what if smart armin and dumb y/n. what would that relationship look like? this is related to armin making u (and me) look dumb š¤£š¤£š¤£
LMAOOO okay genuinely, I donāt think Armin would be mean or ever call someone dumb out loud or to their face, unless that someone is Eren; but heās been friends with Eren, he certainly knows how to handle being around an idiot lolololol
First of all, there are different applications of intelligence. For as bright and academically brilliant as Armin is, heās kind of a social dunce š¤š¤ I donāt mean heās socially awkward or reclusive, but he might be a little slow to see when people like or dislike him, doesnāt always quite pick up on when people around him are keeping secrets, things like that. So you could out-class him there easily. If not, then good luck living in your little oblivious bubble </2
Thereās also a difference between like not being that bright when it comes to academics or complex topics, and just refusing to better yourself or become more knowledgable on things all together. He probably wouldnāt like the latter and conflate it with ignorance.
But if youāre just kind of ditzy or someone who needs a little bit longer to process their school work, he would think itās cute and probably look on very fondly like, āAh, what a klutz. My little klutz <22ā
If you do little things that are dumb, thatās fine heās not going to have a fit LOLOLL like if you forget things a lot, or are a little unorganized, or are a little sleepy all the time; he thinks itās cute. Youāre a little bit of a mess, but a cute mess.Ā
When it comes to academics, heās not shocked or appalled either. See, he knows heās smart, and itās not like he thinks everyone whoās not as smart as him is a total idiot. He understands heās a little bit sharper than most people in that sense. Really, he would probably just think youāre normal, and it wouldnāt shock him if you didnāt understand what he was studying or talking about when it comes to school work.Ā
I donāt think he would actually try to actively make his s/o feel dumb LOLL THAT WOULD BE MEAN heās not mean spirited, nor does he have an ego like that
He would like it if you listened to him ramble on about the very complicated but very cool things he was interested in though. You donāt have to know a lot to make him feel appreciated :)Ā
Not that you asked about this, but Iāve talked about it before: he would think youāre cute (and honestly, just normal) if youāre not as academically smart as him, but he would get turned on very easily if you were; and very quickly if you ever challenged him byeĀ
Now, the reason I would personally have beef with Armin is because if he were in my class I would technically need to know everything he knows, but I donāt and I wouldnāt like to see his coconut head show me up every lecture bye.Ā
