Hats off to Jean Kirstein, the Scouts' unlikeliest hero.

Honor dictates that I say a few words to honor the birthday of one of the 104th's strongest and most naturally gifted soldiers.

Jean Kirstein is a character who, at one point, I would have said had one of the most impressive arcs of any individual character in Attack on Titan. Once content to keep himself to the sidelines in service of the royal government, Jean has really come a long way from when we first met him in the early days of season one.

Jean has always been abrasive and cynical, holding on to no fantasies about the miserable world he and his friends have long been trapped in. But in spite of all he's gone through, he's shown a keen sense of judgement and natural leadership that has allowed him to survive again and again in a situation he at one point would have been all to happy to look the other way, and never turn back. In a world where insanity dominates between the Titans and humanity, Jean always seems to know what to do even when he's at an utter loss of what the outcome could be, and he's so often been a voice of reason when faced with the panic of his comrades or the zeal of his friendly rival turned mortal enemy, Eren.

His old pal Marco recognized this potential in Jean, and it seems Marco's words have resonated strongly with Jean long after his own demise. Understanding what was at stake, he took a hard look at what he signed himself on to and charged at it head on. Through and through, he's proven a dependable ally to those serving by his side and ultimately, under his own command. One of Jean's greatest assets, and perhaps in his own mind his greatest curse, is his nobility. Whatever his faults and failings, Jean has always sided with the greater good, and is one of the most incorruptible characters on Paradis. He's been pushed to his limits every bit as much as the rest of his circle......And through it all still stands tall.

By no means flawless, and I actually have some far stronger opinions about Jean in spite of the fact that I rarely ever comment on him around here.......And that's a discussion for another day.

For tonight though, gotta acknowledge the impressive track record of a guy who probably never should have been a Scout in the first place.......And somehow has lived to speak of the experience after going through Hell and back time and time again.

Seriously, Jean Kirstein would have been a worthy contender to become Commander of the Scout Regiment, or second-in-command under Hange and/or Levi. Whatever the case, he's certainly been an asset to the greater cause of freedom, and perhaps understood the meaning of what that was far better than Eren himself EVER did.

Keep moving forward as you always have, Commander Jean.

Happy Birthday to a man worthy of wearing the Wings of Freedom.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and one last thing; If you really do truly love Jean, then for the love of all that is good and just.........

Do NOT even think about it with the lame as hell Horseface jokes. I think the fact that I acknowledged not just Jeanmarco, but also "Jeankasa" up here is being pretty generous as it is. So please, don't push it, alright?

Besides, I can name five other characters who look more like horses than him.....

I dont know how many times I have to say this but the biggest misinterpretation of Eren's character is that he is a fascist/racist/xenophobe.

YES HE IS A GENOCIDAL AND HIS ACTS ARE UNFORGIVEN , but NONE of his actions were based on a moral belief of "the people of paradise are superior to the rest of the world, all the rest of the cultures/nations/races have to be eliminated because they are inferior".

He is a 19-year-old boy who grew up all his life in an environment of fear, violence, extreme need and total lack of freedom. He is a character deeply marked by trauma. He always was a violent and impulsive boy with radical beliefs thinking that the world is "us" and "our enemies" and that life is kill or be killed.

But he is NOT a person who committed genocide based on discriminatory beliefs. He did it because in his way of understanding the world the only way to be free was to live in a world without other humans who threaten to take away his freedom. In Eren's eyes all the people outside of paradise are enemies, people who were guilty that he and the people he loved grew up locked up in a tiny piece of the world without even knowing why or how, and people who want him and anyone else from paradise to be dead. He is the definition of "a monster created by hate."

If you watched/read Shingeki no Kyojin and your interpretation of Eren is "anime hitler lol" then your levels of analysis and reflective thinking are at rock bottom.

even if your everything fades away, losing its shape, it remains alive within me for eternity - levi ackerman

levi reminisces amidst the noise of his thoughts and the black tea in his cup

a winter story

warnings: spoilers for aot manga ending, light angst, mentions of insomnia and ptsd (kinda), mentions of war and loss

levi stared out the open french window, his thoughts were quiet for once, the rare moment of peace and solace unwelcomed. the lousy beige curtains that do nothing to block out the sun ("they're for aesthetics, levi, just hang them up.") flapped aimlessly as the wind breezed into the small room, allowing him the occasional glimpse of the bright blue beyond.

through his years of living, levi learned that nothing lasts. even the sky, blue as the atmosphere may be far out in space, changed too much around him. it got dark and rainy, cloudlessly hot and blistering, covered in green smoke that filled his lungs and made him cough pigments for days, and worst of all it got crowded with white hot steam that he could feel burning onto his skin.

he blinked, and suddenly it wasn't quiet anymore.

levi averted his gaze to the cup of tea he held, neglected for who knows how long, no longer steaming, just barely lukewarm.

he rised from the chair to pour himself a fresh cup, glancing around the life of luxury he could never have imagined living in. the dull throb in his leg seemed amplified today.

the last time he saw his comrades had been years prior, and even then they had been a blur, fogged, all steamed up like the sky was that day.

he had no doubt that as he kept living, he would only continue to forget. time was a construct levi struggled to have a positive relationship with. he had definitely outlived his dues, and yet here he was feeling every year, every month, every day and every second that went by.

and unfortunately, time never healed, unlike the bullshit saying he was always offered as comfort.

time had only made it worse for levi to remember, and to live.

in a desperate attempt to justify keeping the life his soldiers had saved, he vowed to live not for himself but for those who would undoubtedly be forgotten. he had to keep the hearts they'd dedicated. he had to keep remembering.

and so as much as he wished his thoughts would quiet, that nights he begged the death grip his memories held on him to put him to sleep, and days where the ghost of his pain was beyond unbearable would go away, he never wished to forget.

he knew this was the only way he was capable of preserving them.

thus he settled himself back into the same chair he could always be found in, near the french windows with its stupidly useless beige curtains, and kept staring into the sky. watching as it changed, gloomy, rainy, hot and blistering, and never again filled with smoke or steam. allowing himself to drown in recollected echoes of war, his tea forgotten, levi reminisces.

I may have only started my journey with this show/manga within the last year or two, but I will never forget have I felt when “The End” popped up on the screen. Thank you to the animators at WIT, MAPPA, th voice actors, and the author himself, Hajime Isayama. Everyone did such an amazing job and I will forever miss AOT.
