Thanks for promoting these! I only just got out of Tumblr Jail yesterday after finding a new place to put them, because the sex scenes were keeping me flagged NSFW. I’m currently waiting on the end of the present-day fallout from Thorn Crown before I do any more intensive analysis, but there are actually a few things in the new chapters that I think support some of my more dubious arguments much better than I expected. I’m looking forward to when I feel like I can write the whole thing up, however long it takes the story to get there!

Hyakujitsu no Bara release date (update)

After much shillyshallying, the publishers have given an update for the date of the release of Vol.1 and 2. Not much change, but is some confirmation (and possibly shows the cover for Vol.2)!

The release date is December 1, forgot to mention that ^^;

Oh, it also says there'll be a few new/extra/improved pages, so that's cool :)

Check the update page here.

Great!

Erwin is trending on twitter for no reason and it scares me. I legit thought spoilers already dropped and almost had a heart attack.

I missed this last night!  Why was Erwin trending?  I mean Erwin always deserves to trend, but was there a specific reason he was trending last night? 

[sebysista]

Are you going to resurrect from that Crawling Titan? Has the usurper return the power to the source once more? Hope the power goes back to nature, where it belongs.

[lostcauses-noregrets]

Hello hello Lost! I know you’ve been busy with a bunch of fic requests but I was just wondering if you had know of any papa smith and Erwin fics or fan art really, Not like shipping them obviously. But just soft fluff with the two of them growing up or something? Idk I had a weird need for it after looking at some fan art.

Hello hello Anon!  I’m so sorry it’s taken me weeks (months?) to answer your ask.  Here’s some fics I’ve enjoyed featuring Erwin and his father, I hope you’ll enjoy them too.  They’re all lovely but be warned, some of them are very sad.

I’ve actually got a Papa Smith tag on my blog where you can find some absolutely gorgeous art of Erwin and his father, along with various asks, and other bits and pieces of meta.  This is one of my favourites pieces of official art because it features Erwin and the two most significant people in his life. 

[project-zorthania]

I’m not as active as I used to be on it, but my sideblog @erminswith​ is a space dedicated to Papa Smith and little Erwin if OP is still interested <3 (Hope you don’t mind the shameless plug pffahahahah)

[lostcauses-noregrets]

Oh thank you dear! I can’t believe I forgot the adorable @erminswith ♡♡♡

[sebysista]

The placement of both men could mean that despite he took duty’s path(left) where his left arm stands being the decision Levi made for him(to his relief) his right broken wing still stands for what his heart aimed for in the end. I hope that dreams are meaningful; the search for the truth of their existence could be the key to end the path of suffering and cruelty their race adds to this already cruel World.

who would inherit the Coordinate power?

Before chapter 122 I used to think that the innermost Wall was named after the eldest daughter since it sounds logic to protect the one who inherited the Coordinate within the privileged circle. In view of the latest information, some ideas of mine have changed somehow, after finding out that the progenitor Titan was only a slave girl who tried to escape from her hunter humans and was chased just for sport reasons made all clear as to why it did not matter which girl would be the one exposed to the first attack. Everyone seems to be thinking that if the Parasitic creature is prevented from re-attaching to Eren’s head the power of either Beast and Coordinate should go back to Historia’s baby that conveniently happens to being born at the present time. The surprised element however, I have previously talk about before; the Crawling Titan who has been advancing slowly since who knows how long, perhaps over 2000 years, could be the one inheriting this Power(s) and perhaps it could bring  about a human who manage to cling to his dream to the end and at the same time a twin tree, the primordial tree that used to house this power could be produce as the result of this event. Maybe another crazy idea of mine, but I just see the symbolic element and the reason why Eren touch it in a symphathetic manner.The usurper should return the power to the source to close a cycle.

[sebysista]

a refresher perhaps for the last time, hope you like my crazy ideas, based on my interpretation of what has transpired through symbolism, credits, ovas, etc.

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

me: and then nestle was caught in a child labor lawsuit for using trafficked child slaves to acquire their ingredients--not only that, the children were kept watch by guards so they couldn't escape the torture they endured for profit. globalization under capitalism is glorified neocolonialism. now wait until you hear about what coca cola did in

my parents, who just invited me downstairs for coffee:

[a-slut]

no go on. tell us what cock cola did

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

coca cola has done a lot of bad things, but when I made this post this specific instance of exploitation was on my mind:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/14/world/americas/mexico-coca-cola-diabetes.html

In Town With Little Water, Coca-Cola Is Everywhere. So Is Diabetes. (Published 2018)

Residents of one of Mexico’s rainiest regions often have no water to drink, so many hydrate with soda. The impact on public health has been

basically coca cola taking advantage of a place lacking water to boost their sales which leads to a health crisis in return (also, coca cola itself pollutes).

And it’s not only the poor and genetically predispose to this modern disease born out of the industries that capitalise from blinding us into making us consume their cheap and convenient products. Open your eyes and see why most of us are metabolically sick , US leading the way with around 80% of its population. Perhaps the real reason why we are victims to many viruses is due to our challenged Immune systems.

Ymir original ideal representation, observe how the beams do not aligned except the horizontal axis and those 2 are missing in the Eldian badge(Ymir in Paths, in blue and rooted to the Organic World, the sand color that represents Pure Titans) used in Marley,figure 3. Now look at the Royal emblem, that describes the actual nature of Ymir’s acquired power after being split in that canibalistic event after her death. Rather that being presented as a beam that perfectly aligns, her projection from Heaven to Earth, the remained beams are caged in this circle and now the living and organic materials are all subjected to a cycle, which is the state of their struggle since the power manifested in this World. The King of the Walls made a vow of Pacifism with the founder(Ymir) in which he’d accept their demise at the hands of the rest of the World and deviced a strategy to trick the “life parasite” in order to achieve this. I think the reason why it has been erasing its subjects memories is in order to increase their chances to destroy the parasite connection to all the Eldians. Soon we may find out that Eren has been losing control of himself for quite a while, since he’s been assimilating the memories of all those other shifter powers. I’m sure he lost himself to Path from the moment he was beheaded by Gaby, but his auto pilot self took on the reigns, this is why despite being represented as a whole self when encountering Zeke in Paths he actually continued to be a head in the material world. Yes, Mikasa was responsible for ending his slavery to that parasite that kept on trying to keeping him alive. 

Hope to get the Ackerman real nature that connects them to Paths; I guess they are the human expression that can open Portals to other alternate worlds and perhaps everyone will continue to live on their desire place. Who knows.

[canon-rivamika]

Ackergleam?

When Mikasa says she'll kill Eren and asks Levi to help her...

Look at the white lines. Did Levi's remaining eye just spark or something???👀 What's going on?

[sebysista]

That’s proof that they are connected to the Coordinate as well. Silver is their colour so they are the water element that connects to all aspects of Ymir, the same as the coordinate(s) holders

[lostcauses-noregrets]

Hey lost I’m looking for a specific fic. It’s pretty sad. Levi chooses to use the serum on Erwin but instead of going for Bert, Erwin Titan tries to get to Eren to eat him and Levi is forced to kill Erwin’s Titan

I’m afraid this doesn’t sound familiar Anon. I don’t think this is one I’ve read.  Maybe someone else can identify it? 

[sebysista]

I think Erwin’s crawling Titan could not be able to eat anyone, unless Levi offers his head to him; haha. Anyways I’m not familiar with that fic either.

[sebysista]

who would inherit the Coordinate power?

[colt-grice-uwu]

With Gabi mentioning the parasite and their goal to destroy it I am now 99% sure that the series will end with the Titan power taken from humanity. I think this could help with solving the situation between Eldians and the other countries as well as save the shifters that are still alive at the end of the series. However it's hard to tell how many shifters will be alive for them to benefit from the end of the "13 years curse" seeing how things are going.

[sebysista]

yes, the power has to be return to its origins and we had a taste of this in the end credits were the power will be captured(not by eating it) and then release back to nature. The Coordinate being a power not contained but as the ideal image of the Goddess holding it as a star in her hand and the Horn(scream) in her other hand and the scarf floating around her; haha

A few quick 134 thoughts or else I will actually burst …

I’ve been consumed with real life so talking about Attack on Titan and responding to online friends has taken a backseat, but I am eager to talk about the chapter as soon as I have a moment. Since that keeps not happening, I thought I’d drop just a few quick thoughts now.

I’ve long hoped for a “cruel yet beautiful” ending but with this chapter I’ve giving up hope on anything other than cruel. This chapter was game over. Nothing can repair the damage that’s been done.  The world has been rumbled and millions of innocents have been mercilessly slaughtered. No matter who, no matter where. The devout offering prayer at the temple, the urban and affluent in the city, the rural families running with no escape all met the same fate.

Meanwhile those who actually bear some guilt in this are being shown to have a change of heart. While the natural reaction would be anger, they are instead expressing remorse and vowing to do better. None of that matters either.  If innocents and those having a change of heart are instantly slaughtered, what’s the actual point? 

It makes me wonder about the overall messaging here. Everyone including the 104th, the Alliance, Kiyomi, the General, and the crowd gathered at Fort Slava are willing to accept blame for the rumbling, yet there’s been very little blame assigned to the person doing the rumbling and surprisingly little anger towards him. I don’t know if that’s clumsy messaging on Isayama’s part, or if we are supposed to at least partially recuse Eren from this horror. That bothers me. I dropped that thought in a discord and my friend Kingsgrave shared his thoughts. I’ll end with those because it provides a lot to think about.

I think the narrative supports Eren a little too much. His ideas and rationalizations are treated as inevitable and not really pushed back on by the main cast, the main cast just laments about how terrible the world is.

We also never really had anyone in the narrative actually support alternatives, often they were proposed by some 3rd party and then they went nowhere. Isayama seemed to make it a point that those who supported alternatives were seen as fickle, indecisive, and weak compared to people like Floch and Eren.

It also doesn’t help that the only major alternative proposed, the 50 year plan, was never an actual plan because it was proposed by a guy who was later revealed to want the extinction of Eldians. Making the plan a farse.

I think the biggest thing that confused/upset me was in 123 at that conference that Eren walked out of. That character seemed to exist to yet again remind us and Eren that there is no such thing as peace.

So maybe its a cautionary tale but honestly it feels more like Isayama is constantly justifying Eren. The text of the manga supports Eren’s side far more than it does the other side, which makes arguing about it when you aren’t on Eren’s side incredibly difficult. Which might be the point but I hesitate to give Isayama credit for that.

Again those are not my words but I share the concern. Thank you @kingsgrave for permission to share them.  Also thank you (and sorry) to everyone in my inbox. I hope be discussing the series soon. 

[sebysista]

I’m not on Eren’s side either but I think his role in the current situation is not entirely his fault. We have not consider that perhaps he’s only a puppet to the memories of those Titans combined, the Attack Titan is a driving force and it engaged a host that was very keen to fight for Freedom; Eren has been manifesting other personalities for a long time and like Reiner he feels guilt over his future actions, but he knows he had no way to control it; he carries a power inside like a time bomb which he cannot control. I also believe that the founder was a victim who had no will of her own, which seems to be an esential part for any shifter who wants to pilot a Titan. She could have been sleeping all those years(13 perhaps) and only saw a brief moment of freedom the very moment she appeared in Paths right after dying; unfortunately her physical body was bound somehow when her daugthers ate  her, splitting 4 aspects that comprise her Titanic powers. From all symbolic representations of the Royal emblems, the Corps, the Walls and the actual layout of Paradis I take a few ideas that perhaps Isayama was giving us hints from the very start and they represent the story that the King of the Walls stripped away from his subjects. The solution as I see it could be to combine all her powers(her 4 aspects) as one and perhaps return its power to that Primordial tree(twin tree). I hope to add some more ideas sometime soon.
