currently watching: very slowly going thru the untamed w/ a friend of mine. also i am "watching" a3 bc i feel like watching the event stories doesn't count as gaming lol. and its not exactly just reading... anyways bc i ended up writing a short fic abt the spring and summer rookies respectively i've like. committed too hard and will not be starting act 2 winter until i finish this azami centric fic. cheers.

last song you listened to: datte by yuyoyuppe. i cannot believe the EP its on was only released at some vocaloid event.

currently reading: ....a3. nah i just said i can't say that. unfortunately not reading much in the way of books at the moment. although i'd love to. i'd say i'm reading witch hat atelier but i haven't picked it up in a couple of months... last month i read orv?

latest obsession: i'd say that i'm getting into honkai star rail but I think like compared to other things i've been pretty normal about it. this is gonna sound self absorbed but most of my brainpower nowadays has been dedicated to thinking abt this one fic i am very very very very slowly writing. it's just like. a bit of a complicated fic and smthing i haven't rly tackled before so i'm having a lot of fun with it and also i deeply need to be satisfied with it. i haven't done this much rigorous self editing in a while!

tagging: uhhhh if anyone sees this and would like an excuse to talk abt the thing they're into etc. go ahead and do it say i tagged you. i'll read whatever u wish to talk abt.

Hey I see that your kin assignments are still open!🥰 May I get a kin assignment from haikyuu and mystic messenger?

INFJ, 4w5 (sry I don't understand other personality-assigning methods and I don't care), literally everyone thinks that I'm extrovert lmao no I'm ambivert, I talk rly fast and I appreciate pleasant company of people alike, I also enjoy to be on my phone to satisfy my weeb needs rip, sassy humor, girlboss, I always need to look extra when leaving home otherwise I'll feel bad💅, I'm actually rly kind and thoughtful, I like my peace and I love my lazy days, I'm an artist, people say I'm funny, pretty and smart (I'm sounding like this Tommy Lynn student athlete💀), family issues idk I just like my friends, it's only ok for girls to like pretty things and shopping and I'm not an exception but let's not stereotype us like that hah, I'm listening to rock and pop music, I'm mostly just watching psychological or survival movies bc they're exciting, gamer here✌️, I find villains and morally grey characters interesting and sometimes relatable, I'm a grudge holder although I forgive easily, I remember stuff regarding people better than academic pressures pray for my dumb ass, I make up nicknames on the spot bc it's easier to befriend people, this meme is literally me and my friend's dynamic- "I hate when u are being a fun and zesty texter and the other person is a slice of damp bread I can't carry this conversation alone I have very little upper body strength. Yes I love [her name] yes this is about her.", I hate formalities and stuck-ups, I don't like poetry and inspirational quotes but I still prefer deeper meanings to things, people who're kind and bear strong moral compass are admirable imo.

That's it. Have a nice day!🌹

you remind me of..

I also thought of Koushi Sugawara.

Tooru Oikawa - he's pretty chatty and tends to talk quickly as well as often hang out with others, though I don't see him as a hardcore extrovert. he's very extra, assertive and tends to make sassy or rude remarks despite what his charm would suggest. he's definitely a grudge holder and tends to hate stuck ups for taking his stage as well. he does seem to be rather polite as long as he's not in a frustrating situation, though. would probably own mean girls gifs.

ZEN - I see him mostly as an ambivert, though he's probably often perceived as an extrovert due to enjoying positive company and chatting often. he tends to be a bit sassy/sarcastic and hates stuck-ups more than anything. I see him disliking inspirational quotes, formality and poetry because it can seem pretentious too, though he probably still likes deeper things. he's a very assertive and extra person, often attracting a lot of attention from others, especially when it comes to his looks. he's also pretty kind and thoughtful despite his demeanor, as shown in his route. he seems like the type to hold a grudge but easily forgive if there's an apology.

heyyy just wanted to say the music you've uploaded here absolutely slaps!! i assume you have some experience with putting stuff together in DAWs and was wondering if you'd have any advice for beginners who are interested in making music like that?

hi!! wow thats really nice of you to say, thank you! i'm pretty new to the whole mess (ive only been doing it on and off for like a year) but im happy to share what ive trial'd and error'd my way into. im guessing u mean just like general music construction advice so i'll do my best to give soem good advice of that n_n

i guess my main thing is actually kind of a fun thing and its to diversify ur tools..im always downloading new stuff to mess around with and i have a hugeeeeeee collection because it keeps me from getting stuck! whenever im not getting a sound im satisfied with im just like OK LOL next synth on the list and usually i eventually arrive at something servicable just cos i have so many options. same goes for things that arent synths like drum samples and shit like it just makes it a whole lot easier if you have a lot of options available in my opinion. (U can get free vsts all over the place + if u need some suggestions i can give them, theres tonsss of places 2 get drum samples but i usually download like, rips of old drum machine samples cos i like them lol , most of my drum samples r off a roland mc 505) also learn chord relationships like at least a little bit!!!!!! its pretty straightforward and it makes composing a song rly easy cos u know like exactly what chords are going to work off of eachother which way. if u dont wnat to work on memorizing all that stuff i would just find some songs u like and look at what chord patterns they use and take note of it, u can learn what sounds good really easily just by paying attention to whats in the songs you like also chords are like the best way to pick what note is going to come next in a sequence so its just generally pretty useful to understand how they're constructed and how they relate to eachother this is just my personal workflow also but i recommend starting with the bassline in like, any song you want a bassline in (which would probably be most songs.) it kind of lays out like the skeleton of the song for u and its just a lot easier to start with one rather than incorporate it later ( i have learned this the hard way and i havel ike 3 songs in the vault bcos i cant figure out how to work a bassline into them because i didnt write it in initially :") ) also listen to songs u like and pay attention to how the drums are sequenced there if u have a hard time with drums! drums have been a matter of trial and error for me but paying attention to patterns in other music has been really really helpful. (my biggest advice for this is liberal use of hi hats LOL i just think they're neat) if u have any more specific things ur wondering about thats all i've got in the way of tips for writing music ^^' hope its a little helpful!!

as you mentioned, i think the spaces where apostles/godhand make their sacrifices are specific to a person, since they're all different from each other. then yeah, i think that dimension of human faces are meant to be specific to griffith. i already imagined that but i couldn't be sure since we hadn't seen another eclipse happen, but i'm also not sure that last panel was an eclipse and not just gaiseric's own sacrifice, so i guess we'll see. also, if it was gaiseric, i wonder what was his sacrifice? i know the woman had a brand on her shoulder, but there also was a giant glowing brand on the background. oh man this new chapter answered some things but only made me more curious djskssk maybe hoping for another chapter this year is hoping for too much but oh well

ibb.co/jkc9ygP // 1) this is insane, the whole chapter is. feels like miura is finally back to form and we're in the endgame 2) any theories about what's happening here, about void, about anything really? 

I don’t think it's likely to be Gaiseric’s sacrifice bc the memory is specifically of when the berserk armour takes over, and while I don’t think there’s any in-universe reason someone can’t turn into a monster and then have magic armour take them over, storytelling-wise it would be redundant and kind of weird imo.

wrt that giant glowing background brand, I was assuming that it’s Gaiseric’s city which Void sacrificed in its entirety, on fire in a brand shape bc the metaphysical world of Berserk is really on the nose sometimes with its symbolic imagery lol. So Gaiseric’s gf is just one of thousands, in that case. That said, we didn’t see a big brand during Griffith’s sacrifice - the only other time we saw one was during the reincarnation ritual at the end of the Conviction arc, when the refugees’ bonfires made a brand shape iirc. But then, we also didn’t see people with individual brands then, and it’s still in another dimension with the Godhand actually there and not just shadows, so I’m inclined to think that it’s still a crimson-behelit Eclipse event, and Miura basically threw in a burning brand-shaped background bc it looked cool and he already established that the world arranges itself into symbolic images sometimes.

My previous theory about Gaiseric, based on his whole ‘appearing out of nowhere to unite kingdoms and create an empire about a thousand years previously, which Griffith resurrected into Falconia’ background was that he’s Griffith 1.0, a former Godhand who was incarnated back into the world. And that’s like... maybe less likely now lol, since he doesn’t rly need 2 majorly significant backstories, and what does an incarnated godhand need magic armour for anyway, but still not impossible imo?

(Actually idek if it’s less likely since I did think Void sacrificed his city while he was an incarnated godhand before, the only difference now is that he already had the armour and a gf i guess)

Like I’m coming at this from an extremely biased pov bc if it was true it would fit perfectly into a bunch of my other theories about Berserk and hopes for the future of the story, but still lol, ~I want to believe~

I mean first of all, to be fair, someone’s got to be the previous incarnated godfinger, like that seems like a pretty important figure in Berserk’s time-is-cyclical worldbuilding, and it’s probably not Void bc he’s still on the astral plane, and it should be someone we’re already aware of so it doesn’t feel like an asspull out of left field so it’s probably not any of the other 4 random godhand members, and Gaiseric has been v explicitly positioned as the Griffith of a thousand years ago, including Guts thinking he sounds like Griffith while Judeau and Casca are telling him the history.

Also it seems that he can sense fate, he knows an awful lot about how mock-Eclipses work and how the godhand operates in general, and lbr everyone already kind of expected him to be Void’s surviving sacrifice so this flashback didn’t come as a big surprise, but revealing that he’s also a Griffith would be a great twist.

Plus since the other 4 Godhand are gone but Void remains maybe he wasn’t the 5th like Femto, maybe he was the first of a new cycle, which would mean the 5th was already incarnated when Void ascended.

And if Gaiseric was an incarnation ruling an empire when Void fucked him over by sacrificing it all, that has some pretty interesting implications going forward. Like

a) godhand incarnation not emotionless, which we already know lbr, but it’d be good foreshadowing for Griffith

b) possible that incarnation can be sacrificed, assuming Gaiseric was sacrificed along with his city which we don’t know for sure but is kind of implied with his “dead man stalking the night” comment, which is great news for my niche specific ‘casca sacrifices fetus/moonbaby and griffith along with it, which he survives but which complicates his existence’ theory

b2) also could explain why skull knight isn’t as invincible as ngriff seems to be and doesn’t have apostle charming powers

c) I’ve theorized that Griffith could be fated to turn on the rest of the godhand and destroy them so a new cycle can begin, and Void might be trying to circumvent this to preserve his existence, so yk, Void big bad and enemies teaming up plot

d) I like the idea of Skull Knight representing both Guts and Griffith just bc it’s more interesting to me than a rote SK = Guts and Void = Griff, and on a world building fate-y level it’s got some satisfying ‘G+G both being necessary to fate, taking the place that was held by one person last time, and inadvertantly working together to do whatever fate needs to be done’ implications. yk, it means they come as a pair even moreso

Like okay it could just be that Skull Knight is just a Guts 1.0 who picked up a lot of knowledge in his thousand years roaming the earth killing godhands and apostles, and Void was the incarnation who dipped down to earth for a while, fulfilled his humanity’s desires mandate by doing something other than founding an empire before peacing back out to the astral plane again and starting a new cycle. But that’s just not as fun.
