Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
maybe im reading into things too much or maybe this is just common knowledge and im just really slow to find out about it but i just realized that there is some sick and twisted manipulation going on between eren and floch. like. eren really saw the one person who lost everything so abruptly and violently and was like "im gonna convince him the only way to keep his current living friends and family alive is to join my mass murder supervillian genocide plan" and holy shit i just put two and two together
OF COURSE floch's a jagerist he has arguably been through more than (most) of the main cast!!!! and eren's cause promises that he'll never have to suffer that again!!!! its so fucking obvious to me now ohhghhh my godd
OF COURSE he's gonna side with a violent plan he has no lived experience of conflict being solved with diplomacy none of these characters really have but its about how violently his worldview was flipped on its head
i cant remember if he was garrison or mp but either way the fucking whiplash of relatively cozy interior life to literally his first mission HE COMES BACK THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF (that side of the shinganshina wall) YEAH THATD FUCK SOMEONE UP
he is a bonkers good representation of radicalization as a result of trauma and i will not shut up about him
tldr: eren knew what he was doing targeting floch (and floch's probably pretty fragile mental state) into joining his genocide club
