Being an avid Fairy Tail fan enough to claim it as your favorite anime, is really sucky ngl. And its got nothing to do with the quality of the series. Its because no one will accept that you actually are fond of it and they will ALWAYS compare it to One Piece. I have 4 brothers, 3 got into One Piece at the same time and I kid you not, there was a fanservice moment in the Wano arc and one of them literally said something like "Yea Fairy Tail has way too much of that. Fairy Tail is sh**" WHILE WATCHING A MOMENT IN THE ANIME HE LOVES. Now I'm not going to lie, I binged One Piece and I really really enjoy it. Is it better than Fairy Tail? Maybe. Is it ever going to replace Fairy Tail for me? Not a chance.

See there are things that set FT apart from other popular main stream Shonen. And one of those is the battles and what the story values. One Piece is about the adventure and puts a big focus on Luffy kicking his enemies asses alongside his crew. Its lore driven and honestly has some pretty intense and dark themes. FT has all this too maybe not the lore too much but everything else for sure. The difference is that FT puts a much larger emphasis on Friendship and family and the power that having those you treasure by your side holds. And it is the central focus of every moment in that series.

That is why I adore and treasure this series. The idea of a whole Guildhall full of people who would otherwise be perfect strangers joining together into a one big family under the same emblem, regardless of blood relation or past history and accepting any orphan that needs a place to call home has always touched my heart. As someone who struggles A LOT to make any kind of lasting bonds in life Fairy Tail reached me and has been so important to me. And no one can take that away from me. I don't give a crap about what the female characters are wearing or their impossible body proportions. It's anime. That has never mattered and people who adore One Piece have no room to complain about that. I don't give a crap if the fights are subpar to you or if so and so anime did it better. FT has never been a primarily action based fighter series. The story and the character development and the journey of finding a place to belong has always been at the forefront of Fairy Tail. And those epic battles are all driven by the guild's desire to protect their family. By whatever means nessacary.

There are moments, that bring me to tears of happiness, sadness and nostalgia. I laugh with my favorite characters, and I feel their pain when they are wronged. And that is constant everytime I rewatch this series. Fairy Tail is also probably the only 200+ episode and 500+ chapter series that I have both reread, and rewatched several times over. I've been a fan for 10 years now. Since 2013 when I first got into it and had so little opportunities to even continue it and wasn't able to fully enjoy and eventually complete the series until months after it ended. Ever since I started it, I was a devoted fan and searched for any possible way to see even more of my favorite guild's adventures.

I'm rambling at this point, but this was on my mind and I just really really wanted to put my thoughts into words.

Fairy Tail fans, if you are reading this, never be ashamed of your love for this story, and remember all the reasons it touched your heart.

You know what I realized playing "What in Hell is Bad" is that I really adore the character variety.

"Obey Me" has you consistently deal with like 12-15 characters that are the same faces everyday and you feel very closeted or locked in to that group but this game has variety and the designs go hard:

Like every character is distinct and fun and you're not subjected to a few you get to see all of the demons roaming around; Granted they're crazy as shit and their designs be uhm.... Interesting- But like I don't feel stuck with one I feel like I'm meeting many

I love it!

I will say, Catherine Todd dying of an overdose is the first thing we learn about her after Bruce goes looking through clinic records in I believe Batman (1940) #409, or #408, right after Jason's post crisis intro. Her being "conventionally" sick is something that's added on later, I don't remember if they specified cancer. I personally don't consider making her sick a retcon to her being an addict because "sick/in pain person turning to street drugs after falling through the cracks of the American healthcare system" is basically the story of modern American addiction, like thats the opioid epidemic in a nutshell

I think Kenjaku should switch bodies or that we see more variety and depth of the bodies they had in the past because why introduce a bodysnatcher into your story if they stay in the same body for 99.99% of the story and barely even change design from the original vessel (the Takaba fight satisfied me a bit in that regard but I'm still salty that not even a black hole could make Gege change Kenjaku's character design even a little bit)

OOC. Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around for a whole while already, but I'm officially putting this blog on hiatus until further notice, or hopefully until mid-November.

As much as I want to be here and on discord, there's unfortunately a lot of documents (and bills) I need to handle for me, my siblings, and my dad while I'm in New York, especially with my dad's growing inability to see. It's a lot to do—-especially since I'm not used to doing any of these things. Hopefully I'll be able to come back after a month or two, though.

I hope y'all take care until then!

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore

Also something something the original sin of Kendall corrupting Roman as a child and Logan passing his sickness onto Rose.

read a random comment in passing about how nobody in their 30s should have anything in common with a 19/20 year old unless they've been locked in a basement, and i have to tell you, besties, as someone whose life ended at 19 with mostly housebound severe chronic illness, i laughed an ironically tragic laugh. clearly they have not heard about the girl who got frozen
