a solid theory but this also explains why i kinda wanna see zodd and griff get it on 

yk for a manga that has a reputation for being shocking and gritty and dark and fucked up and disturbing there is a sad lack of weird (consensual) monster sex

also i low-key ship griffith/every apostle. well every dude apostle. like they’re canonically all in pseudo-spiritual lust/love with him so i just feel like there’s an empty niche in fandom that could be filled with weird, faux-deep, religion-y, god/monsterous-disciple action.

another reply cut for fandom bitterness lol

basically. or they only remember what they want to remember, and
interpret things however’s most convenient for them

yeah p much. which i mean, whatever, most people read stuff that way and emphasize the parts they like and ignore or skim whatever they don’t, so in general i couldn’t care less about people doing that. but considering how condescending and confrontational and awful so many berserk fans are despite being completely, factually wrong, i rly have no problem pointing and laughing at their lack of reading comprehension lol

she lit says i tried
to convince myself that griffith wanted you *just for your strength*
which implies that he actually wants him for something more than his
usefulness so it can’t even be using him to reach his dream 

RIGHT?

honestly while I was reading Berserk recently after having only read a pretty poor scanlation like, about eight years ago, I had all these expectations going in after browsing the tv tropes page (always a mistake, i know) and checking out a few other areas of fandom. Like I assumed that Griffith’s irrationality around Guts was only implied in his actions rather than directly talked about 50 times, I assumed that Guts’ complicated feelings mixed in with his rage like pain and sorrow and fear etc were only shown in facial expressions and stuff rather than described by Puck the empath, I assumed that whatever process turned people into monsters after a sacrifice was mysterious and vague rather than explained and shown in detail, etc etc

I swear a huge chunk of the issues that I see heavy debate over, or fans flat out denying, are explicitly stated in the text lmao. like i basically assumed there was way more ambiguity in Berserk than there actually is bc of the way the fandom is, but nah most of the time Berserk is actually surprisingly straightforward.

Like this is the perfect example. why do you still see so many fans argue that griffith just wanted guts’ strength to help him achieve his dream when casca literally states on the page that that is clearly not the case, complete with pointing out why that doesn’t make sense.
