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
Aot Analysis
It all began with Ymir. Her and her entire village was enslaved and their tongues sliced off. Her 'deification' caused by an accusation, as the entire village relied on her kindness to bear their punishment. And like some mere doe, the archers chased her in a forest. She then met a prehistoric creature that would give her titan powers.
It was a chance, the audience would say. She could finally escape that oppressive empire. But poor girl developed some kind of stockholm syndrome. Ymir was a simple girl with simple desires and yearnings. All she wanted was love, and she liked the idea of loving someone. Unable to explain that to the audience with her sliced tongue; she did with her scream in her titan form, with her fist that killed opposing empires. All of which was for the king, but doing it for the empire was her job.
Historia's father tells her the tale of Ymir Fritz (where she was referred to as Krista) Her father encourages her to be like Krista, depicted as a kind girl and as told in the tale that she made a deal with the devil to gain freedom. Her father used this not to encourage her pursuit of freedom but rather for her to want the founding titan power as he wanted to live a long life; those who possess titan powers get to only live for 13 years after obtaining it. Her father wanted to keep their title of being the royal family possessing the founding titan power.
(different from ymir fritz)
Ymir was once just a nameless child beggar in the streets of Marley. She was taken by a cult, and they claimed that she had royal blood—a descendant of their all powerful 'goddess', Ymir Fritz and named her after her. She was worshipped by a group of people. As an oblivious child, she assumed that people worshipped her for her own self, but it was only her 'royal blood' which she does not truly have.
technically both ymir and historia were nicknamed from ymir fritz' names, Ymir and Krista
Similar to Historia and Ymir Fritz, Ymir thought of fate as a concept; everything that happens has a cause and effect—that if she chooses to carry this great burden, she would save her people and that would be her great fate. Instead, her and including her people all got sent to paradise, where they got injected by titan fluids and transformed into mindless titans.
Ymir Fritz thought the king would love her, but even after all she did for the empire and positioning as his mistress, he didn't.
Historia chose to position as the queen of the walls, but it was to help people, not what she desired.
Ymir positioned as a royal blooded, to find out that it was all a lie—she was still a nobody, and such a thing like fate is fake.
In the eyes of citizens, those who held great authority were viewed as having many privileges; it wasn't really the case for these women, they were all forced to carry a job that masqueraded their dreams.
As the military police planned the assassination of Historia, Ymir stepped in and offered Historia freedom. Ymir represented a chance for freedom for Historia, the same way the prehistoric creature was a chance for freedom for Ymir Fritz. Although she didn't exactly refuse and Ymir eventually chose to leave Historia, she didn't accept it right away. The same way Ymir Fritz didn't take her chance for freedom in her life, and it led for her soul in the afterlife to be eternally enslaved by the holders of the founding titan. Eventually, Historia took the position of being the queen of the walls, she even bore a child even though she was a lesbian baddie.
Both Ymir Fritz and Historia were left unhappy with their past decisions.

Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."
This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.
He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.
He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.
He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.
Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.
