#lol I wanna make another post of how if Levi and Eren’s relationship was ruined and lost

You know what we don’t have enough of?

Badass Eren.

And no, I am NOT including post-time skip Eren as badass Eren. The most badass thing he did was when he put his head against Pieck’s gun and told her she didn’t have the balls to shoot, and it’s one of my favorite moments but I’m not gonna include it cause post time skip Eren brings me depression.

ANYWAYS:

This boy had so much potential! He was number one in hand to hand combat. He had the stubbornness and dedication of a monster. He was a feral “beast” (remember when people were always denouncing his humanity? In the beginning of the story and in the end?) with a good heart and had so much love for everyone he held close. And he was so FUCKING SMART TOO! DONT ANYONE DARE DOUBT IT! This boy had real brains alright! He sometime just became a little clouded by his emotions and loyalties (and that’s a human thing that other characters had very little sympathy for).

Now with all of THAT (and so much more that I didn’t even put) Isayama gave him so little. I wanted to see more of Eren being badass! I wanted to see him be quick witted and sly and smart like I KNOW he can be (like he kind of almost seemed like after the time skip but I have a very strange relationship with that arc so I don’t like to think about it much). I wanted more moments of people just being in awe of him and his abilities (he’s so looked down upon tbh. The only person I think who’s shown genuine awe and confidence in his abilities is Levi, everyone else was mostly skeptic for a lot of the story). I wanted to see him climb all the way to the top! I wanted him to have at least one golden moment amongst all the tragedy, I wanted him to be fully acknowledged for his abilities.

I really just wanted more appreciation for him, you know? Since the story literally revolves around him???? It’s named after him (his Titan), he’s on almost every cover, and he’s the center piece for almost every single plot line. He’s the heart for everything in the story! And yet, he’s always reduced to so little (at least, from my perspective).
