You’re not sure what tipped your boyfriend off about your current crummy, terrible, awful mood but he’s presently standing in the middle of your apartment with a box of chocolate danishes and a half smile. All while you’re in the same pajamas you’ve slept in for the past three days.

A harsh ‘why?’ comes out of your mouth after a few moments of silence riddled with confusion on your end. After his eyebrows raise at your less than welcoming energy, you decide to add, “Sorry, were we supposed to hang out tonight? I’ve been so busy with work and school that I didn’t check my schedule, I’m so sorry.” You release a shaky breath. 

Did you miss his texts? Why couldn’t you have checked your notifications before taking that ridiculously long nap—why didn’t you check your notifications after you woke up?

Forgetting a date with Jean would be the cherry on top of the horrible day you’re having. You feel guilty.

“Hey first off, stop apologizing. I just wanted to see you—relax a bit, yeah?” Jean closes the gap between you two in one stride and presses a slow, tender kiss to your forehead. After, he lovingly smoothes out the lines in your forehead with his thumb. “Thought you could appreciate some french dessert.” 

You open your mouth to respond but you don’t know what to say. You’ve only been with Jean for a little over a month now but his sensibility is unlike any person’s you’ve been with in the past. It’s enveloping—no matter where you go, Jean’s love surrounds you.

Noticing your perplexed expression, your boyfriend chuckled to himself, “You’re gonna at least pretend to be happy to see me or what?”

You shoot him a small, sad smile. “Oh Jean, I am—it’s just…I’m not in the greatest of moods today.” You never felt like you couldn’t be real around him. It was also a rule outlined in the very beginning of your blossoming relationship that there were to be no lies, even when telling the truth felt difficult. 

Jean nods slowly, “Yeah, that’s why I’m here. You sounded kind of, I dunno, mellow? When we were speaking over the phone earlier. You sounded tired.” 

He’s right. You were tired—still are.

“It’s all too much.” Everything—work, school, people, even yourself. 

He nods like he understands but he doesn’t say a word.

You filled the silence with, “Thanks for stopping by though babe, I’m gonna devour these.” Your eyes size up the box of chocolate danishes in his hand. You feel your stomach tighten in anticipation of scarfing them down once he leaves but Jean must’ve had other plans because he pulled the box away from you as you reached out to grab it. 

You frown. “Excuse me?”

“You’re trying to get me out the door but I’m not leaving,” He brushes past you and makes himself comfortable on your sofa, spreading his legs wide and leaning his back against the couch, beckoning you to join him with half lidded eyes and a sly smile.

“So it’s just to hell with that physics exam you have tomorrow afternoon, right?” Jean makes a face at you that screams ‘duh’

“Right.”

“Wrong,” You laughed out, rolling your eyes at his irresponsibility. “So, so wrong. Go home and study. I’m fine.”

“Are you though?”

“Doesn’t matter, I’ll figure it out.”

He frowns. “It does matter, I need to know that you’re okay. Or will be. Either way, I’m not leaving until I see it,” He stands up from his seat and pulls you into a tight hug where his chin rests on the top of your head. Your cheek is pressed against his broad chest and against his smooth cotton shirt that you’re convinced was recently taken out of the dryer because of how fresh it smells.

“I’m telling you that I’m gonna be okay, I just had an off morning,” you mumbled, your words sound small like you’re not sure if you even believe it.

“Remember when I was grumpy because of that stupid fight with Marco and you came over and made chocolate chip pancakes in my kitchen? I think about that a lot.”

You pull back from his tight embrace to swipe a thumb over his mouth. “Well, that was an urgent matter that called for my presence and pancakes—”

He interrupts you, sensing the incoming half-assed excuse as to why he didn’t have to visit you. “I was being a little b—tch to everyone and yet you didn’t run away. You walked right into my fire.”

“Fire or no fire, I want to be with you.” You said and he locks eyes with you again, in a way that lets you know he feels the same way about you.

 “I want to take care of you,” He whispered back. “You just gotta let me.”

You stop yourself from replying back that you don’t need him to do that, you don’t need anyone to do that but your mind goes back to that night in Jean’s kitchen, back to the memory of you flipping over golden, chocolate chip pancakes in his socks because your feet were cold and your own socks were too thin. You remember how badly you wanted to cheer him up, make him feel better even if it was just a little bit. 

“Okay, I’ll try,” You sighed in defeat with a lopsided smile painting your face.

Jean looks at you like you delivered him the moon.

it’s literally written on his forehead! he has a huge breeding kink and has to cum inside you each time you fuck because he can’t help it :( he takes his time and is extra slow so you can feel every throbbing inch of him inside you. you look so pretty all full with his seed, he even dips down to coo at you about how you’ll be the perfect mama <3

Levi Ackerman

Humanities strongest soldier.

The living spirit of the Survey Corps. Last surviving veteran soldier.

Starting from A Choice With No Regrets OVA, we can already see some of Levi’s defining traits. His deep care for his friends and comrades as well as his flaws.

Notice how Levi goes completely out of control and doesn’t go for the nape on the titan once he realizes his friends were eaten by it. Instead he tears it into pieces, completely destroys it, essentially torturing it before taking out it’s nape and killing it.

It shows how much family and friendship means to him, but also demonstrates his violent behaviour. How he would do anything to protect and avenge his loved ones.

Levi Ackerman’s Friendship:

Additionally Levi only joined the Survey Corps just to kill Erwin, showing avid hate in the manga for him, but all that hatred vanishes when Erwin tells him how it wasn’t his fault that his friends died, but it was the titans.

Erwin inspires Levi in this moment, and Levi sees Erwin as someone he could follow and trust.

Erwin is the first person to respect Levi, and their close friendship is one that will stay with him for the rest of his life.

This is how their relationship ended, with Levi acting selfishly and letting Erwin rest instead of dragging him back to fight and become the devil.

Levi to Erwin ‘give up on your dreams and die.’

He said this becuase this is what Erwin needed to hear. It’s about Levi releasing Erwin from his burden. That Levi does this for Erwin, even if it hurts himself to do it, because it was the only plan Erwin gave where Levi was guaranteed to survive. He refused to use the plan Levi gave of Hange’s squad acting as bait so that Erwin could get away with Eren, and he’d sacrifice himself for Erwin.

It gives Erwin strength, as his dream was the only thing of importance at that instance, so Levi saying that to him was the push needed for him to carry out the plan. So, Levi said what needed to be said for Erwin’s sake.

When Erwin died in Shiganshina, Levi let him rest in peace instead of giving him titan serum. He didn’t want Erwin to have to lead any more soldiers to their deaths despite it meaning that he had to say goodbye to his oldest friend, and the person he loves. 

After doing so, Levi dedicated his life to avenging Erwin. He spent the majority of the final volumes trying to avenge Erwin, and the soldiers who died in the rts arc by killing Zeke.

Levi and Hange’s first interaction also occured during ACWNR.

They too show kindness to Levi, and see how Levi could be an asset to the SC. They try to form a bond with him, but their enthusiasm makes Levi almost pull a knife and kill them. They are the first of the soldiers, excluding Erwin and Mike, to show that they didn’t care that he came from the underground, and that they admire his strength and skills.

Over the years, they worked together, especially when Hange became the commander of the Survey Corps. Levi lost a lot of people throughout his life, with Hange being his last friend to die. 

And the last words he said to them were ones he repeated from Erwin. This is his way of honouring Hange, and shows that both of them miss their old friends and comrades. He said this to Hange, becuase this is what they needed to hear, their final push into acting, and sacrificing themselves.

Also, Levi saying ‘see you Hange’ foreshadows that Levi may see his comrades once again, which he does, in the smoke after killing Zeke and helping take down Eren.

It not only pays tribute to his fallen comrades, as it was the line they used when entering the Survey Corps, but it also somewhat reclaims it again after the phrase was coopted by the yaegerists.

Levi made both commanders smile in their last moments. His friendship with them is one of the strongest in AoT. It shows that Levi values his friends.

Levi let Erwin rest, with only his promise of taking down the beast titan keeping him fighting. He let Erwin go peacefully instead of dragging him back to hell like Floch wanted him to. He acted selfishly and chose Erwin over humanity in that moment.

He chose Erwin. Which is something Levi would not regret. He chose to let Erwin die, chose for him to die peacefully and die a human instead of forcing him back into this hell.

Levi doesn’t regret the decision he made of following Erwin all those years ago. Nor does he regret the choice of letting Erwin pass on. He preferred Erwin to rest peacefully rather than be dragged back to earth.

He says that Armin had the same look in his eyes as you, talking about the SC and his friends, but also means he’s talking about Erwin mostly, he saw intelligence in Armin, but he didn’t choose to use the serum on him becuase of that, it was becuase of Erwin.

Levi is comparing Armin’s eyes to the starry-eyed survey corps members’ and their dreams, and this emphasises how Levi fought for his comrades. 

“Your eyes” isn’t just about Erwin, it’s plural (in japanese). Levi carries the weight of all his dead comrades/friends, fighting for their dreams and humanity’s future so that Armin will make them come true.

But this whole arc from Levi’s perspectives is about Erwin, and fulfilling his promise to him, so the fact that it isn’t just talking about Erwin only doesn’t take away from the meaning..

What it means to be a soldier in AoT according to Levi.

He says he doesn’t mind playing the violent role, that he’d do it to save himself and others around him, so that the rest of humanity doesn’t need to take part in the violence.

This demonstrates his selfless behaviour, but highlights how he resorts to violence. That becuase of his childhood in the underground, and harsh lifestyle they live because of the constant threat titan’s are, are a huge impact on Levi’s life, and how he acts.

And of course, making choices with no regrets. All the choices he has made are one’s that he doesn’t regret, even if they may be considered ‘bad’ becuase regretting leads to more mistakes.

The cost and burden of sacrifice. He has lost so many of his comrades, all of his friends from the veterans of the SC. His mother, and Kenny who he saw as a father figure. His first two friends Furlan and Isabel, and his entire squad. He loses Erwin the man he loves, and then Hange, the last important person alive to him, excluding his new squad from the 104th.

And the true meaning of the survey corps and how it ties in with the alliance forming. The survey corps were never formed to trample over the lives of others unlike the military police pre timeskip and Eren as well as the yeagerists post timeskip. How Levi sees the Survey Corps as one fighting for them to have good lives, free from fear of titans and enemies.

Even so, Levi isn’t the flawless, perfect soldier he’s mostly presented to be. There’s been a couple of times when he miscalculated, or acted out of line. The most prominent examples are when he lashed out on Historia to push her to into the decision of becoming Queen. How everyone around him thought he was going too far, but he carried on, doing what he needed to do to ensure Erwin’s plans would work.

Basically what makes Levi’s character so appealing isn’t his “strongest soldier” exterior, it’s his inner struggle with the promise he made to Erwin which ties in with his human flaws, his experience about the world, from childhood to adulthood, and how many people he has lost, but how he keeps on fighting, and his guiding presence especially in the uprising arc. How his squad and survey corps soldiers trust him, and so does his commader. Erwin let’s him make his own decision. And Levi makes the final decision for Erwin.

Additionally, Levi is a character that shares some of the most important and story defining dynamics in the series with Erwin and Hange, as well as Eren and both his squads. He trusts them just as much as they trust him, and he fights to avenge them. 

How he never regrets a decision, nor does he let other characters regret their choices. He is a source of support and advice to many.

He sees his comrades in the smoke in the last chapter, which tells us how much friendship means to him. He sounds so done, and looks it, as he knows this is the last time he will fight, and now he can rest.

He also knows that his friends have been watching, and that he has avenged their deaths.

We see Levi cry for the first time as well, here, when he knows that his friends have been with him, and the last time he see’s them. 

Additionally, Levi was Erwin’s last thread of humanity and that the crate scene was the greatest act of love either of them could ever give one another.

I think Levi’s character is one that alot of people tend to get wrong or misundertand, or just fight over.

He is one of the most complex characters written by Isayama, and is adored by many fans. He’s one of the most popular characters in aot.

He is more than just strength, good looks and skills.
