Accurate depiction of everyone reading snk 139

Current state of the snk fandom:

Eren rly said: ok sounds like a good plan

Isayama how dare you?

Ever since Hanji became the commander Levi called her by her name, now I noticed he's back to his old nickname for Hanji, "shitty four-glasses", right before Hanji's about to sacrifice herself for humanity 😢

Eren Jaeger’s Final Words

So there are many people unimpressed with the final statement given by Eren’s character, either finding it inconsistent with the build up to this point, or too ambiguous a motivation for trampling all over the world. I’m not really here to talk about the quality of the story, whether it was good or bad, because I don’t really care. However, I think it’s fascinating what the text is trying to say about Eren’s character and his motivation. 

This is why, “I don’t know, shrug” is both an answer and not an answer to why Eren did what he did in the end. For making my point in this analysis, I’ll be talking about Eren’s character from Marley on showing both the Eren that appeared before Reiner, the one that talked to Zeke, and finally the one Armin saw are all the same person.

"Eren, you are free."

today i want to present you Gabi ‘i don’t fucking care about Falco’ Braun:

yeah

she doesn’t give a shit about Falco just at all

bonus:

Eren wants to forget. Mikasa chooses to remember.

If Eren really did send all these alternative universe visions to Mikasa, he wants to turn her back so she won’t follow the same bloody path as him. Eren sees their desire to be together as selfish one, because instead of fighting alongside with others and doing something great, they are choosing to live a peaceful life in mountains.

Eren loves his friends, but he is ready to sacrifice his love and humanity for a greater good. He doesn’t want them to remember him and bring them so much pain with his actions. He wants them to forget him so they won’t suffer as he did, when his close ones died.

But Mikasa sees it as the motivation to keep fighting and saving. She chooses to live so she will remember and the memory of her loved ones won’t die with her.

“Once I'm dead, I won't even be able to remember you. So I'll win, no matter what. I'll live, no matter what!”

Actually, before I thought that it was either because of her triggered anxiety, when she loose people she loves or when Ymir/Eren changes something in the timeline, but now it’s because Eren sends her alt. visions that should stop her from following him, but she still continues to move forward and stay by his side. Since she chooses to remember, Mikasa is technically opposing him and when she does, Mikasa gets a headache.

Mikasa’s selfish desire to be close to Eren saved so many people from Yeagerists and titans. Mikasa could simply die back in time and let herself be eaten by a titan. But her desire to love and remember pushes her to fight and simply live. Because of her Gabi wasn’t killed, Louise and her mom weren’t eaten by a titan, Kiyomi and her people didn’t die from hands of Yeagerists and much much more.

For Mikasa, love is a motivation. For Eren, love is a sacrifice.

Unless a Grain of Wheat Falls and It Dies...

Or, why I am pretty optimistic about the fates of Jean, Connie, Gabi, and all titanized people this chapter, which is also an excuse for me to talk about SnK’s allusions to Russian literature. 

There are strikingly parallel ideas The Brothers Karamazov and Attack on Titan, as well as parallel plot points and imagery to the point where if it isn’t deliberate, it’s uncanny. (NB: before people yell at me about comparing a Japanese and Russian work, Isayama has used Russian names since the start of SnK–Shiganshina is a Russian name.) In particular, there are narrative allusions to a portion of the novel known as “The Grand Inquisitor,” which is a short story within a novel. The central thesis of “The Grand Inquisitor” is as follows: 

nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human society than freedom. 

This parable is told within the story by Ivan Karamazov, a character whose intellectuality is his gift and his curse. He tells his brother Alyosha that the motivation for creating this parable is precisely the evils done to children (oh look, a major SnK theme) and specifically cites an example which was unfortunately taken from real life in Russia and which Isayama has an uncanny parallel:

I want to see with my own eyes the hind lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. I want to be there when every one suddenly understands what it has all been for. All the religions of the world are built on this longing, and I am a believer. But then there are the children, and what am I to do about them? That’s a question I can’t answer… If all must suffer to pay for the eternal harmony, what have children to do with it, tell me, please? … if it is really true that they must share responsibility for all their fathers’ crimes, such a truth is not of this world and is beyond my comprehension. Some jester will say, perhaps, that the child would have grown up and have sinned, but you see he didn’t grow up, he was torn to pieces by the dogs, at eight years old…

Nssssssssss

I normally am not crazy about anime original endings but I will accept this due to the fact her death was unnecessary.

I mean he could’ve at least been with a veteran for his ending.

The only Anime Original Ending that I‘m hoping for.

Sorry to all my erehisu shippers this is funny asf it was fun while it lasted tho 🤪

Accept it already guys lol

It’s Sunday y’all so you know what that means

I had this saved and it was too good to not post it

Because of all this political bullshit going on I haven’t had the chance to check out the snk spoilers (not that I want to 😬), the new season of the promised neverland, or the new season of beastars.

(if the theory about SC coworking with Zeke is true)

Mikasa: Are you really going to make deals with this dick?!

Eren: Carefully, Mikasa he's my brother

Mikasa: He is a dick

Eren: Still...

So, the most exciting thing to me in this episode, was how Eren showed himself to public. Like, it was epic, but he didn't even kill a lot of people. He didn't kill Rainer and Falco only because it's pointless and there was door behind Falco, when Eren transformed,the building behind scene didn't crush and he probably didn't kill Will either, because Will is a titan and cannot be killed just like that. So the whole point of episode was just Eren being a huge DRAMA QUEEN

Every time I read this chaper,where Eren scares Rainer as hell, I`m thinking of Levi somewhere looking at this,wiping a tear and saying “that`s my boy”

To all the subjects of Ymir:

My name is Eren Jaeger. I am using the power of the founding titan to adress all of ymir’s subjects.

The hardening of all the walls present on Paradis island has come undone. And all titans entrapped within them hace started marching. 

My objective is to protect the people of Paradis, the place where I was born and raised. However, the world wishes for the annihilation of the people of Paradis. 

The hatred that has been swelling up for so long will certainly not end, until not just the paradisians, but all of Ymir’s subjects have been eliminated. 

I reject this wish. The wall titans shall trample all earth outside of this island underfoot. Until all life existing there has been exterminated from this world.

the face of a person who has to be enemy with someone they once considered their friend

tfw you trained so hard so that titans won't be able to kill you only to find out that it'll be a kid who'll end up finishing your existence
