for Katsuki in off season, i think her plan that night was just to get even with Midoriya (since he already started started seeing other people after they broke up). and she had a bit of an attraction to Eijirou anyway, so he was her first pick for a casual hook up. but i think after spending time with him, she realizes that she does actually like him a little more than that 🥹

and if Midoriya found out about Katsuki and Eijirou hooking up, he would be a little bothered by it but he wouldn’t feel like he has a right to get mad because he himself is trying to move on 😔

in terms of the gossip, people didn’t know that Midoriya and Katsuki were already broken up, so when someone saw Midoriya with another girl, they just assumed he was fucking around 😭 and whenever people do find out about Katsuki and Eijirou, Ei is gonna have to deal with a few “wasn’t she your friend’s girl, bro?” comments but he’s with the girl of his dreams so 😔 in his mind, she’s worth the trouble 🥰

i didn’t ship anyone in aot until i got to the bitter end of the current anime run. i’m glad i held off bcs man … we lost a lot of soldiers out there 😭😔 i didn’t really go into the show with any intentions of shipping. my cousin loves the series so i gave it a shot after she kept telling me to watch it for a year 😂 so erejean honestly snuck up on me. like damn, aot has a ton of huge ships and i really chose … this one. it’s true what they say about the ship choosing you bcs i’m pretty committed to erejean despite them being a rarepair 😔🫶🏼

i think the biggest thing that drew me to them is Jean’s amazing character development combined with the complicated relationship we as a viewer have with Eren towards the end. i didn’t really like Jean at first but now he’s my favourite 🥰 and i don’t think i ever truly warmed up to Eren (i never trusted his ass 😭) but i’m so fascinated with his character. the two of them have a fiery dynamic together and they develop a lot of mutual respect for each other over the course of the series. i think there’s a lot to dig into there.

there’s the rivals/friends/lovers aspect. they’re too similar in a way that makes them butt heads. but they’re both very straightforward and fiercely loyal, which i can see being a solid foundation for their friendship/relationship. both of them are also very charismatic — big personalities on their own, but can thrive off being around other big personalities — so i can see them being very easily drawn to each other. idk maybe that speaks to my own personal love of big personalities.

well now i’ve written a damn essay 😭 i could literally go on forever about erejean 😔

it’s sad in a bittersweet way. Tetsu is really taking a look at his life and trying to see where he can make meaningful changes and it’s not a coincidence that this is also when he acknowledges that he actually does have feelings for Eijirou and Katsuki. i think the old him, the version of him that was content to coast along and not think about the future — that version of Tetsu would look at those feelings and go “love is the solution.” and that would’ve led to a turbulent, codependent dynamic because nothing would’ve really changed. but the version of him now that we’re about to see, this version might understand a little bit better that love is simply a mundane but worthwhile endeavour. it’s just another choice you get to make every day. it’s not something “to have.” so yeah, it’s sad in the sense that this is really just the beginning of a better relationship with himself, so he might not even see a relationship as a priority. but i think that’s hopeful in a way as well.

i’m so glad this story really stuck with you 💘 i have a lot of love for second hand news 🥹

oh the angst potential of this … 😟 (😈) i think if Katsuki had run into Tetsu first that night, it’s pretty likely they would’ve hooked up and it would’ve turned into a fwb situation. and someone WILL catch feelings first and ofc it’s gonna be Tetsu 😭 Katsuki would be super hot and cold 😞 he wouldn’t open up very easily bcs of Tetsu’s reputation as a fuckboy, so even if Katsuki did like him a little bit, the entire arrangement would just be about sex for him. Tetsu would be fighting a long uphill battle as soon as he realizes his own feelings 😭 they’d keep their arrangement secret for a very looong time. and it would be on-again-off-again as soon as Tetsu admits to wanting more 😭😔 but even after that, i could see them working out long term if Tetsu really put in the effort to show Katsuki how committed he is.

Ei would figure it out /right away/ and it’s instantly heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 but he’d try to pretend it didn’t bother him 😭 eventually he’d just distance himself from Tetsu because it would hurt too much 😞 their friendship would be pretty strained for a while and Tetsu would just have no clue why because Ei would feel too guilty about admitting his feelings 💔 idk i think eventually he would be able to work past it, especially if Tetsu really loved and cherished Katsuki 😭 it would take Ei a very, very long time to get over it though.
