#Not much lolu this chapter

[thecagedsong]

Chapter 28 is out! Getting close to the end of the Phantom Lord arc. Woohoo!

[fairytail-multishipper]

Who would be your favorite partner(s) for Lucy and why? I always love hearing your reasons and ideas. I love how your mind works. 💕

askskggdogjdskdk thanks for the compliment! truthfully, these fuckers live in my brain and i need to keep talking about them even though all of my mutuals are slowly leaving FT :((

Lolu

I think this is my favorite Lucy ship in general and I wish their relationship developed into more than just a played out, tired gag. I’d prefer it to be romantic, obviously, but even a deeper friendship would be better than what we got. :((

10/10, expect Lolu slowburn in my rewrite ;)

Graylu

My first FT ship! I love them so much!

9/10

Luli

Why fight over Natsu when you can date your “love rival?” Seriously, they have a cute relationship from the little we see them interact and they’re so precious! Unison Raids resulting in new Take Overs for Lisanna!

9/10, making out while Natsu makes out with his boyfriend

Erlu

I adore the knight/princess vibe they got, and also just love the thought of Erza helping Lucy tap into her own badassry. Their friendship is really overlooked and i think it could be a nice semi-slowburn and then i’d make them a couple after the Edolas arc because Lucy’s torment of Knightwalker being a monster and her relief of seeing her Erza makes me so aahhhh!

8/10 would write a whole multi chapter fic Macao arc — Alverez arc dedicated to them

Luvia

Very similar to Erlu in the dynamic they could’ve had. That episode between them fighting that rocker hair guy in the ToH was so cute and it really showed what they could’ve have if Mashima developed Juvia.

7/10, would write a whole multi chapter fic Phantom Lord arc — Alverez arc dedicated to them, minus a few points bc of canon juvia :(

Lucana

I think this was my first WLW ship in FT, or, at least the one that I was most in love with. Their friendship is so sweet and I wish that Cana would stop groping her in canon :/

7/10, had to take points off for the sexual harassment :((

Lelu

Might be surprised seeing this one ranked so low, seeing as i made lelu canon in my rewrite, but the truth is, i just like different lucy and levy ships more. that being said, this ship is so adorable!

6/10

Rolu

Mostly bc of the future lucy/future rogue angst, but also their dynamic would be so cute! emo black cat and his sunshine golden girlfriend, it’s amazing!

6/10

Flarelu

More of a smaller ship, but they’re adorable. Flare’s little crush is basically canon and Lucy slowly helping her come out of her shell is sweet. Bad start but a cute little ship.

6/10

memento mori (5)

I had so much fun writing this chapter, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! :) thanks to all people who left comments and kudos on my work so far, I am really glad someone is enjoying my work :) I am very excited to write where this is going with these two...

some Na'vi words I utilized in this chapter:

utral aymokriya - tree of voices "kehe! ftang nga!" - "no! stop that!" palulukan makto - rider of the Thanator (Neytiri) palulukan - Thanator atokirina - seeds of the tree of souls "aungia lolu, aungia ta Eywa" - "there has been a sign, there was a sign from Eywa"

(3000 words)

-----

Tiya recovered quickly, even better for Quaritch. she was to accompany his squad back into the forest. so they could learn. her ears were flattened down, as she tried to drown out the noise of their monstrous machine that they pushed her in. she thought this machine was too loud to safely navigate the skies of her home, an ikran was far safer and better for scouting. as well as in any other aspect. thinking about her ikran made her sad. 

Zaela and her would join the assaults on the sky peoples machines, scouting from above, or shooting the flying machines out of the sky. her ikran must miss her, ever since Tiya hadn't returned that night after they had rescued the children. Tiya surely missed her, the freedom of flying through the sky, past the mountains. not being restrained, threatened or in pain. 

the machine loudly conversed the skies of her home, and Tiya found herself shifting in her seat to gain a view to the outside. the wind blew in her face, the beads in her hair hit Quaritch in the face, when he grabbed her arm to pull the Na'vi back in her seat.

they were flying to the forest, to the place they had picked her up. the old battlefield.

"let me be absolutely clear, you try anything and we'll shoot you," 

the alien - Miles - told her, as she landed back in he uncomfortable seat, her back hitting the cold material harshly. the Na'vi looked at him, before slightly nodding at his threat. he wasn't all bad, but the others surrounding him were. the humans back in their weird housing, who had tied her to that awful thing. Tiya still had bad dreams from that incident. she wished to visit utral aymokriya, to see her older brother. to ask him for his support. Tsu'tey wouldn't have let this happen, no doubt in her mind. 

the machine neared the forest ground, and she saw the plants flatten to the ground from the airstream, as the few animals fled, clearly disturbed by the sounds of the machine. the aliens lowered themselves to the ground with ropes, which Tiya was no stranger to. it was just a litte harder with restraints around her hands. this was the reason for her only utilising the rope for a short amount of time, before she let go of it and let herself fall to the forest ground, landing in a crouched position. 

Tiya slowly rose back up, straightening herself out as she looked defiantly at the aliens. 

"quite the show," 

she stared at Miles.

"It doesn't work with my hands like this," her answer came as a hiss, as she held her bound, blue wrists before him.

"then you have to learn," he said mockingly, causing the other aliens to laugh. Tiya stared at them, how they held their cold weapons against their oddly dressed bodies. 

Quaritch watched her ears, how they flattened down, and the way her tail whipped. it wasn't his goal to anger her, but it was always so easy. 

"you have to learn! you are aliens, I am Na'vi!"

Tiya snapped, taking a step toward him. 

"I know, I know, I was just joking, sweetheart - here you go," when he pulled his knife, she stepped back again, but not before his alien hand grabbed her forearm and cut through the orange restraints. 

she hissed quietly, rubbing her sore wrists. he was so odd, always trying to make her angry, yet, he wasn't so bad. 

"come on now," he then commanded his other aliens, while keeping Tiya at the front with him. he didn't trust her enough, and knew she would test out some shit sooner or later while they were out here. 

with every step he and his squad took, Tiya clenched her jaw firmer. they were so loud, even children moved quieter than they did. at this rate, the entire forest would soon know that they were here. maybe someone would come to safe her then. it bothered her so much, the way they stomped through the forest, breaking the delicate plants with the things at their feet, disturbing the wild life. 

"for god's sake, can you stop?!" an annoyed alien barked from behind her, grabbing her tail. 

"kehe! ftang nga!" she snapped, slapping his hand away from her tail as she whirled around.

"what's the matter with you two?" Quaritch huffed, pulling Tiya away from Wainfleet, who stared at the man like he had just insulted her entire bloodline.

"no touching!" she snarled at Lyle. 

"then stop whipping your damn tail into my face!" 

Tiya scoffed dismissively.

"he's right, boss, she keeps agitating us," 

Quaritch raised his eyebrows. 

"how old are you? four? get it together! what can you expect from someone like her?" 

he replied, before looking at Tiya.

"you - tell me why you're so on edge," 

her ears flicked in confusion. on edge.

"what?"

"why are you so nervous? your tail!" 

he grabbed her roughly by her braid, pulling her closer. she whined, clawing at the hand that held her queue. 

"you move loud - bad," Tiya hissed. 

his grip loosened from her tail.

"that is why you're here, to teach!"

"you cannot learn," she hissed stubbornly, backing away when he reached for her braid again, only to bump against another alien who threw her back towards him.

"not like this, you move too loud with these things - you move like sky people, not like us,"

Tiya explained quickly, trying to avoid the pain of having his hands pulling at her queue again, as she  gestured at his feet, and curled her lips. 

"then how do Na'vi move?" 

"different,"

"you heard the woman, off with the shoes," 

he stepped out of the boots and pulled his pant leg up, so did his squad, uttering in dissatisfaction. 

Tiya looked around, trying to find a way out. there had to be. 

"come on now, let's walk,"

she hissed when he pushed her forward. the alien watched her, she knew. he would know if she tried to run, and he would shoot. he had done it once already. 

Quaritch watched how she moved. gracefully and so different than they did. it was clear that she knew this forest. she was born here, raised here. that was how she walked. confident. 

they led her to a place she knew. the old battlefield. the barracks, was how Jake called it. the place felt eerie. she didn't like it. never did. the only good thing was how Neytiri had defeated one of the demons here. 

palulukan makto. 

Tiya admired her, she wanted to be like her. she was her mentor, when Tsu'tey couldn't be. Tiya had been on the right path to become a warrior like Neytiri, until the aliens had taken her. they had brought her with their eldest son, to rescue their children. maybe one day, she would become Neteyams mate. though she was a little older than him. Tiya knew that Mo'at liked the idea, so did Neytiri, but she didn't.Tiya wanted to chose her own mate. 

most importantly, she wanted to be free. 

"again, colonel?" one alien asked.

"yes, take a good look at the place. I will care for our prisoner,"

they stopped where arrows stuck out of a sky people machine. Tiya saw the body in it, her tail moving nervously. 

"do you know who this is?" 

"a demon," she snarled. 

the alien grabbed her braid roughly, causing her to whine. 

"this is me"

he growled in her ear. Tiya stared widely at him, then at the wound she'd given him when they had first captured her.

"I am back for Jake Sully, you will help me fulfill the mission,"

"no, demon, I will kill you again,"

she hissed, struggling in his grip. how could he possibly be back? this was not Eywa's doing, so whose was it? the sky people's? it frightened her, how Neytiri had killed him and he had still come back. 

"I like you, you have spirit," 

whenever she revealed her fangs, she reminded him of an animal. a cat, a tiger maybe, definitely something feline. 

Tiya was an animal, like the woman who had killed him. Quaritch could not forget that, even when she had her peaceful moments. 

a loud roar shook them, causing his hands on her queue to loosen as he stared at the animal that came crashing out of the woods. Tiya gasped, her mouth opened slightly and her ears moving nervously. 

palulukan. 

shouting erupted, their loud weapons were aimed at the animal, only making it even more angry. Tiya didn't think twice, she fled. the animal had come for the intruders, it was her chance. the best one she had gotten so far. 

Miles cursed and hissed, reaching for his rifle. but the beast was fast, its skin impenetrable by his bullets. his squad was scattered, some in the old barrack, some before it. it was chaotic.

"retreat!" he yelled, realizing the rifles were not going to help them with the Thanator, as he sprinted into the forest, going the same direction Tiya had ran off in. the beast was unbelievably fast, he didn't know the territory, and they had nothing. he could hear the monster growling behind him, he heard how it trampled over the forest ground. 

the Na'vi had ran off. their only way to Jake. 

Tiya climbed a tree, hiding in the greenery surrounding her. she heard the palulukan attack the aliens. she heard them fight, and then how they retreated into the forest. spreading out like startled  pa'li. her heart was racing beneath her blue skin, when she laid her hand on her chest, while the other one remained on the tree she had pressed herself against. 

she shut her eyes, when she heard footsteps beneath her. Miles, the alien who had captured her! lost, like a child. helpless, because his alien weapons were of no use against a palulukan. Tiya knew he didn't know enough about the forest, about the animals to escape. the beast would get him. his spirit would just drift away, and his body refused by the people and the forest.

it filled her with less satisfaction than she had anticipated.

Tiya followed his movement, pinning her ears down. she did not want to see how he died, but she also didn't want to help him. this was the way, how Eywa restored the balance. from the corners of her eyes she saw a glowing seed slowly sink down, towards his direction. she was stiff, when another one landed on her forearm. 

"atokirina," 

no, it couldn't be? 

Eywa wanted her to go back. she had sent her a sign. the almighty mother always knew. she kept the balance of life. 

now it was on Tiya to help him, even if she didn't want to. she heard the animal approach him, and saw his weapon pointed at it. if he was to shoot, he'd surely be eaten. the palulukan was angry, and hungry. most likely he had lost his territory in the night of the sky people's return, like many other animals. 

Tiya jumped from branch to branch, her tail keeping her balanced until she jumped down besides him. 

"run, alien!" 

she yelled, pushing him roughly into the woods. Tiya felt the animal's movement behind her. he was close, too close. even with her bow she stood no chance against a palulukan. no one really did. 

Quaritch briefly caught a glimpse of her slender body, before she pushed him into the woods, keeping one hand on his back, as they ran through the forest. he had been certain these would be his last moments, but he had planned to take the Thanator with him. now Tiya had a different plan for them.

"faster!" 

she hissed, almost feeling the animals breath on her back, as it hunted them relentlessly.

"jump on the branch there!" Tiya yelled, when they approached the cliff above the river. a few low hanging branches were a good opportunity to climb on the tree, and from there on further up and move back into the forest above ground.

at least he wasn't entirely helpless in that aspect, his avatar body jumping on the branch without greater issue and climbing further up. the fabric of his pants tore when they got stuck on small, sharp pieces of the wood, his vest was little help, but he managed. 

Tiya followed him, until they were high enough above the ground, watching as the palulukan clawed frustratedly at the large tree. Quaritch was impressed by how closely intertwined the tree branches were, it was like a second level above ground. sure it was, it was how Tiya had killed two of his men, by hiding up here. the Na'vi stared at him with her big, yellow eyes, her tail moving from left to right. 

"I told you I could learn,"

"you climb like a baby, alien,"

Tiya answered harshly. 

"is everyone okay?" he used his communication device, while Tiya looked around, her hands brushing over the wood of the tree, as she quietly thanked the great mother for getting out alive. 

"the name is Miles, by the way," Quaritch said, leaning against the thick tree trunk, looking down at the holes on the sides of his cargo pants. 

"I know. you climb like a baby, Miles. use your tail for balance," 

her hands reached for his tail, pulling it slightly. 

"your clothes, they are odd, no good for climbing," Tiya judged, now brushing over her own loincloth. it might have been in need of washing, but it was still far more practical than whatever the aliens wore. 

"'s that why you wear none?" he retorted mockingly, looking down at her traditional Na'vi clothing. what she wore around her chest couldn't even be considered clothing, more like a large necklace that she seemed to put a whole lot of trust in, to keep her covered up. However, he highly doubted that Na'vi saw their bodies the same way humans did, if so, they wouldn't walk around like this.

Tiya moved her tail in a dismissive manner, and jumped on a tree branch besides them.

"you're still my prisoner," he hissed, trying to grab her.

"your people are dead or wounded, you don't know this forest. I am not a prisoner," 

she hissed back at him. 

"get back -"

when he reached for her, she lunged forwards to jump at him, aiming to throw the unthankful alien down the tree. 

"go away!"

Tiya snarled, as one last warning. his name sounded different with her accent. quite beautiful, given no one ever called him that.

"don't make me shoot you again," Quaritch said, reaching for his remaining weapon.

but to his surprise her eyes had left his, staring up, somewhere in the air. like she was in trance or something. with her mouth slightly agape and her ears pinned forwards, she stood still as a statue. 

"atokirina," Tiya whispered, watching the seed sink between them slowly.

"now what the hell is that?" Quaritch scoffed, reaching for whatever flying insect this was, earning quite an intense reaction from Tiya. 

"kehe! atokirina!" 

she grabbed his hand, leaving whatever thing that was to slowly land on her hand that held his. he saw her ears move slightly, her yellow eyes widened in awe. it must have been one of these odd Na'vi customs or something.

"aungia lolu, aungia ta Eywa,"

Tiya did not let go of his hand, until the thing flew away, as slowly as it had landed. Quaritch worried he might have contracted some illness from this, he still had no idea what this was all about. 

"speak English," he huffed at her, and to his surprise, she moved back towards him. her entire body language suddenly a lot less hostile than before. 

"Colonel?" Quaritch recognized Lyle speaking in his headset. 

"status, Lyle," 

"three injured, two severely, no casualties as far as I can see, but we are - hopelessly lost," 

he sighed, and Tiya saw his distress from the way his tail moved. 

"I have the prisoner at least, stay together and move to an open spot, try to climb the trees," 

his command came, as Tiya glanced back up in the sky, remaining besides him, even though she had the chance to flee. no, Eywa had sent a sign, twice.

"understood, boss. we have already sent an SOS to the base, but I am not sure it went through," Lyle explained. 

"I wouldn't get my hopes up to get out of here before nightfall, do you have any equipment at all?" 

"negative, boss, and that thing - could very well return,"  

Quaritch looked at Tiya. surely she knew her way around and could have an idea to find the others. the least she could do was teach him.

"stay safe, climb the trees if necessary, I will work something out," 

"understood, boss," 

his ears were pinned down, Tiya could tell he was upset. she would, too, if her people were lost in a place they didn't know. even though she hated the aliens, she felt bad. even Eywa had pity with them. him, at least.

"where is everyone?" she asked carefully, looking curiously at him. her now so gentle voice was a nice contrast to their fighting that had been going on for the entire trip. he had barely processed that the Na'vi had actually saved his life. technically, she had paid her debt. 

"I don't know, some are injured badly. they will need medical attention," 

Tiya recognized the firmness in his voice, like an Olo'eyktan speaking about his warriors. she tilted her head to the side, hesitating to answer. 

"I can fly, look for them and bring you there," 

she suggested hesitantly. 

he met her gaze, for once they didn't fight. in the forest she looked a lot more like she belonged. her blue skin not as pale, and her ears moving attentively. it was where she belonged, was it where he belonged? Tiya was not bad, she was not like other Na'vi. she had rescued him, when she could have just ran off. now she stood here, too. offering to help him find his people, after all they had done to her. 

"fly?" 

"my ikran, Zaela," 

right. the banshees. that was actually not a bad idea.

"why are you helping me? you threatened to kill me barely an hour ago, confused little thing, aren't you?" 

his hand wrapped around her neck. not firm, but uncomfortable enough. Tiya didn't even flinch, her eyes remained on his face. there was no fear, not even hatred. 

"Eywa wants me to teach you," 

[bucketofcowboys]

I'm reading Dreaming of Pink (just reached chapter 3!!) And I'm so glad you mentioned your Tumblr!! I was going to ask about it once I finished reading it (oh ohh this fic is so gorgeous!!) your writing is lovely!!! Also! Very happy to see you're also into batjokes!! Batjokes was literally my first otp and I never got over it (and I see many similarities between them and kazumaji, guess that was what drew me in 💖) I'd like to ask, as a newbie to the Yakuza fandom some fics you really enjoy? (so I can read after I finish yours!!) Oh and that aren't really spoiler y (I just finished kiwami and started playing 0) thank you 💖💖

Oh my god you're literally so sweet dhdjsk ❤️❤️

I'm sorry this took me a little while to respond to I've just been busy today but I'm so glad you like the fic. It's good to know people still read it even though it's been a year :)

Also kazumaji is a 1000% the reason why I'm so into batjokes! They have very similar dynamics. Not exactly the same (one is a bit more tame than the other) but the fact that Mark Hamill voiced both Joker and Majima really says something...

My biggest recommendations (all kazumaji because I don't know what other ships you're into):

Some of my favorite authors are Lolu, celadon_dreams, itsybitsylemonsqueezy and Schweinehund. I'd recommend looking through all their works and finding whatever works for you :)

Lolu has some amazing multichapter fics. My favorite is Tommorow Never Knows. It only involves yakuza 0 and 1 and it's so packed with action and romance. It's lovely.

The Wanting Weeks is another multichapter fic that I absolutely love. It's made by Somntaim (who sadly only ever made one fic even though their writing is LOVELY)

One of my all time favorite Goromi fics is absolutely old flames (can't hold a candle to you) by theirins

I probably have waaay more recommendations, but I can't think of them rn haha. Thank you so much for reading my fic though and I hope you like these recommendations :]

Fairy Tail Arc Tier List

You know the drill. We're going from best to worst. (I'm not doing the sequel arcs, because I'm not sure how I feel about some of them.)

Bottom Tier

Alvarez Empire arc

This arc overall feels like Mashima couldn't wait to end the story and go on to something else. Wouldn't you guess, that's not too far from the truth. It doesn't have enough high notes to redeem itself.

Galuna Island arc

Longtime followers of me know that I'm not a fan of this arc. This arc exists to start dealing with the ever-frustrating Deliora situation. Almost nothing else in the arc has to happen as it does.

Low Tier

Daphne arc

I don't hate it as much as the rest of the fandom seems to, but I'm not putting this on any pedestal. This might be one of the best Gruvia arcs. I mean that unironically.

x791 arc

This arc is just kind of there, in canon. Though, that's not without reason. 

Loke arc

One of the most important of the Lucy-centric arcs. This would be higher if I was higher on Lolu. Or Lucy.

Mid Tier

Eclipse arc

I've said this is one of the best arcs to place fanfiction for the series in. The difference is that this fanfiction has the canon backing of Mashima's approval.

Lullaby arc

This would be a better arc if Mashima was willing to kill Kageyama.

Zero arc

This arc would jump to at least a tier higher if the whole Zera situation wasn't a thing. This serves as an excellent origin story for Fairy Tail. Unfortunately, Zera is a thing that we can't ignore.

Key of the Starry Sky arc

The best of the anime arcs is middle of the road? That's better than a lot of series can say. Though, the idea of Michelle and the neo-Oracion Seis are better than large portions of the two arcs in the bottom tier.

Macao arc

The one that started it all. Fairy Tail has plenty of short arcs, huh? This was a great introduction to the guild and the main characters.

Tartarus arc

Did you know this was when Fairy Tail got dark? In all seriousness, this arc changed how we view the rest of the series, both before and after it. We're still seeing the outworkings of this arc in the sequel.

Oracion Seis arc

I mean, it's the Wendy arc? I'm not hyped over this arc or the characters it introduces, outside of Wendy. We got some great songs out of it in the anime, so there's that.

Phantom Lord arc

I don't know that fans recognize how important this arc was. Not just cementing Lucy as a Fairy Tail guild member. Not just establishing several fan-favorite characters. This arc set the tone for the rest of the series. 

Fantasia arc

This was a fun arc with many cool twists. I like Laxus as a character and he's fun to see as an antagonist. Some of the best versions of many characters. Gray was done dirty, though.

High Tier

Sun Village arc

This is higher than others might expect. There aren't too many other arcs that are as much fun as this one, from start to finish. One of my most popular posts on this website involves this post.

Grand Magic Games arc

This one is lower than others might expect. There are two parts to this arc: fighting other guilds and the Festival of the Dragon King. If the arc was about just one, it might be top tier. Instead, we got this.

Tenrou Island arc

There's quite a lot going on in this arc. The S-Class trials, the battle against Grimoire Heart, and the formal introduction of both main antagonists. One of the best arcs from the jump to manga to anime.

Top Tier

Edolas arc

Speaking of arcs the anime improved, this marked my reintroduction to the anime. Outside of its sentimental value, I love this arc. It marks a turning point for the series.  

Daybreak arc

This was the arc that sold Fairy Tail for me. Honestly, I'm not an anime fan without this arc. It's still crazy how different Natsu and Lucy are from this arc. And yet, it's the beginning of their partnership.

Avatar arc

Why don't more people like this arc? This might be the purest version of Fairy Tail rolled into one arc. The stretch from chapter 430 to the end of the arc is one of my favorite in the series. It would be the best, but...

Tower of Heaven arc

This might be the only arc I'd say ranks comfortably among Mashima's best arcs ever. Its ripple effects can be felt throughout the series. Even the ending after Mashima planned was amazing.

That does it for FT Month! See you!

29, 35, 38 for the writing questions? :o

((Sorry I didnt get to these right away))

29)  If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Theres so many drabbles I think I’d want to write the follow up for, like a lot of ot4 drabbles and Ninoir ficlets. I’m bad at remembering titles, I don’t read much fanfiction I just write it. Uhh there are definitely stories by Tides that I’d write before and afters to cause they are so fun. Also a Lolu fic i cant remember the name of. Probably something by @seasonofthegeek I think, though I’d have to go through their list to pick one. Definitely one by them

35)  Would you ever kill off a canon character?

Absolutely, if it was called for or if it was a natural conclusion. The intention was for me to kill off Fu, gently and at peace but I never wrote his death. But one of the mains i’m not sure, because you’d have to address the after without them, and I don’t usually write stories for those hurtful parts. I like to leave pain to be imagined because it comes naturally for some people, but I always walk people through the happiness and the content quiet and the security cause then if I tell you all about it you can feel it you know, haha. 

38)  Talk about a review that made your day.

Hot damn there are so so many... there are so many that meant the world to me. I remember kindness whenever it was expressed when I was really unsure of myself. Like long thought out reviews on the Monster in the Room give me so much hope and carry me through the whole day, because I doubt that story the most and also believe in it the most. I want to write an original novel just like it, so I have hope that maybe if the fic succeeds so will I (unrelated and lame though that may be lol) so when people talk about how that story is compelling or intriguing and descrpitive like, those ones stick with me. @samantha-girlscout ‘s kindness comes to mind, as well as yours actually dude! Many people went out of their way to compliment the atmosphere and the difference from my regular style, and when people compliment that story it feels to me the most like people focusing on the writing and not just the romances and what not. Which is good too im not diminishing either, but what i mean is that TMiTR is more about the writing style, and stories like Rainy Days and Secret Santa are more about the pre-established romance in the show. So those long, english class review like comments i got on TMiTR and the last chapter of Won’t Tell a Soul? Mean everything to me, haha

Fairy tail 533 Color page and Cover Spoilers

Okay so our new chapter’s color page includes this big two page color thing taking about love while images of various FT couples are on the screen. While I’m not one to bitch about ships in the manga, I have one problem with this.

These big 4 ships and other like Elfever and Zervis I get. Regardless of how I feel about these ships I am aware of which ships are pretty much leaned in favor of, but the one I’m going to complain about, is Miraxus.

Does this just feel like it comes out of nowhere? I mean I know this ship exists but it’s mainly touched upon in fanon not as much in canon. The most interaction we’ve gotten out of Mira and Laxus comes from way early in the series where Laxus basically was a dick to her, but now apparent it being pushed by canon? Does that just seem odd to you? I mean since Cana and Gildarts is there it’s possible you can make the argument that it’s friendship based but c’mon, you see why I’m confused here.

Also, this is probably bad timing but the cover page is the Loke arc. Y’know the arc that started Lolu. A ship that happen very early on and was very open about romantic feelings And you include it in the same chapter that has these pages that pretty much say “sorry buddy this is end game’. This seems very dickish.
