Reminder That Jean Is Canonically Described As Handsome In An Official Q&a

Reminder that Jean is canonically described as handsome in an official q&a

Links or it didn’t happen? XD

I did some cursory googling to see if I could uncover what it was you’re referring to, and so far nothing has popped up; I’d appreciate a link if anyone has one! I really wish there was a database of Attack on Titan interviews and Q&A’s that was searchable. :( The closest thing we have right now is the Wiki, which I feel should reference this Q&A, but at the moment it only says the following of Jean’s appearance:

“Jean is a young man with spiky, light-brown hair shaved into an undercut style, with the shaved portion being black. He has small, intense light-brown eyes, and is said to have the same vicious look in them as Eren does. Jean is of average height and muscular build, and has a scowl similar to Eren’s but is said to have a long face (a “horse face”).[8] He is often seen wearing the typical uniform of the Survey Corps worn with an olive gray button-up shirt. After overthrowing the government, his hair appears slightly longer than before.” (From the Jean Kirstein Attack on Titan Wiki page; emphasis is my own)

There’s also no reference to Jean’s potential attractiveness in the trivia section of his Wiki page. I even control-F searched for “handsome” and “attractive”–no dice. My googling (which, again, was not exhaustive) was similarly ineffective. I mostly came up with fans discussing Jean’s appearance; I did, however, find this summary of an interview where apparently Isayama confirms that Jean has a “horse face”.

It’s not exactly a secret Jean is my favorite! xD He’s a great character: his struggles with maintaining his personal ethics in the midst of a war are compelling, his empathy for his comrades and even complete strangers is endearing, and I admire his commitment to honesty and speaking his mind (to power!), even if it is a “bad habit” which gets him into trouble. I like his weaknesses too: his snarky argumentative side, his inner turmoil about his self-preservation instincts, his stubbornness. He feels like a real person, one whom I can respect quite a bit. And while I’m waxing lyrical about how much I adore Jean as a character, I might as well come out and say that I also love that he’s not (to my mind) traditionally attractive.

Now, I personally find Jean handsome, but I didn’t always. It was not an immediate attraction–to his personality or his face. I had to warm up to him. But in general I (again, personally) do tend to find people with interesting and expressive faces more intriguing than people who might be considered “beautiful” or “handsome” in a more culturally standardized way, but who are also less expressive. My feelings aside, however, I don’t think Jean is supposed to tick most people’s boxes of an attractive man. All references to his appearance within the canon emphasize his glare and his long face–these are the things people notice about Jean.

Armin, for instance, draws attention to Jean’s villainous appearance twice. 

Chapter 31.

Chapter 51.

While we might dismiss Eren’s comment about Jean’s horse face as a rival’s grousing, Hitch later offers the same assessment of Jean’s appearance, albeit during a tense moment.

Chapter 59.

I personally think it’s important that Jean is plain and his design does, in fact, code him as a “bad guy.” He’s almost always scowling, he has smaller eyes, and a long face: like Armin, we’re supposed to read him as a villain, but then be surprised when he reveals himself to be much more complex and even kinder than his outward appearance and initial actions would suggest. In fact, his appearance is remarkably similar to Ymir and even Hitch (as I was actually talking about with a friend just the other day; although Hitch is pretty, her smirk and facial design align her with Ymir and Jean, I think), both of whom–like Jean–profess to be all about number one before revealing that they actually care quite a bit about others, in their own unique ways. I think Jean fits into a larger theme of Attack on Titan that appearances can be deceiving, and that him being conventionally attractive would undermine that.

I will, however, rethink my interpretation if I find a link to this Q&A!

Thanks for the note, anon! Sorry I’m so contrary ^^’

%% jean kirstein bf hcs !!

pt 2

contains: sfw and nsfw, implied fem!reader (no y/n), established relationship, soft jean teehee, jean’s horse cawk, nothing too graphic tbh

— who knew a fucking stallion will be the one who’s going to bring me back from the dead .

sfw

omg omg he’s soo tall right

definitely puts his arms around your shoulder, and kisses u on your temple or forehead too

the sweetest !! i feel like he would be so so attentive to u

oooh u did a double take at the dress u guys walked passed by earlier in the mall? woah it’s suddenly in ur bed the next day !! :OO

he’s a nice cook ! can cook but the best, his expertise are mostly breakfast foods but he can cook you lunch and dinner as long as he has a recipe

oh he’d be absolutely smitten !!!! i luv big scary men being total sweethearts to their s/o

if ur trying some shoes, he’d be the one to do all of the work ! he’d kneel down, take off your shoes, puts on what you chose on you, will be the who’s going to take it off too, then will tie or buckle your shoes up for you

or or or, he’d be out alone and he passes by this little store filled with trinkets and stuff. safe to say, he walked out of the store with a silly little keychain he knew you’d like

^^ one of his love language is acts of service

he loves spending time with you. specially the moments where you two just chill and share some occasional kisses here and there

his favorite thing to do is have you lay on top of him while he’s laying down and make you talk about your day !! he’d play with your hair and caress your nape and back while you do so :((

he’s obviously attractive, but he doesn’t know how much

there’s so many simple things that he makes attractive

his attentiveness. you’d be in the grocery then he’d suddenly disappear for a while, only for him to come back with arms full of chips and snacks. “these are your favorites, right?” he said while dumping them in the cart, not even waiting for your answer.

oddly specific but the way he leans on every door way. you know the thing where people place their hands on top of a doorway? that, but he subconsciously does it everywhere. omg imagine he fetches you from your house for a date and the moment you open your door, boom! there’s jean, towering you with a smile on his face.

he knows how to slow dance, like the ones in the movies where the main characters would suddenly dance in their living room, to which, he did with you!

slow dancing in the living room with jean :(

if you’re still in school and he sees you struggling with a subject or school work, he’d help you as soon as he could, specially if it’s something he already learned before. but! if that’s not the case, he’d take his time to learn what you’re having problems with and try to come up with an explanation to make you understand better

he’s so lame (affectionate)

nsfw

oh boy

he’s not the stallion for nothing

easily one of the biggest cock in the aot verse

usually, i’d be realistic when it comes to sizes, but jean is at 7-8 inches.

hhhhhhgggh, king of dick prints. he’s naturally big even when soft, about 5 to 5.5 maybe. < he’s a grower

he’s such a big man, his proportions are perfect, of course he needs a big fucking cock to go along with it

he keeps his happy trail no matter what happens. he knows it’s attractive and knows that you love seeing it on him

^^ up to you whether you want him to shave or trim, he’s fine with anything as long as he keeps his happy trail

wide athletic shoulders that he puts your legs at while he’s eating you out our splitting you open with his cock

this man’s proportions are actually making me insane i don’t know how to put my thoughts into words anymore

his hands are big, but not huge or ginormous. it’s pretty and rough looking at the same time. his fingers are longer than most men’s but are thick enough like the ones most are familiar with when thinking about a man’s hand.

his nape is sensitive, simple touches like brushing his hair back will make him shiver. hickeys also show more easily on his neck, just suck on it lightly and there’s already a blooming red mark left in its wake.

oh my god, touch his torso or the bottom of his stomach (ehem, close or at his happy trail) and he’s gone. it’s starting to become an actual problem because there would be completely innocent moments where you touch those places because you need to get pass by him and he’d just suddenly pop a boner on the spot.

*taps mic* soft dom

he absolutely loves praising you, it’s an unconscious thing he does

you’d be on your knees, sucking in his cock on your mouth as much as you could, and he’d groan while keeping your hair out of your face using a hand while the other caresses your cheek, wiping away the tears that lay there.

^^ “there we go, knew you could do it.”, “fuckin’ natural at it.”, “think you could take me a little deeper? uh huh? yeah that’s my good girl.”

im in shambles

he’s SOOOOO good with his fingers my GOD.

he knows what it takes to make you cum with his fingers, he has an actual technique it’s crazyyy. doesn’t prioritize in making it fast or hard or whatever, whether you like it like that or slow, he will follow his own lead on what he thinks will make you feel spineless.

knows the fingers inside you, palm on your clit thing. has made you squirt using it on multiple occasions

while he adores missionary because he loves seeing your face and folding you in half with your legs beside your ears, doing it doggy will always make him carnal

he has a thing for your backkk. he’d grab the one side of your shoulder while he’s hitting it from the back, sometimes he’d bruise your hips with his grip instead

will slap your ass. not really in a sub/dom dynamic. he just likes the way he sees his handprint on your ass while you’re writhing beneath him

stroke game is unmatched !!!!!!!!!

he doesn’t rely on his size alone, this bitch is actually prepared and knows his shit y'all

even if he doesn’t or can’t push all of him in, he’d work with what he’s able to put inside you and god does he do it well

during missionary, expect him to put a pillow under your hips despite his size and knowledge. he want to make you feel the best at any given time

while he doesn’t mind if you’re a loud moaner or what, he LOVES hearing you whine.

if you’re a whiner, boy is it a good time to be ALIVEEEEEE

he founds it so cute and hot <3

New obsession

⌗︙・aot boys as perverts - jean, armin, connie ⸜⸜・

requested by @unholybabyface

jean

he watches as you leave the room, closing the door behind you. you said you were going to shower, and as much as he would like to go with you, he wants to use the time for his advantage. his cock jumps when he hears the shower running, showing him that he can do whatever he wants. he lays down on your bed, sniffing your pillow. everything smells like you and he can't get enough. suddenly he finds himself rutting against the bed. his cock leaks more with every thrust and he can't help but to whine. he notices a pair of leggings on the other side of the bed - the leggins that cup your ass perfectly. he places them in between his legs, humping them like a dog in heat. he can feel himself cumming, the orgasm so big that it makes him shake. he's a bit embarrassed for cumming inside of his pants like a boy, but he knows it was worth it.

armin

connie

his eyes watch your every move as he crouches behind the dumpster. he notices that you're wearing your new skirt and how short it seems to be. he wanted to give your house a visit but when his phone beeped, that you were already going home, he decided to watch you instead. armin is glad that be brought with camera with him, the sun is kissing your skin perfectly and he gets the chance to take perfect photos. he already has some at home. he started with just printing the photos you had online but soon realized that it's more exciting to take them himself. and he gets to take pictures of your whole body too. he prints each picture few times because he loves cumming on them. but he knows that soon it's going to be your face where he's gonna cum.

"you look so good. look at you!" he says with a large smile, checking you from every angle. connie has always been your best friend and you are grateful for how affectionate he is. he always brings you snacks and he isn't afraid to go miles if it means you get what you want. but sometimes he gets annoyed by your short skirts. and the one you are wearing today makes him especially frustrated.

"i have to get some glasses. wait." you say as you turn around to look for the glasses. connie notices how you skirt rides up. he should feel embarrassed but he can't stop himself from grabbing his phone. he quickly opens his camera to take few pictures. he makes him airpods fall on purpose so he can get a better angle. he snaps few pictures from every angle and can't help but to melt at how your ass looks perfect in every single one. he can't wait until he can open his camera roll and fantasize about you while his hand is wrapped around his cock.

⌗︙・aot boys | clothing they find attractive ⸜⸜・

eren - short skirt

eren adores short skirts because it gives him an easy access when he wants to fuck you. he also thinks you love fucking adore. he can't help to squeeze the fat of your ass that the clothing shows. it's so tiny that your whole ass is out but it's even better. he can easily bed you over and do anything he wants with you. but don't get mad when he stains your favorite skirt with cum.

armin - crotcheted top

armin loves when he can wear crotcheted clothes but he also loves when you wear crotcheted things. it's just the way the stitches are too far from each other and he can see your whole boobs. sometimes you move a bit too much and your nipple suddenly shows through the stitches. he's a pervert in that way, you're always so happy that you made the top look perfect and he might not ruin it by poking his fingers to enlarge the stitches.

reiner - oversized t-shirt

there's nothing more sexy in reiner's eyes than you wearing his oversized t-shirt. you just look so tiny in his large clothes and he loves it. he would give you his whole wardrobe is he could. don't try to tease him by wearing no panties underneath because this boy is gonna lose his mind. similar to eren, it gives him easy access his favorite place in between your thighs.

jean - dresses with flower design

this might be a bit too specific and jean can't explain why he loves it so much but whenever you wear cute tiny dress with flowers, he goes wild. he thinks flowers look so pretty on his favorite flower baby. he thinks of you as a fragile flower and he thinks these dresses make you look so innocent. he wants nothing more to fuck your face and ruin your makeup while you wear a pretty flower dress.

connie - anything fashion nova

im sorry but i see him as a guy who buys his girl fashion nova outfits every other week. are they too revealing? yes. does he love it? yes. something you have to beg him to let you wear something neutral rather than those neon clothes. he thinks it makes you look the most sexiest you can be (expect when you're naked).
