Funny, just now, on ANOTHER FORUM [Boo. Hiss.--Ed.] some anti-science assclown blathered about how "Modern Physics"--he used "scare quotes" because they like make an argument!--is WRONG and everything comes from Old Physics, blah. . . blah. . . Bowl of Porridge.

I posted a gif of the Young Two Slit Experiment. He may not "wike" Quantum Mechanics, but he cannot pretend the data does not exist.

So many great theories get crushed by simple facts! You could argue that the Homelanders themselves are aristocratic putzes who look down on the Normal Titans and City Peoples and all of that. I suppse that would explain a view of Ymir where she is "Beyond Her Station! What? What?"

Then we would have to explain Annie. . ..

I really hate Ymir in part because I wish she just didn't even exist in the storyline cause everything else would make sense but who the hell is she?



''I do think that it's kind of a dick move (one of many) on Isayama's part to basically hype up Ymir in a big way, enough to make us curious what the hell she's even about (YMIRSAMA?! Really? We're supposed to wait, what? 10 years before we know the context of that mystery?) and then abruptly leave anyone curious to learn more about her hanging basically. ''

Are you sure you are not a Game of Thrones fan? Methinks you would not like Higurashi--the veritable standard of Destroy All That You Love of series.

Ymir serves a very important purpose, aside from protecting Crista's virtue from the sticky hands of Jean in their school, she stands as the example of what happens when a Normal Titan actually eats a Shifter. Now, that should have happened to Eren but, I guess, since acute drops in perfusion presure secondary to having major arteries violated is something that "Happens to Other People," Eren was able to have a "moment" and survive. She is a character outside of the conflicts in that she had lost her point of living--other than simple survival. Family? Long gone. She does not seem to be part of the Homeland contingent. So she decided to protect someone she loved.

Ymir is awesome!

She also has freckes!
