i might elaborate on this someday but i think the only relationship in fiction i've seen that reaches griffguts' level of emotional intensity in guts hating longing for resenting feeling betrayed and abandoned by griffith while at the same time loving him dearly and helplessly and eternally is itempas/nahadoth from the inheritance trilogy with nahadoth's feelings toward itempas. itempas/nahadoth also has the same type of cataclysmic world-altering consequences that griffguts has! however i will also say itempas is significantly crazier about nahadoth than griffith is about guts. which is impressive
#i won't say if you want a griffguts-esque relationship read the trilogy bc the relationship is sort of in the background for the first book#and it never becomes the 'main couple' so to speak. their relationship is already established; it does change significantly over#the course of the books but you won't have a full story of them meeting and falling in love. but if you're looking for a fantasy read with#interesting worldbuilding and well written characters (plus! the main characters of the first two books are both woc) and#absolutely insane relationships then i highly recommend. also if you like griffgutsca there is also a central ot3 in this trilogy#griffguts#guts#griffith#berserk tag#berserk#nahatempas#nahadoth#itempas#intri tag#the inheritance trilogy#me? making connections between series based purely on vibes? it's more likely than you think
