Have you ever thought about writing a genderbend fanfiction about Guts as a woman & Griffith? What would a female Guts look like for you? Do you think Griffith would act the same if Guts was a lady? I think he would most likely pursue her but Guts would be too scared because of horrible experiences in her past and reject him and Femto...well he would do the same he did in the manga. I think this is great material for a darkfic. What do you think?

Hello there, love~ I hadn't considered writing a fic, per se, but I have seen a few fem!Guts interpretations and have been tempted to try designing my own. Perhaps I shall get around to that, so keep an eye out for my take on her.

As for if Griffith would be interested in her, I would have to say yes. I don't think it was Guts exclusively being a man that drew Griffith to him, but more so, Guts' demeanor and attitude. There was something about him that instantly intrigued Griffith to an eventual point of infatuation beyond what even Griffith could put a name to at the time. I think that same spark would be lit regardless of Guts' gender. Perhaps Guts being a woman warrior would be yet another fascinating layer to the enigma of a young mercenary.

If Guts still had that persona that fascinated Griffith, he'd absolutely still find Guts distracting. I think a key difference would be that pursuing Guts openly would not be a dangerous/scandalous affair if they were m/f. I imagine Griffith would feel less internal conflict about the intensity of his interest in Guts. Perhaps that would lead him to admiting it was love/infatuation sooner. If he did, I can imagine his approach to overt affection might be different from their m/m canon. Of course, there is still his dream to consider, so pursuing Guts as a permanent romantic partner would butt up against his need to marry into royalty still. Ahh, it is really hard to say how he would handle his feelings towards Guts if openly courting Guts was an option that wouldn't compromise his reputation in the eyes of Midland and its connection to the Holy See, even if that meant abandoning his dream for her.

If Guts still wanted to leave the band, though, and the same downfall of Griffith occurred, I agree the Eclipse would still likely be unavoidable. Griffith’s mental state was a wreck. He wasn't in the mindset to be able to handle a second abandonment. Assuming Casca and Guts still spoke of Guts leaving the band again, Griffith would probably crack the same way as canon. As for the exact events of the Eclipse... it's really hard to say. Griffith used sex before to bury his anger and pain. Accosting Charlotte after Guts left and trying to force himself on Casca in his weakened state post torture. I think the assault by Femto only follows form. He was feeling immense amounts of mental and physical pain and anger. The only question I'm not sure of in this reality is if it would be Casca or Guts herself Femto assaults? In a darkfic setting, I could easily see it going either way. On one hand, Guts would have been violated as a young girl, and being forced to watch Casca experience the same trauma would be triggering (not unlike canon tbh). On the other hand, (and I've come across this in m/m griffguts art/darkfic as well) you could make it Guts herself that Femto abuses. Almost as if to say, "You may have rejected me, but you can never deny me. You are mine. You belong to me." Dark stuff, my friend.

Quite the interesting thought exercise! Typically, I only view griffguts in a m/m light (and occasionally a w/w AU), but m/f could be really interesting as well to delve into. Tbh, gender doesn't make a huge world of difference in my interest in character relationships, aside from the in-world implications that can add strife or spice hehe. It's one of the reasons my main ships are all over the place ^ ^;; I think m/f have just as much potential for dark, angsty, heartachingly interesting storytelling as any other ♡ I'm up for anything-- especially in a darkfic mwhaha~ m/m, w/w, m/f, give me all of it.

Thank you for the ask, dear Anon ♡ You've given me much to think about~

Please, have a happy new year, as well 💕

10 (or any recent releases you've been meaning to read or any upcoming releases you're looking forward to?) & 17 & 4!

10. What was your favorite new release of the year?

I suppose a decent tie between Spear by Nicola Griffith and The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison. I really enjoyed the genderbend in Spear - there was a distinctly trans vibe to it (to me) despite the fact that Petyr was very definitively cis. The way she existed in the world in disguise and was largely unbothered by it, but firmly aware of herself underneath the facade was refreshing and hit home for me. Plus the writing was gorgeous. Grief was just fully cathartic, for me. It's been a weird, awful year and getting in the main character's head while he wrestles with his own grief and the slow unwinding letting-go of it was very...helpful.

Recent releases I've been meaning to read... A Taste of Gold & Iron by Alexandra Rowland, though it looks incredibly politically dense, so I need to be in the right mind for it. Nona, which I bought GtN in anticipation of finally starting so I could read it, but haven't done so yet. Absolutely certain there are others I'm forgetting at the moment.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

Aspects by John M Ford stands out in memory because it wasn't something I had seen on a list before, or even knew existed prior to running across it by chance in the New Books section of my local library. But Ellen Kushner had a blurb on the cover, so I picked it up, and once I read the summary I was intrigued enough to check it out, despite not being personally familiar with the author's extensive body of other work. It was a fascinating start to what would have been a series of novels if the author hadn't tragically passed away some fifteen years prior to its publication, which also means there won't be any more of them, which is tragic in itself, because the glimpse we got into the world he created in Aspects was tantilizing enough to stick in memory. The characters and the world-building in particular were most memorable. I'll be thinking about them for a while. I wish we would get to know more, I have so many questions about things that were just teased in this book, like the existence of Dark Rooms, and the magic system.

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Ellen Kushner, for certain. I've read everything of hers I could find, including obscure short stories printed in various decades' old literary magazines. T. Kingfisher is another. I loved both What Moves the Dead and Nettle & Bone, and I'm absolutely looking forward to starting in on her Paladin series and the Clockwork books, probably in the new year.

Fanfic idea

Instead of Hayley getting pregnant what if female Niklaus (Nikalia) got pregnant instead because of one night stand with Vincent Griffith. Nikalia didn't realised she would find her happiness and her own Redemption in New Orleans, she didn't realise that she would find her soulmate but she did and she decided for herself that she need therapy if she ever wanna be good parent to her daughter and good wife to her husband Vincent, Nikalia and Vincent realised that New Orleans is as cursed as Mystic Falls and settle down in Auckland, New Zealand

Okay so I saw art that shipped Guts with a female version of Griffith and this art replaced Casca so I'm about to revengeance that version of Griffith for shits and giggles does anybody what anything?

[berserksweg]

When I showed my sister she was like, “Griffith looks the same.” Which I did on purpose a little. I forgot these were in my sketch book.

Actual Gender-bend names

Guts-> Viscera

Griffith-> Gwyneth

Casca-> Cassius

also on another note, did you know Guto is a diminutive of Griffith? I was researching names and that came up.

If Punchdrunk created an immersive piece based on another Shakespeare play, who would you cast?

THIS IS A FUN ONE! 

I feel the need to do Hamlet, because of the obvious confusion some people have already... 

Also, some of this is gonna be based on hearsay, because I obviously haven’t seen everyone in the Punchdrunk rolodex. Also genderbending because there’s not enough female roles in Hamlet. 

Hamlet- Austin Goodwin/ Tyler PhillipsClaudius- John William Watkins/ Eric Jackson BradleyGertrude- Isadora Wolfe/Tori SparksPolonius- Nick Atkinson/ Louis ButelliOphelia- Lily Ockwell/ Marissa MaislenLaertes- Ryan VanCompernole/ Stephanie Crousilliat Horatio- Quinn Dixon/ Tony BordonaroRosencrantz- Mallory Gracenin/ Evelyn ChenGuildenstern- Casey Jordan/ Adam GriffithGhost- Phil Atkins/ Gino GrenekGravedigger- Virginia Logan/ Colin Buckingham Fortinbras- William Popp/ Jeff Docimo

I challenge everyone else to do this! ( either with Hamlet, or another play!)

The character of Griffith was inspired by Rose of Versailles' heroine Oscar François de Jarjayes. She was considered a major feminist character who struggled with her place as a woman taking a man's role. Kentaro Miura genderbended her character to a man who committed the most infamous rape scene in Manga history! What the hell?

lol I honestly can’t speak on this because I haven’t read or seen Rose of Versailles yet, though I plan to soon (it’s open in a tab as we speak lol).

But idk if it’s true that Griffith is directly inspired by/based on Oscar, and that’s not just a common assumption based on similar appearances and Miura being partly inspired by Rose of Versailles in general, then yeesh, I’d probably add that to the long list of reasons the Eclipse rape was bad and offensive writing.
