Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Hello once again, Mrs. Momtaku! After you have replied my questions, I have been able to conclude them. However, I have raised a question anew... on the death of Commander Pixis. Considering how you have analyzed many a great things, it has come to me surprising how this event avoided your valuable gaze. Perhaps related to his death concurring with other important events... it also, in my opinion, signified the past and way of middle ground was forever lost at that moment, as Shadis had stated.
Oh dear. You are correct that Pixis got nary a RIP from me in chapter 124 😥 If I had to list excuses I'd say one of them is that from the time of his transformation in chapter 119 to his final death in 124, we saw Eren's head literally flying off his head followed by all those many months of intense Paths chapters which provided plenty of distractions and much time to deal with the fact that both Pixis and Nile were goners. Plus there was just so much process in those month. So much.
But for sure, the deaths of adult leaders like Erwin, Pixis, Nile, Magath, Shadis is the shonen way signifying change. And in this case, since the government immediately fell into Floch's nasty brand of government, it was a death of all moderate and reasonable leadership as well, or as you say, the middle ground being lost forever.
Thank you for the meta and your lovely analysis of the death of Pixis. I'll be sure to raise a drink in his honor next time I have one.

One last time, for old time's sake:
Fuck "Attack on Titan."
It's been a while since I've posted some hate about how badly Isayama killed SNK/AOT for me in its last third. That series — which was a big fave of mine for roughly 89 chapters — eventually just completely fucking shit the bed and then faceplanted right INTO the shit. I got pretty upset about it, and honestly? I STILL get riled up when I think about it.
(If your HOT TAKE in response to this is "Y R U so emoshunly invesstd in FICSHUNUL CHARAKTURS?????? LULZ" just stfu and gtfo, ok?)
But of course, I'm referring to how I felt RE: the manga's events and ultimate ending. Said ending is relevant once more, though, because just this past weekend? The anime hit its conclusion.
As a manga reader, I tried to hang in there for a LONG time after the unfortunate timeskip hit with Chapter 90. But they finally lost me so hard at Chapter 124 that I walked. And that's the reality for most of us who were angry and disgusted. We just... left. We stopped talking about it.
That's why, today, those who're still discussing AOT are almost all the die-hard fans who never stopped loving it. Which is part of why talking smack about AOT right now has got me feeling as paranoid as Sasha trying to stealth-cram a potato down her gullet.
Even so, I soldier forward. I've been thinking back on how bad this one hurt when it killed itself, which led me to looking over my old posts on the matter.
So, in "honor" of the end of the anime series, let me take a moment to look back on how they Shat on Titan.
One my first posts explaining the downward spiral was this long boi that attempted to summarize my MANY negative feelings at the time.
More thoughts on how it all went wrong in response to an Ask.
The timeskip was a mistake, and it felt wrong in many ways. This was the moment it began to most clearly go to hell... even though there WERE earlier warning signs.
...actually, I'd better rant about that some more.
For a while, we thought Isayama was maybe just screwing up an attempted "hate leads to more hate" message? (The ending of the series made it clear he was never trying to go there.)
Of course, at one point it was pointed out to me that the Eldians are maybe supposed to represent the history of Japan instead of the Jews, which... honestly doesn't help the situation very much, actually? It's still REALLY fucked up?
Thankfully, I wasn't totally alone in all this. (Even if it sometimes feels like I am.)
I did come back and read through the ending of the series, which... surprise!... sucked hard.
One last negative ask/response.
I see you wreckin' the tale of the peeps I loved
And I'm like, "Fuck you" (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The characters you had weren't enough, so
I'm like, "Fuck you, and your story, too"
The other versions of the game did not contain the above-mentioned glitch.
#SNK VS CAPCOM CARD FIGHTERS DS FULL#
Fixed versions of the game features a black and white graphic behind the title font on the cartridge's label, while bugged versions feature the label in full color. These cartridges have been sent by mail along with a package of five King of Fighters trading cards. On June 6, SNK announced that the replacement cartridge would be available in stores on June 25 and began the process of implementing a recall. The game crashes after talking to an opponent named Jon, who has to be defeated in order to finish the game. Players build decks of characters pulled from the annals of SNK and Capcom.
#SNK VS CAPCOM CARD FIGHTERS DS SERIES#
The bug occurs on the ninth floor of the tower, during the second play through. Capcom Card Fighters is the first new game in the series since 2000. Power Stone characters are absent from the game.Īlmost immediately after the American NDS version was released, an unavoidable bug was discovered in the game.Many newcomers have been added from recent games produced by both companies, such as Capcom's Dante and Phoenix Wright as well as SNK's Yuki and Nagase.ADK characters were added to the SNK side, from games like Aggressors of Dark Kombat, Ninja Master's -Haoh-Ninpo-Cho- and the World Heroes series. For once, it seems that the late launch of a title in Europe will be beneficial, because the European version of SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters DS wont come.This Nintendo DS game was released on Decemin Japan and was released on Apin the United States. It was the last game to be released for the Neo Geo Pocket Color in Japan. Instead of being released as two versions ( SNK and Capcom), this game was released as a single version that lets the players decide to either start with a SNK deck or a Capcom deck. Another new feature is special character cards with alternate versions of various characters depicted with regular artwork instead of the super deformed style. In addition to the 240 character and 60 action cards from the first game, 124 new cards are added, adding cast from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage, The King of Fighters ' for SNK, and Project Justice, Mega Man Legends, Dino Crisis and Onimusha for Capcom, while also including 40 Reaction cards that can be used during the opponent's attack. This Japan-only sequel to SVC: Card Fighters' Clash was released in 2001 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color after Capcom vs. fighters) are allowed in each player's field at any given moment and there is no mana to be spent to place them in the field (there are, however, Special Points, SP for short, which are gained as fighters are placed in the field and spent as the players use Action Cards - this game's equivalent of Enchantments - or combined attacks). Each version of the game has a different starting deck and different exclusive cards that can be obtained, but the gameplay remains the same, with card battles resembling a somewhat simplified version of Magic: The Gathering, in which a maximum of three "creatures" (i.e. There are two complementary versions of the game: the SNK version and the Capcom version. Characters in the game are illustrated in the super deformed art style. The first game in the series, released in 1999 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color handheld console, was the first crossover between SNK and Capcom. Note: Be careful not to register the new formed deck recipe to deck recipe B or you will lose a card instead of gaining one.1999 video game SNK vs. You will now find the card you just added increases by the number you added. This game possesses a collectible trading card theme, with artworks on the cards featuring characters from both SNK and Capcom companies, including references from the games of both companies too. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing recipe select "Yes". The 1st 2 Card Fighters games were released on the Neo-Geo Pocket Color, and now the series make its debut on the Nintendo DS Platform. Register the new formed deck recipe to deck recipe A (touch the menu button, then the second button seen). Take out the card(s) (apart from what you just added) from the deck so that the number of cards is 50. Add the card you want to duplicate to the deck (max. Load recipe B (touch the menu button above the "Ok" button, then the first button seen). Note: This trick requires two deck recipes, naming one recipe A and the other recipe B. In this mode, you can battle any previously defeated Boss again. Complete the building 100% to select any floor.
I decided to make this post to show that shipp was not meaningless in the manga
❤ Enjoy ❤
Chapter 21 Images
Still in chapter 20 I wanted to show the two together listening to Jean talking
This sequence of images from chapter 23
Still in chapter 23
Off: It’s curious how in this chapter she has two chances to kill Armin and even then she doesn’t.
This sequence from chapter 31
Off: Even though she knows that Armin is luring her into a trap (shown in her focus by placing the ring), she goes with him
Still in chapter 31
Off: Another thing I noticed is that every time Annie starts a dialogue, she talks directly to Armin
I don't remember any other Aruani’s scenes in the course of the manga until chapter 106.
If anyone wants to comment on another scene that I forgot between these chapters, feel free
He talking to her in chapter 106
Hitch who already knows his feelings for her in chapter 110
The scene in chapter 124 is just Armin realizing that if Eren took off Reiner's armor, Annie came out of the crystal
Annie confirming in chapter 125 that only Armin and Hitch came to talk to her
Sequence of Annie eating a pie and going to save the world with Armin and Connie in chapter 126
For me, this scene from chapter 128 is Annie trusting Armin as hope.
The whole conversation in chapter 131, where Armin admits how he feels about her (of course, the conversation goes much deeper, but I won't say too much)
Annie seeing Armin as her hope. And Mikasa realizing that she likes him in 132
Y’all where probably waiting for this so here goes nothing.
1)
Ok so, we start off with knowing that Annie’s papi is still alive and realizing that he’s fucked unless Annie gets there in time to save him
2)
Reiner is best cousin
3)
So you’re telling me that enormous centipede is Eren? what... the freak. It’s also cute how Reiner is carrying Gabi
4)
Rest babe, you deserve it :(
5)
This shit really fucking burns. They’re blaming themselfs i can’t- Armin is the only one who’s truly shook
6)
Connie honey no, feed Zeke to your mom but not a kid
7)
Yeah ok, Connie lost his mind. It’s over.
8)
CONNIE GET BACK HERE WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN’T THINK HE WAS SERIOUS OH MY GOD-
9)
I can’t look at him... it hurts so much to see him like this... he didn’t deserve this... Nile sweetie i’m so sorry... i’m so sorry that you have to leave your wife and daughters because of a stinky monkey’s scream. Tell Mike and Erwin that i love them.
10)
Well hey, at least Gabi saved Kaya. Gotta admit that i’m proud of Gabi so far, she’s been brave and i can see the changes in her.
11)
Yams really loves to bring up Sasha just to rub the salt into the wound, doesn’t he? he’s been doing that ever since she died :’)
12)
I can’t describe just how proud i am of Shadis. We just don’t deserve him. He’s old as shit yet he’s still able to fight titans while i, at 22 years old, can’t even get out of bed. I stan.
13)
Yelena is so shook but it’s understanable, she got introduced to the Ackerqueen in the most badass way ever. Watch and learn Yelena, watch and learn.
14)
Jean, you need to chill YOU’RE MAKING ME WISH THAT I WAS THAT SPEAR
15)
I’m crying so godamn hard. Pixis i’m sorry that you too had to go because of a fucking monkey. Tonight, i’ll drink Vodka in your honour.
16)
Louise said: Heart eyes motherfucker (me too girl)
17)
BAD BITCHES POSE
18)
Jean is so disappointed that Floch lived ashidfuafg what a mood, i feel you babe. His face screams “i regret stopping Eren from beating his ass”
And lastly the only good thing that we got from this messy chapter
19)
I would like to thank Jesus, The Virgin Mary, God, Buddha, Allah, Superman, Batman, Ricardo Milos, Kiss and Isayama for letting my badass titan daughter Annie out of that damn crystal after 6-7 fucking years.
In conclusion, I want to choke the ever living daylights out of Zeke more than ever since Nile and Pixis died because of his fucking scream and i want Shadis to drag Floch across the rio grande and stomp him like a texas line dance.
The irony of this is just hurting me. Sasha who once saved the child from being eaten, killed by Gabi and now Gabi is the one saving the child all over again
