honestly it’s a very good decision, writing-wise, to have griffith’s tongue cut out during his torture and have him be silent in all the chapters leading up to the eclipse

bc it took some control and influence away from him and allowed the events to roll out completely out of his hands

(not that he would, lol, but) he wasn’t able to tell guts how betrayed and devastated he was when he left, he wasn’t able to have any sort of heart-to-heart with him, he wasn’t able to reassure either him or casca or any of the hawks, really, with his words, he wasn’t able to beg guts to stay ……………….. like, nothing. there was nothing he could do, it made him that much more helpless and almost invisible in certain moments, when they were all making decisions with no regard for him

like, in a way, words are one of griffith’s strongest weapons, and yet right up to the moment when he sacrificed all of his friends for his dream he could not say a single thing
