Levi Ackerman

featuring my ugly drum heart

AND SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3

YES, YOU READ ME RIGHT

SPOILERS

So if you get spoiled it ain't my fault 🤚

Why do I like this character so much? One of the main reasons is that I used to hate him. I was twelve and new to anime so I didn't fully appreciate characters unless they were perfect (dumb, ik 🙄)

Anyways, I hated him because of the court scene in which he beats the :poop: (look at me censor myself when I'm writing a post) out of Eren. At the time, I was adamant that he was a bad character because I was close-minded and didn't accept that he had a reason for it, this strong dislike led to me starting to nit-pick at things that weren't even all that bad. It was actually thanks to my ex-friend who told me she knew I'd like him one day, that encouraged me to learn more about his character. Why was she so sure I would like him, when I hated him?

Apparently, she knew me better than I knew myself because I fell for his depressing backstory faster than I knew why.

That's when I became one of "those" fangirls who think their favourite character can do no wrong and I did the exact opposite of what I used to and jumped the gun, thinking he was some amazing character when he did the smallest thing.

As time went on and I watched the anime, I was beginning to notice flaws in his character that I couldn't completely justify, like how quick he was to berate Eren even though he was trying his best (supposedly :unamused: ). It was the female titan arc that led me to where I am now, where he essentially tells Eren that all he's doing is making the choices he thinks are best at the time and not regretting it simply because doing so will end badly, furthermore, in season three (skipping season 2 because Levi was pretty much non-existent) when Armin has to kill someone to protect Jean, he basically tells them that he doesn't know if what he's doing is right or wrong, he's just doing what he has to.

Those two moments made me truly appreciate Levi as more of a human than an anime character. He has flaws, he acknowledges them, but he continues down the same path because he has no other choice, given the world he lives in.

I'm quite attached to this character because of the ups and downs, and because he was the first anime character I liked he set a path for other characters in different animes, live-action shows and even movies, because I learnt to wait before deciding whether or not I love or hate a character.

Of course, it helped that I began to study psychology during the time when I was watching Attack on Titan, so I appreciated the affects Levi's life and his choices had on his psyche. Not to mention EruRi- but I'll ramble about that later.

That's all for this entry, I could go on much longer but it loosely goes over my thought processes and that will have to be enough because I'm supposed to be studying-

Who wants to bet my dumb ass forgot something I was supposed to mention?
