I have a question that I thought you might know the answer to (or be interested in speculating about): can the lines on the classic 3DMG gear fire backwards? Or more generally, what's the range of movement when aiming those things? If it's relatively limited, that would mean the anti-personnel gear does have an advantage in flexibility, which might make me hate it slightly less. ;)

I’m so sorry for my late ass response to this! One of the reasons I decided to rewatch the anime is so I could answer this question thoroughly lol. Now then,

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal opinion. In no way am I stating what I say here is canon or completely accurate. if you disagree with my opinion, that’s perfectly fine! Everyone has a different interpretation of the series and its characters! However, if you are going to send me messages trying to argue points of view with me or send me hate messages because my opinion differs from your own; please do us both a favor and don’t even bother with it.

Though it is shown that the wires in the classic gear setup can withstand being moved and retracted from just about any direction without snapping after being anchored, I do not believe they can actually be fired backwards.

Every source I have looked up for this only shows one firing point on the anchor docks mounted at the hips, and it’s solely forward facing.

The direction in which they can fire the wires is limited solely to where they can aim their hips in a forward facing direction. They can choose how high or low to shoot them, but the direction at which they fire remains the same no matter what. However, even with this limited point of fire, their mobility overall is actually quite versatile. Like I said above, even though the wires can only be fired in one direction, they can move and be retracted from any direction. So once the wearer has the anchor secure, they can move as they please so long as only one wire is deployed. If both are deployed, this could happen:

The anti-personnel gear definitely has a more free range of initial directional choice, but due to being fired from the hands, it leaves the user open to attacks and the overall range of movement is compromised. They can only swing from their wrists, aim, shoot, and land on their feet.

They aren’t having to distribute their body weight or hyper-balance to preform, and they aren’t having to do wild flips and stunts to kill titans with that gear because it was made as a weapon to annihilate humans. So basically, it’s much easier to use. So while the classic gear is much more difficult to implement properly in battle and has limited directional options upon firing, it definitely offers a much broader spectrum of mobility overall. However, the AP3DMG allows for quicker attacks and freedom of direction with less strain on the body overall. So both have their benefits and their flaws, I suppose.

But neither allow for backwards firing from what I can tell.

Honestly, what I’m hoping is they managed to combine the two so they could have four points of directional fire. The better directional choice granted by the anti-personnel gear, and the free range of movement offered by the classic gear.

which characters of naruto did you want them to be still alive?

I was of course saddened by many people’s deaths, but the only deaths that actually disappointed me were Konan and Neji’s. But if I had to pick just one, then I’d want Konan to still be alive.

With every other high profile death in the series, they at least served a purpose - either to drive the plot forward (like Haku and Zabuza’s), to protect someone (like Neji and Chiyo’s), to give certain characters extra motivation (like Asuma, Jiraiya and Itachi’s), or something else along those lines. Konan’s death however, didn’t do any of that; it did nothing.

Firstly, for all intents and purposes, Konan should have defeated Obito; her attack should have definitely worked and was brilliantly thought out:

However, due to the physical manifestation of bullshit that is the Izanagi, Obito survived and killed her. And for what? What did it accomplish?

How good would it have been to have seen Konan become the new leader of Akatsuki, and lead the Organisation away from the Criminal underworld and into new, more respectful territory? That would have been great. Instead, we got this.

PLEASE GIVE ME TIPSS!!! So basically your drawing skills are absolute perfection and your naruto OC's are precious. I have some oc's in mind for a story of my own, but I can't draw for the life of me!! If you have any advice please please share! I'm getting desperate here

It depends on what you exactly struggle at. if it’s people in general I suggest you learn realistic anatomy both face and body. Here are series of tutorials that I strongly recommend http://foervraengd.deviantart.com/art/UNDERSTANDING-ANATOMY-part-I-220251993

  If it’s style itself I have made a tutorial for that http://pumyteh.deviantart.com/art/Naruto-face-tutorial-553892112

If you really want to learn just keep practicing and challenge yourself to draw things that still seem impossible for your level (with the help of tutorials ofc)

For Snk Ch 86 this dude on kissmanga really explained it cause I was confused as fuck.

I honestly believe the whole “adults require less sleep” thing is honest to god probably a myth created by capitalism

How I Teach Men Not To Talk Over Me: from one feminist to another, when basic respect is lagging and conversations are impossible

I’ve done this to several men, and they catch on rather quickly. You’ll be able to have a conversation right then and there, and it works long term too - they might’ve forgot their manners by the time you talk to them again, but by repeating this, they’ll eventually learn to let you talk without you having to do this at the start of every convo. Source: I have a very stubborn older brother, who eventually learned too.

1. When they interrupt you, stop talking. Don’t try to raise your voice or battle them. Be completely quiet and wait.

2. Ignore everything they’re saying. Do not actually listen - just wait until they shut up. Don’t make a point of anything they say, do not answer to anything they say, do not refer to anything they say here. Literally do not listen a single word. Let them rant as long as they want.

3. When they finally shut up and wait for your reaction, say: ”I wasn’t done talking.”

4. Start over whatever you were saying when they interrupted you. I don’t care if it was a 10-minute explanation of rocket science. Start. Over. Repeat you original thought, but do not add anything related to what they just said while talking over you. That gives them the idea that it’s okay to interrupt you, you’ll still listen and pay attention and they’ll get their point clear without having to listen to yours. (It’s especially funny when you get done and they expect you to keep going talking about whatever they talked over you. The face when it sinks in that you didn’t listen a single word is glorious.)

5. If they interrupt you again, return to step 1. If you find yourself repeating the cycle over 3 times, tell them: ”you’re not letting me speak. Either you listen and wait for your turn, or our conversation ends here.” If they try to make excuses, laugh it off or keep interrupting, end the conversation. Prove them that if they wont let you speak, they’re not worth your time.

Why does this work? First, because sometimes talking over is internalized and men don’t actually notice they’re doing it. Being vocally called out makes them realize it and pay attention to it - especially if it happens more than once. Secondly, by refusing to aknowledge anything they say when they interrupt you, they’ll soon realize they will not get their own point across if they keep doing that. Peoole and especially men have the need to be heard and paid attention to when they talk - when you make it clear that by talking over you, they will not have your attention, they’ll learn to wait until you’re done, because they know that’s when you will be paying attention and actually listening.

Go my darlings. Have some actual conversations where your point of view is just as valid as his. Demand the basic respect of being heard. You can actually have some interesting conversations with men when they’re forced to listen too, when being louder is not going to make them feel like they’re dominating the conversation or winning the argument.

sometimes i really love my fics. i wrote that because i wanted to read it. i love it. nobody visits my fics more than me. they remind me that i’m a hard worker, that i created something. it’s mine and i cherish it and love it because it’s exactly what i wanted so i made it.

and other days i’m crippled by self criticism and hate everything and can’t bear to look at my own work because i know it’ll never compare to the greats

but i live for the days i love my work. because it’s mine, and i made it. i didn’t wait for somebody else to make what i dream about. i went and did it myself.

so don’t feel like your work is awful

it’s the stuff you dreamed about. it’s the stuff you decided to make a reality. it’s not about quality, or poetry, or how perfectly your sculpt your words or keep it so deeply in character; because it’s what you dreamed and it’s what you wanted to see, so you made it.

keep writing; it’s yours, and you made it. and if you want to continue to sharpen and improve yourself? then do it. it’s all yours and you can make it whatever you want.

keep writing.

Omg

Chapter 54

Eren reveals to Historia that even if she is empty, he likes her true self better than the Krista facade.

Original Japanese Text

Eren: いつも無理して 顔を作ってる 感じがして

Eren: 不目然で正直気持ち悪かったよ

Aawwwh cute and I like the song

why are we not talking about eren right here

This is what I thinking about the whole time. Finally someone pour it into words. The design character in ani manga is always looks older than they actually are

I found my self suprised that most of them were still 15 yo, I thought they be more like 18 because the body. I knew some kids are looks older than the actual age, but not all of them. Don't tell me is because they were on training, cause I ever saw kids who always work out on material arts can still look like a kids/teenager with subtle muscle (not really defined like adults) cause they still growing up

Art By: x

“I feel like more people would be against Ereri and Rivamika if Eren and Mikasa actually looked 15 years old. Their character designs make them look like they’re 20 when they’re just kids and that bothers me.”

So… a while ago during the one of my usual readthroughs, I noticed something in Chapter 50 which I’ve been meaning to talk about.

When Eren first uses the Coordinate, they are at a pretty desperate situation like Levi later says. Mikasa is hurt and can’t fight, Eren doesn’t have his 3DMG on and is pretty much done at that point, but the thing about the 3DMG is… they’re on a plains land. Sure, they can use the Titans, but that’s not the point I’m trying to make here.

They are literally in the middle of a grass field. Grass. Grass. And then… after Mikasa and Eren run away… there’s this shit right here:

….Wait a second… what the… O_o

Why are trees growing there?! What the hell?! Where tf did those come from?!?!

Okay, this is immediately linked to my theory that Titans are plants but more specifically… this flower/plant thing has been foreshadowed so much at this point, that I’m betting my money on the theory that the Source of all Organic Material is a tree/plant of some sort. Because 1) @falcon94ssy ‘s analysis, including the constant talks about bloodlines like here:

The flowers in Eren’s dream, the flowers inside the Titan in Episode 9… there are references everywhere. Titans only moving during sunlight and regenerating limbs?

Oh and 2) Isayama REALLY likes Norse mythology. It wouldn’t surprise me if the World Tree was the source of all organic material at this point.

Eren using the Coordinate, aka the direct connection to the source seems to have made those trees grow. Now this may just be scenery artwork but like I said, you don’t see small trees growing around the main characters on a pure field of fucking grass. This has been my analysis of this. Now hurry up Isayama.

I would just love to see a scene where basically:

After all the fighting is finally over, Eren (in his own tsundere-ish way) admits he now wants to save all the very remaining titans he once vowed to wipe out from the face of the earth, and he also now has the power to do just that. Only he replaces “save all the titans” with something like “free all humans who are trapped inside of titans” in an attempt to be slick about it and make it look good. Depending on the circumstances, this could even extend to him also wanting to save all the remaining “good” Marleyans, if any, and certainly all the remaining warriors, if any remain, and be a tsundere about that too.

Historia snickers to herself as she sees this as a great opportunity to get playful with him, and she takes full advantage of it, calling Eren out on what he really means, playfully teasing him over the irony, and blurting it out to everyone else nearby so they can also join in. This gets Eren all flustered up and makes him have a priceless, comical mad and tsundere-ish overreaction while also blushing very hard and crossing his arms as well as pouting and turning away like a child. Eren’s reaction makes Historia laugh so lively and sincerely, a site that Eren quickly switches to blushing lightly and smiling sweetly at as well as even laughing a bit himself upon seeing it, even calling it cute in his head.

And because this would be Eren after he has taken the ultimate level in badass and fully “progressed to that divine maturity and sacred wisdom” his name stands for with the help of Zeke (hence the meaning of his name “God will strengthen”) and the Progenitor Titan and its memories/experience/intelligence/wisdom/etc, that would make it that much bigger of a deal that Historia is getting the best of Eren even at his absolute best.

This would make a great parallel to when Eren once accidentally got Historia triggered over the irony of how she was saving the very humans she once said she wanted to just be destroyed. Even if it were just fan art or whatever, that would still be great to see (though extra credit points if it really does happen even in the actual manga canon).

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING!!

Or: love and attachment are the antidote to violence. People aren’t anxious to fight when their loved ones are at risk. This quote is the beating heart of the story: it is why Reiner’s experience with the Survey Corps can help bridge Eldia and Marley, and it is why Eren is doing the right thing in refusing to sacrifice Historia - just as she did the right thing in refusing to sacrifice him.

Yo boi, I understand you hate attack on titan but I want to ask, why do you ship erehisu? Beruyumi I can understand, what with berty and ymirs respective temperaments and how'd they work off each other but eren and historia seem a bit random.

It’s not random at all, especially after chapter 54. When Historia is lost after Ymir leaves to help Bertholdt and Reiner the person who helps her is Eren.

Everyone loved Christa. They worshiped her. But Eren never cared for Christa and much prefers Historia being honest, even if that means she’s not the saint that she pretended to be as Christa. Eren is the first person to openly accept the real Historia, which considering that Historia has been wearing the Christa mask for years she needed someone to tell her that they like, and prefer, the real her. Historia felt she was a disappointment because she wasn’t the kind sweet girl that Christa was, but Eren tells her that it’s okay for her to be herself. He became her first real friend, and didn’t have any ulterior motives. He understands the pressure she has on her because he’s got immense pressure on him to use his Titan powers to save everyone.

And when Eren was delirious after being chained up to die she knocks some sense into him, literally

She calls back to their conversation in chapter 54 admitting it made her happy that he called her normal after spending years not even having a true identity. 

Historia never had any friends. Even Ymir started out using her as a bargaining chip. But Eren accepted her and she wasn’t going to let him die. They ended up having a strong friendship and helped each other. 

And Eren admires Historia’s strength and how she become a more confident person. There’s a lot to like about them. They work really well together and were positive influences on each other.

Eren/Historia for the ships ask.

Thank You!! This is one of my main otps and I love to talk about it

Ok, so at the beginning of the series, I couldn’t really ship Eren with anyone (except maybe Annie.) No one seemed to click with him just right.

Now with Christa(Historia,) I didn’t think that much of her. She was cute and sweet, but that was it. I didn’t like Ymir at all, so that wasn’t doing her any help.

but then, everything changed.

Historia dropped her facade. She was a broken, sad, girl who didn’t feel like she was good for anything. She’d just been left by her only friend, and at the time, wasn’t feeling too good about herself.

and that’s when this scene happens:

Eren is the first person outside of Ymir accept Historia for who she is. Not only that, but he also said he likes her better that way. For someone who had only really known abuse and neglect, that must’ve been huge to Historia.

The uprising arc in general is so important to both characters and they both grow together, they develop a deeper understanding of each other, and in the end, Eren acknowledges that

and

(hmm…. is that a blush???)

basically, I adore this pairing and think they deserve more love. 

Bonus:

idk why but I absolutely love this panel

EDIT: I have more to say on this ok??

First off, have you ever heard anything better than “King of Beasts and Queen of Humanity???” No you haven’t.

second, look at this:

HE’S LITERALLY ENTRUSTING HER WITH HIS LIFELONG GOAL. AND IT GETS BETTER.

SHE DOESN’T 

THAT IS MY GIRL KICKING BUTT AND TAKING NAMES

(she later told Eren she was being dramatic and honestly both of the are such drama queens)

and finally

basically here is the entire quote:

“I may be mankind’s enemy, but I’m your friend, Eren. I can’t be a good girl, and I don’t want to become god. But if I see someone crying about how they’re not needed in this world, I want to let them know it’s not true.“

This is the biggest point in her character arc. Historia has finally accepted herself as she is. She in turn tells Eren that she is his friend and that he IS needed. And that is the most important point in their relationship.

They both accept each other for who they are.

Me when I saw the real starfish for the first time 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅

It’s so adorable how he refused to join them and proceed to hang out with the horses in the background instead. Sidenote: I am deeply in love with the new opening song for season 2

Genius prank 😂😂😂😂😂

[WHEEZE]

Well I'm glad if this theory will happend, since actually their bond of friendship is not that good anyway.

Guys, I saw this comment on @atrackon_armin2 on Instagram but, Erens saying “ but truth is I don’t want to go home, i can’t even look a my family in the eyes right now “, and mikasa is saying “ Eren… please… come home “, one thing for sure is, Eren Armin and mikasa have a place now to call home, secondly, the 2 most possible theories are, Eren left without telling Mikasa or Armin and they were just clueless and Eren just left or, guys, Eren had a fight with either both of them or just armin, the reason I’m not saying “ just Mikasa “ is isayama said that Eren and mikasa were going to keep a very specail bond but he was going to split apart Eren & Armin, And guys, I think the time has began, 19 chapters left and Eren and Armin start drifting away…😭

Armin and Eren

Armin’s a character whose development and progress tends to quietly happen in the background, especially when compared to louder, more flashy characters. His shifts and foreshadowing are more often shown with in between panels of his face, inserted amongst other things, so I feel these moments get overlooked.

With that in mind, I found the interaction between Eren and Armin in chapter 90 to be interesting.

Prior to Shiganshina, when Armin talked about the ocean with Eren, he was bubbly and enthusiastic. Armin’s a character that encapsulates the goodness and necessity of hope for something better, and it’s because of this that he ignited Eren’s desire for freedom. Eren strives for freedom so that people like Armin would be able to enjoy the freedom that is their birthright.

That said, Armin is similar to Eren in that he’s still willing to fight for that freedom. His goal isn’t freedom itself, but rather the rewards it brings. Where they differ is what they’re willing to sacrifice. Eren has his line and he’s unwilling to cross it, the realisation of which shocks Armin to the core.

Putting aside Armin’s insecurities and disbelief that anyone would want to save him at all (especially in favour of someone else), I feel like this scene is the moment where Armin realises he doesn’t really know Eren at all. The person he thought would follow the same path as him, that he intensely admired and laid down his life for, doesn’t have any of the qualities Armin believes are necessary to change their situation.

They have the ocean talk again, but I don’t think Armin’s buying it.

Eren smiles at him, but look at Armin’s expression. There’s none of the previous excitement or enthusiasm or hope the topic used to spark in him. His expression is closed off and downright cold. He doesn’t even return Eren’s smile.

There’s a close up of his eye that indicates some kind of realisation or thought. Eren says he knows freedom is beyond the walls, but while he says it he thinks of Faye, torn to pieces by dogs. Eren doesn’t believe what he’s saying. He’s telling Armin hopeful platitudes he himself doesn’t believe, and Armin knows Eren is lying to him.

Armin also knows Eren’s been keeping crucial information to himself, and it’s this suspicion as well as the break of trust in this scene that could very well be the foundation of the EMA split.

Moving to the ocean scene, Armin and Mikasa’s reactions to Eren are pretty exact, and that they’re framed close together and physically away from him is a pretty big indication that in whatever argument Eren and Armin have, Mikasa will inevitably side with Armin, something that was hinted at in chapter 101 with Mikasa arriving with the SC rather than being in Marley with Eren.

Story idea

Could I have a match up? I'm a cishet girl, zodiac sign is Cancer and I'm am INTJ. I like to read, write and watch movies. I'm a huge Disney fan and am kind of a hopeless romantic. I'm pretty girly, my favorite color is pink. I also enjoy fashion and makeup, I love wearing retro dresses and kind of have a vintage look. I'm pretty shy, especially around guys, so I tend to keep myself unless someone comes up and starts a conversation with me. But once someone talks to me I open up a bit.

Your matches are Armin, Reiner, Bertholdt, Jean, Marco, and Erwin!

While they’re not out to underestimate or place you beneath them, they wouldn’t be able to resist playing prince to your princess given how lovely and adorable you are even without trying. It’d be subtle and unconscious, but they’d always make an effort to play out your romantic fantasies. They’ll make sure that they’d listen to what you have to say knowing that it’s not easy for you, and they’d try their best to be your perfect gentleman to pay back for all your kindness.
