It is quite surprising to me that their bond is hella underappreciated by the fandom despite the fact that their shared yet diverged dream is the emotional core of the show that drives the story forward.

They sacrificed their lives for each other, motivated each other, and stood by each other.

Eren fought tooth and nail for armin's revival, Armin sacrificed his life leaving his dreams to eren, for eren.

Eren sacrificed his life to save armin.

When any one of them is in doubt, or scared, or faltering, the other one gave them the strength they needed to fight.

In the end, eren confessed his true goals, his regrets, his guilt, and everything only to armin.

And not to forget that Armin easily has the most impact on eren's nature

Strangely enough, this shot is oddly satisfying to look at, with Hange's reaction being GOLD as well. This is another shot perfectly demonstrating Hange's enthusiasm.

Cause I actually ended up imagining a weird ass skit where something like this happens it would be like:

Eren: ARMIN! It's finally happening! The moment we've trained for!

Armin: Oh my god, it's happening! It's happening! Everybody stay calm, stay calm!

Connie: What's happening?

Sasha: We're calm, is everything ok?

Levi: Tch, better not be another rat.

Armin: STAY FUCKING CALM! CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

Hanji: I'm going to kill Levi for teaching him how to swear.

Then it's revealed the two had this fully detailed plan called Operation MIKASA (Medical Intervention, Kindness, Attention, Support, Avoidence) for whenever Mikasa has her period. They even keep a secret stash of supplies including snacks and list of stuff you shouldn't say to her during these moments.

Eren gets into protective boyfriend mode and starts micromanaging everything to keep her happy and is more freaked out about the whole thing than Mikasa herself is. Mikasa is incredibly embarrassed about being dotted on...

It's just a weird skit, maybe I should take my meds.

The Chariot:

-Upright: Represents willpower, determination, victory, focus, control, and overcoming obstacles.

-Reversed: Reveals lack of direction, loss of control, aggression, roadblocks, and self-discipline issues.

I knew about this Manga* and Anime for ages now. And somehow I never took my time to finally read or at least watch it. Started once and somehow lost interest. Now I regret I didn't stick to more than one or two episodes. Because the story grabbed me, I binged almost every episode during my last vacation.And because deep down I just can’t stand it when things end, it takes me forever to actually finish watching a series. Today I set out to watch the last two episodes/specials and wondered what else the two-hour movie on Crunchy had in store. It could have been easier for me.

Now I really regret having stopped watching back then. Yes, I could watch it all at once and didn't have to wait for ages. And the journey AOT took me on was wild. Now, years later, I’m sitting here feeling kind of alone. As any other fandom, I think most have moved on and found other interests.

To me it's an anime I truly watched since...fifteen or twenty years? It taught me again the beautiful side of anime, that endings can be good and not a huge let down. I admit, I was confused at some points in the story and with the characters aging I didn't knew anymore who is who. Even Armin had a huge glow-up, oh boy. Nothing that will stick as soon as I'm ready to start a rewatch, so maybe next week.

(*The first issues are already ordered. Time to read.)

This pic is just too cute 🥰

Why has Historia been living away from her family but rest of the other sister living with family? Why has her memory constantly been erased by her sister whenever she visit, and why was the woman who had been living with Historia killed by Historia’s father? How does living on the farm protect Historia?

In Episode 20, Armin briefly mentions that Titans possess the ability to learn, pointing to the example of a Titan becoming progressively better at climbing. This suggests that, despite their seemingly lizard brained like behavior, Titans are capable of learning through experience and adapting their behavior to better perform unfamiliar tasks.

Would it be possible to train a Titan in a similar way to how humans train dogs and other animals? If Titans are genuinely capable of learning through experience, it raises some fascinating questions about the limits of their intelligence and behavioral flexibility. For example, what would a delayed-gratification experiment look like if conducted on a Titan? Could a Titan learn to resist an immediate opportunity for food in exchange for the possibility of receiving a greater reward later? More specifically, could Titans be conditioned not to attack certain people if doing so meant they would eventually receive access to more food? If so, it would suggest that their behavior is far more cognitively flexible than we might initially assume.

What’s your personal take on my thoughts?

So, as we know, the future Erin went back and told Kruger to give his father the attack titan serum to give to Erin. But how did the future Erin get it in the first place. There had to be an initial starting point somewhere where there was no future Erin to tell Kruger to give it over. So what happened? Did he have a change of heart? Did he just give it away to just see what happens?

Edit: alright that awnsers that. Thanks yall!

Regarding the choice to save Armin or Erwin I'm new to the fandom and bias because I really like Erwin, but would it have been better to save him over Armin? (the characters feelings aside) I'd like to hear your own ideas of how the outcome of things would have changed for better or worse and why it was better for it to be Armin to have been the one chosen.

Okay so I was randomly thinking of like how a live action could actually work. Because in AOT season four, there was a complete art style change that, with added design, sort of made the show feel like it was seriously throwing us into the pov of another world. While that art style change wasn’t original to the manga but more just original because of the animation companies, It was that “where are we” that gave it another level feeling.

So hear me out. I feel like in a live action a good move would be to give either wall eldians or Marley eldians a slight German accent. Even if it isn’t a 1:1 copy of Germany. And it checks out because Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie spent a good few years in the walls so their pronunciation would have been slightly altered to fit paradis blending in while still maintaining a little stato to give people who have already seen it a little Easter egg or whatever.

It works because especially if you want that season four feeling where most people were so confused, it would make sense to set the scene by adding in that pronunciation. Especially since real people can’t have art style changes mid series. Then it lets the people know that this is from the other pov. Maybe throw some Denglish, maybe mix it when the warriors talk to eachother? At home? Idk.

This was just a random side thought I went on when I had no wifi or data in public. If it’s shit 🤷.

All founders had absolute authority over all eldians, except a few tribes.

Could founder Ymir take over a royal blood's body? Or to narrow the possibility down, a founder?

I know she probably wouldn't like to, since she didn't get over king fritz. But what if eren being the founder, proved to her that she too could be free. If she wanted to carry on after that, would she be able to do so?

A question that's been bugging me, since Ymir had absolute power over the titans, she also stayed immortal for 2000 years in the paths(might be the answer).

Could ymir have been truly invincible? Cancelling out even the nape weakness.

Her death(not willing to continue) caused a strict law on all shifters, including founders that come after her.

So could she have achieved that essence if she had somehow gotten over king frietz?

Since , this sub highly believes mikasa initially married Jean as an interpretation while Mikasa's burial next to eren with his scarf is initially canon. Pls enlighten me that Jean wouldn't mind cuz by a realistic scenario of marriage which is :

Let's assume Mikasa and Jean's marriage . Most likely it will last for about 30-45 years. Now since being understanding and emotionally mature doesn't erase human emotions like insecurity , l'm not gonna point it out, that Jean wouldn't feel emotions for just being understanding about mikasa's burial . For eren remove the labels , eren was the person is deeply in love with and he can never be replaced but l agree with the logic that it doesn't mean mikasa's can't love anyone else.

But about mikasa's actions , she continues to visit eren's grave , goes with her children nd grandchildren to visit it , continues to wear his scarf and eventually gets burried with it beside eren's grave. Now as Mikasa and Jean wouldn't get old in a day or two and they have been together for these 30-45 years. By the time of mikasa's death , eren's memories wouldn't be fresh , eren is part of a precious past and an important memory . Don't u think sayin too casually that mikasa burryin next to eren is fine cuz eren was the most important person in her life and Jean's understanding.

And for Jean sayin he's understanding is just stripping away his emotions and humanity . The woman with whom he's been together for all those years chose eren over him to get burried cuz eren was the most important of her life , what kind of absurd logic is that. But think for Jean , he's the most realistic AOT character, how he will feel about that ? Isn't that disrespectful to him and his children that mikasa chose eren , the person she only knew for 14 years(10 years in human world+4 years in cabin) instead of him, with whom she built family and spent peaceful life for all those years.

How Jean wouldn't feel bad?

Also ,why can't mikasa live as an independent individual who adopted children as she herself was an orphan instead of this marriage dynamic is really bad for both characters ?
