Jean Kirschtein: Character Development throughout Shingeki no Kyojin — Happy birthday, Jean! (07.04) (part 1) (part 2 here)

Despite how horrid the leaks sound and what we all may think about the ending, we should still thank Isayama for a wild ride and for the fact this man cemented himself as one great mangaka and caused a world wide fandom we all love and cherish.

Do NOT threaten him or his staff. Do NOT beg for a different ending and please for gods sake don’t fight for ships. Accept his vision as it is and respectfully critic his work.

Thank you, Hajime Isayama!

He is unreal istg

oh my GOSH

Eren, Armin, and Levi's s/o finding out they asked them out for a dare

You guys seem to enjoy pure angst so here's some more angsty stuff! This is in a modern college au! If you want a part 2 just comment <3

Eren:

You laughed as you sat next to Eren on the bleachers of the football field. His arm was around you as he was telling you a funny story about a random fight he and Jean had. "So then I just called him a mama's boy and he just turned red and told me to screw off." Your cheeks were hurting from smiling and laughing with your boyfriend as he told you all kinds of funny stories he had. As the two of you were chatting, his two best friends Armin and Mikasa waved to you both as they walked up to the two of you. All of a sudden, your cell phone rang and you realized that it was an important call you had to pick up. You pecked Eren on the cheek and he let you go knowing the call was important. You walked over to a secluded area where it was quiet so you could talk on the phone. The call took only about 15 minutes of your time so you smiled as you hung up knowing you'd get to spend some more time with your boyfriend before the football game starts. As you walked up the stairs to the bleachers you overheard a weird conversation Eren was having with Armin and Mikasa. "You got to tell them eventually Eren.." Armin said. Your boyfriend looked down at his feet and signed in clear disappointment. "I know Armin. I just don't know how to tell them.." You were so confused at what they were even talking about. Were they talking about you? You listened more carefully. "How about hey (Y/n), the only reason I first asked you out was because someone dared me to?" Mikasa exclaimed. Your heart clenched at what you just heard. You put your hand over your heart as the tears threatened to fall out of your eyes. The trio looked up to see you and Eren's face automatically went as pale as a ghost. "Baby, wait..." You ran by the sight of him and didn't even turn back when you heard him calling your name. Eren didn't know what to do so he just stood in the same spot. Frozen in terror. He looked at Armin and Mikasa as they just nodded their head to him. Eren understood as he ran after you. His worst nightmare has come true.

Armin:

You and Armin were having a study date in the library as you prepared for your next exams. You've been struggling with some of the material lately so you've been grateful that you had someone like Armin to help you. To be honest, you never would of thought to be dating someone like Armin who was intelligent and out of your league. He was someone you just greatly admired from afar. To be dating him was a treasure. He came up to you at a random frat party and the two of you hit it off right away on the first date. That wasn't the full truth though. He didn't include the part where his friend Jean dared him to ask someone out because all of his friends made fun of him for being the only one who hasn't dated anyone. Armin's wanted to tell you multiple times but his fear of you leaving him has always come back in his mind. So he kept quiet about it. Armin wanted to tell you. But he just wasn't sure how to go about it. "Armin, is anything wrong? You've been staring at the same page for the past few minutes." Armin broke out of the trance as he jerked up to look at you. Armin then decided that day that he needed to come clean to you. "Yeah, I'm okay. But after we're done we need to talk. Is that alright with you?" You felt the nerves start to crawl through your body as you nodded your head. As you both finished studying, you walked out of the library back to the dorms. As Armin dropped you off back to your dorm room he chose to finally face his fears. "(Y/n), there's something I need to tell you. I haven't been completely honest with you." You looked puzzled at your boyfriend's words before he let out a deep breath fearing the worst. "I only asked you out the night we met because Jean dared me to." Armin looked down ashamed before his eyes went on you to see your face full of heartbreak. "I swear after the first date we had I fell in love with you! I don't even know why I took the dare!" You shook off Armin's grasp on you before saying, "Was this all just a sick joke to you? After everything we've been through you lied to me all this time?" Armin shook his head before a couple of tears welled up in his eyes. "No (Y/n)! It was all never a lie! Please..." You ignored your boyfriend before stomping into your dorm room and slamming the door shut. The tears Armin was attempting to hold in fell down. He hated himself more than anything right now.

Levi:

Levi never thought that he would have been swooned by you from the first date. In his attempt to keep Hanji from annoying him further he took a dare from them to ask the next person that walked through the door out. He only took it with a promise that Hanji would stop talking about their disgusting lab experiments with him for a whole month. It's been a whole year since that experience and he never told you anything about the dare despite telling himself that he would tell you the truth. Erwin would ask him about it from time to time but when Levi gave him a short response that he didn't he knew that his friend was just terrified to tell you. The secret that he kept from you didn't last any longer when his friends dragged him to a bar with you and Hanji got drunk and slipped the truth. Levi's eyes widened a bit not only with shock but with a bit of anger from Hanji slipping what he wanted to tell you. But he knew that you had to find out eventually. Just not like this. "(Y/n). Shit. I wanted to tell you." You gave the man a scoff as you walked out of the bar without a care in the world. You felt betrayed by the man you loved. As you speed walked outside Levi walked after you since his speed was as fast as a stallion. "(Y/n), it was just a dare. I never even cared about it afterwards. I swear on my life I was never faking all of this." Your vision became blurry from the tears before you said, "What's there to say Levi? You lied to me this whole time. I can't believe I actually thought this was love at first sight. You betrayed me and hurt me. How do I even know this wasn't all just a joke for your sick dare?" Levi calmly grabbed your shoulder feeling a bit guilty after you flinched. "I wouldn't have been dating you this long if it was for the damn dare (Y/n). I never even cared about it anymore after we went out on a date. Hanji kept annoying my ass afterwards you can ask them." You didn't even know how to respond as you silently walked away. "Just... get out of my sight. Cold hearted bastard." Levi let you go off into the night knowing what he's done. His face remained the same but his heart became shattered and frozen.

Jean, Connie, and Sasha with an s/o that has acne

Modern Au

Jean:

Jean was one of the sweetest boys you ever met and he always let you know how much he loved and appreciated you. While his loving words would always make you flustered, that still didn't get rid of your own insecurities. You've had back acne ever since you were a young teen and no matter what products you used, they wouldn't go away. They were super noticable and you felt that when people looked at you they only saw your acne. You came back from finishing your afternoon college classes to only look at yourself in the bathroom mirror and cry. Jean was out catching up with some friends but you thought he was going to be out almost the rest of the day. What you didn't expect was for Jean to knock on the door cause he was home early. "(Y/n)? Can I come in?" You wiped your tears as you opened the door to see your boyfriend with a concerned look. He hugged you knowing that you were upset and laid you both down on your shared bed. "Baby, what's wrong? I heard you crying in there and I wanted to make sure you were okay." You were afraid to tell Jean thinking that your worry was something so dumb. "It's nothing important, don't worry about it Jean." Jean furrowed his eyebrows and said "If you were crying about it, then it must be something important. It's not dumb to cry over something that's upsetting you. I won't judge you for anything you're sad over." Jean's comforting words made it a bit better so you just decided to tell him what was up. "It's just, I have really bad acne on my face and it just makes me look ugly. I wish I could be beautiful like all those models I see on Instagram with flawless skin." Jean made eye contact with you as he looked at you serious. "Now, I'm going to stop you right there. You? Not beautiful? Give me a break." He huffed as he continued. "You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever known in my life. Why do you think I dated you? You're beautiful, flaws and all. Who cares if you have acne? It's a natural thing and even the most perfect looking people have flaws." Your eyes widened at his words. "(Y/n), I love you and if I have to let you know how beautiful you are every single day, you bet I'll do it." You teared up at how sweet your boyfriend was. You're so grateful for him in your life. You kissed Jean on the lips feeling the tears run down your cheeks. "Thank you Jean." Jean and you cuddled the whole night only whispering sweet nothings in your ear.

Connie:

Connie was almost like your best friend. Sometimes it didn't seem like he was your boyfriend but you still loved the hell out of him. But that didn't help with your face that had pure flaws. The acne on your face made your mood go down at the worst times and you hated it. It was a Friday night and you and Connie would go out of the way to have a date night by watching movies or binge watching some of your favorite shows. While those dates always made you feel happy, you weren't feeling the best today due to your insecurities. While Connie was making his typical jokes, he noticed your change of behavior and how you weren't laughing or joking around with him. "Hey, is something bothering you?" Connie asked. You noticed your boyfriend paused the movie to talk to you. "Nothing much, just that the main female lead is so pretty and flawless. I'm so ugly compared to her.. Not a big deal though." You shrugged off what you said. Connie let out a gasp as he quickly pulled you in for a tight hug. "(Y/n)! Why would you say something like that?! You know you're gorgeous right?" You hugged your boyfriend back with a saddened expression. "It's just, my acne is awful and I've been breaking out." Connie looked at you with his golden eyes as he said, "So? Acne doesn't make you ugly (Y/n). You're a human just like everyone else. No one is perfect." Connie proceeded to get up from the couch to go and retrieve something from upstairs. When he got back, he held two facemasks for the two of you to use. "How about we use these babe? To make you feel better?" You smiled as you nodded. Connie always knew how to make you happy.

Sasha:

You and Sasha were getting ready to go out to a new restaurant that just opened not too far from your apartment. You spent the past 15 minutes getting dressed in a nice outfit to look beautiful enough for the night. Although your outfit was nice, your face wasn't that appealing to look at. Sasha was in kind of a rush so she rushed into the room so you both can leave. "Come on (Y/n)!! I really wanna try this new restaurant!! I heard their barbecue is to die for!!" Sasha drooled at the thought of the delicious food. "Okay, Sasha. Can you just give me a few more minutes to put some quick makeup on?" Sasha grabbed your hand to pull you out of the confined space. "(Y/n)! You look fine! Plus I'm starving so let's just go!" You aggressively pulled from her grasp and yelled, "NO!" Sasha was a bit surprised at your outburst but could catch the tears welling up in your eyes. "Sweetheart, what's wrong? You're clearly upset about something and I want to make you feel better." You held yourself tightly as you said, "I don't want to go out without wearing makeup. I just want to hide all the ugliness on my face." Sasha's mouth went wide as she said, "Ugly?! (Y/n), you're far from ugly." You laughed sarcastically. "If I wasn't ugly I wouldn't have all this acne on my face." "(Y/n), acne doesn't make you ugly. It's a natural thing to get. Heck, even I break out from time to time. It's a normal thing and even with your flaws you're still my gorgeous girl." You don't know how but Sasha's kind words made your heart flutter. You looked up at her with a surprised face as you questioned, "You really mean it?" Sasha laughed. "I mean every word sweetie." You ran up to your girlfriend and gave her the warmest hug in the world, grateful for her in your life. "Now, come on (Y/n). Let's eat, I made reservations."
