Jean: Valentine’s Day Is Just A Consumerist Holiday That Holds No Real Value Other Than Drive People

need my emotional support escapism gays to save me from this dark cruel world

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.

I feel like the absolute turmoil titan shifters go through is severely overlooked because they have no scars to show it.

Of course their wounds heal, but the pain is still very real. The trauma of having your limbs brutally chopped/bitten/blown off is still very real. The agony they suffer, both mentally and physically, every time they have to self harm in order to shift is still very real.

They've suffered horrific wounds that nobody should have to endure. But they heal, and then they go on to endure it some more.

When I remember that Eren gouged out his own eye and cut off his own leg, I just feel so sick to my stomach for him. I can't imagine the mental fortitude it would take to do something like that- to go against every instinct and bone in your body screaming at you not to do it, all for the purpose of achieving a goal.

So I recently got stuck in an elevator (as one does on occasion) and my first thought while waiting for the fire department was how FUNNY it would be to hear Reiner/Jean bickering over “who broke the elevator” and which one of them gets claustrophobic and starts panicking versus which one has to calm the other down. Thoughts?

maaaaate that is madness!!! first of all, i'm glad you're still here with us in this mortal coil. that sounds legitimately terrifying, even if it was only for a few minutes!! how long were you stuck for?

this is one of the only scenarios where the "forced proximity" trope would NOT work on me - i don't care who's sexy ass i'm stuck in there with, i will be having a full blown ugly crying panic attack.

that being said... i remember reading a ✨️truly scrumptious✨️ jean fic with this exact scenario - i'll go dig it out on Ao3, but you might already know the one?

jean is panicking for sure. he didn't realise he was claustrophobic, and he just found out in the worst way possible!! at first he'd probably freak out and try not to show it. he's the 'this is fine' dog meme, meanwhile his whole life is flashing before his eyes. bro is pacing.

reiner is trying to be the voice of reason but everything he's saying is making it ten times worse 😭😭

"just stay calm." "i AM calm reiner!" "we've pressed the alarm, the guy said they're working on it." "but he didn't say how long it would take - what if we're in here all night? what if one of us needs to piss, or... oh GOD" "we're only 3 floors up... that might not be lethal?" "jesus christ do you hear yourself?? do you hear what you're saying right now? are you some kind of elevator expert all of a sudden?" "maybe, uhh... maybe we can try to pry the doors open?" "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!"

i also think the only reason reiner isn't panicking himself is because he needs to be calm for jean's sake!! he's a brave boi and goes into Leader Mode when he feels compelled to keep it together for another person, but if he was on his own in there he'd be like:

hehehe thank you for this my dear, i love yapping about reijean <3

counter question - how are jean and pieck coping with this?

After the Ithaca Saga, I believe that Odysseus thought he and Athena were officially done forever and would only occasionally see each other because she was mentoring Telemachus now. He really thinks there's no way they can reconnect anymore and attempt at a friendship this time, but he's fine with it, he can accept it.

That is until Telemachus goes up to him one day like:

"Hey father, can I ask you something?"

"Yes son, of course."

"You mentored under Athena before right? Do you happen to know a friend of hers?"

"Oh I... I wasn't aware Athena had friends before. She was very adamant about that "No Friends" rule back then... kind of stings."

"Oh really? She talks about him a lot."

"Does she now? *mumbling* must be so special about this fRieNd of Athena..."

"Yeah she told me about this one time he wanted to impress someone, so he climbed on all the way to the tree branch next to the balcony of their room and leaned against the trunk to look cool, but he kept talking to Athena in her owl appearance so he didn't notice the other person going to the balcony and he got so spooked when they called out to him, he turned too fast and lost balance, slipped, smacked his ass on the tree branch and broke his arm when he fell, so he had to wear a sling for 3 months and couldn't sit down for 2 weeks."

"....call Athena right now."

"Why-"

"ATHENA!!!"

The second Athena appeared, Odysseus threw himself at her, on one hand going "YOU CONSIDER ME YOUR FRIEND WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!?!?!?!" and on the other going "WHY ARE YOU TELLING MY SON ALL MY EMBARRASSING STORIES!?!?! THAT WAS BETWEEN ME, PENELOPE AND YOU!!"

He was actually crying. Athena has absolutely no idea what is happening or what she should do. Telemachus just discovered a whole new side of his dad and might know where he gets it from now....

Headcanon that the Scouts somehow manage to convince Ramen and Burrito to stay with them, and Hange kinda adopts them, because who wouldn't want to adopt titan shifter teenagers? It's a little awkward among the cadets, but hey, a dysfunctional found family doesn't sound so bad for these two, no?

Would never happen but idgaf I want them alive and on therapy
