You know, I would love an OVA about Erwin's time as a normal solider before he became the commander. There is so much to his story and his character is amazing, I felt like again WIT left out a lot about him too. Like this panel right here, it made me understand Nile's and Erwin's relationship better. Marie must've been a babe tho haha.

I want to ask you a question that is considered stupid🌚Do you think that Erwin still loves Mary even when she is married to his friend nile? I see a lot of people saying that he still love her and I think that's really not true because Erwin is not that kind of person who love his best friend wife,and also in one of his official interviews he said that he wants to start a family if the Titans disappear and this is proof that he has moved on and his life is not dependent on Mary. I want to know your answer so that I can rest, because this woman i envy her so much 😭
Not a stupid question at all. This is one that comes up a LOT and I've answered it many times before.
Erwin only mentions Marie once in the manga, in chapter 53. In the English translation he tells Nile he was "quite taken" with Marie when he was a cadet. That always sounded a bit luke-warm to me, but @tsuki-no-ura has confirmed that in the original Japanese he does actually say that he was "in love" with Marie. However he also tells Nile that, as a Survey Corps soldier, he could not live the way he does, with a wife and family.
The thing that some people often overlook is that the whole point of this conversation is that Erwin is attempting to manipulate Nile in advance of the uprising by reminding him that although he chose the path that allowed him to marry Marie, he still cannot protect his family from the threat that faces them all.  Erwin is planting a little seed of doubt in Niles mind, and it bears fruit in chapter 61, when Erwin is in prison and he asks Nile again how Marie and the family are doing and where they now live.  Nile replies they they live in the eastern section of Wall Rose some distance from Stohess.  Later, when Anka makes her dramatic entrance to the throne room to report that the Titans have broken through the wall, it’s no surprise that the location of the alleged incursion is the eastern part of Wall Rose in Stohess District. It’s all part of Erwin’s plan to get Nile to support the uprising. 
There's no indication from the manga that Erwin remained in love with Marie, or that she reciprocated his feelings or even knew about his infatuation. However, there are two Smartpass stories that show that Erwin had no hard feelings against Nile for marrying Marie, and that he continued to hold them both in some affection. Erwin’s Letter tells how Erwin put his own feelings for Marie aside and helped Nile to write a love letter to her.  This story also tells us that Erwin never regretted his decision to join the Survey Corps.  In The Incident of the Scout’s Mysterious Advertisement Erwin and some of Nile's old comrades write letters congratulating Nile on the birth of his second child. However because they are leaving for an expedition, and do not have time to post the letters, Erwin leaves them in a store room and then places a coded advertisement in a newspaper that will lead Nile to the letters.
All this suggests to me that while Erwin may have loved Marie in his youthful cadet days, he no longer continued to hold a torch for her once he had made his decision to join the Survey Corps.
So there you have it. The good news is that there is no need to envy Marie. The bad news is that you definitely should envy Levi ;)

listen! MARco, MARcel, MARlowe, MARley: do they only point to war from the god mars (ares), as in martial? three boys dead in marley's war, and only marcel knew it. the seven visible planets have their metals in medieval alchemy: ♂ is iron, the stuff of weapons and armor, spear and shield, forged in fire into steel.
or, is it also the sea: marinus, where we get marine, maritime, and ultramarine, the precious pigment from ground lapis lazuli named not for its deep blue color, but for coming to europe from beyond the sea (the middle east). armin is even an acronym for the old french marin.
add nile dok's widow, MARie, ymir fritz's daughter and wall MARia: marley attacked maria, eren of maria attacked marley. maryam, mother of god. hildegard von bingen called her stella maris, sea star. or the scout squad leader who died in shiganshina, MARlene, whose name i chuckled at as if yams just googled famous germans, but i want to give him credit for this repetition. it's too beautiful and double edged.

Who does Marie like more? Erwin or Nile?
I have no idea.
We just know Erwin was "quite taken" with her during his Cadet years, and at the end of the day she married Nile in the material source.
But...
My final answer will always be Erwin. ^^
Again I reckon I'm projecting and I do play favorites but I mean...
I think she chose to settle with Nile for practicality (Nile/Marie truthers pls don't come at me). The psychological weight of the consequences upon graduation from the military must have crushed hard on my poor baby!! 🥲
Deep down tho, I'm sure her heart always leant more toward Blondie Cheekboned Commander Handsome who embodies the epitome of passion, the thrill of adventure and drama, the exhilarating possibility you know-
Thank you for the ask! <33
Pls send me more.

Mary's Choice by Cherry
Canonverse. One shot. Mary Dok. Unknown companion. Over tea, Mary has a revealing conversation with a new friend.
There's always discussion over whether Erwin chose to leave Mary and if Nile chose to marry her. Maybe she had a choice in the matter. You don't find out who her companion is (although you might be able to make a guess) but the conversation flows naturally. The fic ends with a simple and sweet lullaby.

❝ MARY JANE ! ❞
— kim dokja, yoo junghyuk, OD and secretive plotter x fem! reader.
notes; SOAPDDJSKDJDKE. request here
Kim dokja;
“Im sorry, Dok-ja! Really!” You followed behind him,laughing,as he stormed off. Anybody who didn’t know what you just did would have thought you really hurt the man. But you didn’t—you may have hurt his pride, but thats the most of it.
“What you just did wasn’t funny,” he whipped his head around. You got a view of the pinch marks on his face and the lipstick stain on his forehead.
“Im really sorry, i swear.” you caught up to him and wiped the stain off with your hand.But all that really did was smother it around.
You giggled as he turned around again.
Yoo junghyuk;
You sat on the gravel watching Junghyuk train. You were bored out of your mind, watching him swing his sword at a thick tree. He wasn’t even sweaty—but he was also shirtless, with his coat, shirt and upper garter belts folded neatly next to you( Courtesy of you not wanting his clothes to wrinkle) and a jug of water you and Junghyuk shared.You noticed that he was holding back his strength because he is obviously able to cut it in half in less than 1/4 of a second.
“Junghyuk-nim, im bored!”, you threw your head back and said. Your hands were getting all dirty from the ground, and your back was aching from supporting itself for so long.
“get up and come train with me.” He walked over to you and bent down near you to grab the water bottle. As he bent dow, you caught a glimpse of his damn-near perfect figure and features. You wondered if he had any fat on his cheeks— or his face, because it was so chiseled to perfection.
In less than a moment, your hands came to either side of his face, harshly gripping and pulling him around.he was severely off guard, and had to steady himself while in a squatting position.
“What the hell are you doing?” He glared down at you, but didnt stop you.
“Wow…you really do have face fat.”
OD;
You were sitting next to ■■ as you both ate. He was eating rather quickly— as if you and Plotter had never fed him, ever.
“Hey, look at me.” ■■ turned his head and looked up at you, big innocent eyes looking at your soft ones.
You grabbed a napkin off of the table and wiped his face from his mess. As you wiped, you noticed how his face turned red and he flailed his hands.
You smiled softly, then kissed his forehead.
“Your food wont go anywhere. If anything, you can get more, so make sure to chew, okay?”
Secretive Plotter;
You sat next to your husband watching the scenario—or rather, kim dokja—amusedly. He had taken the cloak off and had an arm wrapped around your waist as you both sat in your shared bed, with a few of the kkomas surrounding you.
This is perfect, and looking up and to your side, you also see that Your husband is, too.
You turned your body over to the side so you’d be fully facing him. He looked down to see what you were doing, and you suddenly pushed him over on his side and started peppering kisses all over him.
“What in the hell are you doing?!,” He grunted, as you kept kissing his face. If he really wanted you off of him, he would—no, could push you off. But here he was, wrapping his hand around your waist whilst pressing you down onto him. He would never, ever, get angry at you for your spasms of affection. He loved them, truly.

Erwin Smith Relationship Headcanons
Tumblr media
So, Mr. Smith
I'm feeling like you've known each other for some time
Like maybe you were friends during training or you worked in a shop trainees frequented.
Let's start with you both being scouts
Relationship as trainees
You don't stand out at first.
You're just another face in the masses
Nile finds you first
He introduces you to Erwin and at first Erwin isn't interested in any kind of relationship
He's nice but unresponsive
However, with some time he warms right up to you
There's something about you that is innately comforting.
So you become friends.
But never anything further
That's because of one person
Marie
He talked to you about her, asking you for advice
Your stomach churned everytime because you liked Erwin
You didn't have the heart to give him bad advice
Partly because you want to keep his trust
And partly because you want him to be happy
Happiness is hard to come by on this dismal reality
So you help him
But as years go by and Nile marries Marie, you can't help the small spark of joy you feel
Then you look at the masked heartbreak on Erwin's face and you regret the emotion.
You follow Erwin into the scouts regiment
You become his silent support, a wingman of sorts
This trust that he has never leaves
When you become scouts, you're always at his side
You're on the same squad
Next to each other in formations
When he becomes commander he relies heavily on you
It's a bit of a running joke that the scouts have two commanders
You're a good soldier and an excellent companion
He will need you always
Especially when he realizes his feelings for you
If you're not a scout
Erwin and his friends used to always come into the cafe restaurant with some pretty young ladies on their arms
They always had the same orders
They always ordered a cake to share at the end of each meal
You did not know any of their names as you worked in the back, baking most of the time
But you'd catch glimpses of a tall, blond, sparkly eyed young man who always came up to the counter to give compliments to the chefs and bakers.
He even winked at you once
Your first conversation happened when he came in to pick up a wedding cake
You were carefully piping on the last of the details when the bell above the door rang.
The young man approached and waited by the counter
Since your parents were busy, you went to ask him what he needed.
He smiles and greeted you with, "Aw, you must be that excellent baker. Your strawberry shortcakes are my favorite."
Your insides melt
"oh-oh thank you!"
There's an awkward pause before you remember what you came to do.
"Is there something that you need?"
You're entirely lost in his crystal blue gaze
"Yes, actually, I came to pick up a wedding cake for Nile Dok."
Your eyes widen in surprise, that's the wedding cake you've been preparing
"Oh yes, I just need to finish a few details and you can take it."
He nods and moves to the side so other customers can pay.
You pipe the last ruffle around the top tier of the cake and carefully box it up.
You take it to the counter and let him inspect it to make sure it's to the standard of the event.
"It's beautiful. How do you make such intricate designs out of frosting?"
"Lots of time and practice." You ring him up and notice that he signs a check in his name
Erwin Smith
"By the way," he hands the slip of paper to you and smiles, "can I- can I get your name?"
"It's (y/n)."
"Guess I'll see you next time, (y/n)." He sweeps the cake box off the counter and strides out of the restaurant
You hadn't realized your heart was pounding so hard
He does see you again
Many times actually
He's always with friends
Sometimes they're banged up from an expedition
Sometimes they're clean cut and dapper from attending a ball in the inner walls
Erwin always insists on coming up the register to pay
On one such occasion, he asks you out on a date
"(y/n), I was wondering if you'd like to come horseback riding with me sometime? Just the two of us."
Your tummy turns with excitement
"I'd love to!"
Erwin's face lights up, "How about tomorrow afternoon. There are some nice trails not too far out of town."
"That truly sounds lovely."
"I'll pick you up here then?"
You nod and hand him his receipt
General Headcanons
Erwin is a calm and calculating man
He's taken the proper time to understand you
He really knows you inside and out
This is both a blessing and a curse
You can never hide anything him
Not a surprise
Not a burning secret
Usually it's never a problem
He teases and pokes fun
Never to be hurtful
There have only been two instances where a problem arose
The first was about his past with Marie
You worried that he settled for you
He hadn't but you can't help but feel that way
Erwin doesn't bring this up at first
He's at a loss for words
What is he supposed to do
Sure he fancied Marie once upon a time but he's moved on to better things
Like a relationship with you
But how does he express it
He takes you up to the top of wall Maria and you sit on the edge
He holds you close to him and plants kisses all over you
"You know I love you more than I've ever loved anything else?"
"Really?" You know that he knows
"Really-" his knuckles stroke your cheeks "And when this is all over I'm gonna marry you and you'll be mine and I'll be yours always."
Your heart swells
"Don't worry about the things of the past, dandelions do not compete with roses."
He feels bad comparing Marie to a dandelion but it's the truth of the scale
You just get him and it's all he's ever needed
The second instance is when he becomes commander
His job was stressful enough but then he got placed in a position of such power
He senses that you're bottling something up and he can only guess what it is
"You can tell me anything, you know that right?" He's called you to his office because it's time to deal with the issue
"Yes"
"Care to tell me what's been on your mind?"
"Erwin I-" you can't ask him to stop. His career is so important to him that I'd be selfish to ask him to step away.
"This about me being commander isn't it?"
You slump in your seat, defeated
"If this is about my time and attention I've always got enough moments for you. You'll always be welcome in my office."
"Erwin, it's not that!" You begin to cry, "I'm scared."
Erwin takes you into his arms and presses you close
"I know, sweetie, I'm scared too. This war is-"
"It's not just about the titans!" You gasp the lapels of his jacket and sob into his chest, "You take so many risks and put everything on them. I can never understand every angle. What if you get into trouble and nobody can help you?" What if-"
Erwin dries your tears and kisses you as you express your concerns.
There's little he can do to wash away your fear but he tries to be as comforting as possible.
He said he wanted to wait to be married until after humanity had won
But there was no harm in a little symbolism
So you get engaged
Privately
There's no set wedding date because he still wants to wait
But that ring on your finger is for you to understand the depth of his emotions
You're the only person he can truly be loose around
Now onto the cheesy stuff
Erwin likes long walks
Arm in arm
Usually along a riverbank
He talks about politics and expedition reports, history and any other weird things he knows.
He's taken the initiative to learn about the things you love so he can talk with you about those
When he's away and you're not with him
He writes dozens of letters
Little stories and poems too
His office shelves are lined with cute knick-knacks you buy for him
He lives for the warmth of your body next to is
Thus he absolutely adores cuddling
He gives exquisite hugs too
He strikes me as a guy to love the childish kinds of teasing like poking and pulling on earlobes. Gently of course
He loves to kiss and be all over you when he gets the chance
Sometimes he asks you to come to his office simply so you can sit on his lap while he works
He really is like a giant teddy bear
He keeps a small notebook in his pocket and you've never seen its contents
But you've seen the title on the first page
Thoughts of (y/n)
You absolutely die
He memorizes the things he writes down in that notebook and whispers them to you as you doze off after a particularly spectacular evening
His fingers trace your bruised neck, lips by the shell of your ear
"I've picked the most lovely flower in the garden to give my heart to."
And then a final kiss goodnight
Tumblr media

Levi's monologue when he was beating the shit out of eren
Tumblr media
I can't believe it. I mean, really, can you? It's like a twisted, messed-up joke that humanity's last hope is pinned on a group of bumbling, power-hungry, so-called leaders. These guys couldn't even lead a donkey to water without getting lost in the desert...
And don't get me started on the Yeager brat. Ugly as a Titan's backside, but they want to barbecue him like he's the main course at a Titan buffet. The poor brat is scared out of his mind, stuttering like a broken record, begging for his life every few seconds. Newsflash, brat: nobody understands you when you're gagged. It's like trying to have a deep philosophical debate with a brick wall.
Nile Dok, the shining beacon of all that is pig-headed and self-important. Head of the Military Police, they call him. But from where I'm standing, he's the grand poobah of all things nonsensical. And let's not forget Nick, the Minister Shitface, holding the prestigious title of vice-judge. It's like a match made in heaven – two peas in a pod of bureaucratic incompetence.
Erwin, on the other hand, well, he's got his own history with Dok. Something about stealing Erwin's girl, Marie, way back when. The details aren't clear, but you can bet your boots that it's a festering wound that still stings. You see, Eyebrows may look as calm as a tranquil lake, but beneath that serene exterior, there's a storm brewing.
Minister Nick and his never-ending religious sermons. He's all about that Walls mumbo-jumbo, but honestly, I've got more important things to do, like keeping your sorry butts alive in this Titan-infested world. If I did give a damn about religion, I'd want a better spokesperson than this guy. I mean, really, it's like having a dung beetle as your life coach. Nick's "inspirational" speeches would put even the most dedicated insomniac to sleep. But hey, maybe that's the secret to his survival – bore the Titans to tears. While he's preaching about the great beyond, I'm out here in the real world, making sure you have a future to even worry about.
If there's a heaven, hell, or purgatory, I hope they've got better entertainment than this holy bore. Dok's playing puppet master to Zackly, and it's a damn puppet show I'm not willing to watch any longer. The clock's ticking, and I can't let this charade continue. The jury needs a reality check before Dok's nonsense becomes law.
Erwin, my partner in crime, gives me that unspoken signal, and it's like we share the same damn brain. Twins, they call us, and they might be right. But let's get one thing straight – I got the looks, and I've got the, well, length, if you catch my drift.
It's time to step up, cut through the crap, and bring some order to this chaotic world. Because if there's one thing we don't need, it's more clowns in this circus of despair. It's time for the Survey Corps to do what we do best – kick some Titan ass and take names.
It's a damn shame that I have to resort to beating the living daylights out of Eren Yeager to make a point. But let me tell you, it's like a twisted kind of therapy for me. The kid's got a hair-trigger temper, and it doesn't take much to set him off. I mean, everything makes him lose his marbles.
You'd think we were living in a world where Titans are the least of our worries, with the way Eren goes ballistic over the smallest things. It's like he's got a personal grudge against serenity. But hey, if my fists can knock some sense into him, then I'll gladly be the bad guy. In this world, losing your cool can get you killed, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep this circus from turning into a bloody tragedy.
Mikasa, the black-haired girl, can't seem to stop gushing over "Ereh!" like she's some kind of Titan-slaying goddess. The way she clings to that Titan-spitface is almost comical. Kid's got herself a full-blown crush on Mr. Yeager.
And sure, I've heard it before, that Mikasa Ackerman looks a bit like me, despite us having zero ties. But let's get one thing straight – I'd rather be related to a sack of potatoes than be associated with a brat who's obsessed with Eren.
I'm not one to toot my own horn, but between her and me, I'm the hotter one in this messed-up circus. Beauty might not save the world, but it sure beats being infatuated with a Titan-transforming teenager.
It's not the stench of their porky existence that gets to me, although that's a close second. No, it's the fear that I feed on, thrive on, and let me tell you, it's a feast.
Dok and Minister Nick are probably soaking their pants, and also shitting right about now, knowing that in my mind's eye, I'm picturing them in Yeager's shoes. There's something satisfying about watching them squirm, knowing that their day of judgment might be just around the corner. It's like a sweet symphony, and I'm the conductor, orchestrating their fear, one crescendo at a time. This world is a savage playground, and I'm the merciless player.
Wait shit, was that a spit and blood covered tooth? Holy hell, it doesn't matter. I need to pull back. Just one more kick.
Okay, maybe one more for good measure. Can't leave things unfinished, right?
And one last one, just to make sure things are nice and tidy. It's not often I get to let loose like this, so might as well enjoy it while it lasts. Another kick for the sake of, well, cleanliness.
TLDR: Shipping between Levi and Eren won't be tolerated, it's disgusting.

Was it ever confirmed Mari was in love with Erwin? Is there any more sources about their relationship? From tiktok to twitter, people always say Marie was in love with Erwin but Erwin turned her down and she settled down for Nile. But I never got any confirmation for this and it always sounded like a headcanon, if it is, it doesn't sit well with me that fandom loves to paint a female character who has her own family and children like someone who was always in love with another man and not her husband because she was rejected especially after how Historia and Mikasa are treated every day.
PS. I know Erwin wrote love letters to Marie for Nile but it doesn't explain anything to me since she was thinking Nile wrote them to her, he was whom she was picturing. I don't know a lot about smartpass aus and character interviews that's why I am asking about additional Marie info.
Thank you so much and I hope you are having a great, Eruri filled day <3
As far as I know there is nothing in the manga, the Smartpass stories, or the supplementary guides to suggest that Marie was in love with Erwin. We don't even know if she knew that Erwin had feelings for her. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. The only information we have about Marie is the conversation between Erwin and Nile in the carriage in chapter 53, and the two Smartpass stories Erwin’s Letter  and  The Incident of the Scout’s Mysterious Advertisement everything else is just speculation and headcanons.
I think it's because we have so little information about Marie that so many headcanons have grown up around her. She's a useful blank slate that fans can project all kinds of personalities, theories and ideas on to. I'm guilt of this myself. I've written Marie into numerous fics where she appears as Erwin's former fiance or lover. My headcanon for several modern AUs is that Erwin had a relationship with Marie and genuinely loved her, however he realised they wanted very different things from life so he chose to split up with her, rather than committing to a life that would make them both unhappy. This is from Sealskin for example:
It had hurt. It had hurt more than Erwin could have believed possible. And what hurt the most was that he knew he had been right. He had loved Marie, there was no question of that, but he also knew, had known for years in fact, that he couldn’t give her the life she wanted, with the nice house and the nice car and the nice kids. The very thought of such an existence was anathema to Erwin, like being trapped for life behind impenetrable walls. It wasn’t fair to Marie, to promise what he couldn’t give, so Erwin had done the decent thing and ended the relationship. Marie had been devastated of course, so Erwin could hardly blame her when she sought solace and a shoulder to cry on from one of their friends. And when his former fiancé got together with his oldest friend, Erwin had been genuinely pleased, he’d even toasted them at their wedding six months later. If he had felt the loneliness seeping into his bones when he had returned home from the marriage celebrations to his empty apartment, he silenced his doubts by telling himself that he had done the right thing, the honest thing, the only thing that was fair to Marie.
As far as headcanons go, I don't see any conflict with Marie falling in love with Nile and marrying him after splitting up with Erwin, that's just something people do. I am very much not a fan of scenarios where Marie is shallow, vacuous, or vindictive because that just smacks of misogyny to me. To return to canon, all the information that we have suggests that Nile and Marie were very happy together, regardless of any past history she may or may not have had with Erwin. Bless them.

.......snippet from my hitch-centric WIP? (post-rumbling angst)
Tumblr media
Hitch looked up at her destination as she tied her horse to a post with a generous length of rope. The thatched cottage was undoubtedly lived in, with chimney smoke puffing into the morning chill, and crude, childish drawings scratched on the limestone walls with some soft, dark rock. Only as she passed the cobbled fence did she notice a hunched figure knitting in a rocking chair in the garden. "Isn't it too cold to be out so early?" she called as she approached. The old woman startled, bleary-eyed until her gaze focused, eventually, on Hitch's breast pocket, and her epaulets. "Hullo, officer." Hitch saluted. "Good morning, ma'am. What are you making?" It was nearly spring, though Hitch wouldn't say anything to discourage her. "A sweater," she said happily, holding it up. "Do you think this will fit Nile? You see him more than I do. I'd hate to split for the arms too soon." Hitch tapped her chin thoughtfully. "You can keep going. He mostly sits around, so I think he'd like more breathing room." "Good. He's always been too thin." And returned to her knitting. "Er," Hitch said, "Are the girls up?" The elder didn't respond, and Hitch was resigned that this would likely be their only lucid interaction this weekend. She let herself into an empty kitchen, where the wood-fired oven stuttered sadly. Hitch dropped her luggage by the table, then crouched down to revive the fire as quietly as possible. Despite this, footsteps thundered down the staircase with a tell-tale rush of panic. "Oh, thank god," Marie Dok breathed, slumping against the wall. "I thought Nile's mother was baking." "I think she meant to." Hitch jerked her head at a covered mixing bowl on the table, apparently forgotten. Marie groaned. "Where is she?" "Outside." Hitch nursed the fire to the sound of mother- and daughter-in-law bickering—please don't bring furniture outside and why didn't you wake me if you wanted to use the kitchen? against someone needs to feed my grandchildren and no wonder your husband stopped coming home. Nevermind the box of his things Hitch arrived with five months ago, or the dark garnet bolo tie that rested in a display case on the mantle, a token from the new regime to the families of officers who "bravely beat back Marley's land attack" in Shiganshina.

Any idea for Marie's maiden name? Does she have a middle name? What's your suggestion?
I'll start with Marie Elizabeth Wieck. Elizabeth as a middle name because it is aurally congruent with "Wieck"?? The maiden name was inspired by Clara Schumann's because the Clara/Robert Schumann/Johannes Brahms love triangle is just as tragic as Marie/Nile Dok/Erwin Smith.
