Hi mom. What do you think of Levi's new, expensive red chair? Do you think it's related to Erwin? It looks soft and nice on the butt, unlike the chair he threw through the bar window, and the one he tipped over in marley. I think Levi's not done expressing his immense regret for Erwin's flattened ass, he's leading by example by showcasing better chairs for everyone.
You are absolutely correct. And the anime and merchandising team agree with you. Look at all the times Levi has officially sat in a soft red chair. And notice how peaceful he looks. It’s obvious that soft chairs make him think wistfully of what could’ve been had Erwin been kinder to his ass.
By way of comparison, I can think of one prominent instance where we see Levi sitting in a hard chair.
Do you see the difference? Here, let me zoom in:
It’s official. Levi Ackerman hates hard chairs.
As I stare at Volume 14 I can’t miss how Erwin’s body is facing the chair. Perhaps he longs to sit on it. But Levi is stubborn and loyal and always willing to sacrifice his own ass in order to protect Erwin’s.
Thank you again, chair anon, for your brilliant and insightful asks! You have been the main force in establishing the canonicity of flatasswin and the resulting fallout of Levi’s relationship with chairs everywhere 💕
