Stop this, yes levi cares about eren's safety cuz hes important to humanity nothing more, hes fucking RESPONSIBLE for his safety, its his fucking job, i honestly have no idea why you people ship this pair at fucking all
I usually try to keep the hate here to a minimum but well…
Listen, I have no problem whatsoever if you hate ereri, hate the ship but don’t you dare hate on the people who love the pair, I thought we’ve been through this already
Ok, I’m gonna start off by stating some of the reasons why I ship ereri (since you’re implying that there’s no reason for us to ship the pair)
First, we know that Levi is confirmed to be anything but straight ‘‘gay or asexual’‘ by Isayama himself x , We basically were told that Levi has no interest in women and only likes tall people ‘’ cough, Eren.. cough’‘
And since you called it, let’s have some canon ereri facts, shall we?
- Levi was the only one who was able to see through Eren, he was the only one who knew his true self from the very first moment he saw him, that’s why he asked to be responsible for him, he believes he’s the only one who could stop Eren in case he ‘‘lost control’‘ by killing him
after the court scenewhere he HAD to beat him up, Levi who only cares about Eren’s safety asked him if he hated him, now that doesn’t sound like someone who doesn’t care
Levi knew he went a little overboard, and he wanted to make sure that Eren who he doesn’t care about didn’t hate him, which is why he also looks so very relieved after Eren’s answer
also part of me feels that Levi sees him self in Eren, he was in his situation before
We could say he had a soft spot for him since the beginning
Now, after Eren joined the survey corps, Levi went out of his way to figure out a way in which he could stop Eren if things got out of hand without killing him
Now why would he even bother if he himself knows Eren is a ‘‘monster’‘ as stated in the VS (x,x)?
( the VS needs a whole post itself, it basically revolves around ereri and oh boy the way Levi sees Eren is just fascinating, Levi refers to Eren as a monster with perfect fearsome beauty, he also reveals that nothing can stop this monster from doing what it wants, not even love, Levi understands that the love is more powerful than anything in the world, he is not a cold person who is unable to love, he accepts Eren as he is, he even wants him to let it go and be himself ‘‘a monster’‘ that is rejected by everyone but him)
after Eren has turned into a titan by accident, Levi was the only one who defended him instead of being prepared to finish him off, he already did take a liking to him, not to mention that he’s the only one among the group who understood him perfectly
He even went to check on him, on how he feels
Now, after Levi’s squad got killed by the female titan, we could clearly see that Levi really cares about Eren as a person not just a pawn to defeat titans
(If you watched the VS btw, you could hear the desperate tone in Levi’s voice when calling Eren after getting him out of the female titan’s mouth)
after returning to the castle, Levi tried to comfort Eren, he knows he felt guilty and he wanted to take his pain away, and seeing someone like Levi being ignored but still trying to get a reaction out of someone is a rare sight, I have to say/
Not only that but he felt like a burden had been lifted off of his shoulders after seeing Eren’s smile
After revealing the true identity of the female titan, Levi was in no condition to defend Eren so he had to stay behind, didn’t stop him from worrying tho
Levi was told by Erwin to stay put, but he didn’t listen even though he knew that Hange was there, heck the whole survey corps members were there including Mikasa, the strongest one in the survey corps after him
Yet, he was the one who saved him (that’s the only time he would have to disobey Erwin’d orders) to save the bae
Levi constantly worrying about Eren is a normal thing
It is a fact that he cares about him more than anyone of his squad members, and not just cuz he’s humanity’s hope
Again, he was the only one who took notice of his ‘‘terrible’‘ condition
In the last panel, instead of giving him orders he apologized, he actually apologized for always depending on him, they were on the verge of death and he still gave him a choice, even if that choice costed them their life, he didn’t care about the life of humanity’s hope, but for Eren himself
So, yeah I understand your point of view, and it’s not like we saw his smile for the first time because of Eren or anything
Nope, I believe that their relationship is strictly…
also, I’m pretty sure the animators ship them as well, or we wouldn’t have this
I could go on and on and on all day if you need, my point is we do have lots or reasons to ship ereri, we don’t need it to be confirmed ‘‘canon’‘ to ship it, it’s already sailing itself
