Thinking about Bad Boy these days, I'm a bit curious to see what Isym truly thought for Levi's backstory, but also dreading the new creative way he will torture this man and somehow also throw shade over Hanji's character

#dude same :( #also where is the marketing for it? #we are two weeks away and theres been nothing promoting it or shingeki fly? #they made a whole new twitter page for it and its been freaking crickets for months?? #snk

Did you experience whooping (the one that is painful but does not cause an injury) as a child as a form of discipline? Do you consider it an abuse?

Hi anon!

Personally, growing up I was only spanked once or twice that I remember. I could be hyper and impulsive before the age of 5, but not in a way that usually resulted in anything physical from my parents.

*turns on teacher mode*

Children 100% need discipline, but discipline ≠ beating their asses. Like yeah of course there are times where your instinctive, knee-jerk reaction is to want to use force but in my experience, it really does teach kids it's acceptable to lash out and hurt others when emotional. This is what happened with my brother who was hit regularly by my stepdad, and even as an adult he’s gotten physical with my mom and me.

Bottom line, to me it's a lazy way out, and it's all too easy for parents to become reliant on spanking as the only form of consequence for negative behavior. So while a light slap here or there in itself may not technically be abusive, I do believe it to be a slippery slope to abuse and dv.

#le me #replies #in my 10.5 years of teaching the training that had the most impact on me was the love and logic method #highly recommend if you have or work with young children :3 #idk my parents messed me up in plenty of ways but i dont feel like i was traumatized by this in particular #cw abuse

I love the postwar tea shop concept the same as everyone but I think I enjoy this idea just as much ♥️

AU below the cut so carry on if that's not your jam :3

Bonus because why not:

Had a mighty need for canon Mama's Boy™ Levi Ackerman to hear someone say Kuchel would have been proud of him 😭

Do you think the levihan fandom will die out now that the anime is over???

Hi nonny! I don't think so. At least not wholly.

The western fandom's quieted down but the eastern fandom is still appears to be going strong! If there's one reason to join Twitter it's to follow artists that aren't anywhere else, and it's worth it to keep the love flowing.

There's been drops in activity, and I think the reason is a multi-faceted one. Yes the series ended, but for a show of SNK's caliber, that didn't used to matter. I've commented on this before–and at the risk of sounding like a boomer– I blame binge culture, and more specifically, Tiktok, for playing a big role in how quickly fandoms die.

Even 5, 6 years ago, it didn't matter if a show was over; people kept the party going. A piece of official art or a merch drop kept a fandom fed for months. Now you're lucky for the hype to last a week. FmaB ended in 2010 and it was still hopping three years later when I joined in 2013. It took another four years for it to start quieting down and hell it wouldn't surprise me if it was still going. But now there's been this shift in mentality, and attention spans are shorter and sure we all joke about it but it's a real issue and you see it happen at an accelerating rate. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your interests changing, but I see over and over (at least on the artist side) creators only making stuff for fandoms if it can be profitable to them, and the second it's not they move on to the next big thing as a way to ride the hype and beat the algorithm instead of loving the thing for what it is. And I get it, it's how many make a living so they gotta do what they gotta do. It just unfortunately perpetuates this cycle of fandoms being trends rather than communities.

I will say SNK and Levihan kinda got uniquely screwed though. Due to the last season's (understandable) release schedule and the way it was marketed a lot of people kinda unfairly tuned it out. Add on to that how Levi and Hange's scenes were handled and the fandom didn't get as big a boost as it should have.

But for me, it doesn't really matter how many people are still in the fandom. If Levihan is what I feel like drawing then that's what I'll do :3 Presonally, art is too hard and too time-consuming to spend making something I don't want to. At the end of the day, it only dies if we let it. Which would be a pity because there's still the blu-ray, Shigeki Fly, and Bad Boy to look forward to! 🥳

#le me #replies #ramblings #fandom #snk #aot #levihan #fma #attack on titan #if any of this is coherent i will be v proud of myself #one of these days sleep will return to me :') #all that to say i still see new faces popping up so despite everything lh still is bringing people in #thats the power they hold ❤️
