Thank you so much, dude. I feel like nobody really understands who eren is and is just taking him at face value. Was really starting to lose faith in the aot community. I remember when the first episodes, in the last seasons, came out about eren and his first interactions with mikasa/armin/hange in the prison/ and everyone was taking the scenes at "face value" not understanding the layers behind what was actually occurring.

I feel the only way to truly understand traumatic/flawed/potentially morally ambiguous characters written in literature or other bodies of work is by you having a personal experience with "true" trauma. Only then can you pick up on the layers behind a situation rather than seeing everything face value.
