hey, you!! i recently got asked some headcanon questions for my characters and it reminded me that i havent asked about jean in a while <3 so let me send you some questions!!

what's her most embarrassing secret, something she'd never admit or something of the sort?

what's a story she'd tell when everyone's sitting down around the campfire? (bonus question: what type of s'mores eater is she: the one who burns it, the one who perfectly toasts it, the one who's too impatient to make the s'mores and just eats each individual ingredient separately, or does she not like s'mores?)

ghosts, does she believe in them?

a very specific pet peeve she has

in minecraft, would she be the fighter, the builder, the speedrunner, or the noob?

someone tripped, how would she react?

if she had a few more hours to live, what would she ask for her final meal?

hope its too much to answer!!

Come here, imma kiss you. 🫵

You're never too much!

I don't know how to handle kindness!

Secrets - Secrets!

Oh man, this is a fun one! I'm not gonna lie. These are some of the things I thought of for Jean!

It's absurd how easily Jean gets frightened. One of her favorite genres is horror, whether that's books, video games, movies - she loves them! That being said, she's a big baby! It's unfortunately not a secret, so I kinda cheated with this one, but she's embarrassed about it for sure. She keeps trying "exposure therapy" to try and get over that. This leads to a lot of late nights where she's curled up with a pillow, screaming at every pathetic jump scare.

Now, for one that's an actual secret! Her neck is super sensitive. She doesn't know why it's like that, but she hates it. It's part of the reason why she won't cut her hair or change her hairstyle. The braids rest on her shoulders and help hide her neck. Not that there are many people going around touching her neck, but ya know, better safe than sorry!

A small wholesome one that I can only imagine a handful of people would know is her love for her old stuffed tiger. She's got a stuffed tiger she got from her dad when she was little. It's old, worn out, restitched (thank you, Mama Sharon), and missing an eye. His name is Jiàn'ér (valiant fighter), and he's very important to her!

A Short Story!

Hey, so I wrote a short story to go with this question! It's been a long time since I wrote anything, and I've been wanting to kind of dive back into it! You can read the whole thing [HERE].

Long story cut short!

Jean would tell scary stories for sure. Even though I mentioned above, she's a big baby, she loves them. Her favorite thing to do is drag other people in on her campfire story telling shinangens! If she can get her friends to help her build the mood, she will!

As for the marshmallow, she really doesn't have the patience to fully cook a s'more. She loves them, though! Burnt. Raw. Slightly cooked to perfection. All of it. As long as she doesn't have to do it. If left to her own, she'll just eat the marshmallows whole.

Spooky Time Bitch

You cannot live in fucking South Park, Colorado and not believe in the supernatural.

Jokes aside, yes, she very much believes in ghosts. She believes in almost all supernatural things. If aliens are real, what's really stopping everything else from being real?! Vampires? Werewolves?

Hell, she fell for hard for the ManBearPig thing much to Stan's annoyance.

For the most part, she keeps that part of herself locked away, but if you get her drunk and talk about it, she goes on a full rant. Cue the Pepe Silvia meme. The red string in a whiteboard, whole nine yards.

Ghosts are just the tip of the strange iceberg.

Petting Peeves

Man, so here's the thing. We all have that one where we can't stand people who chew with their mouth open. Or when people talk over you. Those are the ones I think everyone is born with. Although, she doesn't mind when people talk over her as much. It's more like, "Hey, don't talk over that person they were talking." For her.

But for a very specific one? (It's gonna sound so selfish, I'm sorry.)

Comparing her to Stan.

I don't know if you ever had this problem growing up with a best friend, where every single person compares you to your friend.

"Oh you're [___]'s friend!"

"You and [___] are so much alike!"

"You're like the female version of [___]!"

I got that last one a lot growing up.

For Jean, that's a quick way to get under her skin. Because for her that takes away from Stan. Comparing her to someone she sees as so wonderful and great isn't something she likes. It's complicated, right?

She's so hard on herself that it feels like you're insulting him. Stan's great. He's a natural leader. He's talented. He's funny. He's a great guy.

She's just Jean. Just Jean.

Comparing her to him, it's not fair to him.

World cold and cruel; play Minecraft

This question is so fun because I always had it in my head that she would play Minecraft with Ike! It's that little dude who gets her into the game, and from there, she's just hooked. She's not very good at the building part, which is why she loves playing it with others. She loves the mining and exploring part of Minecraft.

POV, you're working on your base. You've just finished the farm and it's come together so nicely. In the distance, you see it. A shitty blocky model of Shrek running at you. Above his name is:

Jean.I.Guess

Because that dumb bitch didn't know what to make her username. Followed behind her are three dogs. A cat. And two birds. She right clicks the animals next to your house.

> D O G G Y

> C A T

> B O R B

She runs off. Jumps into a boat and paddles off. Not before throwing a stack of bullshit in your chest. Moments later, at the bottom of your screen you read.

Jean.I.Guess was blown up by a creeper

All is as it should be.

FINAL DESTINATION. NO ITEMS

Funny enough, this was the one that tripped me up the most. Jean has such a whatever pallet. As long as it's food, she's gonna eat it.

That is if she can.

Jean is allergic to nuts. She can't have them at all. PB&Js were out of the question as a kid.

She'd be very fucking tempted to say anything peanut butter and chocolate. Really, really tempted. BUT even she's not that stupid!

Her final meal would be a Thanksgiving plate made by Sharon. She wouldn't even ask for anything specific, just whatever the woman would make on Thanksgiving day... she wants it on a plate. There is nothing that would bring her more joy than the memories of sitting around a table with the closest thing she has as a family.
