I just realized that the teaser sketch for the final chapter
did find its way in, just not at the end, and not in the initially shown form.

In whole context, he's very clear on what his motivations are up to the point he enters the Paths with Zeke. I posted him describing at contact shot range what his motivations are. These had to have been his genuine motivations since he wouldn't have entered the Paths from contact with Historia, and thus would have only had the future vision without the exposure to the Founder's omniscience. Additionally, the passion he had in pursuing that goal up to the start of the Rumbling wouldn't have been able to manifest otherwise without Ymir just
completely hijacking him.
After the contact with Zeke is when he devolves into the "keep moving forward along your path" mentality that Reiner and Bertholdt came to peace with, as opposed to the "keep moving forward until all my enemies are destroyed" mentality he had prior to.

you keep going "incel" this and "simp" that and it just doesn't make any sense as a rational criticism
eren didn't even say that, he said that he loved Mikasa and wanted her to live a long life, and he also wanted his friends to live long lives
Women can't just decide to have children because they want them?
That aside, Historia
was written up more even after it was revealed she was pregnant, in chapter 130. The survival and freedom of her and her descendants are part of Eren's initial stated motivation for committing omnicide.
Thematically, at any rate, her having a child the way she does is presumably in contrast to the timeline where she inherits the Beast Titan and has to be eaten by said child.
