Eren’s Bucket List
The idea for this list is based off a post made by bleachlists.
As you all may be aware, the Attack on Titan universe is a dangerous place. Sure, its no Game of Thrones, but the mortality rates are still pretty damn high. Isayama has also proven that he is perfectly fine with killing off beloved characters. *cough*Marco*cough*
So let’s pretend that Eren suddenly became aware of the fact that him being the main character does not in fact give him plot armor against a horrible death. What would he like to do before he kicks the bucket?
1. Find out what the hell is in the basement
To be fair, this one would probably make several of the characters, as well as most of the fandom’s, bucket lists. And while he’s at it, maybe get to the bottom of all the other mysteries Isayama has created, such as the ape titan.
Hanji: Eren, we finnaly managed to make it to the Shiganshina district and...
Hanji: The basement is just an empty room.
Eren: ...
Eren: *high-pitched screech*
Fandom: *high-pitched screech*
2. Get to glimpse the ocean.
One of his childhood dreams.
Armin: Well Eren according to my calculations there is no way we’ll actually get to the ocean without getting ripped apart, so here is a kiddie pool with a blue screen behind it! Now if you’ll just squat down so that the water looks as vast as possible, and I’ll make some wave noises.
Eren: ...
Eren: Thanks, man.
3. Wrap the scarf around Mikasa one last time.
Because a promise is a promise.
Jean: Jaeger, hold on! Just stay alive until those freak regeneration powers of your kick in, dammit!
Eren: *shallow breathing* I’m sorry, guys. This is the end of the line for me...
Mikasa: Eren, don’t say that-
Eren: No,Mikasa, there’s no time, I need you to listen to me. Come here.
Mikasa: Yes, of course.
Eren: Good. Now kneel down. *makes constipated face*
Mikasa: Eren, what are you-
Eren: Well, my arms are sort of gone, so I’m trying to use the force to tie the scarf around you one last time.
Mikasa: ...
Mikasa: If you weren’t dying right now, I would fucking kill you.
4. See Jean dressed up as a horse.
Now this would be hard to achieve, but I can think of one way.
Eren: *coughs up blood* Jean... I have one final request for you too...
Jean: Please tell me it’s not something weird like with Mikas- I mean sure, man, anything.
Eren: *produces horse mask out of thin air*
Eren: I need you to wear this for me,Jean.
Jean: Jaeger, there is no way in hell-
Eren: Please, there’s no time..
Jean: *reluctantly puts on mask*
Eren: NAHAHAHA I GOT YOU GUYS GOOD THERE DIDN’T I! MAN JEAN I MUST SAY I CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MASK AND YOUR NORMAL FACE
Eren: I WILL PAY YOU TO NEIGH RIGHT NOW
Jean: Mikasa, do you want to kill him or should I?
5. Be an organ donor
In case his whole 'save everyone' plan doesn't pan out, Eren still wants to help others. And considering his regenerative powers, he could at least donate a limb or a organ or something to another unfortunate survey corps member.
Hanji: Eren, you realise we don't have the technology for this yet.
Eren: Well, you have a perfectly good research subject right here.
Hanji: I like the way you think.
6. Get to talk to his mom again.
This is more of a general hope than anything he actually hopes to achieve.
Carla: Eren! You've gotten so big!
Eren: Mom!
Carla: Have you been taking care of Mikasa?
Eren: Yes, of course! Eh... mostly...
Carla: ...
Carla: EREN JAEGER WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TRIED TO SQUISH HER LIKE A BUG
7. Eat a decent meal.
What with the suvey corps meals of thin soup and stale bread as well as all the kidnapping and hiding thats been going on, the 104th squad hasn't really been getting a very varied diet.
Eren: Man, this is so good! Sasha, what is it?
Sasha: It's something called bacon! I got it from the commanders supply closet.
Eren: I am going to die a happy man.
8. Touch Erwins eyebrows.
Are they eyebrow toupes? Caterpillars that colonize people's faces like some horrible eyebrow parasites? Actual wings that will propel him off the ground in extreme situations?
Erwin: Eren, for your great contributions to humanity, I will grant you any one wish, as long as it is within my power.
Eren: I want to touch your eyebrows, please.
Erwin: Um, alright.
Eren: *reaches forward with trembling fingers and touches an eyebrow*
104th squad: *waits with baited breath*
Eren: ...
Eren:...
Eren: I think I just had an epiphany.
