#im trying to think and i genuinely cant remember a single time levi was shown eating in canon 💀

[levmada]

interesting detail after historia finished telling the whole story about her upbringing and family. EVERYONE else's trays are empty except levi's. actually it's untouched.

i've talked about this before, and i think that levi has a wholeee trauma complex surrounding eating and having access to food. in a nutshell, growing up in a place as lawless and dangerous as the underground where there is so little food - levi probably learned that eating and sleeping is when you're most off your guard.

so to him even eating in front of a group is a show of weakness.

(consider that levi was in the underground for about 20 years, and at the point in s2, he's been aboveground for 5 years-ish.)
