If she made good tea, Levi would marry her. The Beast/Zeke strictly drinks coffee.

More seriously, you bring up an interesting point: there is "Magic Stuff" that confers abilities. We do not know how it is made or where it comes from. The Reisses seemed to have a collection of it, and they did not just "dole it out." Fine. If the supplies are limited as in no one can create more, you can see why, say, The Beast/Zeke does not or is not allowed to simply inject himself with all of the abilities. If that is the case, he probably would not "upgrade" Ymir unless he--and probably Whomever controls Homeland--deams her worth it. As much as I like Ymir, I doubt that is happening. I think it more likely they would want to "turn" Eren--as unlikely as THAT is!

On that point, to the suspicion that someone could just do a spinal tap on a Shifter, collect the CSF--"Magic Stuff"--and then inject it in someone, I would have to ask why the Reisses set up a "devouring chamber" where the aging "Head/King" has to be chained up to be devoured by the Next-in-Line. Why not just do a nice lumbar puncture, collect some CSF, then use it to pass on the ability? Then let the aging "Head/King" retire to molest the Hired Staff and all of that? Clearly, that either does not work or the author has not figured out that issue. I doubt he has not. So, for some reason, you can "inject" Titanhood into someone, but for Shifter to pass. . . you have to eat someone?

Not trying to be hypercritical. Just trying to figure it out.

And avoid work.
