I like that this chapter proved that Ymir was neither the godlike leader modern Eldians expected her to be, nor the monster of Marleyan history. She was just a hapless woman who grew up a slave and never thought that she could have a choice in her life. I expected the truth would be different from both Eldian and Marlayan propaganda, though it's rather depressing that it boils down to ancient Eldians are jerks too. All this time her descendants were ordering her around just like OG Fritz and finally Eren comes in as the first person who wants to treat her as an actual human being. No wonder she starts crying.

Since the rumbling starts, and the one thing Eren was pushing her to do was make her own choice, does that mean she's starting the rumbling out of her own free will? And if so, what does she want?

She doesn't seem particularly thrilled by her own children (considering that she wasn't asked whether or not she wanted to have them, I'm not surprised) so I doubt she has a great affection for saving the country her oppressor built up to rule the world. I could see her just wanting the fighting to stop though.
