There's a deep irony in Berserk being so admired by people who really really hate what Berserk is about on an emotional level, but especially when writers want to take influence from it. Because Berserk is very strong thematically, and someone who can't acknowledge subtext is going to whiff on emulating anything good.
#And by that I mean that like many of its influences and descendants the plot is fundamentally driven by toxic gay shit lol#Listen there's just no beating around the bush here: you either understand this type of story is super emotional#That the softness and hope and love for humanity is vital connective tissue between the edgy violent dark setting#And that at its core the queerness is *central*#Or you will just end up creating something toothless and cynical with tokenizing bullshit at best#You cannot make that lightning strike twice if you're too scared to even write that shit as ACTUALLY core to the plot#You don’t have to make your shit gay to be good you just have to understand if your major influence was gay and why#So that you respect subtext and thematic writing and emotional resonance in writing in general#And maybe understand that if you also want credit for pushing the envelope you get where the real standard is#This is one of those things I see in equal measure in dudebro homophobes and supposedly progressive queers#No that wasn't “bait/delusion” it was barely subtext and if you go into writing with that attitude you're going to write shallow shit lol#I genuinely believe when people lament about reading comprehension they're actually talking about willful ignorance#Because willfull ignorance *does* cause a need to deny reality to a point where it warps your ability to understand information#Having difficulty comprehending text from a learning disability or improper teaching#Has fucking nothing on someone whose deliberately trained themselves to rationalize away anything uncomfortable#Tag rant over but this shit really is a plague and you can see it so starkly when it comes to Berserk#An undeniably respectable work from a place many envious little goblins that covet it do not actually respect

ok here. last post before i have to go.
Frisk is not canonically asian. theyre not canonically confirmed to be anything
the dots to connect are when you realize the fandom headcanons frisk (and Kris) as asian a LOT of the time.
do you wonder why? is it because of the yellow skin? or the squint eyes? the subconscious bias built into us into thinking Frisk and Kris are asian because of normalized stereotypes is pretty clear. why does no one headcanon Frisk as idk british and white? Frisk is not canonically asian. But the fandom tends to see them this way.
I never said Toby called Frisk Asian or that Frisk was canonically asian or POC. I said that drawing The humans as yellow is pretty close to yellow peril and racist stereotypes and thats a BAD coincidence. this is NOT right!! and look where its lead us, HCing Frisk and Kris as asian because its THT close to what we understand the stereotype is
HCing the humans as POC is not wrong, but you have to see why its really funny no one can connect the dots on why at least as a FANDOM we can do better. Toby hasnt responded so its on us to be smart about what were CONSUMING to. where did the “think critical” of your favorite things go? You can love Deltarune AND acknowledge this is wrong. Deltarune is literally a special interest????

honestly I see owning a pet at all as a massive red flag atp. I've never met a person who treats their pet like an animal with specific needs, everyone anthromorphizes them to hell and back and the result is just a really weird mixture of spoiled but at the same time severly neglected animal that makes its behavioural issues everyone's problem. and ofc you are the bad guy when you point out the issues and the neglect, it's never the insane owner
also 90% the owner is an anti social loser who can't deal with people and uses an animal that is forced to stick around for company instead

it's possible they're just scared shitless of you.
AS SAID BY VARRIC TETHRAS 
"Is that so?" she asked, a little dejected.
Tumblr media
"I don't get why, it's not like I go around gallivanting about to throw hands with random strangers."
That's not what she means, Cynthia.

“Because we’re cursed. The men of our family — cursed to love too much.”
“That’s fucking bullshit,” Wei Ying spits into the heavy silence that follows Xichen’s words. “That’s — Xichen-ge, sorry, sorry, but that’s? That’s literally fucking insane, what the fuck. Your dad never had a problem with loving too much. Not when he could treat you guys like that, let alone your mum. Not when you —  Lan Zhan loves too much, that I could buy, maybe, because he, he loves me the most anyone has ever loved anybody [..] and — that’s. He’s. Take some fucking responsibility, you know? Get a fucking grip, cursed.”
so true, wwx

No words or phrases can sum up just how vile, how inhumane, how disgusting, how insane and dystopian this all is. Could you imagine if, today, this happened to America? (literally battle of the bulge) England? Any other place that's not in the Middle East? News outlets would have a field day and Instagram would not be conveniently glitching. Again, I cannot put into words how INSANE it makes me feel that people are not talking about this more - no words would do justice to what I am feeling
I learned a long time ago that people just do not care what happens to us because of our pigment, but hell, it's still so fucked up. How can anyone who's really human, through and through, truly wrap their head around any of this?
If you haven't woken up by now, I don't know what to tell you. I know others prefer to be looser with how much time they give people to change, but I'm straight up telling you you're a disgusting person if you can see everything that's happening and not give a single fuck. I don't care about your excuses, they mean nothing

Look, I'm certainly not a "you need to thoroughly investigate every username before reblogging a casual post"-type person (it's simply not realistic, we'd be here more all day than we already are), but for any sort of "just let people enjoy things uwu" post, you really ought to do at least a cursory glance because 9/10 the "joy" they're centering is along the lines of the joy of Israelis having a rave by the concentration camp fence.

"you don't know how to give love to anyone, you don't know how to pretend. you told your kids that you'd live long forever, but the kids don't want wanna come home again, no, the kids don't wanna come home again"
