Redraw of a preeeeeeeeetty old drawing i made for @marshmelluh back in 2013. Dana is like the muse of the redraws (?)

A SASSY BOY!! Tyler is the boy!

The following answer assumes Isayama finally acknowledges Armin makes his manga boring and awful to read.

The sacrifice part became twisted because of Levi’s decision to save him from near-death. As a result, he was given a further reason to not die. Especially when the SL lacked strategists and Hange is becoming more and more useless thanks to Armin’s 3 cups = 3 people level of genius, and when they have a living nuke at disposition who can do the same damage than its more competent predecessor, thanks to Gary Stu powers.

Not in a position of regrets - Ch. 85

And let’s be honest here, it’s not like he was a burden with everything aforementioned above. But hey. Since it was presented as such a dramatic choice, where are the consequences? Armin has no issues with his titan, no issues in strategies, the only difficulty he’d confronted to is Eren’s recklessness, and even then, he still wasn’t thrown off by the hints Eren left during these four years.

That leads me to think Armin’s biggest issue is his attachment to Eren and how he has trouble stepping up against him. This is also why he wasn’t completely against his plan either, but that’s only because Eren set things in motion.

What Isayama released through this chapter is the content of his interview from ANSWERS, where he said Eren, Mikasa and Armin are going to part up ways. Interestingly enough, they stay on the same camp, but they no longer support each other’s decisions. I guess that’s why we were introduced to Marley and the people who are mostly anti-Eren and anti-Paradis (Gabi, Reiner, the entirety of the warrior unit). Those will likely take Eren down directly, and Armin and Mikasa are going to aid them by their non-interference.

The way I see Armin going is through him making a poor decision, leading to his demise.

For starters, his speech in chapter 106 is a copypasta of this:

Notice the fatalistic approach Armin has? - Ch. 77

And after Bertolt showed up, he tried to negotiate once again, to no avail, considering neither Bertolt not Reiner had the intention to explains themselves. This is also what led to Marco’s death in the first place: he wanted to talk, but the warriors didn’t want to.

Even Eren doesn’t get what Armin is getting at - Ch. 78

Considering what happened in Liberio, every attempt to negotiate will fall on deaf ears. If we take this parallel in Shiganshina, Armin will probably come up with a last attempt to talk things over to stop the eventual bloodshed, only to be met with the same result. It falls on deaf ears, except the failed attempt will result in Armin’s demise this time. 

The reason why I can’t see Reiner treating Armin the way he treated Ymir is because both situations are different. Marcel’s death was mostly accidental and Ymir never had any clear sides to begin with (except the one treating Historia well). Meanwhile, Bertolt’s death was an intentional sacrifice. he was fed to the enemy and the enemy in return attacked Liberio. On the other hand, I doubt Armin will sell himself to the warriors. If he does that, not only Paradis is lost, but that’d also negate the point of Liberio’s attack.

I can imagine the end of a battle where everybody and their titans is exhausted. When Armin pulls out of his titan, he’s surrounded by a dense fog, with everybody who had fled the scene. He doesn’t expect Reiner, who’s still around, inside of his titan, having enough energy for a last move. As Armin tries to make sense of the scene, Reiner grips his legs, Armin looks at an Armored Titan ready to sink his teeth in his body. He makes his Gesumin face when he’s about to die as Reiner crunches his upper body. Reiner uses his last bit of strength to chew his spine. The Colossus is eaten.

How I feel about this character: She’s certainly a personification of bittersweetness as a whole; can’t remember anything but it’s probably for the best considering her family has a pissy selfish parasite (Pissisite?) as the closest thing to a companion but he later grows something of an actual heart for her she makes a wish to help someone in great need but it backfires due to it being impure

All the people I ship romantically with this character: … .. .a few years later with Samson

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Painwheel of course

My unpopular opinion about this character: … I got nothing on this one TBH.

I have the headcanon that Emily is a bookworm for teen monster and magic novels, at the point she has her own blog for just talk about how sexy vampires and werewolves are
