The Way I Mentally Dropped Everything And RAN

The way I mentally dropped everything and RAN

WAKE UP IT’S LEVI MONTH!!!

Thank you sm for your response, and such a thoughtful response! Your understanding of Erwin is one of the more well-rounded takes I’ve heard; people claiming him to be either a badass or a monster, much like in the show itself. Personally I think I’ll always lean towards the latter due to his blasé attitude towards sacrifice, tho I do understand how he got there. He is a flawed and painfully human character whose heart is in the right place more times than it isn’t, even when it leads him to do some unsavoury things

That analysis post about why Levi likes tea so much reminded me, with this panel, of something I also don't think people fully understand. Which is why Levi was so angry at Erwin at first, and why he was so out for his blood.

It's because he threatens Furlan's and Isabel's lives here. He orders his men to hold their swords to their throats, simply because Levi had refused at first to give him his name. Levi's belligerence on that front is rooted, I think, in how Erwin and his men are treating him and his friends. Having them down on their knees, in the filth and mud, with their arms bound behind their backs, making demands of them all the while. It's made worse when Erwin orders Mike to push Levi's face into the sewage. And that's what it is. It's sewage, not simply mud. You can see it coming out of the drain pipes. Levi was deeply upset by this, and understandably so. Putting someone's face into a puddle of sewage is a ghastly thing to do, especially when one really considers what the consequences of something like that could be. There's all sorts of diseases one could contract from inhaling that kind of filthy water. But it's what happens next that I think really drove Levi to wanting to kill Erwin.

Isabel is certain that the scouts are going to kill them in the above panel, and in a show of defiance, tells them to just get it over with. Furlan's face is frozen in fear, sweat trickling down it, because he feels the threat is real too.

But look at Levi's face.

Where before he'd only been angry, here, he's horrified, shocked and frightened. He realizes, suddenly, that Erwin isn't just capable of humiliating them, but seemingly willing to take their lives if he doesn't comply. He's threatening the only two people Levi has in his life. The only two people he's ever been able to call friend, and really, are more like his family. The two people he's done all he can to protect in the dangerous world of the Underground City. Basically, the two people he lives for.

I think some people tend to think Levi wanted to kill Erwin over wounded pride. Even just calling what Erwin did, before ordering his men to hold their blades to Isabel's and Furlan's throats, a case of wounded pride is an understatement, I think. He thoroughly humiliated Levi and his friends, and treated them inhumanely, as if they had no rights or autonomy. But it really wasn't that which drove Levi toward wanting to kill Erwin. It was that Erwin presented himself as a threat to his family.

Your Help - A Levifar Story

Chapters: 5/?

Summary:

Levi has been friends with Furlan Church for what is going on two years now. Though it's never been confirmed, he thinks they could even be best friends. Despite Furlan's cleaning ability being a solid -5, and his level of sex jokes high enough to make a hooker blush, Levi has no regrets over knowing him. Levi doesn't fully despise how Furlan has grown to know him either.

However.

As his unofficial best friend, Furlan knows enough of him to determine when Levi needs some help.

… What was it he said about having no regrets?

So I made a thing :P

It’s a story I was at first very excited to share then very reluctant as the ideas dried up and lack of faith in my writing ability set in, but I’m back now and hope to see it to the end. It’s a shame that there is so little content out there for this ship so I am determined to give this offering to our small but mighty community.

The fic is currently up on Ao3 and can be accessed using this link: (see below)

I would be so incredibly grateful to anyone who would give this story a chance and hope it will bring you some joy.

I mean, Levi is not a casually violent person. I probably did something to deserve it 🤷‍♀️ might as well take it like a champ and thank him for the opportunity

The way I gave an audible ‘AAAH’ at this artwork 😆 the absolute chokehold these three have on my heart
