Who Else Does He Look At With This Face

like wtf

New fear unlocked: my favorite character looking concerningly pretty half-way through a show

HEY that's MY emotional support morally ambiguous misunderstood full of trauma touch starved yearning for love drenched in blood responsible for numerous atrocities comfort character who is TRYING & u will TREAT them with RESPECT

:3

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.

Weirdly Specific Beige Flags of AOT Characters

GUESS WHO HAS THEIR AO3 ACCOUNT BACK (I'm in the process of re-uploading all my stuff <3) now go show me some love PUHLEASEEE @ arcturus_beaming

Eren: says "trust me" in 96% of situations but never actually explains why you should trust him (and he rarely proves that you should)

Mikasa: stares off intensely into space as if she is mad, but it is just her way of listening

Armin: will just state very random, very specific facts mid-conversation (regardless of context), but tries to tie it back to the conversation

Jean: complains about every minor inconvenience but it's kinda funny

Sasha: insists on trying everyone's food but reacts neutrally every time (she doesn't want to seem too excited)

Connie: says "no worries" after making a request, even the small ones, because he doesn't want to bother people

Erwin: always looks like he is in deep thought but most of the time he is just wondering if he locked the door or turned the stove off

Levi: obsessively cleans, but then leaves a random object (like his tea cup) for days

Hange: often starts conversations with "this might be weird" or "hear me out" and they always are very weird statements (but harmless)

Annie: always seems slightly annoyed (RBF), even when she is having a good time

Bertholdt: often looks like he has something to say in a conversation, but never says anything when you stop the conversation to ask him what he wants to say

Reiner: starts super deep/intimate conversations at the most inconvenient time, like waiting in line at the bank

Historia: overuses pet names like "sweetie" or "honey" with everyone, even people she just met

Ymir: uses sarcasm so frequently that it's almost impossible to tell when she's being serious or sincere

I'm going to die soon, but I'll die without regrets. Or that's what I'd like to say.

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

indirect kiss
