If you could make an Aruani playlist, what songs would be on it?

oMG this question is perfect to me.... aruani and music yes yes yes my passion THANK YOU!!

I've actually already made an aruani playlist!!! BUT it's bad... It's a work in progress. I'm gonna show you the playlist and then I'll elaborate 👁️👄👁️

The most aruani song for me is Liar by Paramore

I don't think it needs any explanation, listen to the lyrics and that's it. So I decided to make a playlist because of this song. I had a few more that I knew I wanted to include like Crystal Clear and Thick Skull but that was it. So I forced it a bit: scrolled through my playlists and random "enemies to lovers" playlists on spotify... I wanna redo almost the whole thing tbh. I just wanna be casually listening to my music and if I feel that something has to go in there, then put it in there. But if I'm purposely looking for songs I end up forcing them u know?

So when I have a decent playlist I'll share the link 🥰 (Obviously it's gonna depend on my personal music taste)

Now let's talk about some of the songs that are currently on it 👀

🤍 Liar - Paramore: LISTEN TO IT. I'll make an AMV in the future. This is a fact. Another (fun) fact is that this song is actually about a friends to lovers story but I think it fits so well aruani who are kinda enemies to lovers... slow beautiful song.

What was the moment? It's hard to say I'm sure I don't remember anyway Before I only knew to hesitate Pin back in the grenade And all the ways I'd keep you safe I keep you safe from me

And, oh my love, I lied to you But I never needed to Oh my love, I lied to you But you always knew the truth

...

🤍 It's allright - Mother Mother: this one works with almost any aot character but hehe obviously for me it's them. Cheerful song!

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a monster, just a human And you made a few mistakes

...

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes, I believe That you will see a better day

...

🤍 Thick Skull - Paramore: same for this one, works with aot in general. I recommend it a lot, good AMV content too... amazing "rough" song.

I am a magnet for broken pieces I am attracted to broken people I pick 'em up and now my fingers are bleeding And it looks like my fault And it looks like I'm caught red-handed

Hit over the head, epiphany Over my head, repeatedly Thick skull never did nothing for me Same lesson again? Come on, give it to me Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me

Only I know where all the bodies are buried Thought by now I'd find 'em just a little less scary Might get easier but you don't get used to it Keep on autopilot, hey, hey What's the body count up to now, captain?

...

🤍 Crystal clear - Hayley Williams: hey that's my name hehe. This song is Liar's sister so yes yes yesss ss s! beautiful song.

I remember standing on the edge Closing my eyes Counting to three, I Jump in with the rush in my head Only to find, the water was concrete

And now you're pumpin' air to my lungs This don't feel anything like sinking In fact, no matter how deep I go Into you it looks like the water is crystal clear

Crystal clear I won't give in to the fear

...

Well I think this answer is long enough and yes I'm obsessed with Paramore, but that's nothing new!!

Thank you for the ask!!! 😊❤️

hii!!

even if i’d prefer to see all aot at once i think it’s better for everyone to have episodes that way (almost) everyone can see it at the same time you know? movie means released in cinemas which means having to wait for your country to get the movie or for someone to leak the movie and it takes waaayyy longer and spoilers get impossible to avoid. also it means dub version in cinemas and armin and eren’s voices are way too irritating in french for me to watch 2 hours of it lmao but what you said is true and more important imo!! mappa has so much work to do this year (and has already done a lot these past years) and people are always asking them for more, so if they can get it done with the story easier that way then this is what they should do. the only thing i’m excited about for the ending are the titans fights, for the ending ending i think i’ll just watch how my favorite characters look like and don’t even read the subtitles aksjsdkjhd thirst only.

yep, okay, i hear it. i forget that you're in the EU and they've got so many online viewing restrictions. i take for granted my US American ability to look up whatever i so desire on the internet and watch it on my laptop. also to be fair i can't watch any dub either... idk if this is a controversial thing to say or not so don't roast me but. in English, Hange's voice doesn't match up with her voice AT ALL and it bothers me so much that it ruins the entire experience. i watched the first few episodes and tapped out 30 seconds into her introduction. the actress who does Annie is great tbh and i never had too bad an issue with most of the rest of the cast. but i can't get past Hange's voice.. i'll never ever again watch the dub. plus the japanese cast is really iconic anyway and their performances are a big part of why i enjoy the anime as much as i do.

ALSO YEAH LETS BE REAL I'M JUST GONNA THRIST OVER ANNIE IN THE FINALE AND THATS IT. SHE'S GONNA BE SOOO PRETTTTYYY😍🥰

THE OPENING OMG i wasn’t expecting to see annie out of the crystal, mappa got very generous 🙏, pieck and reiner were also very beautiful in that episode i feel so blessed. also i saw this tiktok after watching the episode and it made me think of you lmao

SAAAAME I SCREAMED BC I JUST WAS NOT EXPECTING TO SEE HER. i love the LIVING FOR IT. everyone is TOO beautiful... mappa had no right to make everyone look so damn sexy like what am i supposed to do with this ?!!!@?!?@!!??

lkasjdfhkdjf the tiktok is me and @marsbutterfly for real, i'm the one busting the door and she's coming behind with the camera hfmcs;kjn

NOW THE NEW CHAPTER

WHAT A GOOD CHAPTER (as usual) but the difference between the beginning, annie getting better and feeling alive again, and the ending, reader and annie not communicating anymore…. you really love hurting us. this is needed for the story but damn it still hurts. (dw we still love you). on top of that annie getting better while reader is still struggling and keeping it to herself to not hurt annie is not helping. “She's fine so you’re fine”, right in the feels!

hehe *blushes* stop it... also a mandatory apology. it gets better i promise it gets better! (thank you thank you 😭). i'm glad you noticed reader isn't okay either, bc that gets lost in the chaos sometimes. both of them are struggling and both of them need to deal with their individual issues before they can get anywhere.

(gonna put the rest under a read more as i feel myself rambling)

and pieck was here!! the reason of her visit was not very welcomed but it’s still good to see her. she was acting smart as usual and even planned a strategy, it was such a good characterization! my girl always knows what she is doing. oh and jean and connie were unexpected! it was a bit of fun before angst coming at full force. though even during the argument connie was trying to make things easier and it was really cute (like with the bits of grass). moments like this really show the work you put into your writing.

i know 😥 it's not a one-and-done appearance! pieck will be a major player throughout the story. thank you ❤ people seem to really enjoy the boys and i love that! i'll find a way for them to come back, i didn't realize i'd love them as much as i do now. connie is SO underrated he's really empathetic and he gets pain because of his mom.

i also think that Connie, Jean, & Armin would be pretty protective of reader since they've had so many of their friends die, and Mikasa is ??? genuinely not sure what happens to her post canon, i'm still deciding how i'll write her into the story. some of them like Connie come to realize it more quickly than others, but in the end they're just happy she's 1) alive and 2) relatively easy to visit. he's a good boy.

about the situation, i tend to agree with reader, this is not their responsibility to fix what eren did, even though it’s probably just me wanting annie and reader to live a happy life in peace asjkhe. but then annie accepted to go while reader was so sure she would refuse and i think i was as shocked as her. i have a bad feeling about this trip, you’re not going to let us relax next chapter either uh akshfjhjfd

i'll go into a LOT more about that, it's a whole ass plotline. Annie also wants Annie and Reader to live a happy life in peace. in time it'll become clear why she doesn't just say "no, and go fuck yourself" from the beginning. communication isn't happening so reader is just having to come to her own conclusions.

next chapter is probably gonna be a little bit sad, but it's also going to be mostly about Papa so. you'll catch a slight break?

annie cuddling so easily is such a change from cold hands cold heart, it’s nice to see her so comfortable with someone. making reader feel safe and remembering the years in the crystal was such a soft moment betweens two storms (lol).

there are intentional parallels in chapter 6 with cold hands !! yes! to illustrate that now Annie is comfortable with reader and willing to open up about everything she never did. except for, achieving that communication hasn't been the emotional fix-it reader wanted and expected. nothing is 'fixed' or 'better' yet but at least now they have the tools to figure out what's wrong in the first place.

when reader talked with papa and he said “At least I know she’ll come back this time, with you here” the fact that he thinks she wouldn’t come back just for him is heartbreaking. i know it was a way to be comforting but it sounds like he thinks that if annie didn’t come back the first time was because he wasn’t a good enough motivation, it is really sad, even if justified as annie has a complicated relationship with her father. they need to put their stubborness aside and have a father daughter talk.

oh it shatters me. i've actually already started writing a scene where he and reader talk about what it was like for Papa the first time Annie for Paradis, so we'll definitely see that addressed.

oh they'll talk. and you're gonna be so mad at me when you see how it happens...

then, the whole storm/weather doesn’t seem to announce something good. considering how annie is acting and feeling right now i really hope pieck will be true to her promise and keep an eye on her. or that one of the other warriors do it.

on the same note, i hope annie sees that reader isn’t doing good either and that both of them need help, and what she is doing might not be the best for reader. but it’s a delicate situation for everyone involved.

our girl is really going through it right now 😩😓 i don't think Pieck would make a promise she couldn't keep.

you're so right. i wish that i could tell you i wasn't gonna take the story in the angstiest direction i can think of to get them there! 🤪

there were so many nice details : like the weather being different in a different country and the characters not prepared for it fully, annie wearing flannel (gay), the car arriving and the black smoke in a way of showing bad news coming in a perfect setting, characters still interacting during dialogue (like connie and the grass again), papa being suspicious going just “in town”, and how the cats were acting during the storm! well some of them aren’t really details but you know.

i know what you mean! and again thank you, you nailed it with your interpretations and i love hearing your commentary you beautiful soul. it's interesting that you to say it read as suspicious for Papa to be vague about where he was; you may be onto something there!

finally, the ending… i would just be repeating myself and this ask is long enough but everything hurts in this chapter. thank you for providing us such a long, well written and beautiful chapter.

i hope you have a good week! -j

THANK YOU AND YOU KNOW I LIVE FOR YOUR SUPERLONG MESSAGES ! AND I FUCKING LOVE PLEASE THEM NEVER CHANGE. and also so sorry that i hurt everyone so early in the year but if y'all stick around i swear it'll be worth it

it's off to a nice start already! you too 💕
