— real-life faceclaims

There are two real-life faceclaims I'm using for Levi Ackerman, having not decided between the two for a few reasons I'm going to explain. Both faceclaims are popular (?) faceclaims for Levi in the snk fandom, and I don't claim to have discovered these two actors myself, having been inspired by some great fanart / edits, except I accidentally had seen a movie with Edward Furlong and immediately thought he's a perfect match before deciding on using him as fc.

edward furlong

Edward Furlong in the 90s is the PERFECT faceclaim for Levi Ackerman. He has the perfect haircut, his face resembles him in many ways, and what's most important is the aura he carries. The attitude you can say, which fits Levi in all ways. His facial expressions, his posture, everything about him screams ‘ Levi ’. What doesn't make him perfect is the fact he's too young. Levi's in his early thirties in his main timeline, and Edward Furlong in the age he resembles him the most, looks as if he's in his early twenties at most, and that's an age gap I can't ignore despite Levi looking younger for his age. ( Meaning he is perfect but I can't use him (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) )

dane deehan

Dane Deehan is a good match as well. He may not resemble him as much as I wish when it comes to some of his facial characteristics but I love him for many reasons. First of all, the man is a chameleon. In my attempt to choose a movie and make icons for him, I realized he's portraying one diverse character after another which I admire even if it makes it more difficult to icon him. His hair is blonde in many movies, and his haircut isn't much close to the one I'm searching for, but I love him, first of all, for his SICKLY appearance. He's really pretty despite not looking healthy, and having dark circles under his eyes, which is one of the most important features I'm searching for Levi. Also, the color of his eyes is real close to the ice blue / gray Levi has, and I also like his full lips. He's around the same age as Levi and looks younger, which is great, but like I said, he's difficult to use, for playing many different roles ( classy / messy, serious / silly, etc. ) and not giving off a certain vibe I am searching for.

In conclusion, both faceclaims are perfect for different reasons. I'm using Edward Furlong for writing Levi for when he's in his teenage years until his mid-twenties ( mostly following his criminal past ) and Dane Deehan for his main timeline.
