Tied Up in Marley

Should be studying or at least finishing my other works, but random bursts of inspiration get me to write small drabbles instead. So here you go! I think I'll start making a collection of these on my AO3 so it's easier to find and navigate in one place.

Synopsis: Follows after the event of the SC making it to Marley. Levi finds it difficult to adjust to the cultural differences in the enemy territory. Mainly the clothing style and the overly complicated accessory called a tie. Hange, however, helps him figure it out.

Pairings: HangexLevi

"Tch... these are stupid." Levi grumbled as he fiddled with the smooth piece of fabric in his hands. Eventually throwing his hands up in frustration at annoyance of it becoming a tangled mess once more.

"Sounds like you're having fun over there, huh, Levi?" Hange's amused voice called out to him as she made herself known at his door, characteristically having intruded without much as a knock.

They were staying in Marley at the moment, getting ready to meet up with Onyokopon and the kids for their secret mission of surveying what the new world was like. Onyankopon had given them all Marlian outfits to fit in and blend in the crowd, and needless to say, Levi was not particularly fond of this thing called a tie.

"Fuck off... why do these people bother making such a complicated thing when there's more sophisticated forms to adorn their wear?" He grumbled as he got his fingers stuck in the black fabric, eliciting a swear from him.

Hanger watched her companion struggle for a bit longer before heading his way, pulling his hands away to stop him from further messing with the tie.

"Here, I'll do it for you." Before he could reject their offer, Hange's slim fingers pulled at both ends of the long piece of fabric, pulling the shorter man closer to her by the neck.

Eyes wide and complains dying in his throat, the man stared at his companion in surprise.

"What? Cat's got your tongue?" Hange teased, but kept her eyes on the black garment as she started making intricate loops out of them.

With a clear of his throat and the slightest of pink adorning his cheeks, he looked away, grumbling at something that neither could really decipher. "Oi, Shitty-glasses, I'm not a fucking titan that you have to decapitate, you know."

But the man's initial discomfort at their proximity eventually faded as he glanced at the woman's deft fingers, her expression one of concentration as she hummed along to a random tune as she finished. His heart jittering a bit at the calmness she displayed for the first time in a long time.

"There!" She proudly presented, pushing the man towards the mirror centered in his room.

"Hm... Not bad." He finally responded after a careful inspection of the woman's handiwork. "Where'd you learn the Marlian's way of tying this? Books?" But as he threw a look at the woman next to him through the mirror's reflection, he caught sight of the matching tie perfectly adorning around her neck. The look causing a sinking sensation in his stomach. "Or did someone else teach you? One of the Marlians within the residence?" He finally asked, turning away as he started noticing the way the woman's eyes captured his own through the mirror.

A moment of silence fell between them, and the longer it did, the worst the feeling in him deepened.

"Let's go. The kids are waiting." He finally said, deciding he didn't want to find out either way. He didn't know when he started developing these strange thoughts and feelings towards his commander, but all he knew was that when it started making itself known, aspects and thoughts of someone else being at her side other than him had become more and more frequent. And in turn, more painful.

"Jean. Jean was the one who taught it to me. He learned it from Onyancopon and taught it to the rest of us while you were adamant on cleaning your room." She finally said as she caught up to him. "Although I have seen some books while on our way here that show different ways of doing it."

As they made their way down to wait for the kids, they took notice of Mikasa tying Eren's own tie. The young man fussing around saying he could do it on his own while Mikasa attempted to try and recreate the one that Jean had sported earlier. At seeing the two veterans join them, the two immediately spread apart, a bashful look on their faces.

"Corporal... Commander..." They greeted.

With a knowing smile, Hange walked up to them. "Need help? I can do it for you." But before anyone got the chance to answer, Levi walked up to them, pulling Hange towards him.

"They need to learn how to do it themselves, just give them a demonstration instead."

Throwing her friend a confused look, Hange tilted her head to the side. "Demonstartion? On who?"

At her words, Levi deftly pulled apart his tie again. "Here, do it again."

His three companions threw incredulous looks at him, but otherwise didn't comment at his suggestion. Finally relenting, Hange eventually started doing as asked, teaching the kids how to do the intricate pattern of steps on the scout's corporal's tie.

When finalized, both Levi and Eren sported perfectly made ones. And by the time they finished, the rest of the kids had joined them, all ready and eager to go to the outside world.

But right before they left, Mikasa slowed down to walk next to the corporal, a smug look on her face. "Smooth. Couldn't be more obvious about your feelings." She said, earning a hiss from the man as she stuck out her tongue and left for her friends.

As they walked side by side, marveling at the new atmosphere around them, Levi continued to subtly throw glances at the woman beside him, his hand feeling at his knotted fabric every now and then.

"Is it uncomfortable? Did I tie it too tightly?" She asked, finally taking notice of the glances.

If he was surprised by her attention, he didn't show it. "No. But I'm not planning on making this a part of my every day wardrobe at all. It's too much of a hassle." He muttered.

Hange chuckled but understood. "That's fine, I don't think we'll be staying in Marley for too long anyways." She said as her eyes followed after Jean, Connie, and Sasha as they all gasped loudly at some exotic food. And after a heavy sigh, she went on to stop them from pestering the poor merchant, leaving the man alone for a moment as the commander went on to deal with the mess.

After some time walking, the two decided to settle down on a bench next to the water as the kids went off to try some of the foods giving out free samples, leaving Onyankopon to look after them. And as they basked under the warm sunlight, he couldn't help but notice the smile that grazed the woman's face. This was probably the most free they've felt after taking on the task of a commander, he thought. Here they were just normal citizens, or at least presenting themselves to be. No one knew who they were, what their titles implied, or what fell onto their shoulders to carry. They were just two normal people.

"Since I'm not planning on learning how to tie this fuckery of a choking hazard... maybe it'll save me the trouble if you experiment them on me while we're here." He spoke up.

Hange threw him a confused look for a moment before Levi pulled out a book from his pocket, handing it to the woman without as much as throwing a glance at her. "You said you wanted to try learning other methods of tying them." He muttered, pushing the book into the woman's hands.

Hange's exposed eye widened in surprise as she took the book into her hands. Slowly leafing through the pages, awe and excitement could be seen appearing in her eye, the long-lost spark finally coming back alive, with it igniting a new fire within her.

"Hope you're ready for tomorrow then! I got the one I want to try!" She exclaimed excitedly as she continued focusing on the book in her hands, completely oblivious to the warm look the man next to her gave.

"Can't wait." He muttered.

And just like that, the following days started with Hange joining him in his bedroom to try a new pattern. The events turning into an unspoken tradition while staying in the foreign lands. Each time allowing a few minutes of alone time between them, and each one bringing back a piece of Hange Levi seemed to miss from when they were mere scouts.

But now that the war was over and a years have passed and the first days in Marley were behind them, Levi stared at the lose piece of fabric draped around his neck. The man looking back at him through the reflection of the mirror missing the familiar smiling figure that always stood behind his as she worked on his accessory.

A knock on the door alerted the man of a visitor, and as expected, Onyankopon walked in. "Hi, Captain. Are we ready?" He asked as he stepped in after being invited in.

With a nod, Levi looked down at the worn out cover of the book in his hands. His gift to Hange now in his possession after the outcomes of the war. The paperback having survived because Onyankopon had brought it onto the ship with him knowing its significance to both the ex commander and the corporal.

"Let's do this one today." Levi said, pointing to one particular page.

Onyankopon raised an eyebrow as he took the book into his hands, surprised by his choice. "But this is the original form, Captain. You sure you want this one today?" He asked.

Levi nodded. "Yes. It's Shitty-glasses' birthday, and I think she'll appreciate this one the most." He said. The memories of their first day in Marley and their tradition on the new world coming back to him.

With a nod, the young man got to work. Recreating the original knot that the woman had done for him on one of the last normal days they'd have.

Onyankopon, Gabi and Falco all joined Levi on his yearly trip to the ocean. It wasn't the same one that he and the 104th had seen when encountered with the large mass of water for the first time. But as Hange's said once, all bodies of water connect to each other one way or another. And he sincerely hoped she was right as he'd always envisioned her as the human embodiment of water. Always free flowing and expansive. And most importantly, never truly gone, just present in different forms.

While the others left Levi alone to say his words in private, he set down a bouquet of flowers down. Bright yellow roses, as bright as she'd always been.

"Hey Four-eyes... I'm wearing that stupid tie you were so excited learning about. You know that the only times I ever wear it is when i come visit you, right?" The raven-haired man asked out to the ocean. A gust of gentle breeze sweeping around him as if in response to his words, a small smile gracing his lips at the mere thought.

"You promised me you'd keep tying them for me, Shitty-glasses..." He muttered into the sky. "You better keep your word when we meet again."

---------

"I'm going now!" Hange called out as she raced towards the door, a shoe in one hand and a piece of toast in the other.

"Oi, wait a minute, Hange. You forgot something." A male voice called to her. And as she looked up, she was met with the sight of her husband. Fully clothed but his tie hanging loosely around his neck.

With a soft smile, the woman stood back up, placing her piece of toast into her mouth before pulling the man by his lapels, earning a grunt from the man at the woman's childish behaviour. "Come here, grumps." She said, carefully tying the intricate knots with ease from all the years of practice she'd had tying them for her husband.

"I'll be back before dinner! Love you!" She said as she took the toast back into her hand, leaving a peck on the man's lips before heading out the door.

"Tch... thanks for keeping your promise, Hange."

Am Jesus of Our Time Who Prophesied About the New Music Style – Terry G Claims

When Madness is still culturing in Minds of Nigerians through the Kind of music Terry G was Deeping Out to Millions of Nigerians, Many thought he was Just Mad and Was Influenced by too much consumption of Hard Drug at that time.

The Benue State Musician, Terry G have been said to have changed his new Music Lifestyle ever since he went Out of the Industry. "But we are Yet to Hear any of His new Track to know if the Claim is True"

Just Recently, An Interview was Conducted and Terry G was present with a Lagos Base Media Company to discuss his flow and How his Brand has Affected the new Generation Music In Nigeria.

Torixus Media Learnt that within the week Terry G's Music Company has Signed series of Documents to Merge with Ogbuefi Udochukwu a.k.a Fire’s Basic Entertainment for a Better Come Back of One of the Nigerians Great Star. Terry G have always been showing his Calm Nature recently and Nigerian Still doubt the reason why Madness Can Suddenly Stop in a "Twinkle of an Eye"

He Made a Point where discussing his musical Life in the Interview, Terry G Said that he has Always waited for these very time in Nigerian Music industry where People embrace the culture of ruggedness as the new bid. Adding that he was initially Critized for his Kind of music But Now everyone Dances to those kind of tunes.

The Gab teeth Music Master Said that he is the Jesus of Nigerian Music because of what he Prophesied and Now it has come to Past, he said that he prophesied that a Time will come in Nigeria when everyone both Young and Old will embrace His Kind of music and dance to them without frowning at the Singer unlike how he was treated in his Own time.

But on that Note, Torixus Correspondent noticed that the Benue Man is Pointing his tag word to Two Main Nigerian Dance hall crowners, Naira Marley and Zlantan Ibile, who have Shattered the wave of Mad act and made everyone dance to their tune.

Torixus Addressed Terry G as John of Our time who came to make way for the New people that the world will understand their nature and Love to base their Dancing steps to Their Music.

Going down memory lane, the gap-tooth singer, who has been silent for some years now, expressed sadness that when he started what is in vogue today, people criticized and discriminated against him and his kind of music. But they have now embraced it wholeheartedly.

According to him, “I sang and prophesied about this nonsense that is making sense today. At that time, nobody knew my aim. I just wanted to make the difference because you can’t just be doing the same thing. Now, I am of a different breed because I am the reason for what is happening today. There is need for people to understand me – that it wasn’t like I didn’t know what I was doing then. I was just taking a risk which is what is happening today in the Nigerian music scene. “

For leading a revolution in the music scene, Terry G, however, described himself as the “Jesus” of Nigerian music, saying he set the pace for the present trend in the industry. “I’m the Jesus of Nigerian music, I’m not the Christ. The Christ is the saviour, Jesus is a name, and for the fact that Jesus is the most popular name that died for us and sacrificed for us.”

“It took me a while to take this risk that a lot of persons discriminated against me and now, they see people smoking, doing stuff and nobody is talking. There must be a pace-setter.”

Terry G claimed many Nigerians frowned at him, adding that they have embraced and supported most of the things they criticized him for in the past.

The “Akpako Master said he wasn’t sorry for anything he did in the past, adding that his concern was to comeback and reclaim his place in the country’s music scene.

Claiming also that he never enjoyed fame because of pressure and controversies, Terry G also agreed that “I once said too I enjoyed being controversial.”

The hit maker recounted how his journey into the world of music began, noting that he drew his inspiration while going through people’s windows to watch MTV Base back in his village.

He added that his quest for exposure, having hailed from a very poor background inspired his decision to go into music.” Nobody inspired me into music. I got exposed by what I was watching on MTV Base. I just wanted to be better. That period between 2007 and 2008, people saw anybody who was wearing ear-ring and smoking as irresponsible person.”

While comparing himself to rave of the moment, Naira Marley, Terry G admitted that it was not in his place to decide whether he was more influential than the Marlian President.

He said that Marley is only trying to ‘archive’ a lot , even though he sees both of them “making the world go crazier.”

Terry G also revealed that he once rejected a deal with Sony Music, claiming that it did not pay.

“They are not giants, but hustlers. I rejected Sony music deal and Burna Boy also did. It doesn’t pay,” the singer said. He, therefore, advised Nigerian singers to ensure they understand the details of every agreement before they sign deals. In addition, Terry G urged artistes to take advantage of their fame, saying it does not last forever. “When the lights are shining on you, do not think that they would be forever. My own fame was full of pressure, controversies,” he added.

Terry G is one of the singers that broke the strict rule of music and gave the licence for freestyles to be used as original acceptable musical joint in Nigeria. He created a style in the music industry thereby making the art of music easy to do, leaving the impression that anyone can wake up to do music.

“Free Madness,” “Akpako Master”, “See Groove” and “Sangolo” are some of his songs which ruled the airwaves in the late 2000s and are still enjoying airplay till date. For many reasons, people see Terry G through his songs as the star of his own multitude of beautiful musical lunacy. With his planned comeback to his first love-music, Terry G’s fans should expect nothing short of refined ‘madness.’

CEO of Basic Entertainment, Ogbuefi Udochukwu a.k.a Fire said it all, when he noted that the investment deal which will lapse after three years will help to re-brand and also remake “Akpako Master.”

“Bringing Terry G into my record label under an investment deal is something that will benefit both parties. Terry G is already a brand but Basic Entertainment need to re-brand his brand so as to bring me to the limelight again. This is because his kind of music is what is in vogue in the country today.”

On his own, Terry G’s manager, Alex Ozone said the partnership is something they are all looking forward to harnessing in future. While Terry G has lamented that he never had his own fair share in terms of getting endorsement from the corporate bodies, the new deal will go a long way to reverse the sad story. “Even if they see me as a crazy guy, the corporate people will also see the calm side of me. That’s what keeps me going,” the singer noted.

Top 20 Influencers in Nigeria 2020 Edition

These top 20 influencers in Nigeria are consistently putting themselves out there. Everywhere across the world, there are always people whose activities and/or lifestyles influence other people around them. With social media, the reach of most people has increased and some people now wield more influence on certain platforms than others. All of the influencers are selected across different spheres of life based on how they are currently affecting discussions around their specific fields and sometimes, pop culture in Nigeria.

Naira Marley Naira Marley: Only recently, a pastor of a church was praying for parents to not have children who would be Marlians. That is how much influence this young man has had, albeit some would argue negatively. https://youtu.be/YXQYjs3JMpM The fact that almost all your favourite celebrities are ‘Marlians’ is proof that Naira Marley is one of the biggest voices in Nigeria right now. His influence on pop culture, music and the younger generation cannot in any way be overlooked.

Toke Makinwa 2. Toke Makinwa: This Nigerian Diva was recently trending for her camel-toe being visible on a picture she posted. Toke’s sexy fashion sense and controversial statements have made her a fan favourite. With her book sales, her vlogs where she shares unpopular opinions about life and relationships, her name is never really far from the lips of fans and she’s always one statement away from trending.

Tacha 3. Tacha: Since her days in the last season of Big Brother Naija, Tacha has successfully built a strong fan base. Her fans, the ‘Titans’ are one of the most powerful movements the show is yet to see and just like Queen Elizabeth, she can do no wrong. TACHA was a BBN contestant, was saved 10 times in the House by her Fans and was disqualified from the BBN Pepperdem. She was reportedly promised an audio compensation money from a fake ass celebrity who never delivered.
