My hand slipped and I sketched a bunch of Aruani family- featuring Baby Aster 💜 I was going for more of the manga/MAPPA style with this, dunno if I pulled it off (the trick is to make the eyes way larger and the noses way smaller than you think they need to be btw 😭✌️)

growing up with a father like hers and then training in the warriors unit was a very harsh experience. annie is seen as an emotionless woman and yet she is the warrior that cries the most out of everyone.

she cried when they took eren from her, realising that she killed a big amount of people for nothing and that she couldn’t go back to her father because the mission wasn’t done yet.

annie is a very strong and independent woman and crying isn’t seen as a weakness in her eyes. annie cries, annie gets frustrated, annie gets mad.

also in this scene she feels SO upset that not only she is crying, but the titan itself. i think it reflects well enough how deep her pain is.

she cries when she gets defeated and realises that she needs to crystallise herself to survive: she doesn’t know if her comrades will save her or when she’ll have the occasion to get out safely. she thought she could finally go home and see her father, but her only wish (and reason to keep living) now looks so far.

Can any of us remember a moment with Annie involving hand-holding

Perhaps this one

Let's zoom out a little bit

Aruani wedding is at this point all but confirmed ladies and gentleman and all folks within and beyond the binary.

There’s a lot of good character moments in here: Jean being recognised by Eren on how much he’s changed since Trost, Historia breaking down over Ymir leaving, and of course, Eren worrying over Mikasa’s broken ribs (the eremika vibe is strong with this one)

A bit early, it's not June 2nd yet - but happy 3rd birthday to VBEOW! Can't believe it's been three whole-ass years. I honestly haven't been able to write as much as I'd hoped this past year, but the story means just as much to me as when it was conceived, if not more! Up until now, the fic has also received much love and I'm honestly so happy and grateful for it T_T thank you all so much.

Thank you Anna, @annawayne , for once again creating something so breathtakingly gorgeous to mark the occasion T/////T The art is just so beautiful I want to make a wall to wall tapestry and stare at it until my eyes bleed akdjjwbdkwjshjw T////T look at aruani enjoying Kald!!! Ughhehdhkwmdiwkdnsks

To many more such birthdays to VBEOW!

The Liars

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.

Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.

Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.

When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.

Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.

Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.

As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.

His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."

Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.

Thanks to @imthearmored for putting the idea of men eating mer-warriors in my brain. Now I can't stop thinking about Eren not knowing about himself and freaking out the first time he growns a tail.

Some notes :

>Annie is based loosely off of a lion fish because they are too much of a menace for their size and that's fucked up

>sharks get very bad rep and also get routinely bullied by other sea menaces and that felt kinda fitting for Reiner (on that note killer whale Eren would be so funny)
