Does anybody else think about Jean Kirstein reuniting with his mother post-rumbling?
This scene is living rent free in my head: on the boat, he's dreading the moment. Not because he doesn't want to see her, no, Jean desperately wants to see his mother. He dreads seeing her because he doesn't know what she'll think of him now.
Will she see a monster? Jean hasn't seen his mother in years - will she look at him in horror? Because she knows he's killed people? That he has blood on his hands? He can never go back now.
Once they arrive to Paradis, Jean finds his mother waiting for them. He approaches her tentatively, his head hung down. She throws her arms around him - "my Jeanboy!" and pulls him into a tight hug. And Jean breaks down sobbing, because in that moment, he knows that his mother loves him so fiercely no matter what he's done - he will always be the little Jeanboy she made omelettes for in her mind.

shaking and frothing at the mouth like a small rabid dog. i have thoughts about the perfect court that do not and cannot exist in any language but what's important here is that you HAVE to under that fundamentally. fundamentally riko moriyama is a scared little boy who has been told since birth that he is nothing, and that the only way he can change this is to be the best: he can be the best or he can be nothing, and the default state here is nothing. and he knows somewhere deep in his gut that he will never be the best. he grew up with kevin day and saw the way kevin lived and breathed exy and knew there was something different about him, knew that they way kevin lived and breathed exy was somehow more than the way he did. and so he lied, he drew numbers on their faces he beat kevin down however he could because he could not stand to be nothing ever again. and it still wasnt enough.

i do Not buy karina braun arriving at a similar self-awareness to grisha's in the short time between the end of marley's mid-east war and the rumbling. if anything the rumbling should further embitter eldians in marley: yes, we sacrificed our children to a futile mission, but that was because we good eldians were right about those devils all along! etc. by the same token the jaegerists probably prop eren up as a martyr, the ultimate patriot, why wouldn't surviving eldians off paradis give bertolt and the galliard bros and colt the same treatment? grisha's line in 87 is "I dare say I never once treated Zeke as Zeke." could karina manage that now that her son is literal savior of the whole world? can she see past that and remember he was a boy?

it’s so annoying every time i wash my sheets and remake my bed i can never get the mf hospital corners right and it always makes me think of that brief line from attack on titan (before everything went to scheiße) that implies that when the 104th was in their domestic era eren saved jean from getting chewed out by levi by redoing the hospital corners on jean’s bed

Jane Fonda is so fascinating, like she had three husbands and reinvented herself for each of them in a way that was always authentic to herself, and also only became herself after leaving all of them and giving up on marriage altogether. After her first divorce, she moved back in with her dad and let the Black Panthers use his apartment for press conferences while she served cocktails to reporters, until the FBI showed up and her dad asked her to move out. When she was married to Tom Hayden, she was the major breadwinner and she also did all the dishes and laundry by hand because he wanted them to live like the proletariat. When they needed a source of funds for his economic justice work, she made her first workout tape and it sold 17 million copies. Sometimes she took her laundry over to the house of her French ex-husband to use his washing machine in secret. For Coming Home, she refused to film the part of a love scene that implied p*netration, so the final cut just has Jon Voight going down on her. Then she had to justify it to her socialist husband *and* her five-times-married dad who were both mad about it, and then she won an Oscar for it. When she was exiled for Hollywood for her political views she filmed a version of The Dollhouse where she made Nora a lesbian against the director's wishes and he had to cut around it. Then she married a billionaire and lived on a ranch for ten years. Then she went back to Hollywood and had a whole other career. Just a total legend.
