Hopeless quotes can be a powerful tool in fanfiction when you want to convey deep despair or existential dread. My favorite way to use them is by having a character reflect on their situation in a way that feels raw and unfiltered. For example, in a dark 'Attack on Titan' fic, I once wrote, 'The walls weren’t just stone—they were the edges of a cage we didn’t realize we were born in.' It’s not just about the words; it’s about the context. Pairing hopeless quotes with quiet, introspective moments—like a character staring at the stars or sitting alone in the rain—can amplify the emotion tenfold.
Another approach is to contrast them with fleeting moments of hope. In a 'Berserk'-inspired story, I had a character mutter, 'Maybe tomorrow will be different,' right before everything fell apart again. The irony stings, and that’s what makes it memorable. Just don’t overuse them; hopelessness hits hardest when it’s sparing and deliberate. Sometimes, the most crushing lines are the ones left unsaid.

Nothing hits harder than those moments in literature when all seems lost, and the characters' words echo that crushing despair. One that always sticks with me is from 'No Longer Human' by Osamu Dazai: 'I have lost the ability to live among people. I cannot even commit suicide properly.' It’s raw, unfiltered hopelessness—no romanticism, just the stark reality of a soul too broken to even end itself. Another gut-punch comes from 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy: 'You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget.' The sheer weight of survival in a world already dead makes this line linger like ash in your throat.
Then there’s '1984' by George Orwell: 'If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.' It’s not just hopeless; it’s a surrender to eternal oppression. These quotes aren’t just bleak; they’re mirrors held up to the darkest corners of human existence. They remind me why I love literature—it doesn’t flinch from the truth, no matter how ugly.

Man, if we're talking manga that just punches you in the gut with existential dread, 'Berserk' has to be at the top. Guts' whole 'Struggle on endlessly' mentality sounds inspiring until you realize it's born from unimaginable suffering. The Eclipse arc alone has lines like Griffith's 'Sacrifice' speech that still haunt me years later. What makes it hit harder is how Miura contrasts these moments with fleeting warmth—like when Guts admits he 'wanted to live in that dream forever' about his time with the Band of the Hawk.
Then there's 'Tokyo Ghoul', where Kaneki's 'I am not the protagonist' monologue captures that bone-deep exhaustion of fighting a system designed to break you. Sui Ishida loves using unreliable narration too—when Kaneki says 'I’m okay with dying,' but the panel shows his fingers desperately clawing at the ground? Brutal. These series work because they don’t just wallow; they make you feel the weight of every setback before the characters scrape together the will to keep moving.

Man, thinking about hopeless quotes in anime always hits me right in the gut. One character that immediately comes to mind is Guts from 'Berserk'—his entire existence feels like a storm of despair. 'I sacrifice' from Griffith is another soul-crushing line that still haunts me. But honestly, Kaneki Ken from 'Tokyo Ghoul' takes the cake with 'I’m not the protagonist of a novel or anything... I’m just a college student who likes to read.' That moment when he realizes how powerless he is? Oof. And let’s not forget Homura from 'Madoka Magica,' whispering 'I’ve repeated this time so many times... I’ve lost count.' The sheer weight of her exhaustion is palpable.
On a darker note, Lelouch’s 'The only ones who should kill are those prepared to be killed' from 'Code Geass' feels like a resignation to fate rather than a rallying cry. And Shinji’s 'I mustn’t run away' from 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' is less motivational and more a spiral of self-doubt. These characters don’t just speak hopelessness—they *live* it, and that’s what makes their stories so gripping.

Ever since I binged 'BoJack Horseman', I've been haunted by how brutally honest it is about despair. There's this gut-punch line from Diane: 'I'm poison. I come from poison, I have poison inside me, and I destroy everything I touch.' It's not just edgy nihilism—it mirrors real struggles with self-worth, especially when you're stuck in cycles of self-sabotage. The show doesn't offer easy fixes, and that's why it resonates. Even in lighter series like 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', Shinji's 'I mustn't run away' feels more like a desperate chant than a mantra. These moments stick because they acknowledge the messiness of existing.
What fascinates me is how these quotes become lifelines for fans. When 'The Good Place' dropped Eleanor's 'Ya basic!' as a joke but later twisted it into a existential crisis ('You *are* basic, and that’s *okay*'), it flipped hopelessness into catharsis. Maybe that’s the secret—shows that let us sit in darkness but leave a crack open for light feel the most human. Like Tatiana Maslany in 'Orphan Black' hissing, 'I’m not your property,' it’s rage that fuels hope, not sugarcoating.

Dark, hopeless quotes hit differently when you're in the right headspace. I once stumbled across a line from 'Berserk': 'In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above?' At the time, I was drowning in college rejections, and that bleakness oddly validated my frustration. But then it flipped—if everything’s meaningless, why not carve my own path? I started scribbling webcomics as an outlet, which eventually led to freelance gigs. The grit in those words became fuel.
Now I collect nihilistic one-liners like morbid trading cards. 'Neon Genesis Evangelion’s' 'The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth' is my phone wallpaper. It’s not about optimism; it’s about staring into the void and deciding to build a ladder out. Sometimes the most empowering thing is realizing how little anything matters—because then every small victory is yours alone.

Hopeless quotes hit differently depending on the medium, but I think books have a unique edge. When I read lines like 'So it goes' from 'Slaughterhouse-Five' or 'Nothing gold can stay' in 'The Outsiders,' the weight lingers because I’m forced to sit with the words, turning them over in my mind. Books give you space to marinate in the despair, to imagine the speaker’s voice and context. It’s intimate, like the author whispered it just for you.
Movies, though? They’re visceral. Seeing a character deliver a hopeless line with trembling hands or a hollow stare—like Rutger Hauer’s 'Tears in rain' monologue in 'Blade Runner'—can be gut-wrenching. But the moment passes quickly, swept up by the next scene. Books let hopelessness steep, while films make it a punch to the gut. Both are powerful, but I find myself haunted more by the pages I’ve dog-eared.

'Hopeless' dives deep into the 'broken souls heal each other' trope, but it’s far from cliché. Sky and Holder aren’t just damaged—they’re shattered, their pasts woven with trauma and secrets. The romance unfolds like a slow burn, where emotional intimacy precedes physical connection. Holder’s relentless patience contrasts Sky’s defensive walls, creating a push-pull dynamic that’s achingly raw.
The book twists the 'savior complex' into something mutual—neither completes the other, but together, they learn to bear their scars. The trope avoids sugarcoating; their love is messy, fraught with relapses and ugly truths. Yet, it’s the unflinching honesty that makes their bond resonate. Colleen Hoover layers the narrative with twists that reframe their relationship, turning the trope into a vehicle for psychological depth rather than mere escapism.
