Not to mention they've been separated for over 3 years now (2 months in the story's timeline) I JUST hate how the writer gave us false hopes regarding this character I see you've made a few posts venting over Ymir's fate. Let me just say this:

This is Attack On Titan, and it is meant to have some deaths and tragedy. I'm sorry for the loss you are feeling, but the series can still be enjoyed for everything else that makes it what it is, including its other characters. It's just Isayama's work of fiction, and you can decide whether or not you read/watch it. Don't let it beat you down. It's not worth it. If you feel it necessary, you can always drop the series and move on to another one or something. Plus, I don't think you want to look bad and get banned for spam either. Just a friendly reminder. That's all.

People do have to respect his decision to do whatever he does as part of his story, even if it includes killing off a certain character, whoever it is. There are a number of characters I like a lot and would love to see survive too, but I also understand that they could very well be dead and gone by the time the series ends. That won't stop me from enjoying the series as a whole.

That being said, if he were to go as far as to do a pointless overly bad ending (like where everyone dies pointless deaths for nothing, nothing gets solved, and it could have all been avoided, etc), and it's all just there for the sake of getting all the angry reactions he can get for his amusement rather than it being for the actual story itself (even going as far as to intentionally resort to things like bad/nonsensical writing, illogical character derailment, etc), that's when I would draw the line and lose respect for him, as would many others understandably, and rightfully so in that case, because if he just wants our angry reactions for his amusement, then by default, he's not even asking for respect, but rather the opposite. But I wouldn't even let that beat me down. I would just drop the series and move on to something else. But based on what Isayama has already said, I think we can safely say that we won't get that kind of ending anyways.

I hope this helps.
