#like don't get me wrong i think silver unconnected to gray is fine

[icemde]

I'm sure I'll write a full fledge headcanon about Silver later, but if you've spoken to me ooc like, ever, you've probably already heard this rant from me before but this is me formally putting it on my blog ( at least in an informal way )

I do not like the fact that Silver is Gray's father. I absolutely hate what it does to Gray's character from tartarous going forward and it's so... so goddamn messy and poorly thought out.

Silver as a character is fine. fundamentally I have no problems with Silver. My problems lie with Silver appearing out of fucking nowhere as Gray's father and Gray's entire character goal swinging violently to match Silver's goal and just ??? NO?!?! Up until this point in the story Gray has had little no mention of his parents or any lingering feelings towards them. Like, we know they died during the Deliora attack and that's it. Besides their death, Gray's parents were of little to no concern about Gray's story or development. But you know what adult has had an important impact on Gray's life and his character as a whole?

FUCKING UR !!!

Silver is brought in and Gray is forced to take on his mission of killing END because there needs to be Drama between Gray and Natsu during the final arc and let's ignore the fact that it's character assassination, Gray's doing it for his Father who he has NEVER ONCE BROUGHT UP BEFORE THIS.

Silver is FINE as a character but he murder's Gray's entire character motivations because Gray suddenly becomes obsessed with carrying out his Father's wish when literally the 7+ arcs before this Gray could have genuinely given less of a shit.

Anyways, this is a long, ranting way of me saying I DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE SILVER BEGIN GRAY'S FATHER ON THIS BLOG. I have a few idea's as to how I can still have Gray be after END without it revolving around him becoming obsessed with his father ( might actually tweak an idea from one of the video games but that's for anther time ) but yeah. Silver isn't Gray's father. I'm fine writing with Silver's that acknowledge Gray as their son and can work with that, but like, in all other situations... Silver isn't his dad.
