this case he would allow it. Not that it stopped him from ordering them to go sanitise their hands and not come near him for a while.
He had even made his tea on his own, unwilling to let them touch them with their germ infected hands. Petra had looked at him oddly when he had told her he would do it on his own, almost like a kicked puppy.
He sat in bed, tea long finished and mind occupied.
He had been somewhat productive so far, managing to manipulate Erwin into changing the plan to capture the female titan. His squad was well in the loop, and likely making several plans to take on a titan shifter. Eren was beginning to look at him with more trust, something he hoped would blossom more.
There was still too much to figure out though. And since Levi had resolved to not let Erwin in on the plan, he was now drowning in things he needed to figure out. How Erwin managed to sort through so much crap was beyond him.
Some things, he had already figured out. Others were still being debated upon.
When it came to Historia, he would injure her tommorow, to the point she wouldn't be able make it to the expedition. She would likely try to jail him for it after taking the crown, but he figured he could call it vacation time from work and enjoy the silence. Those brats were too loud anyways.
He knew that Rod Reiss might come after her sooner after hearing that she had been injured, so he would have an old friend keep an eye out for her. It was an aquantince from the underground, one of the few he could trust, that had managed to crawl their way to the surface too. He was strong and capable-and very good at hiding when he needed to.
Only Levi had ever been able to find him- and since he knew Kenny Ackerman wouldn't be used yet, he felt it was the best way to keep her safe.
He had also decided that he would have to kill Kenny. He had contemplated recruiting the old bastard, but Kenny was too much of a gamble. The type only Erwin would take on trying to recruit. And while it would be feasible to drop hints about his mentor in the underground to the Commander, he wasn't sure the Survey Corps could handle a mission like that. Their attention needed to be on capturing shifters and getting Historia to the crown.
Maybe Erwin could risk something like that, but this time it would be his deicison. Kenny, despite his conflicting feelings towards him, had to be eliminated. He just couldn't chance their opposition having someone like that on their side, and wasn't confident enough that they could get him to jump ship.
The rest he was still a little muddled on. He was reasonably sure he could draw Ymir to their side, especially if he told her about how Historia would be queen soon. But the girl wasn't dumb, she would also be able to tell that Historia would have a part time job as child breeder, and might even try to leave with her then.
It pained him to do so, but he couldn't save Historia from that fate. He could, however try his damned hardest that her children wouldn't be turned into shifters.
The other shifters left him feeling conflicted. They needed the Colossal titan, he would be their mass weapon against other nations. The moment he could, he would get the serum and feed Bertolts titan to one of their soldiers. There would be no compromising on that, no matter how much he wished he could lure the kid to their side instead and spare him from that painful death. He just didn't know the kid enough to ensure he could win him over.
As for Reiner, Levi recalled the young man who had stepped up to stop Eren. He recognised that he was stuck in a tough place, but again, he would have to harden his heart. He had to keep his side as safe as possible, even if it meant taking away the armoured titan.
A part of him still hoped that he could get the kid to join him though, he would definitely try for it.
As for Zeke and Pieck, who had likely already arrived on the island, they would be dealt promptly. Zeke would need to be restrained and hidden away in a deep tunnel, while the cart titan would be given to someone else.
He would, unfortunately, have to allow Zeke to turn Ragako Village into titans. But he figured not everyone needed to be turned for it, he could at least get the children out of there. Connie's mother had been key in figuring out the truth about titans, and so he would have to sacrifice her. But Connie's siblings would at least live this time around.
More of his cormades would survive the attack too, having less titans to deal with. He was hoping that Mike and his squad would get out of it alive and not be dealt the same unfortunate fate they had suffered through before.
When it came to Annie, however, Levi already knew what to do. If all went well, he was more then sure that the Female Titan would be fighting for the Island soon enough.
His plans regarding the shifters were a big gamble on his part, since it was all relying on one thing specifically.
Getting the titan serum from the Royal government.
But Levi was a thief at heart, a man who knew how to get things no one wanted to give, to find them in the shadiest corner, completely undetected. Worst comes, he would easily infiltrate. Their security was crap anyways.
He would know. It wouldn't be the first time he had stolen something from those bastards anyways.
Levi laid down, covering himself with a blanket. He thought of one last thing before he allowed sleep to overcome him.
It was dumb of Marley to send six of their shifters to the Island, and all at the same time too. Because Levi had no intention of letting any of them go back home, not this time around.
____________________________________
In all his years of living, Levi had gotten used to being surprised. He had gone through surprise attacks, friends turning into foes, getting punched by the Queen and even time travelled. Yet had taken it all in a stride.
He had expected that half his plans would fail, that he would end up losing his squad anyways, that Annie would escape this time too. But here they were, sitting in the mess hall, post expedition, and very much alive.
Erwin had informed more squads about the traitor, although thankfully Reiner and his squad hadn't been told. Most of them had understood that they likely wouldn't be able to take on the threat, and their squad leaders had made sure to have them engage very litte. They had tactfully allowed the Female Titan to pass through the formation, thus leading her to Eren. More lives had been saved this time around, much to his pleasure.
They had gone through the same plan, trapping her in the forest. Erwin had stood by and watched as the female titan glared at him. Beside him had stood soldier with black hair, wearing a hoodie. Their face had been hidden, but everyone had called that soldier captain Levi. It had made Annie think she was safe, that when she called titans to her and left to go after squad Levi, Humanity's Strongest wouldn't come after her until she accomplished her mission.
It was only when she reached the squad and made to slice at Gunther that she realise that she had been duped. The sight of Humanity's Strongest blocking her blade with his own had caused her to sweat.
Things had gotten on easily then, she hadn't been much match for him. And his squad had taken double their usual measures, going as far as to throw explosives at her before he could carve her out of the nape. Eren had watched it all in awe, thankfully the brat hadn't needed to transform this time around.
His expression had quickly changed to shock and betrayal once he spotted his comrade sealed in a crystal. Levi wasn't suprised that she had sealed herself like that this time too, he had been counting on it actually.
Levi snapped out of his thoughts and pushed his now empty tray away. He decided it was the perfect time to put his plan into action.
He needed to pay Annie Leonhart a visit.

A/N: Heyooo. Here's chapter 3! Any guesses how Levi is getting Annie on their side?
Sorry I don't post much, but I swear things have been ridiculously busy. Uni life, housework, and my mom is sick too :(

lmao, was that the same dumbass post i saw? they also went on and blamed eren for "bottling" everything up and basically excused all his "friends" for being shitty friends? and the military for sitting on their asses and doing nothing for years? i swear to god, every month it's the stans of the same three fucking characters clogging up the tag with complete idiocy and delusion.
If it was the one in the chapter tag, yup.
And I swear, all they can do is throw around the word “genocide” thinking it makes them so smart.
