Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
"I used a reference off Pinterest" and yet you still did not give credit. Are you afraid to give credit to source because it reveals you painted over it?
I'm confused. Is it wrong to use references now? Am I supposed to draw from my only my thoughts? I know plenty of artists who get their pictures off the internet. So why is it suddenly a fuckinf crime? I am allowed to use references and paint in my style. Where the fuck do you get off at anon? You've been in my retrospring for like 14 days. I've been ignoring you because you're being a little bitch for no reason. Get a fucking life dude
Im always wanted to ask this, one day i was hearing the sing ATWCI by Matt Maltese and i was wondering if there's a possibility you were inspired by the song, i love you and your fics btw, and is so good to have you back ♥️
Ahah yeah! That song definitely inspired the title of my fic and I often listen to it while writing. It just really captures the essence of Eren and Levi's relationship in the story. Even as the world caves in around them, they hold each other close and face the worse that is to come together 🥺💚❤️
What's your favorite color
thoughs in fem levi? (im kinda obsessed with her
Fem Levi is beautiful 😭 she's so strong and nurturing and soft despite her cold exterior. She's perfect 🥺 plus she's got them curvy hips and tiny waist and Eren goes absolutely feral over her. I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of just genderbending Levi and not Eren just because personal tastes but gender bent ereri makes me Fjskdkfnsk FERAL. I know I've said it before but I'd love to write a genderbent ereri fic. Cause you bet Eren eats Levi's pussy like groceries 🥵
How do you think modern Levi would be introduced to Eren's family
I think Eren would be loud and proud about introducing Levi to his family. He'd bring him over, holding levi tightly to his side, and tell everyone "this is my boyfriend Levi!" And Levi's just internally cringing cause everyone keeps paying attention to him and asking him questions. But no matter what AU or circumstance I imagine Carla would swoop Levi up in a hug, welcoming him with warmth into the family. Meanwhile grisha is just disinterested and zeke is a little too interested 😂 idk I always enjoy the thought of the jaegers being a bit eccentric and when Levi's introduced to them he's just like 'holy shit these people are insane' but secretly loves it cause they're a beautiful family 😭
Do you think Eren would make one of those Thanksgiving jokes like 'Oh the turkey wasn't the only thing stuffed today'
Which Levi and Eren from your fics are your favorite
Ahhh this is so hard cause they're all my babies. But I think I have to say misguided ghosts. They're just so damn innocent and lost and I relate to them so much. The 2000s emo vibes just do it for me. But I have to say I really have a soft spot for Maneater Levi. I just love his growth so much 😭 he deserves the world
I want to ask for some writing advice but I'm too embarrassed to put it in the Discord...
How are you able to commit to your plots and what you write in multi-chapter fics? I always end up wanting to change things - could be something as simple as some sentence structures to something as big as a whole plot point. But obviously you can't really be changing the fic's plot after publishing... idk if you might have some advice for that but yeah it's been a real road block for me in writing longer stories
Ahh I'm so sorry for how late I an in responding to this. I don't get notifications to retrospring for some reason so I didn't even know this was here. But I guess to answer your question is I don't stick to my plot all the time. Yes I always have a timeline that I follow and a general theme or idea I'm perusing withing the story. But sometimes I will stray away from what I have planned in my timeline if for some reason I get a new idea or a character decides to take a scene a different way (which happens a lot to me actually). I think when writing its important to be flexible while also keeping in mind what you've already written. For the most part I find it more natural when you follow the flow of the writing instead of forcing things into your planned timeline. If you looked back at my timelines and compared them to the actual chapter you'll see that they change quite a bit. However I always keep the overarching theme or end game in mind while writing so I don't get too far off track. I hope that helps!
How and when did you start writing?
I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember actually. I remember when I was 7 I wrote a picture book about my dog chasing her favorite squirrel and I illustrated it. When I was 11 I started writing a novel (was it good? No. Did I finish it? Definitely not). And from then on out I just knew I wanted to be a writer. Throughout high school I never really did anything for writing except writing the occasional fanfiction but when I got to college, after switching my major from nursing to English, creative writing, I started writing for school. But when I graduated I was so depressed that I didn't write for years. I never wanted to. And whenever I would try to write it was always shit. It actually wasn't until I rewatched AoT in 2020 and fell in love with ereri that I found the inspiration and motivation to write again. There's a reason this ship is so special to me. And that's because it pulled me out of my depression and gave me the creativity to finally start writing again. And since I started my first fic Harder to Breathe, I haven't been able to stop writing for these two. So I guess I've been writing for 21 years and it wasn't until 2020, 2 years ago, that I really sat down and completed a whole story. And I have Eren and Levi to thank for that!
How do you feel now that MG is over
I feel so relieved, happy, and a bit sad. It's definitely bittersweet. I started this fic over a year ago and there was a long stretch of time where I lost motivation to write it. I was worried I was never gonna finish it. So being able to finally complete it and also being happy with the way it turned out is an amazing feeling.
This fic is super special to me. It makes me feel things no other fic I've written is able to. I feel like Eren and Levi are so relatable in MG and their growth as individuals and as a relationship throughout is beautiful. I really don't think I'll ever be able to write something as sweet and as special as MG Eren and Levi's relationship ever again. Luckily, I have more planned for them in a sequel so I'll get to explore these versions of them a little bit more which I'm VERY excited about. Their journey is just beginning!
Since you just got married — give us some Ereri Wedding Headcanons :3
Ohhh yesss! Levi would be incredibly stressed on the wedding day while Eren is chill as fuck. Levi wants everything to be perfect so he's running around like crazy making sure everything is in place. He definitely has a breakdown in the middle of the reception when the DJ won't play songs people are requesting (did this happen to me? Maybe). So he gets wine drunk to cope with the imperfections. Meanwhile Eren is having the time of his life dancing and drinking with his friends. But then he notices Levi's having a meltdown and pulls his ass out in the dance floor and makes him dance and laugh and before he knows it his bad mood is gone and he's forgotten all about the issues.
During the cake cutting, eren takes a big slice and shoves it in Levi's face. At first Levi is shocked, disgusted maybe. But then he sees the smile on Erens face and he takes the cake smeared all over his face and shoves it across Erens smiling mouth. Then Eren leans in and licks the frosting off Levi's cheek and nose.
Hange makes a toast and embarrasses the fuck out if Levi. He chugs his whole glass of champagne and they have to bring him another glass for Armins toast (which is much more tame. Eren's a lucky bastard).
Eren and Levi are so tipsy the moment they get into their ride back to the hotel they're all over each other, ties and suit jackets coming off. The driver speeds up to get to the hotel so he doesn't have to see anything shdjdj. Eren and Levi had planned on fucking all night, but after their first time, they're both so exhausted and drunk that they pass out naked in each others arms and don't wake up until late the next morning
They go somewhere tropical on their honeymoon but it ends up raining the whole time they're there. Which is fine because they just wanna be together. They end up drinking and getting high in their suite and just fuck all day, only leaving to eat and buy more alcohol.
Another friends to lovers au,
Hange, Levi's best friend, dies in a car accident but decides to linger around and bother Levi as a ghost — because they can't move on until they know that Levi will be looked after.
And that means possessing Levi's body and confessing to his boss at Jaeger Corp, Eren.
Dhjsjsdj your brain 😂 Levi has been crushing on his boss for years and hange was always so frustrated that Levi would never make a move. So when they died they said enough enough and took control. Levi loses complete control of his body and mouth and he can't stop hange from taking his body into Mr. Jaegers office, can't stop hange from making him say "Eren, I love you and have wanted to ask you out for years but have been too chicken shit to do it." As soon as those words are out, hange leaves Levi's body, leaving him to deal with their mess.
Eren states at Levi like he sprouted a second head.
Eren: are you feeling okay?
Levi: nope think I ate something funny. I'm just gonna go home for the day.
Eren: wait. Did you mean... what you said?
Levi: no
Eren: aw that's a shame. I was going to see if you wanted to have dinner with me tonight.
Levi, a little too quick: I can do dinner
Eren: I don't know. If you're not feeling good...
Levi: I feel fine
Eren, smirking: is that right?
Levi, blushing and feeling awkward as hell: uh yeah. I should get back to work now.
Eren: alright. I'll pick you up at 7.
Levi, completely stunned: okay :3
strangers to friends to lovers, where Levi borrows Mikasa's erasure during class, which has Eren's name written all over it, and Eren sees, mistaking it for Levi's and believing that Levi has a crush on him.
Levi doesnt get a chance to correct Eren before Eren is publicly asking him on a date
Omg Eren asking Levi out and Levi being like "who the hell are you?" And Erens so confused cause he's convinced Levi has a crush on him. Why else would he have an erasure with his name all over it?
Eren: don't you like me?
Levi: I don't know you
Eren: then why is my name all over your stuff?
Levi: the fuck you talking about
Eren, defeated and confused. Is Levi just playing hard to get?: okay well you wanna go out with me or not?
Levi: what part of I don't know you do you not understand?
Eren: that's the point of going out! We go hang out, see a movie. It doesn't have to be weird.
Levi: OK.
Eren: okay?
Levi: yeah. OK. Pick me up at 6.
Ok, head me out. Lovers to enemies ereri where they both have lingering feelings, but they end up on opposite sides of a war. They still hatefuck though.
This has always been my thought of what ereri in canon is (as much as id love levi to be a jeagerist. Alas. It's not real). Levi feeling the ultimate betrayal when Eren leaves him for Marley, effectively breaking Levi's heart. But when they get Eren back, and Levi visits him in his cell, he realizes just how weak for Eren he is. He wants to be mad, furious, heartbroken. But one look into Eren's eyes and all his anger and hurt disappears and all he feels is love and sadness. He thinks about what could've been, what /shouldve/ been. But Eren ruined it when he decided to chose violence and war over their love. Levi drills into him, verbally berating Eren for everything he's done. Meanwhile Eren is stone cold, unfazed by Levi's words, which only makes Levi burn brighter. He lets himself inside the cell so he can get into Eren's face, push him around a little, let his hurt out physically. But Eren's bigger now, and he towers over Levi, grabs his wrists and holds him in place. He pushes Levi up against the wall and leans down, mouths an inch apart. There's nothing but bitter heat and smoke between them. It fills Levi's head, clouding his brain. All he can think about is the feel of Eren's warm skin on his own. It's so familiar, tantalizing, surreal. He missed the feel of Eren so much that when Eren closes the distance between their lips, he gives in to him, forgetting all his anger and hurt. All he can think about is Eren.
