[fishyartist]

im not rbing the post because i dont have the energy 2 screen the link, but dont buy disco elysium btw. games good+i recomend it, just donttt bother paying for it. long story short the devs got fucked+now the money just goes to Some Asshole. piracy is awesome btw.

#also i literally didnt check if the files were legit but i DID download animate from tumblrinas back when we were doing qr codes #so like. i have good experience doing dumb shit. dont trust me. #if u want piracy advice. uh. i just download files and. somehow it always works out #the one time it kinda didnt work out i torrented sims 4 w/o a vpn. dont do that. #ea threatened me through our ISP. nothing came of it thank FUCK but fuck you ea! #anyways direct download's have never given me issues like that. just use adblock and #(bad advice) just kinda trust redditors to know what is/isnt good. #idk how to do that shit safely PLEASE go elsewhere 4 advice

since you mentioned you dont know yet what you'll get in trouble for here: reblogging posts from radfems is pretty high on the list!

since you can't avoid nasty groups by not visiting their subreddits, the main mechanism on here is blocking and not interacting, and using word-of-mouth to warn each other

on desktop many people use shinigami eyes to tell who theyll want to avoid, and you also learn to pick up on a lot of digwhistles over time. ofc it can happen that you reblog sth from a (crypto) terf as an honest mistake, and most people wont bother checking every single op's account to see if they hold some shitty views or w/e

since tumblr posts spread directly from person to person instead of being posted on a central forum, most people trust that the people they follow (or somone in that reblog chain) will be trying to reduce engagement for terfs (often ppl will get a polite anon or dm informing them that they have reblogged terf content, and the will delete it before it spreads further)

OOPS!!!!! 😰 I didn't realize until I scrolled through their account! I just saw a silly image and thought of a funny caption why'd it have to be a terf account 😭

Answering this for other oblivious redditors to not make same mistake

[thingsarentgreat]

This was honestly just meant to be a vent blog about I/P discussions being trash. It's wild that I feel safer here. I still dont spend large amounts of time on Tumblr anyways.

You know what's funny? I used to hate Tumblr. I was a shitty little Redditor kid ten years ago. But I still remember the thing that nearly launched me down the alt-right pipeline - it was because I was angry at being spoken for and over by privileged people who didn't have any right to do so. And we all have varying levels of privilege, this is just a simplification of the frustration I felt as a minority not being allowed to share an opinion unless it was aligned properly with the slogans.

But it's something I'm reflecting on these days. I see and feel the same mix of frustration, wanting to scream but holding it in until you feel you're about burst. I recognize exactly why I avoided specific left leaning social medias. Because the leftism online is oftentimes a popularity contest. It is trendy. And when something is a trend, when it's fashionable, people tend to wear it without question because that's the thing to do, yes?

To dig in and come to messier conclusions upon the first two shovelfuls of dirt and say "wait, this is way more complicated, this can't fit on a slogan" - that's not trendy, not fashionable. It can't be digested in a single sitting, so it's not worth learning.

I still have largely leftist opinions. I just don't really trust the space. It's like a fandom rather than a political group.

#things' stuff #jumblr #i dont know jumblr. im new here i guess. but this is about The Jewish Feelings so #i hope thats ok to put in the tag.

Heu I rly like rezero but I finished arc 6 a few months ago but am having trouble getting back into the flow because ive heard people saying arc 7 was the weakest by far, could u give me some like idk encouragement for arc 7? I trust ur opinion over that of redditors

Thx in advance ilu <3

HONESTLY ive been kind of in the same boat w arc 7- a lot of personal life stuff has me sort of lagging behind it.. but i actually dont think its that weak so far though. i think its just that a lot of the characters we love arent in it for a lot of it. it makes it a bit harder to get as invested in an entirely new cast when you kinda just wanna see your little guys again. not to mention it might just be because arc 6 was so good- ive seen a lot of ppl say that arc 5 was weak coming off of arc 4. from a more thematic perspective i agree its not quite as dense but from a story perspective it was still cool as hell lol

but all that being said i cant give a fullllll review of it since its been a while and im sure theres stuff to actually critique... at the very least i wanna catch up again to see how they handle the natsumi stuff. like, genuinely love that subaru has an earnest crossdressing hobby but i hope theyre not weird abt it since hes using it to go undercover and all.

if anything this is moreso motivating ME to go and read it so i can share more thoughts lol. once i do i can pretty much guarantee ill share them. either way i do think its worth eventually catching up to at the very least just to see what happens next

[surpriserose]

surprised that people dont like the age of pleasure like granted i really only go to r/popheads and you might say you trust redditors 🤨 but theyre mostly reasonable and janelle monáe is an honorary mod there like they love her there i dont understand the disappointment especially people being like man its just an album about gay sex like YEAH? ITS CALLED THE AGE OF PLEASURE???? I understand wanting more of the archandroid slash dirty computer stuff but they never said this album was going to be anything like that come on besties did you forget one of her mentors/inspirations is PRINCE??? shes allowed to write 30 gay sex albums man i need them

#Do understand the people who are disappointed by the album and song lengths though i get that part

[lordiavolo22]

why would you trust reddit, especially a reddit made to be angry for years and not do something else normal and who've been antisemetic many times before. the gamegrumps ppl are just ppl and you can't believe everything you read by angry people with random vendettas. newgrounds homophobes and racists and redditors love to start shit

Yall realize the grumps are racist right.

and arin is the fucking king of newgrounds homophobia. they profited off their gay fans by virtue signaling and making dream daddy!

and also told their friend that killing himself would be bad for the brand?

rant grumps (or for that matter julian/dingdong/oneyplays) are not without its problems, i will absolutely not disagree with you on that. about a third the random fanposts there are just dickheads being angry about nothing and wishing jon was back— but if your defense for the game grumps is that their enemies are bad people, well the grumps are just as bad if not worse since they put on this fake ass "were so woke and care about issues!" when they are cishet white men who profit off of their young marginalized fanbase. i prefer it when my enemies let me know they hate me, rather than this fake ass soft boi shit. (and i did go through personal shit w that so do not tell me thats not a thing lmfao)

the grumps have serious allegations against them that each of those threads goes into incredible detail about. YES there are points like any callout that is just completely like who cares. but when one of them is accused of being a sex pest thats not just a who cares situation. this is not just people hating them because theyre """""feminists""""" my god they are not. they just hopped on the feminism bandwagon to get pussy and money, like most of the youtubers of that generation did. hell dan even mocked britney spears meltdown while they were in their """feminsim""" age.

also not all reddits are created equal there are terrible alt right ones but there are also ones like r/fauxmoi (again i dont agree with everything there either) who supported amber heard before it was cool.

#answered #negative / #its like worst person you know just made a good point

[lesbiangiratina]

would you recommend the sub or dub of yyh as a first experience? I trust you about this more than The Internet its input so far has been. dicy

Im like the only person on earth who would say to watch sub first lol. Im not like Anti dub in general i usually dont mind them but i feel like the yyh dub is just Too different wrt dialogue characterization and sometimes even plot elements… i know some people prefer those changes but. Idk. I want the original intended experience whenever possible. When i hear yusuke saying one-liners every 5 minutes no matter how serious the situation is and kurama talking like a redditor im just like this was NOT togashi’s vision shut up shut up shut up

#i cant back this up obviously. but i assume people who recommend the dub watched it when they were younger #so of course theyre going to like it more. #and thats valid. i am not immune to nostalgia #but everyone gets caught in a loop of watching the dub bc everyone says to watch the dub. #and im sitting here cold and alone in my wet cardboard box reading incorrect opinions on my blorbo every day of my life #asks

[badgertablet]

I believe Damian's birthday is August 9th, but I'm not sure about Jon's

the only source i found that says dami’s b-day is a post on reddit w/ nothing to back it up,,

from my knowledge we still dont know damian’s birthday in canon. i looked at the dcu encylopedia online and the photos i took of the most recent one (granted theyre from about a year ago) but theres no b-day listed? so im hard-pressed not to believe the person on reddit bc theres no proof......... so :x-files theme:

#dc is just a binch who wont give us the deets #smh #hopefully i sound nice???? i swear im not trying to be snarky i rly appreciate u telling me #i just dont trust redditors #badger.yells #comic info #pinkpruneclodwolf

[darealsaltysam]

what your paladins main says about you

a comprehensive essay by a paladins player of right around 4 years

this is like really long so i’ll make it under the cut so my followers don’t have to scroll through this if they don’t wanna

(for context i’m a current maeve main, i used to main skye and sha lin and played tyra a long while ago)

.

Androxus

it’s not a phase, mum

“i don’t care we don’t have healer, i’m really good at him i swear”

you ult every time it loads in and you die before the final shot

your favorite mode is siege because you can fly up and shoot the whole point on ult

you’re usually really stand-offish and don’t communicate much and/or a 13 year old boy with anger issues

.

Ash

you are level-headed but in a scary way

you will hold the point solo even if it costs you your streak

“get on the point” “guys get on the point” “attack the objective”

you’ll ult to save yourself 99% of the time

good leader

.

Atlas

you probably used to main lex or androxus before he came out

“he’s like a flank, but a tank, he’s great!”

you chase after solo kills instead of sticking to the point

healers hate you, flanks and damages fear you

your favorite mode is death match

.

Barik

you’re a former/current tf2 player looking for something fresh

you don’t like working too hard so you spam turrets on the point and hope for the best

“healer stick to me i’m boutta ult”

actually really nice between rounds

but you don’t communicate much mid-game and kind of do your thing

.

Bomb King

you’re a really old player. you have the beta makoa skin and you were there when lex was first released. veteran’s discount.

your favorite maps are the old ones and they barely show up any more

the team always underestimates you

“who plays bomb king in 2021 lol?”

you need a hug

.

Buck

“wait, he’s a flank? i thought he was a tank??”

you’re also a veteran in the game

you’re a dying breed. i like never see you. do you even exist?

you’ve been here since like the first day of the game

buck gets so many skins and you want all of them but the best you have is a random recolor

.

Cassie

sweetest person alive

“we can do it guys! let’s try to all rush the point this time!”

you are the bane of every flank

the opposing team hates you, your own team kind of doesn’t notice you’re there

*casually gets a pentakill*

.

Corvus

you know those weirdly political kids who like ww2 and know the details of every tank to ever exist? yeah that’s you

but like that’s corvus. as a character.

but no one ever plays him.

like i never even see him do you exist???

you are a cryptid.

.

Dredge

yo ho you’re a hoe

no seriously the other team views you and they FEAR you

“yeah i just got a penta kill” “YOU WHAT?” “eyes on the point mate don’t get distracted”

hella good at the game and hella casual about it

you like onslaught on the one sea map the most

.

Drogoz

another veteran, are we?

you’re either useless or can wipe out a whole team in seconds. there is no in-between.

you always have a really cool skin.

dovahkiin, dovahkiin...

“i don’t care about the point i gotta get them trips”

.

Evie

you bought her because you thought she was cute, admit it

*turns into ice right before dying* *turns into ice right before dying* *turns into ice right be

your personality type is identical to her. no question about that.

always buys faster reload and better speed

strangely good communication with the team

.

Fernando

gay gay homosexual gay

“he’s kinda hot if you look at him the right way”

fernando is the tank for gay people

you are gay people

i don’t have much more to say

.

Furia

mum energy. not as much as inara mains, but still, mum energy.

will protect every member of the team with your life, even the flanks

you’ve been maining her since she was first added

i bet you didn’t even know she’s canonically seris’ sister

“we’ve literally failed to capture the point the last 3 times we might as well give up and go to another game”

.

Grohk

“yeah i have a gremlincore tumblr blog, how could you tell?”

i honestly have no words

you’re kind of like a catboy but a racoon

do you even heal the team or do you just pretend

you were there when lex got announced and thought he was cringe, now everyone finally agrees with you

.

Grover

he was your first purchased character and he’s stuck around ever since

he’s the only healer you can play well

“i am groot lmao”

you would never say a word to your team

would give your life for the tank but that’s about it

.

Imani

daenerys targaryen on drugs

your favorite anime is my hero academia

your husbando is todoroki

you see where i am going with this

“team protect me i’m gonna ult” *dies 5 seconds into ult*

.

Inara

BIG MUM ENERGY

your team is your family. you will protect them with your life.

can only hold your own with a good healer so you have good teamwork going for you

*cutely places wall in front of your ult*

useless in tdm so you stick to onslaught, siege and koth

.

Io

are you a furry, furry, or a furry?

“victow! dont ult on my tweam pwease! uwu!”

you 100% find her attractive in some way shape or form

you are either a 30 year old redditor who enjoys loli content or a 16 year old teen who is playing a shooter for the first time

she’s kind of cute, i guess

.

Jenos

i can never tell if i’m going to absolutely destroy you or if you’re gonna kick my ass

*cutely holds you up so the whole team can shoot you to death*

kamehameha

you’re a healer??? i guess???

your character has such deep lore and i bet you don’t even know half of it

.

Khan

one day you were playing and your team desperately needed a tank. you picked the first one you saw. suddenly, you’re lian’s foot stool

despite 2 layers of heavy armor, you’d still let this man walk all over you

“this skin is really cool, wish it wasn’t behind a pay wall...”

YEET

you actually know the game’s lore, for some reason

.

Kinessa

i never trust people who are good at a sniper. if you’re bad that’s natural and you’re 99% of the population. if you’re good you are definitely up to something

you’d sell your sister for 5 pennies if you could

you’re missing from the team all game and somehow have the most kills

“we have a kinessa???”

you are an urban legend to your team

.

Koga

someone’s been watching naruto

you are so shit at the game. like i’m sorry. no one’s good at koga i’m so sorry

how do you have so many skins for one character???

you’re always missing from the point

healers hate you. so does the enemy kinessa.

.

Lex

quit the game /nm

“who mains lex in 2021??? lmao???”

wall hacks, aimbot, and it’s all legal for you as an ability. you are a hacker in a world of puny vanillas. you like it easy so you go for the easy min max character. have fun getting hated

you think he’s hot and press on his loading abilities just so he can scold you and you can hear him being mad at you

*bonk* go to horny jail

.

Lian

"she could step on me”

you used to main some sort of healer but switched over when you got sick of everyone being needy

you can hold a point all on your own for a really really long time but the moment your team gets there you start flunking

you wish you had more skins for her

you don’t

.

Maeve

so imagine this. it was like 2018 and you were just chilling playing the game. you kept getting killed by maeve. in every game. she was in every game you went to and she kept killing you over and over and over again. you got frustrated, snapped, and bought her to see if you could do the same to others. you are now the maeve in every game. the cycle repeats.

your whole team doubts you but then you casually get a quad kill and they just sort of look away

you die a total of two times each round and 99% of the time it’s because you go too fast and fall off the map

you repeat everything she says in her accent because you think it’s cute

“welcome to ze meant streets, kitten!” “can you shut the fuck up” “i hate to cut and run, he-he!”

.

Makoa

you have the plushie skin or the beta skin, otherwise you don’t main and only play casually stop lying to yourself

“attack turtle go brrr”

you’re really good if you get paired with a good healer

otherwise you’re useless

you wish you could get better teammates because you could really thrive with an organized group. but on paladins you won’t get that, i’m sorry-

.

Mal’Damba

i always forget this guy is even in the game

you’re definitely under 6 foot IRL

you have an older sibling you always fight with

you’d love to have a snake irl

you’re really chill outside of the game, but when playing you hella rage

.

Moji

you are so precious

but also such a little shit

you annoy me but i also want to give you a hug

“let’s go guys!! to the point!! wheee!!”

please never change but also get out of my sight

.

Octavia

you always main the new character until the new person drops

somehow always have enough credits to buy the new champion whenever they come out

you don’t like having a stable main cuz you get bored

you like hanging out at the training rage

hate siege and love team death match, you like your games quick

.

Pip

you are the worst and best thing to ever happen to this game

you only pick him to heal yourself and hardly ever heal your team

no one notices you there until you ult

then you get focused

honestly you just seem like you wanna do your thing and i can respect that

.

Raum

you probably go to therapy or desperately need it

“BIG MAN BIG. HE IS BIG. BRRRR”

you always love the demons in media

you like being in charge of the team and wreck the point any time you are there, you like fighting on your own but having a healer nearby is nice too

you probably have daddy issues

.

Ruckus

you think ruckus’ and bolt’s dynamic is cool and that’s one of the main reasons you started playing him

he’s the only tank you can play

you used to main either inara or ying at some point but chose violence instead

really short irl. you physically relate to ruckus and spiritually to bolt.

“funny goblin man :)”

.

Seris

certified girlboss

you can hold an objective all on your own or heal your whole team no problem. either way you are SLAYING

“alright. who’s ass am i kicking today?”

mum energy is inferior to inara but still kind of there

i’m like 50% sure you have a foot fetish

.

Sha Lin

*pointing and chanting* incel, incel, ince-

whether that’s about you or the character you can decide

you like minecraft bedwars on the side

“if i don’t get this headshot i am literally going to spontaneously combust”

really useful when there’s no other long distance people - otherwise a nuisance

.

Skye

AWOOGA *jaw drops to ground, eyes roll out of head* BOOBA BOOBA BOOBA

you bought her for the tiddies, didn’t you?

she’s actually really satisfying to play once you get the hang of her, but can be real tough on rough days

you need a break i think - maybe play some other game for a bit?

*casually gets team kill with ult*

.

Strix

you own at least one pretty knife

you played him when he was unlocked on rotation, fell in love, and spent a whole evening collecting credits to buy him fully

“haha bird man”

i’ve said what i said about snipers. if you’re actually good at him you are hiding a body somewhere. i fear you.

why does everyone ship him with viktor????

.

Talus

little furry child

he reminds me of tommyinnit because he is small and annoying

if you play him you are tall and intimidating 

i’m friends with a tall scary talus main

i can’t say bad things please spare me

.

Terminus

you always ult at the worst time and just get killed again 5 seconds after

“hey losers watch this” *goes on the point, dies, revives, kills one person and dies again*

you’re only a good tank if you cooperate

you don’t

on your own you’re a pretty good player

.

Tiberius

*sigh*

you think the cat is hot, don’t you?

“his accent is kinda cute tho hehe”

you saw that one ending scene in zootopia with the dancing tigers and it CHANGED you

you are probably a furry. if not your awakening is coming. be ready.

.

Torvald

you’ve been playing this game for too long

you’ve seen skins rise and fall. you’ve seen nerfs and buffs. you’ve seen reworks and remakes. you are ancient. older than the dragons and wiser than makoa. respect.

people see you on the opposing team and get really annoyed

“the point is really crowded, we can’t move in” “don’t worry guys, my ult is charged up”

you’re really good at all the characters but you like this guy a lot because you think he’s funky fresh

.

Tyra

you’re either new to the game or have been playing for too long

either way you can KICK ASS but you need to keep behind your team to do the most damage

flanks are the bane of you, especially the fast jumpy ones

you really want one of the cooler skins but you can only ever get the basic ones. such is the curse of maining one of the OG characters.

“bite me”

.

Viktor

you are level 100+ guaranteed, and everyone fears you

“oh shit they got a victor. flank focus him”

you probably play COD and CS:GO normally and wanted to go with something familiar and easy. your skill from the other more advanced games DWARFS everyone else

but why are you playing “guy with gun 132″ in a game with magical elves and fairies. like come on bro.

you don’t have any in-game friends because paladins is your guilty pleasure game you would never admit to

.

Vivian

“step on me” syndrome cranked up to 100%

this woman could spit on you and you’d still respect her more than your own mother. good for you

“i’m not a simp. i’m just tier 3 subbed to pokimane ironically”

you sweat the game hardcore. former victor main or he’s your secondary.

you’ve got her on level 50+ at least

.

Vora

like the maeve mains but somehow worse

bought her out of spite or played her while she was on rotation, now here you are grinding credits for her a day after she became unavailable

honestly you’re really good at the game i have nothing else to say

you enjoy the newer characters more than the OGs - you’re either a former vivian or lian main

you miss the play of the game feature in the game because you’d get all of them with this girl

.

Willo

you seem like the moji mains at first but show your true colors soon after

“fuck you” x50

you are a trash talker on max overdrive. you need to sit down, do some breathing exercises and have a drink.

you hate your own team more than the opposing guys

when you see a willow on the opposing team you make it your sole goal to eliminate her as many times as humanely possible

.

Yagorath

i bet you didn’t know she was canonically female until you read this

you don’t like sweating too much so you pick the tank that leaves you heavily relying on your healers and damages

you can hold a point really well so you like siege and onslaught

“are vora and yagorath connected in the lore somehow and do i really care?”

you have a friend who you always party up with to be your healer, otherwise you might switch to another character

.

Ying

“tanks love me, flanks hate me”

you are too powerful. literally. how are you so strong

you’ve mastered the most difficult healer in the game. the others are really easy for you to play but you have trouble with seris

motivate your team a lot but start shading and trash talking if they don’t cooperate

you’ll gladly play someone else for a long while and like taking breaks from her

.

Zhin

this is your first main after switching over from overwatch. we can smell it on you.

you’re really annoyed with his personality and voice lines but the character is too good to play for you to pass him up for that. you respond to his voice lines aloud very aggressively to let him know he’s an ass

“YES ZHIN HEALERS AREN’T USELESS YOU SELFISH PRICK”

you try your best but you’re not a great team player

infinite trips on a good day, die repeatedly without kills on a bad one and you switch over to vora or skye for a bit.

.

[merlions]

hey i think it's time to stop being like, for example, "let's violently destroy these awful people for tagging the q slur" (the word queer) or like other words for identities

and start: recognizing that the ouroburotian nature of the internet punishes children for not having Purity Of Thoughts and committing Thought Crimes and doing anything slightly wrong and like help the world reevaluate that ideology?

like if you're taught from an early age that Some Words Have Weight then things start seeming Sensitive. like even identifying as an agender pansexual person at age 14, I had a hard time saying the word "transgender" or even "gay" to my parents at age 17, even knowing my mom's best friend throughout her entire life (until he died during the AIDS epidemic) was gay and that she was not gonna like Hate me or Know smth abt me for saying it

it's just like so clear why people think those are slurs - being that they are emotionally charged words unless you spend a LOT of time dismantling that in yourself and if the people around you do the same - and if you attack people head on saying they're fucked they just think they should double down because we train these same, again, CHILDREN, who are raised on the internet (even if they're now adults who have just maintained these ideas) that any attack on what they think is Good and Right and Just is made by a Bad Person who doesn't have love and compassion in their heart. like if someone is mad at you for tw-ing something, they're an alt right redditor fuckboy who's about to call you a snowflake cuck

alternately: addressing "yes I know this is an emotionally loaded word but hey, it's just the name of my identity, and being told that's a bad word hurts my feelings" is an appeal to what these same ppl have been indoctrinated in since they started interacting with the internet: a genuine want to do good, while lacking the ability to deal with more than black and white in terms of ethics

and listen i know it's hard to not be mad but 1. i was indoctrinated in just this exact way, was predisposed to it even because black and white thinking characterizes ocd, and it's taken years of learning how to be a human to move away from that and i still dont always know what's right! WHICH IS ALSO a really important thing to always bear in mind, but that kind of indoctrination paired with cancel culture means it's a really fragile and terrified state of mind so opening things up to just instinctively react as NOT mad, instead of instinctively reacting with "fuck you" is the ONLY way to let these ppl learn, TRUST ME I HAVE BEEN AND AM ONE OF THEM

2. have you ever met someone who has changed their mind when you yelled at them. even once have you ever met someone who has done that even one single time. or is approaching with understanding always at least going to give you a chance to change their mind??? and can you kinda see how saying "well fuck you for thinking queer is a slur, you shit hell fuck destroying my identity" is black and white thinking instead of saying "I understand you're trying to do a nice thing and your intentions are good, unfortunately the consequences of these actions are sadly harmful, but you're not a bad person for doing that unintentionally, so it would just be a really great and meaningful act to change that habit" as well as "i know you should know already but it is literally possible that you have actually never heard this said from a kind voice instead of a yelling one"

I dunno yall like let's treat people who are clearly trying to do good with kindness empathy and understanding or else what are we even doing

#i mean seriously like #what are we even doing here

[yaboylevi]

What do you think about the possible fight between Eren and Levi? a lot of people are saying that and while I do think is possible since Isayama loves some drama I still think Eren was pretending to trust Zeke.

Okay, um…I had to talk this out with my friends a bit and I’m still really unsure about it but: 

We saw Zeke being very polite and kind and kinda goofy only when he was…lying, imo (Marley’s military, Pieck, Colt, Kiyomi are the first ones who come to mind). When did we feel he was saying the truth? Shiganshina. He was kinda harsh with his words, and sarcastic. And he’s being harsh and rude (mockingly polite) and sarcastic with Levi. So I think he’s being partly genuine. I say partly because who knows, really lol

Anyway, considering Eren and Levi’s relationship up until now and considering Levi didn’t react harshly to Eren mocking him in chapter 105 - I’d say Levi won’t attack Eren first and Eren has no reason to start attacking Levi now. He would do it only if Levi opposed him. But would Levi do that? He’s been talking with Zeke. He’s clearly been trying to assess Zeke’s loyalties and real thoughts. Why would Isayama spend so many pages on them? Because he wants to entertain redditors joking about zevi? I doubt it. Levi hates Zeke, so why is he even trying to make Zeke talk, as of chapter 110? Sure, it could be orders…but I don’t think so.

I think Eren wants/needs Levi as a sort of protection agaisnt the SC/the military/even Zeke, if things go awry. So he asked Levi to side with him, and/or asked Zeke to accept/bring Levi on their side. This is just a hunch based on my own theories and my own interpretation of the characters, of course, so feel free to dismiss all of this. But Eren knows Levi would be the only one ready to truly dirty his hands if it meant putting an end to this hell. The flashbacks of the timeskip showed us that Eren felt frustrated when everyone was basically pro-inactivity. Levi was the only main player keeping silent about this, not really siding with Armin or Hange… Also, the anime cut this, but I think it is fairly important to understand where Levi stands and what he’s willing to do, and Eren knows:

Eren also said the same in chapter 100. He’s willing to kill people to put an end to this hell.

Their views align, imo. They always sort of have. 

Then there’s the letter(s) that Eren sent to the SC, and I suspect Eren bringing it up only with Levi in chapter 105 so far could mean that Levi had special instructions other than him having to be the one to retrieve his sworn enemy in Marley. 

That’s why I believe there is something more between those three, like Zeke and Levi obviously don’t want to work with each other so why would they even talk? Why would Isayama keep showing us that they’re bantering, insulting each other, mocking one another but still talking about fairly important stuff? I feel like he wants us to think they could never work together, but they’re willing to reach a compromise and the twist will be that they will work alongside in the end. Again:

ch.106: Levi says he’s willing to hear about Zeke’s secret plan.

ch.108: when Armin says “…Eren is on our side.” we see Eren, then Zeke and Levi.

ch.110: Zeke says there’s not much time, Levi agrees, like he knows what’s gonna happen. Maybe he has to make a choice (to trust Zeke or not) before the time comes. My bet is Eren told him this, to make a choice, and it would be in line with their leitmotif throughout the whole story so far.

About Eren…I am not sure he’s 100% with Zeke. And I’m not sure Zeke is above betraying Eren and everyone else if he needs to…to do whatever he wants to do. Same with Eren. But Levi will side with Eren if it comes to that, of course. Anyway, I don’t see Eren and Levi fighting against one another as soon as they meet. Maybe argue/have a harsh conversation, I dont know. But Eren hasn’t purposely injured anyone from Paradis so far, I doubt he’d start now. And I mean, I think Levi’s willing to listen to Eren, again. He’s made it pretty clear.

In ch.106,  there's this panel:

It could mean nothing, but the option of helping Eren is next to Mikasa and Levi. While Hange and Armin, who have been really, really skeptical and opposed Eren in, uh, different ways, are next to the “abandon Eren” speech bubble. 

There were another 2 panels that could have the same meaning. I talked a bit about them here at the end and here. These two:

I don’t know. I think we don’t have conclusive proofs for an Eren vs Levi fight, but I’d love to hear some well-thought theories about this (because I want to suffer) but at the same time I know we don’t have final proofs for the opposite outcome. I chose to believe in what I’d be more interested in reading.
