I just recently finished Attack on Titan and I've never interacted with the fandom until now to avoid spoilers. Nothing makes me happier and validated than seeing how the vet trio consistently dominates the popularity polls. Even though the story is supposed to center on the younger generation.

I love them. I love them so much.

brb watching erwin and levi each try to convince the other to escape because of 'strategic importance' and their belief that the other is where humanity's hope truly lies while levi sees himself as nothing more than a tool and erwin is drowning under the burden of his own misplaced guilt and knows this is his last stand, while also inhaling and crying into a full sized pizza. peak saturday night activities out here.

idk how to make tik tok edits but i must speak my truth

the “one for the money, two for the show” trend with the vets trio. people keep getting it wrong. the correct order is:

elvis- hange

taylor- erwin

lana- levi

i am correct argue with the wall

#i hear your ‘hange is not elvis’ defense and challenge you #especially when everyone’s still alive. they are so much more elvis than erwin is.#also mastermind by taylor swift is such an erwin song. so he’s taylor on principle #aot #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #snk #erwin smith #levi ackerman #hange zoe #hange zoë #hanji zoe #aot veterans #aot vets #vets trio

Who's your second favorite man from AOT? I would say Jean, but Erwin is very close to that title.

You are correct!!! Erwin was my second fav man :'). As you can see by now my absolute faves from snk are the veteran trio : Levi, Hanji and Erwin 💕

#What about you?#who are your top 5! bonus points if you name reasons why 🥰

as a Levihan shipper (like me ), what do you think of eruri and its popularity in the west? and also why do you think levihan is better than eruri? ( yes i know i am bias .. i am so Levihan trash)

Hello hello!

Uh oh, I feel we are trotting into a dangerous zone here xD /j But okay, here goes nothing >:D

Just to be safe, I'm going to abbreviate Erwin & Levi as EL.

Well, first of all, I like almost every dynamic between characters in SNK. IMO Isayama did a great job of building connections in his story. So, I don't really have NOTP(s) in SNK. Even if I don't ship A, B, C, or D romantically, I can still appreciate the bonds between those characters.

Regarding EL, if you've read one of my fics, you would know that I like the veterans, especially the veteran trio (Erwin-Levi-Hange). I really enjoy the relationship between Erwin-Levi, Levi-Hange, and Erwin-Hange. To me, they are close comrades who have deep trust in each other.

At first, I was not so sure what to make up in the relationship between EL though. I found Erwin to be quite intense back then, so I didn't know how to read the dynamic between him and Levi. As a trainee, Erwin seems to be much more outspoken and passionate. But as an adult, Erwin becomes more reserved. Therefore, I used to think that this man must have been hiding something. Then, I finally understood it all when I read about Erwin's backstory (and apparently he was hiding his trauma and guilt, who would've thought!).

Anyway, in short, I like EL! I feel like their personalities complete each others and they have their fair share of both meaningful as well as comedic moments. What makes them interesting to me is that they are the kind of people that you would never thought would be friends, but well apparently they are. Some might argue that Erwin was only using Levi to reach his goal. But I disagree, even in a world where there are no titans around, I still believe they would become great friends who can rely on each other. So yeah, I can see the appeal of EL.

Hence, I can understand why they are so popular, both in Japan and the west (and internationally tbh). However, their popularity had never bothered me since I already knew that M/M ships tend to be much more popular in almost every fandom in existence. I mean I've shipped Levihan (and Aruani) since 2013 and oh boy we were like a small cheerleading club back then xD

To be quite honest, I don't think Levihan is better than EL. I mean sure, in my book they are the best HAHA but I tried to never really put any relationships in a hierarchy. To me, shipping characters are more about preferences anyway. Like, we tend to ship a pair with dynamics or tropes that we love.

I ship Levihan (and not other Levi's ships) because they embody many tropes & dynamics that I like, such as opposites attract (this feels like their trademark tbh). However, their main appeal to me is the way that their relationship feels so mature and healthy but also FUN. Despite their stark differences, they are able to trust and look after each other, not only in combat but also outside. You can see them fighting together in one chapter and then see them teasing each other in the next chapter.

I also like the fact that they don't always bound together. I like crumbs (and full meal) as much as next guy, but I actually appreciate that they have their own characters moments as well as relationships with other people. It highlights their personalities which make their dynamics—when they are together—much more interesting.

Not only that, before chapter 126, their relationship and moments were actually pretty subtle (the one where you kinda have to squint to see or blink-and-you-miss-it kinda thing). Which I LIKE SO VERY MUCH! I actually prefer subtle romantic-ish moments between characters over blatant romantic moments. I like ships with potential, ships that will give me enough (not too much and not too little) materials to daydream every day HAHA. I mean, out of all the ships that I like, Levihan is the ship that I have the most fanfic ideas. They are my go-to ship every time I need to distract myself lmao.

I feel like I want to say more but man, idk, I just like them I guess. I can't put my love for them into words T_T But to sum up my feelings about them: I WISH THEY WERE MY PARENTS

That's all anon! Thank you for the ask! I hope my answer makes sense to you xD

#levihan #asking for a tea #thanks anon for giving me the opportunity to overshare and to scream about my love for my parents

Bugs and New Beginnings

Inspired by the latest SNK Preschool merch!

This is sort of based off @shingekigoods and I yelling about how cute the new launch is!!!! (Psst did I mention they’ve got a whole variety of adorable merch on their blog???)

Simple Kidfic!! The veteran trio is all 4 years of age and I’ve dusted off my scant Paediatrics knowledge to write this! In short, here’s how the trio becomes a trio.

“Thinking Corner, now.”

That was the fifth time today. Or…no, Hange was quite sure it was five times. Hange had counted them all! And Hange was great at counting. The best! Hange could count all the way up to twenty! Of course, counting numbers was way less cool than counting bugs. Twenty ladybugs! Wouldn’t that be something? Oh! And imagine how many spots there would be! How many spots did a ladybug have, anyway? Perhaps —

Oh, right. Hange looked back to the boy, now quietly squatting in the Thinking Corner. Ee-something, his name was. Or at least that’s what Hange could make out when the little boy had first introduced himself to the class on Monday. It had been an exciting day, getting a new classmate! But the boy hadn’t seemed excited at all. He’d spoken so softly, dark eyes fixed to the floor, and ‘Eeb’ was all Hange heard.

Eeb never talked. He never played with anyone. Worst of all, Eeb never joined in during the Good Morning song! Many things about Eeb confused Hange. He was so quiet that Hange sometimes forgot he was there. But just as they did, the sound of screaming would erupt, and Teacher would be right there, lifting a snarling, kicking Eeb away from whichever group of kids was currently sitting on the ground with scraped knees. And just like that, he’d be sent to the Thinking Corner again. And just like that, more and more kids would call him “scary”.

Hange sighed, picking at a blade of grass.

There were only twenty more minutes of playtime left – if Hange counted to twenty really slowly, playtime would be over! And yet Eeb sat in the Thinking Corner alone, holding his Bunny. Eeb never let go of Bunny. Hange didn’t understand that either. If Hange held onto one toy and never let go, Hange wouldn’t have enough hands to hold other toys. Or bugs! Oh! Hange wished they had six whole hands to hold six times as many bugs! Just like —

“Hange? Are you okay?” Erwin asked, looking up from the thick book spread across his lap.

Erwin was Hange’s best friend. The best! He was really smart and always knew the right answers to things. And he liked bugs, just like Hange! He didn’t call them gross, or try to step on them. He helped Hange bug-hunt too – he’d bring all kinds of cool bug books to share so that they could name all the bugs in the garden!

Hange huffed, blowing a stray strand of hair away from their face. “Why doesn’t Eeb like us?”

“Dunno,” Erwin said thoughtfully. Hange nodded. Erwin always looked like he was thinking hard about things.

“Is he angry with us?” Hange offered.

Erwin was quiet again, tilting his head the way he usually did whenever he was thinking especially hard. “He looks sad, I think.” He said sagely.

“But why? How do you know?”

Erwin frowned. “Because you looked like that too.”

Hange wrinkled their brow. When? Hange wasn’t sad a lot. How could they be? Hange had their mom and dad, an ant farm, a new magnifying glass, and Hange could play with Erwin at school every–

And then it hit them. Ern, Kasa, and Arm’n had each other. So did Ymir and Hiso–Hista– Hi-something. Hange had Erwin. But Hange didn’t always have Erwin.

A long time ago, no one would play with Hange because they thought Hange was weird. And for a long time, Hange was very sad. The sort of sadness that made Hange want to curl up like a pill bug and disappear. It made school a big and lonely place. But all that changed when Erwin showed Hange an origami cricket he’d made during Craft Time, and told Hange that he didn’t think they were weird.

Hange and Erwin look over at Eeb, whose Thinking Corner time had ended ages ago, but who continued to sit there, quietly brushing the fur on his Bunny.

Then they looked at each other.

And they knew what to do.

—

They’d never seen Eeb up close, Hange realised. He was much tinier than the other kids! Eeb’s jumper sleeves were way too long, almost covering his hands, while the hem of his shorts reached past his knees. He reminded Hange of a little ant — a clever, hard-working one with a shiny dark exoskeleton and tiny little legs. Hange always wanted a little brother, and since Eeb was tinier than them, that counted, right? As Erwin and Hange got closer, Eeb barely looked up. He kept brushing his Bunny’s fur, adjusting the bow around its neck with his tiny, gentle fingers. The more Hange thought about this, the more confused they got. How could anyone call someone so gentle, “scary”?

Hange was about to say hi, when Erwin suddenly crouched all the way down, the way he always did when he was trying to look at a butterfly without scaring it away.

“Hi! I’m Erwin and this is Hange!” Erwin smiled, blue eyes glittering like dragonfly wings in the sunlight. “What’s your name?”

Eeb said nothing, just looked at Erwin, then Hange. He looked a little scared, so Hange plopped down next to Erwin. Eeb jumped a little, bringing one of his tiny thumbs to his mouth, then deciding against it at the last second.

Eeb whispered something that neither Hange nor Erwin caught.

“Whatcha say?” Hange scooted closer.

Eeb tried again, slightly louder this time.

“Ee-bi?” Hange’s eyes widened.

Ee-bi (or Not Ee-bi) shook his head and tried again.

“Um…,” Hange looked over at Erwin. Something seemed to dawn on Erwin, who perked up.

“Oh! Levi? Is that your name?”

And finally, Levi nodded, dark eyes peering up from below a curtain of hair that shone like a black beetle’s shell. So that was his name! Levi! What a cool name!

“Do you wanna play with us?” Erwin tilted his head thoughtfully. Again, Levi looked confused, almost surprised. He reminded Hange a little of a spooked kitten.

“Yeah! Whaddya wanna do? We can play anything!” Hange offered. If Levi didn’t want to play bug-hunt, Hange didn’t mind much! Hange could learn what Levi liked, which would be just as exciting! But Levi didn’t look excited at all. In fact, he simply hugged his knees tighter, and shook his head.

“Want Faw’n an’ Is’bel,” he whispered. Hange looked at Erwin again. What did he mean? Hange knew everyone’s names, and there wasn't anyone in class called that. Erwin looked just as confused, and when Levi’s lower lip started to tremble, Hange saw an expression they never saw on Erwin’s face – worry.

But Hange had always wanted a little brother. Hange was sure they’d make a great big sibling! And so Hange surged forward to wrap their arms around Levi, because that’s what big kids were supposed to do for littler ones. Hange wasn’t sure why Levi wasn’t with the rest of the little kids in the other class, but either way, Hange would look out for him. Levi wouldn’t have to feel sad, or lonely, or scared again.

And as Erwin gently folded his arms around the pair, Hange knew in that moment that Erwin had made the same promise too.

𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 [ 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬 ]

cw: brief mention of (titan) blood

word count: 1.2k

characters: veteran trio x gn!reader

❀ levi ackerman

you were busy checking your straps and gear when you heard the rapid sound of horses approaching. you did not bother to look at the incoming people, your brain too busy trying to comprehend the fact that you are on the front lines. most importantly, you are a recruit, a FRESH GRADUATE and the commander positioned you on the front lines.

you were nudged on the sides by a fellow graduate, making you turn to her with an exasparated expression, the anxiety clinging to your bones. she then pointed to the front with her lips, "hey, that's captain levi right?" she wanted to confirm to you.

you glanced at the front and sure enough, you saw the ebony haired midget busy checking his blades. "yeah? what am i supposed to do? clap and give him a grand entrance party?" you replied in harsh, hushed voice. your comrade rolled her eyes and fixed her boot.

you were calling to every god that might be out there when you encountered an abnormal who was keen on getting to you. it seemed like your prayers was answered when you spot a forest within your line of sight. you sped through the clearing and when you steadied yourself on a high branch, you let out a sigh of relief.

you anticipated the abnormal's incoming attack so when it passed by you, you seized the opportunity to slice its nape, making it fall to the ground. you let go of your worries and settled on the branch, taking a moment to catch your breath.

oh if you only knew how wrong of a move that was.

a quiet, abnormal titan was hiding behind the thick tree all this time, and upon seeing you relax, it took the opportunity to hold you in its enormous hands. you felt all air escape your lungs as its fingers digged into your ribs.

and when you thought you'll never taste your mother's meal again and instead become a titan meal, the familiar stench of titan blood and the foreign feeling of falling to the ground. before you could think, your body already reacted as you maneuvered yourself to the trunk of the tree.

on the head of the titan stood a small figure, drenched in blood and looking at you with a gaze you couldn't decipher. before flying off somewhere, captain levi turned to you one more time.

"don't let your guard down idiot. wouldn't want a recruit dying right now"

you guess you do owe him a clap and grand welcome party

❀ erwin smith

the air was stiff and a wave of unease was flying around in the crowd. a person began to turn, walking away from the packed crowd. another followed, then another, and another, until the people who remained can be counted on two hands.

your knees buckled, contemplating your choices. you ranked 4th goddamn it, so why are you going to the scout regiment when you have the option to live safely in the military police brigade.

when you thought about switching in the last minute, you looked up from the ground, just on time to see bright, blue eyes star back at your own eyes. the gaze was firm, but not condescending. the commander's eyes remained on you, and it seemed as if it was asking a question.

"will you turn back to live a life peace? or will you stay and fight for survival?"

at that seemingly loud question, you stood rooted in place and faced ahead with a firm expression plastered on your face, failing to see the small smile on the commander's lips.

let bygones be bygones. your knees no longer buckled amd all sweat that adorned your forehead earlier was no more. there was nothing to lose.

well, your life actually.

but nothing seemed to matter at that moment. because those blue eyes that stared at yours was similar to that of the sky, limitless and endless. going beyond the walls was crazy enough. but it would be crazier if you turned back and denied yourself the opportunity to see more of that sky.

"you are brave souls who dare to wander the world beyond these walls. strong minds whose curiosity can only be quenched by the truth. and honorable people who fight for humanity and its future. i welcome you all to the scout regiment. devote your hearts!"

you finally understood that this is commander erwin smith of the scout regiment. he wields power and uncontrollable desire for truth and freedom.

he understood you as well, in your brief moment of hesitance. you seemed like another body, another life he would willingly give up and add to the mountained pile of former members who ceased to be. as if atop all those countless bodies, was the truth he desires to see.

and as you saluted, your eyes faltered to the determined look on the commander's face. you let out a sigh, of relief or worries, you did not know. but one thing is certain.

you would not regret your decision in joining the regiment.

❀ hange zoë

you stood by on the sides, making sure that the titans were bound tightly and securely to the makeshift chains. you couldn't risk these two abnormals to be set free and wander in wall rose. you sighed to yourself, thinking about possible reasons why the scout regiment would take in these titans, just adding to the workload of the garrison.

though you really had no right to complain because you were just loitering around and guarding the walls while the other was risking their life beyond the walls to search for the truth and freedom. as for the other regiment, they can burn in hell already because all they know is how to kiss the monarchy's ass.

hearing the commotion outside, you surmised that the four-eyed section commander must be here to visit her "babies", whom she named sawney and beane. she was still at the prime of her youth but she seemed to have a few screws lose up there.

she began to approach the titan beside you, putting little to no distance between her and the titan's face. you stepped in and pushed her chest back a bit.

"hey, don't get too close, we don't have tools to restrain its mouth" you scolded and motioned to her assistant, who quickly came to aid and pulled her back. but yours and his strength was not enough to keep the brown haired girl from cradling the titan's face.

oh my god when will your shift end.

and when you sensed movements from behind the titan, you sped through and pushed the woman away before the titan's teeth even had the chance to graze her.

she laughed in delight and hooked an arm around your shoulders, pulling you in close as his assistant tried to pry her off of you.

she is insane.

"hey, that was a close one! i would've lost my head if it weren't for you! thanks a lot, soldier" she said and went back to cradling her titans, checking their pain tolerance and resistance.

you stared at her and antics, surely, she was of sound mind. she's just really amazed by titans and their abilities and qualities, which pushes her to know everything about her.

she is insane. you love your job here in the garrison and you hoped you'll never cross path again with that woman.

but there was something inside you that that tugged as you walked away.

do you really want to stay in the garrison? or does the scouts have something more to offer?

Help a brother out. I need slice of life fanfics or fan comics featuring Erwin, Hange, Levi, Nile, and Miche. Not in the mood for romance or smut (yet). God I wish there were more OVAs featuring these guys. I want to know more about their training corp days and their friendship. Hello?? Mr Perfect Stoic Erwin mothering fucking Smith used to get drunk with the guys at the bar?? And they're not going to elaborate on that?!

I've read all the smart passes, listened to the Drama CDs that have translations, pilfered through the non canon parody of Junior High only reading the parts with THEM in it for some CRUMBS, AND ITS NOT ENOUGH 🔫
