"So I Pray To Hands

you can be compassionate and forgiving, and still hold those who caused you harm accountable.

All in all, I’ll say that I’m satisfied with the way SNK ended.

What brought me to this fandom was the fact that all the characters seemed so human to me— There was no “I’m gonna die here like a hero for the sake of my comrades”; they died with fear, with thoughts of “why me?” and even when Carla was about to die and was glad that Hannes took her children away, she still muttered to herself “don’t go...” because who on earth really, REALLY wants to die alone and away from those who you love? I can say for a fact that I would have been heartbroken and would wish to have them with me at the very end.

Because that’s how we are, people. We are humans, and we are selfish and we cry and sometimes wish for things that we shouldn’t.

I have read a lot of people who said that Eren is toxic for not wanting Mikasa to move on—But I really needed to see him being human and just wanting the girl he loves to remind him.

(Disclaimer—I’m not a shipper of EM or whatever; I’m here for the story).

He did all of those things, terrible things, so that his friends could truly be free and happy while giving up the opportunity of himself being with the woman he loved; and you all are calling him a complete and utterly selfish person for thinking “I don’t want her to forget me and move on—I want her to keep loving me” ?

Of course that’s a thought that hurts; he gave up all of those things: happiness, love, friendship, honor, loyalty... And there was absolutely no recompense to him at all. (Yes, his friends are alive and free but I’m talking about his life directly).

I’m not excusing him. All those things were horrible and everyone can see that. None of it changes the fact that he ended up being the “evil” that ultimately brought them all together—But that’s the thing, isn’t it? He willingly took it upon himself just so he could grant them the “freedom” he desperately wanted.

The idea of Mikasa moving on with someone else, forgetting about him and just—leaving him (in a sense) all alone must have been really painful.

Just because someone wants to be “the bigger person” or “a good person” *Armin laughed in the background* doesn’t magically turns you into one and, in the end, what really matters is that when being for the last time with her, Eren said he wanted her to forget about him and move on. To live a long life and be happy.

He didn’t told her “please don’t forget about me, please keep loving me” ‘cause that would’ve been just wrong and Mikasa deserves to move on and be happy in the end; we all know that she would’ve been devoted to him (as always) had he said the word— He didn’t.

Let the poor guy have some selfish thoughts for once in the company and intimacy of his best friend, for gods sake.

There’s so much to say about this ending that doesn’t entirely revolves around Eren, but I just wanted to be somehow a defender of the principal reason I liked SNK in the first place.

We are selfish—even while we want to be all altruistic and “good”.

We are human.

Learn to live with it.

yeah... ive come to the point where every media seems useless... all the things i read are either discontinued or aren't coming out with a sequel until a year or so or more... fav shows are constantly cancelled... or the actor changes and the storyline deroutes... movies... well... half the time im disappointed. and, well, books tend to not have writing or themes i like..

i think ive become spoiled:/

no thoughts, just this dress

^^

I believe it. I find it weird that people associate hello kitty so much with that traumacore shit, it all makes sense

ACKERMAN PARALLELS

When Mikasa saw the bird it immediately reminded her of Eren, the bird wrapped the scarf around her, meaning Eren kept his promise that he will wrapped that scarf around Mikasa, even if it's the last time. And this is also the last scene in the final chapter we see Mikasa. On Levi Ackerman's last scene, he looked up and saw a plane, what if whenever he sees a plane it reminds him of Hange Zoë? Plus both ackermans have scars on their faces, so every time they look at the mirror it reminds them of Eren and Hange. The bird reminded Mikasa of Eren, and the scarf symbolizes their love for each other, the scarf is their red string of fate, always connecting them even beyond time, life and death. The plane reminded Levi of Hange and their sacrifice, Hange's first line on A Choice With No regrets manga " I was watching you.." and Levi's last line to Hange on ch 132 " Keep watching us" implies that they both looking after each other. Every time he looks up in the sky it will always remind him of Hange, for he knows Hange is always watching over him. Levi and Hange's string of fate is their matching scars, symbolizing that they are each other's half, they understand each other very well even if they are polar opposites, their matching scars connects them like they are each others' missing piece, their bond transcending even life and death. Also Eren wanted to live with Mikasa but he couldn't, and Hange also wanted to live Levi but they can't, they had to choose their responsibilities over their feelings, duty first before love.

Both Ackermans have scars on their faces, Mikasa's scar to remind her of Eren and Levi's scar to remind him of how Hange took care of him.

Both have something that could remind them of their love ones, for Mikasa, she has the scarf Eren gave her. For Levi and Hange, they had their matching scars and missing eyes, and Levi's wounds were tended by Hange.

The lyrics of Call Your Name fits them running away and wanting to live in peace.

The 🕊️ bird symbolizes Eren watching over Mikasa.

The✈️ plane symbolizes Hange watching over Levi.

Mikasa is Eren's freedom, and Eren is Mikasa's home.

Levi is Hange's safe place and Hange is Levi's life

(Zöe = means "life", and you can spell "live" in Levi; Levi and Hange, "Live and Life")

" You are my safe place with you I found my home.." -this line fits Mikasa to Eren so much

" You are my safe sky with you I am at peace" - from Safe Skies Archer by 4reuminct (wattpad), this line fits Levi to Hange so much
