Holiday headcanon
Ok going modern AU for this because what even are holidays in Berserk: Guts either buys surprisingly thoughtful Christmas presents for people, or he buys generic gift baskets. No in-between.
Cooking headcanon
Guts learned to cook to feed Gambino, and he’s pretty good at it for a mercenary.
Sleeping headcanon
Bc Guts tended to sleep wrapped around his sword as a kid, when he sleeps with someone else he holds them particularly gently

Bathing/showering headcanon

Hugging headcanon
Griffith, post-torture, is the only person he’s ever hugged without thinking about it first. (I’m p sure there’s nothing in canon that proves this wrong)
Kissing headcanon
Kisses like he means it, ie, really tenderly.
Sex headcanon
Either wants to be told what to do and how best to please his partner, with lots of praise, or wants to lie back and basically be made love to. Basically needs verbal or physical adoration.
General physical contact headcanon
“Don’t touch me,” is one part rape trauma and one part from Gambino telling him he’s cursed, which is why it comes back with a vengeance after the Eclipse.
Physical appearance headcanon
Has no idea that he’s hot and half the people he knows swoon over him. I doubt he’s ever thought about how attractive he is but if he had he’d consider himself average and maybe slightly below average after losing his eye and his arm.
Wardrobe headcanon
He genuinely thought his giant feathered assassination hat was cool. It was only that unwavering belief that allowed him to pull it off.
Jewelry headcanon
He never stopped being slightly creeped out by Griffith’s behelit, even after it saved his life multiple times.
Nickname headcanon
He kinda likes it when Skull Knight calls him “Struggler.”
Dancing headcanon

Singing headcanon
Like the dancing question, he does not sing. He’d be a baritone if he did, and he’d be able to carry a tune with practice, but he’s not going to practice.
Anger headcanon
Idk what I can say that hasn’t been thoroughly explored in the story. Hmmm okay he gets angry because he’s a ‘doer’ and it’s an emotion that leads directly to action. Sorrow, fear, trauma, regret, loneliness, emotional need, etc, all ends up being expressed as anger so he can use it as fuel for monster slaying and feel like he’s accomplishing something. That’s practically canon but w/e.
Soft spot headcanon
Kids. It might not seem like it when he tells a 12 yr old to kill herself but man, few things make him feel worse about himself than hurting children. Why he let zombie girl stab him in the 2nd chapter, why he kept fucking up while fighting Rosine, etc.
Favorite possession headcanon
Sword. That’s an easy one ofc.
Favorite photograph headcanon
Like Casca’s it’s something simple and warm with the Band, but more Griffith-focused. One of many times they locked eyes and smiled at each other during a battle, for instance. Or getting tipsy together around a fire and just chilling next to each other. Also it would be in that brief time post-Zodd and pre-Promrose Hall.
Relationship with/thoughts on _____ headcanon
Well I’m gonna fill in the blank with Relationship with NeoGriffith. And a headcanon for that is that Guts is not going to be able to kill him. Like emotionally, even if he somehow found a way to physically. Dude can’t even think the words to himself lol. Though what I can see is Guts pseudo-accidentally killing him if they were on a physically level playing field. A la Gambino – subconsciously thinking he’ll avoid the strike easily and then feeling horrified when his sword goes through him. Though of course what kind of emotional shit must be wreaking havok on NeoGriff for him to fail to avoid a strike like that is another story.
Hmm that was more half-assed speculation than headcanon but w/e, close enough.
you're the only one
