#what eren couldve been but wasnt

[teenitrash]

Something I noticed while watching the first 9 episodes of Season 4 is that Gabi is almost the exact opposite of Falco and is basically a parallel to Eren. Before you bash me, let me elaborate

For my first point, Falco is the voice of reason and more "thinking-driven" compared to Gabi, whereas she rushes into action and is more emotionally driven in the sense that she acts based on her feelings and doesn't think twice before acting. As I am saying this, Falco could actually be a parallel to Armin because he too was not very physically strong but he was smart and thought more than he fought. Both Eren and Armin, and Gabi and Falco are the opposites of each other.

For my second point, Eren was 12 when he witnessed titans invade his home and watch his village and loved ones get crushed. A literal parallel to Gabi where she witnessed titans invade her home as well, destroying it all and watching her loved ones die at a young age too. With that said, both her and Eren's first response was to get revenge, to kill them all (for Eren it was titans, for Gabi it was the "demons of Paradis Island").

They are two characters that can both be described as determined, angry, stubborn, headstrong, etc. In a sense, the way Eren saw titans and wanted to kill them all is the same way Gabi saw "bad Eldians" and wanted them all to die as well. If Marley was the victim and Paradis the villain in this situation, Gabi would've probably turned out to be exactly like Eren, save for the titan powers. She would've also grown up even more with the mindset that the bad Eldians should die and she would not stop until she achieves her goal, like Eren did.

And in the same way that Armin could never catch up with Eren, Falco can never catch up with Gabi. The only reason why we don't really see this though is because they were still 12 (?) when the war ended and they grew up further in a more peaceful environment restoring Marley/Paradis with Levi and such. If the war continued into their late teens/early twenties, Gabi and Falco would've probably ended up exactly like Eren and Armin. The one who destroys themself trying to end the war and the other who is left behind.

Eren and Gabi are actually so incredibly similar that it's insane. Gabi as a character is basically Isayama showing us Eren through a different lens, in different circumstances, in a different time period. A parallel of what Eren could've been if he wasn't born unlucky

i came across a post in which jean is, again, shown as a person who only has one purpose in life, which is, of course, becoming mikasas boyfriend!! because yeah, that’s it, his entire character!! his ultimate dream!! mikasa!!!1!!11

anyways

it made me remember a dream i had recently in which i was watching a new ep of snk and there was a part where the characters were supposed to throw the ball at the floor and the way it bounced off represented what the future was going to be like

and the production only decided to animate eren, mikasa and levi, and the rest of the characters were randomly popping up during the credits at the end and when it was jeans turn, his future was, you guessed it - mikasa

i was like, they couldve at least tried doing something else? but i guess if it wasnt that it wouldve probably been either the stupid horse thing or fighting with eren ¬.¬

he was so painfully out of character while he was speaking that i got mad at the production and how no one actually bothers with understanding him that i woke myself up
