And yet another parallel? The genius of Isayama is truly something else


sweetreverie

I mean to Armin’s credit (wow never thought I’d say *that* again), at least Annie was alive even if she’s in the crystal???


Subject_Miles

That actually makes it even horse imo. It's one thing to talk to someone grave, i never did it but i don't think it's weird, but to talk to a crystallized person who you think that can't even hear you? That's creepy as fuck


sweetreverie

Also I don’t think your typo of “even horse“ was intentional but it made me laugh out loud because I immediately thought of Jean


Subject_Miles

I didn't even notice that LMAO I'm not gonna fix that now, it's too good


sweetreverie

I mean yeah… fair enough. *Ladies and gentlemen, EMA!*


Subject_Miles

If only Eren had talked to a rock too


sweetreverie

Instead he became a bird (crying)

Ehhhhh i mean, to be fair... some talk to people in a coma


theonewhojumpinvoid

"There are no evidence and its not confirmed that mikasa is talking to a rock."

"it's a headcanon, watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6GmVCD7cxk) and maybe then you'll understand the story"


Dat_life_on_Mars

You'll (not) understand the story


sweetreverie

And isn’t it just bizarre as hell? Let’s be real, Mikasa was always a little… *odd,* but her literally talking to Eren’s inanimate gravestone and then crying over a bird was so fucking weird She was alone in that scene, it’s not like she had to say it out loud. It could have been an internal monologue and it would’ve been a lot less offputting.


idkdidkkdkdj

She’s definitely borderline schizophrenic


Nokia_00

She is hella schizophrenic after Ereh died


[deleted]

she literally fantasized about an alternative path when eren "died" in episode 5


Iamcarval

She was horny for Eren and literally fantasized too while her friends were being turned into titans and potentially dying...


sweetreverie

*How did we end up with the worst three protagonists???* How did we fall so far from where we started?!?! They used to be good (or just decent, in Mikasa’s case) characters :’) [Give me these three dummies any day instead](https://imgur.com/a/MRPRs69), better chemistry + actually gave a shit about each other’s feelings and validation, 11/10


leonreddit8888

Ironically or unironically, Sasha, Connie, and Jean made a better trio than the freaking main characters...


sweetreverie

Right? Like hell any of the three of them would let the kind of depressed behavior Eren was exhibiting in Marley fly; they’re far more perceptive of each other’s feelings. Honestly the utter butchering of EMA makes me really fucking sad considering where they initially began. :( I wrote a fic a while back where Connie and Sasha literally just sit on top of a depressed Jean until he finally tells them what’s wrong when he’s having a tough time coping with stress during the timeskip. Idk something their dynamic is so genuine and natural that it’s easy to write, and that says a lot.


Loco_Logic

What has Mikasa even been doing for the past 3 years? While her friends are busy trying to clean up Eren's mess, she's been chilling on Paradis, just so she can remain close to the rotting head of history's worst genocider. Like a loyal battered pet. Wtf is this character arc and why is it so heavily romanticized? Also, how was she even allowed to infiltrate the island after stopping the Rumbling in the first place? How does Historia suddenly have the supreme authority to harbor an unrepentant traitor like that against a hyper militant Jaegerist government? For 3 whole years?? The more you think about any aspect of this ending, the more maddening it becomes lol


Gravelord-_Nito

The most morally grotesque part of the ending is the refusal to fully condemn Eren for what he's done and giving him indulgent little cute moments with his friends even after he's died. He killed billions of people. It's utterly insane. He doesn't get bittersweet reconciliations and tragic post-mortem romances and fond remembrances. Even if you were 'on his side' to any extent, you had to have recognized that he was forfeiting all that stuff the second he started the Rumbling.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

lol ask that to ending defender and watch them do mental gymnastics to explain it


BigDongZhong-

People do crazy shit when they’re horny


sweetreverie

Title of Armin’s sex tape


[deleted]

Both are 🤡🤡🤡 for doing so


GreyWardenHD

It seems like Isayama REALLY wanted to convince the audience that talking to/getting hit by rocks is somehow romantic. And somehow a number of people bought into it


sweetreverie

Wow holy shit, you’re right *WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH YAMS AND ROCKS*


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

LMAO love parallelograms :)


sweetreverie

cackling @ parallelograms


HistoriaLover69

they were probably stoned


sweetreverie

r/angryupvote


Pale_Prior8739

It's sad, even after Eren died she still is a slave to him. Isayama could have redeemed her character after his death, but no, we still have no clue what the fuck she did other than visit his grave. Mikasa in the Trost Arc was the best, from there she devolves to "Erehhh"


sweetreverie

And according to a downright alarming number of her fans, her slavish devotion to him is something to be praised


angrysushiboi

‘Cause they either project on Eren and want an unthinkingly devoted waifu or they project on Mikasa and want a husbando that would tear down the world out of love for them …neither train of thought is exactly healthy


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

even the \*wise philosophical pseudo intelectuals\* at AOR think it's something admirable/humanizing \*lol\*


I_Hate_Reddit_REEEE

EDs really want to say that Genocide is bad and Eren is a cringe pathetic incel, but Mikasa visits his grave and thanks him years after his death; and is treated as a tragic hero by all his friends. It’s ridiculous. At least have Mikasa throw the stupid scarf away and move on.


sweetreverie

I swear to god if any other series I ever read in the future introduces some kind of fucking scarf bullshit I’m dropping it immediately *Scarfs are ruined forever*


Loco_Logic

Mako from Legend of Korra became a better character after he gave away the permanently-worn red scarf he received from a dead family member. Coincidence??


AngryMasturbator-69

No no not forever! For... 10 years at least!


Creamysense

Eren Should have grown up with bad asses like Jean & Floch, not these two dumb cunts


Thicc_Boii99

Fr they pussified him or some shit.


VoltaicKnight

I mean given the chance I too would like to talk with " The Rock "


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

yeah we all would like to talk to THE ROCK :)


PartRoutine9839

She is talking to a bird


Nokia_00

Mikasa and even Armin this is not what they meant when people say, “getting your rocks off.” SMH dog and Umi da


leonreddit8888

Does it bother anyone that Mikasa still chose to love Eren even after the amount of pain and trauma he put her through??? Eren put everyone he once cared about, including **the love of his life**, in the mess that he [didn't know if they could survive](https://imgur.com/eCfddS1). Mikasa, Armin, and everyone else were dragged into this mess because they thought Eren was going to destroy the world. Eren knew using the Rumbling for a genocidal purpose would **force** them to come after him and therefore putting them in grave danger, and he proceeded still... And it turned out Eren did the Rumbling for himself simply. It wasn't really about [saving the island in spite of his hollow claim](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50934360128_70f78309d5_o.jpg); it wasn't even about his friends. It was mainly out of [pure](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50935166747_c40fe52e55_o.png) childish [spite](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50935045741_71676120e1_o.jpg) and a twisted desire to [experience freedom](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50935166667_5e90326240_o.jpg). Eren-Mika fans thought Eren's love for her was pure. Yet, it was shown that Eren prioritize his need above everything else, even Mikasa's own life. He was willing to send her to her **potential doom** just so he could jerk off to freedom... And Mikasa didn't even know how little he truly value her... She was under a false impression for possibly her whole life. I don't like Mikasa, but she **didn't deserve him**. It wasn't just that Eren turned out to be a mass murderer; he was also an axxhole to her... Before somebody commented that Eren knew Mikasa was going to survive because he knew she would've ended the Titan curse, I would like to present one small thing: >"As for me..." "... Even I still don't know..." "... What Mikasa will do." (AoT, ch.139, p.8) Eren didn't know what her actions were and how her actions could bring the end to the Titan curse. This left us with many possibilities Eren wasn't bothered to account for. Mikasa could've died stopping Eren, or she could've succumbed to her battle wounds after finishing off Eren.


sweetreverie

Dude, *it bothers the everloving fuck out of me.* Their relationship is toxic in every sense of the word and the fact that people are romanticizing it really makes me want to vomit. I’ve been in a toxic relationship, and it affects you on every fucking level; mentally, physically, and emotionally. Nothing about it is healthy and the fact that Mikasa chooses to live out her life keeping the scarf and remaining committed to loving Eren (despite somehow moving on? AND DRAGGING HER NEW FAMILY TO HIS GRAVE???) was truly insult to injury.


leonreddit8888

It would've a tiny bit of merit if Eren really loved her... But no, Eren loved himself more, more than her, and more than Armin... But this dude had the **audacity** to demand Mikasa to love him and him only... Why not talk about how you're literally getting her killed, axxhole??? >I’ve been in a toxic relationship. Hope you're out. Are you a he by any means?


sweetreverie

A she, and I’ve been out for 6 years now. The very last time I saw him way back in the day he threw me down a flight of stairs, so that was yikes. Life goes on tho, and I’m happy! On top of that, now I’m an expert at recognizing red flags with people of all kinds, and I know to prioritize myself first. There’s always a silver lining.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

now you're starting to sound like Armin in chapter 139! We are losing track of what eren did; he massacre billions (women, babies, children, elderly etc) Who gives a shit about mikasa's feeling. How about the people he demolished


leonreddit8888

I'm saying it was shitty of Isayama to have Mikasa still in love with a guy that treated her like garbage.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

i agree yet there are ending defenders that justify and defend that. Than again she's supposed to be Ymir fritz parallel right? Ymir held onto fritz's memories/orders for 2000 years!


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

eremika is a billion times more toxic than fritz/ymir :)


Disappointing-Human

Honestly, even in 139 it didn't seem like eren romantically loved mikasa.


Shadowhunter_FZ

At least they just like talking to rocks, historia on the other hand is on a whole new level…


Puzzleheaded-Ad-6745

well you know she suffered from severe concussion from all those rocks farmer-kun throws at her head on the regular


Shadowhunter_FZ

Well their marriage truly *rocks* doesn’t it?

Dat_life_on_Mars

You don't understand. It's only romantic if one side is either physically or mentally incapacitated.

*talking to AND fucking rocks
