What Gets Me About Reiner Is That He Really Could Have Been A Great Man. How He Acted In The Scouts Wasn't

headcannon that in season 3, when the 104th cadets and levi where living in the cabin, sasha probably snuck into the kitchen at night to get some food without anybody noticing, except levi did and never said anything because he knows what its like to be hungry and not know when it’ll be the next time you’ll be able to eat.

Reiner is a professional yapper

I feel like the absolute turmoil titan shifters go through is severely overlooked because they have no scars to show it.

Of course their wounds heal, but the pain is still very real. The trauma of having your limbs brutally chopped/bitten/blown off is still very real. The agony they suffer, both mentally and physically, every time they have to self harm in order to shift is still very real.

They've suffered horrific wounds that nobody should have to endure. But they heal, and then they go on to endure it some more.

When I remember that Eren gouged out his own eye and cut off his own leg, I just feel so sick to my stomach for him. I can't imagine the mental fortitude it would take to do something like that- to go against every instinct and bone in your body screaming at you not to do it, all for the purpose of achieving a goal.

I've joked about how the fuck Reiner managed to get so jacked during his time on Paradis, especially at a time where meat was rare and most people seemed to subsist on bread and potatoes.

But since the process of muscle building involves essentially breaking muscle down and having it heal, I theorize that his Titan healing powers could've had something to do with it. Maybe Reiner (and by extension... Annie, Birmingsnort, Ymir, and Eren) simply recover a little bit faster than their non-shifter comrades.

And hey, maybe Reiner's also repping out some extra pull-ups, sit-ups, and push-ups between training to keep up his soldier persona. Who knows?

Shinzo wo Sasageyo!

Okay Ik I’ve said this before but I think the influx of Bertholdt/Reibert hate from that one guy who made like 20 accounts had the opposite effect. I’ve been seeing soooo much more Bertholdt and Reibert stuff on my dash as of recent and I’m so happy about it, ty number1Bertholdt_hater!!
