LITERALLY THEM

i mentioned this in another post's tags but sometimes I feel like the only AOT fan on the planet who understands that the end of the Rumbling didn't suddenly fix everything and it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows after

ESPECIALLY FOR THE WARRIORS

all of them have SEVERE PTSD on top of grieving a majority of their comrades and their childhood home

furthermore, Reiner and Pieck haven't even seen Annie in 4 years and there's so much to address there

and there's this disconnect between Pieck and the other 2 because Reiner and Annie got sent to Paradis 5 years prior to Pieck so they have no understanding of what the other experienced

i really hope Reiner gets to heal his relationships with the others

i really hope Annie learns empathy

but i especially hope that Pieck gets to actually express her true feelings for once instead of keeping it all together because she's the older sister in a way

I feel like the absolute turmoil titan shifters go through is severely overlooked because they have no scars to show it.

Of course their wounds heal, but the pain is still very real. The trauma of having your limbs brutally chopped/bitten/blown off is still very real. The agony they suffer, both mentally and physically, every time they have to self harm in order to shift is still very real.

They've suffered horrific wounds that nobody should have to endure. But they heal, and then they go on to endure it some more.

When I remember that Eren gouged out his own eye and cut off his own leg, I just feel so sick to my stomach for him. I can't imagine the mental fortitude it would take to do something like that- to go against every instinct and bone in your body screaming at you not to do it, all for the purpose of achieving a goal.

Not my usual content, but I made something I wanted to share...

Edit: Now with an ID from @a-captions-blog! Thank you for writing it!

[Art description: A Pokémon-themed comic featuring OP as a Pikachu. Long description follows.

1. The tips of Pikachu’s ears are shown with text that says, ‘I’m a Pikachu / My world is filled with lots of cool stuff. Sometimes it feels like anything is possible!’ Under this is a collage showing a Charizard, a Pidgeotto, a Nidoking, an Eevee, and an Ivysaur, all in the background as the Pikachu looks up in wonder. Text reads, ‘All sorts of types, all sorts of attacks, all sorts of Pokemon.’

2. Text says, ‘But...only two ways a Pikachu’s tail could look.’ Two boxes in the upper corners show the male and female Pikachu tails, respectively. The male has a rectangular end to his tale, and the female has a heart-shaped end to hers. Text continues, ‘So then, what am I?’ A large drawing of the narrator Pikachu is shown, with an arrow pointing to their tail, whose end is split somewhat like scissors and doesn’t match either the male or female drawing above.

3. Text says, ‘Too pointy to be [female], too much of a V-shape to be [male]. I thought there was something wrong with me.’ Under this are three cascading panels showing the Pikachu from below at an angle emphasizing their tail. The second panel shows mel further away, and in the final panel she have disappeared entirely. Text on the panels reads, ‘I felt / very, very, very / alone.’

4. Text says, ‘But then, something happened. I found others like me.’ The art shows the narrator reaching out to another Pikachu. Under this are three other Pikachu. One has a rounded tail, one has a tail that has been stitched up to be rectangular, and one has a tail with a slight spike at the tip.

5. Closeups are shown of each of the tails from the previous panel, with text that says, ‘Round tails, scarred tails, spiky tails.’ Under this is a drawing of the Pikachu all hugging with lightning coming from their cheeks. Text reads, ‘They told me nothing was wrong with me, and I wasn´t alone anymore.’

6. Text says, ‘There are many ways a Pikachu’s tail can look. I’ve heard there’s at least over 30 different variations.’ Under this are two panels. The first panel shows the narrator lying on their back on a background of male and female symbols. Text reads, ‘Some days are still hard.’ In the second panel, the Pikachu with the scarred tail is shown with text that says, ‘My friend tells me her tail used to look just like mine. It was taken from her.’

8. The narrator is shown sitting and looking upwards. Text reads, ‘Some trainers won’t accept Pikachu that aren’t [male] or [female]. They alter our tails without our consent. But things are getting better. We are making change. We’re fighting so that our tails will be left alone.’ Under this is a panel showing the four Pikachu running happily towards the right. Text reads, ‘We’re all on a spectrum. Every tail looks different; anything is possible.’

The final text reads, ‘This is a comic about intersex people.’ The watermark in the lower right says @ PostManic. \End descriptions
