"they ruin my life" *(affectionate)*

I think Naruto antagonists and deuteragonists are more interesting than the protagonists • I like KPop too (Teen Top, EXID, and Pentagon) • I want to make comics 🥹

Sometimes I'd like to know what Kishimoto must think of his fans.

He made racism Tobirama's only personality. And fans say he loved the Uchiha.

He created two female characters obsessed with a boy. And fans are fighting to see which of Sakura and Hinata is better.

He makes Shikamaru a sexist. Fans say that Sasuke, who treats everyone the same, is a misogynist.

He makes Naruto the world's greatest promise-breaker. And fans call him a ray of sunshine.

He writes Sakura as a toxic girl. Fans identify with her.

He writes Rin off as a 12-year-old child soldier who's afraid to die before telling Kakashi she loves him. Fans call her a selfish bitch for rejecting Obito, even though the guy in question sees nothing wrong with it.

He drew on his own relationship with his brother to write Naruto and Sasuke. He makes Naruto say that he sees Sasuke as a brother. And fans say he's queerbaited them.

He makes Neji die to bring Naruto and Hinata closer together. NaruHina fans reduce Neji to Boruto's uncle.

He made Sasuke and Itachi blood brothers. Fans ship them together.

He turned the Hokages into dictators, constantly committing crimes against humanity. Fans congratulate Kakashi and Naruto on becoming Hokage.

He claims that Sasuke is more realistic than Naruto, and that he himself would be unable to forgive those who harmed his family. Fans call Sasuke a selfish emo.

I could go on and on, but it would take all day.

Can we talk about Erwin’s pain tolerance?

Yes. Yes we can. Apologies Anon, I've had your ask in my inbox since November, which is a crime. However please know that barely a day has gone by without me thinking about this.

I think Erwin's sheer balls to the wall courage and resilience are often overlooked. He always led from the front and he was insanely brave. He had complete disregard for his own safety, and never hesitated to risk his own life and limb, either on the field of battle or during the uprising. 

One of the things it’s easy to forget, particularly if you read the manga as it was being published, is that all the events from the Battle of Trost to the Return to Shiganshina happen within a matter of months, and the uprising happens only about a fortnight after Erwin loses his arm rescuing Eren. 

“Loses” his arm is putting it lightly of course. Erwin’s arm is bitten by a Titan, he continues shouting orders, while hanging from the Titan's mouth, frees himself, apparently by slicing off his arm, and rescues Eren by slicing through the Armoured Titan’s fist. He then makes it back to the walls before finally collapsing, presumably from shock and loss of blood.  He spends the next few days in a coma, unclear how many, and when he awakens he almost immediately starts planning to overthrow the royal government while joking about his missing arm. As you do.

As part of this plan Erwin allows himself to be captured by government forces, who torture him and threaten to hang him.  All this with a freshly amputated arm, and presumably no pain relief lol. Madman.

(Love the way that Nile is the one who looks afraid here. Erwin is completely focused.)

Despite all this trauma, abuse, and what must be excruciating pain, Erwin still has the wherewithal to keep his head and his wits about him to execute his plan perfectly. Insane.

Then no sooner has he installed Historia on the throne, he starts planning the return to Shiganshina.  

It’s hard to overstate how worn out Erwin must be at this stage, and of course Levi calls him out on this.

Erwin’s physical pain tolerance may be unparalleled however you can see the cumulative effect that all these events had on his mental health. Despite his resilience, Erwin is physically and mentally vulnerable after the uprising arc, which is one reason why Zackley is able to manipulate him so effectively, and set him on the downward spiral that led to his moment of despair in Shiganshina.

So yes, Erwin has phenomenal resilience to physical pain, but like so many of us, he is much more susceptible to emotional and psychological pain, and that’s what he almost succumbs to. Thankfully he had Levi there to help shoulder that burden and ease his pain when he needed it most.

Erwin Smith the man that you are.

PS. If you're interested, I once wrote a fic about the physical and emotional aftermath of the uprising once: Aftermath.

Can’t stop thinking about how chill Erwin was about the whole Levi trying to kill him thing. He also seems to be perfectly aware how dangerous all his political schemes are, so more likely than not Levi and friends were not the first assassins sent his way.

Which makes me wonder how much more (if any) were sent after Levi became famous. Because how do you even counter the power move that is “I took the assassin you sent for me and made him my right hand man”? Every new assassin is now at the risk of becoming Erwin Smith supporter. At this point are you trying to dispose of him or just supporting his cause?

I think about this dialogue from S1 all the time; to me, it succinctly sums up the differences between Erwin and Levi’s perspectives and motivations.

When it comes to Erwin, it’s much like what Armin said in S1: the people who are capable of making change have to be able to throw everything away and abandon their personal humanity in order to save the greater humanity. Erwin embodies this perfectly—he never hesitated to sacrifice the lives of others on behalf of a greater cause, and even knew how to inspire them into willingly self-sacrificing.

What was that greater cause? For Erwin, it was his dream of finding out the truth and avenging his father—it just so happened that this aligned with what was best for Paradis. If it weren’t for his own personal ambitions, I don’t believe Erwin would have had the same level of commitment or drive.

Erwin knew that all of the deaths of his soldiers and the civilians caught in the crossfire were potentially pointless (and we eventually see that catch up to him right before his death); but at the same time, he knew each death and sacrifice was a necessary step in uncovering the truth.

That’s not to say he saw no value in human life or that he was an evil person—it’s just that he saw more value in the bigger picture and the greater cause, and he didn’t have time to consider his personal humanity in that pursuit. Erwin knew that he needed people like Levi and Hange to stay alive in order to achieve this bigger picture goal since they filled in the gaps of skills he lacked himself.

This also isn’t to say Erwin is purely selfish, nor is he the only one with personal motivations—Eren was motivated by his mother’s death, Mikasa was motivated by protecting Eren, Hange was motivated by learning about Titans. The list goes on.

Levi is uniquely one of the few characters without selfish motivations and dreams (which is ironic since people view him as cold and heartless). Levi had no ulterior motives pushing him to the other side of the war, and nothing personal to gain.

He chose to follow Erwin because of that look Erwin had in his eye—the same look Armin had in his eye—hope for the future, like he could see something no one else could. Levi, simply, didn’t want to make choices he would regret, even though he openly admitted that he never truly knew or understood what the outcome of those choices would be. He believed that following Erwin’s command—and eventually choosing Armin—was the best way to do this.

Levi doesn’t view the lives of his comrades or squad members as disposable. He has a fiercely protective and loyal nature. We see this time and time again—when he adamantly tells a dying soldier that his death wasn’t in vain and that he’d made a difference, how he doesn’t ever truly forgive Annie and Reiner for the lives they took from the Scouts, and his incessant need to avenge Erwin’s death, to name a few.

To me, Erwin and Levi are somewhat of a yin and yang in this way—Erwin was willing to do everything it took to achieve his dream, no matter the sacrifice, and Levi was willing to do everything it took to make sure those sacrifices weren’t made for nothing.

Erwin had to be willing to send people to their pointless deaths; Levi had to make sure those deaths weren’t pointless in the end.

This is a little bit of a half-baked ramble, but I always found this exchange so interesting and telling.

We're all alone, walking in twilight

The night‘s been long, and so many have fallen

Feel no remorse, light will be breaking

Our freedom is worth it all

There’s a reason why we feel lonely even though we aren’t alone. It’s because loneliness is not about how many friends we have or how many people are in the room with us. It’s a disconnection from others. Being social doesn’t cure loneliness, loneliness comes when there is not a single person close enough to see past the illusion to who we really and what we really feel inside.

A small comic about Palestine I created to appeal to more passive family and friends

Anyways if you have the money I urge you to donate to Ibraheem Hadi, a Palestinian who contacted me and whom I promised to highlight in relation to this comic:

Donate to Help me and my family to evacuate from Gaza, organized by Devlin Downs

Title: "Urgent Relief: Support Ibrahim's Family in Gaza Amidst Devastation" … Devlin Downs needs your support for Help me and my family to

Otherwise there is always a need for eSims to keep Gazans connected
