this scene is going to be amazing - it looks so well done

Hange 😭 💔

Trying a reread ahead of part 3, starting with volume 1

(If I don't finish for p3 part 1, I have faith I can at least get it by the second part 😂)

Happy birthday Levi!!! His strength, complexity, compassion, and resilience never failed to move me

To the “awkward but kind” man who “came from absolutely nothing” to dedicate his heart and become Humanity’s Strongest Soldier

#エルリのリヴァイ生誕祭2022

Most of the cast have military training but Levi began fighting when he was extremely young outside of sparring in life-or-death fights

He cut his teeth in dirty fights with grown men as a kid just to survive and he was trained in tactics by Kenny who (then) wasn't using ODM

2/

Levi canonically has super strength, can easily kick down a door or backhand half of Eren's teeth out while exhausted, body slam or arm wrestle huge thugs, fought daily just to survive Underground, and beat up adults twice as big as him since childhood

1/

Sasha wasn't intended at all, created because Isayama decided Ymir shouldn't be in the top 10, set to die in Clash

But she became a favorite, her family & her relationship with Niccolo crucial for AoT's themes & her later death had important impact on Eren, Connie, Gabi, etc. 6/

Levi Ackerman: Living For the Fallen

Thread analyzing Levi's core character motivation of finding meaning in the sacrifices of the fallen Survey Corps members and how it ties his entire arc together, from his introduction to the final chapter

#aotmangaspoilers

AoT is a series that purposefully puts the characters in impossible situations where there's no perfect answer to basically test who the characters truly are, what do they choose to do, what matters to them?

Can you be self-aware and grow? Can you face down your own uncertainty?

The OG survey Corps were idealists who'd give their lives without hesitation for this better future they were unlikely to see

Erwin sees the charge as doing right by those dedicated hearts- just like Hange sees stopping the Rumbling as doing right by them, too

For #2, well, the Erwin speech in the manga is not just very logical for his character, but the passion, the forward-thinking, it's so true to Erwin and makes sense why Levi would see Erwin as someone who has a vision worth following, sees beyond what Levi himself had seen.
