eruri receipts post
~supplemental material edition~ guidebooks/smartpass/interviews/misc info that pertain to eruri because why not.
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.
- 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 par for the course to mention the ~bond~ or ~trust~ or ~belief~ between them & stuff lmao
- Relationship with Erwin seems to be special to Levi: jfc ok then
- Levi’s type, according to isayama, is “tall people.” actual tall people btw. about 180+ cm. damn are there any tall people around that he has self-professed personal feelings for, i wonder,
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
Staff Interviews - Eruri’s VAs and other anime staff offer some opinions
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)_/¯
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
(october 2015 especially kills me bc that’s so goddamn suggestive. but what can you expect when snk’s main editor once #rekt an 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
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 and if there’s anything this post missed DO TELL!! let’s gather all them receipts!!
