Been thinking about this..

Imagine hiking with your friend. Just one friend. You’re in the woods, walking, laughing, on your way to the campsite, when you didn’t notice that you accidentally walked into somekind of portal to the AOT verse. You didn’t notice it at first, but then you noticed the trees were taller and the whole environment seemed to have shifted. You tell your friend and he/she noticed it too. Both of you look back to maybe go back a few steps. Maybe you accidentally went off track without noticing. But as soon as you turn back, there’s a titan suddenly running towards you. It didn’t register at first. It seemed surreal. But as it got closer, it finally clicked and both of you sprinted like you never did before.

Thoughts ran through your heads. (To sum it all up, basically it’s “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.”) But you didn’t stop running because it’s run or be eaten. Unfortunately one of you stumbled and fall on the ground. Of course the other have to stop and help the other. But the titan was getting closer and closer, and at that point, you just accepted what is to come because it’s not like you could do anything. (But really at the back of your mind, you still think it isn’t real.)

The titan was about to pound on both of you when the Survey Corps suddenly came and slayed the titan. You and your friend were both in shock that when they approached you, you couldn’t move or say anything.

What do you do next?

I think this would be an interesting thread. I’d like to know what you guys think. Maybe in the comments, maybe in the reblogs. Write a fanfic if you will, and please tag me because I would love to read it.

Here’s my version, my friend, (who’s gay but his pronouns are he/him), he would come up with some kind of tragic back story for us. Who we are, why are we outside the safe zone, etc. Then I would try to convince them to let us join the Survey Corps. Haha!

I find it funny because I can imagine us training or maybe doing chores, then suddenly breaking into songs because we love music, and we love musicals. Haha! Also, we would probably debate on whether if we should change what’s going to happen because we obviously know, but at the same time we also don’t want to mess up the timeline.

I wanna know what you guy’s versions are.

• If Bertolt were to find you having a panic attack, the poor boy would be absolutely terrified and not know what to do
• All he knows is that he wants you to stop crying
• At first he’ll freeze and watch you for a moment, seeing if you’re hurt or in danger. Then he’ll approach you slowly
• When you barely take any notice of him, his worry increases and he pulls you onto his lap, long arms pulling you against his chest
• He generally tries to do what he’s seen other people do. Stroking your hair and shushing you quietly, trying to get the tears to stop
• He doesn’t really know what to say and he probably gets very tongue tied. He probably gets even more sweaty as well, jut because he’s worried
• If it’s right before/after an expedition, he knows there’s nothing to be said anyway and will probably just remind you of where you are and that you’re safe with him 
• When he realises he’s just gotta let you cry it out, he’ll settle for rubbing your back, feeling pretty helpless 
• Once you’ve stopped crying and can talk, he actually gives some really good advice
• If you’re anxious about something to do with titans or the colossal/armoured titan, he feels extremely guilty and gets quite firm about it
• “Hey, look at me. I promise they’ll never hurt you, do you hear me? And next time you see them, I’ll be there.”
• You find he becomes more protective over you once he knows about your anxiety, standing in the background or having a reassuring hand on your shoulder
• He just cares so deeply about you that he wants to make sure this never happens again

This is a compilation of the questions fans asked Isayama about Bertolt from the Q&A and autograph signing in Oita that occurred on March 3rd, 2018.

Update:

Isayama on Bertolt Appearing in the Manga

Q:I wished that I could see Bertolt’s adult appearance after the 4 years time skip T___T
A: But I don’t think a character would die just like that. They might have died in the story, somehow…because they will still often make an appearance.

Isayama on Chapter 84:          

Q: Hmm, I wonder…but what were the 104th thinking at that time?

A: Well, they were like “Oh…” Whether Armin can be revived or not. Although Bertolt was confused and asked for help, they wished that he would just stop.

Isayama on Bertolt and Erwin:

Quote from Isayama: “I feel it is quite difficult to retrospect about Erwin (as a character/individual). I feel that he is already completed. As for Bertolt, not yet, I still have not finished (drawing him)…”

Isayama on why Bertolt was chosen as the Colossal Titan:

General Summary: The reason Bertolt was chosen as the Colossal Titan wielder is because of his exceptionally high capabilities.

Translator’s Note: The rest of the tweet in the source is the user’s reaction towards Isayama’s answer, which will remain untranslated to respect their privacy.

Quote from Isayama: “For (him) to be entrusted with the most important thing, there is something hidden inside of him—well, I think he could do anything. He will grow mentally later.

Isayama on Bertolt’s family environment:

Bakku (Isayama’s editor): The official answer is “don’t expect any of it”
Isayama: Our real feeling about it is that we never really think about it.
Bakku: Then we can make that as the official answer.
Isayama: No, but maybe…I’ll make them now. I feel he did it for the sake of his father after all.

Isayama on Bertolt’s Family:

“Because it is quite difficult to create the setting for Bertolt’s parents, that’s why somehow they are already dead. That’s what happened.”
