Jean & Bertholdt - AU Smartpass Rain Story

[translation: @yusenki | editing: @leviskinnyjeans]

[source: x]

Raindrops fall from the sky and spin short tales. Today as well, there is a new tale made by the rain, about a small bond formed somewhere below the sky.

——

Large drops of rain flow down the mountain surface, forming a stream that runs down the gap between rocks.

“Damn it…this heavy rain must be because of your splendid sleeping pose this morning, Bertholdt.”

Below the rock that overhangs the middle of the cliff, at the high ground sheltered from the rain, two cadets hide themselves.

“Sorry…Jean.”

“Don’t take it seriously!”

“However…the range of vision is too bad.”

“I think it was the right decision to pause the marching drills in this kind of weather.”

At the back of the rocks, where the rain doesn’t reach, Bertholdt concentrates on resting his body while hugging his knees to chest.

“You have a point.”

Jean walks closer to his (Bertholdt’s) side and sits down. He teases Bertholdt.

“At first, I thought I teamed up with someone who was reserved and boring, but actually you’re an excellent individual. I’ll trust you.”

Even though it’s Jean’s style of praising someone, Bertholdt still can’t help but crack a troubled smile.

——

It seems like the rain is not getting weaker.

“Ah…hey Bertholdt, I heard that you want to join the MP? When living in the inner city, there will be no need to shiver in the rain in the middle of a mountain like this.”

Berthold quietly mutters in response to Jean, who couldn’t stand the silence and tried to crack a joke.

“Is it alright for me…to go to the inner city…”

“Huh?! You should be capable with your grade! Your grade is much higher than mine and yet you don’t have the confidence?!”

Shaking his head, Bertholdt hugs his knees closer to his chest.

“I actually don’t have my own will. The reason I aim for the MP is because…I’m swept away with the flow.”

“That’s how it should be.”

“There are also kind people like Marco as well though…” Jean sighs.

“It’s human nature to want to live in a good and safe place like the MP do. What is bad about that? On top of that, you have the talent, so puff out your chest!”

He’s trying to encourage me…as a comrade, acknowledging me…

——

After a brief moment, Bertholdt looks up and stands. He approaches the small waterfall that flows down from the upper rocks and sets his gaze down.

Am I…someone worth being trusted?

His mixed feelings are reflected in the puddle of water around his feet and they mix with the bubbles of mud and tree leaves. They swirl and flow down to a lower place.

He forces his words out with great effort.

“Sorry…Thanks, Jean.”

That gratitude is from his heart, and there is also an apology at the same time. However, Jean is not aware of the real intention behind the words.

“Huh? I didn’t say that you need to thank me. Aside from that, how is the weather?”

“Seems like we can go. The rain has started to ease off.”

“Let’s advance to the forest. The ground conditions on the cliff area have become delicate and it will make the anchor unstable.”

Bertholdt smiles at Jean’s composed analysis.

“As expected of Jean who has established a reputation in handling 3DMG.”

Nodding at each other, they pull out their 3DMG handles at the same time.

After a moment, the two boys shed their rain gear. They fly off toward the misty forest in the middle of never-ceasing rain.

Not the first time he’s been caught

meteorologist!jean who viciously bounces his legs and bites the end of his pens as he reads over his late night research and awaits any prognosis for today’s weather forecast.

he would be working in the usual allocated computer space that they had for staff to use, but there was something about the all glass conference room that looked over the main reporting studio that meteorologist!jean preferred.

and it’s not something he’s super proud of, but meteorologist!jean sometimes uses the alone space and time to get his cock out and languidly stroke it — for good measure! not because he was horny, but because there was just this humane twistedness to him that loved the glass view the conference space had over the reporting room — the possibility that someone could be watching, thrilling.

but then as meteorologist!jean turns his wheelie chair around towards the glass that looked over the reporter room itself, he catches you, the head reporter, potting around the space; as you aimlessly twirl and amuse yourself by checking your ass out in the camera’s monitor screen or how you rise on your tiptoes and perk it backwards to see if looks good in the pencil skirt you wore — or even how you cupped your breasts from over your shirt and pumped them upwards to make them look bigger for the monitor.

meteorologist!jean doesn't know if you were aware of his presence. not like you were doing anything bad — but you too were an early riser and usually came in at times you didn’t need to.

however, by just being able to watch you from the shadows of the top overlooking conference room bade him the space to be perverted, to stroke his cock now in thought of you.

but then meteorologist!jean has another thought — a thought that should be fleeting and of no expansion upon.

either way, he’s acting on it before he knows he should and within two minutes, the man is bursting into the reporter’s room at expense of your surprise.

“oh! jean! good morning!”

it takes meteorologist!jean five minutes and an insane amount of morning rizz, but it doesn't take him much to eventually have your back plastered against the reporter’s table and your black heels dangling besides his ears.

that pretty face of yours turns to posses a jelly like smile and rolled back eyes, those lips having spit drooling from the slack corners of your mouth. how you lavish within the slick thrusts that meteorologist!jean is pumping in and out your cunt, the sick squelch and hammering of the table — no mistake to what was going on.

and the thing is, meteorologist!jean knows that there well could be a few staff upstairs within the operating room. the sound and tech usually came in a lot earlier than the presenters themselves, but again, the human sickness of his voyeur tendencies didn’t care that someone may well be watching over them from the top — maybe, possibly, jerking off to the two of you having sex and meteorologist!jean finds out that he loves it.

meteorologist!jean finishes off inside of you, allowing his cum to sit beautifully within your warm insides, but his cock hiccups whilst its still spurting its seed, because he fantasises about how you'll go on air in an hour or two with his sick cum stirring within your stomach.

“morning, people!” yawns the pd as he walks into the room, shy three minutes that the both of you took to clean yourselves up.

the pd places his bag down, but then as he stands up, his face screws uncannily.

“god, i must still be asleep. smells like sex in’ere again.” he mutters.

meteorologist!jean's face tans over red as he tries to feign innocence. you on the other hand seem unbothered, so much so, that meteorologist!jean questions whether this has been your first time in this position.

Here’s Isayama’s interview about Jean :) (hope it’s readable!) 

It is, thank you very much. ^^

Isayama’s Interview on Jean Kirstein

From Gekkan Shingeki no Kyojin, Volume 4

[Translation: @yusenki​; Editing: @fuku-shuu]

In my own view, I created Jean and Armin as representatives of humanity. They are not bad people, but they are also not purely righteous people, either. Sometimes they have a sly [cunning] way of thinking, tell lies, and there are also times when they are confused. I wanted them to be characters whom readers can sympathize with and relate them to actual human beings. However, as the story progresses, Armin has grown to be an excellent individual, while Jean is left to be the only true representative of humans.

Jean is a person who wavers easily. He initially aspired to join the MP to have an easy life, however in the end, he chose the SC. It’s suitable to say that he is easily influenced by people around him. While drawing him, there are often times when I think, “It’s good to have Jean as SnK’s main character, huh?” There are many times where I can’t relate to Eren’s way of thinking, however it is easier with Jean. It’s reasonable for normal human beings to react like him, so that’s what I interpret. It’s easy to bring out his human nature, thus he is a character that I am able to understand while drawing him.

A lot of parts of Jean are contributions by director Araki and the anime production team. I think his VA, Taniyama Kishou’s voice is really good as well. Actually, I have a lot of regret in my own characters’ portrayals in the manga, therefore I requested director Araki to improve those issues during the anime production - and that’s what ended up happening.

During early stages of the manga, I didn’t dive deeper into the characters’ personality when I drew them, because I expected that the series was going to be completed quickly. As a result, I thought it would be better to develop the story faster. With that, I can seize the readers’ heart faster, which was the initial plan. At the time, I thought it was fine to progress like so, however in the end I even experienced a lot of regrets regarding the construction of the components, 3DMG design, etc.

It is actually a fortunate event that the series was made into an anime. I was really happy because I had the chance to amend any parts I held regrets for. Additionally, the anime quality was excellent - if the full score is 100, I would say that the animated version’s score is 120. I also think it is alright to consider the anime version as the exact adaptation of the manga.

I always think “whatever I don’t enjoy won’t be enjoyable for others.” To me, if I didn’t think a manga was interesting enough while drawing it myself, then the readers definitely won’t think that it is good, either. I also carried the same belief during the production of SNK anime, and so I really appreciate that the anime team, who worked under director Araki also possessed the same feeling toward the series. They didn’t think it as work or an obligation told by their superiors to execute. One of the precious things I felt during the anime production was that all of the staff members stayed motivated and active throughout.

Things I have gathered so far from the Isayama homecoming interview:

Armin is a boy

Mike is a little bit older than Erwin.

Mike has the biggest body in the series.

Mike’s birthday is 11/1 (today! happy birthday!)

Mikasa thinks of herself as older than Eren, and Eren thinks of Mikasa as ‘a pain in the butt’.

Isayama’s personality is not like Eren’s or Levi’s, and he can’t relate to Eren.

Reiner is modeled after a friend, and the Armored Titan is modeled after Brock Lesnar.

Sasha & her father speak with an accent in their hometown.

Once again iterates that Jean has a ‘horseface’.

Q: Does Levi think of Petra as a cute subordinate even a little?

A: I think I have portrayed such thing in between the panels.

Q: Are you conscious about things like heicho’s sexiness?

A: What I’m conscious about is things like “He doesn’t really sleep”, and “he’s based of this character called Rorschach”. He’s like someone who’s OCD because he’s always not sleeping

Marco comes from a good family. He’s an older brother.

Sasha was originally going to be killed in his rough drafts. 

If Levi changed his hairstyle, he would keep the undercut while growing out the top and tie it back.

Once again refuses to answer any questions about Hanji’s gender.

If they lived in a world without titans, Eren and everyone would be lazy without goals, but happy.

Petra’s birthday will be revealed soon on his blog.

that’s all i got so far folks stay tuned
