-At the winter solstice -

Zeus:…….

Poseidon: Not. One. Word.

Zeus: I just - how do you get your ass beat by a mortal, with your own weapon and your own storm.

Poseidon: I don’t know??!?!? It’s like he wasn’t a mortal at the time! Like some other force was helping him!

Zeus: Oh Whatever. Are you saying he had some kinda divine intervention from one of us to beat you?

Poseidon: That’s the only explanation!!

Zeus: You can’t honestly….

Hades: Oh yeah, that was me. I gave him a little boost to help him beat you.

Zeus:…..

Poseidon: … Hades, what the fuck.

Hades: Next time, don’t drown 500 mortals on me and Persephone’s date night.

Alright, Zeref feels and thoughts time.

First, I find it so interesting that it is because of him that Fairy Tail even exists; like, both the show and the guild. It’s just so interesting that the final villain made actions so long ago that ended up putting all the pieces in place to lead to this reality. He has affected the world in such a strong way, that the ripple effect affected so many of the characters.

Another thing I enjoy about him is something I consider to be his core, most defining trait: how deeply he cares and loves. Cause think about it. He loved Natsu so deeply that he was willing to break rules of literal gods just to get him back.

And he in turn gets cursed in such a way that turns his caring nature against him. So he probably falls into a lot of self-loathing and now wants to die. But another part of that curse is that he now can’t die, so now he returns to breaking god rules just to find a way to create something that could kill him.

And he thinks he's finally made his masterpiece - while also getting his brother back at the same time. But he’s nowhere even close to being ready to kill him, so now he’s just gotta wait it out. But he still cares so deeply so he keeps killing things, so he has to lie to himself and pretend he doesn't actually care; which as we see in his introduction on Tenrou and his first appearance in Zero that he is absolutely shit at doing so, even after all this time, because it goes against his nature. (And at some point I guess he decides creating an empire is a good idea because he’ll hate the job of running a country so much that he’ll forget to care for a while.)

And then one day he meets Natsu again but he’s like “fuck, you’re not ready to kill me.” And the actions of Grimoire Heart seems to make him lose some faith in humanity (and in retrospect, maybe he’s extra pissed at Hades because he recognizes him as Precht and is upset he’s using magic to do evil shit when he’s the one who taught him magic, idk).

But he also notices that Natsu also cares & loves deeply and draws strength from his love for his friends & guild and won't stand for his guild being threatened. So he's like “if I do some evil shit to his guild, maybe I can draw the strength necessary to kill me out of him.” And if that doesn’t work, he has another plan kind of in the works cause he’s dabbled in time travel before, so what if he tries that again but instead of to revive his brother, it’s to kill himself before he becomes immortal (or whatever his plan was there; it’s been a while).

And back to how deeply Zeref loves, it makes him such a great parallel to Natsu. They both love and care so deeply that they are willing to break the rules for those they care about. They’re such good foils in that I feel they are almost the same; by that I mean the main difference between them is that Natsu has a support system in Fairy Tail, and Zeref did not have one back then and now can’t have one due to his curse. Like, I think that Zeref is who Natsu would become if he lost everyone he cared about; I think he might follow that same path and break rules made by gods to bring them back only to be put in a position where he can’t be around them anymore for their safety, leading him to once again follow Zeref’s path toward self-destruction.

How this derpy guy pull 2 beauties is beyond me

The idea that Ares is helping Odysseus in the Vengence saga is my favourite thing ever. I love the fact that Ares is willing to look after this mortal up untill his sister can take over, to see the human his sister was willing to fight (and possible die!) for.

Ares is willing to step in and help him leave because what Odysseus needs is to be brutal and merciless to get to his home. Strategies is what he needs later to get his thrown back but now Ares is assisting him pushing Odysseus' need for bloodshed to it's limits. Because Ares is that rage, the anger bubbling unfiltered so human anger

I've been thinking about religion recently. Maybe it’s more correct to say: it’s been rare for me to spend a day this last year not thinking about religion. Why are religious people so corrupt? Always berating and rebuking. Chiding and reproving. Sentencing good people to hell.

I thought Christ was the judge?

The most devious lie is crafted almost wholly by truth.

Inconsistent hypocrisy masked by the glory of God? You cannot hide your sin. And most of you don’t even see it. Is faith blind or blinding? Is your behavior forgiving or obsessive? Do you follow the character of Christ or the carnal part of the duality of man?

I once learned that Mormons are less harsh than Catholics. Catholics believe in HELL. But now I see that there are scrupulous Mormons and hopeful Catholics. My dad taught me that people who leave their congregation are lazy. I have found that many are seeking truth.

Nothing like going home for the holidays after you have lost connection with the faith you once grew but without your parents having knowledge of you leaving; because peace will be lost once you tell them you have left their faith.

I saw this a while ago and just can't seem to get it out of my head and I just need more people to see it

" Obedience is the highest form of worship

But love is what makes us human

Sin is what makes us human

Then maybe love is sin and sin is love "

I think arguing with people about stupid thing is legitimately fun. Like as long as everyone is aware that what their arguing over doesn't matter as it isn't something genuinely harmful or misleading, having stupid argument are fun and everyone should do it.

I guess it technically counts as a friendly debate but making claims like 'Vegtables don't exist' and 'Colours aren't real' and having to make up reasonings to why you think that is such a good skill to have. Obviously some of these have actual answers (Vegtables are not real) but it's fun when they get more and more ridiculous like 'we should get rid of the sun'.

More people should really get into friends debates because they genuinely teach you how to question things and come up with points which is something everyone should do

I did it

I finally cleared out all the ao3 tabs that I don't read on my phone

It feels like a victory and a loss

(I just know in a week im gonna be looking for a specific fic and just won't find it and hate myself for this)

Mavbo writers we are gaining ground on the seavbo shippers don’t stop now! God’s favorite boy failure can prevail!

(Okay but all in seriousness I think it’s really cool that we have two fairly popular ships from this funny little series)

I've come to the realisation that I just can't leave the mcyt online space

Everytime I try a different group of block people drag me back into into it kicking and screaming

I've accepted my fate

[dragon-flies-72]

Everytime I hope on Tubmlr I realise I can actually repost whatever I want and yall can't even judge me for it

So I think Parkour Civilization polycule is the perfect and my obsession w seavbo since I finished Parkour civilisation 2 is ridiculous

(Im also genuinely so happy w the recognition its getting i watched the first one ages ago and I'm so pleased to see it getting so much traction)

Sounds about right

The two best reasons to ship anything are:

1.Incredible, deep and detailed narrative themes. The parallels that seem to hit just right, the narrative foils that they can be to each other, the intricate dynamic that's both extremely complex and easily understood. The juxtaposition between something that's harsh and undoubtedly toxic, with the softer undertones, the parts where you read in-between the lines and find a mutual feeling of loneliness from both parts, their intrinsic understanding of each other comes from the mere fact that they're each others mirrored reflections and shadows. In the end both sides will be together forever, and you as an audience can clearly see their tragedy laid out before in a path that blurs pure anguish and tender romance

2.It would be so fucking funny

Anyone else get kinda annoyed when people keep talking crap or complaining about teachers just cause they aren't in? Like I get it but there's probably a million different reasons why they aren't free and they shouldn't have to justify that

I do see the other side but it just gets me annoyed when it's so clear that they really are trying to help but are in just a rough spot and need some empathy and effort from us but noone seems willing to give it to them
