Since it’s mama day, Iag

Imagine being a tiger cub being carried around and protected by mama

(Sorry im very high and crying a lil because I love my mama)

YES YES YES YES YES YES

Let’s be carried by mama! (x)

Let’s get a bath and a kiss from mama! (x)

Let’s be protected by mama! (x)

I assume you sent this ask around Mother’s Day when I did my initial mamaposting reblog spam, in which case I apologize for answering so late (but coincidentally, it’s a different kind of mama day for me right now, as we’re celebrating my own mom’s birthday this weekend!). Every day is a good day to appreciate mamas and to love and cherish our own 💖💕💖

@rebelwithoutaclock said in response to this post:

where did you get the idea guts leaves the band of the hawk because of subconscious homophobia?

I think it's one justifiable interpretation of the subtext. Textually, Guts leaves because of his trauma. I have a post about that here if you're interested, but the short version is that Guts has low self-esteem because of a childhood full of abuse including csa, and that low self-esteem is why Griffith's Promrose Hall speech got to him so bad. The narrative shows us this by having Guts mentally compare himself to Zodd and, obliquely, Donovan (through parallel imagery to his chapter 13 nightmare) in a fit of self-loathing thanks to killing Adonis, right before overhearing that speech. Guts' negative frame of mind is important wrt informing his emotional reaction and his subsequent conviction that he needs to chase a dream to live up to Griffith's apparent expectations.

And taking the gay subtext/homoeroticism into account (hopefully I don't have to justify that, but like, see the majority of my blog if you want more of an explanation for how Berserk reads as gay lol) it's very easy for me to read part of Guts' self loathing as related to internalized homophobia, mainly in the way he compares himself to his own rapist.

And it's also very easy for me to read dreams as a thematic concept as intwined with internalized homophobia/heteronormativity. Like, symbolically lol. Guts' brief sexual relationship with Casca is paralleled to Griffith's sexual encounter with Charlotte, and they both use sex with women to try to repress their feelings for each other. Like, this is textual, even if you don't see it as gay, it's a fact that Griffith sleeps with Charlotte to try to forget about Guts for a while ("Take all the sad and frightening things and cast them into the fire,") and the same wrt Guts trying to ignore his feelings of guilt for Griffith being tortured for a year ("Don't think about those things. All you need is to feel alive.")

And Casca represents the dream to Guts as well, as we see in chapter 34, where he essentially equates winning Casca's affection to becoming Griffith's equal.

So essentially Guts leaves because he feels like a predatory monster compared to Griffith, to try to achieve a dream to become Griffith's equal, and that dream is contextualized through a relationship with a woman. That dream is also shown to be unnecessary because Guts was always Griffith's equal, and when he realizes it he no longer wants to pursue a dream and leave with Casca (chapter 71) (and part of a pattern of Guts and Casca's relationship). So it's not just heteronormativity, it's misguided heteronormativity.

Like I said, this is just one way to read the subtext, but it's one I enjoy and like to lean into. And I don't think Miura would've necessarily framed it this way, but based on some things he's said in interviews where he acknowledges and discusses the homoeroticism a little, some of his cited inspirations being textually gay, plus the Golden Age's recurring theme of repressed attraction (see Casca, Judeau, the Queen, and the King), it wouldn't surprise me if sexual repression was an intentional aspect of Guts and Griffith's relationship. So I don't think this is actually that much of a stretch.

Headcanon that jet gets tired of spike, faye and edd trotting out the “bounty jobs are dry right now excuse”. So he tells them to put the fries in the bag.

In other words, spike and faye are forced to get jobs. They’re miserable and lazy of course but Ed is having the time of her life.

YES, I love this idea!!!

What kind of jobs would they have? I imagine Faye working at a department store or at the makeup counter of a place like Sephora—they originally hired her because she genuinely does know a lot about fashion/makeup trends, but she ends up buying so much new shit with her employee discount that she ends up losing the Bebop crew more money than they had in the first place 😭

If anyone else has any ideas, please add ‘em in the replies or reblogs! Man, I need to turn this into a fic…

So I was rereading the RE wiki and it says Leon is 5’11 which i could believe. However it also says he weighs 155 pounds and theres just no way bro. Someone that tall at that weight would be skinny as hell. Leons 190-200 easy.

yeah it's just standard japan being afraid of weight tbh

a lot of character write ups from japan have their characters as literally underweight or dangerously underweight

Leon is set a 5'10 or 5'11 and i have dated people around this height and ALL of them were 180lbs even at the thinnest.

leon is PRETTY JACKED in re4r so he would be 200 easy.

5'11 at 155 lbs is an extremely thin person, especially for a man

even in other things like vendetta or damnation or whatever, that height and body mass would still be 200 lbs

people are just afraid of weight imo

Ada: kiss me like you’ve never kissed anyone before

Leon: ok. *he sticks his tongue up her nose*

i NEED PLAYFUL AEON

I NEED THIS LEON TO BE PLAYFUL AS FUCK WITH ADA

[pink-strawberry-kissess]

Ada and Leon discover Violets weed stash and instead of getting mad they smoke it. But not together because they’re keeping it a secret.

Leon stoned.: man I better not let ada see me with this stuff.

Ada, also stoned: man I better not let Leon see me with this stuff.

helpppsjfdsbf

honestly

i know leon doesn't smoke

youknowthosethingscankillya

ada i also have a hard time seeing smoking but i do see her doing it more than leon. but at least i see her knowing how to smoke properly at least but probably doesn't do it recreationally

bad for you

(cigarettes at least)
