there’s something really funny about 8 year old armin’s face with 19 year old armin’s attitude

[ocean-armin]

biblically accurate nerd Armin was just what I needed in this awful awful week <3

I just know he’d know soooo much jojos lore and be an expert at internet stalking

You know this bitch got even more to say shit about the entire movie when he pose like that.

hi y’all!

sorry I’ve been a little mia this past month, after what happened back at the end of june I was kinda perturbed by the vibes on here and scared of posting …on top of two jobs and trying to study for the lsat. whoops!

anyways, I’m back/checking in! new fic coming relatively soon 💋

hope everyone is having a nice summer!

[ocean-armin]

There should be an equivalent to asking "how's the wife and kids?" that's like "so how's that fictional man of yours doing?"

[ocean-armin]

You're all psychotic and need to be put in a mental hospital.

you’re the one that’s bullying people and sending me SEVEN anon asks on here instead of finding a job

not giving this any more attention, please stop harassing my mutuals <3

[ocean-armin]

You are not Armin's wife. You will never be Armin's wife.

you are not fun at parties. you will never be fun at parties 🤓

okay anon whatever you say!

[ocean-armin]

I love your blog! Your aesthetic everything! You're like the version of everything I like but improved (Aot x Lana x Taylor)

So... It was thought of...Armin is so "Sweet nothing"!!

On the way homeI wrote a poem You say, "What a mind"This happens all the time - I dare say that Armin writes anything that reminds him of the rector or inspires him!

'Cause they said the end is comingEveryone's up to somethingI find myself running home to your sweet nothings - In a world like that of aot After the rumble Everyone expects something from Armin And he takes comfort in knowing that the reader only loves him for what he is and not for what he is expected to be!

I. LOVE. THIS. and the song?? PERFECTION.

Armin for SURE just says/writes the most eloquent and beautiful shit all the time and shrugs it off. that man is ALWAYS scribbling something down in a notebook, and it’s always somehow the most touching thing you’ve ever read? like…how are we not supposed to be BAFFLED by you, dude??

everyone absolutely expects way too much from Armin. ESPECIALLY post-war, since the man is a literal politician starting at 19. that’s a LOT to carry on your shoulders at such a young age, especially processing crazy grief and trauma. he really needs someone to ground him and prove that they love him for just him, not Commander Arlert. so I’m always a sucker for when the reader and him are able to ground each other and see thru each other like no one else <3

should I write a full fic for this one? 👀 I’m tempted y’all…

[ocean-armin]

happy mother’s day to that mom who sold y/n to one direction

[ocean-armin]

hello! i found your post-war! armin fics and they’re so??????? there’s so little post-war! armin fics literally anywhere (specially so well written ones), so finding yours absolutely made my day. also, i adore the way you tie them with song lyrics i’m such a sucker for that!!

anyways, i love them so much and wanted to let you know! 😭🫶

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, oh my god 🥹<333

this is my first tumblr ask and omg, means SO much to me. I’m so glad you like everything!! if I’m being honest I’m kinda insecure on the writing side of fanfic since I feel like I’m yelling into the void with some of these. this means sooooo so so much.

I’m such a sucker for post-war armin, don’t think people talk about it more because omfg let the boy REST. give him domesticity or give me DEATH.

definitely will be cooking up some more since I’m on summer break <3 thank you again for the bajillionth time!!

THUNDER

Armin x Reader

Synopsis: Armin and reader attend an Ambassadors gala together after the war, inspired by…ANOTHER Lana song :)

Tags: armin arlert x reader, post-canon, post final season/ch 139, alluding to death, shameless fluff, fem!reader if you squint (mentions of being his ‘wife’), language warning?

enjoy <3 glad to be back!

When someone says that ‘they’ll only be a minute’, do they ever really mean it?

From what you’ve experienced, the answer is no. After the Rumbling, remaining society has subscribed to thinking that they have all of the time in the world. Whether it be lingering too long in the grocery line, or goodbyes that entail chatting in the doorway when all you want to do is shut the door. Time is no longer a luxury.

You wish it was. You and Armin were supposed to have left the Ambassadors’ gala about thirty minutes ago. Armin told you that he’d only be a minute, as he had to wish everyone a formal goodbye. Placing a soft kiss to your temple and a squeeze to your hip, he rushed back to the group of other ambassadors to shake their hands. You were dismissed from your duty of ‘Commander’s Wife’ for the night; and were left to observe the long winded formalities of politicians and world-leaders, when they could just say ‘goodbye’ instead.

Now, you’ve found yourself against the doorway with your heels in hand, still nursing a glass of champagne. If there’s anything you’ve gotten good at as a commander’s wife, it’s observing your husband.

How could you not observe him? Armin Arlert has always known how to light up a room. You watch the familiar way in which his bright eyes crinkle at the corners when he smiles, golden strands of hair cascading into his eyes as he laughs. His cheeks still rosy with liquor, you smile to yourself. Such a lightweight. How lucky you were to call a man touched by Midas your own.

Armin’s ability to flip a switch in order to charm became evident at a young age, when you both served time in the Survey Corps. Even as a young commander, his charisma and implied innocence allowed for strategies of manipulation to come easy to him. Now, as his wife, you could distinguish this strategy from a mile away. You knew he was forcing his allure.

“Goodnight everyone, I’ll see you again at the leadership summit. Have a wonderful spring,” Armin beamed, offering firm handshakes and a final wave before he finally strode over to the doorway.

“Ready to go?” You asked, knowingly, placing your empty glass on a table. You stepped closer to loosen his tie, he nodded in response.

“More than ever,” Armin quietly murmured, taking your heels from your hands, and placing a firm hand on your lower back in return.

****

The crisp cut of the rain plummeted onto your skin as you two stepped outside, the chill aiding you to cut through Armin’s facade.

“…I know you were upset back there,” you mentioned quietly, taking his hand in yours as you walked.

“God, I thought I was better at masking it,” he groaned, giving your hand a squeeze.

“You’re pretty damn convincing, but not to me. You know that.” You smiled wearily at him.

“I know…those people are just…” he inhaled sharply, “so ridiculous.” His anger became apparent, clearing his throat as his voice wavered. “God, as much as they talk of peace and how ‘lucky’ they are, they’ll never really know, will they? They’ll never know what we went through. To lose so many people…to lose our families, to lose him.” Armin stammered.

You stopped your forward pace, standing on the cobblestone sidewalk in front of Armin to properly listen.

“They don’t, and they’ll never understand. It’s hard to watch you be so nice to them…but you’re always good at it,” you said softly, squeezing his hand in yours.

“Even worse, they’re all so fucking old! I’ve been a commander and politician since I was nineteen, fighting since fifteen! These people have been comfortable their whole lives, and they act like they’ve suffered? I’m just so fed up with being so jovial with them,” Armin’s voice cracked, wiping his eyes with the hand holding your heels.

“You don’t always have to be nice to them, Armin. They should know what you went through. For fuck’s sake, you’re a commander and ambassador at twenty-two. You shouldn’t have to be,” you hugged him. “I know it’s hard, I know I’m not the one to tell you that it’s easy to do, either. But respect and kindness aren’t the same.”

Armin’s back shook, body racking with sobs as he hugged back tightly.

“I miss him too. God, I can’t believe that people are so privileged to not experience what we have. But god, I’m the luckiest, so lucky for both of us to be alive. To love you, and to be your wife,” your voice cracked with tears. “To be able to see you actually happy, and not just the ‘Commander Arlert’ charm. To be with the real you tonight. All dressed up…sopping wet.”

Armin chuckled, hiccuping through his tears, pulling away to look at you.

“I love you, so so much. And I’m freezing out here…” he laughed, wiping his eyes.

“I love you too. Let’s go dry off, warm up a little. No more wasted time tonight,” you reach to cup his cheek, rubbing your thumb along it.

“No time with you is wasted.”

****

You act like fucking Mr. Brightside when you're with all your friends,

But I know what you're like when the party ends . . .

You roll like thunder, pouring all your drinks

The party's lit and you, my friend, half-cut when it begins

You roll like thunder, you're tryna catch that wind

That lightning in the bottle, that moonbeam in your hand

And you try to see the bright side when each new day begins,

But you're not satisfied at the rainbows end.

[ocean-armin]

Yes, this is my man.

[ocean-armin]

This Armin from Levi's memory is so cute, his eyes shine so bright

Married to Armin Arlert (post war!)

Just a few little head canons that make my mind wander :)

╔═*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═╗ Cw: sfw, fluff, some homely ideas, armin x reader, dad! armin, ENJOY!!!

an: it’s been a while since I’ve written something so if it’s a bit off I apologize I’m rusty guys!! 🥲

Armin is a 👏 family 👏 man👏. Armin loves your kids and wants to spend his time reaching his adventurous ambitions with you and them. I can just picture he owns this small, secluded, sea side house far away from the city. Every summer he takes you and the kids and takes time off of work to just spend time alone. A Very simple yet cute head canon.

Family man Armin that comes home from work, kisses the kids whilst they’re asleep, and crawls into the comfort of your arms to be spooned after a hard day’s work.

Where I’m from, Hawaii, most girls have local jewelry. Usually adorned with seashells. Every time I see them I picture this is something Armin would gift you for anniversaries and events.

I’m sorry I can picture Armin being an absolute hoarder, not a chronically hoarding though. His collections of Knick knacks are usually at that cozy, summer beach house. It’s his secret guilty pleasure. (Secret because if anyone else finds out about his hoarding they’d tell Levi about Armin’s lack of cleanliness in that department). He’s not one of those nasty and unhygienic hoarders but more of a collector. He’d have an extra closet or box full of old alcohol, medicine, or perfume bottles he found in the ocean or in the sand. Jars full of colorful sea glass, along with shelves littered with sea shells. Although you’d prefer the clutter to stay in his area he can’t help himself but to display some of them as decor around the house.

Armin is such a clever guy, he’d write you hand written love letters, short or long, and slip them into one of his collected bottles for you to find. Since your house is already decorated with loads of sea bottles sometimes you don’t find them until months later while cleaning up the house. He’s the commander of the Survey Corps, he can be gone at work for days on end leaving you alone. And when he does come home it’s usually when you’re asleep late at night, and he’ll leave while you’re still asleep in the morning. So finding these messages were a highlight of your day.

Family man Armin that would willingly let his kids burry a huge hole in the sand to bury him neck deep into the sandpit. (One time the kids buried him, ran back to the beach house and forgot to return to dig him out. You later found him asleep in the sandpit at sunset).

just had my caffeine and by God I feel like a woman again
