Aot Ymir - Tumblr Posts

Another sad AOT post (WARNING: It's kind of long because of the pictures :)). I saw a bunch of TikToks and Tumblr posts about random sad AOT facts and then I thought about some of the ones I saw a little more, and I realised something so damn ironic and sad.

Majority of the main characters who died never achieved their goal or desires, regardless of how trivial it was:

Eren never achieved freedom for himself and was rather a slave to it. He also never got to live his life in peace with Mikasa and Armin like he wanted

Sasha never got to see her people take back their island from the titans (and those who hated Eldians) and farm for more cattle like she wanted. Even after Paradis became "independent" and the titans disappeared, she had to fight in the Survey Corps until she died

Hange never got to see a flying titan and never got to properly ride on the Cart Titan's back

Erwin never got to the basement and never found out the secret of the titans

Petra never got to marry Levi (regardless of who you ship with Petra or Levi in AOT, it is canon that she liked him)

Bertholdt never confessed his feelings to Annie and never got to date her like he wanted

Ymir never got to marry Historia

Hannes never got to avenge Eren's mother, Carla, because he was eaten by the same titan who ate her

Kenny Ackerman never obtained the power of the Founding Titan like he wanted and never got to see the world the way Uri did

Keith Shadis never got to become a hero or "someone special." As the watchers, we can think of him as a hero who sacrificed himself to help humanity, but in the show itself, no one will remember his name because they didn't even know he was on the boat and they didn't know he helped them before they left the port.

Zeke never got to experience life after he finally felt that he wanted to live again. He had a very late realisation of this, but it still counts. After Armin reminded him in the Paths about why we as humans continue to live, he decided that he wanted to live again after reminiscing about his time with Mr Ksaver. Levi killed him before he could

Compared to all the characters who lived and either achieved their goal or never really had goals in the first place, it just makes me so sad thinking about the irony of it all. All those who died, morally grey or not, never got to achieve their dreams because of their circumstances and the cruel world they were born into. Isayama when I catch you

the queen's sorrow

knight and queen but make it tragic

This is the last time we are going to see Ymir.

I knew it was going to be painful but this is just too much.

She looks so sad and soulless she doesn't even look like Ymir...

Seeing her like this is very hard, you can see from her face that she doesn't want to die.

Ymir probably thought about Historia until the end, I'm sure she thought that she wanted to see Historia one more time and yet she kept her promise and died for what she believed was right. And I love her so much for that 😭😭

Ymir was one of those characters whose story is just perfect. From the beginning till the end her whole story line was perfect

She was one of the most honourable characters in snk and one of my favorite characters 💔

132 chapters and I still miss her so much...

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

freedom:

in light of the last chapter of attack on titan coming on april 9th, i wanted to talk about the constant reoccurring theme of the story.

due to the vast amount of people, perspectives and interpretations vary. freedom is something everyone wants but have differing definitions of. when you first think of that word you may think of eren’s true love, the opportunity to express yourself, to become whatever you want to be, and etc. attack on titan displays the various ideas of freedom.

admittedly, i could be wrong because my interpretation of these characters may be different from others.

eren yeager. FREEDOM !!! YEAAA !! but to him, what is freedom? at the start of the story, freedom is living with nothing holding you back, not living in fear of titans. but the existence of titans means never going beyond the walls, lions constantly peering over mice. but his idea of freedom changes after the kiss of true love.

a new understanding is gained. he is blinded by revenge. but is it his revenge or is it someone else’s? ymir, the slave to the king and now a slave to her own misfortune. driven by anger and vengeance of the world. why did she have to be ostracized? why did it have to be her? revenge is freedom in her mind.

carla yeager, a woman who believes that people are born special and not made special. she finds that freedom is being who you are. she doesn’t seek something to make her special. when grisha and sadis talk about the “special” people in the scout regiment, carla scoffs. she portrays a mundane view of freedom.

erwin smith, a man who seeks the truth. what is freedom to him? avenging his father? atoning to the deaths he lead many to? no. it’s to find out the realities of the world that was stripped from the people of the island. although he never fulfills his idea of freedom, he was able to rest. even if he had all of this need to understand, he accepts what he knows. is that freedom? is acceptance freedom? i don’t know myself.

throughout the time when eren had the founding titan, ymir sees eren. ymir understands eren. i believe this story is to depict empathy, not mere sympathy. whether you agree with how eren or ymir or carla or any other character’s viewpoint on freedom, isayama wants you to understand. omg count how many times i’ve used that word.

each character experiences different things, each character responds to things differently, and each character can be seen as human. the variations of people are depicted throughout characters of attack on titan.

the supposedly “last panel” in the first picture above, is a man holding a child saying “you are free”. there are lots of theories on who these people are, but the most interesting aspect, to me, is how that child is free.

in the end, what is freedom? what is it to you?

another one thank u 👏🏾

I missed these girls so much that couldn't help but drew them before the final of the final of the... well you know.

However, after the part, I am just very unstable and kinda numb thinking nothing but the end of the story.

I hope, it will please someone at least.
