I hope your brain gets unmushed! If for headcanons, can you do hcs for platonic relationships with the/a vet/s? While platonic s/o is a vet themselves? Rally for unmushiness!
Aaa im the platonic vets anon and i realize it prob wasnt specific enough shkkkk sorry but its like what would the vets be like to a fellow vet thats close to them knowing that theyve all been through some baaad stuff. Like, who is the type to have long talks in the night or grab a beer, how they be affected by the death of said friend, etc. Again, solidify the brain! No more mushy!
so i kind of really loved this a lot. for now im just doing four of the vets and breaking my rule of three but honestly i liked this so much so. (also hanji is androgynous here)
Also spoilers if you haven’t read the manga and only watch the anime
-------------------------
theres a lot of solidarity in silence when it come to erwin, particularly when in public
he doesn’t let on to just how much guilt he truly feels in leading his comrades and friends to their deaths
in the manga we definitely see erwin express some of this guilt to levi and hanji and i think its safe to imagine him confiding in another individual (you)
you’ll be alone in his office, whiskey in hand just listening to his hopes, his dreams, his regrets, and his failures
erwin doesn’t let himself be too affected by the deaths of his comrades
after all he’s seen dozens of bodies pile up do to his orders
should you die, i think he’d not spend much if any time mourning. he’s been here before and while deep down it would pain him, he would never let it show and would just add you to his ever growing list of hauntings
levi isn’t one to want to share any sort of emotional baggage.
he’s seen some shit and he’s well aware that you’ve seen a lot of the same shit
get close enough to him though and i can see him slowly opening up to you
i think that especially after erwin’s death and most of the survey corp is wiped out i can see him finally opening up more to a fellow soldier
he’d be more apt to listen to you lament in the dead of the night although he might not say much
should he lose you, i can see him responding somewhere between his reaction to the loss of his squad and to the loss of erwin
he’d be hurt and blame himself, wondering if he could have stopped it in any way, but he’ll be damned if anyone saw him mourn. though silently in the night he would lay awake asking himself why
hanji tries to push away much of their emotional turmoil by drowning it in research and intrigue
they’d be the one that would show up at your quarters late at night after a rough mission with some sort of crazy idea they wanted you to listen to and discuss
of the vets, hanji would be the most apt to physical affection, albeit in private
they’d be the one that would unexpectedly hug you if you let them or at least place a comforting hand on your shoulder
hanji would absolutely lose it anything happened to you
you were the one they felt like would listen to any of their crazy schemes
losing you would be like losing a part of themselves
hanji would live with a lot of regret if they lost you
mike would be the vet that you would find yourself at taverns with to drink out the pain
he doesn’t do it often, but he’d drag you to go drinking when the pain of everything started to get to much
together you’d drink round after round until you could barely stand and you had to help prop one another up to get back to base
you’d fall asleep in one bed completely shit faced and wake up together in agonizing hangovers quickly pushing each other away in bed
you’d laugh about how much of a mess you both were later though
mike would be quiet and close in on himself if he lost you
he’d stop going out to go drinking and would lock himself away to drown his pain in alcohol
he’d remain stoic in public but inside he’d be hurting
