Shingeki no Budget- I mean Kyojin!
1. favorite female character - Mikasa!! She’s a really multifaceted character; she’s been through a lot (lost TWO families, jesus), is a total badass, and really cares for the family she has left (Eren and Armin).
2. favorite male character - I really like Armin ;~; especially since he’s seen as weak but proves himself to everyone; even a lot of the fandom seems to say Armin is worthless, but Armin has saved people’s asses tons of times (most recently, fan favorite Jean, so!)
3. favorite book/season/etc - I guess I’ll just go with favorite manga chapter, and say the one recently where they’re fighting Titans, Jean is unconscious, and Armin is holding his body and defending him. Actually that chapter was kind of really horrific, but Armin my bby ;;
4. favorite episode - Not that I particularly ENJOYED the episode, but when Eren got eaten early in the series I’d had no idea it was going to happen and I just kind of spent 5 minutes going “wtf wtf” over and over, ahaha. other than that, I like the OVA; it was very Hanji-centric and a breath of fresh air when the anime was busy turning into a pile of garbage.
5. favorite cast member - since it’s not live-action I’ll just use this as an excuse to talk about how EXCEEDINGLY GREAT Hanji is. Kodansha really earned my respect by sticking to their guns about Hanji’s gender, and Hanji is just. so great for so many reasons. They’re smart and eccentric, but absolutely a baller that will not hesitate to fuck shit up when necessary, and I love their interactions with everyone, Levi in particular :>
6. my favorite ship - eren/armin omfg… childhood gay babies. I love these two so much, for so many reasons. I could write a book about it LMAo ;; Some of my other favorites are Mikasa/Sasha (so underappreciated!!), Levi/Erwin, and Ymir/Historia :> Jean/Armin can come, too.
7. a character I’d die defending - You don’t even wanna know how many times I’ve gone to bat for Hanji, omg. I actually got this nasty trio of people calling me names and blogging a bunch of derogatory stuff about me for a day, before I’d even watched or read the series, because I had the audacity to point out they were being kind of rude and disrespectful to other fans haha.
8. a character I just can’t sympathize with - the Titan Shifter trio… I’m sorry omg I don’t care about other people liking them, and I know they’re really popular, but it’s really hard for me to feel bad for them at all.
9. a character I grew to love - Erwin! I was kind of neutral about him at first, iirc? but over time he really grew on me, to the point where I was mega distressed about all the foreshadowing with him ahaha.
10. my anti otp - lol omfg I’m honestly afraid to even say it, buuut it’s Levi/Eren. FUN FACT: I actually didn’t mind it at first, to the point that I’d even saved a really well drawn illustration of them, because wow it was gorgeous. I guess it’s a case of “fandom making something terrible”? Even before Levi’s age came to light, it seemed everywhere I turned, the majority of people were focusing on and glorifying the courthouse scene and making it into something really, um, abusive, and/or turning Eren into some googly-eyed moe puppy that just follows Levi mindlessly. Not my thing, not even remotely.
