MAJOR ATTACK ON TITAN SPOILERS
jean kristein:
jean is probably the most relatable to the common man within the story of shingeki no kyojin (aot). prior to the beginning of the story, all of the characters have their separate lives: eren with mikasa and armin, reiner with bertholdt and annie, and etc. out of all the background stories, jean’s is normal, or what normal can be on the island.
he grew up with a loving mom, and although he finds her embarrassing, he was still able to grow up with a rather peaceful life. thus, leading him to join the 104th scout regiment to live a lavish life in the wall of sina. when i first began attack on titan somewhere in late 2015 early 2016, i agreed with jean’s thought process. yes people are dying, yes people are living in a cage, yes people don’t have “freedom”, but that is not my life (or yk if i was living in jean’s position and in the universe). death, massacre, genocide even, is inevitable. HA ! that's someone who has been living in a comfortable bubble would say.
i, like jean, have never gone through the horrors of life compared to characters like levi or reiner. who cares about other people when you can live a comfortable life. oh, the privilege dripping out of my mouth when i say that. nevertheless, jean’s rose-tinted glasses are broken once he sees half of marco’s body.
why was this so traumatic? some people said they didn’t even rememberer marco or didn’t pay attention to him, but why? i did. the effects of marco’s kindness, observations, and mere presence were comforting. it almost makes you forget the reality of the situation until those moments become mere memories.
through this, he develops drive and motivation. after seeing reality, tell me, how can one standstill?
maybe this should’ve been a post about marco, but this about how he had a big impact on jean’s awakening.
jean kristein is a common man, then became a character whose maturity is clearly shown throughout the series. ignorant to a man who sees it as it is, not what he wants it to be. no longer a “common man”. that is why he is admirable to me. (that's also why i'm in love with him)
eren yeager, ymir fritz, zeke yeager, floch forster, etc may be well developed characters, but, jean clearly demonstrates growth in people. a change in perspective. a change in heart.
i have a lot of character analysis stuff about a bajillion characters and all of a sudden i got an urge to write about certain aspects of them. hehe

artist/painter!jean kirstein boyfriend headcanons
☞ i’ve been having sm jean brainrot recently and this just popped into my head
☞ idrk where the idea of artist jean came from but i’m living off of it.
☞ this’ll be gender neutral, and modern au and with a headcanon in canonverse. also!! in these headcanons, jean is a college student/adult enjoy :)
you’re literally his muse. i wish i was joking.
he is so in love with you and you fill up his mind like 24/7 so, a lot of his work would be inspired by you :)
if you guys eat at a restaurant he’ll doodle on a napkin
or just in general. like mail envelopes, school papers, your homework, he doodles on it.
his hands have paint on them 85% of the time
if you aren’t busy he’ll ask you to be his irl reference for like a pose or position of an arm or hand.
when you catch him working you’ll tie his hair back for him 😫😫
in canonverse, i can imagine on off days you guys sitting in a field or a hill and he’ll be painting the landscape while you watch or chat.
if you like traditional art, you guys will have art sessions together just for fun or for dates
in modern au, if you like digital art, you guys would swap art preferences and he’d get so confused on how to draw on a tablet 💀
AGAIN doodles 24/7 and a lot of them are of you which gets you really flustered
“jean you sketch me a lot don’t you get tired of drawing the same old thing over and over again?”
“why would i when you’re so beautiful/handsome/attractive? *smirks*”
0//////0
for your first anniversary, he painted you something really nice and blushes when you compliment his work.
HE TRIES TO ACT ALL SMUG AND CHILL BUT THE APPRECIATION WARMS HIM SM
if you also like art, you and him would do outings where you go to different creative studios to try new types of creative work.
ex. pottery, gouache painting, sculpting, etc.
if you sit next to him while he paints, he’ll smear paint on your face or your arm
you helping him through an art block AND THEN HE’LL GET SO FRUSTRATED WHEN HE HAS NO IDEAS ON WHAT TO PAINT BUT A LOT OF MOTIVATION
if you get him an art supply you saw him scroll by on social media/a shopping site the other week, he’ll treasure it sm and repay you with sm kisses and dinner 😩😩
sometimes he gets so sucked inside his own head, you need to drag him away to take a break
you make him snacks whenever he’s painting/making something for a deadline
reassuring him his art is amazing even if he nitpicks every “flaw” in it like all artists do
hearing him rant about how his sketch during a boring lecture on paper looks better than what he sketched on the canvas 💀💀
“NO BABE LOOK AT THIS *gives you paper sketch* NOW LOOK AT THIS *presents canvas* WHY CANT IT JUST GHHHHH”
connie and sasha also hype him up a lot.
once he gave sasha a painting of a post from her instagram feed and she cried happiness at how beautiful and special it was
connie on his insta story showing a work of jean’s: “my best friend = the best painter. beat that leonardo dicaprio”
HE’LL GET ATTACKED BY EVERYONE SAYING ITS DA VINCI AND HE’LL POST ANOTHER STORY LIKE “GUYS I JUST DID IT FOR THE LAUGHS I KNOW ITS DA VINCI 😭”
HIM AND MARCO DO ART TOGETHERRRR
marco to me seems like he prefers the colored pencil medium and THEY’D HAVE SM FUN
jean would send you marco’s art and be like “TELL MARCO THIS IS AMAZING HE WON’T BELIEVE ME”
oh my gulay. his art exhibits.
HE GETS REALLY NERVOUS BUT TRIES TO PLAY IT OFF BC HE JUST WANTS IT TO GO REALLY WELL
“honey listen to me. it’ll turn out amazing! your art is beautiful and many people will admire and appreciate it at the event :D! so i know it’s hard but try not to worry so much okay?”
“PSHHH WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LOVE? IM NOT NERVOUS PSHHH NOT AT ALL AHAHHA WHY DO YOU THINK THAT??”
he is really calm during the actual exhibit tho.
he gets so flustered from all the compliments and it makes him really happy :)
checking up on him throughout the night to make sure he’s keeping his cool
if someone wants to buy one he’d be so happy on the inside and talk about it for days after the exhibit with you.
near the end of the exhibit he has one covered painting, and when it’s time to reveal, it’s a painting of you!
because how could he have an art exhibit without including you? his main support and love of his life <3
