Twinkling giggles filter from the living room to the kitchen and you smile. The entire house smells like cookies and chocolate chips. You place the tray on the stove and slip off the cow print oven mitts.
Levi and Izzy are lying belly down on the carpet, passing back and forth wax crayons, rolling out feet of craft paper, surrounded by scattered brushes and temperas. Who would’ve thought that Captain Levi would become so lenient? Specks of colors pinprick their old rags.
“You’re not that tall, dad.” Isabel steals the crayon from the grunting Levi and adds extra inches to your legs and hers. “That’s better.” She beams at him as her legs pivot up and down at her knees.
“Since when have you grown up so much?” He pats her head and dishevels her black silky hair.
“You can see it in my doorframe.” And Levi feels a twinge in the chest. Time unreels so fast. If she keeps going like this, she will soon catch up. And he will soon be scaring away dusty boys from his little princess. He’ll welcome them at the door while sharpening a knife. Hiding bodies is not that hard.  
“I’ll add some clouds and trees.” His mini version chirps and he panics. He pushes the roll, unfurling drawing room and starts scribbling with the black crayon. Big wobbly letters he can manage with three fingers. At the bottom, he traces two lines and puts his name under the right one, and Izzy’s under the left one, and signs his slot.
“Oi! Brat, I need you to sign this.” He points above her name.
“What does it say?” The three-year-old stares at him, raising an eyebrow.
“It doesn’t matter.” His tongue tchs against his teeth, and he reaches out for the bottle of red paint and a brush. “Just give me your hand.”
“We don’t sign contracts we haven’t read yet.” Levi frowns, slipping his good eye all the way up from your feet to your face, taking his time in the middle. Izzy jumps, lured by the cookies as you set the plate on the table.
“What is a contract?” she asks as crumbles of cookies fall on the tuft.
You sit next to Levi, planting a ghost kiss on his cheek, and then address the toddler. “It’s an agreement. You promise something when you sign it.”
“Can you read what it says?” She breaks the cookie in halves and hands the smaller side to Levi.
Brat.
A winsome smile lights your face, and Levi rolls his eyes. “I, Isabel Ackerman, promise not to grow up so fast because it makes dad sad.” You turn your head toward him. “That’s so sweet Levi.” And wipe the debris from the corner of his lips.
“I will sign it, dad!” Isabel claps and wedges between the two of you. She falls on her knees and offers her palm to Levi.
“You sure about that?”
She firmly nods, “I don’t want to make daddy sad.”

Levi as a father of a teen: tch, the fucking audacity of that kid. I wonder where the fuck did he get the attitude.
Levi as a 20s something joining the scouts: FUCK THE POLICE, THE KING CAN SUCK MY DICK. what did you call me, dickhead??? Why don't you say it to my face? Yeah that's what I thought, pussy.

A-T-4 016 Papa Levi
Out of the Saxon DJs from the early eighties Papa Levi was a star even though he didn't achieve the mainstream success of Smiley Culture or Tippa Irie in the UK. He remained with Saxon and touring the world with them throughout the eighties spread Papa Levi's lyrical style and delivery over Jamaica and New York
I've read a few articles that say Papa Levi, whose real name is Phillip Williams, was the first of the Saxon posse to cut a record but I thought this was Maxi Priest and his original 1983 version of Strolling On, maybe it's because Maxi Priest was a singer rather than DJ this gets ignored? anyway Papa Levi (as Philip Levi) and his debut single Mi God Mi King was on the UK Reggae Charts in January 1984 and topping it by February
Below is a section form a 2005 blog post on Papa Levi by John Eden and I've added tracks at the appropriate points. One thing I'd like to add is Papa Levi's single Big Broad Massive n Hard is an example of black pride and confidence that you also hear in lovers rock
Maxi Priest and Paul “Barry Boom” Robinson produced Philip Levi’s “Mi God Mi King”; the first vinyl outing for a member of the troupe of Saxon MCs.
The tune originally came out on a Bad Breed 7″ in 1984 and stormed up the reggae charts, hitting the number one spot in February. The reason for its success was that it was the first bit of vinyl to capture the “fast chat” style which had dominated Saxon and other soundsystems for the previous year, if not longer.
When the Bad Breed pressing sold out, the tune was repressed on Level Vibes as a 12″. In fact this was a Maxi Priest/ Papa Levi double header, with Maxi taking the first cut on each side, Levi following with a deejay version and then the dub finishing up. 
I can’t begin to describe how well all this works – Maxi’s “Sensi” is one of the best UK roots tunes I’ve heard with its proper raw production (cruelly polished up on his 1st LP) – following it with “Mi God Mi King” doubles the impact – Levi’s ability to cram more words into a line mean that it actually feels like the riddim is pitched up. It isn’t. His break-out into double speed vocals half way through the track provide the kind of intensity also seen in jungle with its beats going twice the speed of the bassline.

The flipside of the 12″, with Maxi’s “Love in the Ghetto” coupled with Levi’s “Mi Deh Ina Mi Yard” is perhaps even better. Maxi haunting vocals making an appearance in the background of Levi’s ominous chat about the Brixton riots… Veteran reggae journalist Penny Reel remembers the demand for the song at the time meaning that all the available record presses in London were running full pelt, 24 hours a day to satisfy demand. Indeed “Mi God Mi King” was so successful that it was snapped up by Sly & Robbie in JA, who released it on their own Taxi label. Levi then made history once again when the tune became the first by a UK deejay to reach number one in the JA charts. Imagine the feelings of elation that must have unleashed in the reggae community in the UK and London, who had looked to Jamaica for inspiration since the very beginning…

Riding the crest of a wave, Levi then became the first Saxon MC to sign a deal with a major label in the form of Island Records. Island are mainly associated with "album-ised" 70s JA roots like Marley and Burning Spear (as well as worthies like LKJ) but it also seems that they had their fingers on the pulse of homegrown talent.
Certainly Levi’s releases on Island are every bit as good as those on indies and the talent is definitely all there in the form of producer Paul “Groucho” Smykle, Paul Robinson continuing with drum duties and George Oban on bass & keyboards. Oban deserves a special “Uncarved gold medal” for going the distance with Aswad, UK fast chat, On-U Sound and even the Red Crayola.
[There's a bit on Papa Levi's first Island release Bonnie & Clyde I'm skipping and going straight into the UK classic...]
Big ‘n’ Broad followed shortly afterwards and was a return to more familiar soundsystem rhymes and attitude. The tune is about Levi’s lyrical dexterity and his career as an MC with Saxon Studio International. I’m assuming a good few people have already heard this because it’s on the Lyric Maker mix, but the 12″ also includes an extended instrumental section which we left out. A classic, anyway.

When he first calls himself Miri’s papa. I LOST it.

When he falls asleep holding Miri’s hand while she’s sick because he’s so worried about her and just wants to make sure she’s okay.

When he smiles when he comes home to see that Miri and papa Kazuki spent all day working to make him happy for his birthday.

HC: Erwin is meticulous with his hair style because his dad would style his hair that way everyday before school uwu.
Also, Levi calling his hair products "frivolous shit" and Miche telling him it stinks in that one game, is just too funny. And in AoT jr high where they just call him greasy haired 😭 LEAVE MY MAN AND HIS HAIR PRODUCTS ALONE!!!!

The euphony of your laugh is shrouded by the cacophony of the mess hall.
The band skews out of tune but everyone is too boozed up to even notice. People dance, clink their tumblers, raise their voices above the noise to twang more noise. Chairs screech on the floor, wobbly people stumble. Notes of malt and yeast linger in the air.
A sympathetic smile curves your cherry red lips as you unconsciously brush away your hair, revealing the loop of gold. The man looks defeated, shoulders slumped, a blush igniting his face as he tugs at the collar of his shirt. “I’m sorry, Thomas.” Levi reads your mouth. And you squeeze the young soldier’s shoulder before turning around. Levi’s heart races as you come his way. The last swill of wine glides down his throat, but the drink is not strong enough to loosen his nerves. The empty bottom thuds on the wooden slab.
“Dance with me.” You offer a hand, and he doubts.
A harrumph scourges his throat. “I don’t dance, y/n.”
But you insist, a smile brightening your face. “I’ve seen you practice before.”
Levi blushes, his cheeks ready to combust. And he gives up, his fingers intertwine with yours, and the tickling spreads to his heart. “You look beautiful tonight,” he stutters. “I mean you always look—” a sigh. “Never mind.” He looks away, and you take the opportunity to press your lips on his cheek.
How callous you are. What if his heart stops beating for good? Humanity would lose its best asset.
And to make things worse, he spots Hange thumbing up at him. Erwin nods.
He grumbles and fulminates them with a glower. And immediately he mellows when you put your hand on his shoulder and his instinctively falls on your back. Levi leads effortlessly as if his body was made to move in synchro with yours, and for the first time in the night, he smiles, the tension ebbing from his back. You smell like oranges, and it reminds him of summer. This brief moment is an oasis, a shelter from the storm; he knows he shouldn’t get used to the bliss. But at least, he can keep this nerve-fluttering moment in a chest locked in his heart to bring it out when everything turns into a field of chrysanthemums.

KENNY, KUCHEL, AND MIKASA’S DAD HEADCANONS
Because I haven’t done this in so long😅😅
Ok so I like to think that Kenny and Kuchel are the older siblings to Mikasa’s father (cause I’m obsessed with the idea of it) and Kenny is like, 4 years older then Kuchel while he’s 7 years older then Mikasa’s dad.
Growing up, they were very playful but intense, so much so, they fought over every little thing and black eyes and bloody noses were shared
I like to think their parents were like amazing???
But RIP to them ig cause they died when Kenny was like 10🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ (Kuchel being 6 and Mikasa’s dad being 3 or so)
They stuck together and as they got older, they got sneaker cause they’re Ackerman’s, what do you expect (A MP caught them stealing bread or something and they straight up flung shit at him)
Because of the death of their parents, Kenny started to become real distant with his brother and sister and when he was like 14???? That’s when he just disappeared and soon became known as Kenny the Ripper
It’s a lot more creepy with a 14 year old kid tryna kill you with a “Here’s Johnny” type grin
Because Kenny left, Kuchel had to pick up the slack and she started to waitress at a nearby tavern (at such a young age too😭😭😭 I LOVE YOU KUCHEL)
Luckily nothing bad happened
But it wasn’t until she was 18 that she decided to become a prostitute because a coworker said she’d be making a lot more to support herself and her brother
So she did, AND I WISH SHE HADNT😖😖😖😖😭😭😭
Mikasa’s dad ended up getting some shitty jobs has he got older but it wasn’t until he found out Kuchel was pregnant that he finally picked one job
When Kuchel was 19 she found out she was pregnant with Levi and her baby daddy died (god rest his soul) and instead of going to the surface with her potential hubby, baby, and brother, she was stuck in the Underground
Mikasa’s dad was like 16 when Levi was born and he was like “woah… it’s a baby” and Kuchel was like “no shit”
I do like to think that Mikasa’s dad was present in his nephews life until Levi was like 1 or so
But I think it would be so interesting to like, have Mikasa’s dad working a shit job in the underground and MP’s seeing him and being like “this one’s good looking… let’s give him grass”
“Hey kid… wanna leave this shit hole?”
“Yeah that’d be great… but I got this sister and nephew-”
“No… only you😘😘🥺🥺”
Kuchel was pissed when she found out that Mikasa’s dad was on the fence about leaving the Underground. She forced him to leave, claiming one of them needed to live.
So he did, though he wishes he could help her and Levi
That was the last Kuchel and Mikasa’s dad spoke
Should I do a part 2???😎😎😎

Papa, is it weird to say you strike a feeling in me that makes me want to get on my knees for you?
~ brother Levi
Ah, no, Fratellino. That feeling is completely normal and should be embraced.
Why don't you try it now, hm? Get down on your knees for Papa.

And so it's come: adulthood. At last. The folk call it freedom, a key to those shackles that cage your youth, but for all the rabble and flattering hype, adulthood, rather frankly, fucking sucks. It's feeling all fluttery, ale stubborn down your throat, and there's a quivering in your belly that no one's ever mentioned... And, hell, let's shelve this thought, actually. Maybe she's just drunk.
Yet, all red in her pierogi-puff cheeks, drunk, Levi hazards, doesn't quite cut it. Oh, Wyn. "There you all are. So, cough it up. Did you brats manage to find it?" No one knows what that means. Lowering down to his haunches, dear Captain waits, and everywhere about them, the mess hall's mum. Still, it's two in the god damn morning; it's supposed to be mum. Uh oh— "Don't look at Braus like she can answer that. Your dignity," he clarifies. Her squad's out cold. "Did you find it at the bottom of your cup?"
Oooooooh, youth.
@4freedoms, ♡'d.
