#Mikasa deserved better

My girl Mikasa deserved better

[your-lavender-dreams]

Chapter 33 Mikasa: blames herself for Levi’s injury and wants to be more responsible

Oh, I sense some character development…

Chapter 57 Mikasa: acknowledges Levi’s authority and even encourages others to follow his orders

Hm, she was always ready to rebel against authorities… so we truly see her growing up, cool!

Chapter 84 Mikasa: has the chance to use power (as she would usually do) against Levi to save her best friend, but instead decides to talk to him

Wow, definitely some character development!

S4 Mikasa: Ereh, Ereh, Ereh

Aaaalright… well, she was always concerned about him

Chapter 118 Mikasa: leaves her scarf

Could that mean… that she’s finally moving on from being blindly devoted to him? It’s a HUGE CHARACTER…

Chapter 126 Mikasa: takes the scarf back

Oh, fuck you all

P.S. Mikasa’s character does develop with Levi’s help, so I guess if he just threw that scarf away, it would work 😄

Literally just ranted to my partner over dinner about the 180 Mikasa’s character development did in S4.

In summary: I’ll die mad about it.

Thinking about ema between the time skip

They (Armin & Mikasa) want him (Eren) to stay but they don't want him to run further because of their pursuit

He pushes them back when they try to push against him, there's no stopping it, they know it's inevitable, but it's still agonizing when it happens

It's the pattern, it's his nature he refuses to contest, it's what they hoped he would

Part 2 of me being sad AOT has ended and drawing stuff to help me recover

[aflockofravens]

Holy fuck I just finished Attack on Titan and Jesus Christ did Mikasa get the short end of the stick

[guli-plum]

I wanted to convey in this short video all the charm, tenderness, love and comfort of post-war Rivamika.

I think they deserved such a final. Together.

I want to express my special gratitude to @achiepy @antermarisart @indymbras @ebgr_ (twitter) and @pengyinxue (twitter) for such amazing RM arts that inspired me to make this video full of love and peace 💚💙

I’ll never forget when Gabi killed Eren, the first person he saw was a nine year old Mikasa.

This suggests he loved her from the beginning—maybe from the moment they met.

Some Eremikas need to realize that not all anti Eremikas are not anti Mikasa. In fact I am anti Eremika because I think both Eren and Mikasa deserve better.

"Why is Jean your favorite character?"

Me : Oh, I just love his character development! He grew up so much over the years. Truly a good leader and a good friend.

"Oh, that's a nice answer! Now be honest - why do you actually like Jean?"

Me : ... Because I love Mikasa. But Mikasa will never love me, or Jean for that matter. Not in the way we want. Not in the way we do love her. And we would both kill for her to look at us the way she looks at Eren. To be in Eren's place, if only for a moment. Because, at the end of the day, we are never the first option. We will never be the first option. But is alright, as long as we get to be in her life.

Just rewatched Episode 7 from Season 1, and OMG, how good it feels to get back to those times when Mikasa’s character was written as an independent one, with her own history, fears and thoughts not just about Eren.

She finds out that Eren is presumed dead and still manages to calm Armin down.

She motivates dozens of cadets to keep fighting.

She realizes that she has once again lost her family.

She sees now that the world has always been like this - if you’re weak, you die.

She wants to give up, but something inside her doesn’t let her do it, so even in the totally hopeless situation, she refuses to die.

She wants to keep fighting as long as she can, to live as long as she can to remember Eren.

And all of this in one episode, wow!

And yes, it all still develops around Eren’s phrase "Fight", but it develops around how SHE perceives his words and how they INFLUENCE and DRIVE her, not form her entire being. Because she is a stand-alone character that can still exist without Eren.

Some people said that Mikasa from Season 4 acted like that because of a childhood trauma, because one day, Eren became her new family, and now she is fixed on the idea that she should be with him, protect him and be on his side no matter what. Her life stopped when she saw the death of her parents, and now all she can see is Eren. And that’s why even in the darkest hours, she was still thinking only of him.

But why 15-year old Mikasa could overcome this, ALONE, when everyone else around her was panicking? She heard that Eren was dead and still understood that it wasn’t the time for crying, and her fears and desires didn’t matter right now. They needed to keep fighting titans.

But 19-year old Mikasa, far more experienced and mature, couldn’t pull herself together and say or think of anything besides Ereh Ereh. Even after the Rumbling had started and the Colossal Titans were going to turn the whole fucking world into nothing 🙄🙄

[Eren, Armin & Mikasa, circa 845]

Eren: Tell him off, Armin! Assert yourself!

Armin: T-that's my bread!

Mikasa: Great, now let them have it.

Armin: You can have it!
