the way Levi looked here, finally letting out all his emotions after so long, in an exhausting, constant battle, knowing that everyone's life's were honored, his mission been accomplished
I'll never move on
my roman empire is erwin rising up his eyes in peace knowing he's been granted mercy, & many years later levi doing the same in resolution & peace with his choise remembering he truly did that for him all those years ago, spared him from face another hell
Everything during the last salute was perfect.
Levi's soft voice & expression,
the pacific face of the SC members looking at him.
The music, the Wings of freedom vanishing showing Levi's trembling eyes & single tear knowing it's over.
What a masterpiece & perfect conclusion.
erwin smith: kept levi away from female titan long enough until it was safe to attack, didnt let him fight while his ankle were hurt, didnt let him face the beast because of the danger, & SACRIFICES HIMSELF for him to survive & beat it
a random: "he'd let levi die for his dream"
in every version of the scene is so precious. imagine the man you love looks at you as if you were all the most sacred beautiful wonder ever existed, as if every minute in this world have been worth it because you were there.
oh to be levi
I'm so fond of the concept of mikasa and levi being so supportive with e/o after the war. after all no one better than them to understand the other so well about that heartaching feeling that migh never leave
