I particularly dislike Marlow/Hitch as a het romantic rship in aot because it& #39;s not only badly written/undemonstrated on Marlow& #39;s behalf, it& #39;s the same way on Hitch& #39;s side of things? It& #39;s like "Yes they have feelings for each other; I said so, believe me!" like ..............no

Hitch has WAY more demonstrated chemistry with Annie naturally but https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face"> obligatory heterosexuality

also compare: Bert has "feelings" for Annie, a person who responds to her closest comrades& #39; problems with shit like "Sorry, I wasn& #39;t listening"? When his close personal relationship with Reiner is right there? When those two are closer with each other than with anyone else?

Isayama be like: "This is just how heterosexuality works. You like someone, and there& #39;s no real reason or justification for it. You just pick a random person of the opposite gender to be attracted to. What do you mean this isn& #39;t how everyone experiences it"

Reiner "I& #39;m not gay even though I fabricated an entire personality to shoulder the weight of fulfilling social expectations placed on me, I& #39;m 100% genuinely interested in the girl that every other guy my age openly acknowledges is attractive" Braun
