Mooon!
Long time no see though I did see recently you published a new chapter of VBEOW!
I'm rewatching AOT, and seeing cadet Armin made me fall in love with him even more X3
Tell me, do you have any head canons specifically for Cadet AruAni?
(I'm sure you do, given how you are one of the CEOs of the AruAni base XD)
I published it 84 years ago... and pretty sure CEOs who don't work don't remain CEOs for very long...
But heyyy, long time no see, yes! How have you been? :3
Cadet armin? Ohhhh cadet Armin π« π« π« I know I've spent more time and post-space giggling and screaming about timeskip Armin more than cadet Armin, but I guess... if I hadn't obsessed over Cadet Armin back in the day, I would never be here right? Ofc Cadet Armin appeals to me, because one of the thing I love most about this Armin era is how he feels... more open and free-spirited than timeskip era. Sure, the biggest contributing factor is that things are very different. But it's just... it's just... *gestures helplessly* T/////T
Like for SURE (and I say with confidence!) Cadet Aruani is wilder! Am I talking about smut? Not necessarily. It's just that they're much younger and the burden of what's about to come is still on the horizon (but not here here yet) so they have the time, the peace of mind, the ability to just... go for it. You know? Go for it, a relationship of sorts, and see what happens. They're younger, they haven't betrayed one another yet, they're still two people with the capacity to be free and more open with each other. Throw in the mutual curiosity and OOHhhhhh π« π« π«
But like... I guess if I had to pick one headcanon specifically, it's that I always think about how warm and soft those moments when Aruani probably spent time together were. Basically, just spending time. Whatever timetables they had, if it overlapped, or if their names happened to be on the roster next to each other, or even if Armin wasn't on stable duty one particular afternoon, he went to the stables because Annie was there, and he spent time with her, talking, laughing, earning her rare smiles. Then later, it's her turn to show up when least expected because he has the night watch on Wall Maria and she doesn't, so she brings some fruit and everything she's unable to say and keeps him company. Spending time becomes natural and so... warm. Just so warm.
