he is literally perfect. happy birthday to my number one. you deserve all these posts. i love you.
the juxtaposition of his personality is undoubtedly my favorite thing about him. he’s incredibly layered. he’s simultaneously rude and hard and rough around the edges while also being the most empathetic person in the entire series. he cares so deeply, and he shows it in such an “actions over words” way which to me is exactly what i look for in a person. i don’t like receiving affection, i don’t like “soft” or “mushy” men. but i like empathy and kindness. people seem to forget that you can be empathetic, kind, caring, compassionate etc and still have the personality that levi does. i don’t like to be one of the people who pretends he’s someone he’s not despite his empathy. i mean it is truly essential to remember that one can embody both empathy and kindness, as well as other qualities, such as bluntness, rudeness, and violence, which levi also has. and i find it frustrating when people dismiss the complexity of his character. these aspects can coexist without one masking the other. his empathic nature does not negate his other qualities, instead, they coexist, creating this amazing and multi-dimensional person who embodies the very core of what it means to be human. you need to be able to accept all his qualities as a whole to love him. because see, that’s what makes him so great in my eyes. because let’s be real, nobody is all good. that’s just impossible. but levi, and all those qualities that make him so incredibly human, all those layers of his personality, the good and the bad…they mold together into this amazing person who to me is quite simply, perfect
