But my words like silent raindrops fell

Lazio!

Awwww 🥺🥺💜💜

I was thinking I could make a pre-order list of the people who are interested just to see the number.

Then try and make an artbook, printing just the number of copies I got ordered and also calculating the shipping to wherever you guys live, to be certain that it wouldn't be too expensive for you (and that I get some money out of it too 😂)

I can't open the link, says it's non existent. Do you have a screenshot of the picture?

Aww thank you 🥺🥺💜 it's a huge compliment. It does make sense 🫂

Hi! Thank you 🥺

The best one imo is Beginning Middle and Overture by @littlelasagne but you need time because it's super long. Totally worth it though, everything is impeccable.

(she wrote a couple of one shots too that are gorgeous and some Hange diaries)

One shots I love that I can think of right now are

- Onto something by @someonestolemyshoes (anything she writes is perfect tbh)

- September by @autumndory

- Four Eyes by @elmundodeflor

Oh and check out @glassesandswords and @smallblip too. They were my first readings 💜

I have another one shot in mind too but I don't remember it's name right now, I'll let you know asap 💜 thank you for stopping by

Hi, omg thank you 🥺💜 what an honour!

I actually never thought about amab Hange, my HC is NB Hange but I usually go with how I feel when I draw them, so either NB or trans, or even female (but that's becoming rarer and rarer lately). But amab is good too 🥹 I think any gender works for Hange and that's part of their beauty.

Thank you!!! I'll think about it. I already have another one for blue 💙

Awww thank you so much 🥺💜

no problem!

I think it's pretty obvious my favourite is Levihan

Then I have Royai

And I think Howl and Sophie are my third ones

I do have others I like a lot too, like Caitvi from Arcane, Katradora from She Ra and the Princesses of Power, Lumity from The Owl House and Korrasami from The Legend of Korra

oh hi!

I actually haven't!!

2. Todd from Bojack Horseman. I won't enter into detail cause it's too personal, but he's helped me in ways no character except maybe Levi ever has.

3. Sophie (and Howl) from Howl's Moving Castle, I absolutely love that movie (and book) and Sophie is one of the few female characters with whom I easily identify. Howl is a gem too of course.

4. Hange from AOT, brave selfless and super smart. They helped me too along with Levi

5. Sam from LOTR, he's the bravest. most selfless and loyal of friends and he's truly an inspiration for me

6. Jigen from Lupin III series. I have a thing for silent characters haha the less words they say the better (like Levi hahah)

7. Roy from FMAB, Royai was my first real ship so they have a special place in my heart

8. Riza from FMAB, same reason as Roy, they're also both cool AF

9. Deadpool from Marvel Comics, I read the vast majority of his comics and I love him wholeheartedly, especially when he interacts with Spiderman

10 Selene from Underworld, I grew up watching this movie a thousand times and Kate Beckinsale has always been one of my favourite characters

so here they are more or less hahah these are the ones that came to mind first.

I would also add Ripley from Alien and the Doctor from Doctor Who, I'm a hardcore Eleven fan, my obsession is gone but I still love Matt Smith a lot. Oh and maybe Jamie and Brienne from GOT (the books, not the series with the mess they made)

Awww hi! Thank you 💜💜

I loved it!!

I really don't get all the complains I'm seeing here and on Twitter.

Mappa did an astounding job portraying Hange's last moments, staying true to the manga and at the same time making it better and more cinematographic.

The frames are the same as the manga, it appears quicker because animation is always like that, you can't stay on it as long as you want like with a manga panel.

Plus the pace was already quick, they're running out of time, Hange has to buy them some last precious moments to fix the plane and flee. They can't dwell on the single frames too much. It's all part of the narrative.

"Dedicate your heart" is a Levihan scene ofc but it's first and foremost an Hange scene. It's their moment to shine, the big hero departure, the ultimate sacrifice to let the others leave and live.

That's also why I appreciated Mappa making their fight longer, we get to see Hange at their best, first humour (even in their last moments), then determination, then awe at the beauty of Titans and science, then badass fighting like we've never seen before culminating in the afterlife welcome from the other Vets.

I don't think they could have done it better.

As for Levihan itself, I saw complains about Levi not showing emotions or the "dedicate your heart" scene not being the love scene it should be.

Now, we can compare it with the Aruani moment. That has been changed, the wrist grab has become hand grab, they blush and they're embarrassed, they're teenagers.

Levihan are adults, Veterans trained for a long time to hide their emotions and feelings leaving space for duty and freedom.

You don't need a kiss or a hug to show they're in love (but I'll do it and add it anyway in my drawings 😂)

As much as I would have died to see it myself, we all know it wasn't going to happen. They don't have room for big manifestations of love. AOT is not like that.

And honestly, at least to me, Levihan is in the little things, little everyday gestures and moments that build and strengthen their relationship, the fact that Levi never said those words to anyone else, adding the use of the left hand (the hand of the heart not the hand of duty), speaks volumes about how he feels in my opinion.

Hange's surprise and smile are equally meaningful.

Same goes for Levi's tears. He doesn't need to cry to show his emotions. He's constipated and we know it, but you can see his pain in his posture, in how he's cradling his hands on his lap, in his lack of expressiveness, in the empty stare, in the determination he has to fight once more and not make Hange's sacrifice in vain.

It's not by chance that everyone is screaming and crying when Hange dies, huge tears rolling down their cheeks, faces disfigured while Levi's the only one who stays quiet and silent, almost spacing out. And I think this is very in character (no matter how much I make him cry in my stuff 😂).

It's not easy to adapt from comic to animation and I think Mappa really did their best keeping the line of the manga while improving it and making it better at the same time.

That being said I only have one last thing to say, LEVIHAN CANON 😌

Thank you for the ask and sorry for the pep talk 😂
