Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
✨WARNING MAJOR AOT SPOILERS✨
Okay first I wanna address a couple things before I jump right in. This is all my PERSONAL thoughts on how it COULD end, but I’ll be happy with however Isayama ends it. These are just some ideas I’ve had so most of it will be fragments. Also please no hate.
Let’s jump on in
Okay so what I’ve been thinking is what if somehow the group ends up back in the place where Ymir is.
Eren or even Ymir brings them there i don’t know I don’t care just they are there
And like while Mikasa, Armin, Jean and the other adults are arguing with Eren trying to convince him to stop
I want one of the kids, Gabi or Falco. Hell it can be both.
Personally I’d like it to be Gabi.
( and before anyone starts shit about Gabi killing Sasha. Gabi is a twelve year old brainwashed child that saw people she cared about get killed. So she did what most people would do. Got revenge. Y’all really be hating on a child while Eren is committing literal GENOCIDE. )
Anyway back to what I was saying
I want Gabi to talk with Ymir.
Somehow she learns about what really happened with Ymir.
And I want her to talk with Ymir telling her she understands Ymir’s hatred and sadness
Gabi tells her how she felt a similar hate. How for years she hated and cursed her ancestors and the people inside the walls
How she became a warrior so she could inherit the Armored and free her people from their “history”
And how she’s killed some of her own kind because she’s been brainwashed by Marley into thinking she’s of devil blood.
She talks about when she killed Sasha and the pride she felt at the time
And tells her what she learned when she was inside the walls.
About how she felt when Sashas father and Mikasa saved her from being killed. How she learned that the people inside the walls weren’t actually devils and that everything she had been taught was a lie
And the guilt she felt after she learned all this
This is where it gets really iffy
Ymir could have sterilized every Eldian alive right??
So theoretically what’s to stop her from I don’t know....
Taking away the power of the Titans?
So Gabi tells her that she won’t demand or order Ymir to do anything. Gabi says she is not her master and that Ymir is no longer a slave
But that she has a request. That Ymir can choose whether or not she wants to accept this request.
She asks Ymir if she could please stop the rumbling. To please rid the world of the Power of the Titans. To make it so no Eldian, Marleyan, or any other race or creature can ever transform into a Titan again.
And then Ymir smiles at her and nods.
After she’s done it Gabi hugs her and thanks her
And when she pulls back Gabi looks Ymir in the face and says
“Now I think it’s time you finally rest”
And that’s kinda where my train of thought ends
So in conclusion I love Gabi Braun and I don’t think she deserves any of the hate she gets.
Please feel free to leave your own thoughts. Just make sure that you respect other’s opinions even if they don’t align with your own.
yeah
she doesn’t give a shit about Falco just at all
SNK S4 EP13: CHILDREN OF THE FOREST
wine x blood
Or, why I am pretty optimistic about the fates of Jean, Connie, Gabi, and all titanized people this chapter, which is also an excuse for me to talk about SnK’s allusions to Russian literature.
There are strikingly parallel ideas The Brothers Karamazov and Attack on Titan, as well as parallel plot points and imagery to the point where if it isn’t deliberate, it’s uncanny. (NB: before people yell at me about comparing a Japanese and Russian work, Isayama has used Russian names since the start of SnK–Shiganshina is a Russian name.) In particular, there are narrative allusions to a portion of the novel known as “The Grand Inquisitor,” which is a short story within a novel. The central thesis of “The Grand Inquisitor” is as follows:
nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human society than freedom.
This parable is told within the story by Ivan Karamazov, a character whose intellectuality is his gift and his curse. He tells his brother Alyosha that the motivation for creating this parable is precisely the evils done to children (oh look, a major SnK theme) and specifically cites an example which was unfortunately taken from real life in Russia and which Isayama has an uncanny parallel:
I want to see with my own eyes the hind lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. I want to be there when every one suddenly understands what it has all been for. All the religions of the world are built on this longing, and I am a believer. But then there are the children, and what am I to do about them? That’s a question I can’t answer… If all must suffer to pay for the eternal harmony, what have children to do with it, tell me, please? … if it is really true that they must share responsibility for all their fathers’ crimes, such a truth is not of this world and is beyond my comprehension. Some jester will say, perhaps, that the child would have grown up and have sinned, but you see he didn’t grow up, he was torn to pieces by the dogs, at eight years old…
Keep reading
the latest episode made me so excited... especially the conversation between gabi and kaya in the end. it was awesome. and i can’t help but think again about how deeply gabi actually hates herself. the saddest thing is that she doesn’t even understand it. may i just cry about this lost, misguided child?..
when kaya asks gabi why her mom must be eaten alive, all that gabi has in answer is racist marleyan bullshit. and when kaya calls her out on that bullshit, there’s nothing left but shock and panic.
because there’s no reason why kaya’s mom has to die. and why gabi and other eldians have to suffer, carrying the burden of their ancestors, too.
it’s that simple.
but as kaya struggles to understand why people of paradis have to be eaten by titans, gabi and marleyan eldians struggle to understand why they have to live in an awful ghetto, bear countless acts of violence, and be turned into these goddamn titans. sadly and ironically, marleyan propaganda is the only thing that helps gabi not to sink in the despair her life is. it gives her simple reasoning of why she has to live like that and be hated, as well as the faith in a better future.
if only she will be the good eldian, of course.
SNK S4, EP 11 : FAVORITE SCENE
“There are humans outside the walls and they call us the race of devils, right? But I couldn’t understand why the world despises us like that.
Mia. Ben. Tell me.”
Gabi waking up Falco as newly weds:
Gabi to Eren after he killed Zofia and Udo
Basically the whole fandom rn
Falco and Gabi:
Reiner:
Eren transforming and stomping on niggas in liberio:
This was soooo fucking funny I’m sorry 💀
Tired: if Eren was born in Marley he would be the same as Gabi
Wired: if Eren was born in Marley he would be the same as Grisha
Inspired: if Gabi was born on Paradise she wouldn't be the same as Eren, she would start as loyal to king policewoman or garrison soldier, more similar to Marco
Yoooo the girls are kisning REAL! HAPPY PRIDE!!! (requests are from r/okbuddyreiner lol)
Imma be totally honest, I never understood why people liked Floch Forster. Like, there are a small handful of moments where I will root/cheer for Floch, but that's about it. The only consistent thing I like about him is his English dub VA, b/c he also voices Reki from Sk8 the Infinity.
"Oh, well he's a well-written character."
. . . how?
"Like, his character development is pretty good."
Oh yeah, right. He goes from an overconfident and then annoying jackass rookie in season 3 to an extreme nationalist jackass who imprisons or kills anyone who disagrees with him or does something he doesn't like in season 4. . . great character development.
Like, fr, as much as I dislike Gabi, I actually cheer every time I rewatch s4, and she shoots his ass and he falls into the water. . . which he ends up surviving, only for Mikasa to shoot her ODM gear into his neck. . . which I also cheer whenever I watch.
Screw Floch. Normally, I'd give hot male characters a break due to pretty privilege, but Floch isn't hot enough to catch a break from me.
Rewatching AoT and just finished S4 Ep 8: Assassin's Bullet. Gabi Braun can go straight to hell. Like, directly to hell.
I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but so far, Gabi Braun is my least favorite character in Attack on Titan.
Gabi and Falco!!
I grew very fond of these two, especially Falco, during my rewatch of season four. I was only three episodes away from finishing the show, but life happened and I couldn’t. But now, almost two years later, my family and I have finally finished the show. It’s one of the best anime’s I’ve ever seen. So, y’all know what this means. New hyperfixation!!!

✧ thinking about sasha’s sister who’s like three years younger than her. they were as close as you can get.
✧ i think it goes without saying that she took sasha’s death the hardest.
✧ i’m talking full blown breakdown. cried so hard she passed out only to wake up crying again.
✧ she’d calmed down enough to be somewhat social when kaya came inside one morning followed by a pair of siblings. mia and ben.
✧ however, all of that went out the window when niccolo told her family that mia was the kid responsible for the death of her big sister.
✧ she blacked out.
✧ not for long, though. when she came to, there was too much happening. someone screaming bloody murder, someone pulling on her hair, someone’s arms wrapped around her.
✧ she realized it was her not only screaming (think azula at the end of atla book three), but also pulling at her hair. her mom was holding her, trying to stop her from hurting herself.
✧ i’d like to say it was at this point that she cracked up.
✧ while her family was being held at gun point by yeagerists, she sat holding her knees, rocking back and forth and mumbling to herself.
“she’ll die. she has to, she killed my sister. i’ll kill her. i’m gonna kill her.”
✧ even after the girl saved her little sister, there was nothing she wanted more than to end her life.
✧ while her family was being escorted by scouts through the fire, she quietly stood behind the girl she hated more than anything and whispered in her ear.
“i am going to kill you.”
✧ after the rumbling and the death of the yeager brothers, everyone felt a peace they’d never felt before.
✧ everyone except one braus girl.
✧ the year was 860. it was just after what would’ve been sasha’s 26th birthday. with a smile, she’d told her family she wanted to do a bit of traveling. they were so excited for her, it seemed she was finally gonna be herself again.
“take care of everyone while im gone, kaya, okay?”
“okay, sis. have fun! hurry back, though, we’ll miss you.”
✧ no one noticed the missing handgun.
✧ stepping onto the boat felt like a breath of fresh air, the trip to liberio relaxing.
✧ she spent twelve days looking for gabi. she spent another fifteen following her around liberio, watching her every move. on the twenty eighth day, she cornered the girl in an alleyway.
gabi slowed to a stop as she felt the presence behind her. she would usually come here to try out different narcotics with falco because levi hated the smell of it indoors.
“i was wondering if it was levi you were following, or me,” she spoke before turning around. behind her stood an individual wearing a cloak. there was a small smirk on her face, but she was very clearly irritated by her stalker.
“gabi,” was the only word that came out of the young woman’s mouth. there were so many emotions rushing through her. so much anger, so much sadness.
so much joy.
the irritable smirk on gabi’s face fell slowly but surely at the somewhat familiar voice. she couldn’t pinpoint it, but something about it caused a chill to run down her spine, causing her to feel something she hadn’t in over five years.
“do i.. know you? why are you following me, what do you want?” the initial fear she felt was replaced by something more fiery by the second.
“you killed my sister, gabi,” she stepped into the moonlight. gabi could finally see it all. the dark green cloak. the hood over the woman’s head. the expressionless face and the bloodshot eyes staring at her.
before giving gabi a chance to speak, she spoke again, “do you remember what i said to you, gabi? after you shot that titan?”
and it was in that moment that gabi truly understood the severity of her situation. she tried to mask it, but the fear she felt earlier came back tenfold.
“i’m so sorry about your sister, i swear i am. i wish i could take it back-”
“what did i say to you, gabi?”
gabi stilled. she figured she could probably take her in hand to hand and the woman didn’t look armed. if she was armed with something though, that might be a different story.
“hold on, wait. i.. i’ll do whatever you want. this doesn’t have to get violent! we can figure something..”
she trailed off as the gun was pulled out of the cloak.
“can you bring my sister back, gabi? if not, there’s really nothing else to be said.”
“wait! you’ll get arrested!”
“there are six bullets. i only need to save one after i’m done with you.”
“h- hold on! what about kaya! your family!”
“my family will be just fine. please stop talking.”
“please, don’t do this! think about sasha! she wouldn’t-” gabi screamed as a shot rang out.
“wiil you shut up. you really have the gall to use sasha to talk me out of this? i’m doing this for sasha,” she spoke with unadulterated rage before sighing.
“great. now i only have four to spend.”
“please don’t do this to me, i don’t wanna die! im sorry!” gabi cried.
the woman before her cocked her head to the side.
“i don’t recall asking what you wanted, gabi. do you think sasha wanted to die?” her voice was dripping with confusion, almost as if she couldn’t comprehend why gabi would try pleading with her.
as her final tactic, gabi shouted through tears, “falco’s on his way here! you’ll get caught-”
“good. that means you won’t have to rot for long.”
with that, two consecutive shots rang. as her legs gave out, gabi screamed in pain from the newly placed holes in her knees.
the woman walked up to her, pulling her hair back and forcing the gun into her mouth.
she contemplated making the girl beg for her life, but before she could she heard hurried footsteps coming their way.
“gabi, i heard gunshots! and screams! are you ok-” as falco rounded the corner, he came to an abrupt stop seeing the love of his life on the ground, bleeding from both legs, a gun shoved in her mouth, and tears and snot running down her face. he made eye contact with the woman standing above her and recognized her as the oldest girl from the braus home.
“stop! don’t hurt her please i’m begging you!”
“you’re here faster than i anticipated. it doesn’t matter though. changes nothing,” her voice was eerily calm as she pulled the trigger a fourth time.
blood splattered on the wall behind gabi as the light in her eyes went out.
falco’s anguished cries were all that was heard as he finally ran to gabi.
“gabi! please don’t leave me! look at me, everything’s gonna be okay! just hold on!” he held her in his arms, doing everything in his power to wake her up.
“check for a pulse,” a soft voice spoke from behind him, because of the adrenaline rush he felt, he didn’t question it.
he reached for her wrist first. then her neck. after placing his fingers under her nose, he felt his heart crack.
“she’s not breathing,” he spoke so softly you could hardly hear him.
“she’s dead?” the feminine voice from before responded.
hearing the joy in her voice, falco snapped.
“you monster! you did this to her! she had her whole life ahead of her-”
“so did sasha,” a frown crossed her face as she responded to his shouts.
with tears in his eyes, falco said the same three words that started this journey for the girl.
“i’ll kill you.”
and that frown was replaced by a smile, one entirely too big given the circumstances.
“no need. i got it covered.”
she died with a smile.
✧ levi ended up being the one to inform the families of the murder-suicide. after consoling the grieving braun family, he took it upon himself to travel to paradis.
✧ his arrival with sasha’s old cloak, now splattered with blood, and a letter on top said more than enough.
✧ he informed them that her body had been on the boat with him and was going to be at the morgue until they could get her buried.
✧ she got a nice plot right beside her big sister.
