Selfish is Eren’s trait.

No matter how much time changes.

Many people has been saying that Eren is selfless, how the Rumbling is the only choice to save Paradis so he had to set aside his emotion for greater good. While yes, that is true, it’s not quite right. Remember chapter 131?

Eren himself said he was selfish. He was disappointed the world is not as beautiful as in Armin’s book. He was disappointed humanity outside the walls exist. He wished to wipe them all away. But still, no matter how much he wished for it to happen, it’s still wrong. Just like Eren said in chapter 130, all the future he saw is still far away. Maybe things could change. Maybe his wish won’t come true, but at least things would turn out to be morally right. That’s why he decided to sit back and watch.

But no. Even after Zeke (another royal blood) and Azumabito (the mediator to the outside world) entered Paradis, they’re not giving him a great option. They’re blinded by their own selfish desire. Azumabito just wanted to use Paradis as a cashgrab, while Zeke wished for Eldia’s euthanasia. Paradis doesn’t give him another option either, even though the time is running out.

Of course Eren would snap. 

Fuck them all. Fuck them all, who won’t give Paradis a chance. Fuck them all, who choose to stay in their comfort zone. Time is running out. All lives matter, including Paradis. If the world refused to see Paradis as a part of humanity, then he’ll reject them as parts of humanity too. If Paradis refuse to move, then he’ll force them to move. Better bring out his dream to life if that’s the case.

It was all too convenient; the time, the circumstances. It was all matching with his dream to exterminate his enemies; to become free from shackles; to expand his horizon outside the walls.

He has the power, and he only have a few years to live, what’s the more appropriate time than now?

But still.  He’s painfully aware it’s wrong.  What’s he about to do is a one-sided massacre.

If I had to say, Eren has several options:

Wipe out the rest of the world

Let the world trample Paradis

Run away and forget it all

Share his future memories, and decide things with his friends.

Option #4 is already out of the window, because he doesn’t trust his friends enough to let them decide their future. He believes all the hatred and bloodshed will not stop until he buries the world to the ground, to avoid them laying a hand on Paradis ever again. He believes if he doesn’t do this, his friends would continue to live in misery until they die.

Option #3 is also out, since he had to move forward no matter what, so he’s left with 2 choices.

Again, he throw away option #2, because no matter how much he think about it, there’s no way he’d let his own people being trampled by the world.

So yeah, option #1 is to go, then. But he knew, it’s wrong.  He will take all the lives of innocent people. He will drag his friends into danger, he will hurt them, he will disappoint everyone. He will become a monster. There’s no guarantee Paradis will strive once this is all over. There might be another hell, he knew.

That’s why, even though he knows what to do, even though things is going according to his dream, he broke down. He still asked for forgiveness, even though he knew full well he’s the one at fault.

He couldn’t take it anymore. His guilt is eating him alive. 

At this time, he wished for an escape. He’s starting to reconsider option #3. And that’s where Mikasa came in.

Mikasa, the girl who sticks to him no matter what. Mikasa, who saved him, no matter how hopeless the situation is.

Maybe this time, she could save him too. He relies on her, he clings to her answer for dear life. Maybe he could stop him. Maybe things would turn out okay if she give a different answer.

But no. Things didn’t work out as he wished for. Mikasa didn’t see through his suffering, she is clueless as ever; so he had to move on with his initial plan. When Eren said it’s a perfect timing, he really meant that, since he could snap out of his emotional self and focus on what he needs to do. Back to option #1.

This is one of the moments where Eren’s half-assed-ness selfishness shine. If he truly cares for the rest of the world, if he truly cares for his friends’ feeling, he should’ve open up more. He should’ve told Mikasa his dream, because only then, she could understand where Eren is coming from. If so, maybe Mikasa could told him to give up his dream, just like Levi to Erwin.

But no. Until the very end, he didn’t told his friends anything, because he already decided. He didn’t want his friends to stop him at this point, not yet. He has to do what he needs to do first. Not even in the moment of weakness he’d let Mikasa stop him. Because he knew. If he let his emotion and moral get the better of him, he’d never find a solace. Sure, maybe he could live the rest of his life with Mikasa in peace, but he wouldn’t be able to live with another greater regrets.

He chose the solace instead of salvation from his sins. So he turned his back from SC and never came back.

Eren infiltrated Marley. He experienced it firsthand how, even outside the walls, bad and good people were all the same. Reiner’s confession surprised him in a good way, because of  how similar they are than he originally thought.

Both of them are moving with such selfish desire, under the pretense of “for the greater good.” Reiner destroyed the walls because he wanted to become a hero, while Eren is about to destroy the world because he wants humanity to perish. Their guilt is eating them alive to this day.

But Willy’s speech reminding him once again, that, in the end, they’re all the same, they’re just one side of the coin.

Willy reminded him why he’s doing all of these in the first place. He reminded him of his initial motivation.

It resonates with him so much that it hurt. Listening to Reiner and Willy gave him comfort,  that everything is not his, nor everybody’s fault. There’s no right or wrong. Maybe, everyone is born this way. Even if he moves with selfish desire, the world really doesn’t give him much choice so it doesn’t really matter. It’s just the matter of who will keep going until the very end.  

He keeps moving forward until his objective is fulfilled, no matter how much he suffers, no matter how much his friends suffer. But deep down, he wanted to be saved. So much that during the Rumbling, his mind regressed into a child, because it’s easier for him to kill “bad people” to reach his “freedom.” This is why he didn’t fight the Alliance seriously. If Eren really wanted the Rumbling to continue, he could’ve eliminated them on the get-go, or sent one of his titans to remove the explosives around his neck, or prevented Armin from reaching out to Zeke, anything. But he didn’t. Because now that his objective is fulfilled, as Reiner said, he wants someone to stop him. He decides when is the right time to stop; and that’s after he destroy Fort Salta, humanity’s last weapon.

TLDR; Eren is selfish for  letting his dream get the better of him; for deciding what’s best for Paradis himself; for dragging his dad and his friends into this mess; for choosing this bloody path; for wanting to be saved after everything he had done. But if he hadn’t done this, who knows what hell will await Paradis. He won’t take that risk, ever. Eren is aware of all of this; thus why, he asked Mikasa to forget about him.

His selfishness makes him a true monster, yet at the same time, a really flawed human being.

Eren Yeager decides where to start, and where to end his journey. He really is selfish until the end. 

thinking about how Gabi shot both Eren and Floch, who are the most important characters on the yaegerists' side, and how Mikasa finished off both of them

teamwork ❤️

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.

Just thinking that this has no meaning or that it was only a drawing mistake makes me so sad.

I just want to see hange one more time I don't even care if it's in a flashback 😭😭😭

But I can totally imagine snk ending and all of us like: hey! Do you remember when Isayama had a drawing mistake that seemed like Hange was crying and we thought we were going to have a flashback or something ???😭😭😭

I don't want to believe it.

NO

I will not believe anything until it is 100% confirmed.

So these are the official spoilers...

Everything ok with snk and I have only respect for Isayama but I personally am not liking the direction the story is going.

I am so confused, I am so confused that I don't even know what to feel anymore.

I know I say this in almost all my posts but Hange didn't deserve to die.

Letting Hange die was a mistake.

It may sounds kinda bad but I hope when Levi thinks of his dead comrades give Hange some more time.

Levi is alive thanks to Hange, everyone is alive thanks to Hange

And they were together all this time

I know I am the only one who keeps thinking of ch132 but It was so unnecessary 😭😭

But at least for now everyone is safe. Or so it seems...

What the actually fuck chapter 136 ?? Now I can officially say that the chances of me liking snk's ending are very slim...

It's ok...

I am disappointed and sad but i guess this is the direction isayama wanted to go so i dont have much to say about it.

I just really wish things had been different

While everyone is confused and upset with the spoilers i'm just here posting Hange because i miss her so much

Not accurate translation

'Goodbye ...Eren'

😭😭😭

My boys!!! 😭😭😭

I was never prepared for an ending without Jean and Connie

I wanted to say goodbye somehow talking a little about them

I always felt very close to Jean and Connie because they are both the characters that most resemble me.

😭

Connie always seemed to me the character with the most sensitive heart

Despite all his suffering and having lost his entire family, Connie always cared about his friends.

My heart is broken just by thinking how he must have felt all this time taking care of his mother and still fighting for humanity.

And Jean I am so proud of him 😭 He is one of my favorite characters, one of the few characters that NEVER disappointed me. The way he matured and grew up all these years makes me so emotional I I really wanted to see him have the life he deserved.

Now I can say that the ending of snk lost its meaning a bit without Jean and Connie I feel like I care less now.

Definitely if I can't see them being happy and alive then I'm not that excited about the ending 💔💔💔

And I still can't believe they're really gone

Like nobody cares but I felt like I had to do this.

these are my goodbye words to the manga of snk:

(Sorry for my ingles)

I have my own little personal thoughts about the final chapter, I'm still trying to process the information and recover from the emotional shock I felt while reading it. I am so confused I'm not sure what I feel right now 😂

But nothing changes how grateful I am to Isayama for all these years.

I love snk so much. I knew that no matter how the ending was shown, that was not going to change.

I really had a great time all these years, especially meeting Hange was something very meaningful to me. I'm crying I'm so sad and I wish it had lasted longer...

But anyway my favorite moments of the chapter were my three babies, I mean I knew I was going to cry but damn ... Mikasa, Armin and Eren 💙

that will be really hard to watch in the anime

(And I miss them ALL already😭😭😭)

this manga save me and I'm lucky to be able to say that I was part of this when it wasn't over yet :')

Thank you so much for all these years, thank you so much to the levihan and Hange fandom for share most of the experience with me 💕

Thank you to Isayama for being a genius and to the little me who decided to watch snk and got so excited about the first episode that she watched it twice in a row

(What a weirdo)

Also another uninteresting little thing I probably won't post for a while, it's not like I do it often either but I'm just saying

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

mikasa:

due to the twists and turns that attack on titan provides, mikasa’s character arc is largely overlooked. “ereh” is one of the first things people think of when “mikasa” is brought up. but obviously, she is more than someone in love with that freedom obsessed conflicted idk i can go on and on guy.

mikasa represents pride, armin represents hope, eren represents freedom. i wrote about freedom before (i linked it at the bottom of this post), but what is pride? it is to feel a sense of satisfaction with themself.

mikasa is someone who values the relationships she has built throughout her life. in a world filled with disappointment and is stuck in a cycle of hate, mikasa ackerman is the ray of sunshine. nothing is stable; from households to government, to history, but to believe in the relationships between people is the only thing worth holding onto.

some may belittle her by saying she is simply like that because of her ackerman name. but can you do what she has done? can you continue to believe in someone who has disappointed you plenty?

mikasa is the beauty in this cruel world she was born in. i guess some people don’t understand that she was one of the first characters to be developed. she learned to live without eren in chapter 7.

“If I can't, then I'll just die. But if I win I live. Unless I fight, I cannot win” is the mentality of this character. she saved gabi, the person who killed one of her closest friends, being able to look beyond hatred, something the world cannot seem to let go of.

in the end, mikasa values her friends. she free of ymir’s curse never bound to the chains of revenge ymir embedded onto eren. she fights against the inevitable results of that revenge.

“i am strong!!” yes. strong-minded. strong-willed.

so how is her character going to come to an end?

mikasa will be the wings of freedom

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

floch:

hatred, disgust, maybe even abhorrence are most of the reactions to floch forster’s character. and that is understandable. people hate floch because he wanted erwin to live, described erwin as a devil, and dissed armin. people hate floch because he didn’t understand what the scouts went through prior to him joining them. people hate floch because he is a yeagerist. people hate floch because he was the cause of hange’s death. and there is much more.

something i believe people don’t realize is that floch is a representation of the audience/reader.

rationally speaking, saving erwin is the obvious choice (at first), but throughout the series, armin’s character had been developed in front of our eyes. erwin is an established character, hence why people are more attached to armin.

after witnessing all of the deaths derived from erwin’s lead, floch grew to despise him, but he understands that erwin is the only person capable to lead.

bias. that is what a lot of attack on titan fans are. and what angers me is that they don’t notice that they are biased.

many proudly claimed that they are yeagerists and are for eren. they say that after three seasons of supporting eren, how are they supposed to hate him now? dude they’re literally floch kinnies.

from that reaction alone, floch embodies the general audience. at first they agree that erwin should be the one to live, then they are in support of eren despite him continuing the cycle of hate. honestly, people are so stupid.

floch provides an opposing view. and i admire him because he strongly believes that it serves a good purpose. he truly believes that working with eren and following his ideals will benefit the world. maybe he is right. but either way, i don’t agree.

even so, i think floch’s position in the story is highly important. without him, we wouldn’t be able to understand the opposing side, whether we agree with them or not.

floch’s character offers a different perspective. people are in support of the main characters because the story is following them. like gabi. people quickly hated on her but disregard the propaganda that has been shoved in her face since she is a child. we’re told that brushing our teeth twice a day is healthy, but then all of a sudden it is not. wouldn’t that confuse you because you’ve been told that brushing your teeth twice a day is healthy?

being open-minded will always be better than being stubborn. trying to understand floch’s point of view is understanding why the majority of the attack on titan fandom his terrible comprehension skills.

so why do people who agree with floch, hate him? they see a reflection of themselves and disapprove of it, but they don’t want to admit it to themselves that they are just as blind as floch forster.

sorry for dissing the fandom. AHAHA ! i just get really annoyed with like 75% of the fandom because they don’t understand the significance of a character, scene, or other aspects of the series. there is always a purpose for each character and moment.

i don’t love floch but i don't hate him. although i do think his character is vital to the story.

MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN ANIME + MANGA SPOILERS

gabi:

gab is a controversial character. and many don’t like her for her way of thinking and her actions, like people’s reactions/feelings towards floch (i linked that post below). they disregard the fact that they are bias towards the island of paradis people.

through the time span from 2013 to 2019, we’ve only seen the perspective of those who are on the island. as the audience, we understand the hurt, trauma, and many terrible adversities those on the island have gone through, therefore, empathizing with them. we later learn that the marleyans are in charge of that oppression and oppress the eldian on the motherland as well.

gabi, a child in marley, grew up in a place that constantly pushes propaganda onto their people. they made people like karina braun, reiner’s mother, believe those lies implemented into their lives.

we are told that it is healthy to sleep 8-10 hours our entire life, but what if all of a sudden it is proven otherwise? wouldn’t it impact our views? wouldn't some people question what they've been told and be in denial as well?

gabi and falco grew up their entire lives believing that eldians deserve this “repercussion”. how do you blame a child who believed the lies she’s been fed since the very beginning of her life?

falco understands that the marleyans have done much wrong because he was present during the conversation between reiner and eren. he gained a new understanding when “reiner, i am the same as you” was uttered from eren’s mouth. whether it's a blessing or a curse, falco understands the mindset of eren and the reasons of why what happened during tyber's speech, happened.

besides gabi’s way of thinking, people dislike her due to the fact that she killed sasha. i understand the hurt as i was distraught when i read that chapter as well, but understand that sasha also killed gabi’s friends and contributed to eren's attack. i understand that it doesn’t justify murdering someone, but why do people hold gabi accountable and not sasha? reason being point-blank, people are biased towards sasha. she is a lovable character, some would even categorize her as the comedic relief, the twin flame to connie. that’s why it hurt so much.

another point is the fact that gabi's character is parallel to eren. the series began with eren cursing at the titans, wondering why is it that people within the walls live in a constant fear due to the titans existence. they did no wrong. why were they being attacked?

why were the innocent eldians in marley attacked? were they responsible for their government’s actions? weren’t they just as oppressed as the eldians on the island? gabi saw the friends that she grew up with die just as eren saw his mother die. so why do people hate her more than eren? why don't they hold eren accountable? once again, it's due to them being biased.

gabi escaped with falco and went to live with sasha's parents, which prompted her character arc. she began to understand the eldian’s on the island. they were not devils as she was told her entire life. they were mere humans who wish to live in freedom.

later, when she met with niccolo, she then truly understood the weight of her actions. only then did she realize that she contributed to the cycle of hate.

in the recent chapter, chapter 138, gabi turned into a titan, which ultimately led her to death's arms. that in it of itself is really telling of her overall character. at first, i didn’t realize this but she cursed people of the islands for having devil blood and for being devils themselves. she thought that if she sided with marley she would be “honorary marleyan”. after eren’s attack, she realized her perspective was wrong. her efforts to suppress her blood was all for naught.

gabi dying from turning into a titan makes us, the readers, understand that at the end of the day, she is an eldian. through it all, she cannot escape what is in her blood.

in hindsight, i thought it was a mundane ending to her character, but i later realized that it was very good ending to her character. i wonder if at that point, she truly accepted who she is. is it a bittersweet ending, or simply a somber one? it's all up to your interpretation of it.

in the end, all characters within this series have done wrong. evidently, some more than others, but the world isn’t simply black or white. it is a vast of grey and the only choices can make are not right or wrong, but better or worse.

i don’t love gabi but i don’t hate her either. although, i think she is an important character within the story, much like floch. compared to eren, she is a different side of the same coin. driven by revenge.

what i love about her character is that she was able to break free from the cycle of hate to create her own opinions, to break free from what the government has told her to believe. not many have that opportunity or luxury to say they have done the same, whether it be within the story, or real life.

wow i wrote a lot
