Why do you like levi ackerman?

ooof ANON u really go for the heavy hitting questions! 

ok I think this requires a long answer that I will post below, but the short answer would be that...he’s just so real to me? His struggles, his feelings and his character just seems so real and believable and his experiences are just so painfully human. I really just want to see him happy, and also - I just always seem to fall for the dark handsome mysterious broody types (;

long answer below: 

So I had a similar experience that @anlian-aishang has spoken about on her blog. I had this identity as a high schooler - I was in the orchestra, I got good grades, I had a good friend group etc. And then I got into anime. I had always watched before (like sailor moon and Pokemon and stuff) but I REALLY got into it during high school. I went to anime conventions, made merch with my friends, and went out with my friends when they had cosplay photoshoots.

Then suddenly at one point, I felt so...overwhelmed with this...shame and anxiety at what I liked and I felt a lot of issues with associating with my perfectly good friend group, so I cut out all anime from my life. 

By the time I got back into anime and got over my self esteem and shame issues, attack on titan was one of my first animes that I re-watched. And this kind of echos what I said above, but there is something just so painfully depicts the human experience in Levi’s character. 

The way he is, the way he came into the world, the way he chose to trust and open his heart to love, only to have his friends and family get torn from him time and time again, yet he manages to find the ability to keep going and pushing on is just so powerful to me? 

I didnt really like Levi the first time I watched the show - I was like wow...what is up with this person why are ppl freaking out about him? (blasphemy I know) but then he just grew on me more and more and now look at me LOL

I also fixate on voices. I trained as a classical violinist so sound and voices have always been something I am weirdly...attuned to? (its not that cool pls dont think im bragging here AHH I could never) I got absolutely OBSESSED with Levi’s VA and could always seek him out in animes. So now its like...another source of my obsession with his character - his voice. 

So this became some sort of weird trainwreck of my thoughts - but thats basically my essay as to why I love the man LOL. he makes me feel human, he makes me feel real, he makes my problems feel real while at the same time making them seem small in the grand scheme of things. 

His voice makes me swoon bc I love his VA, and...he is just a hella good looking man with the ability to crush me and OOF I love that.
