A simple meme. Post a comment describing a hypothetical meeting between the Save the Earth AU version of your character (IE the one in this game) and the original version (IE the one straight out of the TV show/book/game.) either with a description of their opinions or with an actually written out conversion.

Also, if you like, you can continue by way of tagging other people's posts, and threading out an encounter between your StE AU and their Original Flavor version. Or between your your Original Flavor and their StE AU.

[YES YOU SURE ARE DOING A GREAT JOB REMINDING HIM OF HIS LAST CONVERSATION WITH ANNIE]

You might look scary sometimes, but I'm not scared of Annie and definitely not of you.

[shortspoken]

Is that the idiotic bravado talking, or the titan?

[ Psst Eren

You know that look Annie gets when she gets to do her martial arts thing and there's actually some life in her instead of BLUH BLUH APATHY BLUH

Guess who is displaying a similar look right now show her the titan titans are so strong and tall and WHY ISN'T SHE A TITAN YET ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Awww he likes that look, why you gotta remind him :c]

I've fought Annie often enough that it's not just bravado.

[Never mind that he's... never defeated her on his own...]

[shortspoken]

So it is because of your unfair titan advantages. Of course you wouldn't be scared of such a weak, frail woman as I...

[wirsinddiejager]

[He just gives her a long, steady look.]

I know you're a titan. You don't have to pretend.

[shortspoken]

[ Eren gets a tiny smile! Filled with all sorts of complicated little self-conscious regretty feelings and a whole serving of HAHA NO. ]

I'm not.

[ yet ]

[wirsinddiejager]

...Annie is. That means you are too, doesn't it? Isn't that how this is supposed to work?

[shortspoken]

I don't know how to prove it, but I'm not one.

[ Shrug~ ]

[wirsinddiejager]

You don't think I'm gonna believe that, do you? I know better than to trust you.

[shortspoken]

[ ow ]

Fine.

Tell me how to do it. Then I'll try, and nothing will happen.

[wirsinddiejager]

...Wait. You're saying you don't know?

[shortspoken]

Yes. So tell me.

[wirsinddiejager]

If you really don't know, that's already proof that you can't turn into a titan. So no, I'm not going to tell you. I'm not giving you any kind of advantage, no matter how small.

[shortspoken]

Advantage? You know we're all on the same side, here?

[wirsinddiejager]

Annie and I were never on the same side. For all I know, that might be one of the things you have in common with her.

[shortspoken]

[ Wow she has no idea how to respond to this other than trying not to look hurt.

THEY'RE KIND OF ON THE SAME SIDE, OKAY

LIKE ALAN IS 100% ON THE "TRY NOT TO SCREW OVER" LIST EVEN IN THE WORST OF SCENARIOS ]

I suppose.

[wirsinddiejager]

[A part of him almost wants to apologise, the part that still wonders if maybe those three really aren't all bad. He just pushes it down like he always does. No matter how they might seem, they can't be trusted. Never again.]

It's nothing personal. You might well be telling nothing but the truth. I'm just not taking any risks.

[shortspoken]

Understandable.

[ Wow look at that she's doing the full shutdown WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Dammit, why do you have to almost make him feel bad for his intense distrust.]

There's not much else to say, is there.

[shortspoken]

I suppose not.

For the record, Alan trusts me.

[ This sounding more like a point of pride than it probably should. Because. Because Alan. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

There's a lot that Alan doesn't know. I trusted used to trust Annie and her friends, too.

[shortspoken]

I've given him reason to trust me. I taught him what a titan's weak spot is. How could that benefit me in any way?

[wirsinddiejager]

He would have learned that on his own sooner or later anyway, wouldn't he? So you bought his trust with worthless information.

[shortspoken]

Is teaching him to use the 3D manoeuver gear less worthless?

[wirsinddiejager]

[Okay no he doesn't have a counter to that one, that is actually pretty useful]

...Why are you so concerned with getting me to trust you?

[Because Annie wouldn't be.]
