Berserkic
Berserkic is a scenegender in the Scene System that can be described as a battlefield in the aftermath of a battle- drenched in horror and in gore, in blood and the stench of death and anxiety, the battlefield is fresh with the scarred land and bruises of battle. Everywhere in the mud there lay scattered the broken armor of soldiers, shattered as the smell of smoke, of decay, of ruin, of gunpowder, slowly permeates the starkly moonlit nighttime.
It can feel related to other things like bronze and bone and explained in the context of the Berserk source, but the latter doesn't have to be and can rather simply be a way of visualizing and contextualizing this gender experience.
History
The concept and general idea of berserkic was proposed (along with the flag) on February 14, 2021 by FANDOM user TsukihiTatsu to describe ⬛ gender. The term was given an imagery/description and officially coined by FANDOM user Reign of the breadsticcs on July 2, 2021, via a conversation on the Scene System page between Reign of the breadsticcs and TsukihiTatsu about moving forward from ⬛'s original post about it.
Flag
Made by TsukihiTatsu on February 14, 2021, the following are the meanings of the flag's colors and symbol:
The flag's colours are based mostly Guts and Griffith and are designed to mean a lot of things. It has red stripes for blood and brutality. Black is for darkness, night, and the unknown. Dark grey is for armor, metal, gunpowder. Brown is for dirt and scars. Blue is for false promises and betrayal. Purple is for destiny and fate. White is for the moon and blind rage. Gold bronze is for an eclipse and royalty. The slash in the middle is Gut's scar under the Brand of Sacrifice symbol.
