Because Tumblr user @sharlettehatesmiasma just HAD to go and prove itself a prime fucking example of why NaLus and MAGAs are fundamentally one and the same, now I gotta write a whole-ass essay just to keep her from shouting over me (incidentally a favorite MAGA tactic as well)! This is gonna need a cut, isn’t it?

By the way, this is all in the context of our prior conversation, so it may not exactly make sense. So yeah, this needed a cut anyway. I feel better about that at least.

“Lmao Lucy never tried any seduction tricks with Natsu. The dolls Hakune made were pretty much acting like what they act around Natsu(except nakedness). Lisanna used to tease Natsu about getting married, Erza always talks about taking bath together, Wendy said Natsu was her big bro and then we have Lucy who never ever showed this much obvious feelings for Natsu(totally opposite, she always denies). That's what I'm saying lol. Hakune's magic is known to all so that doesn't Have confusion at all. The difference in our points are solely based on what we think about that thing or what we wanna see.”

Obviously she’s never tried to seduce Natsu, but she’s tried seduction around him before. In fact, I’m surprised Lucy’s doll didn’t repeat “We’ll be together forever, right?” But the fact she went straight for seduction makes me think, at least compared to everyone else, that all else aside, Natsu’s view of Lucy is more sexual than with the other girls, which I guess is a point for NaLu

“Well the pseudo marriage thing Idk really. I mean ofc I would also value the moments spent with my childhood friend(romatically or not). He values his friends more than his life. But I mean, Natsu being interested in 2 girls just doesn't sit with me well lol. He really doesn't have any clear concept about love as you said. That's what prevented Hakune from bringing the real love intetest from within his mind. For Gray, it was utterly clear so Hakune brought Juvia but We're talking about a dumbass hero here lol.”

So friendship has nothing to do with it, yet he values his friends more than his life?! Which is it?! And by the way, you’re flip-flopping on Hakune’s power again! Is it a love interest or just women he’d die for?! No concept of consistency whatsoever, yet another shared hallmark of NaLus and MAGAs!

The fact that you dismiss Natsu as a “dumbass hero

Ooh, hey, I can go back to this now!

“How does this have to do anything with friendship theme?! I mean it would've made sense if he left the letter for entire team Natsu after Tartarus battle, if he had gone to the other members of team Natsu after defeating Acnologia or if he had told "we'll be together forever to Gray, Erza or Wendy" lol. And I already said if Mashima wants to go on a Kishimoto route, which means turning tables on the fanbase then he definitely should start NaLi development rn. I mean Something solid which will make Natsu think that he's in love with Lisanna instead of Lucy.”

Of course Lucy was the only one who’d get a letter! Gray had END to worry about, Wendy was in the same boat he was, and assuming she could read his handwriting, Erza would just storm after him and drag him back herself! But that’s what happens when you condition yourself to not register anything non-NaLu-related, I guess.

And Natsu didn’t “go” to Lucy after defeating Acnologia! He just fell right out onto her from the Space Between Time! Gaslighting’s another thing you guys have in common with the MAGAs, by the way.

Also, if you’re type of person to think Gray, Erza, or Wendy doesn’t know they’re stuck with Natsu all the way by this point, you’re probably not the type of person who can capably dress themselves. I’ll thank you not to use others as your mouthpieces a la MAGA, by the way.

“And about Natsu having interest in 2 girls. I'm not being rude to you bc we have different choices and I don't wanna argue with someone while discussing a simple topic. But that doesn't really mean I can't be rude.”

A boy who doesn't understand love can't be intetested in 2 girls. And Natsu waiting for the moment Lisanna/Lucy makes a move on him also seems off bc that means he's willingly pulling the act of dense dumbass boy. That's all.”

The fact that you dismiss Natsu as a “dense dumbass boy” tells me NOTHING ABOUT NATSU IN 545 CHAPTERS OF FAIRY TAIL HAS REGISTERED WITH YOU WHATSOEVER!!!” As a dense dumbass boy myself, lemme walk you through some things.

You’re eleven years old. You raise an egg with this girl you know. While warming the egg, she starts teasing you about her being your wife. You get embarrassed about it, but you actually like the idea a little.

The egg hatches, and you and the girl start playing house with the hatchling. You’re the daddy, she’s the mommy. All is well for four years, until she dies in an accident on the job, and maybe you wanted her to be your wife for real after all.

A couple years later, you meet a girl in a harbor town while searching for your missing father figure. Turns out she wants to work where you just so happen to work, so you bring her home with you. As time goes by and you start to work together, you realize she makes you feel the same way your lost pseudo-wife did, and suddenly, everything is okay again, for the first time in two years.

And then, circumstances conspire, and you learn that the girl you thought dead is very much alive. You take care of all your business with the people who took her in, and everyone celebrates her safe return home.

But there’s a problem. Your new co-worker still makes you feel that same way your pseudo-wife did. What’s more, your pseudo-wife still makes you feel that way today. You know precious little about boy meeting girl, but you do know from your pseudo-wife’s sister and her gentle reminders to your older co-worker who likes to flirt with her that he has a wife at home that you’re not supposed to feel that way about two different girls.

You don’t want either girl to hate you for admitting how the other girl makes you feel. So you put it out of your head for now, and focus on earning a promotion at work.

This is the tale of a dense dumbass boy in love, despite being too much of a dense, dumbass boy to know what that even is.
