Unpopular opinion: What I hate to see (but probably will happen anyways lol cuz Shonen manga you know) is Armin and Mikasa forgive Eren after knowing his “true intentions”. In chapter 116 it is made clear that Armin and Mikasa start to realize Eren’s words cannot be taken at face value, and Jean and Connie remind them they are still the most important people to Eren. A protagonist deliberately acts as a villain, hurts himself and everyone around him but in fact sincerely aims for good for his friends — this is such a trope in Shonen manga. The ones who are hurt will eventually embrace their friendship again, and thus their bonds strengthened *Eyes my poor son Killua as well as Naruto and Sakura*. Imo it is also not a good plot design if Isayama amends the rupture between EMA so soon after their argument (which is written so heartbreakingly that you keep wondering how can they even go back to what they used to be.) In the end it will feel like the shiganshina separation leaves no imprint in the entire story.
me: *is arguing with someone and gets angry*
brain: you have to cry
me: why
brain: you gotta

From The Character Therapist
It would be romantic if Isayama would show us (I wish) a scene, more like a flashback in which Eren takes Historia to the sea. I really want to see the Queen's reaction XD. As well as Eren's, if he were to see Historia's pretty face while looking at the ocean. Then somewhere along the line, she tells him how beautiful the ocean is, then Eren *looking fondly at Historia* replies, "yes it is.." but keeps on staring at her.. OMG XD any thoughts about this??
Awww that's cute. I can totally see her saying "too bad I didn't get to see the ocean with you (the scouts)" then Eren replays with "that's easy , let's go together next time" with a smile.
Though he is not interested in the ocean but as long as she feels happy it doesn't matter.
Why I feel this already happened?
Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.
Sad, beautiful, tragic. Ignorance Chapter 112

Spoilers for John Wick 3 and it’s beautiful writing vs Jon Snow in the series finale of GoT (John Wick vs Jon Snow)
Just finished the movie and WOW.
THAT is how you make a likable person the villain. Take note D&D.
.
.
Winston. Oh Winston. Smart. But not very smart to betray John.
John Wick has more honor and a better brain that Jon Snow. John Wick is excommunicated by the High Table and the Continental, rendering all services useless to him. John travels to the one man that the High Table listens to. His task to go back in good graces? Murder Winston. The father figure to John and the man that has made his survival possible via pushing his death back one hour.
Tasked with great mental fortitude but distraught and doubt in his heart, John travels to the continental and meets Winston face to face. Winston, the clever man that he is, correctly deduces that the All Father, the man that is above the High Table, has ordered his assassination for his defiance against the High Table. He offers John a choice. Kill him(Winston) and live but remain in servitude to the High Table forever. Or help him and help Winston win his rebellion to live once again as a free man. John chooses Winston, of course, because John has experienced love ever since he met his wife. And he holds love for Winston for all that Winston has done for him. This proves to be the wrong choice as Winston was playing him and was merely using John as an example that Winston still held strength and would later have John as his fall man.
.
Now, in a week where I have seen two betrayals/villain turns. I should have been angry. Daenerys’ butcher ran through my mind and I felt as if I should have expressed nothing but anger.
Except…I didn’t. The betrayal from Winston was never out of place. Winston turning on Jon was something that actually made sense. Since John Wick 2, it’s been heavily foreshadowed that the High Table rules all. But as I’ve said before and as I’ll say again. “Foreshadowing is not character development”. And that holds true here as well. We actually see it. We see the power the High Table holds and it’s influence. How many elite men they could spare on their FIRST assault against Winston. Meanwhile, Winston’s forced have been reduced with only John and Charon remaining. Winston’s whole plan made sense. Everything was calculated to perfection. Disguise his weakness with John’s strength and and later turn on John to show his fealty.
And John Wick? He chose the love he had for Winston and ended up the loser. Winston realized there could only be one left alive after the entire ordeal and he chose himself (as expected of any assassin). But John’s choice cannot be faulted. He’s been out of the loop for 5 years. The bloodshed and havoc he’s wreaked has been in a span of 2 weeks. He doesn’t know the Continental. And he was blinded for the favoritism that Winston showed him. In the end, John’s eyes were opened wide to what Winston truly was. And in John Wick 4, we will see the true effect of John’s rage.
.
Now after all that. Surely I can stomach Jon’s decision to kill Daenerys much more, right?
Winston was always a ruthless man but his partiality to John blinded John to who Winston really was. Daenerys did nothing but good for her people and one act of rage somehow convinced Jon Snow she needed to be put down?
John Wick 3 was BEAUTIFUL. Another parallel/foreshadowing? Something John Wick did better than D&D? Telling us that John would kill Winston. No, I’m not talking about when he’s tasked with killin Winston. I’m talking earlier in the film, when he meets with Sofia(Halle Barry) and she tells him “Sometimes you have to kill the thing you love”. And that’s it! No dramatic pan on his face. John doesn’t suddenly go to Winston and put a cap in his ass. No! You forget about the line. You think it’s just some tragedy of Sofia’s character and move on. John struggles with himself internally and it isn’t until Winston’s betrayal and the roll credits of the movie that you remember! That you say to yourself “John has to kill Winston for what Winston did. No matter all the good that Winston’s done for him, this is something that John can’t forgive.” Versus Game of Thrones with Tyrion, “Yeah bro, love is the death of duty buuuut sometimes DutY iS ThE DeaTh oF LovE” right before Jon kills Daenerys. Like lol, did you think we’d be surprised? That people wouldn’t expect that shit when you put that literally the scene before? LMAO
THAT is how Jon should’ve killed Daenerys. The emotional turmoil is what Jon should have gone through. The decision to choose Winston(Daenerys) and only when Winston fucked over John(Jon) is it when John(Jon) decides to kill Winston(Daenerys) because he has to pay. Daenerys(Winston) even said “rule with me”. She could have been saved. She NEEDED to be saved. But Jon chose to butcher her while John chose to believe.
Really nice, so inspiring
