sorry i went off on a little rant in the caption but this edit was really just the result of a conversation i had with my own mother. i was talking to her about a few anxieties i’ve been having about the future and just my life in general when i jokingly replied to something she said with “well what’s so special about me” i don’t think i’ll ever forget what my mom said back to me, it was so simple but it made me actually bawl my eyes out 😭😭 she told me that the fact i even existed was enough for her 🥲 i see so much of myself and my mom in eren and carla, they’re such a sensitive topic to me—mostly because of how much their relationship mirrors my own relationship with my mother. i’ve always been an impulsive, hot headed child, and i can’t imagine how much of a struggle it was for my mom to deal with me, especially while everything around us was, in full honesty just falling apart 😭 i see a lot of myself in eren, and i think this ties perfectly into the fact that for a very long time my parents saw me through an “angry daughter” lens, even so my mom has never stopped loving me, and even if she doesn’t always understand me, she constantly looks out for me, although it can get slightly overbearing at times, especially with me being someone who craves autonomy in a very intense way. i can’t even begin to explain how many times i’ve clashed with my mother because of my own ambitions and desires and her concerns about me 😭 we might not see eye to eye but she’s always been there for me when no one else has, she’s given me the strength to keep moving forward even when i saw no point in doing so. i’m so extremely grateful for my mother and i really wish my younger self wasn’t so harsh on her. she’s been through so much and i love her more than words can describe sighh 🥲🥲 i love you ma, you’ll forever be the carla to my eren .𖥔 ݁ ˖ 🏷️ tags #eren #erenjaeger #erenyeager #AttackOnTitan #aot •─────⋅☾⋅─────• art creds: novalise1 cc: mine panning: sweetlydevoted •─────⋅☾⋅─────• mentions: @Danii✰ (Mikasa’s version🧣) @vienna @🐚⚔️🇲🇽 @maria @ocea 🧣🕊 @kay ⏾ - @erenkqsa_
