watched a dude carry a screaming toddler across the parking lot. he noticed me looking at him and said “he’s mine, i’m not stealing him” and then before i could reply he added “if i was gonna take one, it definitely wouldn’t be this asshole”
@wthlilium
ambidextrous most likely. iirc in the anime he holds his knife in the left hand, however in the manga he holds it in the right, as well as a spoon. it's not very consistent
@sakamaoto_
I think it's not that uncommon, especially since a lot of people joining the military were orphaned young. Some might not know or remember their full names. Nobody questioned Ymir (gay) when she signed up either.
@MaxJM_444
Think about it, he probably loses his shit the first time he hears thunder above ground because the sky is so LOUD and it's terrifying. It was so muffled and distant in the Underground.
@wthlilium
I think it exists but not in the way Eren bullshits to Mikasa. If they "acknowledge someone", that implies it's entirely consensual rather than being compelled by royal blood or whatever, and they follow because they choose to do so, not because the other person has any control.
@wthlilium
JUST MADE MYSELF SAD thinking he probably didn't develop a dominant hand in childhood because it's very possible he didn't learn to write until quite a bit later 😔
@reichluv
considering the entire translation sounds a bit weird in english, i think the gist of it is more something like "i won't turn you in" aka begging for his life
but i could be wrong ofc
@wthlilium
@TheMegaNut_
kenny @ levi: haha runt midget shrimp 💩
kenny @ uri: my gentle petite prince 🥰
levi: gross, being gay is stupid 😒
erwin: bonjour-
levi: shit.
@MaxJM_444
Then he discovered SNOW (ugh cold, he'd only seen it on merchant carts b4) and he was like "ok how much different shit does the sky excrete" and Erwin was like "sometimes there's balls of ice plummeting toward the ground at bullet speeds :-)" and Levi didn't go outside for a week
@ackerale
I mean I agree with you but also Levi IS soft and emotional in canon? Are people still falling for the badass with no feelings propaganda in tyool 2k24-
@plumlatte_
not necessarily after, even. levi doesn't yet have an undercut when kenny picks him up, neither when he starts training to stab. in this story he does, so either way it has happened after *some* training has already been done. this incident is likely the catalyst to kenny leaving
@lewiathans
i mean one could argue about what is or isn't feminine, but him growing up poor is literally a fact, seen on page, now multiple times, with no room for interpretation. what are they on about lmao
@zoeackerwin
I don't disagree, but I'd like to point out that the reason for that is literally Levi throwing his broken ass in the way to protect the kids. Connie would have died if he didn't sacrifice his leg, likewise Jean if he didn't break his fall. It ain't plot armor it's Levi armor 😔
@levisslxt
yes! levi's not dumb, he's literally got like 8/10 rating in wits iirc? he's uneducated, but that's not at all the same thing. he might not use the biggest words erwin knows and he may cuss but he's still going to have brilliant ideas, if maybe expressed somewhat crudely at times
@plumlatte_
tbf i thought EVERYONE in aot was hella ugly until i actually started watching it and got invested lmfaskdjh
it's like demisexuality in anime form or something
@saeroexi
I think the first one feels more on-brand unless he's specifically trying to get a rise out of Zeke after he spews something about being the rightful liege or something 🤔 since normally, Erwin never flaunts his position over Levi, but he can deff be possessive haha
@_Michosa_
I mean it doesn't seem like he thinks of it as any kind of secret. So he's probably told others before if it was relevant to the conversation topic. Considering how much time he was spending with Erwin I'd say it's pretty likely he knew.
@acker8404
ok but even for some reason they're convinced interviews, wiki and isayama are all lying, we literally know how characters over fifty look in aot and it's completely different. like look at pixis and kenny (who could be in his 40s even tbh) and their fuckin wrinkles
@wthlilium
against that compulsion to do the right thing. Which, there aren't many Ackermans and even less in this situation, and perhaps it's the breaking of this bond that finally sets her free. OOPS BRAINROT RANT OVER
@MaxJM_444
Heheh yes! I think there's an official art like that (it doesn't explicitly say he never saw it before but I got the vibe from his expression)
Everything looks so clean covered in snow 🥺
@ash_tifer
@bubbletealevi
@wthlilium
and it's always that one banter-y part of the forest conversation that as a whole ALSO includes them being supportive and understanding of each other just a few frames away 🥲
@acker8404
kenny literally thought he was doing levi a favor by not exposing him to any more of his kennyness and bb levi just wanted his dad, axe murders and everything 🥺
@MaxJM_444
Oh yes they can absolutely be grandpas together! 😂 But if one of them is more tech-savvy it's definitely Erwin "obsessed with knowledge" Smith rather than Levi "we have food at home" Ackerman, bro didn't even update his (probs) mandated uniform like "the old one works fine" 😭
@plumlatte_
oh yeah there's definitely lots of them
i think it was just the most recent one i encountered
"erwin says he's a selfish monster who doesn't care about humanity so it must be true" my brother the man is depressed he hates himself more than antis do
@ash_tifer
@MaxJM_444
i'm on team "autism for ALL the commanders" tbh like have u SEEN erwin and hange and their special interests galore-
levi ticks more ocd+ptsd for me but i'd absolutely be interested in reading this too!
@wthlilium
Namely some moments have added depth if you consider them in bond context; 1) Mikasa noting that Levi is "getting weaker" as Erwin is dying; 2) Erwin refusing to "order" Levi to take the serum. It's implied he'd have to do it if he did; why? Levi doesn't respect authority just +
@midnightsunii
Small correction, his knee gets fucked up when he saves Connie from the titan during this battle, so I believe it's still fine in this sequence. Doesn't change your point though!
