I Feel Like The Absolute Turmoil Titan Shifters Go Through Is Severely Overlooked Because They Have No

Weirdly Specific Green Flags of AOT Characters

you guys were kinda weird about my red flag post but you also liked it so idfk 😭 please no weird comments on this one <3

Eren: Always remembers the oddly specific details you mentioned once, like your favorite snack or a childhood memory.

Mikasa: Carries extra hair ties, band-aids, and snacks just in case someone else needs them.

Armin: Will help you move, build furniture, or study, and somehow make it fun and stress-free.

Jean: Walks/takes you home, no matter how “out of the way” it is.

Connie: Can cheer you up instantly with the perfect meme for every mood.

Sasha: Always shares her food, no questions asked

Erwin: Always holds the door open for others, even if they're awkwardly far away.

Levi: Notices when you're overwhelmed and quietly takes care of things without making a big deal about it.

Hange: Gets genuinely excited about your passions, no matter how niche or random (will watch movies, tv shows, read books, etc. to understand these interests).

Annie: Notices when you're uncomfortable in social situations and effortlessly helps you slip away without drawing attention.

Bertholdt: Gives the warmest, most comforting hugs; you didn’t expect it, but now you need more.

Reiner: Always offers to carry heavy things without making it seem like a big deal.

Historia: Compliments strangers in a way that feels completely genuine and makes their day.

Ymir: Defends you in every situation, even if it’s just you losing a dumb game.

Tweeting with AOT

bringing these back ig 💔

I kind of love this silent group of like 5 bertholdt fans that all collectively follow eachother and reblog eachothers posts

haha he’s so sleepy so tired so stupid :3

good HEAVENS

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.

Thinking about post-rumbling Reiner getting really into gardening, like he has a whole vegetable garden going (never needs to go to the market because he's always got fresh veggies on hand) AND a native garden bees buzzing around so happy. Reiner is amazed that his calloused, metaphorically (sometimes literally) bloodied hands can create beautiful life instead of death.

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.

so I’m starting to see more of this again…

um first of all it was clear Reiner had a split personality (soldier/warrior) so Bertholdt had to remind him that HE IS NOT A SOLDIER HE IS A WARRIOR! A WARRIOR GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL! “Verbally abusing” my guy… most of the seasons bertholdt didn’t talk til last episodes of s2 and first few episodes of s3.

even a friend of mine explains it better🙄👎

anyways, pls understand bert’s character before hating on him👋😭 matter of fact just leave him alone if you hate him that much then fine but don’t be bad mouthing him. Reminder Bertholdt Hoover is an animated character A FICTIONAL CHARACTER!! So to be saying these things is wild, especially saying kill, torture because I have seen those haters day rhat about bertl. Bertholdt is not an abuser. Reiner was not being abused, it was his split personality cause from Marcel’s death as well. Bertholdt did not support Marley’s cause. He was a child brainwashed, only a child to help his father who sadly passed away after bertholdt’s desth (I forgot).

He also said he considered the scouts as his comrades, a true marleyan would not consider them as friends more, just distant themselves from the “devil island”

and now this…get ready

1. Bertholdt Did Not Abuse Reiner

The post states that Bertholdt “constantly abused” Reiner and “verbally abused him” whenever Reiner acted in a way he disliked. However, throughout the series, Bertholdt is portrayed as reserved, passive, and hesitant to express strong emotions, let alone be abusive. If anything, Bertholdt often follows Reiner’s lead.

• Bertholdt never physically or verbally abuses Reiner.

• On the contrary, he is often shown supporting Reiner despite his worsening mental state.

• The only time Bertholdt speaks harshly to Reiner is when he confronts him about his dissociation between his Warrior and Soldier personas—something Bertholdt does out of fear and concern, not malice.

2. Bertholdt Was Not Dismissive of Reiner’s Issues

The claim that Bertholdt was “completely dismissive of Reiner’s issues” is false. Bertholdt acknowledges Reiner’s mental struggles multiple times. However, Bertholdt himself is also struggling with guilt and fear, making him less equipped to provide emotional support.

• In Season 2, Episode 10 (“Children”), Bertholdt directly admits to being terrified of their mission and hints at the trauma they both carry.

• Instead of dismissing Reiner, Bertholdt passively goes along with Reiner’s dual identities, likely because he doesn’t know how to help.

3. Bertholdt and Reiner’s Dynamic Was Built on Mutual Dependence

Rather than a toxic or abusive relationship, Bertholdt and Reiner rely on each other heavily as fellow Warriors sent on a mission that has taken a heavy toll on their mental health.

• Reiner is the dominant force between them, and Bertholdt often follows his lead.

• However, Bertholdt does not reject Reiner or treat him with cruelty—he stays by his side until the very end.

• In Season 3, Episode 16, Bertholdt even expresses that he considers Reiner a close friend, despite everything.

4. Bertholdt Did Care for Reiner and Arguably Comforted Him

While Bertholdt is emotionally reserved, that does not mean he never supported or cared for Reiner.

• His loyalty to Reiner is evident, as he sticks by him even after their mission becomes increasingly dire.

• In their final moments together, Bertholdt still considers Reiner his friend, despite their impending doom.

Conclusion: The Post Misrepresents Bertholdt and the Relationship

The idea that Bertholdt was an abusive, unsupportive figure to Reiner is unfounded. Their relationship is built on camaraderie, shared trauma, and reliance rather than toxicity. Bertholdt was not a cruel figure in Reiner’s life—if anything, Reiner was the more dominant, forceful one between the two.

1. Marley ≠ Nazi Germany

Marley is not a one-to-one representation of Nazi Germany. The show’s world-building draws inspiration from multiple historical events and regimes, but it is not meant to be a direct allegory.

• Marley is an imperialist power, not a fascist state like Nazi Germany. It has been at war with multiple nations for centuries, using Eldians as expendable weapons.

Calling Bertholdt and Reiner “Nazi soldiers” is an oversimplification that ignores the show’s deeper themes of manipulation, war propaganda, and moral struggle. They were victims of a larger imperial system, not willing participants in genocide. Using such comparisons is misleading and trivializes real-world history.

I hope this LONG EXPLANATION WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THAT PIG BRAIN OF YOURS because hating on a fictional character is lame and especially saying very concerning things about him👎

In conclusion, shut up,

Hello!!!! Tonight I bring you this fanart that I've been working on since january 2024, skipping months and all but still, it took me a looooot of time to get here and I still think it's not finished yet, but I'm happy for the time being with how it turned out 😊

Wish you all like it, even if it's obvious it's not a great piece, I know there's a lot I have to fix and practice, but I'll get there someday🫶

I've titled it "The Angel of Liberio" and it's inspired by 'Take me back to Eden' by Sleep Token, my fav song that I believe suits Reiner pretty well

hi can we please talk about how god damn fine Reiner would look in the full season 4 ODM dear

all that muscle??

i’m drooling

Jean would have to force himself to not stare at that heavenly ass

“we must stay focused brothers”
