[I am re-reading up to the point I stopped (which was like right after Casca's mind is restored in Elfhelm) but this shit is so funny.] Guts: *KILLS THE ASTRAL TIGER MONSTERS, EXHALES LOUDLY AND LOOKS VERY MANLY* Noble A: W-WHAT A MAN- I MUST HAVE HIM FOR MY ARMY- Noble B: NAY- FOR MINE!! Noble C: YOU DARE TO SNATCH HIM FROM BENEATH MY NOSE?!
I sorta wanna move everything to my carrd dashboard, but also, ew- Having to make ANOTHER carrd...
I love how a character could be the biggest asshole on the face of the planet, but once I find out they're an orphan and had a tough life, I immediately empathize with them- Especially if they're considered an outsider or a 'half-breed' compared to everyone else.

Dang, this blog has been around for three whole years.
Me rewatching the Promrose Hall conversation:
I actually just legit read someone saying that Griffith 'is actually' the real poor little meow meow because he 'needs a reason to live' and Guts doesn't because he can just fight to live- as if that at ALL satisfies him emotionally. Isolating himself from others obviously stymies his growth and doesn't make him happy, which is why he continues to search for something that makes him feel like he has a reason to be alive. Basic survival obviously isn't cutting it anymore and he clearly enjoys having friends after joining the Band of the Hawk.
This isn't me trying to paint Griffith in a 100% negative light (he already does that pretty well on his own after the Eclipse)- I just get annoyed by fans who get all Oppression Olypmics™ about Griffith and Guts. It's not that simple- They both underwent horrible things, they've both committed horrible things, it's not as easy as saying "DIS WAN GUD, AND DIS WAN BAD" for fuck's sake. Guts literally just killed a child- It was an accident, but he just killed a little boy who MAYBE would have posed a minor obstacle if he took over Julius' title and grew up. It don't get much worse than that, except THEN IT DOES!
I will say though, trying to get that royal princesussy really backfired on Griffith big time. Like, this is the entire reason why Guts feels like their friendship isn't real and that he needs his own dream/path to walk to be considered his equal.
"Don't smile, it's not funny!"
Why does Commander Griffith keep calling you babygirl
Griffith: *falls to his knees wordlessly in the snow because he just lost Guts* Guts: he's fine
👀 for birb man, ofc uvu
Gatts is initially so angry with Griffith- Listening to him talk about things as though he personally knows him.
Then, of course, his recruitment and Gatts is just staring back at Griffith like he’s on the edge of this vast precipice with no other direction to go but forward. And he knows the risks, knows he could fall so far, but he keeps his eyes trained only upon this force of nature in human form- and on the horizons he too could reach if he just took that first fearful step into the unknown.
Griffith shows a nonsensical amount of trust assigning the 'new guy' as raid commander, so the least he can do is trust Griffith has his back the same way he has Griffith's trust to get the job done and protect their soldiers.
At times, he feels he's always surprised by Griffith- That he can go from calm and intellectual to just plain ridiculous, like a kid playing make-believe knights, except they really ARE managing to earn respect and power little by little- each victory bringing them closer to social circles and opportunities once though unavailable to any of them.
Only someone like Griffith could make this possible.
Only him.
Disney: You're self-terminating your program? Kk, we'll give you until 10am tomorrow to move out, since we're not obligated to house you anymore. Me: Dick move, but fine *leaves* Disney: oh wait, now you owe us 211 dollars for not even staying with us the entire month because it's not like we have shitloads of money or anything :)
Send a 👀 and I will describe how my muse sees yours / what they think of when they look at them.
I love how the new ~FORCES~ music video ends with our most IMPORTANT member of the Band of the Hawk:
@soulrendr
"First of all, how dare you"
"Are you angry with me?"
"I'm literally trying to kill you!"
Some of the Berserk translations are so funny to me
Guess I need to make a FFXIV verse...
