#he is my favourite fictional character for a reasom

[ignitification]

As someone who is emotionally attached to Eren Jaeger as a person first, and a villain second, I think there is just something so tragic beyond the level of sadness his character gives. He has been doomed by the narrative since the beginning, we all know what his end was going to be - and yet. And yet, the hope that maybe there was something over those walls that would not end up as badly as it did remained until that last frame, as forgiveness Eren would never allow himself has been bestowed to him. He will always remain as the boy who sought freedom, but in the end, never achieved it. And there is simple despair in the fact that he tried so hard to change, so hard to make it better and the uncertainty of whether that was ever enough. Eren never lies to see the day. And that, I think is both poetic and heart-crushing, because it represents the death of a dream that he desperately fought and killed for and that has disappointed him as he thinks he has disappointed everyone else.
