A bit off-topic, but what happened to these two in the manga? Haven't read it for quite some time.
Historia became queen after killing Rod Reiss and Ymir got devoured by another titan shifter.
So basically no happy ending for these two :,(
Ymir's death is somehow made worse by the fact that it basically happens offscreen. It's mentioned in an offhand comment, and another character has a flashback about it later, but for such an interesting character, with such a significant name, her actual death is given almost no emotional or dramatic weight whatsoever.
Rather than dying, it's more like she was written out of the story, and the author killed her off as an afterthought because he still needed her blood more than he needed her character. The connection she had built up with Historia gets unceremoniously dropped because the author wants a whole new character to have her power instead.
The fact that Historia also hasn't been a major character in forever makes me super suspicious, too. Like, the only two members of the old recon corp to get unceremoniously pushed out of the story happen to be the couple fans latched onto for being super gay? Hmm. It could just be a coincidence, but it's a pretty unfortunate one, at that.
Anyway that's why Ymir/Christa fanart is the most tragic shit ever and even when it's great it makes me want to cry, the end.
