Do you know the story of the Phasianidae? It’s a bird that experiences all of time in one instant. And she sings the song of love and anger and fear and joy and sadness all at once. And this bird when she meets the love of her life is both happy and sad. Happy because she sees that for him it is the beginning, and sad because she knows it is already over.

This is hilarious 😂
I'm so disappointed so many of birth control's scenes were cut from the anime like when reiners last thought before almost pulling shotgun trigger and his moment with telling Annie that she is charming and shouldn't marry into nobility.
(This was the closest I could get to Bert doing the surprised pikachu face)
Oh no anon! I hope you have a laugh like I did when you see this typo. It is a most cursed and hilarious autocorrect 😂 I do sympathize. Over the years I've spelled his name Bertholt, Bertolt, and Bertholdt with some Fubars and Foobars mixed in with the Hoovers since that was an early romaji of his name. I guess poor Bert was doomed to this sort of thing when he was given such a complicated and confusing name.
But to answer your ask, I agree it's a shame. Bert fans have gotten the the short stick when it comes to both the manga and anime adaptation. My bertholt hoover tag is filled with much salt about his treatment in canon. In a fit of rage I once even speculated that Isayama treated Bert unfairly because of unresolved childhood trauma. I don't think that's entirely fair now, but I was angry and needed to vent.
This is all to say I hear you, anon. #justiceforbert2016-2022 😂
my contributions for the pikuhan week, the first time I do every day in one of these events. I hope it's not the last time.

I don't know if you know them, but i recently read the "the you know who girls" series and really enjoyed it.It's a high school/basketball story with various wlw realationships:)Do you know any other books like that? (Your blog is absolutely great)
I do know them! I’ve read the first one and then promptly bought the second one from her website. (For those who aren’t familiar, they’re by Annameekee Hesik and they’re great for younger queer readers especially.) If you like those, my highest rec is Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan for sure, and I suspect you’ll also like Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde, which comes out on Tuesday, and Dating Sarah Cooper by Siera Maley, even though on the surface they don’t have much in common. Oh, and Style by Chelsea Cameron, definitely!
Happy YAs with actual queer casts (as opposed to ones that have them because, say, they’re set at conversion camp, or Rachel Gold’s, which I love for having very queer casts but also always feature some abuse - something I appreciate but obviously can’t recommend to everyone)instead of just a character or two are kind of just super recently budding, which is one of those great changes happening to LGBTQIAP YA right now. You Know Me Well by David Levithan and Nina LaCour was a really great example, and Meg & Linus by Hanna Nowinski is an upcoming one I’d definitely put on your to-read list.
