im sorry if this is a dull subject (or if its been asked before) but what do you think standards of beauty would be within the walls? particularly in the inner wall where people would have more time to be concerned with that sort of thing? i was thinking it could be similar to the 18th century where it was fashionable to be a bit chubbier as it looked like you could afford rich foods?
This is not a dull subject nor has it been asked before! With regards to beauty standards of the wealthy, in a setting that’s explicitly patterned off of what looks to be Late Middle Ages/Early Modern Europe, I think yours is a fairly logical rationale.
18th century Europe, 17th century, hell, go back 13th century even—if we look at portraits of most well-off persons from those eras (and not just in Europe!), they were all generally depicted to be pale (either from lack of light exposure or artificially achieved via powder), with soft/rounded features and face paint/cosmetic enhancement of some sort and form. The paleness can be tied to the idea (one that is pervasive in many cultures) that darker skin indicates your regular involvement in manual labour, which usually takes place outdoors; which means regular sun-exposure; which is something only people without money have to do; and which is thus undesirable. Then there’s the soft/rounded features in both body and face; I’d posit that this particular ideal wouldn’t just be attributable to having access to rich/a lot of foods, but would also tie back to the utter lack of strenuous physical activity.
Now, outside of Sina, the beauty standards may be drastically different—especially the further away you get from the capital (influence being inversely proportional to distance). They might emphasize attire/cosmetics/what personal belonging is on display, moreso than the particularities of fleshy contours. There might have developed standards where, in the absence of good means to control your bodily appearance, the focus would probably shift to even more external aspects. Instead of “My body is literally a physical embodiment of my wealth and since my wealth is beautiful, so am I” it would be a “This accessory is beautiful, and since it’s on me, so am I.”  
So in short, for the most likely beauty standards that would be alive and kicking in Sina, and especially of those in the upper class, it’s more likely than not that soft-and-voluptuous was the way to go about impressing your peers. It makes sense that a glorification of an “All play and no work” standard of living would naturally result in aesthetics that properly reflect such standards. 
((Months later, I finally get around to answering this reply—and this is an abridged version of what I’d originally wanted to write.  Sorry for the wait, anon. And for the utter rubbish this reply is. orz))

Holy rivaille are you singaporean? :D
Nope—sorry, anon!  Am technically mainland Chinese, nation-hopped a bit during my prepubescence, only to somehow have ended up in the U.S.  :D; I’d only visited Singapore for the first time last summer.

Headcanon: Government Sanctioned Holidays
Tumblr media
Prior to the fall of Wall Maria, the Wall inhabitants probably had a lot more to celebrate for and with. Given the throwback nature of the society within the Walls, however, festivities and holidays probably correspond to astronomical/lunar/seasonal phenomena/political machinations. So while there isn't necessarily such a thing as “Christmas” (or even Yule), the people do have a major winter holiday by celebrating the Winter Solstice. (“Congratulations on surviving another winter! An extra loaf of bread for all!”) And likewise, a major warm weather event would likely take place during the summer solstice as well. ("Hurray! The sun is shining, the day is damn long, and we're still alive! Vine for everybody! Even the kids, yes, you too little Pixis! You too.")
The government encourages such festivities--the secular ones at least--to keep the masses content/occupied.  
Various sub-populations of the Wall inhabitants may have their own unique holidays as well, depending on the makeup of the collective heritage and/or local history. The Wall cultists may observe the day the Walls were completed as their religious new year (the date of which could be arbitrarily defined or could be passed down and actually be accurate, we may never know). The economics of Inner Sina may lend itself to some form of "Lovers' Day" or other commercially involved affair. And of course, the King's birthday would likely call for some mandatory celebration.
This is not discounting, of course, the possibility that most, if not all, major pre-Wall era holidays somehow survived to be passed down as antiquated traditions, then modified as times and needs saw fit. But not all major pre-Wall holidays are made equal. One festival in particular met its unfortunate end shortly after the fallout from the Colossal Titan's decision to lovingly introduce his foot to Wall Maria like a particularly large and steamy wrecking ball. Because while it may have been, once upon a time, perfectly harmless to dress up as the stuff nightmares are made of, after one too many incidents involving military veterans and hordes of children-sized Titans menacing them for sweetmeats, the government had to ultimately ban that particular tradition by royal decree. 
((Thank you for this ask sparklecoyote! Would you believe this headcanon has been sitting in my drafts since last december? Because it has.))

You're too awesome to only post something once in, like, 500 years.. I understand very well that you're busy. /cries/ Just thought I should tell you how much I miss you.
Oh god, I am far from worthy, much less deserving of being missed. But thank you so much for being understanding and for such a sweet message! Seriously, it made my night when I first received it and continues to make me smile. I think I'll be a little more free this month to get caught up with fandom (fingers crossed! knock on wood!). And am definitely going to try harder to carve out time/motivation to produce more quality crack.
(Gestahlt and I already have something big planned, but since that initial brainstorming session some weeks ago, I've become the bottleneck where progress goes to die. Again. orz /guilt-trips into the sun.)

Tumblr was so kind to notify me via email as to what a terrible person I am and how I completely missed this blog's first year anniversary. And then this kind of happened. 
Thanks for putting up with all the crack and ridiculousness and obscenely long stretches of radio-silence. <3

Crack Script: Mean Girls Parody feat. Many Characters
((Jotting this down so I won't forget.))
Erwin Smith. Erwin Smith. How do I even begin to explain Erwin Smith?
Erwin Smith is ruthless.
He has two fashionable wings and a diamond bolo.
I hear his brain is / eyebrows are insured for a year's supply of meat.
I hear he does motivational speaking. In the slums. 
His favourite opera is Don't Cry for Me Wall Maria.
One time he met Commander Pixis on top of Wall Maria. And Pixis told him he was sexy.
One time he punched his Majesty in the face. It was awesome.

Headcanon: Erwin Is an Expert At Forging Signatures
Handwriting forgery was a skill he developed from a young age. First by learning to mimic his father's handwriting; then, those of his classmates'.
As Erwin grew older, he quickly realised the practical use of such a skill in the political arena and polished it to the point where he can now forge most writing styles and signatures of all the highest ranking government officials.
Erwin doesn't limit himself to only the penmanship of the aristocracy though. A man must practice to keep his skills sharp, and Erwin Smith is nothing if not a pragmatist.
Suffice to say, Erwin considers all his peers and subordinates to be fair game and quite often takes the liberty of responding to missives addressed to a recipient as the recipient. With or without the intended recipient's knowledge or consent (usually without).

So, ignoring the fact that snk-note’s PSA was posted over a month ago (shhh), I’m just going to take this opportunity to piggy-back on it before I truly go underground. Because I couldn’t have put it better myself—
Am first echoing the apologies for the long bout of radio silence. You’re all here for SnK crack, so I won’t bore you too much with details, but long story short: I was added in January onto a case that’s been culminating to a truly monstrous 3-week minimum trial, set to kick off in a little more than a week. These days I literally have no life, much less time outside of work, to churn those creative juices. I’m still keeping up with the manga and spin-offs. I get the most infernal and untimely urges of wanting to make a gag doujin. And I feel terrible that it’s taken me this long to even attempt a coherent PSA.
However, like Gestahlt, I also refuse to post for the sake of posting. That being said, I have more half-started headcanons, fics, and comic scripts in my draft-folder than I’m comfortable with just leaving there unfinished. I’ve even started another batch of Rumours (Levi makes it too easy). There are even a bunch of asks that I have yet to answer (I’M SO SORRY IT’S TAKING ME THIS LONG OTL). And though the months since keep increasing, I am absolutely going to put together that Attack on Singapore post. 
In short, this blog is not dead. It’s just resting. Call it a hiatus if you must, but it will be back with more crack after April. 
Cheers!
- kirui
p.s. Contrary to Gestahlt (it doesn’t happen often), I’ve finally settled on—and wholly and unabashedly embraced—a pairing of choice for this fandom. But worry not, all content will continue to be gen or open-ended free-for-all for maximum crack purposes.
This isn't a headcanon, I'm just wondering if this blog is still active. I love reading all your funny posts (as well as that of snk-headcanons) and would be really distraught if these two blogs died :( please keep up the amazing work; your fans are addicted to your crack :)
Right, it’s about time I addressed this.
Guys, I’m really sorry about the abysmal lack of updates in this blog. The past few months have been incredibly busy for me IRL, and to be honest, while there’s enough canon material for me to write about, I just haven’t been hit by the right inspiration. I think my decided lack of ships for this fandom has contributed to my sudden writer’s block - it’s more difficult to lose creative juices when there’s the power of shippy ~tru wub~ to keep lubricating you in the fucking stuff. People who follow me on my personal blog know that I’ve written a few things for the Free! fandom, and that’s because I… ship a lot of things in there ahahaha. Not to say that actively shipping something is superior to not shipping anything because IT’S NOT; it’s just that sometimes, I can be a shameful fujoshi wreck, and porn is way easier to write than humour.
This isn’t to say I’ve left SnK for Free! (never never never), it’s just that my writing mojo has been favouring the shippy variety lately, but I do believe it’ll balance out eventually.
Also, @kirui and I haven’t really found the time to go on an SnK brainstorming spree since our trip to SG last August, I believe (HOLY SHIT THAT’S A LONG TIME AGO), and she’s my main motivator in this fandom so… D: 
I actually do have stuff lying around for the blog- I have about 5 different WIPs (one of which is Part 2 of 15 Orders from Erwin Smith that Levi Rephrased for Maximum Effect); it’s just that I can’t seem to wrap them up in the way I want to. The thing is, I refuse to post for the sake of posting; I really don’t want to give you guys less than what you’re used to seeing from me. But I am trying.
So anon, to answer your question: NO, THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD. I REPEAT: IT IS NOT DEAD. THINK OF IT AS A VOLCANO: IT IS DORMANT FOR NOW, BUT WHEN INSPIRATION FINALLY STRIKES, IT’LL BE A MEGASPLOSION OF KRAKATOA LEVELS.
~ Gestahlt
PS: I’ve written some sort of humorous, parody-like commentary on the latest chapter of SnK, summarized as “Humanity is Well and Truly Fucked Because Eren Jaeger Can’t Get Hard and Fill A Hole; Let Me Explain To You How.” Is anyone interested in reading it?
PPS: If you guys can link me to motivational Scouting Legion Veterans related shenanigans of any sort (fic, art, meta, etc) that would be super awesome.

Do you have any headcanons about other members of the 104th like Bert, Connie, and Sasha?
I do have headcanons for some of the other 104th squadrons actually—usually involving childhood shenanigans. (I love shenanigans. I mean, just imagine the variations of trouble Eren, Mikasa, and Armin most likely got into as wee kids, or the magical journey Sasha went through to become a baller teenage hunter. Dude, Sasha foraging in the woods and learning what’s edible, what’s not edible, and what will get you higher than the Walls.)
But the truth is, most of those headcanons have been/are probably heavily influenced by  fandom-hivemind already so I usually just don’t bother. And besides, I still find it infinitely easier to headcanon for older, supporting characters with spotty pasts. And the really simplified reason why: with characters that have less room for more character growth, there’s less of a chance of being completely jossed. 
ETA: I do feel compelled to expand on that Sasha headcanon though. When I manage to wrestle away more time from work. One thought leads to another and, well, Honey Badger. I'll leave it at that for now.

i FIGURED I SHOULD POP ON AND TELL YOU. Because Marco isn't dead. The corpse Jean found belonged to someone else.
Oh, I think I’ve actually seen the massive theory post that really advances that belief! Alas, his on-screen death (or, if you will, the very convincing insinuation of his demise) happened before my brain drew the protective lines that make up my NO-MORE-DEATHS-BEYOND-THIS-POINT headcanon sandbox.
I suppose Marco’s fate is one that I refuse to speculate on because the rest of the fandom has made such a good argument for one outcome already. I liked Marco as a character—he was impressively fleshed out for what little screen/page-time he got, and he was an excellent comrade and foil to the rest of his fellow trainees. Regardless, Marco doesn’t really feature too much in my headcanons, so I’m content with believing either way, until Isayama dictates otherwise.

I have a really sad headcannon: When Marco was alive, Jean liked make constellations out of his freckles, just like the ones in the sky. After Marco died, whenever Jean sees the sky at night, he has to excuse himself or else he'll brake down crying in front of everyone.
Why would you share this anon. Such sad. So pain. No.
Let me fix that for you:
((Begin headcanon))
Marco is at heart a romantic of sorts, and often enjoyed star-gazing. When Jean found out that Marco liked to star-gaze, he wasted no time in procuring semi-permanent ink with which to vandalise Marco's face while he slept. With Armin's help, Jean was able to map out no less than 3 major constellations on Marco's freckles.
... and if one of the constellations ended up looking remarkably phallic, well, that's only because Armin told him to connect the wrong stars before realising his mistake, okay. 
((END HEADCANON NO SAD NO MORE CRIES OKAY))

{I'm probably a little late to the party but in the post with all Mike's girlfriends, is that a Mambo No. 5 reference I see? I cannot get the image of Mike in a pinstriped suit and fedora out of my head now!}
I can’t remember if we ever did make an official announcement (probably not?), but yes indeed, anon, that was a Mambo No. 5 reference.  Gestahlt and I have a questionable habit of slipping in modern day pop culture references as easter eggs. :’) Sometimes it’s just more convenient and fun than coming up with new names and all that jazz.
Speaking of jazz—Mike would rock a fedora. And pinstripes. And braces/suspenders. Hot damn son, just give him an alto sax to go with.
