#ch: ymir

[bourgeoning]

another day, another social event on the world stage. time that could be used for actual work, instead spent twirling on the dance floor and marveling at shining baubles. it turns suzume's stomach. but she is nothing without paying careful attention to her obligations. fulfilling each and every one. as she approaches the nearest table of foodstuffs, manicured fingernails clink against her glass. she swirls the sherry, letting the aroma waft into her nose before taking a minuscule sip. "the banderillas are best to start with. they are much lighter than the other hors d'oeuvres," she advises @classiqals @flcralhaze @ymir-heart. if idle chatter is required of her, then so be it.

FX-991 Love// CH. 5

Summary: While playing with your sister’s kids you suddenly remember you have an assignment due in less than 2 hours, and you’re in desperate need of a calculator so you borrow one from your sister’s hot neighbor. From there, unexpected romance blossoms.

Warnings: fem!reader, they/them pronouns for Hange, dirty talk, making out.

ch. 1 ch.2 ch.3 ch.4

Unfortunately you don’t see Hange on Thursday. So naturally your Friday doesn’t feel the best, besides the fact that you have a study group meeting as it was postponed at the start of the week. Annie and Historia both look like corpses by the time your two hour Physical Chemistry lecture 416 finishes. You know you look equally dead, if not more.

“Do we have time to get coffee before the meeting or no?” you ask, the running water from the faucet almost washing your voice out along with Historia loudly hustling her things inside her beige tote bag.

“Not really, Armin is already waiting there.” Annie answers, looking up from her phone then sighs exasperatedly at Historia. “What the hell are you looking for?”

“My phone!” Historia answers with a whine, “I completely forgot to tell Ymir we have a study group meeting, and very stupidly double booked myself.”

“It’s in your pocket.”

“Your pocket.”

You and Annie answer at the same time. Historia lets out a noise of recognition before she slips out her phone and unlocks it, the typing noise of her phone is louder when you turn off the faucet and snatch a few tissues to dry your hands.

“Oh right, any update with you and your hot neighbor?” Annie asks as you three leave the restroom. You sigh and shake your head, “I told them I can’t see them today, and I didn't see them yesterday either. But we’ve been texting a lot so that is good.”

Annie nods, “It’s okay, you will see them on the weekend.”

“I have to, I desperately need to. I miss them so much.” You say, holding tightly onto the strap of your black tote bag as you rush down the long stairs and finally exiting the chemistry department.

“I would say that you need to tone it down, and play some mind games and all. But, Hange seems like a nice person and their communication skills are top notch, so just tell them you miss them or something.” Annie advises, you grin at her as you link your arm with her.

“I agree with Annie, just let them know how you feel,” Historia says, “also can I just say your relationship is so refreshing? You and Hange are super cute.” she sing-songs the last two words as you feel your face turn hot.

“Wait, we’re meeting at the big library?” Historia suddenly asks, you and Annie hum in agreement at her question. “Let me tell Ymir so she can come, haven’t seen her all morning since I left.”

Once you three exit the science building, you look up at the setting sun and comment, “it’s the evening already? Jesus christ.”

Annie chuckles as Historia snorts. “We’ve been here since eight in the morning, and now in two hours it will officially be twelve hours we spent on campus.” Historia says, Annie opens her mouth to speak but your phone interrupts her, you unlink your arm from hers as you shuffle through your tote bag to find your phone.

When you take it out, both Historia and Annie look at the name flashing on your screen before they exchange looks and wiggle their eyebrows at you.

Your face heats up as you answer the call, and bring your phone to your ear.

“Hi baby,” you greet, feeling your lips stretch in a smile uncontrollably.

“Hi pretty, I missed you like crazy today.” Hange says. Historia leans her ear close to your phone so she can hear, while Annie is laughing and directing you two to the walk to the big library and making sure you don’t trip or bump into anyone.

“I missed you too, how was your day?”

“Like the usual, I’m just excited for tonight, I—”

“Hold on sweetie, the world’s noseiest girl is listening just let me—” then you stop talking to turn and push Historia that is laughing and giggling uncontrollably. You roll your eyes at her as you precede her and Annie to comfortably talk to Hange.

“You were saying?” you ask.

“My plans with Levi, I’m pretty excited about them. So far the plan is to go to a bar and meet up with a few old friends from college.”

“That seems fun, who’s going to be there?” you ask, knowing you are just going to stalk them all later when you go back home to make sure Hange doesn’t have any history with any of the women in the group, if there were to begin with.

“Levi, and his boyfriend Erwin, I told you about him,” you hum in agreement at Hange’s words, “yeah you did, who else?”

“A friend named Mike, he took most of Levi’s classes so that’s how I got to meet him. Moblit and Marlene, they were in my major. It’s been a while since I met them all.”

Your heart drops at the mention of a woman, and you try to play it casually despite your body temperature increasing despite walking into the main library's cold interior.

“Moblit and Marlene were in your major, tell me more about them.”

Annie gestures to the third floor, so you walk to the elevator and click on the button. Annie and Historia stare at your rigid features as you cross your arms over your chest.

“There really isn’t much to be said about them, we don’t even work in the same field. Moblit is a teacher and Marlene is a clinical physicist.” Hange says, when the elevator doors open you enter along with your friends as Annie clicks on the number three button.

“That seems pretty nice.” You answer.

Hange asks you a question, but it cuts as you’re in the elevator, though their voice comes back again when you reach the third floor, “-- so where are you right now and what are you planning to do later? I remember you told me you have a study group tonight.”

You hum in agreement, “well, me and the girls are in the big library to meet up with the rest of the group, it’s just two of our friends who study chemical engineering and we take almost the same subjects as them so…” you trail when you reach the booked meeting room. “It’s room three two five right?” you direct your question to Annie as you remove your phone away from your ear for a little.

“I feel like I should just go home, I’m seriously in desperate need of many things right now.”

Annie and Historia flash you smiles and enter first, you linger by the door to finish up your call with Hange.

“Okay, and what do you desperately need right now?” you laugh at Hange’s question as you look at the floor and stare at the untied shoelaces of your converse shoes.

“Coffee, with a triple shot of espresso and oat milk, oh and vanilla syrup oh and a jacket because I just know this library air conditioning is going to be the death of me, and food and you. I wanna see you so bad.”

“You will, sweetheart!”

“But seriously, don’t even think about me tonight, you enjoy your Friday to the fullest and then report back to me tomorrow morning how fun it was.”

“First I will not noth think about you tonight, it is literally impossible since I was thinking about you all day,” you feel your face growing hot at that, “and second, I will talk to you whenever I can, which is every hour or thirty minutes during the outing.”

When Jean angrily knocks on the glass of the door, you know you need to get inside the room. You wave at him to calm down, then tell Hange, “baby, I need to go, I will talk to you later.”

“Okay sweetie, see you later.”

You end the call and enter the meeting room, “hello Amin, hey Jean.” you greet, and place your things next to Annie.

“I hope I’m not the only one that completely felt like a dumbass in today’s physical chem lecture.” Jean says while Armin acknowledges you with a nod and a smile.

“No because me too, and the professor is so condescending too like when that girl asked him a question he keeps referring to physics one content—” she gets cut by Jean that slaps his palm on the table and complains, “I don’t fucking remember anything from physics one!”

“What about you Armin, did you think it was difficult?” you ask, taking out your laptop from your tote bag and pushing the screen open. The blond looks at Jean and Historia in worry before he answers with a mutter, “I actually quite enjoyed the lecture today—”

“Oh my god, there he goes!” Jean loudly interrupted. Historia only glared at Armin coldly then said, “you piss me off so much.”

“What did I do? The lecture was entertaining and the concepts were just things we learned in physics but are elevated.” Armin tries to defend himself. Jean and Historia just shake their heads at him.

“But when you think about it, Armin doesn’t really enjoy organic chem, he likes calculating and all that so.” You try to defend him back, Historia sighs and flips open her giant physical chemistry textbook.

“Thank you! Finally someone understands my dilemma!” Armin says while pointing at you.

“I actually don’t particularly understand you, what do you mean you don’t like organic? It’s literally the—”

“The easiest branch in chemistry.” Annie and Jean mock you as Historia giggles. You roll your eyes at them, and open your mouth to speak but you’re interrupted by the knocking on the door.

You are sat on a side that doesn’t allow you to see who’s behind the glass, neither is Annie but Historia can. Her face blanches as she turns to stare at you.

The questions you and Annie had for Historia are answered when Hitch walks into the meeting room. She doesn’t seem that much fazed by your presence as you are by hers, which truly bothers you.

“Hitch, you’re finally here.” Jean says, then he says to you all, “I’m sure you all already know who Hitch is, but she got a full mark on the last physical chem quiz so I invited her to teach us.”

“Us?” Annie repeats in surprise, “speak for yourself, sugar tits, I got a full mark too.”

“You and Armin piss me off, seriously.” Historia says as she frowns. Hitch grins and greets you all, “Hi everyone, I hope I’m not imposing.” Then her eyes land on you.

You’re broken out of your trance, and you truly have to remind yourself that you don’t care about her anymore or whatever happened between you two. It was ages ago, and before you met Hange who is truly the love of your life.

Now it may be quick to admit that, but Hange holds a special place in your life and heart.

“Hey Hitch, no you’re okay.” You tell as you smile, then you pull your black tote bag that managed to slip towards the middle and almost the far right of the table. She mutters a thank you, then starts taking out her things.

“So, it goes without a saying we’re gonna start with physical chem today.” Jean says, you and Annie exchange looks as you giggle.

With that, you all turn to stare at Hitch who walks to the rolling whiteboard and picks up a white board marker and turns to look at you all.

“Okay you idiots, first thing first we’re gonna go back to physics one basics and talk a little about the laws of thermodynamics.” As she says that you hear a sigh from Jean and Historia.

—

Not even an hour passes, but your brain is already fried from the amount of equations you had to solve. They humbled you truly, especially when you showed Annie your answer to a question and she had to sigh and point out that you forgot to put a few conversion factors in mind.

You’re not only tired, but you’re a little pissed at your lack of understanding physical chemistry.

Were you born stupid or did you not work hard enough for it? You had no idea, but a series of wrong answers got you holding your head and shivering in your seat despite wearing Annie’s thin cardigan.

“Can we please take a break? I cannot do this anymore, I seriously cannot.” Historia says, resting her head on the table then turning to hit her head on the wooden surface of the table.

“Hiso, don’t do this you’re just going to make yourself dumber than you are—”

“Jean I’m really not in the mood for your stupid jokes, I’m cold and I’m hungry and I need coffee and I want to see my girlfriend and I want to sleep for a million years, so, shut up!” she screams the last two words at Jean.

He raises his palms up defensively, “I was just saying!”

Annie leans across the table and slaps his head, “don’t piss her off, we’ve been here on campus since eight am.”

“Shit, and I just know you idiots were surviving on a cup of iced coffee and a croissant.” Jean says.

“How could you tell?” you ask, then pick up your phone and realize you have had it on Do Not Disturb for a while now.

Jean lays his head on his palm as he watches you. “Well, you three are easily irritable today. I could blame it on the fact that you’ve been here since eight in the morning but, I’ve seen you energetic when running on two hours of sleep.”

Completely ignoring the side conversations as you read the notifications on your phone. A few from your sister and brothers sharing pictures of the family gathering on the family group chat. Then to your sister privately texting you asking you if you took her new white shirt, as you were clad in said shirt.

Finally to a few missed calls of Hange. With a frown, you stand up and call them back as you leave the meeting room.

“Hi sweetie,” Hange greets.

“Hey, my phone was on silent but is everything okay? You called a few times.” You say, playing with the hem of Annie’s cardigan.

“Yeah baby everything is okay, I just wanted to ask you what room you are in the library.” Hange asked. You blinked in shock as you asked, “you’re here?”

“Well yes, I told you I was coming.” Hange answered like it was an obvious thing.

“You did?” you asked in shock, then headed to the metal railing as you stared down at the floors below hoping you would catch sight of Hange.

“Yes baby, I even asked you where you were and you told me the library.” Comes Hange’s answer.

Oh, right when their voices cut while you were in the elevator. “Am I coming at a bad time?” They ask again, unsure.

“No no no, absolutely not, I’m just surprised. That’s all. Oh right, where are you exactly?” you answer, feeling your heart fluttering with excitement at the thought of seeing Hange.

“Well, I remember you mentioned something about room three two five so I’m guessing it's the third floor.”

“Yeah, I’m actually right by the door of the room so—”

“Oh! I think I see you—” you turn around to your left at that, then to your right. Your heart soars with joy when you make eye contact with a smiling Hange. Without wasting a single second you run in their direction as you try your best to quieten your squeals.

You almost jump into their arms, but the sight of the coffee cups and bags they’re holding makes you slow down. Seeing you approaching, they set them on the floor so you run to their arms and embrace them tightly.

“I missed you so much!” you hiss into their ear, as Hange laughs.

Breaking the hug, and not really caring if there are students around, you press kisses all over their face.

“I missed you more, and you look so pretty, is that a new shirt?” Hange notes, holding into the fabric of your shirt. You giggle and admit, “it actually belongs to Fei, I stole it from her.”

“Well she should give it to you, it looks like it was made for you.” Hange says, leaning down and picking up the coffee cups they left on the floor, along with the plastic bags. Hange hands you a labeled coffee, “for you, pretty girl, exactly like how you like it.”

You take the warm coffee cup, then press another kiss to Hange’s cheek as you giggle, “thank you, baby, I appreciate it.”

“Is that your jacket? It’s pretty thin.” Hange comments. Shaking your head as you sip your coffee, “It’s Annie’s.”

“Well, I got you a hoodie because you said you were cold, and some food because you said you were hungry.” Hange says, then gives you the hoodie they were holding. You gladly take it, and kiss them again on their cheek. “You are perfect.” you whisper against their face, then pull away.

“Thanks baby, and just know that you are never going to see this hoodie ever again.” You say, giving Hange your cup to hold it as you take off Annie’s cardigan and slip on the thick black hoodie.

“You got extra coffee for who?” You ask, noting the extra cups.

“Your friends, food too.” They lift the plastic bags.

“Hange you are literally the best.” You say, wrapping your arm around their biceps and resting your head on their side arm. “Do I get a kiss for that too?” Hange asks.

You giggle, and lean to kiss Hange on their cheek once again. “Right, let’s drop off this coffee and food for them and then let’s take a walk together.” You say, then pull Hange to the designated room.

Historia, and Hitch are the first to notice you lingering with Hange by the glass panel on the door. Then you push the door open, “Hange got us coffee and food!”

Jean and Historia cheer in joy as Armin laughs. Annie grins and greets Hange, “Hi, Hange.”

“Hey Annie.” Hange greets back.

You quickly introduce everyone to Hange, and vice versa while distributing the coffee.

“This is Armin and Jean, they’re the ones who major in chemical engineering like I told you—”

Jean cuts you, “and also her friends.” You shrug your shoulders, “unfortunately we are friends.”

Then you hand Hitch her coffee, “this is Hitch, she was Annie’s roommate and she’s also in our major.” Hitch accepts the cup with a polite smile and a nod.

“Right, I think we deserve a break.” You tell everyone as Historia nods, “Yeah, and Ymir is coming in a few so we really do need a break.”

“Alright then, we continue studying after five minutes?” Jean asks, you roll your eyes as you scoff, “make it thirty, princess.”

Jean sighs and he opens his mouth to speak, possibly to argue but Armin motions for you to leave fast as he urges, “you go, we’ll regroup in thirty minutes—I want a break too, I’m sick and tired already.”

You giggle then pull Hange behind with you, but not without Historia shouting behind you, “and remember kids, the best make out spot is behind the dictionaries—” she is cut by a smack and you don’t have to look behind to know who it was, just knowing deep in your heart it is Annie.

When you exit the room, and walk down the hall, you tell Hange, “I’m sorry, they thrive on teasing me.”

“It’s fine,” Hange says with a chuckle, then intertwines their fingers with yours, “we should’ve stayed a bit longer to hear what spot she’s talking about.”

Unable to stop your giggle and your face turning hot, you glance at Hange to find them already looking at you. “That’s all you care about?”

“No, but it’s definitely something I want.”

“Whatever…” you say dragging your R’s and rolling your eyes, unable to find a witty response to Hange’s flirtation. They laugh, then bring your hand up to their lips to press a kiss on the back of your hand and wrist, a shiver runs down your spine as your heart accelerates.

“You are so cute, you know that?” is what they say.

Your heart can’t take it anymore, so you change the topic as your face grows unbearably hot. “Right, you told me you had plans with your friends—what happened to that?”

Hange allows you to steer the conversation, though their smirk at making you reach this stage of shyness exposes their giddiness.

“Levi is driving tonight—he doesn’t drink, so Erwin and I are meeting him up here because he finishes work pretty late. And I decided to just come here to see you, instead of waiting at home and having him pick me up.”

“Oh right, I think he has the general chemistry lab for first years, and it starts pretty late and that’s without counting the hour he has to stay after to help clean up and grade quizzes.” You say, bringing Hange outside to the third floor secret balcony.

Hange steps out after you, taking in the view and nodding appreciatively. “Wow, this is perfect. How did you find this place?”

“Boring story, but I was studying for my first midterm ever here and found it while I was walking around and looking for the vending machine.” You join them at the railing, and as the breeze rustles through your hair, you feel Hange’s arm slip around your waist. “You have no idea how much I missed you,” they murmur, turning their head to look at you.

You smile up at them, feeling the warmth of their body close to yours. “I missed you too.” Hange pulls you in a little closer, their knuckles brushing lightly over your cheek. “You know,” they begin, their voice soft and teasing, “I don’t think I’ll be able to focus on my plans tonight. I can’t stop thinking about you.”

You laugh lightly, leaning into their touch. “I don’t think I will be able to focus on studying either.” They grin, then pull you into a kiss, slow and gentle, the world fading away around you as the kiss deepens. The peaceful atmosphere of the balcony only makes the moment feel more intimate.

When the kiss breaks, Hange rests their forehead against yours and smiling softly.

“Right, when are you free for another date?” Hange asks, pulling you to sit on the metal bench, it’s cold against your thighs so you scoot impossibly close to Hange, while still holding onto their bicep and holding your coffee with your other hand and sipping on it, it does the job of warming you up perfectly.

“I definitely will make some time tomorrow, my sister is hosting lunch at her place in celebration of mom’s birthday,” you say and take another sip of your coffee, “so I can definitely sneak to you, or even tell them I have plans and just go to your place, or we can even go out,”

“Oh yeah, your nephew—the older one, told me about that.” Hange comments, you have to stop yourself from giggling as you shake your head, “Kai is really out here telling you things before I can, this is like the second time he did that.”

“Yeah,” Hange chuckles, bringing your free hand and kissing your wrist then resting it against their own to warm it. “He did tell me about you babysitting them last wednesday, and you not really being a good cook but still being a cool aunt.”

“Kai is out here to get me,” you say then sigh, you place your coffee on the bench and take out your phone from your pocket—refusing to let go of Hange’s hand. “Right, tonight they had a family dinner at my eldest brother’s home and they’re all sharing pictures.”

Hange leans close to see your phone clearer, it allows you to take whiffs of their delicious cologne along with their natural scent. The effect it has on you is visceral, and you embarrassingly find yourself growing wet.

“This is the oldest one right?” Hange points at someone on your screen, and it takes a second to load inside your head but you hum in agreement nonetheless. Too distracted by your desire to sit on their lap, rock your hips front and back as you kiss their neck and play with their hair.

When you look at who they’re pointing to, you are glad that the answer you gave wasn’t wrong despite your mind being too preoccupied. It doesn’t even help that flashbacks of that night with Hange keeps showing up in ultra quality at the front of your mind.

Hange is too busy swiping at the photos and commenting here and there, while you are basically eating them with your eyes. They look effortlessly good in a simple black on black outfit and a light unbuttoned denim flannel. You don’t know what it is, or if there’s even reasoning to this feral need you have for Hange but even the watch on their wrist, and their sitting position makes you unbelievably horny.

It’s not the time nor place for that, and you should feel ashamed but you don’t really find any care for now. Especially when you haven’t seen Hange in a while, and you know that it’s a secret place so not many people would stumble here.

Even if they did, you probably wouldn’t see them ever again.

Armored by bravery because of the last reasoning, you unlink your arm with hange and before they could protest you wrap your arms around their neck and bring them down to kiss you, as your legs dangle over their own.

Surprised, but not complaining they pull you to sit on their lap as your kisses travel down their neck, and their hands instinctively grip your waist, pulling you closer. You feel the warmth of their skin beneath your fingertips, and the faint scent of their cologne mixed with something uniquely them sends a shiver down your spine. Hange lets out a soft chuckle, a teasing edge in their voice.

“Well, aren’t you bold today?” they murmur, their breath warm against your ear, making your pulse race even faster. Their hands start to roam, fingers pressing into your sides, and you can feel their breath quickening as they respond to your touch.

You pull back slightly, enough to meet their gaze, eyes clouded with desire and mischief. “You can’t just show up looking like this and expect me to behave.” you say, your nails scratching their scalp and then pulling gently on their hair strands as your body temperature grows hotter.

“Oh yeah? I will look like this more then.”

Moving your hips against Hange’s as their right hand spreads out and travels down your back to take a handful of your ass against your flared jeans. They then pull your curls, making you let out a gasp as your head is pulled to the back and giving them good access to your neck.

Hange kisses your neck and whispers, “fuck I missed hearing you and tasting you.”

They kiss first, then suck and bite on the sensitive batches of your skin, and you can’t help but moan softly. The last thing on your mind is that the shirt you are wearing shows your neck, and you are doomed to get teased endlessly by your friends.

Nothing in this world could’ve pulled you away from each other, even when the distinctive creak of the balcony door opening you find your reactions slow and not really caring if anyone saw you two making out. Neither does Hange, seeing they’re still leaving strawberry kisses there.

You creak one eye open, then with all the strength and force you could muster you push Hange away as you look at who entered the balcony. Though by that time, the intruder had already left.

Knowing that the logical thing for now is to use the mild interruption as a way to stop making out, because if you don’t stop you are anxious that in the heat of your desire you might want to escalate things out in public. You pull away from Hange, as they whine in protest, “why?”

“We must, I have to study and you have plans and if we don’t stop now who knows what might happen,” you say with a sigh, also struggling hard to now continue back to what you started.

“You are a tease, you know that?”

“Baby, I don’t mean to be a tease,” you say, pressing a kiss to Hange’s lips and then standing up as you pull them up with you—and definitely not forgetting your coffee that is on the verge of turning lukewarm.

“I can cancel you know,” Hange suggests, but you shake your head. “No, honey. You haven’t seen your friends in a while, plus I gotta study anyways.”

Your ego is inflated as just a short make out session that you started has this effect on Hange. Willing to cancel a night out with their friends, and even wanting to come over to your place after a long day and a long night.

Pulling Hange towards the door, it creaks open again and you pull them inside to the brightly lit corridors of the library.

“But…I’ll see you tomorrow, right?” They ask, intertwining your fingers.

“Yeah baby, I’ll see you tomorrow, anything you feel like doing tomorrow?” you ask, walking down the many halls to reach the meeting room.

Hange’s voice is unwillingly loud in the middle of the quiet corridor, “besides fucking you? No, not really—” you turn to look at Hange with a scandalized stare, as their shoulders shake with a chuckle at your response.

You roll your eyes and shake your head, “whatever, you have fun on your night. Text me when you get home safe, okay?”

Hange obediently nods, “okay, sweetie.” Then cups your face with their free hand to kiss you just right when you reach the meeting room.

It’s a struggle to let go of their hand, and go back to studying. But when it happens you feel frustration growing in your chest, and just wished that you could spend the whole night with Hange instead of studying.

“See you tomorrow?” Hange affirms one last time, and you grin and nod, “see you tomorrow.” They wait for you to enter the meeting room, and when you do, you notice the eerie silence from all your friends.

Though the mischievous smiles from them kind of concern you. It was very easy to connect the dots, especially seeing Armin’s red ears and so you ask with a sigh, “so which one of you guys was the intruder?”

Ymir and Historia start, “(Y/N) and Hange sitting on a tree—” feeling your face growing unbearably hot, you don’t waste a second to toss Annie’s pencil case right at them to stop them.

IM BACK WITH MORE HEADCANONS

What the 104th Cadet Corps keeps for pets (or not)

(Plus bonus Porco and Pieck)

Eren: Unfortunately developed SEVERE allergies to anything with dander when he was younger, to the point where if he visits a friend with a pet, they have to put them in a separate room and vacuum and disinfect before he comes over. Yes he still aggressively loves dogs, yes he feels terrible about it. Mikasa started getting him plants so he feels like he still gets to care for a creature and he gets wildly protective over his carnivorous plants (they all have names and his favorite is his pitcher plant named Lucifer). Tried a cockatiel but it was WAY too loud and messy for him so he re-homed it to Hange.

Mikasa: Mikasa is a plant mom through and through. Since Eren is allergic to pets, she decides that the only logical response to that predicament is to turn their apartment into a jungle. They have over 50 plants and her favorite is her variegated Thai Constellation monstera that she’s raised for eight years and is taller than Eren. It’s her prized possession and her name is Artemis. Worth several hundred dollars. One may gently caress her leaves in appreciation.

Armin: LOVES animals and happily rescues them off the streets to send to the humane society. He started with a lazy tuxedo cat named Binx but recently got very into fish keeping and has a half-moon betta named Leo. Freaks out when Mikasa gifts him a plant without researching if it’s toxic to pets (it never is and she knows this)

Annie: Didn’t originally like pets because she never had any as a kid but Binx grew on her and now they’re inseparable. One can find her constantly grooming him and complimenting his dashing formalwear. Lets him sleep in the bed with her.

Reiner: GUINEA PIGS!!!! He has a pair of piggies named Bonnie and Clyde and he lets them crawl on top of him when he’s home alone. He likes how quiet and cuddly they are with him and they give him something to love and take care of, as well as a sense of uniqueness because they’re a bit less common than dogs or cats and guests love to meet them. Mikasa is obsessed with them and Eren fights his allergies like his life depends on it to be around them.

Bertholdt: Has a poodle named Pixie that serves as his emotional support pet. She’s very quiet and friendly and everyone teases Bert because Pixie looks just as lanky as he does. Jean mentions that the rumors are true that pet owners look like their pets and Bert fully agrees. Pixie loves the park and knows a ton of tricks. She can play tug of war like nobody’s business and weirdly always smells like lavender.

Historia: Has a bunny that Ymir tolerates. The bunny doesn’t care to be handled and so Historia prefers to tell people “Stella prefers to be observed and worshipped.” She emphasizes her disdain for people who get bunnies as Easter gifts. Likes dogs and would like a Border Collie someday but doesn’t want Stella to feel replaced or be in any danger.

Ymir: Does not have pets. Doesn’t really like pets because the commitment is exhausting. Cannot keep plants alive if the world depended on it after Mikasa tried several times with beginner-level plants. OCCASIONALLY cleans Stella’s cage when Historia is busy but generally leaves her to do it because she’s so particular. Would never admit that she does enjoy the sound of Stella eating hay every once in a while.

Marco: Used to have a mutt as a kid but it passed away and he had a really hard time dealing with it and hasn’t had any desire to get another dog. Has a little gerbil though named Herbie and he lets him run around on his stuff in his bedroom.

Jean: Has a Blue Heeler named Max that he would take a bullet for. Takes Max to the park to play with Pixie and swore up and down that he didn’t like cats until this pitiful little tuxedo-tabby kitten showed up in the dumpster behind his apartment that melted his heart within seconds. He named her Bojangle (Boji for short) because he found her eating scraps of chicken out of a Bojangle’s takeout container. Boji and Max became inseparable after a couple of months and sleep together in the living room on a heated pet bed.

Connie: Has a bearded dragon named Drogon, a Ball Python named Jörmugand, and a Tarantula named Shelob. Everyone likes the lizard and snake but everyone’s scared of Shelob, even Pieck is only comfortable watching her through her enclosure. Connie always asks if people want to feed Drogon his mealworms and Sasha, though she participates, told Connie that he CANNOT be buying roaches for the thing and that mealworms and crickets are objectively less disgusting.

Sasha: Has an ancient Cavalier in her apartment named Cookie and her parents have two horses, with her own pinto mare named Macaroni that she grew up riding. When Sasha and Jean and Connie come to visit the farm, Cookie and Max have the time of their lives bothering the horses, as well as the barn cat, Dolly, and her four kittens. Her parents also have a donkey, two goats, six chickens, three ducks, and a singular goose that tries and fails to fit in. Sasha’s got a whole petting zoo when she’s not living in the city and everyone swings by for the annual Fourth of July bonfire.

Pieck: Took Mikasa’s jungle inspiration to a new level and made a miniature terrarium of rare rainforest plants where she houses two White Tree Frogs named Cha-Cha and Bugs. Boji sits and watches the frogs all the time and likes to sniff them if Pieck takes them out of their enclosure. Max, however, was banned from getting anywhere near the tank.

Porco: Keeps a geriatric Labrador named Mollie that sleeps all day, is half-blind, and everyone is secretly wondering when she’ll cross the rainbow bridge because Porco is well into his 20’s now and that dog has been around since he was seven. He plays with her in the park and hypes her up like she just won the Purina dog show Fetch Competition even though it takes her four minutes to return the tennis ball he tossed twenty feet away.

dare i argue...

kenny has a very interesting, consistent morality that isn't all that aberrant compared to most of AoT's main cast.

he is our main source of ackerman lore, whose fallen status within the walls directly telegraphs the position of eldia in the larger world, so on closer inspection, kenny, levi, and mikasa are more than a bit analogous to grisha and the warriors. in kenny's case, i think most of the elder jaegers. hear me out:

my ongoing beef with the uprising arc anime adaptation includes this scene with kenny's grandfather. confoundingly, WIT cut significant length from grandpa's explanation about the ackermans' persecution at the hands of the MPs, but gave kenny a line that... is ghostwritten by zeke jaeger.

in the manga, kenny discouraged kuchel from carrying levi to term for reasons he doesn't verbalize (snk 65)

in the anime (aot 43), my subtitles say "I swear, ain't no point being born in a craphole world like this where there's not a single dream worth pursuing."

the dubbed line is "who'd want to be born into this piece of shit world anyway? there isn't a dream you could have worth suffering through it."

btw i think WIT giving kenny like, 5x more lines with the word "dream" is fucking cheesy and childish; i could see how this mindset is challenged immediately by carla in bystander, but does kenny have to be the one to say it? we get that from historia and alma and ymir already! plenty of characters express thoughts of regretting being born, but this and zeke's are particular to eldians and ackermans, not individuals

but what grandpa ackerman says about this "deal" between the ackerman patriarch and the crown echoes grisha and zeke's propaganda bedtime stories. the first generation born within the walls hoped that ignorance would spare future ackermans, and eldians left behind when the walls went up hoped compliance would save them from... paradise, conscription, what have you. historical omission and revision: neither fucking worked! that ackerman patriarch died pointlessly, every eldian sacrificed to marley's imperialism from foot soldiers in the trenches to the warriors and proto-warriors, ksaver's generation and older, died pointlessly.

much like the warriors, i don't think any of the above excuses or downplays kenny's wrongdoings, but contextualizes them:

he's a serial killer

as far as we know his Ripping was mostly MPs. as of this scene in ch. 65, the latest were lurking outside a dying old man's home, whether that means they monitored the eldest living ackerman closely, or they were there to jump kenny. point is, killing cops is uhhhhh cool. i don’t care he becomes one himself later. the old 2nd wave feminist adage of “the personal is political” applies to any gender, really, and we should all take police violence against vulnerable populations personally, so whether you frame kenny’s kill count before joining the MPs as self-defense or vengeance, there’s a net positive of fewer MPs terrorizing the streets of the interior and the underground.

he abandoned and/or abused levi

my guess is without his anime-only Zekeism™, kenny’s concern before levi's birth is more specific to kuchel’s circumstances, and also informs his abandonment:

raising a child would make kuchel’s life even more difficult;

the underground and moreover a brothel are no place to raise a child;

as his reaction to levi not knowing his last name goes, living as an ackerman is a curse unto itself (the zeke and ksaver conclusion), even if kenny’s relationship with uri has improved his circumstances;

my most charitable and extracanonical thought for this man is… i wonder what happened to his and kuchel’s own parents. how else do you lose track of your sister like this? did they feel abandoned themselves? did kenny already doubt kuchel would live long or be strong enough to protect a child (maternal mortality, which fellow MP nile dawk brings up in 108)? when he said “i’m not cut out to be some kid’s father,” did he also think that of kuchel? or did he think he also failed as an older brother—kenny and kuchel as grisha and faye...

we only get kenny’s POV of his time with levi, which lasts about five pages of chapter 69. my point is, levi whump revisionism tends to give him annie leonhart's canonical childhood, for which there is no evidence in chapter 69 or in bad boy.

of course, filling the blanks of kenny's pedagogy is grim, and popular fanon isn't unreasonable at all. there's no nonviolent way to teach violence, which kenny calls "the only tool he had" and likely thought of as the only thing he could offer levi. removing levi from the underground didn't seem to cross his mind, either, which could point to a pessimism that people kill people, above and below—the ackermans were wiped out on the surface, after all. but i actually find the understanding of their relationship to the royal family as feudal in the japanese sense helpful here: would bringing him along set levi's path for him, one in service to the reisses? cruel as it was, kenny guaranteed levi's freedom.

he's a cop

okay, this is where the manga gets a little ambiguous/inconsistent with chronology. when kenny gets the anti-personnel squad, he says he’s “never been part of the military before”—he’s actually following levi’s footsteps here, a criminal recruit far outclassing these graduates of the cadet corps. however, to historia, he identifies himself as part of the first interior squad in 845. the fuck?

what is more certain is after he meets uri and becomes his bodyguard 😏, he joins this "assembly" or "council" of nobles and wallists. "bodyguard" does not sound like a role in which kenny would wander the walls doing extrajudicial murder like sannes. when levi and hange interrogate sannes, he proudly lists his own resume (snk 55), which includes killing armin’s parents, erwin’s father, and historia’s mother (the 2nd worst thing to be in the walls is blond), so besides alma, kenny doesn't seem to be included in these panels of the first interior squad "bloodying [their] hands" for peace within the walls.

i think a reasonable conclusion is kenny joined the first interior squad after uri's death in 842, and this squad is so elusive as to be legendary to the average MP. there is probably some translation subtlety with "squad" and "section, " so my understanding is the anti-personnel squad is either part of the first interior squad, or an elite, separate but affiliated group much like levi's special operations squad.

i think of kenny in these three years as unmoored much like iseyama describes levi after shiganshina; the main thing guiding him seems to be his disdain for rod reiss, since he has no hard feeling against frieda. dare i say... rod is kenuri's zeke?

besides his worry for kuchel and debatable care for levi, kenny does, actually, express some of the humanitarianism that motivates his nephew, also in chapter 65 and also excluded from the anime adaptation:

"how much WE lost in those five years?! how many precious lives?!" "he don't give two shits about any of it! not his his family, not humanity, and certainly not you, historia!!

like, HELLO? who is he referring to? the residents of wall maria? the culling that killed armin's grandfather? historia's half-siblings? hell—trost and stohess, mere months ago? i think he's being genuine! this isn't a token, empty phrase, tugging at historia's heartstrings. a killer can value life, i don't think that's that crazy a thing to propose, least of all in attack on titan and least of all in the uprising arc where levi squad kills other humans (also all cops).

kenny's narration in chapter 69 and episode 47 revolves around power. his respect for uri starts from acknowledging him as "the strongest guy around," which echoes over the moment he abandons levi—he's done his level best to teach levi to be the strongest underground, and his philosophy of proving yourself to be the strongest or most powerful doesn't belie a sense of superiority over the weak or any desire to rule; it's the logical conclusion of the oppressed. he thinks of himself as strong, but doesn't call kuchel weak, and his use of "we"—he counts himself part of humanity. his later ambition to steal the founder... makes him more similar to erwin. he just wants the knowledge, the view from up there.

but i think kenny is a little dishonest in chapter 58 before one of levi's coldest "yeah"'s of all time:

i'll kill anyone if that's what it takes to get the job done. ya kill too when it benefits ya, right?

for both men, this object "you" is not themselves as individuals, despite their posturing. it could really, really be humanity, for all three ackermans. mikasa, ten chapters prior:

there are only so many lives i can value, and i decided who those people were six years ago, so you shouldn't try to ask for my pity. because right now, i don't have time to spare, or room in my heart.

and her series-long journey is excavating her heart for humanity. the common fandom complaint that she "only cares about eren" is, to me, similarly reductive as their view of kenny. characters can lie to themselves, or reveal they're more selfless than they thought.

in conclusion:

ACAB

WIT skipped a lot of exposition to animate an extra kenny-levi fight that doesn't even make sense spatially

of course he sucks! and so do the younger ackermans! but they all suck a lot less than they think they do

kenny is also historia's uncle by marriage, in my heart

someone draw him and zeke hanging out

Ever dreamed of a less harsh world of AOT? Characters didn't die left and right but lived until the end?

Well, my project is for you and others stumbling upon this aswell https://archiveofourown.org/works/63834853/chapters/163695463

Starting from 104th Cadet Division, we of course have our main characters: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Marco, Connie, Sasha, Krista and Ymir (Freckles)

And of course we have the side characters, Thomas, Mina, Hannah, Franz, Samuel and Daz (Phobos)

Now the expanded stuff, Warriors are no longer a trio with Marcel alive (Lore changes, Two Jaw Titans created in the past like twins/brothers, Porco selected alongside Marcel, sent to Paradis... and Porco got eaten with protecting Reiner)

Floch and his friends Sandra (Korsa) and Gordon (Friman) are implied to be in 104th Division as all others. Military Police trio Marlowe, Hitch and Boris are from 104th Division but not Southern. And two minor characters from Season 4 and OVA are Louise (Lane) and Ilse Langnar.

Some veteran scouts have expanded family origins, Like Nifa (Forster) & Floch, Nanaba (Zacharias) & Mike are siblings. Or giving last names to some like Lynne (Lichtenberg) and Abel (Shephard)

Levi Squad has Isabel and Furlan as Levi's right hands (They survived from Abnormal Titan encounter by hiding until Levi arrived, and the trio decimated it)

Lastly, this fanfic is gonna have two OCs. But they rather come in late to the party. The first of which is Adam Gravar who's basically in place of Floch's development from S3 to S4 (Essentially Yeagerist, but he has a very different desire than Canon Floch) and the second/last OC is Faulkenbury, an Eldian Marley Soldier, born without fear. He's gonna become important in S4 onwards.

What about the events? I'll write them in parts later on...

So what do you think?

Now that you brought it up…. I in fact so have my own light-hearted version of AOT - it’s called ‘Paradis! A World Without Titans’. If you’re interested, I’ll leave the link to the first chapter here:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45068290/chapters/113374387

Anyways, I’m liking your ideas for your own AU as well, sounds interesting to check out… except the part about Fl*ch. (sorry but I really hate that guy)

Thank you for this fanfic suggestion :)

Side note: Pls tell me Marco gets more time and a relationship with Jean in this story, PLZ?! 🥺

[rougekithes]

AoT Ending defenders think that Eren whining over Mikasa is why people were upset but, I lowkey don't think that's the whole story.

I know I can't stand the ending but the whining is, for me, just a small part honestly. Personally I'm not fond of the shoe horned in romance, could just make the breakdown about like, everyone, and less Mikasa specific and I'd have no issues with it. Mostly because, yeah the dude is 19 and knows he's about to die, having a moment here is perfectly fine. I just never saw the interactions between Mikasa and Eren as particularly romantic, at least from Eren's side. Some may claim "but but but he punched a titan bare handed to protect Mikasa!!", Well yes that he did, but he also jumped into a titan's mouth, facing what was for him at the time, certain death to protect Armin. - I have a hard time viewing them as romantic even after I read Ch. 139.

But lemme just: - (Anime) Eren going "bc I was a powerhungry idiot." - (Manga) Eren going "I dunno, I just felt like I should do it" - Fucking Ymir Fritz being in love with a man that killed and enslaved her family, cut out her tongue, raped and abused her. (Sure, you can be abused and still be in love with your abuser but what the fuck kinda message is this here) - Eren being responsible for Carla's death. - pre determinism. - (Anime) Genocide somehow being the actual solution to the problem because apparently anime paradis makes it into a futuristic Sci-Fi Era, despite the 20% of the global population that survived still dwarfing Paradis. - It's like 400 Mil people outside Paradis vs. like 2 Mil on Paradis. - (Manga) Armin literally going "Thank you for being a mass murderer for our sake. We won't let this error go to waste". I'm glad it's changed for the anime but god it was so bad, unfortunately the good moment was ended with this "I'm an idiot" line from Eren which kinda ruined it for me again.

[gojuo]

What do you think of Aot ending?

man... it was.... whatever. I wasn't having a full meltdown like r/titanfolk was having at the time, but I also wasn't pleased with it either. I'll admit that after the Rumbling was activated, I kinda stopped giving a damn about the cast. Armin, Mikasa, Connie, Jean, Levi, Hange, Annie, Reiner, Gabby, Falco, etc. etc. can't even remember who was there anymore, I just stopped caring about them. not because I was angry or something, but because by that point, my only concern and point of sympathy was Eren and Eren only. Cause he's my son. and I'm not joking. so anyways after the Rumbling Eren — as the main character in the narrative the reader is privy to — essentially disappeared (although it was already happening during the Marley arc but I digress) so I kinda stopped caring about the story as a whole. I did not agree with the philosophy and ideology of the Alliance who all kinda turned into the main protags in that final arc which is why I didn't care about following their journey to get to Eren outside of Eren himself but I'm not going to get into that currently cuz that's a whole can of worms my ass will never open, just FYI. anyways what I'm trying to say is that when we were nearing the end of the manga, the one and only character I actually cared for was Eren and Eren only. so I didn't give damn about Eremika nor did I like it, but it didn't come out of left field either. I was just hoping it'd stay ambiguous like it had always stayed. I liked the Ymir backstory, minus the execution of her soul-freeing epiphany. because the Eremika relationship is in no way or form comparable to what she and King Fritz had and her getting closure because of them is a bit.......... I mean I get what Isayama was going for.. the execution was just awful. but whatever. like I said, at this point I only cared about Eren. And I always knew Eren was going to die. there was not a single possibility in any universe that Eren was not going to die. so I always knew that something like this was going to happen. I just didn't expect it to happen like this .. kinda pathetically. I'm not calling Eren pathetic, just that Isayama's attempt at finishing his character arc was kinda pathetic in a writing sense. My main issue with this fandom was always that no one ever really understood Eren. "He's a crying bitch baby" like dawg he was 10 years old. his mind was broken by Shiganshina. then it continued to break more and more because fate had chosen him to be its infernal victim. and I loved it, I loved him and I knew it was always gonna end this way for him. too bad Isayama kinda fumbled the bag by being too wishy-washy and that by the time we got to the end I just didn't really care anymore to be mad at anything. ch. 139 was just whatever to me. it still is. I can say with my whole heart that SNK is a masterpiece and Eren is one of the best MCs of all time, just that the final stretch of chapters was mehh. it wasn't bad (unlike the age old example of Bleach whose final stretch of chapters ruined the entirety of the manga and I'm not even exaggerating), but it wasn't peak either. it was just, a logical yet meager ending that made sense within the framework the story had always been operating in AKA the ending made sense for the type of story Isayama was trying to tell. Eren's character assassination and the poorness of ch. 139 are greatly overblown by the fandom, but it is true that the ending was quite mehh. that's really all I can say about 139. mehh. whatever. made sense but I wish Eren hadn't been sidelined like this in favor of the Alliance's weak ass convictions. but that also made sense cuz of course Isayama wasn't arguing in favor of omnicide lmfao. so TLDR I thought it was mehh but I wasn't too mad about it because I always knew it was going to end this way. Eren is still my GOAT though bc I agree with his omnicide <3

Ymir x gn!Reader Headcanons

(Little things she’d do that makes you love her even more <33)

-She has always been a huge fan of the drums. Ever since she saw them in Marcels memories in Marley, she’d act them out with two pens and a dresser, tapping her foot trying to make a beat. Sometimes when you weren’t looking she’d take the metal buckets used to give water to the cows and would slam her pen against it, trying to make a beat. One day you caught her and her face became a bright red, a flutter in her stomach as she kicked over the buckets on her desk screaming a “I-I’M NOT DOING ANYTHING! LEAVE!”

- Ymir’s honestly got the sound for music, and in modern!Au I see her being a rapper or in a band.

- I see Ymir being a Light academia/ grudge girl living her best life in NYC. She’s the type to go out to bars late at night, staying there until about 5AM and coming home wasted as you’d scold her for worrying you. “Y/n I am not drunk~” she’d say with her speech a bit slurred. “You’ve been out since eight! You worried me sick! I already know you are so stop your hiding!”

- Mmm a fan of nirvana and the beatles. Everything about Ymir screams city ‘80-90’s. She’d try to get you into them aswell.

- Back to regular AU, Ymir would show you affection by always being by your side. She's not as overbearing or protective as Mikasa, but she shows her affection by gifting, physical affection, and acts of service. Kisses you randomly and at times you’d never expect. You guys could be at a funeral and she’d be trying to make out with you while you're mourning the loss of your great uncle bill. (MY FANFIC IDEA BACK OFF I’M MAKING IT!!)

- Little things like twirling your hair in her fingers, or softly brushing up against you while walking past, a slap on your ass as when you turn back she gives you a smirky smile with a wink. Ymir can be cocky at times, hell that’s basically her whole personality, but love ig. (IM MESSING)

- Now for gifting, everytime she goes out in town, she buys you at least something. Whether it’s your favorite treat or a fancy necklace she stole, she's always thinking about you and your interests. Your questions about how in the world she got such an expensive gift always get ignored, it makes you worried she’s going too far, (The military doesn't pay that much anyway smh).

- You’d come home to your room spotless, your clothes folded, your bed made, your dresser organized and cleaned and your shoes aligned perfectly near the entrance. “Ymir?!” You said, shocked at what you just saw. “Hey baby” She’d say while kissing your cheek, whipping a rose from behind her. You laughed to yourself before kissing her back in appreciation, “Thank you sweetie, this helps me out a lot.... AND YOU VACCUMED!? I LOVE YOU OH MY GOD!”

- Ymir has such a love for nicknames, weather its you calling her one, or her calling you one. Of course, she loves your beautiful name~ Y/n how unique~ it’s like shes never seen your name in a fanfiction on tumblr before~~ BUT~ she hella likes calling you mammas. This woman is such a mama’s type. In Modern AU Collage, she’d be the one in the back of the classroom moaning “mommy” when the professor turns their head LMAO (totally haven’t done that before)

- The nicknames you’d use for her is “lovely,” “sweetie,” “alpha (AS A JOKE LMFAO NOT THE GATCHA SHIT ANYTHING BUT THE GATCHA SHIT) and probably “freckles,”

- she HATES when you tease her about her freckles. To be honest, I think she’s secretly, unironically, insecure about them. You didn’t catch onto this until later on, when you’d notice how every time you’d see her when you wake up they’d be there.

-During the day they were barely noticeable, and as you’d fall asleep, how they reappeared. You never thought of Ymir as a makeup person, until you found a matching skin tone powder in her bag. It finally started coming together. Her freckles disappearing, the skin tone powder in her bag, the way you catch her staring at her skin in the mirror. It all started to make sense, and honestly made you really sad. To you, Ymir was perfect, but I guess she didn’t see what you saw in her.

- You confronted her about it, and she said she doesn't’ like how “many” of them there are, to which you responded., “it’s only 102!” which is how many you counted. I feel like after a while she’d start to realize how hot she was and how many people from a reality world want to get with her who’s reading this right now and says “Damn, I am hot.”

THIS WAS SO DUMB LMFAO

[theshipsong]

Do you ever think about how Marco is a Gemini and how it almost kind of ties into the half and half memes because I do

okay yes but also not to be deadly serious, i also think he narratively has a series of twins or echoes. he's our first impression of the military police, so we're primed to look for him there. first there's marlowe (rhyming name), a successful MP recruit far more aware of their corruption but just naive enough to imagine reform; then, and i mean this sincerely, djel sannes of the first interior squad. young sannes in ch 69, talking to kenny at the wallist gathering, sounds and slightly looks like marco at his most monarchist. it's not that wild to imagine cadet sannes exactly as naive as marco, or marco's could've-been future as a violently loyal elite MP. between marlowe and sannes, we don't get to know how marco would've grown

marlowe and marco also die the fuckin same courtesy of blond marleyans. marlowe is a 1st decan pisces, whose symbol is two fishes like gemini's twins, and the two are mutable signs

there's so few geminis in this canon, and one of the only others of consequence is ilse langnar, who is mistaken for ymir—twins! i'm kind of impressed the more i visualize this dataset of like, 140+ birthdays yams chose. i don't think he did this totally carelessly is all i'm saying

Ch 133 Analysis and AOT Ending Theory

SNK is about “Resolving of Ymir’s World” when Ch 122 was revealed. It is not about Eldians or Marlyeans 

The most intriguing part of this chapter for me is KID EREN.

Below are the two questions I have:

Why exactly is his eyes are shut off like Ymir? 

Why is he shown as Kid?

In Ch 122, let me take a look at Ymir’s background where every single character in this chapter is drawn exactly the same as above.

Why do you think so? 

Well,

Ch 122: From you, 2000 years ago

“UNDERNEATH THIS WORLD FULL OF PAIN AND SUFFERING, EXISTS ANOTHER WORLD WHICH LIGHT CANNOT REACH...”

It speaks about two worlds here, 

“Which is that WORLD WHICH LIGHT CANNOT REACH?” YMIR’S WORLD

This is the reason their eyes have been drawn in this way because it’s a world where even a light cannot be reached. There is not even a light of hope in her world. This is from Ymir’s perspective.

Ch 01: To you, 2000 years from now

“Which is that WORLD FULL OF PAIN AND SUFFERING?” EREN’S WORLD 

The depiction of Ymir never changed throughout the Ch 122 except when Eren said, “You are free”.

Next question, 

Why is Eren shown as a kid?

I have two theories and I still do not have a concrete explanation as to why?

Theory 1:

Ymir died as a Eldian Human just before she inherited the Powers. Her appearance is same as this in Ch 133.

Eren inherited his Father’s powers when he was a kid very similar to above as fellow Eldian and is Subject of Ymir not human anymore. 

(P.S Eren eating his father plays a key role which we are yet to see from Eren’s perspective)

Theory 2:

Ymir’s and Eren’s World are connected. This image of little Eren here suits more and how he talks about he does not want to be caged and hence his appearance as a KID in Ch 133. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Eren is shown here crying when you co-relate Ch 1 and Ch 122. He did not realise he was FREE until he meets ARMIN in EREN’s WORLD in contrast to what he says that he has always been this way in the PATHS thats because all the characters play a key role in shaping Eren’s Vision of which Armin is the first person.

Ymir is born into this world to be a SLAVE. (However her own self in the form of Eren required to make her realise that she is FREE)

Eren is born into this world to be FREE.

Finally the ENDING THEORY (I am not predicting how exactly it is going to fair out. I will only be talking on the context of it which debunks EH stans theory and Lelouch ending that are not gonna happen) and I am not really concerned how all the characters will fill their roles, since all are playing in the hands of Eren. No matter what happens, it’s Eren who is going to WIN this.

Timeloop is the very basis of the SNK story since the concept of PATHS (Time is infinite/eternal with a cyclic universe) has been introduced and we need to relate to everything from Ch 121 as the base when Eren gets access to the PATHS that’s when the story of SNK BEGINS and the other time Eren gets access to the PATHS is when he eats his father so I am keenly waiting for that moment. 

When Eren talks about destroying the WORLD, it’s Ymir's world he speaks of that made Eren’s world full of Pain and Suffering.

Eren is definitely gathering all of them at one single place as he is planning to strip off all the powers that includes TITAN POWERS, MILITARY BASEMENT OF MARLYEANS. That’s his main intention.

Some Random Things:

And the ATTACK TITAN we see now is the ULTIMATE/FINAL FORM that resembles the organism.

Coming back to Ch1:

13th is the symbol of totality, completion and attainment which means it signifies the New Beginning and Destruction of the Old World. 

When I revisited the chapter, I realised it that its not Mikasa who is saying it because the dialogues are not pointed to her. Eren is waking up from the dream state to waking state. So “See you later. Eren.” is likely someone else saying it may be Ymir. 

I have seen all kinds of crazy theories for SNK that’s how flexible Ishayama has written and he is free to choose out of it to be honest, that’s really brilliant writing.
