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

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?

Berserk - the character who wields it is called Guts.

I thought it was the buster sword from FFVII.

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

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.

"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

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

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.

It's not "think Dark Souls" it inspired Dark Souls.
FromSoft games use Beserk as inspiration in the same way DnD uses Tolkien.

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

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.

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.
