The one scene i saw from 4x08, with Betty and Alice in therapy, is why I can still love Alice throughout all the shitty and inconsistent writing of her character. Not only is Mädchen just SO convincing and heartbreaking but you can always tell, even from season 1, how broken Alice is.

She probably never knew her father. Her mother was most likely a serpent or at least “trailer trash” who slept around and probably didn't give a damn about her children. Alice’s 1 relationship, with FP, was on-and-off. She didn’t have any friends. Her relationship with Hal was all a facade. Polly hated Alice for splitting her and Jason up and sending her away. Alice literally felt unloved her ENTIRE life.

Then there was Betty. A person she loved who actually loved her back. Alice went the complete opposite route of her mother, smothering her children instead. She probably thought that if she made them better than she was, they’d receive the love she never got and they would love her unlike the way she didn't love her own mother.

And while Betty didn’t like it, she’s still always show that she loves Alice. Betty has been Alice’s only consistent source of unconditional love. She’s pretty much Alice’s best friend. And Alice may have FP now but she is probably still scared after their past history that he’ll leave.

Put simply, Alice does not know a healthy way to express love because she has had so little of it in her life up until this point. Betty had her family growing up, her friends, her boyfriend. She knows the way Alice deals with love is unhealthy but she can't relate to it.

I just wish they could delve into the Smith’s past, along with the Jones’, so Alice could confront her past issues and her mother, finally start to heal, and change her current bad habits and fear of losing love.

what do you think erwin's mom was like? do you think she died quiet young? who looked after erwin after his dad was killed?

It’s always been a source of huge frustration that we know nothing about Erwin’s mother, or indeed anything about his childhood and background beyond his father’s death. Isayama was asked about Erwin’s mother during the Q&A and autograph event in Oita last year and his answer was typically vague:

Isayama on Erwin’s MotherIsayama: I am thinking about it nowBakku: I need to take note on it.

Since then, nothing.

One thing that’s clear is that Erwin never really got over his father’s death, and that he harboured feelings of guilt for the rest of his life. That alone makes me think that his mother was not around when he died, because, like any parent of a bereaved child, if she had been there, she would have done everything in her power to convince Erwin that his father’s death was not his fault, and to provide him with all the love and reassurance he needed. Also I’ve just remembered, both the anime and the manga show little Erwin standing alone in front of his father’s grave, so that definitely suggests that his mother was no longer with him.

In terms of who looked after Erwin after his father died, I honestly don’t know. I’m guessing that he was around 8 or 9 when his father was killed, and I suspect he joined the cadets at the age of 14/15, but what happened in the intervening years is anyone’s guess. Was he passed around between relatives perhaps? It’s tragic to think of any bereaved child being left alone in the world.

Whatever happened, I think that both Erwin’s parents were kind and caring and loved their son deeply. Why? Because despite Erwin’s loss and grief and guilt, despite his depression, he never lost his humanity and he never lost sight of the humanity of others. In fact to some extent, his feelings of guilt and grief are proof of that. He could so easily have become angry, bitter, callous and sadistic (cf Zeke Jeager), but he didn’t. I also think that the fact that Erwin was able to form relationships based on love, trust and mutual respect, is proof that he experienced all those things as a child (again, cf Zeke Jeager). So even though we may never know anything about Erwin’s mother, I think we can infer from her son, one of the bravest and best of men, that she was a kind, strong and inspiring woman.

Day 1 of Erwin Smith Week: Birthday!

It’s amazing what happens when you’re watching The Shining... I was very tempted to make a Eruri picture for Erwin’s birthday but I didn’t see any pictures of Erwin with his parents for his birthday so this was born!

Kidwin and Papa Smith +my design for Mama Smith! I always pictured her as a Molly Weasley character, honestly. Warm, motherly but very fierce and protective nonetheless. I head canon that she is alive in canon and is constantly worried over Erwin but still very supportive. She’s kinda like the grandma of the Survey Corps too, fretting over Erwin and the gang when they come to visit her. She also approves of Erwin and Levi wholeheartedly because she feels better knowing her son is in good hands.

Mother: Remember we've got that thing on the weekend.

Me: Yup, got it.

Father: What's she talking about?

Me: The thing. You know, with the stuff. She told me last week.

Father: First I'm hearing of it.

Me: You live in the same house!

Parents: (shrug hard)

Marriage means comfortably not talking to each other for hours and days at a time.

Me: (over phone) But maybe this April Fool's Day my prank will be that I don't play any pranks and you all will just live in unfulfilled terror until midnight.

Mother: (radio silence for a moment) ...You are an imp sent to torment me.

Mama Smith: (retrieving the silverware drawer) Not the feeling I would ascribe to that, no
