I was just wondering, in regards to my earlier repost......would it have made a lot more sense to position the Tyburs as Eren's main opponent in saving Paradis and thus making them a more proactive presence, regardless of whether the Rumbling remains canon?
The Tyburs are as I said before, an utterly underwhelming factor of the story given how quickly they are killed after the truly baffling revelation that they are Eldian themselves governing Marley. And General Theo Magath hardly justifies his involvement as he too is killed off criminally early in his campaign to stop Eren and perhaps even is too quick to see the error of his ways in the pacing of the final arc. Sure him seeing how badly Marley screwed itself is a slightly better executed "arc" compared to Gabi's bullshit story where she still faced nothing for her crimes, but his impact is still middling by the time he dies with Keith at his side.
Perhaps if Willy had been leading the charge and Lara was actually built up as a warrior in her own right and not some random homemaker lady with no plot or personality to go by....or if someone else had been given the bloody Warhammer and actually executed its awesome power.....I mean it's an Eldian clan willing to wipe out their own kind up against the Eldians determined to reclaim their place in the world, I feel like the points expressed through characters like Magath or even Garbage Braun could have been better conveyed through the Tyburs going up directly against Eren rather than further distracting us with one plot that proved inconsequential and several character arcs that further distracted from the main flow of the story.
And to those of you still foaming at the mouth at Willy's iconic death in "Declaration of War", save your spazzing out for someone who gives a damn, that episode is as shit as the rest of this three year long final season. It's a stupid death when you consider how it voided such a puzzling revelation on Marley's side of the story.
Obviously I haven't worked out all the finer details so I'm sure there's some holes in my logic.....but I feel like several major points could have been salvaged with a different approach here. Something I think worth discussing.
Tumblr media
Shout-out to @glassesntea for their original post on the topic of the Tyburs. I think if you're going to introduce this kind of information into the story, you should follow through on it. Make it come full circle. Isayama really dropped the ball on this, harder than when Gabbitch Braun was dropped on her head at birth.

Attack on Prime Chapter 82: Hope
Summary: Megatron discusses plans with his secondary team, leaving many to make difficult choices. Meanwhile, the Survey Corps are still trying to contemplate Eren's disappearance and their dwindling odds.
Sneak Peek:
Mikasa let out a battle cry as she charged at Arcee’s holoform, blades from her gear in hand. Arcee quickly ducked as Mikasa swiped for her head and kicked her in the gut. Mikasa coughed up spit as she was sent rolling across the ground. Levi immediately took over as he swung his blades upwards to try and damage the holoform. Arcee managed to bend backwards at the last second before kicking one of Levi’s blades out of his hands and up in the air. Arcee caught it before spinning and slashing at his torso twice. The first slash managed to cut through Levi shirt, but Levi managed to block the second one. Arcee was ready to thrust the blade forward, but stopped when she noticed movement behind her. She quickly flipped to her left and dodged a downward strike from Mikasa. Both blades ended up getting stuck in the ground, and Mikasa grunted in frustration as she tried to pull them out.
Levi rushed forward and attacked Arcee’s side, only for Arcee to quickly block his blade. The two soldiers continued to clash, their blades connecting and even creating sparks. Meanwhile, the rest of the Survey Corps continued to watch the battle, calmly eating their snacks with intrigue.
“Ackermans, am I right?” Sasha remarked.
“Seems like Levi is doing better than Mikasa though,” Jean commented, “Why is that?”
“I would have to assume battle experience,” Armin answered, “Levi is older than Mikasa and has been in the Survey Corps for longer.”
“Do you think Mikasa can catch up?” Jean asked him.
“I don’t know,” Armin admitted, “But this should help Mikasa improve in some way.”
Final call for the pilot poll!

2:19 am.
(repost)
Levi kisses your shoulder.
“I love you.”
Your collarbone.
“I love you.”
Your throat.
“I love you.”
Coming up to face you again, your hand immediately reaches for his cheek. He leans down, kisses every teary pearl on your face away, but they only keep coming. He kisses your eyes, kisses under them, feeling your tears soak his trembling lips.
“We’re gonna be okay. We’re gonna be fine.” It seems like he’s trying to reassure himself along with you, and it also seems like he’s doing a poor job of keeping his own tears in check. There is a lump in his throat, his eyes sting bad, he’s afraid he’ll crack at any given moment. “I trust you, baby. I trust you. We’ll make it out just fine.”
The pair of you were supposed to be sound asleep, preserving every possible ounce of energy for the attack on Marley beginning in only a few hours, but sleep remains a stranger to the Survey Corps on nights before their inevitable march to their possible death.
Eyes open or closed, every cadet, every soldier, everyone that carries the burden of the wings of freedom on their backs lay awake in their beds. Some stay unmoving, some whisper with their roommates, some are stuck in their own heads, and some decide to love each other like it’s the last time.
Because maybe it is.
You can’t remember who started it, but you and Levi usually get clingier as expeditions near, and you find yourselves huddled in a mess of pillows and sheets and blankets not so long after your arrival to your shared quarters for the night.
It started steamy, harsh, hungry, but true emotions eventually surface, and neither of you is able to let go of the other. You begin to tear up when reality finally hits, seeing the silver band on his ring finger twinkle in the dim light of the room that copies your own, and you break when he begins to speak.
“We’ll be fine.” He’d said then , voice clear and soothing.
“I’ll follow you wherever you go,” He says now, eyes glossy, voice strangled.
When you pull him to wrap your arms around his neck, your mind is too conflicted between the complete opposition of emotions rushing through your head, running back and forth between pleasure and grief of what to be lost in a few hours. You can’t help the noise you make as tears continue to flow freely while he gives you his all, fucking every emotion he feels right into you.
“I can’t exist without you anyways, can I?” He mumbles in your neck, making sure you hear him over your own noises before he bends up to take a good look at you, to make sure your image is burned in his memory like a stamp, branding his very being as your own.
Teary, flushed face, hair a mess on the sheets, mouth open wide with uncontrollable pleasure, he doesn’t think you ever looked as vulnerable as you look right now. Your droopy eyes pour into his own, neither able to look away, neither able to feel anything but the other.
“Walls, you’re the best fucking thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”
You’re close. The invisible string keeps tightening and tightening for the walls-only-know time, and your overstimulation is melting your agonized pain away. Levi notices by the way you tighten around him again, the way a hand flies to your hair, the other reaching desperately out to him, and he’d rather stop breathing than not reach back to you.
He is bending back down to hold you through your orgasam when you finally let go, you twitch and squirm in his arms, his name the only thing on your tongue.
“Levi!” You whimper.
“Levi…” You whine.
“Luh-Le’vi.” You sob.
Levi kisses every available patch of skin his lips can find, sweet nothing tumbling out of his lips. He fucks you through your orgasam, chasing his own with the sticky reminder on your stomach burning through him; that he should pull out soon.
You become incredibly tight around him that he feels the air getting knocked out of his lungs even more. With one last kiss to your cheek, he begins to lean back up, ready to pull out and let go, but he finds himself locked in place.
You hold him with all your might, frightened eyes locking with yours when he raises his head.
“It’s okay,” You tell him, his hips faltering. “Please. I need you. I need you.”
Levi’s head swims, he does his best to slow down his movements. His eyes look within yours for an answer to his unspoken questions.
“What?” He can’t help but let out.
“Just this once,” Your eyes well up once more. “I want to feel you just this once.”
His own overstimulation seems to get the best of him because this was his breaking point. Levi can no longer suppress his emotions, but he does his best to hide his face away from his lover.
He kisses you hard this time. A hand cages you to the bed while the other caresses your soaked cheek, and you sob when he starts to move again. You arch your back, doing your best to meet his every need as you both cry in each other’s arms, with another inevitable build tickling the back of your brain.
The overflowing emotions delay his release just enough for the pair of you to let go together, bodies pressed so close that they almost mold into one. Whimpers and moans of each other’s names echo in the empty quarters, exhausted bodies relaxing as you feel your walls painted warm with his release.
Levi can’t hold himself up anymore. The pair of you are overstimulated to the brim, crying and crying and crying over everything that you can’t control, and you feel your heart melt at your bond as it gains even more strength with each and every silent or audible sob.
Minutes later, after you both managed to calm down just enough to be able to function again, Levi raises his head from your chest, bloodshot eyes a mirror of your own.
A shaky hand creeps to your cheek. He tries again.“We’ll be fine.”
“I love you,” You whisper, eyes closing to lean in his touch.
And it’s cruel that this is your way of saying goodbye, untrusting of the world to let you be in each other’s arms one more time.

This page is my roman empire ive been thinking abt this all the time since reading it.
Like yeah Eren and the Shiganshina gang were only kids when wall Maria was breached, but so were the warriors. The marleyan warriors started training at the ages FIVE TO SEVEN. They were genuinely pre-adolescent, kindergarten aged children. Then they're given MASSIVE responsibilty and were shipped off to a titan infested island in the middle of the fucking ocean, with instruction to kill an entire society of people they had been brainwashed to believe were a race of devils. Thats not even mentioning that THEY THEMSELVES were a part of that race!!!
Like yeah, what they did was fucking abhorrent, BUT THEY WERE BRAINWASHED NINE YEAR OLDS!!! 😭

Is it safe to assume that this is what his office looks like? He is already Vice Chief of the Warrior Unit here... so this can't be too near from when they returned to Marley. After all, the brass won't just throw that position at him for having failed the operation. So this could be somewhere during their 4 year war with the Mid-East Alliance.
It could be a waiting room too, but there are documents scattered on the table. So it's either an office or personal quarters... but they are in Liberio, and he has a house there with his mom... the former moreso the latter.
Willing to becha that gramophone is bugged too.
Also, not Reiner spacing out when he is alone thinking of what happened in Paradis. I feel this is too common for him.
But also, these clothes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The outer coat doesn't look very military standard... so perhaps it's part of his personal wardrobe. The inners though look very similar to the combat issued uniform that Marley has. I dunno if it's the lighting that's making it less white than it should be or if it really is just a piece of clothing that looks similar. The shape, form, and structure looks very close. It's just missing the Eldian pin which can be remove, either way. And then the inner shirt can be part of his personal attire as well. Pants, from this angle also looks like the one that comes with their military issued uniform, along with the boots.
Makes me wonder if this is his few moments of solitude before preparing for a mission...

I’ve spoken at length about Gabi Braun, to put it extremely mildly......
Do you folks want to know how I really feel about the other tagalong kid in this series? The unironic darling of all those who are still following season four?

Hello
Can I request a reunion between Megatron and Predaking in the Predaking timeline. These two have a lot of shit to deal with, and since they're both working on each other, maybe it won't end in a fight. Besides, Hange would probably ask Predaking something every now and then
Part 6: The agreement
They technically had a reunion. Predaking tried to kill Megatron and then came to the island with Kenshin on his back. But I finally have an idea to pick up where I left off.
So Predaking goes and searches for the Warriors beyond Hizuru's borders. He remembered hearing from Kenshin regarding a war in the Middle East and follows the smell of iron, metal, blood, and energon. After searching, he finds the remnants of a war-torn battlefield. He sees the corpses of humans and the rotting bones of the energon titans. Predaking is curious. He wants to know more, and he picks up an active smell of blood and energon before following it. His flying still carries on into the night and he finds the end of the trail. It's in the forest. With no one there. Something was wrong. Then he recognizes it.
Predaking quickly dodges gunfire as Pieck attacks him with the Panzer Unit on her back. Predaking doesn't fly away yet but still does defend himself. He shrouds himself in the foliage and trees as the Panzer Unit continues to fire at him. Predaking does notice the way that Pieck's veins glow and that her eyes are blue. This...thing had energon in it! An organic had energon! Predaking doesn't know if he should be disgusted or angry. Someone had clearly defied order for their own gain, and after the incident with Unicron. He wasn't keen on repeating that again.
Pieck is trying to get a good visual on this creature that had been following them but she can't tell what it looks like or where it is. All she sees is an outline. But then her comrades call for her. She sees in her vision a massive metal lizard standing tall with something orange burning in its chest. That light crawl from its chest, up its neck, to its mouth. Before Pieck could muster a thought, Predaking fires at her. His attack burns the Panzer Unit to a crisp and left her with severe burns. Predaking, thinking Pieck is dead, flies off. But Pieck is still alive and manages to catch a glimpse of Predaking flying away in the moonlight before passing out.
The Marleyan units find her and bring her to safety. They were already heading back to Liberio and they needed to get her to safety. Megatron, posing as Matthew, is stunned to hear that Pieck was attacked and fatally wounded while also losing her Panzer Unit. Megatron listens in on the conversation being had, and he realizes that from Pieck's description is that of Predaking. Predaking encountered Pieck, and now Marley was aware of Predaking.
Now Megatron has been making efforts to avoid Predaking, but now he is so fucking angry right now. His stupid stunt may have just costed them all everything! Megatron obviously doesn't tell Zeke. That night, Megatron actively goes to Hizuru and demands Predaking to wake up! Predaking is fully ready to attack him out of tiredness and anger but Megatron demands to know what the hell he was doing in Marley! Why was he involved in the Middle Eastern War?! Predaking said he wanted to see what these Warriors! Megatron, despite his own fear, chews Predaking out for his stupidity! Because the Cart Titan is still alive and Marley is aware of his existence! That compromises Hizuru! That compromises the crown! That compromises Paradis long term and Megatron's own mission! Megatron calls Predaking out for still valuing his savage might instead of actually using cunning! He's not thinking at all!
Predaking can't help but get angry. He never cared about the humans and rightfully calls him out on it. He suddenly cares for these humans! Does he care that the Rumbling will get activated?! Why is he putting so much effort in the first place?! Megatron justifies it as his own personal gain, but Predaking rightfully doesn't believe him. Megatron doesn't care, and orders Predaking to stay away from Marley. Predaking feels threatened and warns Megatron about Mikasa, but Megatron reminds him of Kenshin and the people that worship him. That they will die if he does something stupid like this again.
Predaking wants to kill him, but he doesn't have anything else he could say that would paint him in the right. Megatron takes his silence as confirmation before flying back to Paradis.
(Wow. I have not touched up on this story in a while.)

My tribute to Jean, the most reasonable character on Paradise
Tumblr media
From his argument with himself about continuing fighting after he got what he would seem to dream about and to the moment “this is what the Survey Corps is famous for” when he is hanging on the bones with Reiner. I like this range

Hii regarding your tags on that autism fueled-rant post, you mentioned talking about the ramifications that the aftermath of the rumbling would have and!! I have been thinking about that nonstop for the past couple of weeks and I’ve been searching everywhere for posts discussing it and I haven’t found much in depth stuff!! I haven’t read the entire manga but I have read the conclusion and I really don’t like how it just timeskips and doesn’t discuss much about what life is like after. So rn I’m working on a post-rumbling fic to fill in the blanks of what things would be like the following year. If you’re cool with exchanging ideas about it, what do you think would have transpired?
MANNNN you have no idea how long i've wanted to talk to someone abt this!!! i totally feel your pain😭
sooo we know that the world map of aot is just backwards + upside down version of the real world. this is even more supported by names like the Port of Acrifa (Africa) and Salta (Atlas) - to explain the names of regions in the map below.
what we don't know is just about everything else. cultures, technology, populations everywhere except for Paradis, Marley (and very roughly) Hizuru? nope. so this is going to require some speculating.
credit to this reddit post for the best approximation of aot's world map.
I highlighted Paradis in yellow, marked L for Liberio, and i marked X where Fort Salta is. really all you need to know about that place (if you don't already) is that's where the Rumbling stops.
therefore, the Rumbling got this far:
Tumblr media
so, what the fuck does THIS mean?
WELL FIRST OF ALL...
this is a map of where the Walls are canonically situated on Paradis Island:
Tumblr media
...did Eren actually get the Titans to stomp out all life on the majority of the fucking island???? did the Wall Titans just step around all people inhabiting those areas?? are there enough gaps between the individual Wall Titans to preserve the island?
also, did just the Wall Maria Titans walk? otherwise the only preserved part of Paradis would be all the land in Wall Sina.
if i'm missing something, please let me know. i'm going to operate on the assumption that it's a plot hole, because otherwise, Paradis would be a destroyed nation after the Rumbling.
therefore, the timeskip where Paradis is shown to be a thriving fascist military state simple wouldn't make sense.
moving on, during the Rumbling, 80% of humanity is just exterminated. so the vast majority of the human population was apparently concentrated in Marley (the African continent), and parts of the Middle East and Asia.
we're never given a number for the human population on AOT's earth before the rumbling, but say we placed it at 1.5 billion like our earth in 1920—to adjust for the technology apparently available seen mostly in Marley (black and white photographs, model-t cars, etc).
120 million people. so it seems a bit more realistic that 120 million people could be left in the unshaded region.
it doesn't need to be said that Marley has practically been wiped out. so what does that mean for the world?
at best, it's gone from the leading world power to a “third-world” country. That's pretty much the bulk of the devastation from a political perspective, but the leading world power is gone.
imagine modern China or the USA just disappearing off the face of the earth. Marley contained the majority of the world's population too. so total economic collapse, right?? a global recession, economic ruin for decades to come.
would war immediately break out for that land?
FUCK NO!! it's pure wasteland coated with blood, flattened ruin, and carrion. totally inhospitable. there is nothing left. (that's depicted in a panel from ch139 that i won't show just in case of spoilers.)
but you can bet your ass that nations after the Rumbling are going to turn on Paradis. right, Eren frightened the world into submission—but he said himself that it'll be decades before there's a counterattack. so in the meantime, Paradis canonically becomes a fascist military state.
WORLD WAR.
a few decades after the Rumbling ends, there will be all-out war, and not just out of the fear and hatred we're familiar with.
however, in the following year like you asked, by-far i imagine people globally would be in a complete state of shock, still reeling—especially politically—from the devastation. that's the best way I would sum it up.
probably imagine the state of the world after WW2, except the political and socio-economic equivalent of the USA and parts of western Europe were bombed into nothingness.
and resources?
what effect did such decimation of life on earth the Rumbling caused do to the entire continent of (what is) Africa, the Middle East and a part of Asia?
i don't know enough about Africa, the Middle East and Asia to explain accurately, honestly. but undoubtedly, Eren fucked everyone over in severe respects globally and he didn't even succeed in exterminating humanity.
But also, we can't assume that the world of AOT is a perfect replica of our own in terms of... well, anything besides size and climate. the most useful info we know is that the vast majority of the world's population is (was) situated in those places.
climate map:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the majority of the world's deserts and tropical grasslands + much of the grassland is just.... gone.
so much farmland. at least I don't think that the world would be starving, but considering the economic breakdown i mentioned earlier, there would be plenty of anarchy in the first year following the Rumbling.
surely there would be a global shortage of oil? essential minerals found only in deserts? many types of animals would be extinct or pushed to the brink of it.
as for the ocean, Wall Titans are seen swimming through it, but what kind of impact would all that heat have on marine life?? NOT GOOD ONES.
sorry that i'm simply not knowledgable enough to give out many specifics, but for anyone who is, please add on if you'd like :) there's a ton of factors to consider in what the world would be like post-Rumbling, many of which i think would have to be filled in by fans since Isayama doesn't fill many blanks.
