After the Ithaca Saga, I believe that Odysseus thought he and Athena were officially done forever and would only occasionally see each other because she was mentoring Telemachus now. He really thinks there's no way they can reconnect anymore and attempt at a friendship this time, but he's fine with it, he can accept it.
That is until Telemachus goes up to him one day like:
"Hey father, can I ask you something?"
"Yes son, of course."
"You mentored under Athena before right? Do you happen to know a friend of hers?"
"Oh I... I wasn't aware Athena had friends before. She was very adamant about that "No Friends" rule back then... kind of stings."
"Oh really? She talks about him a lot."
"Does she now? *mumbling* must be so special about this fRieNd of Athena..."
"Yeah she told me about this one time he wanted to impress someone, so he climbed on all the way to the tree branch next to the balcony of their room and leaned against the trunk to look cool, but he kept talking to Athena in her owl appearance so he didn't notice the other person going to the balcony and he got so spooked when they called out to him, he turned too fast and lost balance, slipped, smacked his ass on the tree branch and broke his arm when he fell, so he had to wear a sling for 3 months and couldn't sit down for 2 weeks."
"....call Athena right now."
"Why-"
"ATHENA!!!"
The second Athena appeared, Odysseus threw himself at her, on one hand going "YOU CONSIDER ME YOUR FRIEND WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!?!?!?!" and on the other going "WHY ARE YOU TELLING MY SON ALL MY EMBARRASSING STORIES!?!?! THAT WAS BETWEEN ME, PENELOPE AND YOU!!"
He was actually crying. Athena has absolutely no idea what is happening or what she should do. Telemachus just discovered a whole new side of his dad and might know where he gets it from now....
Aruani hc where Annie needs to be reminded that she has a voice and can speak and be touched and heard after four years stuck inside the crystal and that’s how Armin talks her down from the edge while he plays with her hair and holds her hands
If a large percentage of a population is miserable there is something wrong with the society not the people. If a herd of cattle is confined to a small barn and become unruly you would yield them outside to settle. Unless you were an industrial farmer where you would drug the upset cows. I am an upset cow. I am not broken I do not need drugs.
ok so I’ve been seeing once again bertholdt hate. Ok honestly you’re just hating on him because he was always quiet and only with Reiner, calling him useless. But without him, he would’ve have not destroyed the wall, and without him destroying the wall means Eren’s mother would have not died. AND WITHOUT HER DEATH EREN WOULD NOT FEEL SUCH HATRED TOWARDS TITANS!! Bertholdt is an important character. Important to the warriors, important to the plot. He was VERY USEFUL!! Without him, how would Eren become the Attack Titan?? Without Bertholdt no one in the scout regiment wouldn’t meet. Without Bertholdt, Reiner wouldn’t be able to destroy the second wall.
If you call him useless, you did not understand any of the warriors. He was a kid, a kid who was brainwashed to hate the people of Paradis. He was brainwashed to call them devils WITHOUT OUT KNOWING WHO OR HOW THEY TRULY ARE! Propaganda also manipulated him. He just wanted to help his sick father and by doing that he needed to become a warrior.
These bertholdt hate blogs, needs to go study his character and how important he is, HOW IMPACTFUL HE IS TO THE STORY LINE.
Anyways thats all!! I just wanted to talk about this
Lmao the memes didn't lie, he really just said it so casually
guys im so so so sick of searching reiner braun/bertholdt hoover on ao3 and 70% of the results being mainship ereri GUYS WHY IS THIS SUCH A POPULAR SHIP
eren: 15 levi: 31
levi is literally his dad STOPPP
AOT memes pt. 12
i use tiktok mostly just to post my own edits and see my mutuals stuff now bc im sick of the fandom on there. most of them clearly watched the show with their head up their ass or smth because they’re manage to come up with the most simultaneously hilarious and horrible takes ever.
also because not a single one of them can take bertholdt’s character seriously without rehashing the exact same name jokes i’ve heard since i joined the fandom in 2021. like sure some are funny but it gets so old so quickly, and when you make a post actually going into his character and being a bit more serious the comments are just “poor [some word beginning with b]” like PLEASE SHUT UP FOR A MOMENT!!!
literally had to put in the caption of one of my bert videos “stfu about his name for once” bc i knew the kind of comments i’d receive if i didn’t.
this fandom rather completely forgets his character (who is extremely important to the plot and towards the entire character of reiner but that’s a whole other thing), hates him for what he did even tho they love reiner/annie, or they treat him like a joke and never bother to go past surface level with his character.
he is the most interesting warrior imo because he was the first to openly admit and see that all the fighting was stupid and pointless. that the paradis eldians were no different from him and him killing them wasn’t personal, it was what had to be done to save his father. there’s alot more to him but im worried this will become like 3k words if i dont stop but most of the fandom can’t even comprehend that its actually ridiculous.
people treat him like absolute shit because he died first and he was weak when firstly shut the fuck up?? he was not weak in the slightest and had the most powerful titan ability bar the actual fucking founding titan. like oh my god. and other people say “oh he was too attached to reiner” dog that’s the point. of his character. oh my god.
idk i think im just sick of the fandom treating him like this. he and connie are imo the most overlooked characters in the entire animanga.
and don’t even get me started on how shit both him and connie are treated in official arts and stuff bc. wow
"You're okay with open borders? Then maybe you should open your house doors and let anyone barge in."
Last time I checked, the entire country is not my personal property. So I don't get to choose who enters the country the same way I get to choose who enters my house.
And if I did get to choose who's welcome in the country, I'd much rather keep the immigrants and deport the Trump supporters.
