Okay yeah I'm just gonna spend today riding on other people's more eloquent coat-tails, but this too!
Armin CAN fight, but it's very firmly established in canon that he sucks at it. When I try to shoehorn him into fightan-type situations it just... doesn't feel right or mesh well. He's so thoroughly outclassed by both his surroundings and peers that I have a hard time finding a place for him in the current plot. He usually ends up being pushed to the side. It doesn't help that I'm kinda shy, so when big plot events like the log when the explosions started happening, I... didn't have any threads or tags. I'm still kicking myself for not doing better on that one, but you can see what I mean. That was also like, right when all my CR started to vanish, so I couldn't count on that to help me.
BASICALLY WHAT I'M SAYING IS yeah Hina has the right idea. There are a lot of big, powerhouse type characters on the Turtle, but there are also weaklings like Armin that aren't particularly remarkable, and I'm kinda lost on a way to contribute. I'm trying to fix it, like right now on the CR meme, but if I can be helped somehow I'd also appreciate it.
