pre-relationship bullshit haikyuu teams probably had to put up with before various ships managed to get their shit together

daisuga probably was really annoying with like small/petty jealousy, like a girl would hit on one of them and the other would be standing behind their back making faces about it and mocking it and everyone else on the team just has to put up with it. and then theyre all overly sweet to each other to make up for the petty jealousy or some odd version of "winning them back" after the flirting event and the team is rolling their eyes *so hard*

i think asanoya is so annoying bc nobody can convince Asahi that Noya likes him. Like full stop. Eventually someone pulls him aside and is point blank like "Noya said he has a crush on you ask him out" and Asahi is just like: "Haha he was probably joking" and just leaves the scene. Like the absolute refusal to believe it from Asahi combined with Noya's classic teen boy inability to be sincere means that even after theyve both been told they somehow still havent gotten together??? how long is this going to take???

tsukkiyama probably ruins everyone's week the week before they get together bc one of them *saw* a confession letter stuck into the other's bag and absolutely went (emotionally) off the rails for the days leading up to them discovering it was for them.

I am fully of the camp that iwaoi start dating before they label it/make it official so the whole team is screaming like "PLEASE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT" meanwhile Oikawa is saying "we just went on a few dates and kissed a few times it doesnt mean anything" and Iwa is in the background shouting "yeah I dont wanna be anyone's boyfriend that's lame" and then they wander off to go eat dinner together holding hands and the team is left in frustration because ALL they talk about is how theyre *not* in a relationship.

for bokuaka its mostly just Bokuto pestering every goddamn person he knows for like 4 months asking "do you think Akaashi likes me?" or "do you think he'd say yes if I asked him out?" and then one day making Konoha *snap* when he says "I need to tell you a secret" and the secret is that he has a crush on Akaashi as if nobody had known that

with ushiten I imagine Tendou was probably really obvious with his crush/interest but in like a very casual "not taking myself too seriously" kind of way so he's comfortable openly flirting, and Ushijima, against everyone's expectations, doesnt seem to mind the attention but is still who he is, so the whole team just has to put up with the most INSANE interactions. Like Tendou walks into the locker room and cat calls him and Ushijima just replies with a formal "thank you" and Semi is contemplating slamming his head in a locker. There's like 12 months of this.

okay okay but I think arankita is *very classic* in that Aran compensates for his crush by over-supporting Kita. so like the whole team gets super annoyed bc Aran wont risk disagreeing with him, is always offering to do extra work, is generally just sucking-up really badly and the twins suffer the most for this bc Aran used to just ignore their antics but now he's super annoyingly on them all the time to try and impress Kita

kuroken is a little different. Yaku asks Kuroo every single day if he's asked Kenma out yet. Lev asks Kenma if he has a crush on Kuroo every chance he gets. Fukunaga gives them a wink when they leave practice to walk home together. This is the only pairing in which the team is the irritant pre-relationship and then post-relationship everyone loses interest and moves on.

I'd include kagehina but once again the entire goddamn show is everyone putting up with them flirting so whats the point.

first time writing fanfiction of a character : uughh i hope this is all canon accurate... it cant be canon innacurate at all or the enitire fandom will throw rocks at me...

10057th time writing the character: heres them working at a mcdonalds

there’s wip (active development) and wip (stuck in development hell) and wip (oh you’re not even getting funding for this one)

guys I'm at work and

THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE.

I MEAN LOOK AT THE WAY THEY'RE EVEN CROSSED OVER EACH OTHER THEY'RE SO OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER I'M SO EMOTIONAL RAAHHH. the sad life of a klancer warrior

‘eruri is cannon’ i scream as they drag me into the white room

Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge. 

AO3 Comments are SO SO SOOOOOOO important because you can only leave Kudos ONCE. You add to the hit count ONCE (every 24 hours).

So whenever someone updates their fic, the ONLY way an author knows who their regular readers are is if they comment on each chapter. And we WANT to know who's still reading.

Believe it or not, some of us think about the name that pops up constantly in the comments and go "omg I can't wait to see what they think of THIS SPECIFIC SCENE cuz I KNOW they'll say something about it!!!"

“Is it okay if I draw fanart of your fanfic?👉🏼👈🏼”

My brother in Christ we shall have a spring wedding

Yachi art :D I feel like I don't see enough of her!

Fair well boys 🫡

There's something messed up with the left eye. Everyone just ignore it lol.

This lighting was fun to do

Ignore the flannel, I kinda cheated with it shhhh

Happy whatever day it is for you <3

And happy late birthday to jimin <3. The days slipped away from me, but if I'd noticed sooner I would have painted him instead, but I didn't oops

Happy less than nine months until we get WWH back, everyone <3

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"

Starting a collection

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:

change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot

this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)

you can set your likes and follows to private

checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing

follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric

drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally

DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!

tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7

be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3

eruri receipts post

 ~supplemental material edition~ guidebooks/smartpass/interviews/misc info that pertain to eruri because why not. [last edited: november 2020. i’ve added some stuff but we’re drowning in eruri content so this list is in no way exhaustive]

A Choice With No Regrets - official spinoff just for the two of them :)))) in THREE versions! i’m linking the VN here because this seems to be the least known despite being First and Original. contains the classic eruri line “what a man” and other gems

Guidebooks/profiles/author interviews - official information & word of god

ANSWERS on Eruri: entire fucking sections of a guidebook dedicated to yams waxing poetic about eruri, how ackermans unlock their full potential by devoting themselves to one person, that for levi this is erwin, that there’s a time he got a bit mad at erwin & felt a bit at sea, ~there’s still so much i don’t know about him~ but he didn’t doubt erwin and decided to go along with him, (wow this sounds exactly like historia’s pledge to ymir) etc. etc. a gold mine.

2017 Character Directory:  isayama going off about how eruri is mutual and equal and SO MUCH MORE, GOD. personally it’s so validating to hear things we as eruris knew, like levi telling erwin to die bc he knew that’s what erwin wanted, but it’s also HEARTBREAK ALL AROUND

Levi’s type, according to isayama, is “tall people.” actual tall people btw. maybe about 180+ cm. damn are there any tall people around that he has self-professed personal feelings for, i wonder, (also “does he like women?” jfc did yams just imply that levi is gay)

POUTWIN: isayama blogging about how erwin POUTS. at levi. when levi tells him not to go to shiganshina bc it’s too dangerous. erwin is babie

Isayama’s 2018 Oita Q&A: levi went back to shiganshina for erwin’s bones,,, ;_; eruri just never stops being extra

Life is Strange was an influence in chapter 84, where the choice between sparing one person you love vs “everyone else basically” is remarkably similar to levi’s situation. yams likes the romance of lis. there are no implications here

Isayama in the 2020 Hita event: confirming for the millionth time that Levi’s hanging on to the promise with Erwin ;_; & more about their ages and blood type (which i mention bc their types are very compatible. it’s a whole thing in japan 👀)

  TRUST [May 2015]: more stuff about faith that we already know but it’s nice that they get their own relationship sections in character guides lol

Erwin’s Gekkan Shingeki profile: Erwin—Levi = Solid Bond

Levi’s Gekkan Shingeki profile: Levi—Erwin = Deep trust/faith

Eren’s Gekkan Shingeki profile: Levi—Erwin = Deep trust (idk why it was necessary to add this here when this is eren’s profile & erwin’s not even linked to him?? just gotta insert Dat DeepTrust everywhere ig)

Interview with Erwin and Levi: from OUTSIDE guidebook, adorable part where levi is like “you’re not clean enough to talk to erwin!” the post comes with bonus eruri commentary from PASH! magazine

Erwin & Levi Feature in PASH! Magazine: this is a different one, a full page dedicated to “erwin and levi’s supportive relationship”

An Erwin profile: “more than anybody else” yanno what actually, on any given character intro (manga/anime/game/etc) it’s just super common to mention the ~bond~ or ~trust~ or ~belief~ between them. no im not gonna list down all the profiles that mention their deep gay connection i want this post to have an end

Relationship with Erwin seems to be special to Levi: jfc ok then

can only do it  when i’m ~with you~:  “erwin, who is his One and Only Partner!” lol

Oh, My Soul Mate: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you cannot make this shit up. just. GODDD

Animedia says Levi loves Erwin: LOVE. L O V E. periodt. and yes it can mean romantic AND platonic but really at this point who are you kidding

Staff Interviews - Eruri’s VAs and other anime staff offer some opinions

seiyuu interviews: Ono Daisuke (Erwin Smith): “Levi is a person who becomes a significant part of Erwin’s flesh and blood” wow ok then

Interview with Kamiya Hiroshi (Levi): “because of the relationship between Erwin and Levi, if Erwin has already decided on something, then Levi thinks that it is the right thing to do” among other things

Interview Highlights with Kaji Yuki (Eren’s VA) & Kamiya Hiroshi: nothing to do with Erwin but he gets inserted anyway. “He is just following Erwin’s order to take Eren under his wing. If it weren’t for Erwin’s order I don’t think Levi would do even that”

Tetsuo Araki (Director) in Animedia April 2019: “cannot be concluded as friendship” “no matter what outsiders say about the thing between him and Erwin” araki dropping bombs left and right

Kamiya and Ono discuss Ep 55: i just wanna point out that kamiyan was told to re-record “won’t you please forgive him” ignoring floche, but “100 to/regarding erwin, with tenderness” like make it gayer kamiyan ;_;

the english VAs ship them too just saying. here’s j. tatum’s thoughts on eruri & matt mercer saying levi’s not in love w/ anyone, except maybe erwin, unprompted, when asked a… different question. and thanks to a GLORIOUS anon: matt saying levi’s my little pony buttmark would be a “little erwin”

Smartpass stuff - weird area canonically? but the publishers are very quick to assure readers that these things have been supervised by isayama and have met his approval, also a bunch of them were bundled with volume 19

Erwin & Levi Close Up Interview Part 1  // Erwin & Levi Close Up Interview Part 2: these are just… so cute!!.… banter…. gross nerds…. “Levi is warm-hearted”… levi needling yet praising him…. adorable…!!

Levi: Close-up Report (Part One): “what makes you choose to work under the Commander? […] were you enticed by that special something that comes with human relationships?” the fuck kind of question is this. what the fuck kind of answer was that, too, levi, why are you so gay

Levi: Close-up Report (Part Two):  he just. can’t. shut up about Erwin

Crumbled Castle Gate: aww levi are u saying i look young?? :))) what the fuck erwin. & the way they stare at each other! straight outta ao3 wtf

Tea Time Incident: erwin blackmails tea from MPs to reward the hubby

Round about Midnight: not only that, he uses the SC budget for levi’s tea as well, lol. meanwhile levi wants erwin to do things for himself ;u;

Hangeki no Tsubasa - the game’s mostly just for lols but hey the 1.7x power boost was originally from here, then years later yams reveals that ackerpowers are fully unlocked by their one ackerperson, so. it’s Fair Game now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The 1.7x Power Boost: lol is this canon now WHAT THE  HELL

Erwin gifts Levi a suit for his birthday: the thought is overwhelmingly adorably romantic but the eruris are fashion disasters tbh

Training Ground 10: “i’m quite sure i didn’t completely fall for erwin’s smooth talk” sure you didn’t

Erwin makes Levi change into a swimsuit: but, like, for the good of the corps and stuff!!!!

Nile asks Levi to take care of Erwin: oh nile, oh levi ;u;

Erwin thinks Levi is a good cook: he bragged to pixis about it jfc, erwin is such a proud dork hubby

the tie-in games just… tend to do this a lot. there’s Escape from Deadland which also has this and this. & MUCH more from Tactics. there’s a whole blog if you wanna take a look!

Drama CDs - again, these cds are mostly cracky fun made for shits and giggles but they’re fucking gold. links–> (mega) (torrent)

Operation: Hospitality: contains tidbits such as levi inviting erwin to a party & the reveal that eruri always eat together after every expedition

The Survey Corps Muffler Incident: they’re just such massively cute dorks!! “LEVI HELP ME” “erwin tell them i have no interest in people’s underwear!!” “lol” “WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING” also eruri parenting styles, levi is the strict one and erwin the lenient one, what a surprise

The Case of Erwin Smith Disappearance: WOW. erwin disappears & levi with sasha+connie embark on an epic quest in his house to rescue him. N**TWIN. levi proving once again that he'ill follow erwin in absolutely everything. cutest ever sleepy scenes. jfc!!

Editor’s comments - bessatsu is published with a fanart section! sometimes erwin and/or levi art is featured. the editor comments range from a simple “aw that’s cute” to… well. i’m including this section in the post bc it’s hilarious

Levi’s smiling on the phone: so it must be erwin he’s talking to, gotcha

November 2014: levi trusts erwin bc he’s a great ride. i see.

October 2015: “…Levi’s head is filled with thoughts of the Commander!” levi is stripping himself naked. (also foreshadowing lol)

January 2016: “Wonderful school life with teacher Erwin?!”

March 2016: “cuuute!”

August 2016: “Levi carves his vow to Erwin on his chest” bro, chill

October 2016: “…his thoughts to Erwin within his chest” sorry, no chill

(october 2015 especially kills me bc that’s so goddamn suggestive. but what can you expect when snk’s main editor once #rekt an eruri hater on twitter. does he ship it hard lmao) 

Boyfriend Jacket Discourse: there is still no confirmation on who owns the jacket levi was wearing, but this is a nice take on it with translations & context. also it would explain erwin in the disaster outfit of SC jacket+black pants

They were roommates! (Oh my god they were roommates): tbh the clonoids creep me out but thanks for feeding us more material to play with

SNK Animation Gallery: ok i said no illustrations but exceptions must be made for an official website leading with shirtless (naked???) levi with erwin reflected in his eyes

i also said no merch but just. look. this is vol. 23′s limited edition not a random plushie and it’s their cravat and bolo tie intimately joined and sold alongside the actual manga like??? the fuck???

Levi’s character song and monologue mentions only erwin, and why/how he’ll follow erwin into hell (it’s bc he’s gay) also ties into sun/moon imagery that’s often used with eruri if you’re into that :)

PS: this post is just great bless the eruri fandom. & while far removed from canonverse, the parody spinoffs can be shippy too! sometimes alarmingly so, like here where every other sentence is a sexual pun & levi wants erwin’s balls??? wow i’m concerned. but sometimes it’s just cute circus dates

with many, many grateful thanks to the wonderful translators and fans who have shared these gifts with us!! @whiteflowertranslations @ningen-suki @yusenki @m-u-m-i @touchreceptors @darlingpoppet  @kikisuke  @goddamnchou @worldofchicken @wabbit-l-blog​ @leviskinnyjeans @calorescence​ @tsuki-no-ura @oscarforjm @lostcauses-noregrets​ @aot-tactics​ and if there’s anything this post missed DO TELL!! let’s gather all them receipts!!
