Boyfriends In A Band

Eren Kruger kitty

Wow he looks angry I hope it doesn't manifest into extremely violent tendencies or anything haha

Me: Yes, I like men. But these men

Okay one more! Couldn't help it.

Eren Kruger or Eren Jaeger?

This is something that bugged me since the moment I saw Grisha scream "Is this what you wanted, Eren??" (after annihilating the Reiss family). Which Eren was he talking about?

Hear me out.

Eren Kruger was the one that sent Grisha into the walls to retake the founding titan. Eren Kruger was the one that first said "you have to keep moving forward. Even if you die. Even after you die. ...This is the story you started, right?"

And then Eren says the same words when he manipulates Grisha in his memories. Now, I wonder, how does that translate exactly in the scene? What does Grisha see or hear?? Does he hear an unrecognizable voice that dictates things in his head, and attributes it to Eren Kruger? Or does he actually know it's his son's voice? Similarly, what did Kruger think of or hear when he said "If you want to save Mikasa, Armin and everyone else..."? Who really is pulling the strings? We never see confirmation that Eren went as back as Kruger to dictate him that mysterious sentence, the only thing we know is Eren accessed his dad's memories and that's how he knew some things, and after also reading the journals, he knew about Kruger and what happened then. We never see him have a mindblowing moment where he realizes he went back in time to change the course of history, as it is implied happened when he kissed Historia's hand.

Now, the rest of that scene after Grisha killed the Reisses and told Zeke he had to stop Eren pretty much hinted at Eren Jaeger being behind all this, but I really wonder what exactly Grisha saw, and when he became aware that he was tapping into future memories, or rather, he was being shown future memories, and most importantly, when did he know that it was his son doing all this, and how did he learn that? It's something I'd like to know more, how do these glimpses of the future get shown to the Attack Titan users, by who? Eren also got some, as well, right? So who shows them? *cough* ymir? *cough*

And can we really know for sure Grisha meant Eren Jaeger when he said "Is this what you wanted"? I don't know but I find it fun to sort of theorize that it could have been Kruger instead and that he thought he just heard the same words that Kruger had said to him before.

If anyone has more proof against my theory please share, I'm sure I forgot some important details or lines and my theory isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. Like I said, I just found it fun (now, when I randomly remembered that scene lol) how that line could be quite ambiguous.

I hope I'm not just a dilf to you guys but a friend aswell ^^ -Erwin Smith, possibly

Literary masterpiece

Take note of the last man Kruger killed

He was the same man who cut off Grisha's fingers

kill your darlings, grisha

What about Optimus prime landing at the sea port when Grisha and his comrades were going to turn into titan and Eren Kruger would turn into Attack titan? Would there been any change to the timeline?

See, this is something that I can work with. Because it includes members of the cast including Grisha, Keith, and a younger Erwin, Mike, and Hanji. It will be tricky but here we go.

So Optimus gets dropped off near the port where the Restorationists get turned into titans. He sees them get turned into titans excluding Grisha. So Dina is already a titan and walking about. Optimus hears Grisha crying out, begging to not be thrown off the wall to be fed to the titan still lingering at the bottom. Optimus reacts before Kruger can and fires at the top of the wall. The blast blows Kruger, Gross and Grisha back, and Gross ends up falling off the wall in response. Optimus then sees Gross getting attacked by the titan below, and before he can react and stop the titan from eating him, the humans are firing at him with their pistols. Grisha is scrambling, trying to get to cover, Optimus is shielding himself from the attacks, and Kruger, not seeing this outcome with the Attack Titan's power decides to make the most of it. If there was a chance this could be utilized, then he needed to take it.

Kruger transforms into titan form and kills the humans on the wall in one fell swoop. Optimus can't help but stare in shock at the titan transformation, and the Prime sees Kruger turn his attention to the ship and attack it. Optimus scrambles to the other side and is mortified to see Kruger killing all the humans, crushing them into bloody paste and throwing their bodies into the sea. Optimus can't help but aim his blaster at Kruger as he's ready to kill the last Marleyan soldier, forcing Kruger to pause in his assault. Optimus demands that he let the human go, but Kruger refuses to. He speaks in titan form, explaining that they turned innocent humans into titans for eternity, with no hope of every regaining their humanity. Kruger asks Optimus if they deserve mercy for that. Optimus retorts that every sentient beings deserves an opportunity for redemption. Kruger retorts that they just attacked him, but he was willing to advocate for them? Kruger proclaims that sentimentality would kill all three of them. They do not have time for mercy, and if they let him go, he will no doubt tell the Marleyans back on the mainland, and all three of them would be killed. He had no time, and he had to be ruthless to save them all. Kruger crushes the Marleyan and throws the body into the see. Before Optimus can fire, Kruger pulls himself out of his titan form and looks Optimus in the eye, challenging Optimus, demanding to know if the titan would kill him. Optimus is hesitating and Kruger is annoyed at him, flat out calling Optimus a hypocrite. He tells him he's too merciful in a cruel world like this, and that accepting his help to save the Eldians would be a waste of time. Optimus demands to know what he is talking about, but Kruger coughs up blood in response. Optimus then sees Grisha running to Kruger, his arms still bound behind his back. Kruger ignores the concerned looks and cuts his binds, and Optimus sees the lack of fingers on Grisha and is mortified.

Kruger, still wanting Optimus as an ally, explains his story. All of it. He's laying his sins to bear while also explaining the situation. And while Optimus is just getting a dump of information without him having time to properly process it, Grisha is grappling with the fact that Kruger is ordering him to carry out his mission and steal the Founding Titan with his power. Grisha doesn’t want to, and Optimus is retort king to give Grisha a choice, but Kruger reminds Optimus of the situation and reminds Grisha of the people that he had lost. Grisha must take on the mantle so their sacrifices are not in vain. Optimus proclaims this is just nationalism; Kruger proclaims it is a fight for freedom.

This does take a while, but it is something that Grisha ultimately accepts, still motivated by Kruger’s words. Optimus knows for a fact that Grisha is going to be in over his head and inexperienced out of his mind, and tells Kruger that he will be guiding Grisha towards a path of peace. Kruger proclaims that Optimus has no ability to dictate that. Optimus sees the ritual, and is now left with Grisha as the new titan shifter.

Optimus takes Grisha to the walls for his own safety. Grisha firsts asks to find Dina in Titan form so that she’s put out of her misery. Optimus and Grisha do go searching in the fight, but they do find her, and Optimus puts Dina out of her misery with Grisha’s pleading, saying he didn’t want her to suffer a life like this, and he didn’t want to burden her with the power of the titans.

However, the two do need a plan to get into the walls, since the Walls have no memory of the outside world and it would cause panic if they saw Optimus. Grisha decides to fake amnesia, and say that Optimus saved him from titans. Optimus would be able to provide the cover story for them both, and the walls would be more trusting to Optimus if they hear he saved a human from a Titan threat. They arrive at the walls, and there is much more visible and audible panic and surprise coming from the Survey Corps and everyone else.

-A few notes:

-Grisha is under much more scrutiny, since Keith isn’t able to cover up Grisha being outside the walls. The people from the inner city are monitoring him, specifically Uri, but can’t reach him because Optimus is guarding him and keeping him safe.

-After a public trial and some major convincing from Keith and rookie Erwin about the advantages of a powerful titan on their side, Optimus and Grisha are placed under the Survey Corps watch. Grisha ends up becoming a medic for that branch in the military.

-Keith can’t help but feel hopeful at the prospect of a Titan that protects humanity. It’s ironic, but he believes they can make real change. Meanwhile, a rookie Erwin sees Optimus and realizes that his father’s theory is holding more ground and support.

-Fun fact: Hanji doesn’t like Optimus, at least not yet. Hanji has stated that they used to hate titans before kicking the head of a dead one and finding it to be light and hollow, but that doesn’t happen yet, so they look at Optimus with contempt for the time being.

-Mike isn’t buying Grisha’s amnesia story.

-Grisha’s entrance into the walls, does bring the disease like in the original story, but this time, him curing the disease is where he first met Carla. Not at the bar that he and Keith were at. Their relationship develops differently as a result.

-Optimus questions how Grisha intends to find the royal family and implores him to try and find a path to peace through cooperation.

(The thing is with this story, it can take a lot of different turns. Kruger might’ve been killed by Optimus. Optimus could have arrived too late. Etc. But this would be an interesting timeline to tackle. Optimus and Grisha working together, Hanji not liking Optimus, Grisha having a much more difficult time finding the royal family, Dina not existing, etc. We’ll see where this one goes.)

“I’d like to interrogate this one a bit further”

Yeah ok Kruger…
