I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived. ( eren to armin )

                                  𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔.  // status: still accepting.

          often time armin catches himself in thought when it comes to eren, wondering if they are not two sides of the same coin. while there is a harshness in eren so obvious for all too see-- a certain level of brutality that nobody could deny, he knows there is also cunning and thought behind it. for ever impulse, there is an underlying cause and motivation. he is not always reckless, blind child breaking things because he can. there is pattern to the madness, if you were to truly look and pay attention. 

( or maybe he is just looking for excuse and reason. but he prefers to think he just see’s eren, has known him long enough to understand and see the best in him. ) 

         and so, even now, he can’t help but pause to consider the words. unwrap them and ponder for a moment before he nods. it’s a tentative kind of agreement. one with exceptions that come with armin’s own adjusted way of looking at things. 

          “ it can be a motivator for some, i guess. let the bitterness guide you, move your hand into action. ”   he thinks upon all the times they’ve so freely cast aside their own humanity. all for the sake of the betterment of their people. for the fight toward change. as armin looks to eren now, he still clings onto the hope that the story has no changed. that they still fight the same war and share the same end goal. thinks of how none of this would feel as worthwhile if he were to lose eren to the bitter ugliness of this fight and see his alignments shift and alter to something far darker. 

          smile is forced up. a brightness he projects all too often. “ you’ve always been a bitter little shit though. ”
