I’m gonna say something possibly controversial

In my headcannon Levi isn’t French

He’s Dutch

LET ME EXPLAIN

Recently I introduced my bf to AOT. He loved it and Levi ended up being one of his favorite characters. But he also pointed something out to me. When he found out people think Levi is French he disagreed. He’s Dutch and he said Levi’s first name is one he’s seen used several times in the Netherlands and his last name is a Dutch last name.

So in my head I have now decided Levi is at least of Dutch descent. Because I can. This is my headcannon and I will keep going with it

The Eagle: An Alternate Take to the AnR Theory

Before I begin this post, I want to preface this by saying that if the AnR ending happens, I will be sad but not disappointed, this is simply a thought I had that I hadn’t seen anyone else propose. I won’t be discussing why people believe that the eagle is Eren, although I know that there’s a lot of symbolism regarding it. This is simply my own thoughts on how Isayama could have a tragic ending that destroys us while also keeping some people alive.

Spoilers under the cut for both the manga and season four of the anime, you’ve been warned. Also long post, sorry.

First of all, if you have not yet watched the Akatsuki no Requiem video, I highly recommend you do that before continuing to read this post. Here’s the video:

For those of you that don’t know, the AnR theory states that the eagle in this video represents Eren and that this video basically spoils the entire ending of AOT. But what if the eagle isn’t actually Eren? What if it’s another character, telling the story of how they ended a war through bloodshed and lost their closest friends on the way? What if the same person telling us this story in the video is the same person who’s been telling us this story the whole time?

I believe that the eagle in this video is actually Armin Arlet, and that this is him recounting how he stopped the rumbling. This mixes in some of the Lebouch (?) theory, but not in the way you think.

Let’s start with something most people overlook about his character: Armin is extremely manipulative when he needs to be. He was able to convince Pixis that Eren wasn’t an enemy, quickly became a strategist that even Erwin trusted, and told Bertholt that someone he cared about deeply was being brutally tortured to save Eren. In his current position in the manga based upon the 137 leaks, he’s been able to take control of some of the titans away from Ymir. Whether or not he’s really done this or this is apart of Ymir’s plan is up for speculation, but for now let’s just assume that he did this of his own accord. He was able to talk Zeke into dying for humanity, a literal nihilist who killed countless people. Armin clearly will get his hands dirty if it benefits his plan, as shown multiple times. He’s not innocent.

Something else that helped me come to this conclusion, although this isn’t necessarily a huge reason I believe it, is that Armin is the one telling us this story. He’s been our narrator since season one. If Isayama wanted to kill him, why not just have Eren be the narrator? If Armin’s dead it makes no sense for him to be able to tell us the story even if you take the paths into consideration, since you can’t interact with anything or anyone in there.

Last thing before I get into the video is that Armin is being treated like a god right now by the titans on Eren in 137. The creator of the trojan horse theory (@/localhangeluvr on twitter), which is another inspiration for my theory, made a thread showing this and the similarities between Armin and the devils in Ymir’s story. This shows that he is going to be extremely important to the ending, whether or not he lives or dies. This thread also discusses the idea of Armin being the eagle, but we came to different conclusions based upon that idea.

Now let’s get into the video. The first thing I want to point out is the appearance of the color blue. We first see this when the eagle cries and dyes the baby eagle(?) blue. Later on, it reappears on the butterflies. The character that is most associated with this color is Armin, through his love of the ocean. His eyes are also blue in the anime, although blue for the ocean fits better since they’re hazel in the manga. The first time we meet Armin, he’s also wearing blue. Maybe this represents him wishing for a simpler time, before the fall of wall Maria?

Another thing, the grave the eagle visits. Look at the symbol on it.

To me, it resembles a snake eating it’s own tail. This makes me think of Eren, someone who ended up becoming what he hated most. First in the form of a titan, then in the form of a mass murderer. This could very well be Eren’s grave that the eagle visits, meaning he could be crying because of the knowledge that he killed the person that was once his best friend.

Next, let’s examine the thing on top of the baby eagle’s head, which also reappears later in the eagle’s library.

This clearly is supposed to be the wings of freedom. If Eren was the eagle, why would he hold onto the wings? At this point, he’s completely abandoned the scouts. Why would he want to keep anything what reminded him of what became his enemy around? These questions disappear if this is actually Armin though, as he would have no reason to renounce the scouts.

Another interesting thing is that the eagle has blue eyes when he has the lizard/frog mask on, but his actual eyes are brown. As I mentioned before, Armin has blue eyes in the anime but hazel in the manga. This could be another subtle hint to the eagle’s identity.

Next, the lack of walls in the sky city, or the fact that this is what it represents. This is when the Lebouch theory comes into play. While I don’t necessarily believe that Eren wants to be stopped, I do believe that if he is killed and the rumbling ends, that this will create peace. A scene all the way back in season one makes me believe this. After Eren agrees to try to seal the wall, he takes a walk with Pixis. To paraphrase what is said, Pixis states that only a world ending event could truly bring humanity together. Well, I do think an attempted mass genocide would be world ending enough to do it. Plus, there’s the fact that if the alliance stops it, that would put Paradis and the eldians back into the world’s good graces. And if one of them gets their hands on the founding, there’s also a possibility that they could completely remove all titans from the world.

The family is another reason a lot of people assume that this is Eren we’re watching because of his and Historia’s possible relationship in the manga, if you believe that Historia’s child is his (which I do, but that’s not super relevant right now). But that’s not necessarily what’s happening here. If someone’s able to reverse the curse of Ymir, then this COULD be Armin and Annie’s family. If Armin and Annie’s feelings for each other wasn’t important, why bring it up right at the end of the story? At this point there’s no reason for Isayama to show us that they like each other UNLESS it plays a role in the prologue. Or, maybe it’s to make Annie’s death sadder if he does kill her, but since she’s still alive I’m sticking with option a. I’m not sure if the cat means anything, however black cats are usually regarded as an omen of death. This could be a reminder that Armin killed Eren.

Another clue is the library.

It’s shown to be very expansive, clearly showing that whoever owns it loves to read. Only one character comes to mind when you think about books.

The lizard family is next.

Notice that it’s a father, mother and child. Maybe Armin will have to end up killing both Historia and her child along with Eren? Or this could just show Armin’s regrets at the deaths he’s caused in general.

In the ruins, we again see the image of a snake eating it’s tail. Possibly representing the damage that Eren caused with the rumbling?

Now the butterflies. Possibly one of the biggest reasons why people believe that Eren is the eagle.

In total, we see 10 butterflies. I believe that this does represent the alliance as they attempt to stop Eren, and shows that about 5 of them will die. I believe that the first death is either represented by Hange or Zeke, depending on how you view it. Maybe Zeke, as he was an outlier to the group until his death. I believe that Levi, Reiner, and Pieck will be the last three deaths. To add to this, the ground shot also only shows five butterflies, meaning that more than likely the rest of the alliance will live.

Right after these deaths, the baby eagle is shown preparing to fight. I believe that this means that these last three deaths will happen in quick succession and drive Armin overboard, causing him to do what Mikasa won’t and kill Eren.

Next, we see both eagles in a field of graves, showing that Armin regrets not being able to save more people. Maybe he even blames himself for their deaths, wishing he had stopped Eren earlier.

While I know that Mikasa is the one to wake Eren up from under the tree, maybe this shows that Armin is the one who says ‘see you later’ before she does?

I believe that this represents Armin realizing that, without Eren’s destruction, they never would have gotten peace. I believe that him dropping the arrow represents him feeling a kind of gratitude towards him, in a weird way?

And then the end of the video just shows us again that, while Eren did ultimately bring about peace, it came at a heavy price.

A few more things to mention:

1. The lyrics DO tie into chapter titles, while I won’t list them here going through the comments of this video will show all of them to you.

2. Armin’s last name literally means eagle.

That’s the end to my theory! Basically, I believe that Armin will kill Eren and that peace will be achieved, however it won’t be a happy ending for anyone involved.

There’s a few things about the video that I can’t necessarily explain, like the eagle’s lost leg. Though maybe, if they do rid the world of titans, if Armin is injured while killing Eren he’ll end up losing it? It’s something I’ll keep an eye out for over these last few chapters. Another thing is the revealed last manga panel. Most people do believe that it’s Eren (for good reason), we never get that confirmation. If this is after another time skip, that could be another character, hell maybe it’s even Armin talking to his and Annie’s child.

That’s it from me though. Let me know what yall think, if you think it’s plausible or tell me that I’m wrong, I don’t care lol. Proofs to either disprove or prove this would be great if yall find any! Thanks for reading my longass post.

Call This Love A Curse?

Levi Ackerman x Witch Reader

Chapter 10

On a Day Of Mist

Previous Chapter

Why did you agree to join the Scouts? It was just a matter of survival, so why did you have to get so involved? You had risked your life and then compromised yourself as a result.

Ever since your confession to Levi, the two of you had hardly spoken or interacted. This wasn't much different from your previous interactions, but now you were filled with dread and paranoia.

"He might have already told. I'll get carted away and cut up. Or executed." The not knowing was terrifying.

Through a window you could see the clouds and the mixture of rain and mist that hung in the air. The sight made you forget your troubles for a brief moment. You let a slight smile slip and opened the window, allowing the misty wind to swirl into your room and through your hair.

A knock at the door brought you back to the real world, and your paranoia returned. Narrowing your eyes you asked, "Who is it?"

"Hey [Y/N], it's me." You sighed, it was just Hange. You rise from your comfortable seat and open the door to see the smiling brunette standing before you.

"Why'd you drop by?" You inquired, cocking your head.

"I need to go into Wall Rose to get a few things, wanna come?" Hange inquired.

You frowned slightly. "I don't know...."

"Come on." Hange encouraged. "You've been a little frayed since the expedition and I bet some shopping will help!"

You deadpanned. None of this sounded like your idea of a good time at the moment. "I don't like shopping."

Hange laughed a bit. "It's not clothes shopping! I'm getting supplies for my experiments!"

That sounded like it wasn't too bad, and it might be interesting. Perhaps you'd find something useful. "Why not?" You replied, "I'll come along."

This was the first time in so long you'd been able to go into a town. Everyone ran around, shouting, arguing, rushing. And it fascinated you.

Not so much the people, but the fact that no one and nothing was stopping you from being here! You came here of your own free will.... well it was Hange's idea.... but still!

The Scientific instruments Hange used were part of the Scouts’ budget but she bought all of the experiment materials she could find with her own pocket money. Hange was a surprisingly good businesswoman.

It was amusing for a while to watch her haggle for the price. She didn't need your help at all. In another life Hange could have easily been an merchant or a lawyer.

Eventually you decided to look around for a while and told Hange that you'd go see if anything caught your eye.

As it turns out there were a few surprisingly interesting items, and you ended up with some very curious looking plants, medical supplies, and several beautifully made multipurpose knives.

"This trip has been pretty productive." You mused. "It's…… a relief being outside again."

Your nose twitched, had you just smelled what you thought you did? Quickly you ran in the direction of the heavenly aroma. You stopped in front of a shop, your suspicions were confirmed. They were selling venison.

"Excuse me." You called the shop owner, and held out some money. "I'll take several cuts please."

Paying for them, you stuffed one in your mouth and carried the rest in a bag. It had been so long since you had eaten such good food. Having lived off of disgusting prison food and sparse military rations for quite awhile, this small piece of venison tasted like the best food in existence to you.

You walked throughout the street, but stopped abruptly. You sensed something strange. Turning your head you looked over to see a yellow eyed black cat watching you.

You smiled, that's good luck for a witch. "Hey." You said, walking over to the cat. "Whatcha looking at me for?"

The cat blinked and continued to stare at you with its yellow eyes. Perhaps they were hungry? You pulled off a piece of venison and offered it to them.

"Here you go." You said softly, holding it out. "That's all I got for now."

The cat fixated on the venison, and daintily ate it with surprising speed. You chuckled before turning away. "Glad you like it. See ya around."

Walking away you turned a corner and found yourself back near where you bought the knives. Making your way down the street you stopped... and were surprised to find another black cat watching you from a rooftop.

"Ok...?" You raised an eyebrow. "I could've sworn that cat was back there." Confused, you continued on, perhaps it was time to call it a day.

You felt something brush your leg and looked down to see that same cat right in front of you. "What the hell?" You wondered aloud. "Weren't you just...?"

You crossed your arms. "Once isn't anything to notice, twice is probably a coincidence, but I know I've seen you three times. Are you trying to tell me something?"

The cat started walking and looked back at you. "You want me to follow you?" You guessed.

The cat seemed to nod, before walking off, leaving you to follow behind.

The cat led you through the streets and through crowds, before stopping in front of an apothecary and sitting at the door. "You want me to go in here?" You inquired.

The cat just nudged the door open and padded into the shop. Now more curious than confused, you followed behind.

The inside of the apothecary was quite interesting. It had assorted jars and trinkets on the shelves and several herbs hanging from the ceiling.

You walked around, studying the contents on the shelves. There were some very unusual things such as crystals and brightly patterned cloth, things you wouldn't normally find in an apothecary.

"Welcome." A voice called out. You jumped in surprise, almost dropping your bags. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

The owner of the voice finally came forward. She was a lean woman who had dark hair with a few stray grey streaks. However it did not make her appear old in the slightest, in fact the streaks were perhaps more silver.

"It's fine." You replied. "I'm just a little jumpy." The woman hummed in acknowledgement and walked over.

"See anything of interest?" She inquired. You looked around.

"Everything in this room is of interest." You said, with a look of fascination in your eyes.

The woman chuckled. "You like things like this? I'm told it's strange."

You raised your eyebrows. "Whoever says that is an idiot. This place has everything."

"You flatter me." She replied. "What brought you here?"

You decided to answer honestly. "A cat." You half expected her to laugh but instead she replied with interest.

"Really?"

"Yes." You answered. "Weirdly I was wondering where I could find an apothecary."

"Hmm." She said again. "I wonder, would you allow me to tell your fortune?"

Confused by her sudden change of topic, you enquired, "Why exactly?"

"A cat is regarded as both a good and bad omen, I'm curious as to what it is for you." She mused. "Something about you is... interesting."

Part of you wanted to just grab a few herbs and pay for them instead, but something told you to go for it. You were unable to tell your own fortune, why not find out?

"Besides, I must have already been through the worst I can." You thought, despite the risk of jinxing yourself.

"Sure, I'll go for it." You shrugged. She'd probably just use a false fortune telling method.

The woman smiled and put her hands together. "Excellent. Now..." She walked over to a table and gestured to a seat. "... Shall we begin?"
