hey good morning im here again and wanted to make a post about why i think the relationship between allen and lavi is so enjoyable to see, whether u see it as romantic or platonic, and i think it has to do with how they bring the kid out of each other
reading dgrays it’s rly easy to get caught up in the tough situations and inner and outer conflicts each character is going through and the big picture and the war theyre fighting etc etc but what i keep seeing whenever lavi and allen interact is how they each bring out each other’s playfulness and stubborness and yeah theyre fighting these horrible monsters but theyre competing to see who killed more and using rock paper scissors to decide who has to crack open a coffin and getting each other into trouble and laughing at each other and
when they do it’s hard to forget that these are two teenagers who care about each other and their friends in a time when it’s really hard to do so. And it’s both enjoyable and sad because it really reminds you that these are kids fighting in a war. and theyre constantly desperately grasping any opportunity for levity ;v;
