Reiner: 😏😏😏 when this is all over... I'm marrying ✨️ Historia ✨️ for sure.. she's the most beautiful girl I've ever met ... the kindest ... sometimes it feels like she's a goddess .. my one ray of hope in th—
Me: I hope annies okay she hasnt talked to us in weeks
Reiner:
“why can’t two men just be friends” is a funny thing to say about reibert because that’s exactly what reiner would say after passionately making out with bertholdt
Reiner's answer for AOT ask

Q: How do you feel about Bertholdt's death? Did you have any personal feelings for him, or were you with him just because of the mission? Did it affect YOUR feelings?

@KEKariX Weeping and wailing at the ceiling. 😭😭
So beautifully drawn. I love little Bertl’s expression and the way he’s sort of melting into smoke. And Reiner is so handsome and heartbroken, especially in those panels on the last page. May they find each other again in the Paths. 🌌
@beruue@spearbwrld Like, we never see him blow up at Reiner about it. He’s understanding and careful when he tries to move Reiner back towards himself even though it must be so incredibly stressful. Bertolt knows how it is.
@beruue@spearbwrld his patience and dedication to Reiner despite those jarring personality shifts… maybe that’s partially rooted in his recognition of it as an extreme form of his own experience as a chameleon by necessity.
@Buttercupbonk Yess and i think it’s also cause he wants to go home so bad. Like almost everyone wants to get outside the walls for their different reasons, but Bertolt is soooo homesick.
There’s an echo here that hurts.
Reiner processing being told he’s insufficient, and his bleak and total acceptance of the accusation as fact.
Just like Bertolt, up on the wall.
Bertolt in Reiner’s memory as Porco says, of all possible words, “strong” and “reliable”.

@AruBerus@revoirvienne idk i never want to sound like a snob about dubs, and I have so much respect for voice actors, but it’s just very hard to match how beautiful and perfect i find the JP voices in aot. Ymir Freckles’ voice too.
@AruBerus@revoirvienne yes yes yes yes i agree so much 🤝🫂Bertholdt’s JP voice has a vulnerability to it, like a vibration at the edges where u can feel his uncertainty, youth, and emotion, and it makes the contrast when he loses it over reiner / annie or hardens himself in RTS so powerful.
@AruBerus@revoirvienne I can only hear his JP voice, and I absolutely write hearing that voice, and this bothers me toooooo. In the sub he has a fluting somewhat childlike voice that reflects his wonder and stuff, and it’s perfect.😭
More for the void:
- Annie sings like she’s tone-deaf. It’s rlly cute.
- Jean loved all the pomades and lotions and manicure sets that came in fancy tins and bottles from the outside world. It actually crossed his mind in the rumbling that he wouldn’t be able to get them anymore.
- Bertholdt is hypermobile, which is helpful since they’re always pretzel-ing him into boxes and barrels. His fingers bend backwards.
- Reiner likes to doodle when he’s bored and is low-key good at it. He puts no particular value on his drawings. They tend to get crumpled/tossed.
