Hi!! What are Erwin, Levi and Hange's favorite seasons/holidays? In canon or modern au, I'm curious to know what you think :)
also, i’m an american, so i'm sorry i'm not educated on other holidays... 🧍🏻 if someone has thoughts pls pls i'd love to hear
he’s sooo silly :’) erwin’s favorite holidays are the ones that give him an excuse to dive into history like armistice day or MLK day. if he was more argumentative, then it’d be columbus day for the sake of going around and explaining to literally anyone who will listen how the day is actually very misleading propagandized bullshit. (levi hears him give the same lecture 3 or 4 times throughout the course of the day, but he’s entertained by how passionate he gets :3)
his favorite season would be spring, either canon or otherwise. the start of the year is like an extra kick of motivation and boost of morale for a fresh start. like levi, he appreciates new life blossoming all around (and finds it amusing when levi’s allergies start up hehe).
levi, however, prefers summer.... just because it's warmer and brighter. levi is a simple person with simple desires. he just despises cold weather that bites down to the bone, with dead trees and barren branches that stand so rich and magnificent in the summer months. grey, colorless sky, fog—he hates winter!!
summer is the sheer opposite. the air smells sweet, and it’s usually hot, but he’ll take the most excruciating aboveground heat over one more day in underground “weather”. it was always humid and stunk in “summer”, and in "winter", it was cold enough to freeze to death. and stunk.
as for holiday, he doesn’t have one🤷🏻none really put him in that celebratory mood, or exist as a day(s) that he looks forward to every year.
unless you count his mother's birthday, maybe. he either puts extensive thought and effort into her special day, or if she’s passed away, then it’s terribly bittersweet, but he still looks forward to ruminating on positive memories of her. even if she's not there (or perhaps especially), it's her day.
that is to say, if anyone asks he tells them that christmas is alright since his birthday falls on the same day. yay...
halloween has to be their favorite holiday. not only if they were all grey hair and with creaky knees they would still dress up, and ask moblit to drag them to trick or treat spots... but i think they’d take a tiny bit of solace in it, bc no one bats an eye if you act like a crazy person on this day. it’s not like they feel bad about who they are, but it feels good to belong lol.
and stabbing their pumpkin into a jack o lantern. EVERY year levi has some scornful feedback and EVERY year someone convinces him to give hange pointers but they're always messy😭
their favorite season is summer🥺0 question. they’re high energy like a ballistic missile golden retriever and they love the energy and excitement summer brings.
also in canon, that’s when more expeditions can take place :3
