reread the first 3 volumes of berserk (aka the black swordsman arc) today and started Really paying attention to guts this time and my takeaway is that he is TERRIFIED way more often than i thought. like puck mentions fear in the mix of emotions he's sensing from him but he is truly wide eyed quivering princessmoding his way through a lot of this ordeal

#could not resist the urge to call him princess i don't know where it came from and i just know he'd hate it. and yet #like the first times (2) i read thru black swordsman the anger and sorrow were kinda the things i got the most but really stopping to think #about the fear and what's causing it and where it's coming from has been so deliciously upsetting. so sorry bestie <3 #god. when he first sees griffith-as-femto he's absolutely furious but when he first speaks guts' reaction is just like. desperate #idk if im remembering this wrong since i've only read thru the eclipse once but doesn't griffith not speak at all once he's femto in that?#so theoretically this'd be the first time he heard griffith's voice in a LONG time. so no wonder it kinda fucked him up. not to mention #what he actually said #(unless they met again in the meantime and i just haven't gotten far enough for that to be depicted/mentioned :p)#berserk #guts berserk #yes i read that even knowing that our copies of the next like 12 volumes are with someone in another state #no im not sure if i'll just read them online or something in the meantime #i swear i really want to actually catch up and not just read the same bits over and over i swear but for various reasons it has not happene #and also berserk just kinda hits that harder than most things for me. i need to rake through it over and over and sometimes that means #putting things into chunks. it also means my analysis is very limited so eh grain of salt
