Yall this took forever to finish. So glad I actually decided to continue it instead of abandoning it in my draftsđđż I love this brush so much and have been using it for a while now, I might make more arts like this occasionally bc they take forever.
Other than that, pray for me yallđđ˝or help me manifest bc things have not been going well for me for a while. I just have not had any luck this past yr. Anyways I love berumin and the handful of us berumin truthers out here (đ¤you know who you aređŁď¸)
đ berumin yapping belowâŹď¸đŁď¸âźď¸â ď¸
I think this is my first actual Berumin art, wherein itâs obviousđ all of the other ones Iâve made of these two are so all over the place and parts of aus I made, but this one is just something I did for fun a yr ago and left the sketch alone(it was so close to being abandoned fr) until I got back to it two weeks ago and decided to pull through. At first I was just gonna do a simple lineart and got carried away and then had to go all out to make everything match and make sense. It rly was a process doing the limbs and having to change a lot of the posing.
Idk what it was but I added those nails to armin on one hand and had to do it for ALL of them, it just rly played into the demon aspect so well I couldnât resist. This originally didnât have all the smaller details and I rly just made a lot of it along the way.
I rly liked thinking of this dynamic where Bert is more gentle/pure? And Armin is more deceptive and controlling? Idrk how to describe how I imagined it in my mind when I first made this but thatâs the gist of it. Armin at first had a curious expression than the sly one he has here in the old sketches, and there was even a very rough sketch version where heâs an angel instead but I didnât find it that appealing as a concept and I remember that sketch being so frustrating to get the wings right and I think thatâs why I dropped this drawing at first.
Anyways đŁď¸đŁď¸I LOVE BERT and MINđŁď¸đŁď¸đđ˘đ
I actually like how ambiguous I left the context of this because there rly is a lot of possibilities this could go story-wise. Like, does Armin appear to Bertolt physically and everyone can see him but heâs only befriending Bert for demonic(?) purposes or is Armin manifested by Bertolt subconsciously. Is Armin a representation of Bertâs corruption? Who knows? I honestly couldnât tell you but thatâs probably why I was happy to make this more detailed than my usual stuff.
Other than that I do like the idea that perhaps Armin was a fallen angel that was casted out and became a demon? Something like that. Maybe Bert became a man of the cloth as a result of shame and guilt over something he did and that mirrors Arminâs fall from grace in how they both have to mask who they used to be???? Maybe none of this is real and this is Bertâs divine punishment in purgatory? What if there was a universe in which Bert wronged Armin in someway and Bertâs psyche takes a hit because of it?
Itâs possible this isnât even Armin but who knows?
Yall maybe Iâm cooking with this actually.đ¤đđŠđ˝âđŚŻđż
What do you perceive this as and what is your take from just this alone? I kinda wanna know how everyone else would interpret them in thisđď¸đď¸đłđĽşđđ˝đ
Should I do another version of this but with concepts around demonology or something? Idk.
Btw I plan on finishing another berumin drawing I started last yr ,but based on a rly good berumin fic I read, I just havenât gotten back to it.
Hello I am back with more headcanons
Plus bonus Porco and Pieck
Eren: Has every form of Rick and Morty paraphernalia in existence. Rolling trays, Tshirts, ash trays, you name it. Unironically says that people need a higher IQ to be able to âfully graspâ the message of the show. Used to smoke indoors but Mikasa pushed him to take it outside or at least open a window. Goes fully nonverbal (for once) but also canât keep his hands to himself if heâs alone with Mikasa.
Mikasa: Doesnât smoke a ton but she still somehow has an incredibly high tolerance. Has a pen that she named âPenjaminâ and she discreetly hits it at the aquarium/museum. When sheâs at home with Eren it takes one hit before their clothes are on the floor.
Armin: Tried smoking but it always just ends up giving him a headache for some reason. Edibles are a bit better but he never seems to really âfeel itâ, so he prefers to just not partake because he doesnât want to waste money. Prefers CBD gummies and has a CBD pen on him so he doesnât feel left out during sessions. A fiend for cigs though.
Ymir: WAKE. AND. BAKE. She can out smoke ANYONE, even Connie. Zeros her bong in one hit and does NOT clean it. Has a whole dab rig and puts grape-sized globs in it just for herself. Unironically watches Jackass and Filthy Frank videos when Historia isnât around.
Historia: Smoked once and had a panic attack. Does not smoke or partake at all anymore and instead she drinks or hits her crusty ass juul from 2018 thatâs covered with faded stickers, and she uses bootleg strawberry juul pods so she feels like sheâs doing something. Babysits Ymir when she goes nonverbal and they also canât keep their hands off each other. Sheâs the one to clean Ymirâs bong and yells at her when she leaves it on the coffeetable.
Reiner: Can rip a bong like nobodyâs business but is classy enough to keep it in a cupboard when he isnât using it. All his bags and pockets are littered with various brands of mint-flavored dispos because he vapes in public. Gets really calm and quiet and one time when he was with Jean the two of them got way too high together and started making out (they donât talk about it and nobody else will ever know)
Bertoldt: Surprisingly chatty when smoking. Doesnât do anything fancy and just has a glass pipe. Taught Reiner what a sploof was so he wouldnât get caught by his mom. Has a decent tolerance but can sometimes overdo it because he underestimates edibles. âMan this edible ainât shitâ *Ten minutes later*: âdude do you ever think about how our fingers are just bony tentacles?â
Annie: Almost exclusively bums off of other people. Offers a drag of her cig in return. Also gets chatty but not nearly as much as Bert. Sheâs the one to pick out the movie and sheâs the last one to fall asleep. Always jumps for nature documentaries or nostalgic things like Wallace and Gromit.
Marco: Does NOT smoke and sees weed as a gateway drug. Cried when he found out Jean keeps edibles on him and said he didnât want him to become an âaddictâ until Jean invited him to babysit a JSC smoke session. Now he dislikes it but tolerates it for Jean.
Sasha: Munchies go with Sasha like milk goes with cookies. Full Mukbang channel with 2 million subscribers. The big draw to the channel is SJC antics and when Niccolo decides to make gourmet food for her to absolutely destroy when high. Eats all the edibles Pieck gives her in like 3 days.
Jean: Has those 5mg Caminos on lockdown in his back pocket to the point where theyâve worn a circular imprint in the denim and he has to clarify that, no, it is neither a tin of dip, nor is it Zyn packets. He keeps the Caminos on hand because they make him more social and relaxed in public without getting too zooted. At home he has a pen but rarely uses it. Prefers 20mg brownies Pieck makes him. Does not smoke with Reiner anymore. (He really enjoyed himself and is scared of the implications)
Connie: spent $600 on a gravity bong because he saw Seth Rogen talk about it. Has a YouTube channel under the name Con-man420 and the videos have titles like âREVIEWING SUPER LEMON HAZExGRANDADDY PURP HYBRID IN 4K HDâ. Impossible to tell if heâs high or sober because youâre not ever entirely sure youâve SEEN him fully sober.
Pieck: Makes edibles. Knows how to make canna-butter and runs a whole under-the-table edible business. Once it was legalized in her state she had a panic attack. When sheâs high itâs like her brain completely shuts off and she has to do the little bicep hug with Jean or Porco if theyâre out in public so she doesnât get left behind. Falls asleep every time. Very cuddly and gets handsy depending on who sheâs with.
Porco: Smokes out of a pipe shaped like an old-fashioned tobacco pipe. Pieck got it for him as a joke but he loves it. Can do smoke tricks with his pen. Plays Tame Impala and Glass Animals on vinyl and melts into the couch like that one DARE ad
Gabi NOPE!!
The fact that Gabi gets more hate for killing ONE (1) person and Eren gets so little for killing 80% of the WORLD is my thirteenth reason why
Hi idk if you've answered smth similar before but who do you think among 104th was closest or maybe most impacted by levi ? I would go for jean or armin but would love to hear your thoughts.
Ps : I love you and your analysis posts keep doing them â¤never give clowns the time of day
Hi there!
I have answered similar questions to this, haha. Jean is the character that comes to mind first when I think of who Levi had the biggest impact on. I actually fairly recently wrote a post about the relationship between Levi and Jean, and specifically, Levi's influence on Jean, which you can read here:
I think Levi had a significant impact on pretty much everyone, though. Armin, for sure. I think Armin actually understands Levi better than any of the other members of the 104th, because I think each of them are actually really similar, particularly in regards to the way both of them values life and sees life as innately valuable, without needing any, great purpose to make it so. There's also the fact that, out of everyone, Armin understood early on the kind of selfishness inherent in clinging to a sense of moral righteousness at the expense of others. This idea of maintaining our "moral purity" by refusing to get our hands dirty, and how, ultimately, that can cause more harm than good. Armin suffers from deep insecurity and a sense of self-loathing, so he refuses to call himself a good person, but I think he, as well as Levi, are both objectively good people, and part of that goodness is manifest in the way neither of them prioritizes their ability to call themselves good people over actually helping people, i.e. actually being good people. Even if it means having to live with blood on their hands and the pain of that, the way that can eat away at their sense of self-identity, they're both willing to do it without hesitation so long as it means no one else has to.
I also think Levi has a huge impact on Mikasa. Mikasa started out being pretty single minded and self-interested. Her entire reason for joining the SC was because she wanted to be with Eren, and her desire for that was the main motivator behind a lot of her actions early on. But as the story progresses, Mikasa gradually learns to start letting that motivation go, and starts genuinely caring about and fighting for others, until by the end, she gives up on her dream of being with Eren completely, by taking his life for the sake of humanity. I think Mikasa learned a lot of her selflessness from Levi, who's entire character is largely defined by selflessness. Levi never does anything for himself. Everything he does has always been for the benefit of others, fighting to save lives, to prove his fellow comrades sacrifices weren't in vain, fighting for the dreams of others, lending his strength to those dreams, rather than having or fighting for any dream of his own. That's been true of Levi since "No Regrets". I think Levi letting Erwin go sort of set the blueprint for Mikasa later doing the same with Eren. Not that Levi's relationship with Erwin was the same as Mikasa's with Eren, but Erwin was a very important person to Levi, for reasons I've spoken about at length, and he let Erwin go for Erwin's sake. People always say this decision was selfish, but it was actually the exact opposite. Levi lost someone that he relied on to guide him. It was a completely selfless sacrifice, one born out of compassion, made to end the suffering of a fellow human being. That's a lot like Mikasa letting go of Eren. She lost the person she loved and dreamed of spending her life with, and she chose to lose him to save what remained of humanity.
Anyway, thank you for your kind words and I hope my answer was what you were looking for!
S4 Reiner is great.
He's playing celebrity war hero while scrambling to keep his sanity intact with his bare hands. Keeps trying to kill himself but can't follow through because he feels bad for the kids that are competing to eventually cannibalize him. Blatantly picks favorites anyways. Keeps shittalking the people he loved and then attempted to kill. Enemies-to-enemies relationship with all his coworkers. The only guy that could stand him is dead.
Mommy issues. Is 21, looks 40. Might be gay.
What a man.

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.
