Fiction? That's a blessing.

Can you imagine a world with no light? An endless abyss at night, where there could be anything lurking in the darkness. When I drive outside the city with no light anywhere and look through the forests, I get sad. I wonder how we used to survive without there being lamps all around the world. We had fire, yes, but that is not light pollution like we have now. 

Nobody could survive their whole life in darkness, yet that is exactly how a lot of people feel on the inside. Like the abyss is crawling in from their eyes and ears, completely consuming their mind and body. That’s how I feel. That’s what mental illness is. The feeling of forever being in a tunnel, with no light at the end of it. Like the end and beginning have collapsed and inside is a maze that keeps on changing, getting lost in there forever. It is said that one day everyone will be able to make their way out. They just need to make their own tools to help. Their whole lives they try to make them. But you never actually escape it. When you manage to get out, there’s still dirt under your nails, there’s all the cave creatures that you left alone in there and there’s the memory of it.

Oh, and maybe the main story

and sometimes im like ‘oh my god eren’

Oh My God Eren!

oh my god

Eren: After me.

Priest: Is… is he serious?

Okay, Wow

I usually try to keep the hate here to a minimum but well…

Listen, I have no problem whatsoever if you hate ereri, hate the ship but don’t you dare hate on the people who love the pair, I thought we’ve been through this already

Ok, I’m gonna start off by stating some of the reasons why I ship ereri (since you’re implying that there’s no reason for us to ship the pair)

First, we know that Levi is confirmed to be anything but straight ‘‘gay or asexual’‘ by Isayama himself  x , We basically were told that Levi has no interest in women and only likes tall people ‘’ cough, Eren.. cough’‘

And since you called it, let’s have some canon ereri facts, shall we?

- Levi was the only one who was able to see through Eren, he was the only one who knew his true self from the very first moment he saw him, that’s why he asked to be responsible for him, he believes he’s the only one who could stop Eren in case he ‘‘lost control’‘ by killing him

after the court scenewhere he HAD to beat him up, Levi who only cares about Eren’s safety asked him if he hated him, now that doesn’t sound like someone who doesn’t care

Levi knew he went a little overboard, and he wanted to make sure that Eren who he doesn’t care about didn’t hate him, which is why he also looks so very relieved after Eren’s answer

also part of me feels that Levi sees him self in Eren, he was in his situation before

We could say he had a soft spot for him since the beginning

Now, after Eren joined the survey corps, Levi went out of his way to figure out a way in which he could stop Eren if things got out of hand without killing him

Now why would he even bother if he himself knows Eren is a ‘‘monster’‘ as stated in the VS (x,x)?

( the VS needs a whole post itself, it basically revolves around ereri and oh boy the way Levi sees Eren is just fascinating, Levi refers to Eren as a monster with perfect fearsome beauty, he also reveals that nothing can stop this monster from doing what it wants, not even love, Levi understands that the love is more powerful than anything in the world, he is not a cold person who is unable to love, he accepts Eren as he is, he even wants him to let it go and be himself ‘‘a monster’‘ that is rejected by everyone but him)

after Eren has turned into a titan by accident, Levi was the only one who defended him instead of being prepared to finish him off, he already did take a liking to him, not to mention that he’s the only one among the group who understood him perfectly

He even went to check on him, on how he feels

Now, after Levi’s squad got killed by the female titan, we could clearly see that Levi really cares about Eren as a person not just a pawn to defeat titans

(If you watched the VS btw, you could hear the desperate tone in Levi’s voice when calling Eren after getting him out of the female titan’s mouth)

after returning to the castle, Levi tried to comfort Eren, he knows he felt guilty and he wanted to take his pain away, and seeing someone like Levi being ignored but still trying to get a reaction out of someone is a rare sight, I have to say/

Not only that but he felt like a burden had been lifted off of his shoulders after seeing Eren’s smile

After revealing the true identity of the female titan, Levi was in no condition to defend Eren so he had to stay behind, didn’t stop him from worrying tho  

Levi was told by Erwin to stay put, but he didn’t listen even though he knew that Hange was there, heck the whole survey corps members were there including Mikasa, the strongest one in the survey corps after him

Yet, he was the one who saved him (that’s the only time he would have to disobey Erwin’d orders) to save the bae

Levi constantly worrying about Eren is a  normal thing

It is a fact that he cares about him more than anyone of his squad members, and not just cuz he’s humanity’s hope

Again, he was the only one who took notice of his ‘‘terrible’‘ condition

In the last panel, instead of giving him orders he apologized, he actually apologized for always depending on him, they were on the verge of death and he still gave him a choice, even if that choice costed them their life, he didn’t care about the life of humanity’s hope, but for Eren himself

So, yeah I understand your point of view, and it’s not like we saw his smile for the first time because of Eren or anything

Nope, I believe that their relationship is strictly…

…..professional?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

also, I’m pretty sure the animators ship them as well, or we wouldn’t have this

I mean they already have matching rings

THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT

…We basically were told that Levi has no interest in women and only likes tall people ‘’ cough, Eren.. cough” I did not know, I DID NOT DUCKING KNOW

I SHIP THIS LIKE 9999% MORE NOW

Ah, with the Japanese scans it seems that a Chinese version of the interview is also out, so here is a Chinese-to-English translation (That includes the Levi tidbits I already did earlier this week). They did not translate the five pages of Isayama’s own interview, but here’s the full Q&A at least!

Translating/Adding behind the Read More as I go along (Please refresh):

–

Q: In Captain Levi’s view, who is the best at cleaning? A: Right now it's Eren.

Q: What does Isayama-sensei want to tell Levi the most? A: Levi has slight bouts of insomnia, so I want to tell him “Go quickly to sleep.”
