Thinking about how Armin was the first person to make Eren desire for freedom, not by doing anything, but by just being himself. Eren was fascinated by the freedom in Armin's eyes. He only brought himself to care about the book being inspired by Armin's excitement.

And then, Armin was also the first person to suggest Eren being the hope of humanity in order to save him from being killed by the Garrison. He was only able to get the courage to say it to the Garrison because of Eren.

Then, in Midnight Sun, Eren had most probably given up on revenge (although I consider it to be finishing rather than giving up as he defeats Bertholdt, who caused the death of his mother and they also take over the walls) after seeing Armin die, considering that he puts down his goal of revenge to praise Armin ("My mind is full of hate, but he is not like that. He has dreams too.") He obviously still would've remained resolute even if Armin wasn’t chosen. He was also the first person to suggest that Armin would be the saviour of humanity.

They both have really strong beliefs in each other regardless. What stands out to me the most about Armin's speech is while I think his resoluteness in using Eren stems from need for survival and his belief in humanity, he barely knew about Eren too and accepted the "monster" who can transform into a titan. Not to mention, he has encouraged Eren to choose himself multiple times in the season. When Eren was stuck in his titan dreaming about his old life, it was Armin reminding him of who he truly was. When fighting Annie for the last time, it was Armin who encouraged him to abandon his humanity to defeat monsters.

I don't really know what's the conclusion to this post. Just a small insight into Eren & Armin's dynamic.

is there anything you think is underrated/ overlooked in the eremin dynamic? or sort of mischaracterisation that bothers you?

hmm. I made a post about this some time ago, but it does bother me when only one of the character's mental struggles is addressed and the other exists primarily as support. and I don't mean in a short fic where Armin is helping Eren through his depression or something like that. I mean when Armin's entire characterization is being a meek, anxious mess and Eren is his overbearing protector alpha type. or when only Eren's angst and poor coping habits are featured and Armin exists as his emotional support and little else.

actually, I think a big part of their divide in season 4 is Eren realizing he can't look to Armin as a beacon to fix everything anymore because the world isn't as they imagined it. Eren felt a severe loss of hope, and perhaps even a sense of betrayal upon that revelation. In contrast, Armin's admission in the finale that he's felt the same way as Eren does is what brings them back together for their final farewell.

a key aspect of Armin and Eren's relationship is how reciprocal it is. Armin and Eren are mentally ill in similar ways: frustration at their lack of usefulness resulting in a willingness to sacrifice themselves. Armin's ability to push back and truly empathize with Eren's struggles, instead of being a mere sponge for Eren's pain, is half of what makes their dynamic so special. the other half is Eren's ability to draw Armin out from his anxious spirals by seeing and putting his faith in Armin's strengths; not by babying him.
