A Stream of Consciousness Reaction to SnK

by a (newbie-ish) rivamika fan

Welcome to this very disorganized compilation of reactions I sent to friends while binge-reading the snk manga. Some of them are thirst texts about Levi and rivamika, some are crying, and some are just flat-out raging. I apologize for...all of it in advance.

This starts after the Female Titan arc since I watched those episodes years ago. Going back over the first 40 chapters was a refresher of sorts for me.

If you're a fan of E-E-Ren, or the Jaeger family in general, this is not the reaction series for you. I'm sorry.

Word count: Way too many

Screenshots: Way too many x 2

(Since tumblr doesn't allow more than 10 photos per text post I have no clue how many parts this will be)

Featuring:

My revival as a Basic Levi stan (Seriously, I talk about him too much. It's kind of unsightly.)

Rivamika flailing

Crying

Ranting about Jaegers

Every other emotion in between

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 (end)

Without further ado, here's part 1 and, of course, spoilers:

It's actually embarrassing the squeals that come out of my mouth when Levi shows up

Me seeing one panel of Levi: I love this man Me seeing another panel of Levi less than a second later: I love this man so much

It's nearly midnight here and I'm trying not to laugh/cry at the realization that some big wig in the anime business knew that by casting Kamiya Hiroshi as Levi I was going to hurl myself back into animanga And I took that very personally

This would be so much simpler if Levi were ugly Alas, he isn't And so we suffer

What the flying HELL is that monkey titan thing what the actual WHAT

NO NOT MIKE AHHHHHHHHHH CRAP NO I LIKED MIKE I KNEW HE DIED BUT NOT LIKE THIS NOOOOO

I'm watching a sci fi series with some other people and instead I just wanna throw myself on the floor. Mike didn't deserve to die like this. He died protecting the kiddos. And I-----

If Levi kills that ugly mofo [beast titan] in addition to everything else, he definitely deserves the title of "my sexual orientation" Seriously that ape is disgusting

Isayama: I want to make Eren an "attractive" titan Also Isayama: But not Ymir, she's gonna look like a rabid raccoon

Reiner revealing he and Bertholdt are the armored and colossal titans so casually gave me freaking whiplash

Reiner: Bertholdt and I are titans, too Bertholdt: I have never seen this man in my life I have no clue what he's talking abou—Reiner NO REINER NO TRANSFORMING FCK

Levi just showed up in a long sleeve shirt that exposes his collar bone I AM NOT OKAY I haven't been able to move onto the next page I'm just sitting here like an idiot laugh-crying So this is why he wasn't in the last few chapters. Not because he was injured, but we needed time to prepare before that stupid fracking shirt ruined our lives

Jean and Armin dressed up as Eren and Historia 😂😂😂

Mikasa: *knees someone in the face 180cm in the air* Levi: *takes down men twice his size single-handedly* Me: No it's fine. I'll just be over here. Mind kicking me in the face next?

the thirst starts coming and it don't stop coming and it don't stop coming and it don't stop coming

What do you mean this isn't the beginning of a fic?

HOW DARE

FBI agent: Oh no, not this short-ass anime dude again I can't take this again

Okay, of all the things to happen, I did not expect "Eren ate his dad" to be one of them

Chapter 64 has SO many good Levi/Mikasa panels I swear I'm drooling (+a sampler) "Power couple" sounds too weak for them.

Eren: HURRY UP AND EAT ME! Me: YOU NEED A DIFFERENT WAY OF PHRASING THAT

No offense, Erwin, but I trust you about as far as I can throw you

Sasha trying to eat the pork/beef roast whole 😂😂😂

I can't freaking breathe!!! Why are they such idiots?! Eren and Jean: I feel like I'm dying Mikasa and Armin: Then perish :)

[azroazizah]

Hey! I really love your art. I don't know if you have answered this before but what do you think about the author of Soul eater stating there is no romance between Soul and Maka?

Hello, and thank youuuu!!! /tackles

honestly, Soul and Maka’s relationship is Wholesome and Goals whether you have it as platonic or romantic

Then again, ooooooooooooooh boi do I have like a whole mangaverse fanfic series planned just for explaining that!

But honestly I go with the assumption that even Ohkubo doesn’t know that they’re married since they’re twelve lmao

Okay, so for the serious note, I do headcanon that they’re not even aware of their own feelings for each other for almost the entirety of the series. There was just so many things going on and they couldn’t afford to think about silly things like romance. They’re child-soldiers, Good Death.

Soul definitely was the first to notice. Exactly when, I don’t know. He started catching funny feelings for her pretty early on, but I have him resigned to his confusing feelings about Maka around the time skip, just before the Spartoi was established, when he started to be bolder and more confident on initiating their physical contacts. But he just hadn’t figure out that he’d fallen in love with her just yet he’s just so emotionally constipated pls help him

Hence why we have this on the Salvage Arc:

He knew he felt something, but he was afraid to fully embrace it, I guess, bc we know he’s so afraid of being connected to people. He’s so sensitive, but also is just that painfully reserved.

I have him fully embrace his feelings during the Battle on the Moon, in this scene, because he understands how painfully similar he and Crona was:

They both love Maka. Selfishly, unconditionally. And he starts to consider confessing. If you read my SoMa week last year you’ll know I have him confessing just after Kid’s coronation, which was like two months or so after the battle wwwwww okay stop with the shameless self-promotion

Meanwhile, Maka, oh my sweet dumb cake-pops, was denser than Osmium. She just started getting icky feelings around the time Soul got a fanbase. Hence this:

(you can see Soul’s lil blush, he’d already yielded to the Whatever-Feeling-It-Was wwwwww)

But Maka hadn’t even considered that those yucky jelly thingies she felt was some sort of L-word feelings. Yes. She’s that dumb, pls forgive her.

Her feelings deepened around the event of Envy and Sloth Chapter of Salvage Arc, obviously, but it started to show more openly at the Moscow Debacle.

See that little blush? Lmao. It started to evolve from icky jelly thingy to heart palpitations from this point on. She was annoyed because she started to feel weird things around him, so she hit him instead bc she was Maka Albarn and that’s what Maka Albarn does when she’s irked. And she started to give him a full attention and deeper observation which would lead to their Big Catharsis Fight in my wip fic but oh well and started to question her feelings for him.

She’d come to admit that she definitely has feelings for him at some point before the Moon War broke, but she’s not sure what kind of love it was. Is it platonic? Familial? Romantic? She was confused, but she set things aside to search for Crona. Both of them did.

Hence why we have this page on the last chapter:

also Soul what the fck about music u made together who cares just kiss her you dumbass

Anyway, here she’s already pretty sure she has a Maybe-L-word for him, but she’s afraid to make a move bc of issues I explained here.

Aaaaaaand that’s all for the entire canon timeline. if you want to know my post-canon hcs, you have to wait for my fic. Okay lol that would take forever, but just have this:

I headcanoned that Soul would confess just after that celebratory. Maka accepted that, but she was so damn unsure and afraid of her own trust issues and her grim idea on romantic relationship in the first place. She also doesn’t trust herself, if she could commit to that kind of relationship without letting Soul down eventually, so Soul agreed to take things slowly, he just wanted for her to give it a try. And, honestly, everything is alright if he can still be with her.

So, from that point on, if someone ask them if they’re dating, they would say no. But if they’re asked if they belong to each other, they would definitely say yes. It was confusing for strangers, and things were moving pretty slowly, but they were content with that. Not that they would tell people they were sucking faces at some points or another, but yeah.

They were officially established around the time of Wes’s wedding (yes, I have them reconciled bc damn you Ohkubo for not giving me Evans Brothers Contents) when they’re around 19-20 years old. And no, no one believed they’d just started dating. The only ones who don’t know Soul and Maka are dating are Soul and Maka.

Anyway, sorry for making this a long essay fdkjdnjkgjksfdghjdng this is definitely a bad habit of mine. Thank you for asking!!!

Snk chapter 134 - My personal thoughts

I didn't do a chapter review last time because there was not much to say - of course talk no jutsu failed. Flying titan is hilarious. I don't have much to say about 134 either.

First I have to admit that I was wrong. After this chapter I can no longer say the pregnancy is fake -

It made so much sense to me and now I feel like meh. Showing Historia giving birth simultaneously to the final battle is definitely no coincidence. I hate to say it but I guess the baby does have plot relevance. Maybe it will inherit a titan by coincidence when one shifter dies?

I would like it if the baby would somehow be the solution to ending the titan curse. Otherwise I don't know how the baby plot would make sense - No, I don't believe in E+H=Y, that would be the shittiest ending for me personally. No offense to EH shippers, I respect your opinion and your ship. I just don't share it.

But what concerns me the most about the baby plot is the treatment of Historia's character. She is reduced to giving birth, she didn't say anything in ages and got almost no screentime. What about her character arc? How does the baby plot fit to it? When will she finally be able to live the life she wants?

We have so little chapters left I'm worried she doesn't get a good conclusion. If she dies of childbirth that would be the worst for me. Her arc has always been about having a future, and creating it the way SHE likes it instead of pleasing others. So many people have fought for her safety and future. If she dies I'm done.

Those rumbling panels really hit. The way they fell off the cliff and saved that baby... Really emotional.

Levi kinda feels like a joke to me and that hurts because I love Levi. I have never been a fan of him wanting to kill Zeke even now, but I totally understand his reason. But I feel like lately it has become bad comedy. His character is only about "kill that fucking monkey" right now, I wish we would dig deeper.

Of course the blimps wouldn't stop the rumbling, but I was hoping they did something. Kinda disappointed they were crushed so easily when Eren saw them as threat

The beast titan is obviously fake. It looks white, has black eyes and is connected to Eren. It must be a puppet from the war hammer titan controlled by Eren. I'm surprised no one of the alliance squad said anything about it. Maybe next chapter?

That leads to the question: Where the fuck is the real Zeke Jäger?! He would never support the rumbling. I hope he's not dead I want to see him. I feel like he could influence the plot a lot which could be exciting.

My favourite moment was Reiner taking initiative and transforming, ready to fight. Of course I will colour that page. It was very touching to see how the warrior families watched it and Karina realising her huge mistakes.

I'm very excited to see Reiner in the next chapters. It's time to stop being depressed 24/7 and rise again. Don't get me wrong, it was very important for his character and redemption to be depressed, but it kinda gets annoying when this is everything a character is about. And it felt like this the last chapters. So I'm really looking forward to him in action!

My MVP: Reiner

Rating: I'm not sure, probably 7/10. It depends on what the fck happens next.

Hopes for next chapter: Real Zeke please

CHAPTER 01

"I love you. Be mine." Sound seems to fade as the taller man’s mauve gaze meets Kiara’s own. Seconds pass, her heart skips a beat. The man's larger hand is holding her own to his chest as if she's a lost princess who has just been found. "What...?" "I have loved you since the moment I first laid my eyes on you." the beautiful man's low baritone promises a myriad of things Kiara can't quite understand. He towers over her by a solid eight inches, his short black hair a hot mess of thick waves which fall in a layered style, framing his well defined face perfectly. Mouth dry, Kiara can only stare up at the man for a few seconds, before finally uttering out a, "Who... are you...?" The naturally narrowed gaze seems to pierce through her own before his brows droop, expression forlorn. The expression lingers a mere seconds before a saddened smile curves his lips. "Of course you don't recognize me." he murmurs, voice dropping. "Uhm, what?" Kiara awkwardly tries to tug her hand back, only for the man's grip to tighten. Pulling her closer, the man's smile turns utterly charming, making the young woman wonder if the previous expression was a mere figment of her imagination. "My name is Dante... it's a pleasure to meet you, Kiara Cross." raising her hand to his pale face, his thin lips graze against her knuckles, before he finally releases the appendage. Turning on his heel, he abruptly walks off, a final smile cast upon the confused woman from over his shoulder. He's gone before she can even ask him how he knows her name.

   "Kiara, are you okay?" Kiara blinks slowly to snap herself out of her stupor. The sounds of the college classroom register in the back of her mind and she shakes her head, before turning her attention back on the male seated next to her. Luca White's baby blue eyes have widened slightly in concern, his shoulder length dark blonde hair pulled back in a partial ponytail as has become usual for him. "Yeah, I'm fine," Kiara gives an apologetic smile, trying to push the events from last weekend out of her mind. "Just thinking, that's all." "You've been out of it all week," Luca's eyebrows raise a bit "Did something happen?" "Nothing's out of the ordinary, don't worry." Kiara is quick to assure. If she's being honest, she should tell her childhood friend about the odd encounter she'd had at the mall the other week, especially since the stranger seemed to know her name. But for some reason she can't bring herself to do it. The more she thinks about him, the more Kiara can't help but think that the man, Dante, was oddly familiar in a way... but she's certain she'd never met him before. She'd never forget a man like that, especially not with those eyes. Not only was the purplish shade strange, but there was something about them, something that pulled her in... she hasn't been able to get the encounter out of her mind all week. Averting his gaze, Luca licks his lips briefly, before turning his attention back to the other. "Was it one of your dreams again?" "No, no," Kiara shakes her head quickly "It's nothing like that, don't worry." she'd rather not think back to the vivid dreams she's grown up with. Fortunately they became rare as she grew up. "Really?" Luca gives a small, relieved smile, ruffling his messy fringe with his hand a bit. "That's great, really..." "Yeah, so don't worry about that, okay? I'm just thinking about later. You know, Matt..." she trails off, and just like that the smile leaves Luca's lips. "What did he do this time?" With a sigh, Kiara props her chin up on her hand. "He got into another fight. Seriously, just because mom and dad aren't around, he thinks he can do whatever he wants..." she sighs. "When are they going to come back?" "No idea. End of the month, maybe? Next month? Who is to say?" Luca nods once before resting his cheek against his hand to level his gaze with Kiara's. "Want me to go talk to him? I can smack some sense into him, if need be." "Don't worry about it," dropping her voice to a whisper as the Professor starts his lecture, Kiara gives Luca a weary smile. "I can handle it." They both know it's a lie. "Good afternoon, everyone. Please open your books to page-" The class passes in much of a blur for Kiara; nothing the professor says really seems to stick, her notes are filled with random doodles she wouldn't be able to explain as anything other than 'art is in the eye of the beholder'. She can still hear Dante's low, sultry voice now, the memory bringing a pleasant shiver down her spine. In the end it's the final bell which jars her out of her daze, forcing her to stop her artistic rendition of what might be a burning hill if the scribbles count for something, and to make a quick note on what the assignment for this week is. Avoiding the piercing gaze she can just _feel_ coming from next to her, Kiara messily shoves her books and pencil case into her bag before getting up. "Well that was interesting." she tells the blonde. "Learned a lot. You?" "Yeah... sure." Luca responds slowly before also rising from his seat. He opens his mouth to ask something, then seems to think otherwise and changes his words: "Let's meet up tonight to get a head start on the assignment, okay?" "Uh-huh, sounds great." Halfway to the parking lot, Kiara stops in her tracks and looks around. That's odd... is she getting stared at? "Kiara?" Luca stops as well and looks back at me with a furrowed brow. The feeling of being watched disappears as soon as it had appeared and Kiara shakes her head. "No, just thought I forgot something, sorry about that." "Uh... huh. You know you look a little cross-eyed when you lie, right?" Eyes widening, Kiara splutters indignantly before swatting Luca's arm. "I do not!" Luca stops at his car with a laugh. "I'll drop by after dinner. Don't forget." "I won't, I won't." Kiara huffs softly while unlocking the car next to Luca's, pretending like she doesn't feel his concerned gaze boring holes into her head. "I see you tonight, okay?" "Yeah, okay." Luca agrees. Kiara gives him a faint smile, then gets into her car and closes the door. "Now for the next item on the list..." she stares ahead for a few seconds, unseeing, before buckling up with a sigh. Turning on the engine, she pulls out of the parking lot, before heading off to Matt's school.

Preston Academy is a private school for the intellectual and prestigious children. It's the educational grounds to those whose parents can afford them, or a lucky few who are able to grab hold of one of the three scholarships extended each year and are able to maintain those. Kiara pulls up in front of the gates surrounding the large, white building and soon walks past the familiar fountain of her ex-school. An ID check is required to enter the building, then it's through the large, arched doors and up to the first floor. The halls have quieted down. The school has been out for half an hour by now. She finds Matthew sitting outside the principal's office. He's holding an ice pack to his face. "Matt," Kiara approaches and tries to ignore how Matthew's scowl deepens. "I got a call again." she continues, trying to sound firm. "Good on you." Matthew mutters, glare fixed on the desk. "Your cheek too, let me take a look at it-" "Don't need you to." Taking a deep breath, Kiara clears her throat, leaning down a bit to be eye level. "Do you want to tell me what happened?" she isn't surprised when she doesn't get a reply, but that doesn't stop the disappointment sigh. "Matt, I can't help you if you don't-" "You can't help me anyway." He kicks the desk with a heavy scowl. "You're not mom. So stop acting like you are." Kiara purses her lips together. She reckons she should be used to hearing the same remark over and over, but it never fails to smart. "No. I'm not," she agrees "But I'm here right now, and I'm the best you got." "Joy." Kiara narrows her eyes a bit, "Matt..." "Miss Cross? Please enter." Kiara looks up when the cold, clipped tone cuts off what she was about to say. The door to the principal's office has opened, revealing the tall and thin woman who is dressed in a navy skirt suit with black stockings. The thin, pursed lips do nothing to hide the stern wrinkles around the aging mouth, graying hair pulled into a tight enough bun that many would like to attribute her ever sour mood to a headache and Kiara is certain the creases around the woman's steely gray eyes have nothing to do with smiling. She stares down at the siblings through half moon glasses. Kiara can only hope she didn't hear just how little control she has over her brother. "Mrs. Hawkings." she greets, straightening up as if she's the one in trouble. She gives Matthew a final, stern glance as the principal steps aside enough for her to enter. Once she does, the door closing behind her feels more like a death sentence, if anything. "Sit down, please." Kiara sits down on the chair she's found herself far too many times ever since Matthew started attending the school. However, rather than on the woman sitting at the other side of the large oak desk, Kiara's eyes are drawn to the lace tablecloth covering it. Plum in color; it reminds her of Dante's eyes. When no word comes from Kiara, Mrs. Hawkings clears her throat, drawing the young woman's attention. "So," she starts, beady eyes narrowed. "Here we are. _Again_." purposefully placing the emphasis on again, her thin hands lace together on the desk. "Yes..." "That would make this the fourth time this semester, would it not?" Kiara bites the inside of her cheek. She was here the other meetings as well, she _knows_ how many of them there were. "May I ask what happened this time, Mrs. Hawkings?" Turning up her nose at Kiara, Mrs. Hawkings straightens up even further. "Apparently young Matthew thought it fit to punch a fellow student in an attempt to grab his wallet." Kiara's eyes widen in response. "Come again?" She can't believe what she's hearing! Did he really sink that low? The accusing stare the older woman casts her doesn't make her feel any better about the situation, as if _she's_ to blame for whatever happened. "He had... requested Jamie Williams’ wallet, Miss Cross. In front of various witnesses, after bruising Mr. Williams’ rib with his fist. The only reason we haven’t contacted the police is because the testimonies are questionable in nature, being that they were solely from Mr. Williams’ friends." "So there's still a chance that it didn't happen, right?" Kiara asks quickly. "Be that as that may, an entire group of students has witnessed Matthew suddenly attacking Mr Williams. Based on that fact alone, I am forced to suspend your brother for a month." "But he'll be a month behind on everything! And you're not even sure about exactly what happened-" She is cut off by the way the principal's eyes narrow disapprovingly. "If one more incident occurs, miss Cross. He will be missing far more than just a month. Honestly, raising a 15-years old boy is no task for a _child_. If your parents would be even the _slightest_ bit more responsible-" Kiara drops her gaze back to the tablecloth, zoning out as the rant on her parents continues. Why is _she_ the one getting lectured now? It's not as if she asked for this sort of situation. It's unfair. "I'm sorry, but will this be all?" Kiara has no doubt that, had she looked up just then, she would have been met with a highly indignant look at her interruption. But that's the least of her concerns right now. "I suppose we are done," she concedes in  clipped tones "For now." Finally tearing her gaze away from the tablecloth, Kiara stands up and extends her hand for the elder woman politely. The long, slightly dry fingers wrap around her own just a tad too firmly and Kiara just _knows_ it's on purpose. "Call your parents. And tell them to come home and raise your brother. The way they _should_." "That is a highly inappropriate thing to say, Mrs. Hawkings." Kiara responds through gritted teeth. "The truth is often inappropriate, miss Cross." Turning on her heel, Kiara strides out of the office, firmly closing the door behind her. Matthew quickly leans away from the thin wall he'd be leaning against in an effort to overhear what was going on, but she doesn't comment on that. Instead, she keeps walking, not glancing back as she tosses him a swift, "We're leaving." Matthew sluggishly rises from his seat, icepack in one hand, his book bag in the other, before he follows at a leisurely pace despite the ever growing distance between the two. By the time he opens the door to the passenger seat, Kiara is already buckled up, the engine running. "She said you attacked someone to get his wallet, is this true?" Kiara asks, not taking her gaze off of the window as she hears Matthew close the door behind him. "Doesn't matter what I'll say, does it?" Matthew scowls, slumping on his seat "Not like anyone's gonna believe me anyway." "Seat belt." Kiara mutters, only pulling out of the parking space after Matthew is strapped in properly. "And it _does_ matter. If you say you didn't do it, then I'll believe you." "Yeah? Well, I say that’s not what happened." "What _did_ happen then?" Kiara asks, only to be met with silence. "Matt." she urges, briefly glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, but her brother's gaze remains solidly on the window. _"Matthew."_ "God, you're so annoying, just shut up already!" Matthew scowls, kicking the dashboard. Clenching her jaw, Kiara's fingers clutch the steering wheel until her knuckles turn white. "Matthew Davidson Cross, that is _no_ way to talk to me." "Yeah? Well _bite me_." Tears sting her eyes, and Kiara would like to think it's the soreness of her clenched teeth causing them, rather than the behavior of her brother. She can taste some blood. The silence lingers heavily in her car, the hairs on her arms standing upright from the sudden chill she's feeling. No matter what she tries, no matter what she says, will it ever be good enough? Will she ever be able to make this work out properly? A poster catches her eye when they're forced to wait before a traffic light. "Look, it's a poster of mom." she motions towards a movie of a hyped up, up and coming movie that is due to be released in two to three months. The familiar visage of their mother is plastered on the large poster board: the main character once again. Lucina Cross, known to the public as the famed Lucy Lawson. Still, not even the mention of their mother is enough to draw Matthew's attention, and Kiara gives up on further conversation. By the time they reach their home, a large Victorian themed building made up of three floors, an attic and a basement, and large arched windows spread across the high walls, Matt leaves the car before Kiara even has time to turn off the engine. "Matt, come back!" Kiara calls out, opening her door. "We're not done talking yet!" But the only response she receives is the front door slamming shut behind Matthew as he hurries inside without a glance back. "Damnit..." Kiara drops her head on the steering wheel with a groan. "How am I supposed to deal with this...?"

                           _"Kiara..."_

"Huh...?" Opening her eyes again, Kiara finds herself standing in a grand, dimly lit bedroom. The antique Victorian furniture looks like it’s made of gold rather than wood, and all the fabric is in varying shades of black silk and red velvet. The subtle scent of sandalwood incense penetrates her nose. Her heart pounces in her chest, gaze flitting around the room. The way the candles flicker gently in the distance make her think of a dream I might have had once or twice in the past, even if she doesn’t remember ever seeing a scene like this before. "This is... a dream...?" she breathes out, voice barely audible as she turns around. "Do you wish for it to be?" Kiara turns around at the sound of the smooth voice, shivers running down her neck at the familiar baritone. It's only when the skirt whips past her legs that she realizes that she is wearing a long velvety dress. The dark red color appears black in the dim light, the slit on one side going higher than she is comfortable with. However, any thoughts on the attire are wiped away when her gaze falls on the other occupant of the room. Dante is leaning against one of the poles of the grand four poster bed, red silken fabric draped across the mattress beautifully, littered with red and black rose petals. His fierce mauve eyes gaze seems to glow in the dim light, peering out from under his messy black hair. His black button up shirt is unbuttoned and untucked from his black jeans, while his black leather shoes reflect the light of the candles ever so slightly. Kiara's breath catches in her throat. "It _must_ be a dream..." Her heart skips a beat when Dante's lips twitch into a subtle smirk. "Then, we must be in your head right now..." his low voice sends another shiver down her spine as Dante pushes himself off of the bedpost. "_I_ must be in your head right now...?" he purrs, extending a hand for her to take. Kiara takes it without hesitation and in one smooth move she is pulled against his cheek. His other hand comes to rest on her lower back while his heated gaze doesn't leave her for even a second. Surely, it must be a dream, because Kiara is certain that it's impossible for a person's heart to race this fast without combustion. "So... Am I...?" "Yeah..." Kiara breathes out, barely taking notice of anything but his alluring eyes. He'd be able to ask her to admit to any crime in the world right now and she wouldn't think twice about agreeing. "Good..." he murmurs, his smirk growing as he leans down, lips next to her ear. "Because you are the one in my head, too. _Always_." A shudder of excitement runs down Kiara's spine when Dante's large hands gently ease her back onto the bed, his broad frame towering over her. "Let’s have you think of me even more, shall we?" He murmurs, slowly dragging his fingers up her leg via the skirt's slit as he leans closer, his breath landing on her lips gently. Kiara's back arches and her eyes flutter closed to accept the kiss- _"Tsk."_ "... Huh?" Did he just click his tongue?

When Kiara opens her eyes she is once again in the car, Luca worriedly shaking her. "Kiara, are you alright?" "Hm...?" She blinks a few times to get rid of the daze, slowly realizing where she is, and with who she is. "Thank Heavens..." Luca gives her a crooked smile, breathing out a relieved sigh. "I thought something was wrong. Looks like you just fell asleep." "Oh, uh..." Kiara stares at him for a moment before nodding. Of course it was a dream. What else could it be? It's impossible for it to have been real, no matter how real it all felt. But, to dream something like _that_... A flush works its way up her cheeks, only deepening when Luca's eyebrow raises. "You, uh... You're early." she stutters out quickly. "I saw you sitting in your car from my room, and since you weren't moving... Are you _really_ okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, I just- I don't know, I didn't sleep well, so..." Kiara mutters, rubbing her eyes. Had she really been so tired to fall asleep in her _car_ of all things? How odd. "Hm..." Luca furrows his brow a bit, then shakes his head. "Come on, I'll help you get inside, okay? You can take a proper nap there. Or you can talk to be about how things went with Mrs. Hawkface. Mom'll call me when dinner's done." Kiara's lips twitch slightly at the juvenile name that was used back when they attended to school themselves. "Thanks... I could really use someone to talk to, about that." "That bad, huh?" "Yeah, and _then_ some." Finally leaving the car, Kiara tries not to push the dream from her mind. Why did she dream about a man she's only met once? Why did she dream something like _that_...? Luca's voice is a welcome distraction as she follows the blonde inside her house. It was just a dream. No point in giving it much more thought. What else could it be, right?

_Just a dream..._

Submission: (It’s way too long to post it in the inbox so i will submit it like that, im sorry 😂)

Hello Cor! I just want to share my thoughts and my feelings with you ha ha because I’m so emotional right now like I dunno how to feel… It’s like im in denial but not that much? Im sad and all but the good fandom post and memes make me so happy ha ha and also, i can’t really be sad after such a beautiful chap. It’s was nearly perfect, i really loved it! (I want to say a random fact that this chapter was the longest I spend time on, 3h to read it ha ha ha) So, I have so much to say about it 😂

First, I really loved the contrast of the last two chapter covers with the B&W lycoris/butterfly and the minimalistic look, such an impact and it’s stunning!

Second, all the characters look are amazing! Hide? SUCH A CUTIE AND PERFECT BOI ❤️ (his smiley mask, i can’t 😭) Tsukiyama with his shorter hair and his hair on the side? PERFECT he really looks like a prince and/or a character from a shojo (as expected of TG XD) Nishiki with a little undercut? YASSSS good shit 👌 Urie with no undercut? ALSO VERY GOOD 👌 (he got an Ayato look :x) Mutsuki & Shinsanpei with shorter hair? GIVE IT TO ME Yusa? Still with fluffy hair! Yomo with (i hope it’s pink) ribbons? A dream comes true!!!!!!😭👌 Pleasure-chan? SO FCKING PERFECT SHES PERFECT I CANT OMFG AND KANEKI AND TOUKA ❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖😭👌😭👌😭👌 (and all the characters are perfect so many, to react to them all 😂)

Third, it was so bittersweet to see Ui, Hirako and Kuramoto seeing each other even when they don’t work together anymore and also when they visit Arima with Fura i- i just- 😭😭😭

Fourth, IM SO HAPPY TO SEE TOKAGE FUCKING FINALLY DEAD YES he really deserved it.

Fifth, Yusa grew up so much he’s so cute & hot i can’t 😭❤️ and the Qs and all at the Chateau living like a big family it’s just so perfect i can’t… My heart 😭❤️ Strong vibes from Urie being the Dad and Saiko being the Mom 😂😂😂 Urie smiling genuinely makes me so happy woahhh i love him so much (and him getting a little bit jealous over Mutsuki’s promotion was 👌) and the photos of the Qs… Like the photo Hori took way back in the first volume and the fact that Urie was making the same hand sign as Shirazu in the lastest Qs photo broke my heart… 😭😭😭

Sixth, the whole part with the reunion of Juuzou and Shinohara was too perfect for me, i couldn’t contain my tears… 😭 The page with Juuzou falling on his knees was so damn powerful and the next page have an even bigger impact with the parallel of the first part. Like Juuzou has the same expression for two similar situation… AND ALSO i broke in tears again when i saw the arcana 21 on Juuzou like… It hit me like a truck and reminded me again that it’s the end, it’s the conclusion and i can’t handle that… 😭💔Anyway, im so happy to see that Juuzou and Shinohara are reunited!

Seventh, all the marriages that happened and no AyaHina (yet) im waiting sensei ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) joking, all the marriages are so pure (Naki and Miza ha ha ha Poor Miza she really is strong and their kids are soooo cute, Nishiki and Kimi, I was really happy to be fully canon after that page in the calendar, they are so perfecttttt 💖 [but JB’s translation makes it like they aren’t married so i dunno actually] and Jiro and Banjou, so cute too!).

Eighth, the part with Rio is sad and I wished we could see more of AkirAmon but i dont really mind!

Ninth, I knew Yomo would be head over heels (well who isn’t lmao?) for Pleasure-chan ha ha and Ayato is like his uncle 😂 I laughed so hard when i saw those panels ha ha

Tenth, the new style for the Clowns is greatttt, i feel like everyone cut their hair shorter 😂 Uta is still great with that hair (Itori too) but something bugs me… Uta… Doesn’t have any tattoos anymore? 🤔 I think it’s maybe something Ishida-sensei forgot since he was in such a rush…

And CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW TOUKA IS PERFECT???????????? 💖 THE QUEEN IS PERFECT 💞💖😭👌 and the second baby Kaneki??? SIGN ME THE FCK UP!!!!! I hope it’s a boy so it’ll become a parallel to the Kirishima siblings ❤️ hu hu hu hu hu and is it me or i feel strange having all the characters infos but not Touka’s? :/

But it was great to see (and notice) that the first character we see of the TG series is Hide and that he’s the first one we see on the last chapter AND! the last one with the character info!!! I loved getting a little bit of his backstory (and even if it’s a mistranslation or smth i want Hide to have canon gay dads ha ha)! And to see Kaneki (being saved by Ayato 👌) so happy and all with his family, his friends, his loved ones, is so pure and amazing, he finally made peace and he is living. It’s such a perfect ending and im so proud of him and grateful to sensei. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The clear blue sky page is so amazing i can’t… And the last nostalgic color page of TouKen? YES & THANK YOU ISHIDA-SENSEI 🙏❤️😭

It was a great manga that i followed for nearly four years with all the screamings, the tears, the stress, the pains and the joys and i never invested so much time and effort (even tho i remained in the shadows, lurking, of the fandom 😂) into a manga before and im so glad i found people that much invested in it and thank you Cor for always bringing the good in the fandom and let your emotions out for us, I really related to you! 😂 You really are a great person imo, so yeah, really, thank you very much for all the things you did! 😄👍 💖

(And i am so sorry for this big ass text i can’t believe it’s that long :x)

Ps : And also i forgot to talk about Kuroiwa being alive… Well im glad the Kuroiwa family is fine but i thought he was dead, and also Takeomi with his child (i hope he becomes a friend of Pleasure-chan and/or Baby Kaneki in the future) was funny and him and Urie being now bff is A+++++

Pps : Despite having being sold the CCG and endured so much, Saiko (and her mysterious brother, i really want to see his face) took care of their mother until the end…

Ppps : Last but not least, this chapter was really full of love and friendship, it was so bright and blinding, wow! Never a TG chapter felt this radiant before!

Tl;dr This chapter was amazing and a roller coaster of emotions but im so happy to know a fabulous manga like that! ❤️ And that’s all, thx for reading all that nonsense ha ha ha 😂😂😂

I’m answering this from the puddle in the floor I melted into seeing that ending with the blue sky, thankyou for sharing your thoughts and joining me in this fandom! I had so much fun ❤️

[lanaarwenlazar]

in honor of villain releasing and me starting it later today, here is a special insight into my brain in the form of the notes i made on my phone as i was reading monster last year, completely unedited (so with all my spelling mistakes and freakouts)

there are spoilers for monster, obviously

(keep in mind that i was very emotional about being back in the gone-universe, so don’t judge me lmao)

Writing Tag

I was tagged by @pilindiel (Thx :D & It’s good to be back)

Responses under the cut!

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

It’s a play on how in Bleach Ichigo’s sisters call him Ichi-nii. I always saw Ichigo as a brother figure and wished he was my brother instead of the jackass of an older brother that I have, so it’s IchiBri cause Bri is the first half of my last name.

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback?

Wrong Place, Wrong Time. Which is honestly surprising cause it was my first sh/eith fic and I’m still in awe that so many people continue to follow it and leave comments every chapter.

3. What is your AO3 profile icon and why did you choose it?

It’s the same as my tumblr icon cause I adore Shiro and I love how pretty his eyes are in it.

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

All of them. Like honestly, when someone comments all the time, they become a dear friend to me. I have so much gratitude for them that I just want to shower them with love.

5. Is there a fanfic you keep going back to read again and again?

There’s some old Grimm/Ichi fics I absolutely loved in high school that I still reread every now and then.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

Including author subscriptions, it’s 41. And I’ve got 73 bookmarks.

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

Magical, maybe?? Or slightly magical, like modern aus with demons or witches or time travel. Most of my original stuff is modern fantasy/supernatural/monster stuff too.

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total?

18 subscribed to me as an author, 251 story subscriptions, and 300 story bookmarks in total

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

I’d love to write some really dark, twisted shit. But yeah, not super into the whole ‘fiction equals reality’ argument that many people like tossing around. I’m lucky enough to avoid an/ties in the v.ld fandom so I’m not gonna push my luck.

10. Is there anything you’d like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

Outlining and sticking to a damn plot. I wing everything and change so much it’s not even funny. It’d be so much easier if I could sit down and plot out a story before starting it, but I’m too impatient for that.

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

Normally popular ships. Call me vain, but I prefer the bigger audience that comes with popular ships.

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day?

25

13. How many stories do you have saved in/ with your writing program?

As in like wips? Cause not counting one-liners or jumbled ideas tossed together, then about 6. But if overall, then everything I’ve written since freshman year of high school, so a lot.

14. Do you write down story ideas or just keep them in your head?

I write them down in a note pad app on my phone cause they normally come to me when I don’t have pen/paper. I’ve been known to wake up in the middle of the night with an idea, type it out on the app, and find garbled nonsense the next morning, lol.

15. Have you ever co- authored a story?

Kinda. More like co-authored an au, where we came up with it together and wrote our own separate takes on it.

16. How did you discover AO3?

A bit after I got into Bleach, I was looking for more fics cause ff.net just didn’t have many for the pairing I wanted, and I noticed quite a few authors were moving to AO3 so I checked it out.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

No, but I’m super grateful for the readers I have.

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

Nope

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Not in particular, but there are plenty of well-written, poetic fics that inspire me to write. Cause the best inspiration for me is reading others’ fics. But encouragement wise, that comes from my fandom friends. And my mom, lol. She reads everything of mine whether it’s fandom or not.

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Don’t compare yourself to anyone but who you were yesterday. The writers you’re looking up to have been writing for many years, even decades. With tons of practice and an open mind willing to learn and develop, you’ll find your style and what works for you. Trust me, one day, you’ll look back and see how much you’ve grown, and you’ll feel immense pride in how far you’ve come. But first, you have to give yourself that time to grow.

21. Do you plot out your stories or do you just figure it out as you go?

I plot out the first 3-5 chapters and the climax, but everything else is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And if it’s a oneshot, then I only have a general idea of what I want to write and let myself go whichever direction the words take me.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Yep. I’ll admit, I was hurt and pissed off at first. I ignored it, because they could have just as easily stopped reading if they didn’t like the direction the story was going. Like guys, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Writers are people too, and unless you commissioned the story, you have no say in the direction a writer takes it.

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (Action, smut, etc)

Lol, I gave up trying to write smut when I realized I was ace, cause it’s just awkward as fuck, and I can’t stop laughing the entire time. But action scenes are kinda the bane of my existence. I think I’ve gotten down the basics and learning how to involve the 5 senses to make it more dynamic, but it’s still like pulling teeth for me. I prefer writing emotional vs physical.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

Wrong Place, Wrong Time. Sh/eith Ferngully au. Sh/eith Heart Adventures au. And two original short stories, one about a grim reaper taking the soul of a baby and another about a human falling in love with an ichthyocentaur (basically a mermaid & a centaur all in one). Oh and they're lesbians because fck yeah they are.

25. Do you plan your new projects before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

Yeah. I've got a huge list of projects/aus I want to do. My notepad app has so many snippets of different stories/plots it's not even funny.

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

No. I crumble under pressure, and trying to reach a daily word count always leaves me feeling like shit. Some days I'm lucky to write a single sentence and others I'll go on for hours.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

God yeah. I've been writing stories since elementary school and it's hilarious reading what I thought was amazing back them. And even in just this past year, I've grown a lot and feel as though I've finally settled into a style that’s my own.

28. What is your favourite story that you have written?

Oh man, right now it's probably Grown-ups Come Back just because of how deep that cut me to write it. Like even now when I reread it, the emotions are still raw and I bawl my eyes out.

29. What is your least favourite story that you have written?

Ugh, Casper. It was a halloween extra for AToS, and it was rushed and forced and yeah, not super proud of it.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

With more novels under my belt and hopefully a steady-ish income coming from writing. Cause hopefully one day it can become my full-time job and I’ll be able to support myself off it.

31. What’s the easiest part about writing?

Coming up with plot points/scenes. It's super easy for me to think/write plot points, it's just connecting them together that gets a little challenging.

32. What is the hardest part about writing?

Keeping track of subtle actions. Like a character talking while holding a cup in their hand and then a page later the cup magically disappears cause I forgot I gave them a damn cup.

33. Why do you write?

Because I love it, and I'm good with written words. My oral communication skills suck, and it's frustrating to struggle with getting my thoughts to come out of my mouth properly and cohesively. But writing lets me say exactly what I want to and portray it in a desired way. Also I'm a deeply emotional person and exploring emotions through characters and stories helps to sort through my own and is my main coping mechanism for dealing with life.

[dorovahkiin]

SnK Chapter 129: My personal thoughts (SPOILERS)

- Armin is knocked out. I feel like this is a plot device for Armin not participating because him nuking the port in the end would be too easy?

- If Hanji is right, Liberio is probably doomed. I feel so sorry for the warriors and their families

- I wonder where this Odiha twist leads to, I have no idea

- Is Annie going to rebel because they probably won't go to Liberio? I can't wait to find this out

- Jean thinking about Fez-kun is nice because it shows he cares for non Eldians

- Finally seeing my peeps Reiner and Annie fighting again and more importantly - together!

- Reiner protecting Annie was one of my top moments! I love them so much

- I don't agree with Floch's values, but damn he is well written and I enjoy seeing him on screen because he spices things up. Even if he butchers Erwin's words

- In general I like that Yams is showing more of the Jägerists perspective. I don't agree with it, but it's nice that Isayama tries to show different point of views

- Damn Levi, when are you finally going to talk again lmao I want to hear your thoughts!

- Falco remembering Porco is another fav moment of mine because I love Porco and miss him. When is Pieck finally mentioning him though?

- Connie saving Annie and Reiner's ass. He wanted to "repay this debt of being saved by them" since season 1 and 2, so it's nice Isayama hasn't forgotten about it

- Connie used to be too much comic relief, but he becomes a deeper character chapter by chapter and I like that!

- Jean and Mikasa calling Annie and Reiner friends and saving them too? Wtf. I fcking love it!

- Falco's jaw looks really cool and creative, but nothing beats Porco's titan look! I wonder: Is there any special connection to Zeke's beast (other than the fur) because Falco became a titan by Zeke's spinal fluid?

- Did Floch really think he could destroy that ship with one thunderspear? LMAO

- Gabi shooting Floch was unexpected, but damn, this girl is something else

- But I don't believe Floch is dead because dying by one simple shot of Gabi, a person he doesn't know, would be really underwhelming for a character like Floch. It would be like Arya killing the Night King which was a bad choice

- I was afraid of Pieck because she got attacked by Falco, but in terms of story telling it's nice Isayama stayed consistent to the fact that first titan transformations are usually risky since the shifters lose control

- Is it just me or was the 'Magath cuts out Falco' scene a bit rushed?

- Page 38 is my fav. I love how the Survey Corps are supporting the warriors. I totally support the alliance and them getting closer again. It will take time of course because it's not easy to forgive old fights, but I want it to happen and it seems like Isayama is heading that way

- I feel like Floch managed to sneak on the ship...

- Magath is the MaGOATh for staying behind to secure their escape. This man had amazing development

- Shadis and Magath meeting is something I wanted for so long and it's awesome it finally happened even if it didn't last long...

- I understand Isayama can't include everything in 45 pages, but I wish we saw how Keith sabotaged the train

- Keith told his students to join the Jägerists and now killing them is a bit meh, but I understand his choice because genocide is madness

- Such a touching moment of Shadis and Magath talking about their students and Magath wanting a happy life for the warrior kids. They are definitely the characters of this month

- But was it really necessary for both of them to die? I guess both are a bit suicidal in the end, just like a lot of snk characters lol

- Shadis arc ended well imo. He didn't die as bystander, but as hero, just too bad no one knows beside Magath who died too

- I'm happy about Magath's development too, but... As high ranked Marleyan general who got rid of his nationalism he would have been a key figure in making peace between the nations. Now that he's gone it will be way more difficult and maybe not possible at all

- My rank: 7/10. It was a good chapter, but nothing special. Magath's and Shadis' sacrifice was a bit rushed imo, but it was beautifully made

- I like Armin, but I feel like if he didn't pull off his talk and deceive plan at the port (which obviously failed) Magath and Shadis still could have been alive. I wonder what he thinks about talking to Eren now or if he considers killing him

- Next chapter hopefully more dialogue and warrior focus. Also Bert talk when since his death was never mentioned again? Marco got his resolve in 127, now it's Bert's turn!

- I'm afraid Floch is going to kill someone next chapter, wtf are you planning with him Isayama?

- I feel like the Survey Corps are more and more understanding the warriors which is really nice because I like both

- What the fck are Historia, Zeke and Eren doing!?

- Personally I'm not sure about those 5% remaining story. I hope Isayama didn't really calculate and stated a number without giving too much thought because I think finishing this masterpiece story in 6 or so chapters could be really difficult without rushing it. I say at least 10 more chapters
