It’s still loving Mikasa hours 24/7/365 here and I will never be closing up shop.

You really… don’t hate me?

Gabi: *kicks down door looking panicked*

Falco: what did you do?

Gabi: nobody died

Falco: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?

I love Gabi so much. Her character is so beautiful and important, and I feel like the story simply would not be complete without her.

She wanted to free everyone from the internment zones. She wanted to prove that Eldians weren't devils, that they were good people. She wanted freedom. But Marley took this wish for freedom and twisted it to their benefit.

And suddenly, Marley wasn't the oppressor anymore, it was the Eldians from Paradis. The people of Paradis were devils, monsters. But she was different. The Eldians from Marley were different. They were good people. And so, in order to be free, in order to be respected, in order to be happy, they had to get rid of the devils of Paradis. Everything was their fault, not Marley's. Marley was good and correct. Being loyal to Marley meant being cleansed of her ancestors' sins.

It meant being a good Eldian.

It meant being free.

So she trains for Marley. She fights for Marley. She kills for Marley. And she feels no regret, because it's all for the sake of freedom. Her freedom, and everyone else's. Once she kills the devils of Paradis, the good Eldians will be free.

But then she actually gets to Paradis Island. She meets Kaya and the Blouse family. And they're kind. They're good. Kaya even offers to help her and Falco. She gets to the restaurant. A Marleyan....in love with an Eldian. The soldier she killed was a part of the Blouse's family. She expects them to hate her. But they forgive her. They treat her injuries. And they're kind and good and all the things she was taught they were not.

They're normal people just like the Eldians back home. Just like her family, and Falco. Just like her.

There's a lot more after this, but it's the realization that the people of Paradis are normal people who just want to live that makes her character change and that makes her so precious in my eyes.

She's no longer fighting for what Marley wants.

She's fighting for what she wants.

I love Gabi so much, and all I want for her is happiness and freedom and love.

I hope she finds it someday.

TL;DR: Gabi Braun is amazing and she deserves to live happily ever after with Falco.

Happy women's day to our best girls!!!
