I saw this one post one time and I can’t quite remember what it said but I thought you might know!! It was taking about the scene in the anime where Levi and Erwin are talking in a room and on the bed are two books stacked. The post I saw was saying how two books stacked like that is a symbol for something? Do you know anything about that?
This is really just a fun Eruri fan theory, but it’s a pretty widespread one, I don’t think it can be traced back to a single post. As you know, there's a scene in season 3 of the anime where Erwin and Levi are talking in a bedroom late at night and there are two books lying on the bed in the foreground of the scene, one lying tilted over the other.
This led to all sorts of imaginative theories as to the symbolism of these books and what they might represent. Some of our more creative fans even added little faces to the books to emphasise their, ahem, compromising position. It's all good fun and not to be taken too seriously.
What’s more interesting though is that this particular scene doesn’t appear anywhere in the manga, it was added to the anime, which raised the question why is Levi casually hanging out in what appears to be Erwin’s bedroom so late at night? The plot thickened when the USJ clonoid exhibition opened and Erwin and Levi’s exhibit appeared to be set in the same room. This caused a huge amount of drama at the time with some fans reporting that guides introduced the exhibit as being “Erwin and Levi’s room”, with others swearing blind that the guides said no such thing. Personally, I suspect different guides said different things over the course of the exhibition. Regardless of the drama, on the basis of the anime alone, it appears that Erwin and Levi do indeed spend time together alone in a bedroom at night. Whose bedroom it is, and what, if anything, the books represent, I’ll leave it to you to decide…
