anybody else incredibly unsettled by the amount of people in the aot fandom that think levi surviving was the worst ending isayama could have possibly given him?
yes, he was certainly in a horrible place post-rumbling, and i genuinely could not imagine the pain & survivor’s guilt he would have had to go through after watching everybody he loves die, but saying that it would have been easier on him to just die feels like a disservice to his entire character.
ever since he was born levi never lived for himself. every day was a constant battle to stay alive, living in a perpetual state of viligance and paranoia. and yet, despite everything, he is still the most empathetic character. he still finds beauty and a reason to move forward in a world that has been nothing but cruel to him. if anybody deserves this peaceful aftermath, it’s him.
