I met a dog who looks a lot like Machete-- even had similar temperament lol, she was pretty shy

She seems awfully sweet. I love her hairy toes and impressive arm fringes.

hello hello so as I was perusing for the CRUMBS of agohiru content that exists on this site, I saw that you made a post mentioning that you shipped them and…. well basically I figured I’d ask if you wanted to expand on that 👀 give you an excuse to talk about them perhaps? also because there’s maybe five agohiru fans on this site and I’m desperate for more—

ahem, anyway, only if you want to! have a good one ✨

Omg???? Is this 2014??? The fanfics used to be fire… i have my dumb little (boyfriends) tag that would be cute if tumblr had a functional search system

You tell me too 🥲 i miss them, talk to me about these dumbasses pls

I just think theyre exes, divorced, cant ever be proper friends again (or can they?) they have chemistry, sinergy, they fight, they make out

Sometimes they get nostalgic for what they had, cause they had fun and worked great together, similar goals, but agons too selfish and a dick, a working relationship would require a LOT of emotional maturity and responsibility from him and who has time for that? Hiruma has shit to do, not enough patience and definitely not time, so whatever.

In high school they were in a feud so we saw that, feelings of betrayal, but they also make each other want to be better (in a not very nice way, but still) and they already know they work very well together, a hit to agons ego (he needs that)

So when theyre in the uni with the wizards theyre still very much “we arent friends idiotttt” mode to anyone who even gives them the side eye (hiruma doesnt actually *say* anything, feelings who? watch out for the bullets) but agon waits for hiruma after class like a puppy when he can (hes just passing by really, theyre both going to the gym or the field anyway?) and hiruma subconsciously looks for him sometimes even…

They always fight though, always disagree, theres always a better way to do things according to agon and both of them are emotionally stunted and unwilling so really, what can ya do? They do sleep together often, so that messes everything up even more, but they already know each other well, its hard to stop (do they even want to?)

Basically, heard bang the doldrums by fob? Thats them

Hey Moth! So I've had this cycling in my head for a few wash cycles too long and your last couple posts reminded me of it so I'm gonna ask before I inevitably forget again: Griffith struggles to see that people care about him as a person and not as just what he can achieve for them, which I agree with-- but I do end up hitting a snag when it comes to post-torture Griffith. The way the Hawks largely talk around him, it ends up feeling like ultimately what he can achieve for them IS the most important, since they lose hope when they realize the extent of his injuries.

Do you think that's just due to circumstances (ie the year of being on the run & upholding the rescue mission as The Thing That Will Fix Everything) and because Griffith is unable to communicate/express himself due to said injuries, so ablism kicks in an they talk about him like he's not there? Or do you think that on some level, his achievements do outweigh his personhood to at least some of the Hawks? Or maybe Griffith pushing people away is what ends up feeding the latter sentiment? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the ask, Bean <3

tbh I'd want to read the pre-Eclipse sequence as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, so yeah, Griffith pushing people away as feeding into the Hawks' attitudes. Because you're definitely right, it's at odds with the take that part of Griffith's problem is not realizing that people genuinely value him. And I do think that's the best reading of Griffith faking his own death in Tombstone of Flame and Guts thinking of him as cruel for it, especially since it takes place after the Hawks' knighthoods are announced, so theoretically Griffith's role is over - he's achieved everything he can for them by now. So their tears are a sign of how they feel about him as a person, rather than a conduit to success.

But yeah like, at the same time he does distance himself, he doesn't really let anyone in to know him except Guts and Casca once, accidentally, he's kind and personable and friendly but as Judeau describes when Guts joins, he's a bit of a mystery.

I guess it could just be a contradiction, but I think you can see the scene in Tombstone of Flame as the positive end of the scale. Like, just before it all ends, we get a glimpse of the genuine feelings and relationships Griffith could've cultivated further by allowing himself to be closer to the Hawks, and which could've grown if Guts hadn't left and ruined everything. The way Guts grounds Griffith and brings him to Earth is kind of illustrated in this scene when Guts is the one to tell Griffith about Casca's dress, which he then compliments. And I think Guts would continue to influence him in that direction if he stayed - treating him like a normal person, to which Griffith responds by acting more like a normal person, and opening up more.

Buuut instead Guts left and everything crashed and burned and yeah if anything Griffith's existence as a symbol to the Hawks grew in his and Guts' absence and overtook his reality as a person. It does make sense from a character point of view imo, considering the position the Hawks are in and how desperate they are, and it also makes sense thematically, as a result of Guts leaving and Griffith losing that potential for healthier relationships and self-esteem along with him. Another aspect of the lost potential of Griffith and Guts' relationship, maybe.

So yeah, I think that's the take I want to go with. What do you think?

for beansterpie

bc it’s law that every cute fandom i put Helle and Chike in lmao

[felidarachnid]

Helle is mine and Chike is @beansterpie’s, this has been a long time coming lol

while they might initially seem like classic Sophisticated Lesbian + Disaster Lesbian pairing, I’d like to make it clear that Helle is only Sophisticated when she gets her way 100% of the time

[bthump]

idk if you've heard yet, but the newest chapter was leaked!

(ok apparently posting links in asks have gotten weirder ugh)

Ty for letting me know! What are your thoughts on it, if you feel like posting about it?

Here's the link for anyone else who hasn't seen it yet

And my thoughts and a couple more asks under the cut, ty for the asks!

Anonymous asked:

What are your thoughts on the latest chapter? It was centred around Casca. Also idk if you already knew but there’s another chapter coming out a month from now. Which is kinda insane for berserk lol

Yeah I'm glad we're gonna get another string of chapters instead of just occasional chapters in isolation.

And my thoughts are: whatever lol.

Like, it's basically what I expected. The magic-induced stupor Casca's in is both boring and shitty for people who wanted Casca to exist as a character, but for me it's also reassuring in that it prevents most things I don't want to happen from happening lol, and it keeps Casca's trauma and big emotions on ice for a while longer because I'm still hoping for the behelit to be hers. If Casca's a full character then I risk disappointment with how her trauma is handled and what she chooses to do. If she's a drugged up damsel in distress who occasionally wakes up enough to punch a guard then I don't have to care, basically. Cool, go through the motions, I'm not invested in this part of the story so idgaf. Sucks to be Casca, same as it ever was.

She's finally got an animal association, and yk, I don't mind it. I can roll with raven for her. (plsplspls say it's laying the foundation for her apostle form pls)

I would like to imagine there's some meaning to be gleaned from Danann putting Casca in a dress to go see Guts and Casca wearing a kind of similar dress here in Falconia (feathers, head-piece) but probably the only throughline is Casca not getting to choose her own clothes/highlighting that she prefers to wear pants.

The moment she wakes up was mildly interesting, I'm glad the memories were of Farnese and co even if she did start fretting about Guts lol. There's a subtle zig-zag pattern in the last drop of water before she wakes up and starts fighting guards:

Which may be absolutey nothing, but made me think of the Beast of Darkness and gives me hope for Casca's inner darkness.

Anonymous asked:

I’m sorry bthump but after ch372 it seems like the story is indeed heading in the direction of Gutsca being endgame and Griffith being this manipulative machiavellian emotionless type villain, that last panel of him looks so exaggeratedly evil

Idk, I mean we already knew Casca still has ~feelings~ for Guts, it's not surprising to me that she'd dream about being carried away from him and think about him. It's not great, but it didn't majorly disappoint me or fill me with dread. If anything it makes Guts' sword obsession even funnier lol. Talk about emotional one-sidedness.

And rather than feeling terribly romantic, that moment when she fights the guards and thinks that she has to get back to Guts or he'll... makes me think she's anticipating Guts walking into a trap to rescue her, which, yk, is probably what's going to happen lol, unless this sword crisis resolves in a way that gives Guts an upper hand/a better plan B. But again, it's not surprising, the only thing I'm really curious about is what's going to happen when Guts gets here.

Though it does make me a little concerned that enough time has passed during this chapter that we're skipping over Guts' side of the story for a while and he might actually show up soon? We left his story on a cliffhanger so I feel like that would be stupid, and when I read the chapter I parsed it as like, Casca's first day as a damsel, but upon re-reading it's more likely one day in the life after days/weeks/months, so who knows?

And Griffith's cartoonish evil smile is dumb but I don't care honestly, I already got over it last chapter which also ended with an evil grin lmao. I know Miura would draw him with an ambiguously neutral expression so I just substitute my own in. I don't think it's a sign that he's going to be a 2 dimensional cackling villian, though frankly if he is I'd still chalk that up to non-Miura writing lacking all nuance and subtlety. What I imagine is in the future for Griffith though is more evil smiles, some Guts taunting, and then like, a crumbling of the facade in a moment of truth. It's just that the facade is no longer mildly neutral it's smug sinister evil because the new crew can't draw him.

Though man I read your ask while I was still at work before I could read the actual chapter and I was like 😟. But also I appreciate it lol bc you gave me the chance to brace myself for the worst, so I ended up pretty neutral on this chapter rather than disappointed.

I see a lot of people very annoyed with this chapter (and the continuation as a whole), and like, I get it because it objectively largely sucks lmao, but idk, I guess I have very low expectations for the continuation of Berserk comparatively. I'm no longer here for a good emotional story, I'm here to find out how it ends. I'm reading the cliffnotes version as far as I'm concerned, just scanning it for clues that point towards my desired ending.

new chapter dropped: https://readseinen(.)com/berserk-chapter-367/

I'm still mulling it over rn lmao

Have you seen the new chapter leaks??? Wtf it's going onnn twitter.com/TueloTirel/status/1544322232968654848

Anonymous asked:

those leaks..... ????????? where he goin

ty everyone for keeping me up to date! lol ihni about any of this. looks like Griff saving Casca again from the sudden chasm (also Guts lol) a la Hill of Swords, and I hope real hard that that's it and he's not about to take off with her lol, which I know some people are theorizing.

Can you imagine if we get another save Casca quest lmao? There's not an oof emphatic enough for that.

like idk, I've been saying all along that if shit doesn't go down, if the behelit doesn't open, the RPG group doesn't separate, gtsca isn't buried at the end of this arc, Guts doesn't go berserk and kill someone, something, then I'm basically done having expectations lol.

So I mean we'll see where this is going, but if all the fucking mountains and mountains of foreshadowing are gonna be ignored or deferred until the actual ending then like... yawn, I guess. I'll keep reading but if the plot actually does rearrange itself to put werebaby bullshit front and centre then I'm gonna be emotionally checked out af lol.
