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.

ok anyway enjoy if you want LOL
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?
After the Ithaca Saga, I believe that Odysseus thought he and Athena were officially done forever and would only occasionally see each other because she was mentoring Telemachus now. He really thinks there's no way they can reconnect anymore and attempt at a friendship this time, but he's fine with it, he can accept it.
That is until Telemachus goes up to him one day like:
"Hey father, can I ask you something?"
"Yes son, of course."
"You mentored under Athena before right? Do you happen to know a friend of hers?"
"Oh I... I wasn't aware Athena had friends before. She was very adamant about that "No Friends" rule back then... kind of stings."
"Oh really? She talks about him a lot."
"Does she now? *mumbling* must be so special about this fRieNd of Athena..."
"Yeah she told me about this one time he wanted to impress someone, so he climbed on all the way to the tree branch next to the balcony of their room and leaned against the trunk to look cool, but he kept talking to Athena in her owl appearance so he didn't notice the other person going to the balcony and he got so spooked when they called out to him, he turned too fast and lost balance, slipped, smacked his ass on the tree branch and broke his arm when he fell, so he had to wear a sling for 3 months and couldn't sit down for 2 weeks."
"....call Athena right now."
"Why-"
"ATHENA!!!"
The second Athena appeared, Odysseus threw himself at her, on one hand going "YOU CONSIDER ME YOUR FRIEND WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!?!?!?!" and on the other going "WHY ARE YOU TELLING MY SON ALL MY EMBARRASSING STORIES!?!?! THAT WAS BETWEEN ME, PENELOPE AND YOU!!"
He was actually crying. Athena has absolutely no idea what is happening or what she should do. Telemachus just discovered a whole new side of his dad and might know where he gets it from now....
I am hopelessly obsessed with the attack on titan Sanrio collab, Reiner is my favorite + my melody is my fav Sanrio character. It's just perfect.
when I was in Japan I found tiny Reiner a shirt and ita bag! 🥹🩷🩷🩷
Another POV of my alternate table scene in which Mikasa throws Eren to the ground like she used to:
"I would punch a Nazi" also included Zionists fyi
