“Seriously Armin every time you speak you’re advocating diplomacy and non-violence peace talks. That’s so Bertoldt…”
Armin: saved Eren and Mikasa from being hugged by a canon ball after Eren’s first transformation in the battle of Trost
Also Armin: desperately tried to persuade Annie to enter the tunnel
Also Armin, in Shiganshina: tried to negociate with Bertoldt
“…Armin why are you still visiting Annie? That’s so Bertoldt!”
Armin and Annie: spent 3 years together as Trainees
“Annie, you’re actually a kind person, aren’t you?” “Why did you spare my life?”
“You look like a wimp, but you’ve got guts.” “I’m glad I was a good person to you.”
“Bertoldt’s memories are clearly affecting you!”
Armin: “I actually don’t remember much about him.”
“Ackermans are all slaves to their instincts!”
Levi: awakened Ackerpowers before meeting Isabel, Farlan and Erwin, and was pretty much loyal to no one but himself for a long ass time
Kenny: awakened Ackerpowers before meeting Uri, and was pretty much loyal to no one but himself for a long ass time
Kenny’s grandpa: Ackermans were one of the only two clans to stand up to the First King’s ideology instead of money-grubbing it
“Ever since I was a child, I hated you Mikasa!”
“That’s why I used to be jealous, thinking why can’t I be strong like Mikasa and [Levi]. But maybe there’s a reason why we’re all different. They’re for [difficult] times like these, right?”
“I’ll wrap [that scarf around you] as many times as I need to. From now on, as many times as I need to.”
“I can’t let you inherit the Attack Titan. You’re all too important to me. I want you to live long and grow old.”
“You only cling to me because you tricked yourself into believing I was your liege/host!”
As if Mikasa wouldn’t behave any (or very) different if she wasn’t an Ackerman.
As if it were abnormal for a little girl who lost her family twice to grow to care for the little boy who taught her courage and how to live, who’s been with her after all these years.
It’s like saying Levi and Erwin wouldn’t be true friends otherwise. And neither would Kenny and Uri.
As if Mikasa would give up and stop fighting if she were an ordinary girl.
As if it would be unimaginable for her to join the military, as if there was no reason for her life choices if she had been anything but an Ackerman!
HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON HOSEOK
tumblr is REALLY fucking up this time.
they’re deleting all the popular update/daily blogs, for paparazzi pics? paparazzi takes pictures of people without consent, and makes MONEY off of them… and we can’t even edit them (without making money off them!) without getting deleted? meanwhile, there’s a whole ass MAP community on here, there’s nazi blogs, there’s legitimately BAD PEOPLE on here… and that’s fine! but god forbid people edit pictures.
this is going to make it so hard for content creators to get their edits noticed, because all the big blogs that would reblog it… are gone.
i’m…. upset. and annoyed. if you can’t fucking tell.
I regret nothing.
I think it’s very telling when ppl praise Nicholai for being edgy and ruthless and pissed off and for bitching at Jill when he meets her cause “oh he’s the villain duh!” But then they’re like “uwu why is Jill such a bitch? Why is she so angry? uwu”
Nicholai is allowed to be an asshole even though he gets his way in the game, while Jill isn’t allowed to be furious when she’s gone through so much bullshit :/
Please protect him at all cost
Connor, you had one job, and you’re doing amazing sweetie

I’m seeing some people defend the Russo’s by saying shit like “it’s not as if they started shooting the funeral scene as soon as they stepped on set they had a day to rehearse”
THATS NOT HOW ACTING FUCKING WORKS. NOT AT A HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION LEVEL AND SURE AS FUCK NOT AT A HOLLYWOOD LEVEL
1. Part of the reason rehearsal takes a while is to learn lines, but
2. Then it’s learning the delivery of the lines
3. Then it’s getting into the headspace of the scene and knowing which emotions to convey
4. And if they’re an especially talented actor, they’ll be acting with body language and facial expressions too, which also take time to get down
5. And some actors are method actors, meaning they get in character and stay in character off set and live their life as the character to really get into what makes that character tick. MANY of the marvel actors are method to a degree. Even rdj has admitted to going home still in the mindset of tony.
You absolutely cannot spring a surprise scene on an actor, give them only hours or a day to rehearse, and expect their best. You can’t even expect exceptional. It’ll be good and decent at most and that’s fucking tragic when you’re part of the most anticipated film of a goddamn decade.
It’s stressful as fuck for actors to work under conditions like that. Bad enough if a director or writer decides to change a couple lines at last minute. Being blindsided by an entire scene? Jfc I can’t even imagine.
This goes for all the other fucking bullshit the Russo’s pulled like not telling people who they might be fighting, what some cgi thing looks like, or who they’re even gonna be on set with until the day of. That is not and has never been how acting works and I gaurntee if this had been any other studio most of them would have refused to act under such conditions. But since it is Disney/marvel and the studio does all but own their soul on paper, they have to.
Rdj is about the only one who gets to do what the fuck he wants since without him there is no mcu, and certainly not endgame. But even he isn’t immune to this. The Russo’s ganged up and pressured him into things he originally didn’t want to do and was uncomfortable with. They aren’t the first directors to do that to him, either. At the end of the day, he seems fine with the results. And that may be the absolute truth of it. But we can’t really know for sure ANY of their real thoughts and emotions about it all because either it’s literally in their contract that they can’t speak ill of anything under the studios umbrella or it’ll be twisted around on them and become a much bigger thing than they’d want it to be.
Which is why when bad shit happens on set actors are typically quiet about it for years to come, until they’re safe from major reprecussions. No one is immune to this. Not the richest actors, not the most beloved ones. Which is why the union exists but even then there is only so much it can do.
SO. When people say the Russo’s are shitty for what they did, that is not an exaggeration. When people say it’s unfair to the actors, that is not an exaggeration. When people say they cared more about the product than the story they were trying to tell, it is not an exaggeration.
And I sincerely hope a decade from now when endgame is old news and these actors are long out of Disney/Marvel’s clutches that we hear from them just how unfair it really was.
reblog this if you too, will be a “spoiler free blog” and tag spoilers properly after endgame drops.
reblog if u agree
If Avengers were played by women
