Yea so Ody is finally home and he’s with his wife and son. It’s all cool and fun. But hold on. Can you imagine how HORRIFYING Odysseus and his family must be to other Royals now?
Here is a king that fought monsters, witches, slaughtered most of the male Nobles in his kingdom. FOUGHT POSEIDON AND MADE HIM BEG FOR MERCY!
And worst of all, he is crazy smart. So negotiating or trying to make deals with Odysseus must be the most horrifying thing in existence at the time. You can’t threaten him, you can’t negotiate a better position than him, you can only just sit there and smile as you pray you don’t accidentally offend him.
Oh and that’s not all, If Penelope also dislikes you, you’re f***ed. Because Odysseus fought a war for 10 years over an oath. Imagine what he would do if someone tried something with his wife… OH WAIT, we don’t have to. He SLAUGHTERED them! And she might not even need him to.
She is from Sparta and by Odysseus own words JUST AS SMART AS HIM. The main reason she didn’t go out and fight those nobles/kick them out is because of the laws of hospitality (which are enforced by Zeus). But with her god piercer husband, she doesn’t need to be so polite anymore. And she held the kingdom together for 20 years! She knows how to handle business. So yea, don’t mess with her either.
And his kid? He’s a warrior of the mind now! Who has the favor of ATHENA! WHO in a very short time learned how to fight. Going from losing a fist fight, to fighting dozens of men who only overwhelmed him because he got TIRED of kicking their asses! He has ATHENA on his side as his best friend. Dont even try
Point is The Ithaca royal family is a f***ing nightmare to deal with now.
So a couple weeks ago I was talking to this girl and brought up my AOT hyperfixation and we were talking for a bit until I brought up Bertholdt being my favorite character. She looked disgusting and said she hated him and that he was a whiny little b****.
I asked her to elaborate and from what I can assume, she was reffering to his mental breakdown in late season 2 (I think episode 36) while all the scouts and shouting at him. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
"Yeah bro ik you were raised as a child soldier for 17 years taught these people were disgusting demons who deserved to be wiped out and put responsible for committing mass genocide on them just to help your terminally ill father and now you have killed hundreds of thousands of people and come to the realization all the people who thought of as your friends and your only source of happiness your entire life actually despise you because obviously and you are being told what to do by your mentally ill best friend who doesn't even know wtf he's doing and now you're stuck in this situation with your entire life on the line but like... man up dude."
Istg men can't be emotional (whether personality-wise or for trauma reasons) in media without being called whiny or annoying and it pisses me tf off.
More aot drawings !
Hello fellow Bertholdt enjoyers. There’s not as many of us here in the Bert fandom but everyone seems pretty nice as far as I can tell. I hope you’re all having a lovely day and that you continue having a lovely week. It’s what Bertl would want.
okay but Jean is the big spoon
he loves being the one to wrap Reiner up in his arms, breathe in the smell he has come to think of as home, comfort
pressing little kisses to the blondes neck till the other is laughing, pulling away with a soft “jean knock it off, your stubble is itchy” which then makes jean bury his face in reiner’s neck, rubbing his cheek against his neck and listening to the laughs spilling past his favorite lips, his boyfriend trying to shove him off, but his long limbs have their advantages
soft nights in bed, under the covers, curled around the back of his love, safe and protected as he listens to the nighttime chatter, reiner’s gentle snores bringing a smile to his face as he kisses his shoulder, caressing the others side as he lets sleep take him
Bertholdt probably isn't autistic in the original show. Most of the "symptoms" people are reffering to are originated from his trauma or depression. The concept is interesting, but not logical when you consider the other factors of his story and character.
Junior High Bertholdt is 110% autistic though

ok so I’ve been seeing once again bertholdt hate. Ok honestly you’re just hating on him because he was always quiet and only with Reiner, calling him useless. But without him, he would’ve have not destroyed the wall, and without him destroying the wall means Eren’s mother would have not died. AND WITHOUT HER DEATH EREN WOULD NOT FEEL SUCH HATRED TOWARDS TITANS!! Bertholdt is an important character. Important to the warriors, important to the plot. He was VERY USEFUL!! Without him, how would Eren become the Attack Titan?? Without Bertholdt no one in the scout regiment wouldn’t meet. Without Bertholdt, Reiner wouldn’t be able to destroy the second wall.
If you call him useless, you did not understand any of the warriors. He was a kid, a kid who was brainwashed to hate the people of Paradis. He was brainwashed to call them devils WITHOUT OUT KNOWING WHO OR HOW THEY TRULY ARE! Propaganda also manipulated him. He just wanted to help his sick father and by doing that he needed to become a warrior.
These bertholdt hate blogs, needs to go study his character and how important he is, HOW IMPACTFUL HE IS TO THE STORY LINE.
Anyways thats all!! I just wanted to talk about this
ok uh i posted a chatfic which will have a light plot but if you’re not into them just ignore its existence on my profile i have a guilty pleasure for them im sorry 😭
