#levi is not a different person

[maegalkarven]

"Durge came back different", "Durge didn't really come back", "the person who Durge originally was is dead" are all good takes, but what if.

If Durge came back exactly as they were? The brain damage, additional trauma and memory loss are the big altering factors, but underneath that it's still them.

They didn't change drastically, their former self is not dead.

How about one single fragile mortal soul still keeping a hold on itself, how about Durge who was never allowed anything for themselves still retaining them.

How about Durge who has lost everything: power, memories, purpose, sense of self, still being themselves, despite it all.

How about not even Orin's daggers, tadpole and Bhaal combined being able to rob them of their core? How about all of that just revealed who Durge has always been underneath all those expectations Father dearest put on them?

How about: "After all this time, it's still you."

#the dark urge #durge #dark urge #listen all these dead past selfs and loose of identity is fine and all #but i personally can't stand it because give me “me” back #give me who I am #i don't want redemption fuck your clean slate #give me the only thing I could ever dare claim as my own. return myself to me #@withers maybe SOME losers would lose their mind seeing the attocities Durge has commited. Levi is better tho. give him all of his memories #and give them NOW #levi is not a different person #not even june is a different person #it's still them how they have always been at their core #it's not regression it's not stagnation it's growing and changing #but staying yourself #levi SO recovers all of his memories #fuck what some old dude with bad hiring skills says his memories aren't lost. nothing ever truly is #june accidentially gets curses with having his memories back #maybe don't piss off powerful entities bby #levi be like: i respect all loss of identity. but I PERSONALLY hate to lose. give me myself back

actually so fascinating to me to see the difference in reaction in this fandom. the same people who were perfectly content to spread leaked information without the consent of the victim in previous situations playing coy and claiming that any speculation (not accusations, not harassment, not attempts to deplatform) into the identity of the person in question is inherently unethical and disrespectful to the victim. the same people who had shamelessly talked about the need to spread about information sourced from third party actors with personal agendas, who had explicitly gathered the information in question for bad faith purposes, in order to demand answers from a man who wasn't even the target of said allegations now preaching about how awful it is for people to use publicly available, easily accesible information to come to personal conclusions about a content creator in order to then make the decision whether or not to support him. i know that this fandom was a very different place in january 2022 but i highly doubt that time is the only thing that influenced the difference in people's reactions here, tbh.

#sorry for immediately essay andying in some of the most harrowing ways but #people are really giving shubble's ex more grace than they did for a certain other content creator #in a situation where 1) there was publicly available reason to think that the conversation being had was triggering to him #and 2) the accusations levied at a /completely different person/ didn't inherently imply that he had Any Fucking Clue #that said person did things wrong. and it literally would have been more reasonable to believe that he didn't know anything #as is often the case . with situations like these. #but you know don't speculate :) don't you dare bring up [name] becaus doing so is disrespectful :]

That's what he did

#levi ackerman #zeke yeager #zeke jaeger #survey corps #scouts #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #he avenged all his comrades' deaths #a large amount of them were zeke related in different forms #still believe he puts his marley issues all on zeke #making it easier to just target one person instead of everyone

Ooogh alien rock people concept...

[Concept art below cut]

I shake these in front of you like they're dog treats/j

^ these are in chronological order from made first to made last

#levys art #levy draws #levys oc #oc #my art #inspired by su!!!! #gemstone aliens #go brrr #i really liked the concept of living gemstones/rocks #though i leaned into just gemstones here #kinda :/ that i didn't really showcase much of the different kinds of them but oh well #my wrist hurts okay #this story thing is related to another thing of mine that's inspired by voltron!!!! #thought that i might as well merge the two space set story ideas #the characters all have names ages and vague ideas of personalities! maybe ill ramble about em one day

just finished part 5 of jjba & spoiler ig, but the main villain canonically has DID/MPD & while that is problematic & the presentation of DID is also inaccurate ect ect, as a DID system, we were all pointing at him like

Literally us fr

#doppio being absolutely bonkers like me fr #at least they mentioned DID is a childhood trauma disorder #but they descibe it as if there's always only two 'personalities' #and they have two different souls that travel bodies via magic at one point #but the magic is separate from the DID #the DID is presented as a mental issue from trauma #also their stand has dissociative amnesia vibes #because it can skip time for other people #and they dont feel like it skipped #but can see it through evidence that stuff has changed #sry having a nerd moment #ours #levi here #yo its sof #tw drawn blood

i want to share a specific au of mine but im like. scared

(more of the rant in the tags, important ig)

#ninjago #i obviously dont mind if people wont like it/dont care abt it especially since its like. #a kid au #where nya and jay unexpectedly have a kid after s10 #im rlly scared to post abt it but i have so many ideas in my head and my adhd ass cant handle ranting to myself #especially with how me n my bestie have been so busy lately we never talk #plus our different timezones #if any of u guys even just one person wants to hear abt it ill try my best #im also attempting to improve my writing skills. they suck #art and summaries will probably be more frequent until i ever decide to make a fic or smth #by now actually your free to ask questions since abt anything regarding the au since i dont want to do a summary just yet #ninjago jay #ninjago nya #jay walker #nya jiang #levi's ted talks #also if this post flops act like u never saw it

I think I’m in love with Hange

#attack on titan #hange zoe #but I also love Levi #levi ackerman #one of my toxic friends had their contact name as Levi Ackerman and it gives me flashbacks whenever I think of him #also I’ve blocked this person and they moved away so I don’t have to deal with them anymore #they always got mad over stupid shit too #but I still love Levi #and Hange #their characters are so different and yet they both my favorites

[spaceagebachelorbutch]

Some cool people’s cool choirsonas!! Levi belongs to @fireworkss-exe, Conner is @luckynature’s, and Gail is @blossomgutz’s :D

#they are all babygirl. to me #these three all have very fun differing personalities i would love to see them interact #levi gilmore #conner donahue #gail tofte #choirsona #choirsonas #ALSO i drew conner's sleeves like that accidentally but decided to keep it in as a character choice. he would think he's so cool and quirky

Also the reason I write Gortash so obsessed with Durge and literally holding them above everyone else is because

Imagine: You meet a child of god. A child of cruel and evil god who is an awful murderer. Killing is their Sole Purpose, the reason why they were even created.

And that person one day REFUSES their father, their GOD. Why? Because of you. A child of god defies a god for you. They are made for killing but refuse to kill YOU when their god commands them to.

They get betrayed and disgraced because of you. You think they're dead. BECAUSE they chose you over everything else.

And then they return and alright, the memory is lost, but it's still them. You know it's them.

Like imagine the power trip Gortash had to have upon the revelation what Durge disobeyed their god for HIM.

Of course he'd be obsessed. The child of god said only he matters.

#durgetash #the dark urge x enver gortash #dark urge x gortash #listen they fit in a way what works only for them #someone else would fall short for gortash. but durge? durge is his perfect match #they do not exist without another they affected each other too much #changed each other too drastically #mutual destruction and mutual salvation #they truly need no one else but each other #obv it applies to my durges your durges can be different bc they're yours #but yeah that's true for my three durges they and gortash are inseparable #“often bought together” #“do not separate them” #Gortash often is the only person who can keep levi in check

I suppose you receive like... a lot of love confession messages as a celebrity from random people. Do you keep these messages? Did anyone ever include gifts like chocolate or something eatable? If so, do you eat them or you'd rather be cautious? Someone might have poisoned it.

I'm popular enough. If it's good for Survey Corps funding, then I put up with most of it... But it's the cause of many awkward situations I end up in. Mostly from random strangers. Even though they think they're being genuine, someone who knows me as far as what I look like riding my horse has no idea what they're thinking when they give me things.

If it's chocolate or something... I let Hange have at it. Sasha sucks up anything edible put in front of her. I share the poetry with Erwin... I have a scrapbook of dried flowers that has personal meaning for me, so if it's flowers, I'll keep some of them. Watching them die otherwise is depressing. Sometimes the gifts are something I find use for, though.

The first couple of edible gifts I got might as well have been tampered with or something... But I figured out the flattery is meant to, flatter me, and it's a waste of food otherwise.

It's all annoying to an extent, but I appreciate people who give me something, even if I have no use for it. It's not like they want to offend me.

I feel like some of yall who talk about polyamory dont actually know what "bringing another person into our relationship" actually means cause it is so much more complicated than that and includes alot more than just one person dating more people.

Heres your image: person a and person b are in a relationship while person c is dating person a with everyone's knowing consent.

That is not bringing someone "into your relationship" because person c has no influence on the relationship between person a and person b. They dont have any chips on the table. They dont have any say in their long term decisions such as children, marriage or moving situations. Person c may know about it and it may affect them to a mild degree but they dont have any say in that relationship.

Next image: person a and person b are in a relationship while person c is dating both person a and person b with everyone's knowing consent.

This is also not " bringing someone into your relationship" as the relationship between person a and person c as well as the relationship between person b and person c dose not interact with the relationship between person a and person b. These can still be 3 different relationships and person c still dosent have a say in what person a and person b decide.

Imagine this relationship as three pegs sticking out of a piece of wood with a rubber band wrapped between each peg. Although there are places where the rubber bands attacted to peg/person c do just barely touch the rubber band between peg/person a and peg/person b, peg/person c still isnt in that rubber band. They are still excluded.

The only time your genuinely "bringing someone into the relationship" is when you get rid of all the little rubber bands and wrap all three pegs/people in one big rubber band. This means that person c dose have a say in what happens and although there still are remininets of the other rubber bands that binded each person to one other person, all persons are mostly dependent and loving towards the big rubber band that binds them all together as 3 instead of 2+.

So yes, there is a difference between both members of a couple dating the same person and bringing someone in your existing relationship to become 3. Yes you can still have the little things that only exist between 2 partners but the main relationship is 3 people. Your a throuple, not just 2 people dating the same third person.

I know its kinda complicated but theres a difference in my opinion between seeing yourself as dating 2 people seperately and being all together as a throuple.

#levi speaks #polyam #polyam relationship #polyamourous #polyamory #polyam tag #polyam positivity #throuple vs 2 people dating the same person #2+1=3 and so dose 1+1+1=3 but the way you get there is different #and to me its important ig #like if me and my gf at dating the same person we arnt automatically a throuple #i would personally want it to turn into a throuple but not everyone agrees #a throuple is three people together while the other is 3 different realtionships #and although many throuples have those mini realtionships its still mostly about being 3 instead of 2 and not different realtiomships #throuple

god i forgot how fuckin cathartic/painful the end of htn is as someone who grew up very christian and that counts from harrow AND gideon's povs. you spent your entire life (serving god/trying to run from him) and in the end it turns out he's just some asshole with too much power who's been alive for too long. yes, god is powerful, but you have power over him by virtue of being a real fucking person, which is something he could only ever dream of. you were right- god is a fucking asshole and we're going to kill him. god is your parent and you'll watch him be eviscerated in front of you. god would let his best friends watch the only people they loved die and pretend it was necessary for ten thousand years. god killed an entire planet for you to stand where you stand today. you are the undoing of god. etc etc

#htn turns levi silverislander into a puddle on the floor part 7854923721 #levi.doc #AND IM NOT EVEN CATHOLIC #like... yeah i spent almost two decades of my childhood worshipping him and in the end it was worth fucking nothing #would i be a different person if i hadnt been taught that god is my father. would it be worth it #im not even an atheist i just dont think he deserves the credit he gets if hes out there #anyway. im so normal about the locked tomb and i do not relate to harrow in a terrifyingly strong manner #christianity tw #probably will delete this later bc im scared of it Being Found :)

erwin will always be my son, he is just so compelling. people are always saying that he should have survived, he wouldn't let xyz happen, he got snubbed and all i can say is that you know nothing... if he survived a) his character wouldn't make sense b) the tragedy and pathos that define him would have been severely undercut and c) it just would suck narratively because he literally died seconds before everything went to shit

#'but levi-' levi doing that for him is THE reason they were fate bound and their dynamic is as good as it is #for a series where the cruelty of fate is thrown around all the time the audience is so... como se dice... stupit #give up your hearts and fight... sacrifices need to be made and people will die for the greater goal. and he was no different! #snake biting its tail. AND the one who sacrificed him had to be the person who loved him the most in the world #and he did it for erwin's sake #to free him from this nightmare to free him from himself. even though levi loved him and they all needed him #🤌 my only son. you'll always be famous. waaaah that plot line was so good erwin is so good
