Here's a spoiler: the manga ends with stupid faggot author dying in real life

>>82687099
I think I stopped reading past golden age arc
should I keep reading is it worth

>>82687099
Isn't Casca so cute if women like that actually existed I'd date one.

>>82687133
fully aware, i heard about that when it happened

>>82687141
the conviction arc is good but im finding the millenium falcon arc a bit boring. i hope it gets better again

>>82687147
casca is really cute, both as a soldier and uhh after the bad stuff that happened

Yeah, nothing really new. I've not really been enjoying anything lately so I can't distract myself too well either, so it's just feeling extra bad right now. I kinda just wake up and sit here and think about how bad things are, not ideal.

>>82687099
I stopped reading when they introduced naked fairy lolis, I don't want to be on those lists.

>>82687288
definitely not ideal. try your best to distract yourself from the bad thoughts and not let the depression consume you

>>82687294
there was so much worse stuff before that but that was what got you?

>>82687185
>the conviction arc is good
I'll keep reading then
It's been years from what I remember all my favorite characters died in the eclipse

Ame! I thought a lot about Berserk today! It's one of the best mangas, and conviction arc is simply supreme.
Farnese, Mozgus and Egg are all such great protagonist. We hear so much about their motivation, their past, their worldviews are all quite reasonable, and yet we oppose them. Egg of the Perfect World is especially my beloved antagonist, simply because it's so innocent. I've thought many times how crooked, evil, hopeless, absurd this world is, and how I'd like to change it. It's like, a mix of pessimism but without misantrophy, rather with good will.

Lost Children arc is also good. I think later it drops, fighting that see monster was boring, the demon king and the Kushan are simply too evil with no 'saving grace', and with Fantasia everrything goes off the rails. I stopped reading when Griffith appeared in that witch realm, I think that was the last chapter available back then, and I think I wont go back until it's finished.

Also, I see no more crush-posting, so what's your goal now?

Trying my best... Right now I seem to be having more success doing things that require more of my brain rather than just casual consooming... Like I'm watching music theory videos instead of silly happy fun whatevers. I recommend trying that if you're ever having trouble too, switching to something more deeply engaging but not necessarily as fun. I've literally done math problems for no reason in the past trying to escape the dark brain juice... And it worked pretty good! All my attention enters problem solving mode so there's no room to be sad!!! Just an epic pro tip from me...

>griffith is maybe the third time ive ever felt anything for a male character in media, hes so beautiful and elegant. why do beautiful men have to be gay evil twinks. why cant they be nice heterosexual and majestic. why is life so unfair
Why is it that ever foid on this site I talked to seems to be attracted to Griffith (le female but male) but not Guts (traditional male) it just further confirms my femcelism being a form of autogynephilia the theory that all women are secretly bi/lesbians.

What are the first 2 characters if you don't mind me asking ame?

>guts and griffiths relationship is extremely homoerotic and they need to have gay sex immediately
Guts and griffiths relationship is non spiritual and is a beautiful friendship until Griffith rats out it isn't sexual at all but a foid who didn't experience male friendship wouldn't get it also you're probably a disgusting f*jo so ofc you see it in that lens

its honestly worth a shot to keep reading and see if you like it, no reason not to. maybe youll like the new characters

>>82687364
apparently the guy that took over said it wont be finished for like, 5-10 years, so youll be waiting a while! im up to those chapters now, the one in the spoiler

i feel like the manga shouldnt have gone on so long cause it's impossible to constantly keep it interesting and even in this arc im finding myself bored sometimes. conviction arc was really good, and while i love seeing griffith again in this next arc, it just feels meh

also i just dont feel like talking about it publicly anymore, i actually heard from him yesterday. reading berserk makes me think of him tho cause he wanted to cosplay griffith

>>82687380
im surprised its good because ive only heard bad stuff about any adaptation. i might watch after i read. sucks is cgi slop, anime cgi is fucking awful to look at

>>82687395
thats actually a really good idea, i gotta try that. and if its working, keep doing it!! keep using your brain and push out the sadness

>>82687432
i am a fujo i am very sorry

griffith isnt feminine at all besides his childlike face and hair, he is still a very muscular swordsman and is an extremely intelligent and logical thinker. he holds himself quite elegantly but i wouldnt say elegance is inherently a feminine trait

first 2 characters were dazai from bsd and as a kid i liked daryl dixon from twd (not so much as an adult)

>Dazai
Hmm interesting, he's kinda similar to Griffith in appearance twinkish, pragmatic and cunning except the sociopathy so it seems you have a type
>Dixon from walking dead
That's also interesting never walked walking dead up to where he appears is he the same personality? He definitely looks more rugged you mentioned you mentioned being less attracted now so maybe you're converging to the proto-twink archetype

Based on that you might like pic related from persona 5, kinda like a mix of the 1st and 3rd significantly sociopathic but not to the point of being disgusting and hard to sympathize

>>82687628
I also look exactly like pic related IRL lol (hapa mutt) except my face is ruined by acne scars which sucks I wish I could get plastic surgery lol

>>82687628
i actually forgot about adam jensen from deus ex hr/md too, so thats 4 characters, hes really elegant and beautiful but in a different way than griffith

daryl dixon is definitely not similar to the others and has no sense of elegance, little 8 year old me just really like his ruggedness. hes also different in the sense that hes 3d and a real person and not just a character

>>82687637
dont acne scars heal over time? plastic surgery for that would likely make it look worse, tbdesu

>>82687704
>dont acne scars heal over time? plastic surgery for that would likely make it look worse, tbdesu
They do but never fully my skin will always be kind shite :/ but yeah I think it foes get better though really slowly I had really bad acne for too long

>>82687713
well, i hope it gets better for you and they go away, or if you get surgery i hope that goes well

acne is so ass. i had really bad cystic acne as a teen but they gave me meds that cleared my skin up and i never got lasting scars fortunately

>>82687739
Eh I probably won't get surgery for it I'm too poor, its just a shame because I could have twinkmaxxed but it's holding me back majorly I still have the odd acne outbreak if I don't sleep well at 21 ;-;

>acne is so ass. i had really bad cystic acne as a teen but they gave me meds that cleared my skin up and i never got lasting scars fortunately
It really is. I had a mild case of cystic for a few years (but some minor acne ever since puberty which was rather early for me) and never could get meds for it because of my mental health (bpd, bipolar mom apparently accutane if you have the genes makes you psychotic) but I found that sleeping well, changing sheets often and moisturizing skin helps alot. Honestly my skin isn't that bad just took a shower but its a shame, I've been called unhygienic by foids its an actual major ick even though I change my sheets weekly, moisturize, wash my face twice a daily a 1-2 showers a day :/ I kinda wish I could just nuke it with accutane honestly its probably just my genes my mom apparently had acne late into her 30s lol

>>82687804
its probably a genetic thing, you could probably try wearing makeup to cover some of the scarring depending on how bad it is

i find it funny that a lot of people assume acne is purely a hygiene issue. surely youll find someone who understands it

also didnt know that something seemingly simple could trigger psychosis in certain people, thats fucking insanely unfortunate

>i find it funny that a lot of people assume acne is purely a hygiene issue. surely youll find someone who understands it
Yeah I hope so, honestly understand it's pretty gross but in my case it's not too bad at the moment, it's just a shame cause my skin is kinda leathery
>its probably a genetic thing, you could probably try wearing makeup to cover some of the scarring depending on how bad it is
Honestly I dunno how you feel I would be open to learning about make up I mean alot of korean guys (half korean) apply a little bit men sometimes wearing makeup is kinda normalized there but most girls I talk to here in north america say it would be really weird to see a guy wearing makeup so I dunno. I would be interested in trying it (completely heterosexual, though unfortunately a ton of my male friends would call me gay) but unfortunately I don't have a clue how makeup works I am a guy and never learned, I'm sure I could learn it from scratch but I dunno watching a couple videos made me realize learning it alone is alot harder than I thought foids really do exert a remarkable amount of effort in trying to look pretty...

>also didnt know that something seemingly simple could trigger psychosis in certain people, thats fucking insanely unfortunate
Yeah there was a couple of famous cases of it, but even more so it's apparently linked to mood disorders BPD in my case so definitely a no-no it's actually pretty disturbing there's tons of cases of seemingly normal and happy 16 year olds who got on accutane and killed themselves in 2 weeks when it was first coming around apparently if you have a certain brain chemistry where you're more sensitive to emotions and depression it can permanently fuck you up...honestly if you're on it now I would probably look into it though you're probably fine

>>82688018
you wouldnt wanna do a full face or anything with all the fancy stuff, just put some stuff over the bad skin to make it look more clear

if your friends call you gay for it then fuck em, wanting to look better doesnt make you gay

its best not to touch those meds then. luckily in my case i dont have anything like bpd or bipolar so it wouldnt have done that to me, but i don't take them anymore anyways cause i stopped getting it years ago

>you wouldnt wanna do a full face or anything with all the fancy stuff, just put some stuff over the bad skin to make it look more clear
That's exactly what I was thinking, it would just be slight concealer or foundation to hide my leathery skin, not trying to look like a kpop star sounds like it would be too much work, idk where I would start learning something like that though probably alot of time investment if you learn it alone, if I ever find a gf who is into or okay with these things I would probably ask her

>if your friends call you gay for it then fuck em, wanting to look better doesnt make you gay
Yeah but in my country North America and community its universally weird for both men and WOMEN the few girls I've talked to have told me when I told them of this idea they would find it really weird if a guy applied makeup, unfortunately though I don't care that much about other peoples opinion I do wanna fit in...and obvious I'm doing this partly in the selfish hopes I will be more attractive to women.

I really wish I lived in a country where men wearing makeup was more normalized...well I was born in Korea and moved here when I was 7 its totally normal afaik for men to wear light makeup there there's even male makeup brands.

Also because I'm only half asian and my white side is rather dominant (dirty blond, facial structure) I have a ton of hair all over my arm and constantly get facial hair I shave daily, I'm pretty sure I might already be able to grow a small beard if I left it alone its kinda crazy, I honestly don't like it but I've been told most girls like guys who look mature with some facial hair. What would you think about a pic related look, I might be able to pull off something like that in a few years minus the glasses and probably a bit smaller beard, though I think glasses would help alot though sadly I've had 20/20 vision all my life despite staring at screens all day

I dunno being mixed puts me in a weird place, I can't really pull off a super masculine look but I can't really pull of the twink look either because of way too much hair especially on my arm. Thoughts?

Though at least with good skincare I think I can keep my acne to the minimum the only problem is that I have a sleep disorder and whenever I pull an all nighter I seem to get an outbreak...how annoying. It really does seem like I'm kinda stuck in a liminal spot because of my atypical genes, not quite attractive either way

>>82688234
yeah that amount of makeup is a lot of work, youd most likely need someone to help you out if you ever wanted to do that

maybe letting your hair and facial hair grow out would do you some good, might hide some of the scarring depending on where it is. just gotta try anything you can think of and see what makes you look best. thats all i can really say

keep doing skincare and make sure to do good beard care when you grow it out

>>82687099
Stinky fujoshi hands typed this post.

>>82688343
indeed, fujo hands typed this reply too

>>82688308
Yeah those are my thoughts exactly. I honestly don't think I look that bad at the moment, but maybe in a few years I'll try growing a beard and see how it goes.

>>82688429
well if youre fine at the moment and are managing to keep your skin clear just keep going with what youre doing. good luck, anon

Thanks u too.

He raped casca though, he's clearly never loved a woman, he just uses them as pawns, he's aromantic and immoral

>wait 10 years for Guts to repair casca's mind

I'll keep reading this garbage but I think it was a mistake to continue it post Miura

>>82691192
Yeah that was such an ass-pull, though typical of berserk to feed you a beautiful idyllic place and then destroy it immediately for maximum despair

>>82691151
>>82691192
Gutscels always lose

>>82691151
on one hand its disgusting what he did to casca (there was literally no reason to rape her but tbdesu i think miura just loves drawing rape) and how he uses charlotte, and its disgusting that he used so many people as sacrifices. hes callous and evil and theres no doubt about it

also youre mistaken because its not just women, everyone's a pawn for him. hed sacrifice every resident of midland if it means he could have more

like i said in the op tho, i wish beautiful men werent gay evil twinks lmao

>>82691192
was it even 10 years, i thought only 2 or 3 years passed?

i mean i get the idea that it tortures guts but its so fucking annoying, theres barely room to breathe, and it already looks like shes breaking again anyways

watch, griffith will end up raping casca again in front of guts and itll go back to square one or some retard bullshit

>there was literally no reason to rape her
Oh come one, I read it years ago but I still remember that scene where Griffith after torture was lying helpless in a cart and he realize that Casca and Guts love each other, in fact they love each other much more than they love him, and that he lost both of them, and he felt he could have Casca before but now Guts has stolen even her from him. They wanted to run away and have a good life toghether, and he made sure that never happens. It was malice, resentment, sorrow. It made perfect sense to rape her.
>griffith will end up raping casca again in front of guts and itll go back to square one or some retard bullshit
Nah, I think this time they will be strong enough to endure any suffering the world imposes upon them, that would fit well with the idea of ovecoming.

>>82691330
honestly i wasnt paying much attention to the scene itself cause i just tried to get through it (im not that sensitive to rape in media typically) but that sounds right

>this time theyd be strong enough
hopefully. i wanna see casca and guts together again already
