If you’re having Aot or Eren malnourishment this will be the place for you. Also let me know if you wanna be admin. Team work make the dream work <3

It’s okay Isayama, I remember Frenz. And will vouch for his fandom (not just because he’s named after my favorite author). Join me in requiem:

Rip Kafka & Kefka.

I would love to actually😭I impulsively started jotting down ideas but right now I’m in the middle of exams so maybe after this week.

I finish very soon tho!! I’m glad you like the drabble💓 you’re a real one 😛

For you, summer always entailed an annual visit to Paradis Island with your parents. Growing up as an only child often left you at the mercy of Eren and Armin’s whims: whether it was risky races to the sea cliff with the Jaeger stallions or being dared to hijack the sails of Mr. Arlert’s yacht while he fished. Still, you could at least forget about the frigid corners of the city under the blistering sun of the island.

Dr. K uploaded an insightful analysis of Eren’s pathology in a recent video, in which he points out his symptoms of sociopathy. According to him, Eren’s type of is trauma Moral Injury. A newly classified type of PTSD under the DSM-5. Commonly found in victims of war. Adding that it causes depersonalization (a PTSD coping mechanism) which allows him detach to enact violence, consequently The Rumbling.

He also hinted at Grisha’s possible sociopathy because he injected his son, but he hasn’t finished the series so I think once he sees Eren’s involvement in the whole event he will change his opinion (he’s still a terrible father imo). As I’m watching the video & reflecting on the manga, to me the overarching pattern I’m noticing is justification. Which is found in almost every character’s decision making. I remember someone once told me to be wary of a person who holds power & exercises it but believes they don’t. Somewhere in the video Dr. K mentions cognitive empathy. Basically it’s when someone can reason that certain behaviors are harmful to others but still decides to do them.

But is Eren really that apathetic?

Prior to the attack on Wall Maria you could argue he showcases signs of antisocial behavior. The lack of friendships in his age group, a lack of hesitancy to murder two men in defense of Mikasa, and his general disdain towards mundane life within the walls. And sure, he reasoned to himself to proceed with the rumbling. Freedom, choice and autonomy is his whole philosophy right? Eren says it himself “I’ve always been this way. Ever since I was born.” So I don’t think this hints at sociopathy, rather he always valued authenticity & has a high sense of morality.

I just can’t help but wonder if Eren says that due to a traumatized self-perception. As if he resigned himself to the inevitable. The end. Had the circumstances been different would he really think that way? What I observed is that the perception of freedom is absolutely skewed. It’s an interesting take on Dr. K’s part. It’s shame we mostly see the story take place within the context of violent events. I think the quiet parts of the series reveal a more nuanced view on his psyche.
