Humanity? What Humanity? I Have Always Been Here For That Hot Tall Blond.

Humanity? What humanity? I have always been here for that hot tall blond.

Levi Ackerman, SnK 84 (via 160x188)

There are a lot of things that didn’t sit right with me this chapter, but there is one thing that did.

Hanji’s speech only served to confirm what we already knew:

To Levi, this struggle was always about Erwin rather than about Humanity. He was just lucky that - much like Erwin - his own personal feelings aligned with “the cause.”

Eren tries to make that point at the very start of the chapter.

Isayama spelled out that Levi didn’t give Eren the serum because he was clinging to the hope that Erwin would still be alive. Because he was holding onto his own personal feelings for Erwin.

And Hanji basically gives voice to Levi’s feelings.

“No matter what or whom, we will always end up separated by life and death.”

It’s been obvious since chapter 72 that Levi has been in pain over the thought of losing Erwin. Hell, he’s been probably acutely aware of how close that possibility’s been creeping up to them since Erwin lost that arm.

Just as we’ve been saying all along, this had nothing to do with Humanity. This was Levi fighting tooth and nail to keep Erwin alive, to not be separated from Erwin, because of how painful losing him would be.

And the last confirmation is Levi choosing to let him go. Hanji overrode Eren’s and Mikasa’s emotional pleas with the cold, hard truth:

No matter how brilliant Armin is, he doesn’t have Erwin’s experience. He doesn’t have Erwin’s wisdom or charisma. He doesn’t symbolize the same thing Erwin does to humanity.

And by choosing to let Erwin rest and ‘free him from hell’, Levi’s true priority clearly shone through one last time. Because (leaving our personal feelings about his choice aside) he chose to give Erwin peace over giving Humanity a better shot at victory. He was selfless about Erwin and selfish towards Humanity.

Erwin always came first to Levi and it’s undeniable now, to the point even beating Zeke will be about Levi fulfilling his ‘vow’ to Erwin.   

Hiatus.

Hannibal Lecter & Bentley Arnage

i Wonder why he had a car like that.(so WIDE~ BACKSEAT;->)

Although he is Single!

When people leave a Marvel movie right after it finishes and don’t wait for the extra scene.

when you’re happy because of Armin but you’re sad because of Erwin
