happy almost new year I am wishing you all an uneventful 2022, may we finally have a year of relative quiet (unlikely)
AOT on New Year's Eve
drugs and alcohol cw
modern
eren
literally nobody asked him to throw a party. no one. his entire house reeks of weed and cigarettes and nobody wants to sit on his couches because who knows what's on there.
he invites his pals anyway, and they show up reluctantly, because if they don't he will text them nonstop for a week after midnight trying to figure out if he pissed them off or something. no dude, just clean your house
armin and annie
oh, my dear boy. parties make him anxious so he really doesn't enjoy them. he can't drink because he'll get sick. well, he gets sick anyway, he has a surprisingly sensitive stomach and it's worse when he's anxious. thus, our angel spends a lot of his time in the bathroom. last year he missed midnight because of it.
annie, on the other hand, sits on the floor of the living room or wherever they may be and either reads the labels of whatever she can find or looks around for any pets. now, if reiner is there, she is picking a fight, but that's a different story
mikasa
is slightly intoxicated on wine before she even gets to the celebration at eren's. sometimes she needs to be in order to listen to him without tearing her hair out.
jean, connie, marco, and sasha
they're together all night so.... putting them as one. oddly enough none of them really care about midnight they just use it as an excuse to hang out and have gummies that jean got from his cousin. marco eats way more gummies than he should because it helps his tics and jean always has to tell him to stop at some point.
thus, while jean, connie, and sasha are having a toast at midnight for the hell of it, marco is flat on the couch babbling about how he can't feel his teeth
historia and ymir
they usually just go out drinking a bit in the evening then have one of their friends bring them home so they can stay in together and watch the countdown themselves.
they rarely show up at new year's parties but when they do it's usually historia's idea and ymir just gets dragged along. they have had to leave several times because of fights being started.
erwin, levi, and hange
they are literally just. two gen x's and their millennial pal. it literally does not matter how much erwin drinks, he's calm the whole time and doesn't really make it obvious. levi doesn't drink at all he will literally just have tea. yes, tea, even on new year's eve.
hange sometimes has to be evicted into the garage for timeout because they get way too hype at the countdown and have on several occasions broken something in the living room at midnight
reiner and bertholdt
they usually just hang out with their dog but might bring her with them if they decide to visit friends for the night. she's their anchor to make sure they don't get carried away with alcohol or what have you because they still have to be responsible dads obviously
bert has a very low social battery and is most likely asleep not even five minutes past midnight. reiner however takes a while to get relaxed so he usually just tries to read for a bit while bert kicks around in his sleep lmao
porco and pieck
they literally just stay in his room with his cat and tune out the tv until midnight because they both think the performances are garbage. every now and then though they'll turn it up and ruthlessly judge the performer whether it be their outfit, moves, lipsyncing, etc. or if they just don't like the person in general because they're both spiteful of celebrities
zeke
sits either on a chair or couch, silently, 12oz can of cerveza palma in one hand, cigarette in the other, continuously checking his watch even though the time is on the tv. blows one of those paper party horns at exactly 12:00am then gets up and goes to bed
yelena
if the major news networks didn't know who she was on december 31 they definitely will on january 1.
