What I hate about writing is when I have to write so much before I finally get to the part I actually wanted to write.

Questions Your Character Is Too Afraid to Ask

(But desperately needs the answer to) Because these are the thoughts they won’t say out loud, but they shape everything they do.

If I stopped trying, would anyone notice?

Do they actually like me, or do I just make their life easier?

Am I hard to love?

What would they say about me if I left the room?

Would they stay if they saw the real me?

What if I’m only good at pretending to be good?

Was it actually love, or just obligation?

What happens if I fail again? What’s left of me then?

How long until they get tired of me?

What if I deserve the things I’m afraid of?

Am I healing or just hiding better?

Why do I feel more myself when I’m alone?

Do I want to be forgiven or just forget?

What if I never become the person they believe I am?

Am I still angry, or just numb?

Why can’t I let go of them, even after everything?

If they hurt me, and I stayed, did I hurt myself more?

Am I building a future, or just distracting myself from the past?

Is this what I want, or just what I’ve been told to want?

What if I was never meant to survive this, but I did anyway? Now what?

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

Friendly reminder that...

Hiroshi Kamiya (voice actor of Levi) as well as the English voice actors of Levi and Petra said that they ship Rivetra. Hard.

“I like Petra. Seeing her have lines and being animated, it makes me think ‘she was the one who stayed by Levi’s side.’ Petra understood Levi about himself deeply, so she stayed with him. I am truly grateful.  I am disappointed that Levi’s lines weren’t said when he saw her body, though. I wanted him to have lines about her body in the show.“  ~Hiroshi Kamiya Tweet

双翼のヒカリ - The Light Of Dual Wings.

MANAMI (Petra's lead singer) about the song on her blog:

“Watched Attack on Titan in anime, and read the manga. Met Petra, I embraced Petra, who has the courage to keep believing in what she believes.”

“As I wrote before, I have had the experience of having a crush on my husband in the first year of high school and then working hard until the third year to convey my thoughts to my husband.” (Manami is saying that as she wrote Petra's song with Revo, she based it off of her own experience).

“Did Petra really think like that about Levi? Whatever the truth, Because I have had such a special experience, As I did when singing “Souyoku no Hikari” Petra decided to sing about her best love for the people she kept thinking about.”

Levi's lipbalm says “The Fragrance Of The Strongest Human” and Petra's lipbalm says “The Fragrance Of The Bride”

These are official cosmetics for Attack On Titan, Petra and Levi's came in a matching set.

Isayama once said that he draws Mikasa more beautiful when it's Eren's point of view because that's how he actually sees her.

The same could be said for Petra, Levi canonically thinks she's cute, and that's how he sees her.

Eren's POV:

Levi's POV:

Not to mention that both Petra and Mikasa always appear at the front and center of Levi and Eren's minds/visions.

gotta catch up on here! Lots more clients to list!

as an apology, here’s a video of two POCers (from Attack on Titan, Caitlin Glass as Petra and Matthew Mercer as Levi), improvising a scene at Kraken Con, which would’ve taken place before Petra’s final episode.

Does Natsuki Aikawa know about Souyoku no Hikari?

Yes! Natsuki Aikawa is aware of Souyoku no Hikari and even said on Twitter once that she would love to sing it for a karaoke.

She's also a Rivetra shipper like Kamiya Hiroshi.

Caitlin Glass and Matthew Mercer are still big fans of the ship too.

Aside from confirmed canonical stuff, what are some other stuff you can say about Levi and Petra?

Well if we're talking interesting notions regarding their birthdays and such..

Levi was born on Christmas (December 25th) In Japan, Christmas is treated as a romantic holiday and it is heavily associated with love like Valentines Day.

While Petra's birthday, December 6th, is the day of the death of Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus).

What I find interesting is that Levi's birthday is all about love and romance while Petra's birthday is about the death of someone who is the prime symbol of that specific romantic holiday.

I just joined the rivetra community lately and I have some questions. In Petra's letter to her father.. did she really say that she's in love with Levi? Also, did Isayama the one who requested to include the scenes where Levi looks at Petra's body while it is being thrown and the emblem scene? Thanks

Yes and yes.

The translation of what Petra's father said that was in her letter, you can read that here.

The interview when Isayama said that he was the one who added the Levi and Petra final scenes are here.

There's the song analysis of Petra's song to Levi which also confirms it.

And the straight up confirmation that Petra loved Levi.

In Attack On Titan's Volume 7 explanation, it was even said that there might have been mutual feelings between Levi and Petra. And that Petra's admiration for him was in the form of love.

Petra, fondly: sometimes Levi talks in his sleep, it’s adorable.

Levi, asleep: Fight me… You motherfucker… Square up… I think the fuck not
