Name me: 1. a Jean ship you like, 2. a Jean pairing you don’t entirely ship but do enjoy reading/looking at fanart, and 3. a Jean ship you don’t like/understand.
Love, LOVE, love this question anon, ty <3
A Jean ship I like: Jean x EB, ofc. Okay okay, for real though - JEANMARCO :'') I'll be holding a candle for Jeanmarco for the rest of my life. During my first AoT watch I was like "that's it. those boys. they are in love. and only tragedy will befall them." They deserved better!! (Jeanpiku is a close second, Jean would be down soooo bad for Pieck's eccentricity). It's devastating to me that Marco's death was the spark for Jean's character arc - let the boy live!! And let Jean keep his character arc! Can you imagine if they were Scouts together ugh :')
A Jean pairing I don't entirely ship, but I enjoy: Jarmin (is that what we're calling it?? Jean x Armin??) is really cute to me. I don't actively ship it because I'm distracted by my other Jean ships, but I really enjoy their relationship, platonic or otherwise. They learn a lot from each other and have a shared understanding of the world (imo). And Armin is always awkwardly in between Jean and Eren when they're fighting <3
Oof, a Jean ship I don't like/understand. Here we go. Jeankasa. I will explain myself. Intellectually, I understand Jeankasa. They've experienced this huge trauma together. They've fought side-by-side as comrades for years. They share strong feelings for Eren (hate, love, everything in between). They both hope for a better world, against all odds. And yet. Emotionally, I feel nothing for Jeankasa. I can't recall any scene with those two where they share any sort of romantic connection. They're comrades and friends, that's for sure, but I don't see it going any farther than that. If they were together romantically, I see them as a sort of found family, but at the same time, I think both would be left wanting more. Jean is too close to Eren's personality for Mikasa, so there's *always* going to be the comparison. Jean wants this wild, crazy love, but that's never going to be her. Whew! Jeankasa shippers, I see you, I hear you, let's still be friends, okay? <3
