Attack on Titan video update...

Hello everyone, and first and foremost I would like to apologize for the lack of updates on my YouTube channel. A lot of things have happened that has caused my updates to come to a halt. Truthfully, most of it being writers block, others being work, my partners pregnancy, and the changes made at the end of Attack on Titan that made me have to change somethings in my script. But regardless, I wanted to share a piece I've written today to show you all that progress is being made, and a video will be uploaded eventually. I would love to hear any opinions about it good or bad Thank you so much ^^

Grisha Yeager - The beginning of the story

The story begins with Grisha Jeagar and his sister Faye, at the tenderness of their childhood idealistically and naively sought one of the many wonders of this world, a wonder in which many deems trivial.

These children knew nothing about the world, about the hatred the world has for their people, and yet, their childish endeavors pushed them forward to seek what it was that they fervently wished to see with their very eyes, something they knew they would never be able to see normally.

Play: “Faye: But it must be nice, I wonder what we can see from up there”

“Grisha: That naive day of my youth when I had to face the truth of this world”

Grisha had to face the truth, the cruelty of this world, a world that would not allow innocent children to roam freely without severe consequences, a world that would not spare a little girl for the naivete of their youth.

The history of King Fritzs' conquest has left a scar on the world, and a deep hatred for his people.

As a result, when Eldia fell to Marley, Eldians were forced to live in internment zones, stripped of their dignities, pride, and liberties.

The people subjugated to accept not being shipped off to paradise and killed as living humbly, considering it a grace to live under Marleys rule, even if it comes at the cost of inequality, prejudice, and persecution.

Play: “Grisha: My father was awfully talkative for someone who just lost their daughter”

Despite losing their daughter without reason or answer, Grishas father instead dogmatically attempted to institutionalize his son of the propaganda that Marley set for Eldians barbaric history.

That his race were nothing more than devils who once tyrannically ruled all, killed all, and oppressed all.

Whether this history can be seen as factual isn’t the point, for all that was on Grishas mind was the loss of his sister and the hands of her killer.

Grisha attempted to bring the situation to light, but was instead immediately shut down by his father continuing his preaching of the many lives and cultures slain by Eldians hands, but even so…

Play” Grisha: Faye and I didn’t do any of that, we were just walking around!”

Was it fate that was cruel or just some twisted sense of luck?

Had Grisha been born under normal circumstances his disposition would’ve been completely correct, however he was cursed with the history of his ancestors, caught within a web of corruption without choice.

Who was truly right here? Grishas father for obeying his oppressors in favor of his families safety, or Grisha for seeking justice?

The reality of it is that both of them were victims of this cruel world.

Play “ Do you have regrets about your family” Episode 63 15:00

Years pass and Grisha eventually learns the inhumane truth of his sisters fate.

Fueled with rage not just at the death of his sister, but for the injustices committed towards his people, Grisha dedicates his heart to rebelling against his oppressors, forming an alliance in seek of freedom.

But Grisha becomes blinded by his hatred, passing on a biased truth of their history onto their son, committing the same mistakes his father did all those years ago.

Creating another layer in the chain of corruption.

But that corruption runs even deeper than Grisha imagined.

For when he was face to face with his sisters killer, he was met with the corruption of the world first hand.

Instead of even a glimmer of remorse or disdain of his actions, Gross instead rationalized his actions under the pretense that “it was interesting”

Going even further to rationalize his insanity and lack of empathy by stating that humans in general simply want to see violence.

And despite how purely insane this mindset is, there is some truth to this.

When one is surrounded around peace and prosperity, one cannot help but fathom the question of the unknown, to peer into its foreign conception.

But this does not mean that all who live in peace wish to see death or wish to cause harm to others, as there are other elements at play here that causes Gross to have the disposition he does.

In a general sense, it is clear that Gross lacks empathy for his fellow man, but the brutal reality here is that Gross does not see Eldians as people.

Cultivated within the corruption of Marleys propaganda and Eldias bloody history, it becomes clear how he is able to commit such atrocities without remorse.

Deeming that all of humanity wishes for the extermination of all Eldians, how can one have empathy for another human when you don’t see them as human.

With a justifiable outlet for the monstrous desire deep within, no wonder he feels no remorse for the lives he takes, no wonder he cares so little for the apparent truth of Eldias grand history.

But on the opposite side of the same coin, it is no wonder that Gross would eventually pay a debt he never wished to incur

As the seeds of rebellion seeking justice and freedom bloomed long before he was ever born.

Were Eldias' perception of their history truth or was it Marleys?

Does it even truly matter?

Play “Kruger: There is no truth,  anyone can become a god or a devil, all it takes is for someone to believe in it”

For liberty, for justice and freedom Grisha was chosen and began the entire story.

Not just for his hatred towards the injustices committed against him, but for the innate wonder that young boy had that fateful day, the innate curiosity and seeker of something beyond the world's corrupt nature.

To be free to see the beauty of this world, to exercise his birthright as a child unknowing of the sins his ancestors before him committed. 

For that same innocent wonder to be passed onto generations forever more, Grisha must...

excerpt from 'Monologue Drama: Levi's Side'

"In order to fight this shit world, in order to grasp with these hands the freedom that I found when I first went outside the Walls, I... I have chosen for myself.

"Even if it leads me to hell, I have no regrets. Not even a little."

Me trying to persuade my sister to watch JoJos (I'll update the post as our conversation continues)

My sister: "Why is that show so gay lol? Like every gif I see of it - gay" Me:

My sister: "Is it meant to be gay or funny?" Me: "Funny mostly, but people now a days just see it as flamboyant and gay

which the fanbase is okay with lol

I mean....its funny right?

But the pose is just a "JoJo pose" A silly, over the top pose that as far as the story is concerned is a signature, serious, or energetic pose a character does But for the creator of JoJo and the reader, it is supposed to be taken as both serious and funny with the idea that "Ah its a new JoJo pose"

"The story of JoJo while both comedic and serious in tone is more than just its narrative Its a straight up culture, the energy of JoJos is so over the top and expressive that it can't help but inspire and influence others to copy it in some manner or form. Its an anime/Manga from the 80s in its rawest and most powerful form Araki knows its silly, but he wears that shit with pride and he does it proudly and everyone loves him for it. JoJo has created a cult back in the 90s, quite literally and its only gotten stronger since the remake during 2012 What makes JoJos so great is that its more than just an anime/manga, its more than its medium, its just a fun, entertaining, and emotional ride that when you realize all that JoJos has to offer you'll actually begin to understand why the fandom is the way it is Why the so fervently want as many people to watch it as possible, why its heavy in meme culture, and why people copy it and how JoJos despite being released in the 80s continues to be dominant as a masterpiece till this very day"

My sister: What was it meant to be at that time then?

WHY IS IT SO OVER THE TOP LOL?!

Me: "I think at the time, it was meant to be signature esque and cool, maybe to get people to buy its figures or for the kids to pose Like... Think about how popular Power Rangers (Or shows like it) was and still is over in Japan Kids copy it all the time, the poses, the saying and mannerism JoJos is the same thing but for adults, because why should adults lose that magic too right? Mature story telling doesn't have to be a serious narrative all the time What makes JoJos so good is that JoJos embodies both of these things and makes it work"

My sister: "Then what would you describe it as?" Me: "You know how you would think of Akira, or Dragon Ball Z, or Avatar and you would see it as something more than its medium? Akira for its crazy animation quality for its time that stands as one of the best animated movies ever made

Dragon Ball Z for its cultural impact on the world to this very day as the most recognized anime in existance

And Avatar for being a childrens show that showed for the first time that american animators could od what anime could have and tackle mature themes even for a kids show?

JoJos is something of that nature that is hard to explain, the story is great but its not deep or complex, there is no hidden philosophy or thematic exploration of any ideals or anything (At least not all around)

But because of how much of a culture shock JoJos has shown and the style of the show that LITERALLY IS ITS OWN STYLE that no one else can replicate, JoJos succeeds in becoming an iconic legend in its own right by being SPECIAL

Its just a special kind of anime, you can't rank it as a normal anime, there is something deep within the machinations of what makes JoJos "JoJos" that makes it so incredible

Its different from say watching Monster, and trying to unravel the mysteries and feeling like you figured out something deep and meaningful

With JoJos its the same minus the complex moral question, its more of understanding, what is it that makes the show so good?

Its a lot more interesting to figure that out and in turn I think you would appreciate it a lot more if you viewed it under that lens instead of comparing it to animes you like. Because if you do, you will never understand or come to appreciate JoJos.

JoJos is truly its own special kind of show separate from all other animes. There is nothing like JoJos, and I don't think any show can replicate what JoJos succeeded in doing"

Quest to regain my Elite weab title #6

If you are an anime fan dating back to the early 2000's, then this anime is a MUST WATCH for you! I don't wanna seem as if I'm jumping the gun here, but after only episode one I gotta say Unluck Undead was whimsical, outgoing, and straight up weird The story needing very little time to set up, all of it just comes straight to your face A girl with unnatural powers who brings misfortune to all who touches her skin paired with a man who simply cannot die is just comedy gold haha There really isnt much I can say about it, but it has such early 2000's anime vibe to it, light pervertedness, slap stick comedy, seemingly out of place shonen elements, I'm sure this anime is going to be a wild ride
