Oh This Made Me Smile So Much. So Beautiful.

Thoughts on Berserk.

As much as people want to see Griffith/Femto die a bloody death. I don't think it will happen like that, Guts story is kinda done. He's had Casca healed as much as she can be at the island.

Now I think it's her turn for a Heroine's Journey. One of the big plot points of the Heroine's Journey is the taming of the devine Masculine. For her I don't think this is Guts I think this will be Griffith. He was the one who scared her. This is her battle, to give her closure and bring this evil masclin to heel.

Always go for the good luck.

People say women are a minority; but in fact, it is men who are the smaller group.

More interestingly, men are not born as a minority – as for every 100 female births there are actually 105 male births.

But this male surplus doesn’t stay for long, as over the course of a life time, the number of men is slowly eroded away until the sex ratio shifts.

Yup, in adulthood there are only 97 American men for every 100 women.

So what happened?

Why do men experience higher mortality rates in every age group, and have an overall death rate 1.4 times higher than women?

Why has a problem, so large it literally alters the tectonics of a nation’s population, been so readily ignored?

Why are men’s higher mortality rates so often waved of with, “well that’s just the way it is!”

Perhaps… men are not the ubiquitously privileged gender you’ll hear described, but the disposable one?

I mean isn’t early death a bit more deserving of advocacy and investigation than women having too few pockets, or Babie’s super cool day out?

Are the solutions to men’s issues more serious and complex than social media coddling, and meagre calls for “talk” and male tears?

What about men’s early death?

How do we save our men and boys?

Holy shit. Men actually die from a birth majority into a living minority.

How is this not a huge thing, and why is everyone supposed to be so comfortable with it?

How are we supposed to take seriously the claim of society "privileging" men, when there's no greater privilege than being alive? With "empathy"/"anyone giving a shit" not far behind?

Some amazing Aeriseph screenshots from this video here.

Sorry about the low quality of the pictures, but the video itself isn’t any better. I wanted to share anyway, just in case you don’t own a Niconico account. I thought these absolutely needed to be seen by every Aeriseph shipper like myself. :)

I love it when artists draw visual parallels/symbolism between the two characters.

More Solarpunk visions of a better future where human art and ecology meet as one :)

Be a little cheeky and send these to your local city planner. Be a tad punk and spam your local government with it.
