#tyrei

this was such a pleasant surprise!! i've been selfshipping for almost a decade now but the embarrassment of sharing it never seems to go away lol- so being met with such positivity has me overjoyed! as long as it makes u happy and doesn't harm anyone there's nothing "cringe" abt it. :^)

thank u for the kind words, its been epic to see so many reiner fans here, i'm in my element HAHA so i'll continue sharing my art when i can!

(also side note, im not easily bothered so dw at all!! i may rename my inbox submissions to smthn broader than "asks" as well, as i welcome just abt anything here)

For just Tyra: How easy is it to make Tyra angry? Do they show the anger or do they choose to hide it?

For TyRei: What was the main big thing that drew them to each other?

And!

What is the worst thing you've put Tyra through story-wise? (if there is a storyline that is!)

-🦌 (also, are there any pronouns you would prefer to be used for Tyra? I'm dumb and couldn't figure out what to use there...)

waow tyra interest jumpscare LOL these questions are so fun! thank u dear (deer) anon for sending em in!!

tyra started out as just a self insert in drawings to show love for my faves, the change to an actual, somewhat lore adhering oc was gradual and i'm still tweaking their design and lore all th time! tho her resemblance to myself still remains :^3

anger?:

up until around age 16-17, tyra (ty at this point) is almost never seen angry; because he just doesn't feel it, not having the mental strength to allow himself to. fearing confrontation and wanting to people please to a fault are the biggest contributors to this.

after years of combat and grief they develop a backbone and some bitterness. i think this anger would be difficult for them to hide, with the lack of coping skills of it being kinda uncharted emotional territory for them.

tyrei draw-ins?:

for tyra altho the attraction to reiner was initially from his popularity, their draw-in to him was from their ability to see through the cracks in the mask of his likeable persona. ty wanted to know what drove him to maintain it, wanted to learn the strength it took to uphold a version of yourself you aspired to be, even if you weren't quite it, so that they could apply it to themself.

for reiner it was the peculiarity of ty, how they stepped forward only with the intent of helping others, in a greedy, selfish and fear-filled world. it almost angered him how little regard they had for themself, and he came to find this wasn't only the feeling of the "soldier" in him.

tyra's worst experience?:

loving reiner LOL between the lies and trauma and walls he puts up, even in their happily-ever-after, he is such a difficult man to care for 💔 but she would do it all over again.
