time for the token pact mark hcs every obey me writing account has!!
kinda 18+ on asmo's section but not in the way u think.
mammon's pact mark came first, and you couldn't say you were surprised when it showed up on the palm of your dominant hand. circular, not too intricate, shining yellow; it wasn't exactly hard to miss but it wasn't too obvious, compared to the ones you would gather along the way. mammon still finds every chance to hold your hand, trace his sigil – hell, even high five you – so he can feel his power merged with your energy (his favourite is when you cup his face with that hand, but of course he won't admit it).
leviathan's showed up on your sternum – an interesting spot, you thought, but rolled with it either way. it was only when you felt envy for the first time after your pact that you realised it weighs down more on your chest than any other spot on your body. did you kinda feel like iron man, walking around with an orange circle in the middle of your chest? yeah. did you thank whoever decided the mark would show up there when levi cuddled his face into your sternum to feel your combined energy before he fell asleep? yeah <3.
beelzebub's showed up on your tongue, and no matter how obvious the spot is you just couldn't find it the first few days?? like okay pact is here but here where?? then you yawned in front of a mirror by chance and almost gave yourself whiplash cause why was your tongue bleeding?? upon further inspection, you concluded it was just a pact mark! long, branching out like the roots of a tree, like lightning, from the back to the front of your tongue, it looked sick. now, did you start taking selfies with your tongue out because of a newfound bad boy look or was it because you wanted to show off your demon – that is up to the audience's interpretation.
asmodeus gave you a tramp stamp. a fucking tramp stamp. you don't even know whether to laugh or cry the first time you see it in all its pink glory, so you do neither. you call solomon. you ask him where his pact mark is. he answers "on my lower back, right above my ass". you hang up the phone. asmo later on explains that he's doing you a favour by getting you into 2000s fashion, and that you should be glad the pact mark showed up there, and not on the spot the beings he doesn't have romantic feelings for get it. you don't ask where that is, but you do start wearing more low rise clothes. asmo's home screen after that is him hugging your ass after he put you in his juicy sweatpants with the bedazzled JUICY on them, pact mark on full display.
satan's pact mark is on your temples – two small, spiked circle sigils, green as his sin's colour. he says you look hot when you get mad and they light up, and when you roll your eyes at him he reassures you that you look just as badass, too. the one time you watched back a video leviathan took of you failing to beat a boss for what felt the hundredth time on the newest game he bought, you understood what satan meant. if you're the type of person to cry while angry, your red eyes make the green marks show up even more – satan says during those moments you look like a siren, and you accept it with a bashful nod. it would be improper to deny a compliment from a demon lord, anyway.
belphegor's mark showed up on your nape. you're bummed out about not being able to see it when you'd like, but he says it's fine. really, who wouldn't be overjoyed about having purple, star-like freckles at the back of their neck, right? especially when your demon says they remind him of the sky in the human world, hence the design and detail that was put into it. sometimes, belphegor likes to fall asleep while spooning you and kissing the stars on your nape. will he admit it? nah. but you know, and he knows, and that's enough (he's usually asleep after the 11th star. yes, you counted).
lucifer gave you the longest mark you had, starting from the top of your neck, and dropping down between your collar bones. it looked like a very intricate dagger, with a carved blade, the tip of it resting at the spot where your ribcage starts. when you asked him about it, he told you that pride, the sin and the feeling both, demands of you to keep your head up. hold your head down, submit, show humility, and you miss it. and so, you kept your head up. it wasn't like lucifer carelessly handed out pacts and emotional bonds with the beings of any realm – and you couldn't say you disliked when his eyes trailed down to your neck before returning to your eyes again, with a softer look this time.
gonna close this by saying that the only pact mark placements I've seen are on mc's back, placed in a sigil wheel, or one atop the other in a line on their spine. still, if someone has said what I said before me, tell me so i can credit them!

can you elaborate more on steve being abandoned by the narrative?
yes <3 so i think there are two very unfortunate circumstances surrounding steve's character that have led to the current state of his plotline: 1. after not killing him in s1 like they originally planned, the duffers have never really had a plan for steve and 2. they are extremely influenced by audiences. when they were conceptualizing steve to fit in among the ensemble cast, the duffers were picturing him as a douchey boyfriend who unceremoniously dies. lonnie was originally going to come back to the byers house to save jonathan and nancy. there was no need to picture where he'd be 4 seasons down the road, so they just didn't account for that. then joe keery charmed them so hard that they literally couldn't bear to kill him, so steve ends season one still somehow alive.
but we've already established the nancy/jonathan plotline, because jonathan was once the duffers' self-insert who must defeat the evil jock and win over the girl. they couldn't just backpedal on that right away, so they needed to give nancy and jonathan a plotline alone, away from steve. but steve only ever functioned as an extension of nancy until this point, so what do we do with steve now? in an accidental stroke of genius that the duffers have admitted was a last second decision, they pair him with the children and make him into a babysitter. it almost instantly boosts steve into being tied with hopper and el for most popular character from the show, potentially even beats them both out. in 2017 when s2 aired, you could not escape mom steve jokes. it was everywhere, steve was everywhere, joe was everywhere, it was arguably the second coming of #justice for barb, which, in netflix business-y terms, was the exact viral meme type situation that the show wanted and needed to sell merch and remain relevant and say "see we still got it!!!"
you know who has the 2nd most lines in the entirety of season three? directly behind hopper? ahead of winona ryder? steve. think for a second about how absolutely insane that is. the character who was written specifically to die in season one. joe keery's name wasn't even in the season one credits, because he wasn't considered a series regular. and now he has the 2nd most spoken lines in the big blockbuster season because he rocketed up in popularity so intensely. season three marketing features the mall so heavily, creates a literal physical shrine to 80s nostalgia, and when the very first promo is released an entire year before the season airs, who's the star of that teaser trailer? and who, pray tell, is featured in the main brand sponsorship ad that plays in movie theaters worldwide? thats right its america's little darling steve harrington.
but here is the issue. the duffers look at what made steve popular and they see: funny exasperated babysitter, heartthrob action hero. they're like oh okay so we should keep putting him directly in the center of the action, bang him up every season to give him his classic bloodied aesthetic, but. he still needs to be funny. we can almost kill him, but we can't actually kill him because he's profitable. we can let him get horrifically injured because it's badass, but we still gotta let him crack jokes. it creates this very weird tone to steve's role in the story starting in season 3 because he's both the action hero and the comedic relief and protected by plot armor, so we get scenes where he's being literally tortured until he's begging for his life and gasping for breath but the tone is still.......fun? comedic? light and goofy? i think the duffers also forgot he's supposed to be a teenager.
now this is partially me making educated guesses but i feel pretty confident about this: once again, like gollum, joe keery uses his big shiny eyes and manages to evade death again in season four by being so likable and charming and marketable that netflix execs or shawn levy or maybe even the duffers themselves were like oh fuck we just can't do it. they were obviously tossing around the idea of taking mom steve all the way by letting him die sacrificially for dustin, so in season four they make eddie, transfer steve's relationship with dustin directly onto him, ctrl f steve's name in the death scene and just type in eddie instead, and once again steve is alive but he's directionless.
so what does he have now, in season four? i think the duffers have a whiteboard somewhere with steve's name and around it are little circles that say "funny" "cool" "DO NOT KILL" and steve is now stuck in this endless cycle of getting beaten up, popping back up somehow unharmed like a looney tune, saying something cute and oblivious, rinse and repeat. because that's what worked, that's what made him popular all the way back in season two. that's what the duffers are obviously keeping in mind when they're writing steve: popularity. not realism, not depth, not growth, just literally how to continue making him popular. meanwhile, other characters get to be part of the actual story. other characters get to serve a purpose other than selling merch. when el is bitten by a monster, she gets to actually feel pain and need help because that's realistically what any human would need. when hopper is tortured, he gets to suffer and ponder his existence and reflect on the relationships in his life. steve never gets any of that, because the writers just don't see steve as the 19 year old boy on his 4th straight year of traumatic events that he actually is.
they literally just see him as a money maker, there for cool viral moments and witty lines and maybe the occasional emotion experienced but only if it's about his romantic prospects. and the narrative that other characters get to have and be apart of just kinda runs parallel to steve. he's there, technically, but he's not really in the story. and it's like actually crazy because you'd think after all the funko pops he sold, he'd have earned an actual storyline!!!

Thank you so much anon. I've been feeling very negative these days, so it means a lot to know you're enjoying what I make.
Tumblr media
Behind the camera
Levi x fem!reader
Modern AU, fluff, romance, being a couple, model reader, no body specific reader.
Levi is a fashion designer and you are his personal model.
@ladycheesington @levisbrat25 @nyxiieluna @li-anne @galactict3a @youre-ackermine @thebobaprincess @2moth-anon2 @cypidity @nbinairyn @bts-spnlvr12 @darkstarlight82 @emilyyyy-08 @notgoodforlife @demonic-bird
Tumblr media
Confidence rolled off you as you posed for the cameras. People commented that the clothes were just made for you, which they would be very right. Levi was the designer and every single thing on your body was made just for you.
You had started off as Levi's assistant, then he asked you to model his clothes because you inspired him and then he realised that you were so inspiring because he was madly in love with you. Levi confessed his love and you became a couple. Most would be shocked at Levi because it took you two about four months to become a couple.
Levi had moved fast, which wasn't like him. However, he knew he wanted you, he knew he loved you, he knew you were his forever and he wasn't just gonna let that slip through his fingers. Now you were a year into your love and he had already picked out a ring for your engagement, he just needed to set up a perfect day.
He made a few notes on your outfit and thought about something else he could dress you up in. He gave you a gentle smile as you posed in such an alluring way, it just drove him crazy with love. He could see you were enjoying yourself as you worked.
The photographer ended the shoot and showered you with praise. As soon as he started talking to you your true adorable nature came out. He shook your hand. "Thank you so much. It's been a joy working for you."
You felt your heart race. "R-Really? You're too kind. Umm. It was an honour to have you as a photographer. You're incredible. You make anything look beautiful." You fidgetted a little. "C-can I get you a drink or something to eat? You must be so tired."
He blushed at your words. "Oh, I'm okay, don't worry."
You hurried over to the small fridge. "I've got an ice cold water here or a diet coke?"
He chuckled. "A coke would do great."
You opened it and handed it over. "You should get some sugar in you too. Have a cookie."
"You are so sweet."
Levi made his way over to you and called your name. "Don't forget about yourself."
You gasped in shock. "Oh! You're right."
He opened a can for you and handed it over. "Drink this. You should also take a seat as well, okay?"
"Ah, but everyone..."
He ushered you to a comfy seat. "Focus on yourself, okay?" He knelt and slipped your heels off. "You're important." He massaged your feet. "It's a good job I'm very focused on you, otherwise you'd be very sick."
You hummed a laugh. "You care so much about me."
He leaned up and kissed you. "Of course. You're my world."
"You're mine. I wouldn't be doing this job if it weren't for you. I count my blessings every day."
He glided his hands up your leg. "Darling, you are more magical than you think." He smiled a little at you. "We're going out for dinner tonight. I'm going to take you to the place we went to on our first date."
You squeaked. "Yay! I love that place."
Levi took your hands and showered them with kisses. "I love it too. We'll make tonight special." Tonight was the night, he was going to ask you to marry him.

i've seen actually a few different people/users leave comments or tags about wanting to check out scavenger's reign after seeing my glowing praise of it, but also being very nervous to do so, because they're excited for a lesbian who looks like them (azi), but despite my gushing, i keep mentioning how the show is full of body horror, brutal deaths and characters having a bad time;
this is a very valid concern to have, given how a character like azi might be treated in another show, i was going in with tempered caution as well
Tumblr media
without spoiling too much, you can lay those worries down. the show treats her very well.
if you'd like some more elaboration, i've put it under this readmore!
azi is put into stomach-churningly dire "an alien is about to eat you/do a big big body horror/assimilate you" situations the least of any of the characters, and not even because she's being given a lack of stuff to do/experience in the plot!
i think we only see her get "afflicted" by something the way sam does once, and its very mild compared to everyone else (basically she gets a really bad itchy rash after successfully prying some weird would-be paralytic puffballs that get stuck to her) and even this one instance is quickly resolved by other fauna, in a very nice sequence of scenes that is clearly a healing/relaxing experience for her.
while she is put into danger and is trying to survive like everyone else, she gets tossed about in action setpieces she makes it through with minimal injury, more than enduring The Horrors;
she gets to have better luck because more of her narrative screentime is, by design, already dedicated to emotionally bonding with her robot buddy, levi, as they suddenly and rapidly attain self-awareness, and levi encourages her to find the beauty and harmony in this nightmarish nature documentary they got marooned in.
this helps her lighten up just in time, too, because she is, very understandably, stressed almost to her breaking point by the point the show starts, having one of the better crash landing sites of any of the survivors, and i bet the other survivors all wish they had a robot tagging along to help, but being stranded and lonely and trying to not lose hope of rescue. she misses her girlfriend, and is feeling increasingly vulnerable (negative) and afraid, especially when situations occur where she gets reminded she does need help. azi starts the series being kind of mean to levi, and having to balance her confusion, worry, and then awe of levi's transformation, and let herself accept she does need that help.
azi is not the gruff grr nothing phases me nothing hurts me the writers dont have to try giving me depth i'm just the badass butch who exists to fill the death quota later so a lighter/more fem character can survive;
her vulnerability reveals itself without much fuss, and is eventually tended to both by herself and others. we get flashbacks that show she was naturally introverted, but clearly wanting to overcome that in order to socialize and get closer to someone (girls...)
she goes through it for other reasons, but i promise you, the show treats her very well, i feel. she and levi are probably-nah, definitely, my favorite characters in it, and the show would not have blown me away the way it did without them here
SR has 3 main story threads; Azi and Levi, Sam and Ursula, Kamen and The Hollow. of the three, Azi and Levi's is the heart, and is the most romantic, in multiple senses of the term. i might right a breakdown of what i love most about all three threads? but yeah
now, if you still need the "okay but does she or her gf die" y/n:
.
.
.
.
azi and her girlfriend both survive the events of the show, and reunite in one piece! they may or may not throuple up with the robot.
i sure hope they do.
you can't tease us with scenes like this and Not
Tumblr media
OH: also, when a new antagonist shows up later in the form of a lethally pragmatic blonde woman named Kris who tries to boss azi around, i did get nervous, but Azi soured to max on her and spoke exactly what i hoped was the intent at the exact moment i felt it was critical to avoid me going "hrrmmm don't like these Implications" (the Instant azi detects blondie is trying to haze her into being a new teammate to be bossed around, azi immediately gets rightfully pissed and rejects it, and schemes to get the tagalong kid to see this also and on azi's side in the long run, which plays out and kris gets rapidly shuttled out of the plot and then pretty damn well humbled in the only blatant Sequel Hook present. i Appreciated that. Would have loved to love you Kris I love evil women but then you pulled That Stunt and now you can go wither alone in the corner

Request:
Could you bullet-style head cannons about Mc having a snake as a pet? Or just any scary/unusual animal if you don’t want to zero in on just snakes.
Have a nice day/afternoon/night!
Hi there, anon!
Okay assuming we're in the OG timeline lol and MC has their snake in the House of Lamentation, here are the brothers' reactions!
Thanks for the request!
Tumblr media
the brothers react to GN!MC's pet snake
Warnings: Um, well, there's the snake? But otherwise none lol.
Tumblr media
Lucifer
Not another one. He's been through this with the first Henry. Lucifer doesn't dislike snakes or anything, but he wants to be sure this one won't get enormous in size. If you're able to reassure him that this is just a normal snake that won't grow into a giant, then he's going to be fine with it.
Might think it's a little weird. Aren't snakes dangerous for humans? You might have to explain why you can keep this particular snake as a pet and that he doesn't need to worry about your safety.
He's going to be very strict about snake habitat maintenance. Consider this one of your regular chores, MC. Don't think he's going to let you keep a snake in the House of Lamentation without making sure you keep the tank clean.
Has no fear of snakes, though, so if it escapes its tank or something you can count on him. There's no way he's going to let it slither around the house for very long. Finds it almost immediately and returns it to you. Scolds you to be more careful and make sure the snake is always secure.
Mammon
He's not afraid of snakes! No, really! He's not! He probably isn't too scared of them, but they do make him a little nervous. Especially if he thinks that you're in any danger. Asks you a lot of questions about whether your snake has venom and if it's really okay for you to be holding it.
If you clearly care about the snake, Mammon will kinda end up caring about it, too. He gets comfortable with the snake, holding it and feeding it. Acts like it's no big deal. Of course he doesn't love MC's snake! He's just ready to help take care of it, that's all!
He might also have to be reassured that the snake will not get huge, but as long as it stays a normal snake size, he's gonna be cool with it. He actually thinks you look really cool with it. He knows that snakes are normally considered dangerous and scary, but the way you let it slither around your neck is pretty badass.
You can be sure he's going to buy your snake things, though. Do they make collars for snakes? Probably not, but he would get one made if you wanted it! He's also gonna buy you snake themed things. Expect a lot of snake shaped jewelry. He probably really likes those snake shaped rings that take up half your finger.
Leviathan
MC! You have a pet snake?! Oh boy, you've made his whole life complete. As if Levi didn't already love you enough, this is just going to send him over the moon. He's so obsessed with your snake, he wants to know all about it. Tell him how you got it, what its name is, what kind of snake it is, what does it eat, etc.
He wants to hang out with you and your snake all the time. Absolutely happy to help you take care of it, whether that's cleaning the tank or feeding it. Probably knows a lot about the best way to care for snakes. Might even have some of Henry 1.0's old things if you need or want them.
Really ends up bonding with your snake. You might start feeling like the snake likes Levi more than it likes you. But Levi will tell you this is not the case. He and the snake both love you very much. Might get the courage to tell you that to your face just to reassure you.
Gets a little nostalgic for the days when he had his own pet snake. Might reminisce about it to you. Just don't let him take the snake with him to the labyrinth under the castle to visit Henry 1.0. That will likely end in a disaster you will need to rescue them from.
Satan
He might have been worried about your safety except that he likely knows all about the type of snake you have as a pet. He does think it's a little weird. Wouldn't you rather have a soft sweet cat as a pet? Though there is a ban on cats in the House of Lamentation, so maybe it's better you have a snake.
Obviously he gives you books that are about the type of snake you have as a pet. Don't worry, he already read them all. He’ll be happy to discuss everything in them with you once you’ve read them.
Trusts that you’re going to maintain your snake’s diet and habitat, but has ideas for how to make them better. Likely has done some research into best snake keeping practices. Just wants to help you with something that you clearly care about.
Tries to befriend the snake. Likely does a decent job, but has to learn that it doesn’t act like a cat would. But Satan is good at figuring things out and he always listens to you when you tell him what to do. The snake becomes attached and now he’s thrilled. Look, MC! Your snake came over and wrapped itself around him!
Asmodeus
He has the best idea ever: snake themed fashion show. Don’t worry, MC! He’s not going to make you wear snakeskin boots or anything like that! He’s thinking about snake motifs and using the snake itself as an accessory. He’s going to dress you up, drape the snake across your shoulders, and take a ton of pictures.
If your snake is cool with it and it’s okay with you, Asmo will design little snake outfits for it. Mostly consists of adorable little hats. You guys take pictures and post them on Devilgram. Your snake becomes a famous internet pet celebrity.
Not at all afraid of your snake. As long as it stays a normal size and he doesn’t have to charm it into submission, he thinks it’s cute. Look at that adorable little tongue! Those shiny scales!
Gives you gifts for your snake - he has ideas for making your snake’s tank look amazing. Also tends to buy you cute snake themed things when he find them. If he find something that has both a snake and a scorpion, he will get it for you immediately.
Beelzebub
Make sure he understands that this is a snake and not a slithering sausage. Show him how to identify the difference and he will make sure he doesn’t accidentally eat your pet. He might think about how best to cook it still, but will keep it to himself so as not to upset you.
Actually quite good with the snake. He’s not afraid of it at all but it does remind him of various foods. So whenever he spends too much time with it, he has to go find something to eat like noodles.
Enjoys watching the snake eat - look at how big its mouth gets, MC! He kinda wishes he could unhinge his jaw like that. Think about how much more he could eat if he had that ability. Might even try to find a way to make it possible. There has to be some kind of spell for that, right?
Gets a little protective of your snake. You love it so he also loves it. Doesn’t want anyone to step on it by accident. Content to let the snake hang out on his shoulder. That way nobody will step on it and he’s less likely to eat it, too.
Belphegor
Makes fun of you for having a weird pet. What kinda human wants a pet snake? Makes fun of you for having a pet so Levi-themed. Are you gonna get a pet sea serpent next, MC? It's all lighthearted, of course, but he can't pass up the opportunity.
Doesn’t care that it could be dangerous. Thinks you must be okay with it so why should he be concerned? You clearly love your snake and that’s pretty cute so he’s cool with it.
Turns out the snake is a good nap partner. It just coils up on his back or stomach and then if anybody tells him he needs to get up, he can say he can’t disturb the snake. It’s the perfect excuse. Leave him alone, can't you see the snake is asleep? It gets cranky if you wake it up. (Just like him.)
If your snake has a heat lamp, he’s going to sleep next to it all the time. It’s so warm and cozy. Belphie just wants to snuggle up next to your snake’s warm tank and snooze the day away. You'll probably find him in your room snoring away next to it on a regular basis.

I showed Asmo and Sosha redesign in another post, but i hope you are not angry at me for that😇
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
CHANGES:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucifuk
-Since he is staying up all night, i made his clothes more messy. Yeah, now he looks like single mother of 6. I feel like nights at Devildom should be hella cold. So i now his clothes are warmer.
-Glasses.
-More blue. He still have a lot of Gold and Red, but now you can see at least a little bit of his sin colour.
Mammy
-I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE that Mammon is that type of ppl who would wear EVERY SINGLE gold thing he has, just to look more rich.
-Also i think he would wear some stupid accessory, like eyepatch and thinking he looks cool and badass. But he actually looks good with eyepatch tho-
-His skin is darker now, he have some gold/yellow hair strands and piercings. Yeah this dude feels like piercing lover. Maybe he also have tattoo or smth.
Leviafish
-Another character who have 0 of his sin's colour on their orig design. Now he has some orange.
-He is otaku, he DEFINITELY don't have time to get a haircut! And long hair Levi sounds good.
-His orig design was gamer. THIS ONE IS A NERD OTAKU! Some anime accessories, hair clips, stickers, HELL YEAH.
Catan
-Satan is just Lucifer's wrath, this would be logical if they had similar appearance. And, this would make Satan even MORE angry.
-Braid... it has no explanation. I just gave him braid because i wanted.
-Now he looks less ugly + his outfit has cats now.
MY♡SWEET♡LITTLE♡HONEYBUN♡CUTE♡PUP♡LOVELY♡HUN♡BEST♡BOY♡PRECIOUS♡HUSBAND♡ANDGORGEOUS♡QUEEEN♡ASSMODEUS!!!♡♡♡♡♡

-Eyebrow piercing... Sorry, but it cools sooo cool on him! Also tattoo!
Belfukgore
-Another person who doesn't have enough time for haircut, so half-long hair. He is constantly sleeping, so his hair is messy.
-His orig design is not sleepy enough! Now he is wearing pijama. Yeas, i am extra.
-Also yes, this transparent porpol-red thing makes no sense. But it looks hella cool!

Hi there! I've got a high school castes Levihan prompt for you, should you choose to receive it.
It's based on the 'I was talking crap about teacher A to teacher B and here they are at Target holding hands' idea! Maybe in this version Hange's a science teacher and Levi is the neurotic janitor. Who would have sensed the danger in venting about the janitor's psychotic standards on cleanliness and school rules to Hange? Who would have thought that those 2, in fact, had a little secret something going on...? Looking forward to what you come up with!
Tumblr media
Jean is fucked.
Jean is so, so fucked, and not even in the good way, not in the way he would have preferred to, not by a certain gorgeous black-haired beauty with eyes as magnificent as dark sky on a cloudless night, who would absolutely destroy him, at least, according to the fantasies that replay through his mind every time he makes it (and his hand) wander.
No, he's fucked in a cruel, merciless way, in a way that makes his knees tremble and his heart beat way too fast at the mere thought about it.
Honestly, Jean kinda wants to run straight to his mother, to hide behind her back and bury himself in her warm and safe (and that is his absolute priority) arms.
But he is seventeen years old, he's all grown-up. Wise beyond his years. Smart, incredibly brave. And very, very handsome. If his mother is to be believed. Which she absolutely must be. She wouldn't lie to him, right?
After all, mothers know their children best and all that.
So, grown-up, smart, incredibly brave and very, very handsome Jean doesn't allow himself to seek protection. He doesn't rush in his mother's arms, doesn't hide or quiver. He stands up tall, looks the danger right into its eyes, and-
Runs as far from it as fast he can, abandoning the snacks he's been craving throughout the whole day.
He'll probably have to later apologize about it to the poor girl, who tirelessly works at this store. He will do just that, beg her for forgiveness, get on his knees if she'd wish to, even volunteer to cover a shift or two for her.
But right now- his life is in grave danger, and Jean runs away, forgetting about sense, logic, honor and all those things that his mother was trying so hard to breed in him.
He runs until he's out of breath, until his legs all but give out. And stops only, when a familiar-looking house appears in his view.
It's Yeager's, because of course it is. Evidently, it's yet another sign that the universe is set on absolutely crushing him. Perhaps, it's a punishment, Jean thinks, for his incredible wit and unbelievably good looks.
But beggars can't be choosers, so loathe Eren though he does, Jean still knocks on the door of his house. Eren might be his mortal enemy and a jerk with a stupid face and ugly mouth that constantly spills out some bullshit, but Jean's situation is nothing short of dire, and he absolutely must vent his frustrations out to someone. And if fate decided that Yeager will be the one fulfilling the role of a willing listener, then so be it.
He can always punch that dickhead later, after he pours his heart and soul out to him.
It doesn't take long for his knocking to be answered, and, unexpectedly, Eren is not the one to open the door.
It's Mikasa, badass and beautiful Mikasa, who sets Jean's heart aflame like no other living person does. Even now, the sight of her takes his breath away, makes his heart flutter in a way it always does in her presence, although the glorious sensation is somewhat dulled by a prickle of resentment.
What is Mikasa doing at Yeager's house? Why does she never visit Jean? Are these two really-
His suspicions halt, as Mikasa's forehead creases with worry, and she asks in that gorgeous, deep voice of hers,
"Jean? Is everything alright?"
Mikasa's concern warms his heart, but the memory of the events that led him here serves as the metaphorical bucket of cold water that twists Jean's insides into a knot.
But he can't very well show it, not to Mikasa, the girl of his dreams, the absolute queen of his heart.
"Of course!" he lies blatantly, feeling proud - his voice didn't even waver, he didn't sound like that same pride is the only thing stopping him from bursting into tears. Good job, he congratulates himself after managing to put a hopefully convincing enough smile. "I just stopped by for- for a quick chat."
Mikasa's frown deepens. "With Eren?"
"Naturally," Jean says, before he can stop himself. "Me and him, we're great friends."
"If you say so..." Mikasa mumbles, sounding not at all convinced. But she does let him inside the house, and on a day that's already going horribly for him, Jean decides to count it as a win.
He follows Mikasa to Eren's room upstairs, and finds that she's not the only guest. Armin, Sasha and Connie are there too.
So all of them are hanging out together? And no one thought to invite him as well? What a bunch of traitors.
"Yo, Jean!" Sasha waves at him. She's lying on Eren's bed with her feet propped against the wall and head hanging upside down, and Jean debates if he should comment on it, but promptly decides against it. It's not the weirdest thing he's seen today, and definitely not the weirdest thing he's seen Sasha do.
"Hey, dude!" Connie turns to greet him too, eyeing him with an uncharacteristically thoughtful expression on his face. "Are you good?"
"You do look a little pale..." Armin chimes in.
Eren's the only one who doesn't at all react to Jean's arrival, opting to just glare menacingly at him. But he doesn't even try to throw him out of his house, and Jean is already grateful for that. If Eren wishes to just stare at him, that's more than fine with him. He's too emotionally drained to start another argument or even glare back at the boy.
He plops down on the floor next to Connie, and sighs so loudly and wearily that all eyes are instantly glued to him.
"Guys..." he begins, "There is something I need to tell you..."
"Oh!" Connie reacts instantly, beaming like it's a Christmas day. "You finally decided to come clean about your crush on Mikasa?"
Very quickly the room goes very quiet. And still. Jean promptly averts his eyes, doing all he can to summon a hole that will hopefully swallow him whole, while Mikasa fidgets with her skirt, a blush that Jean would have found absolutely breathtaking had he had the courage to look up at her, rapidly spreading on the apple of her cheeks.
"You idiot! That was supposed to be a secret!" Sasha hisses, smacking Connie's head. She probably meant to say it quietly, in a whisper that no one but Connie would be able to hear, but the universe hates Jean, so, of course, the whole room hears it.
The silence gets even more excruciating. It really is the worst day of his life. Jean can't even find it in himself to get mad at two dimwits he for some reason considers to be his best friends. He doesn't feel embarrassed too, not too much anyway.Mikasa now knows about his undying love for her, so what of it? His life is ruined anyway.
"Jean," Armin, kind and wonderful Armin, reaches out to him, offering a gentle smile and redirecting everyone's attention from the moment that will surely haunt Jean's nightmares for months to come. "You wanted to tell us something?"
And bringing it back to the moment that will haunt the rest of his now no doubt much shorter life.
But he came not just to feel sorry for himself. He came here to share his grievances, to warn the others to not repeat the mistake he's already made. He might as well spill it already.
"Well, yeah, you see, it's about janitor Levi..."
"That jerk?" Eren perks up. "I fucking hate that guy. He made me wash the floor of the whole east wing after I spilled some soda."
"Yeah, he's a bit intense," Sasha agrees. "He once threw out my burrito, because he said it stinks. I mean, who does that?"
"You think that's intense?" Connie exclaims. "He threatened to cut my dick off if he sees me missing the toilet once again."
"Well, he'd be right to do so, Connie," Sasha chides. "That's totally disgusting."
"I can't help it sometimes!"
"I've heard that he's actually a gangster," Armin says, interrupting Sasha and Connie's bickering. "And that's why he works at school. You know, so that'd be easier to sell drugs to the kids."
"He never offered me any drugs..." Connie complains. "You think that's because of the whole missing the toilet thing?"
Jean rolls his eyes at him, deciding to not dignify that nonsense with a reply. "What does it matter? What matters is that the guy is a psycho. I mean, you all agree with me, don't you?" He pauses, waits for everyone to nod their agreement, then continues, "Well, that's why I've shared some of our... mutual reservations about him to Hange-san. You know, just to vent out my frustration at the guy. And you know how Hange-san is totally cool and understanding, right?"
Once again, everyone murmurs their agreement.
"So, I ranted a bit about janitor Levi, maybe, called him names a few times... but Hange-san was laughing as I did so! Of course, they then told me that he's simply a complicated man and other stuff along those lines, but at the moment I thought they were just being professional and what not, but today I went to the store to buy some snacks, and I met Hange-san there, and janitor Levi was there too, and, well... they were holding hands and I think I even saw them share a quick kiss, like they were a couple or something..."
A chorus of 'Hange-san and janitor Levi?', 'holding hands?", 'a couple?' and a collective 'ew' erupts. Jean waits for it to settle down, before quietly inquiring,
"You don't think that Hange-san is plotting to kill me, right? I mean, as cool as they are, they're a bit crazy too, and I just insulted their boyfriend to their face, and they're a science teacher, they must know how to dispose of a body, I saw that on Breaking Bad, and..."
Jean's ranting, he knows, and maybe he's began hyperventilating too, and he's definitely in a desperate need of a hug, preferably from Mikasa, but all that he gets are sympathetic looks, and-
A scream from Yeager.
"Fuck!" he yells, beginning to pull at his hair with worrying ferocity. "Fuck, fuck, fuck! I didn't know they were together! I thought they hated one another, what the fuck! Guys, I-" he pauses, then looks ahead like a man that's about to be hanged. "Just the other day, I... I kinda told janitor Levi that Hange-san is batshit crazy, and that they... stink worse than a monkey's poo."
The whole room is rendered speechless, everyone is gawking at Eren with a mix of shock, sympathy and premature grief. And Jean- Jean bursts out laughing.
He was wrong. He was so, so wrong. It's not the worst day of his life, far from it. It's definitely one of the better ones. And it's bound to get even greater - when he witnesses janitor Levi beating the living shit out of Yeager.
He reaches out to him, clasps his shoulder just a bit too forcefully. "My friend," he says, with a grin that's threatening to break his face. "You're so fucked."

MC Has Parkour Skills (HC)
Fandom: Obey Me
Pairing: Demon Brothers x gn!Reader
Warning: None
Requested by: Anon
Prompt: Happy to see your requests are open again. Fandom anon here from 16th March, been checking your blog daily ever since then! So, I recently watched the anime movie Bubble and it was *chefskiss*, so may I request HCs for our lovely brothers with a MC that is super good at parkour running? And they're completely in awe of badass and ... free they look when they see them performing for the first time? Thank you very much!
A/N: Hi anon! Happy to see you back. 😁 I have heard about the movie but have not seen it, so I will focus more on the parkour than any specific details/stunts in the movie. Hope you like it!
———————————————
Tumblr media
No, no, no. He does not approve of this. Yes, it looks cool. Yes, you look badass. But it’s too dangerous, especially for a human!
He is so tempted to change into his demon, catch you in midair, and fly you to a safe place. Then lecture you, but that would only make you mad.
Throughout your entire performance, Lucifer holds onto his breath. He will not relax until your performance is over and you are safe.
Tumblr media
WOAH! COOL! You are awesome. This is awesome.
But no matter how amazing your stunts are, Mammon gets nervous every time you hop from ledge to ledge, do flips, and jump around like you are a graceful bouncy ball.
Mammon doesn’t want his beloved human to get injured in any way, but he also doesn’t want you to stop doing something you love. You have his full support but be careful out there unless you want your dear demon to worry and cry.
Tumblr media
YOU’RE EXACTLY LIKE A CHARACTER FROM AN ANIME MOVIE HE SAW! But this is far cooler because he gets to see the stunts live.
Your number one fanboy. If you have any merch, Levi will buy every last piece.
Wonders how you get so much energy and wishes he could borrow some of it. Maybe one day, he will ask you to teach him how to do these badass stunts.
Tumblr media
No. This is not acceptable. What if you get injured? The human body is too fragile for such crazy stunts.
He hates to admit that the badass aura you emit while doing the stunts makes him like you even more.
 Satan carries a first-aid kit everywhere he goes, so in case you get injured while you are doing stunts, he will be prepared to treat you. He even went out of his way to take classes on how to provide sufficient medical help to injured humans. 
Tumblr media
Pulls out his phone and takes a million videos. He is going to create a Devilgram account for you and upload all these videos! You will become an internet sensation overnight. 
But all of this can’t be healthy for your body, right? What if you end up hurting yourself or miss a jump? On the other hand, he doesn’t want to think about what would happen about it - human life is too fragile for its own good. 
For his mental health sake, Asmo is going to have confidence in you and say you know exactly what you are doing. Yeah...that should put his dark thoughts at bay for a while. 
Tumblr media
Impressed by your confidence and abilities but is upset you didn’t show him your skills earlier. Did you not want him to worry about you?
Whenever you do parkour, Beel gives you his undivided attention - not only because he enjoys watching you, but in case you miss a step, he wants to be ready to turn into his demon form and catch you before you get hurt. 
Competes with Levi to take your “No 1 Fanboy” title. Not that Levi will give up that title easily. 
Tumblr media
Not many things make him feel wide awake, but seeing you jump from ledge to ledge forces him to wake up instantly. Not because you look cool - which you do - but because Belphie’s heart nearly stops. 
He knows humans aren’t the smartest, but performing reckless stunts is not okay, not for you and not for his heart. Belphie doesn’t know whether he should applaud your courage or facepalm at your recklessness. 
But he has to admit he can’t take his eyes off you when you start showcasing your abilities. It’s impressive, to say the least.

Stranger
Pairing: Hange Zöe x fem!reader
Genre: fluff
Warnings: mentioning of alcohol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were sipping coke from the red cup and looked around from your comfortable corner of the living room. You weren't even sure what you're doing here. You also had no clue how your best friend - Historia managed to talk you into coming here. Out of all the people you knew, Historia would also be the last to attend the party with you. As your polar opposite, she was kinda rude badass vibe and knew what she wanted. You, on the other hand, were... we'll you, nice and smiley person. How you two were friends? Let's just say that studying insides of animals bring people together.
- Of course, she came to flirt - you mumbled to yourself, as you spot your friend with the party host, Ymir, on the dance floor in some very intimate moves. Rolling your eyes, you left to the kitchen to refill your coke. As you grab a can from the fridge, you got the feeling that you weren't alone. Indeed, on the counter with beer in hand was sitting a brown-haired person. They were wearing a white shirt tackled in dark brown pants.
- Hey. First-year - they smiled from behind their glasses.
- How did you know I'm the first-year? - you took a step closer in their direction, leaning your back on the counter next to them.
- You drink coke. Or wait, I didn't ask. Wanna beer?
You just wrinkled your nose.
- No, thanks. The smell...
- Got ya. So... what major are you?
- Veterinary. And you?
- Medical. - they took another sip and closing one eye aimed at the trash can. The can flew from their hands in the right direction but bumped off the edge of the trash can.
- Hey, Four-Eyes! I know your dorm is a mess, but don't ruin other's places. - small, balck-haired boy entered the kitchen, picked up the can, and put it in the trash. - Speaking of mess, I'll visit you tomorrow. To clean. - he shot death glance at the person next to you and left.
- That was...? Your boyfriend? - you asked after a few seconds of silence.
- No, no, no, no. Raviolli is just a best friend. And cleaning service - they laughed and took two lollipops from the shirt's pocket and handed you a cherry flavoured one.
- And you go by Four-Eyes, or you actually have a name? - you asked, putting the lollipop in your mouth.
- Hange Zoë. But Hange is just fine.
- Hange. - you whispered to yourself. - Nice to meet you, Hange
- Awwww, it sounds so cool when you say it. - their eyes lighten up, you could swear you saw sparks. - What's your name?
- Y/N. - you smiled. Hange whispered your name a few times under their breath as if they were trying to memorize it the best they could.
- So, Karo, what are you doing at Ymir's party?
- See that little blonde? - you pointed at Historia, who now was clearly flirting with Ymir. Hange nodded.
- She told me to "be cool and hang out with her", in translation, it was "I don't want to go alone, and I won't get another chance to flirt with Ymir." So here I am. And you? I bet your hobby isn't stealing beer from other people's fridges.
- See that black-haired girl? It's Mikasa, Levi's cousin. And she's kinda hyped on Eren Jaeger.
- Professor's Jeager son?
- Yeah. So Levi decided that he doesn't want to be uncle so soon, and he's here to "keep kids safe." I am here because... I don't know. I just got bored. Hoped for making new friends. Seems I found one - they patted your head. It was kinda weird considering the fact that you two have just met, but somehow Hange's touch felt nice.
- So you want to be my friend?
- Yeah! Please, I can't let such a sweet soul hang out only with Reiss. She's led you to the wrong path.
- Wrong path?
- Darkside. Crime. Cigarettes. Alcohol. Et cetera.
- Said person with beer in hand - you joked, hoping it won't come out rude.
- See? Even your jokes are kinda harsh on my heart - Hange dramatically held their hand over their heart, making you laugh. When you opened your eyes, you met two brown pupils staring at you from behind glasses.
- Your laugh is beautiful - Hange said and shifted focus on their blue lollipop. You could feel your cheeks turning red. Complements from the basically stranger felt weird. You focused your stare on your black shoes.
- If you don't do beer, how about vine?
- White. Only sweet. - you answered, not picking up your glance. You heard Hange moving around, and soon they handed you nice glass.
- There you go.
- And Historia was one that was supposed to lead me on the wrong path? - you teased, tasting the vine.
- Maybe you already are on the wrong path where you met me? - Hange smiled playfully and took a sip. - Nice.
- Not bad.
As time was passing by, you and Hange went over most of the biological topics you could share, some personal information, and well...
- You have a boyfriend? - Hange asked suddenly out of blue.
- Ye- I mean no - you dropped a smile, remembering that your ex-partner broke up with you before the school year started. - You?
- Nope. I'm a lonely wolf waiting for my mate.
- You've even been in love, Hange? - you asked, putting the glass, It was your third, on the counter. Hange got on the ground and put their glass down, too.
- How do I know that I am in love? - they asked carefully.
- I- - you didn't have the right answer for that. - Sorry for that question. I didn't mean to kill the mood by going to such philosophical topics.
- We'll... since love is pure chemistry... - Hange stepped closer to you, looking as they were really wondering around the topic. - Wanna get some air?
- Yeah.
You two passed by the main part of the party, deeper inside the apartment.
- I believe it's here. - Hange opened one for the doors and stepped into something that looked like a guest room. Indeed, there was a balcony door.
- And it's locked... - Hange pouted after their five try of opening the door failed.
- You gave up now? - you asked, from your position of lying down on the bed, enjoying a soft mattress.
- Yeah - Hange sighted. - Coming back to the topic...
- Topic?
- Love. It's like... when you have red and blue, you make purple. When you have two substances, they make something, a third that is somehow completion of them.
- Huh...
- Let's make purple.
- What?
Before you knew Hange was hovering over you, their hands on both sides of your head.
- H-Hange? - you asked, shy as they were so close. You could smell them. White vine, blueberries, and vanilla.
- Can I kiss you? - they asked softly, and even when you remained silent, your eyes spoke for you. Their right hand gently raised your chin as they moved closer to you. Soon, as your lips met and you closed your eyes, tasted that sweet white vine mixed with blueberry lollipop they had. As shy and innocent was the first kiss, the second one was still delicate but more possessive, like Hange was claiming that you're theirs. Not partying your lips, they carefully turned you over, that now you were sitting on their thighs. You shivered as you felt their hand innocently rubbing your waist up and down to, in result, pull your shirt a little bit. You broke the kiss and grabbed Hange's wrist before their fingers could meet your bare skin.
- Everything okay? Did I hurt you? God, I was rude? I'm so sorry, princess - Hange told you probably every apology that ever existed till they finally let you speak.
- It's fine, Hange. Just... let's not rush things, okay?
- Well... you know me less than a day and I KNOW, I know it looks like I pulled you into bed with me, but I really like you, and can you maybe consider liking me back?
- Hange, I-
- You don't have to answer now! - they cutted you before you could speak. - It's just an offer. Maybe? Confession? I don't know. Just don't be mad at me, please. I like you - they pulled you closer to their chest, wrapping their arms around them in a protective hug.
- Hange... I know you didn't want to hurt me. - you smiled to them.
- I wouldn't dare - they whispered in your hair.
- And I can consider liking you back. I liked... making purple with you
- Is that how we'd be calling kissing? "Making purple"? - they giggled.
- Why not? - you sunk more into the hug. - You think Ymir wouldn't mind us here? I'm getting kinda sleepy
- She'll be fine. Come here - Hange helped you take off your shoes and let you under the covers.
- Are you comfortable with sleeping in your clothes? - you asked as you two were cuddling under the sheets.
- Yeah. It won't be the first time. - Hange sighted, remembering all their study sessions. - Now go sleep, princess. You'll need energy tomorrow to fight the hangover and to consider liking me back - they kissed your forehead. You only snuggled closer, knowing you have nothing to consider. You already liked them back when they missed the toss with the beer can.

For the drabble challenge your grace, I request number 29. I was going to pick something much worse but I thought I'd be nice this time :)
send me a number (and a ship/character) and i'll write a drabble
thank you for: the prompt, calling me your grace (i will be requesting that you do so all the time from now on though, cheh), and for picking something nice (although now i def want you to send me the worse one!!!). know that this almost went somewhere really, really dark, but drunk me decided against it.
The Poll
Prompt 29. How is my wife more badass than me?
Tags: levihan, actor AU, the 104th kids, silliness
now edited and posted on ao3
The SNK panel is going well so far, although it's the last day of the convention and even Hange and Conny's social batteries are running low -Levi's has been empty since the end of the first morning, to no one's surprise- but they're pushing through bravely. Only a few more hours before they can all head back to their homes, and Levi can recharge -and take care of Hange as she goes through her usual post-convention depression.
"Hange," the host calls out, finally leaving a red-faced Armin alone after a round of merciless questions about his character's newly revealed romantic arc, "you were elected most badass character from the latest special episode in a fans poll, outvoting even Levi and Mikasa's characters. We've talked about that amazing last fighting scene of course, but I don't think I've heard you describe that emotional goodbye with Levi before. How was it filming that goodbye scene?"
Hange doesn't immediately reply, and Levi can tell they're uncomfortable although they've all been briefed and Hange okayed this topic. He understands their unease as he absolutely hates having to rethink about their last moments on set -well, last until their fleeting appearance in the last part of the season, but the fans don't know that yet- and so for once, he's the one who speaks up and switches the topic.
"Oi, what did they say you beat me at?" he asks, turning to Hange but speaking in his microphone so everyone hears him.
"Most badass character, babe," Hange replies with a thankful grin, flicking her short hair back.
People, both fans and castmates, laugh at the exaggerated gesture.
"Are you guys kidding? How the f- hell is my wife more badass than me here?" he asks, glaring at the crowd and host in the typical way his character is famous for. "She threw herself to her death and left me half to go on and fight my ape arch nemesis and that giant bony monstrosity when I was still half dead and missing parts of my dominant hand-
"Well, as your character said, Levi, two fingers is all you need," she interrupts.
She winks at him -well, blinks, but he's learned to read through her attempts by now- and he prays he's not blushing as hard as he does every time Hange unexpectedly flirts with him in public, even years after they've made their relationship public. Someone -Eren, that's gotta be this shithead Eren- whistles suggestively, and Levi takes a deep breath in before clearing his throat.
"Anyway, my character is the most badass, period. Yours isn't even on the show anymore."
Hange laughs as a few shocked gasps escape the audience.
"Don't hold it against him, folks, Levi's still a little shaken up by that scene," she explains.
"Was it a difficult moment for you to film as well, Levi?" the panelist attacks again.
Levi looks down, then sideways at Hange, and the smile on her face falters as she hears his silent plea to get him out of there.
"Well, it was interesting as actors to portray feelings those characters don't usually display," she starts, "and it was a challenge to do justice to this particular scene. One I hope we lived up to, although from what i've seen in some tweets-
"To be fair, you guys were exhausted by the time they finally called that scene a wrap," Jean interrupts on Levi's other side.
"Why? Did it take long to shoot?" the host asks now, clearly desperate to finally get a reply to at least one of their questions.
Eren laughs, and the rest of the cast has a smile on their face they all try to hide when Levi loudly clicks his tongue at him.
"Oh, come on. I can say it, Hange, right?" he asks, although he sounds a bit less sure than his usual self.
And to Levi's horror, Hange simply chuckles and nods.
"Yeah, go ahead. It's probably going in the bloopers anyway."
Eren sighs in relief, and Levi hides his face into his arms as he awaits his fate.
"I was behind the camera watching them acting this scene out since it was one of my favorite moment from the script," Eren picks up in his most dramatic tone, "and it took them hours to get it right. But not just because one of them cried or messed up their lines, no... the real recurring problem was, those two kept ending it with a goodbye kiss! And since Hange was supposed to fly away right after her last line and that kiss wasn't scripted at all, they had to redo it over and over again, while our director was pulling at his own hair and yelling at them to stop making out!'
The crowd erupts into a chorus of laughter and exicted squeals, and the other cast members join in as they remember that day on set.
"I'm going to kill you, Jaeger," Levi says as he sits back up.
"Hey! No spoilers, old man," the young star retorts.
Hange snorts out a laugh, and Levi stares daggers at her instead. All she does is put her hand on his knee under the table, squeezing gently, and he doesn't pay attention to whoever is getting tortured now.
He only looks into Hange's eyes, glad to finally be rid of that damned eye patch prop she's had to keep on for the last season and loved a little too much -and is most definitely planning to steal from the set, he bets- and can only thank the universe that this is all fiction and his Hange's alive and well by his side.

November Levi A Than Redraw 3 of 30!  
Now for our first real Levi- well he's a bit busted up but I'm sure it's fine. Honestly it kind of sucks that he didn't really get to fight much in rainbow arc at all, same with Bel and Luss, they all were kind of more accessories in the thing. I kind of get why, but come on, knocking him off the moment we get a cut back? plain rude tbh. Random thought though I do think it's a little funny though, how Amano tried to explain bel's mass levitation of his knives with the wires only to have had levi just fucking shoot his parabola into the air like satellites in literally the previous battle. I do not remember that being explained and I think it's funnier if she just decided that he specifically can just do that for some reason.
Also if you’re interested in Submitting for other Varia members for me to redraw in their months you can check what I still need (here~)  
The Image I redrew is under the cut, just to keep the post small.
Tumblr media
Like literally out of context this almost looks badass and then he passes out. also I never thought i'd say that about levi what the fuck.

My sword and my heart
Levi x Fem!Reader
Royal AU, Prince Levi, tall reader, muscular reader, strong reader, secret romance, fluff, loving Levi, Levi is a bit of a simp/fan.
Levi has admired and loved you for so long. He can't help but flirt with you and get you so flustered. He finds it enjoyable to get you, a strong and tall woman, to blush hard when he looks up at you and compliments your skills and beauty.
No tags as it is reader-specific.
Tumblr media
The royal tournament used to be something Levi hated, but then you joined his guards. Now, Levi looked forward to the event. You loved competing in his name and crushing all the competition. The love you had for it was clear to Levi when you battled, which was one of the reasons why he enjoyed it so much now.
This year it was a summer event and all the royals and families of high standing put a guard, knight or a few soldiers forward for battle. Others always put in a few, but Levi only ever put just you in. He made sure your armour was perfect for you and you were comfortable within it.
You were a marvel to behold in your comfortable armour. You never wore overly heavy things, just the right amount that allowed you to be flexible, move fast and allow your muscles to breathe. You were rather proud of your outfit and it was the second event you had gone to. A lot had changed since the last one, now you were romantically involved with the Prince and he was making steps for love to be allowed so you could marry.
You pouted a moment as you adjusted your large sword in its scabbard. You looked around for the Prince, but couldn't see him. You felt a little deflated that the man who had stolen your heart was not here. For so long you swore you would dedicate your life to being a guard of the royals and fighting bad people and monsters. The concept of love was just not something you considered, but here you were searching for the man you loved.
"Knowing you are looking for me makes my heart flutter."
You looked down at Levi in his royal suit. A blush spread on his cheeks at seeing all his medals. It was a white suit with many gold buttons and a white cape on one side and red on the other. His hair was tamed back showing off his handsome face. A sword was in a scabbard on his hip.
You bowed your head to him. "Your highness."
"No need to bow." He offered his gloved hand to his butler. "I have something for you." He took something from the butler and showed it to you. "I hope you like it."
You gasped at seeing the grand dark green cape with Levi's royal arms on. "It's incredible, your highness. Is it really for me?"
"Yes."
You clenched your fists as you fought your emotions. "Thank you. I will wear it with pride."
He pulled away when you reached for it. "No, no. I insist on putting it on you." He walked behind you and connected it to your shoulders. "There, perfect." He walked around to face you. "It won't slow you down or get in your way, will it?"
You shook your head. "N-no. I can fight with it." You puffed your chest out. "I can fight better with it! It'll fuel me!"
He touched your armour at the front before leaning up and kissing the corner of your mouth. "May that fuel you better."
You shivered. "Yes, your highness!"
He smiled fondly as you ran towards the tournament grounds. He climbed up to his seat allowing him to look down at the grounds. He sat in his cushioned seat and felt himself smile as soon as he saw you standing with pride. Yet again, you were the only woman out there fighting.
The event started as normal, and the Emperor of the land announced the reason for it. Jokes were made about you as well, but it was clear that this was not getting to you and you were just excited to fight. There was a burning fire within you to fight with everything you had.
The first round king of the hill. It was one-on-one fighting and whoever won would remain in the arena and keep fighting until they were knocked out, or they won. It was an exciting battle and really got the crowd going.
Levi felt a burning pleasure and desire run through him as soon as you walked with grace into the area. You held your head high and readied yourself. For someone so strong and tall, you moved with grace and poise. Your movements were like a dance. Your body would twist beautifully and then you would use such powerful strength that came from raw rage.
Levi was on the edge of his seat as he watched you cut down every single man you faced off against. Your last opponent was the Emperor's who was known to have a massive ego. It was clear that he was trying to get into your head by talking to you, but it only made you want to kick his ass more.
The battler didn't take very long. You went right into attack mode and knocked him back with a slash after slash. Levi's heart skipped a beat when you sliced so hard that you cut his sword in half. He stood up when you got in your opponent's face, pulled back and twisted so beautifully with your cape and kicked him hard.
The area was quiet for a moment, but then all eyes were on Levi as he jumped up and cheered with pride. As soon as Levi cheered for you, so did his staff with him and your guard friends who were protecting him. It made your heart flutter and tears fill your eyes when you saw how much love there was for you.
The victories didn't stop there. You dominated the tournament and won almost everything for Levi. The ones you didn't win were the ones you weren't taking part in. The horse racing was nailing biting close between you and a rather lovely knight who was always kind to you.
At the end of the tournament, you were ready to gain your award but the Emperor did you dirty. You were disqualified for breaking his knight's sword. You accepted it, but it was clear Levi and his people were furious. So, you had to honour them.
You strolled over to where Levi was sitting. You could see the hurt and anger in all their eyes. You smiled at Levi and placed your hand on your heart. You dropped to one knee and bowed before him. You rose up and inhaled deeply before speaking.
"Prince Levi! It was a great honour to fight and win this tournament for you! Long may you rein!"
Levi's cheeks burned at your speech. You had said you'd won, even though the emperor said you hadn't. Levi hated the Emperor of this rival land, so it made him happy you were standing up to him. Plus, declaring long may you rein about Levi was a bigger blade to dig into the Emperor's ego.
Levi ran down to the fence and leapt over it. He raced over to you and yanked you to your feet. He gazed up and smiled. "You are so beautiful." He pulled you down and kissed you with all the love in his heart. "I love you."
You whined a little at everyone seeing that you and Levi had been in a secret relationship. You were worried, but you knew you were strong enough to protect the two of you from others. You held Levi's hands in yours and smiled sweetly at him.
You leaned closer to him. "I love you too, Levi."
He kissed you and hummed a laugh. "Using my name and no title in public, huh?"
"I will accept any punishment."
He pulled you along to his staff and the guards. "Let us return home. We have to celebrate your victory." He paused a moment. "We are all proud of you."
You welled up as you looked around at the staff, guards and then your lover. "Thank you, all of you."

OC Test: Pokémon final
Part 2 <-
Carmine:Alright, are you done shaking before Pokémon god?
The group: Yeah….
Carmine:Cool. Yujin, choose your Pokémon.
Yujin:You want me to go next?
Carmine:For better or for worse I’m curious. Let it rip!
Yujin:Wrong franchise but I like your attitude!
Yujin runs towards the dwindling pile and picks up a Pokéball, throwing it like curveball that opens up to reveal Combusken! The rowdy little fella runs to her to give an enthusiastic high-five.
Yujin:Hell yeah! We’re gonna be best friends!
Tenzen:Fitting you’d get something in the middle of evolution line. Much like you, it will grow up to be a beast.
Yujin:I know that’s a compliment but maybe let’s not call me a beast? Just call me badass or awesome! Like my new buddy!
Combusken:*puffs chest out*
Tenzen:Alright, time to get me a Medicham.
Lucas:You seem confident.
Tenzen:*grabs pokéball* Just manifesting. I could also see Greninja or Mienfoo.
Yujin:I don’t know, I think you’re selling yourself short.
Tenzen:What are you talking about? Those Pokémon are awesome!
He throws the ball up high and watches the light arc downward by his feet to reveal a kneeling Lucario.
Tenzen:….
Yujin:See? The world agrees with me.
Tenzen:I’m not even mad. Just shocked.
Peach:My turn! *holding pokéball*
Levi:When did you-
Peach:Noivern, I choose you!
The upbeat girl turns her cap backwards and throws the pokéball just like she’s seen on tv. Out from the ball and soaring into the air, a Noivern appears. As it lands, Peach puts her hands on her hips and smiles smugly.
Peach:Ha!
Everyone:HOW!?
Peach:Ha! Guess I know myself all too well. *nods proudly*
Carmine:Can you do that?
Levi:Pfft, of course.
Carmine:Then call it right now; what’s your Pokémon?
Levi:….Fine, I don’t know. It would be weird if it wasn’t Greninja or ar martial arts Pokémon. Then again, half my family is unpredictable.
He grabs the shadow of a pokéball which pulls the real deal closer to him before chucking it. Much like Tenzen, the beam of light shoots back in his direction and by his feet appears a shiny Litwick.
Levi:Huh…honestly…*picks her up* This is great. I can always need a little light. You’re also pretty adorable.
Tenzen:I think that Pokémon can drain life force.
Levi:Why am I not surprised?
Lucas:Serenity, do you wanna go next, or I?
Serenity:You go ahead. I have no problem being last. It’s actually a little exciting!
Lucas:Suit yourself. Guess I’m going.
Kovu:You haven’t used your semblance to see what it is?
Lucas:Where’s the fun in that? *grabs pokéball*
With nothing to lose, Lucas tossed his pokéball out in front of him. He quickly learned he should’ve given it a bit more force as the light went towards a pond. He quickly ran over then backed up as a huge Melotic appeared. It knelt down and greeted him with a wonderful smile he couldn’t help but love.
Lucas:We’ll aren’t you a beauty? *pats head* Hello there.
Serenity:Look at you, always a heartthrob. Gotta learn to control that.
Peach:She’s right ya know.
Lucas:I’m literally just here.
Serenity:Whatever you say casanova. Welp, guess it’s my turn.
Lucas:What will win out? Your sunny disposition, or your rotten luck?
Serenity:Luck has nothing to do with it.
She gives every a huge smile and a wink before tapping the top of the pokéball for it open. The light doesn’t go far and fades rather fast as the clouds partly block the sun. While everyone quickly became silent, Serenity chuckled quietly; things went about how she expected. The sunny girl extended her hand and rubbed the cheek of Giratina.
Serenity:So scary yet so many vulnerabilities. Yep, sounds about right. *hugs it*
Everyone: (What the hell…)
xxxxx
Later on, after everyone cleared out and night fell, Dustin came skulking by. The young man grabbed a pokéball that was far removed from where the others had been and tossed it towards the moon. Out of it came a Darkrai. The two them looked at one another then proceeded to walk away together in comfortable silence.

So uh... this Princess Rose event, huh??
I don't even know where to start! I wasn't gonna write a post about it 'cause I have too many thoughts, but damn it I couldn't resist so here we are.
SPOILERS & SCREENSHOTS under the cut.
SPOILERS & SCREENSHOTS under the cut.
First of all. I love that Mammon's initial motivation for all of the following shenanigans is "business deals." Like... my man, do you even hear yourself?? And then how his whole pitch is that he's holding up the economy? I wouldn't have accepted that nonsense from anyone else, that's for sure.
And let's be real, Asmo's assertion that his beauty makes other people happy was also something I let slide due to my affection.
What can I say, I love both Mammon and Asmo so very much.
Tumblr media
I mean, to be fair, financial security is definitely nice and certainly reduces stress. So he's not wrong.
Tumblr media
Oh no! Not a recession! Once again... are you hearing yourself!?!?
I will say that the non key route was once again a complete disappointment. You don't even find out what happens at the end?? It's just them being like, oh yeah? We'll see who wins! And then it ends. So you don't actually see who wins at all unless you play the keyed route. Sometimes the non key route is okay, but for other events it's pretty pointless. This was one of those.
Aside from that, though, I quite enjoyed this event. It was sufficiently hilarious, courtesy of the other brothers being their usual selves.
MAMMON IN THIS EVENT THOUGH.
We already knew that when Mammon wants something, he will work hard for it. This is further evidence of that because he chooses Lucifer to teach him ON PURPOSE knowing full well that Lucifer will not go easy on him. And then he steps up to the challenge!
However, I quite liked how Asmo wasn't a slacker, either. He wasn't like oh I'm pretty so I've got this in the bag. No, he chooses Barbatos and also works hard to get himself ready.
And like despite EVERYBODY expressing how they don't think these guys are gonna get anywhere, they both bust their asses anyway.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Asmo is not having it, guys.
Tumblr media
Have some faith, Lucifer.
Tumblr media
I'm pretty sure this was the only thing Luke said in this event, but he didn't hold back, huh?
BUT THEN.
That ending.
Tumblr media
Sir. I'm going to need you to stop being so cute. My life depends upon it.
I think you could say that while they ended up being twin princesses, neither one of them would have won without the other. I think it was the fact that both of them sacrificed their own chances in order to help the other that caused them to win. Because doing something like that really demonstrated the nobility that they were looking for in the first round.
It's just more proof of how the brothers truly care about each other. Even if they argue all the time, when things get serious they can count on each other.
Can I tell you how excited I was when Asmo was ready to go run down that demon with MC? I liked that he was so badass about it and just kind of kept brushing off MC when they were like aren't you late for the show?! Can't you let me handle this?! And he was just like nope, I won't stand for any demon smearing my brother's reputation like that.
I really think they need to let Asmo be a little more evil. Like yes, he's beautiful and he has perfect skin, but he will absolutely kick your ass and he won't even break a nail doing it.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this event. I really need to go back and play the other Dame event on Lonely Devil I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Now for some random screenshots that made me lol.
Tumblr media
Yes, okay, please go ahead.
Tumblr media
I loved that Lucifer said this to MC. He's so done with everything, he's just like please stop trying to make jokes.
Tumblr media
At least he's honest.
Tumblr media
Beel demonstrating his unusual type of synesthesia - the ability to taste numbers.
Tumblr media
New tongue twister just dropped!
Okay and Levi in this event had so many excellent one liners, he gets his own section. I can't deny that I'm on a bit of a Levi-loving kick lately, so maybe that's why, but I just thought he was so funny.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's so precious.
Okay, I'm done. I always take too many screenshots and then I want to post them all. Because I just think all these guys are so funny. I can't help it.
I realize that I didn't mention anything about the gender aspects of this event, what with the whole Dame situation, but do I really need to? I've seen some excellent posts about that already. And honestly, anyone who thinks that the Devildom doesn't already have completely different ideas on gender hasn't been paying attention.
And also I don't have time to write anymore, this post is already too long. I apologize for the length lol. But thank you for reading!

Random question
Other than his looks, what made you fall for Levi?
-♡
Tumblr media
first, i can’t give you a detailed recount because i forgor😔in late 2020 i had just escaped a long insanely emotionally abusive co-dependent relationship, i was starting college, escaped my home life, and i heard that aot was FINALLY getting a season 4 so i rewatched it on a whim (i was very much a fan in 2016 but i wasn’t a manga reader, and after wit whimped out on animating after s3, i fell out of interest🤷🏻). idk why levi didn’t catch my attention at that time..
but in a perfect storm of irl variables, i became obsessed❤️honestly levi ackerman made me realize i was on the asexual spectrum. (so levi ackerman was an influence in me breaking up with my casual boyfriend at the time also.) then i went through some Traumatic Stuff and with no exaggeration if it wasn’t for levi i wouldn’t have made this blog or be here today
(so as more of an aside, my sexuality makes me feel like the attraction is even more real in a way?)
but what about HIM made me fall for him??
- well first of all i have a type🤷🏻emotionally unavailable, strong aloof fictional man with a heart of gold
- also he was extremely relatable. i could see so much of myself in him which was particularly nice when i was working through stuff i hadn’t even been aware was trauma before. rly made me feel less alone
- fictional man has unwavering sense of loyalty who knows what it feels like to be chronically abandoned so he would never do that
- independent fictional man that wouldn’t smother me in affection, and doesn’t feel any need or desire to be, idk upfront about it?—because it’s felt and shown in his actions plenty. this was a massive factor for me
- he always has his shit together. i mean he’s in total control of himself at all times and that kind of stability attracted me
- back to being relatable, i have the same outlook about life and feel i have a lot of the same personality traits🙂
- no nonsense. doesn’t mince words or lie to make someone else feel better. not a dominant guy. kind of course, selfless and empathetic but also morally grey with a darkness in him. more humble but not in an insecure way that requires me to be constant emotional support. lacks charisma in a very very very cute way. levi is so shy yk??? while also being a tough badass🤷🏻
- he’s short and small. i didn’t think about this until later but i love it😭😭short guys for me>>>
- if this makes sense, he isn’t sexual? even though he has plenty of sexual appeal (DUH). shows no interest in romantic relationships or sexual encounters while also being the most loyal, doting, and thoughtful partner if he was in a romantic relationship.
- this isn’t canon necessarily (although i remember this being a fan rumor), but he’s more docile and submissive in a relationship. that isn’t to say he can’t be dominant, but he’s mostly the former and that’s a major attraction to me
ok i’m getting into headcanon territory so i’ll stop😅but those are the major things :)

If you collect all the reasons why you like rivamika?
Thank you for your question, Anon 😉
I hope there won't be too many spelling mistakes!
[MANGA SPOILER]
.
.
Make me like Levi.
Perhaps an original reason but a Rivamika scene made me like Levi. Yeah… when I started AOT, I didn't do shipping and I didn't like Levi. For me, he was just another badass character, cold, who did not express any emotion. Typical shonen character, seen and reviewed. How boring.
Then, I bought AOT volumes in colossal edition and I reread the manga. (side note : The colossal edition is super cool because the panels are obviously bigger and the paper is smoother and whiter, I find this edition more qualitative so I recommend!) So, I reach the chapter 30, the first real interaction between Levi and Mikasa and I see this panels in a very big format :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can't really explain it well, but something clicked in me when I finally saw some real expressions on Levi's face. From that moment I got interested in him and started to like him, then discover that contrary to what I thought at the beginning Levi was a character with an interesting psyche and background. (Although I think it's a pity that Isayama didn't exploit it further… But it' s also the manga format that wants that, it's more limited than a novel.) He's a gray character who can be capable of committing heroic acts as well as terrible and even vicious things. He's a character that is very interesting to analyze and to write about. In the end, he became my favorite.
Levi's discreet interest in Mikasa.
Tumblr media
I like how Mikasa managed to pique Levi's interest. I always found that sometimes she was ignored or put aside by her own friends so I really appreciate the fact that someone paid attention to her and is concerned about her.
Then, there are his stares on Mikasa and speechless!Levi :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Levi wants to give meaning to all the sacrifices that have been made. Without it, all the people he lost will have died for nothing. It's personal but at the same time it gives him a selfless side, which closes him off a bit in a rather heroic character despite his flaws and his darkness. So it gives me the impression that we are dealing with "Captain Levi" most of the time, a closed person who is only interested in what might serve his noble cause. But his interest in Mikasa, although it's a bit professional, also seems rather personal, an interest he has as just Levi, as a person.
And, with Mikasa, Levi seems to be more reserved and hesitant, which deepens his character and makes him more approachable than an always charismatic and confident "Captain Levi".
The evolution of Mikasa : from hostility to trust and care.
Mikasa with Levi goes from this :
Tumblr media
to this :
Tumblr media
Mikasa doesn't like Levi at first, at least not since the court. But as time goes by, there is a real evolution of her opinion about him. Even though she still holds a small grudge against him, I still feel that she realizes that he isn't as bad and evil as she thought. She saw the "bad" sides of Levi first but ends up seeing his good sides later. She learns to respect him, follow his orders and trust him.
There is a real positive development that has been done (although in my opinion it has not been sufficiently exploited) and which shows that Mikasa is capable of questioning herself and revising her opinion.
Their interactions with each other.
Their interactions are really nice to see and read. They're both my favorite characters and I ship them together so of course I love the scenes they have together and I probably have a biased view because of that but… I still feel that there is a kind of special atmosphere between them. I can't put words to it, but it's like there's something deep and latent. It's more obvious in the manga, but there's almost always a game of looks between them :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⬆ Here, I really like the focus that tightens on Mikasa's eyes.
Tumblr media
⬆ The way Mikasa turns her eyes on Levi… the way there is once again a tight focus on her eyes gives it a more intensity/meaning to them. And Levi seems to turn his away as if he's uncomfortable with it whereas he's usually the first to stare at people…
Tumblr media
⬆ This page is simply amazing. No text, just looks. I don't know what Isayama wanted to show here, but I feel like Levi see Mikasa's distress and is surprised and confused? I would really like to know what Levi is thinking at that moment. Because right before the frame on Levi's eyes, there is Mikasa's face from his perspective. So I think I'm being reasonable in saying that it's more Mikasa's expression and tears than the fact that she draws her sword that surprises him. I think it might be because he is surprised that Mikasa cared about someone else than Eren to the point of drawing her blade?
⬇ And it's during one of their interactions that we learn a little more about each other :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I find that this mix adds a certain personal dimension and intimacy to their interactions.
Their dynamic.
He is Humanity's Strongest Soldier. She is the Woman Who Worth Hundred Soldiers. So if they team up, we have the right to have high expectations. And they don't disappoint. They have a confidence in each other's abilities that allows them to fight on their own without having to worry about the other, but ready to intervene for the other if necessary. Even though it wasn't shown much, they can really ally themselves and synchronize like in the uprising arc and especially at the very end, against Eren. Alone, they are strong. Together, they look unstoppable.
I liked when Mikasa was kind of Levi's right-hand soldier. I think it suits her, I would have liked to see her more in this role. It would have allowed her to learn the importance of responsibility, to put forward other of her qualities than her fighting skills. Mikasa is smart, works well and I think she knows how to anticipate the needs of others. And not being afraid of Levi, she could have told him when he was too harsh but at the same time "defend" him to her comrades because she is the one more able to understand and accept the drastic orders that Levi can give. A conciliatory role to improve understanding and cohesion between Levi and his squad. We saw all of this in the uprising arc, admittedly rather superficially, but I really enjoyed it.
I also find that Levi and Mikasa have a bit of a "Mentor and Protégée" dynamic. I always thought that Levi was trying to pass on/teach something to Mikasa. In the forest of giant trees, he tells her to not lose sight of their objective, unless satisfying her own desires overrides that. Later, he tells her to control her emotions for not mess up again. In the Uprising Arc (manga), he orders her to kill the enemies when she can, it may be an order but it’s mostly a survival advice, I think. In Season 3 part 1, he tells her that humans will also be their enemies and asks her to pass on the message to her comrades, he warns her and her friends by saying this. He asks her to calm down a few times and explains quickly why rushing is not the right thing to do.
But beyond the dynamics of "Superior and subordinate" and "Mentor and Protégée" which are professional. Levi and Mikasa also have in my eyes a certain dynamic on a more personal level : Levi see Mikasa for what she is not more not less. Although he is aware of her abilities, he doesn't mystify or belittle her. Besides, Mikasa seems more natural and herself with Levi than with the others. She has no filter, she isn't afraid to say and do what she really thinks. I find that she has a freedom with him that she doesn't have with anyone else.
As for Levi, he is still himself, Mikasa or not. However I find that he picks up in his rough way of talking when she is around surely because she tends to react. He takes his time more when he speaks to her as if he is uncertain and hesitant when usually he is very direct. To be honest, I don't know if it's because there's something about Mikasa that really makes him unsure or if it's because he knows that she's reluctant towards him and if he doesn't tone down his harshness the message won't get through as well as with the others.
There has always been an honesty between them that makes their dynamic natural, balanced and doesn't feel forced. We go from a somewhat reluctant association (on Mikasa's side) to a functional team. Obviously, it's not always perfect, but it only makes their dynamic more realistic. They don't always agree, but they talk about it, argue, try to make the other see their point of view. They are honest with each other, not afraid to tell the truth to each other and this is a good thing for me.
Rivamika is also a ship that is eligible for the romantic dynamic of "the man who looks at the girl from afar, not letting his feelings get in the way of her happiness and the girl who is in denial and not wanting to acknowledge her feelings for X reasons (bad love history, blind love for someone else)". For example, I have in mind this scene from "No string attached" for the dynamic I'm talking about (starting at 50 seconds for what I want to explain) :
youtube
It's not for the dialogue or for the characters' personality that I give this scene as an example, although "I don't need you to take care of me. I take care of myself. That's what I do." fits pretty well for a line from Mikasa to Levi (and I will pay good money to see and hear Levi tell Mikasa that she fights like a hamster!) However, it's more about the idea of the confident guy and the girl in denial… The way the girl's first instinct is to lash out at the guy and, him, just stays chill, ironic, cynical... Familiar, isn't it?
They could be beneficial to each other.
Maybe that's why I shipped them together in the first place. I really think they could have been beneficial to each other.
Levi has suffered a lot. I feel sorry for him when I started to like him so I wished he had someone to really care for him. And Mikasa takes care of others, sometimes in a rough way but she also knows how to show an incredible sweetness. And it's some of that sweetness that I want for Levi.
There is also the fact that I think Levi feels apart and I believe that Mikasa can really understand him because they share certain personality traits, have certain events in their past that are similar. Levi could find an understanding and compassion from Mikasa that he cannot find from anyone else.
Mikasa seems a bit lonely too. Not like Levi seem to be, I have the impression that she's sometimes put aside by the others without them doing it intentionally and she tend to self-effacing too. But Levi, when she speaks, he listens and don't interrupt her... I think that he could give her the right attention and respect she needs to be more confident. (Yes, for me Mikasa lacks confidence in herself, that's the reason why she believes so easily Eren when he says he hates her, it's not a lack of trust in Eren but in herself.)
And as they remain two individuals, with two different personalities despite some common points, they sometimes have disagreements as we have already seen in the manga. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. It allow them to question themselves and to evolve individually in a positive way.
Rivamika is bold.
Rivamika or any other ship than Eremika would have been more audacious, "artistically" speaking. Main characters who love each other romantically? Super original, we never saw that… I've always hoped Isayama would go beyond the standard in this matter (He did it a bit by killing Eren before he could be with Mikasa, I admit.). I was hoping he wouldn't make a romance between Eren and Mikasa, because I wanted something different and original, to show other kind of love than the romantic one. To show that people can be very important without it being romantic, it would have been more and really interesting... too bad.
But at the same time and to be honest, I like AOT as it is, I accept Eremika and understand what it brings to the story. I didn't read the manga for the romance but for the universe, the suspense, the survival story, the characters…etc. But I also see Isayama's work as an incredible support for the imagination, a nice base, good characters with which we can invent, build or deepen the relationships between them.
I am aware that Rivamika is also controversial. This is also why I say Rivamika is bold. It's a ship that has negative labels so it should be handled with caution. But there is nothing that is really an obstacle, if you think about it a little, nothing that can't be swept away with logic, facts and an open mind, but above all a distance to have when it comes to fictional characters in a fictional story, in a world that is not ours and in a time apparently prior to ours. (I won't debate it here because it's not the subject and I will only make an already long post heavier. If you are interested in my opinion, ask and I will try to make a post dedicated to this subject.)
Rivamika is the ship that inspires me the most to read or write about the development of a relationship. There is a real potential to exploit, a story to tell with twists and stakes.
They look good together.
Yes, I know it's a superficial reason, but I can't help but find that there's a certain flow that comes off of them when I see them together. It's a matter of taste.
Here are some examples to illustrate what I mean :
