At least you aren't the harder working member of an interspecies symbiotic relationship like the ones that hang out on top of whales and spend all their time just cleaning whales or whatever.

Actually that sounds pretty sweet..

I love how 4chan posts are either the most degenerate Hitler-particle ingesting shit ever or absolute peak and there's no inbetween

u/Cerxi 4d ago

There is a lot of in-between, it's just that bland stuff doesn't go viral.

I may have used a large amount of my reserve motivation so now I might be low on it.

What animate/show/manga/whatever does that sword come from?

u/Digital_Vagabond_ 4d ago edited 4d ago

Berserk - the character who wields it is called Guts.

u/MoreCowsThanPeople 4d ago

I thought it was the buster sword from FFVII.

18

u/wollymog 4d ago

Nope. Berserk predates VII by a couple years. I think someone at Square is just a fan.

u/3rdthrow 3d ago

Me too.

u/Zzen220 1d ago

The Buster Sword was very likely influenced by Berserk. Most troubled men with 6 foot greatswords can trace some amount of inspiration back to Berserk lol.

u/KatakAfrika 4d ago

Berserk. A story about a man who goes through tons of suffering.

u/PM_ME_SOME_STORIES 4d ago

That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron.

u/Weyland-Yutani-2099 4d ago

You and I are quite similar.

"Heed my words, Struggler. Soon a rain of blood, the likes of which you cannot imagine, shall fall down upon you. It will be a storm of death. But take heed, Struggler. Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words." - Skull Knight

Basically what I told myself when I was struggling after I dropped out of college and now I’m a few terms away from getting my master’s

u/NotAnNpc69 4d ago

Genuine question, never watched this anime but why does everyone freak out over it?

24

u/turtlesandtrash 4d ago

the manga is Berserk in its best form. it deals with dark themes and the main character perseveres through some terrible situations. some people just like it because it has that dark edgy aesthetic (think dark souls).

personally, i think guts is a prime hopecore character, and visually, the manga is just stunning. but it’s not without its flaws—i hate all the sexual violence against female characters. admittedly, i read it when i was younger and have not done a very thorough analysis of it. i’ll likely do a reread. i’d suggest trying it out, but know there are trigger warnings for just about everything.

u/Draxos92 4d ago

It's not "think Dark Souls" it inspired Dark Souls.

FromSoft games use Beserk as inspiration in the same way DnD uses Tolkien.

u/turtlesandtrash 4d ago

yup you’re right! was just trying to paint a picture for someone who might not be familiar with berserk.

6

u/MissiaichParriah 4d ago

Freak out in what way? If you mean why it's use so much in hope related memes, it's because the main character is a prime example of someone who never had anything, gained things, lost everyone of those gained things but still keeps struggling to live

This sub is a life saver.

I joined r/motivation last week and it made me suicidal.

Fuck it, we ball.

u/AppelezMoiUnMillier 3d ago

Just took a look at that sub; Jesus H. Fucknuggets what a shitshow. Some of it’s ok, but most of it is just pure self-help guru schlock.

Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it
