I just realised something funny.

In (Argentine) Spanish we have an expression, "más bruto que un arado" ("coarser than a plough") to refer to someone blunt/unrefined/uncultured/uncouth, and Ackerman means ploughman... so fitting! 😆

(This being the internet I feel compelled to clarify the expression is not necessarily despective: Spanish being Spanish, it's the tone used that says whether it's used as a descriptor or an insult. So, sneering "Why would you buy the good tea for Levi when he's coarser than a plough?" is obviously not nice, but "Look, he may be coarser than a plough, but Levi's killed most titans than the rest of the SC together, so who cares if he doesn't salute" is just fact-stating).

Never say never

I've never hidden the fact that I almost exclusively read fanfic in English. Fanfic in my language icks me for some reason. I leave that mystery to psycholinguists if such thing exists. I've only ever read fanfic in Spanish a) by mistake (when something maybe catches your attention and you push through though your whole being goes no, no, no) or b) bc a pal wrote it.

But after reminiscing with @lucysarah-c about the times we hc'd an Argentine Levi, and how I can't seem to let go of that image despite my "SpanishFanficCringe" mindset, and how I have no problem reproducing dialog from my fics to my rl friends who don't speak English if I do it in my own Rioplatense accent, I went into AO3, searched for "argentino" and filtered by fandom.

I even read an eremika, y'all. Do you realise? My NOTP. And I fucking liked it. And eruri too.

I can't read fics in Spanish, but I can read fics in Argentine. In MY Spanish. Go figure.

And to make a point, if you understand rioplatense, if you even been to the Buenos Aires coast for the summer, please do yourself a favour and read this fucking jewel of a fic:

Kenny and Uri as an old married Jewish couple is the ship I didn't know I needed.

I've been nagging Levi for months for him to bring you over for dinner! Kenny: So, this is the Goy you're dating, Levi? 3. Kenny: What do you do for a living, Smith? You look like you were fine with the AMIA bombing. Levi: Don't bust my balls, Kenny Uri: Can you pass the challah, dear? Kenny: Yes, darling.

YAAAASSSSSS!!!! Shingeki argento!!!

Note for confused followers: @kebabcito has inserted the Rumbling in a typical Argentine setting. Three working class guys, one with a Boca Juniors shirt (the most popular football team) and drinking mate; another eating choripán (bbq sausage in french bread sandwich) and sporting a tatoo of "La Mona" Giménez (a very famous artist, very popular among the lower classes); they have empanadas on the table and appear to be playing truco, a typical card game. In the background, a clueless woman is taking a pic of the Titans with her kid on tow who clearly shouldn't be there, (somebody think of the children!) On the first panel, the guys exclaim: "Fuck me!" (lit transl.: "my sister's cunt!") but in the second panel, conditioned by a lifetime of living in the most kafkian republic of the western hemisphere, they carry on like nothing: "Well, as I was saying, lol, it's quite an issue..." It's a beautiful and sad metaphor of what it's like to live in Argentina.
