Fairy Tail/Edens Zero blog - Ships: Pretty much anything, but chiefly NaLuLi, Chendy, Weisz x Rebecca, Shiki x Homura

The Lisanna hate is dumb (shipping wise)

Look, I can understand if you dont like her for the writing. The writers honestly fumbled with her in my opinion. If you dislike her over that, its valid and reasonable.

But to hate her over a ship is kinda overboard.

People act as if Lisanna is gonna tear Lucy and Natsu apart while twirling her evil mustache and shit. In reality, girl literally doesn't do anything after she is brought back. Shes just living her life. I dont think Lisanna is gonna kill Lucy to get to Natsu or do something malicious.

Lisanna is just a nerd who likes animals and is sweet, not a malicious Lucy killer who wants Natsu to herself.

Sorry, but NaLus don’t get to complain about Lisanna hate when your species actively spreads Lisanna hate.

i lowkey wish mashima did more with lisannas character😭esp after going through the trouble of bringing her back

like it lowkey felt underwhelming esp thinking about it from the guild’s perspective… everyone thought this girl was dead for years and now we’re just moving past it like oh okay 🤍

[ether-gearhead]

Sorry, but NaLus don’t get to bitch about Lisanna being sidelined when NaLus are the LITERAL FUCKING REASON Lisanna was sidelined! It’s this EXACT FUCKING LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS that disqualifies NaLus as human beings!

It low-key kills me how much y’all hated Lisanna back in the day, like I’ll never forget her being the villain in all these fanfics or the edits of Elfman’s takeover rocking her shit 😭 and FOR WHAT LOL

As someone that loves Nalu she was literally never a threat to them, she’s actually extremely supportive of them??? Here’s her acknowledging their bond by telling Lucy to stay close to Natsu bc he is stronger when he’s around people he loves and trusts.

Obviously Lisanna and Natsu were close when they were little, and she really enjoyed teasing him too but they were also literal children so idk why people felt so weird about they’re wholesome little bond or like it was a threat to Natsu and Lucy’s bond as adults? 😭

ALSO something that I don’t see mentioned is Lisanna probably knew for awhile the kind of bond Lucy and Natsu would grow into because after she “died” and was in Edolas, she met Edolas Lucy before Earthland Lucy… which means she probably already had an idea that Natsu and Lucy would be close. (also further proof that it was always going to nalu in the end, bc in all universes they really do end up together)

At the Grand Magic games when everyone is trying to find someone to partner up with, only for Lucy to end up crashing into Natsu (ultimately pairing them together) and Lisanna giggles. It’s obvious to me that she finds them cute and humorous together. Like she’s a supportive sweetheart and you guys need to be a lot nicer to her character 😂 also Hiro Mashima has literally mentioned at his panels that Lisanna is way too nice of a girl for Natsu and I AGREEEE. Natsu and Lucy‘s banter and chaotic energy together is literally what makes them so great together and a fan favorite, and clearly Lisanna ships it too

Lastly, I’ve also seen people say that they hate her bc she didn’t add anything to the story once she got brought back. Like yes, Hiro Mashima brought her back and didn’t do much for her character BUT that still doesn’t make sense to me for that to be a reason to hate her for that…that seems silly to me

Don’t get me wrong I can understand the frustration of bringing her back bc I do feel like it takes away from the whole point of loss and living with it and how that shaped Elfman, MiraJane, and Natsu (I mean unfortunately Natsu still learns this lesson with Igneel later on so…) but also why can’t yall just be happy that Elfman and MiraJane have their lil sibling back and can be a trio again like DAMN lol

Anyway this is just my perspective, at the end of the day ship who ever you guys want! I was just coming from the perspective of trying to understand why Lisanna always got so much hate and it always felt people just simply didn’t like her bc they viewed her as “competition” towards Lucy but it never gave that 😭 Mashima intentionally never wrote a love triangle between them but somehow the fandom created one anyway 😂

Rest assured Lucy and Natsu have always been okay and Lisanna is doing just fine as well lmao

Well, lookie-lookie here! Yet another NaLu trying to gaslight us about Tenrou Island! The words Lisanna ACTUALLY said to Lucy (say it with me!):

“Make sure you always stand by Natsu’s side! When the friends he trusts are by his side, Natsu gets even stronger!”

FRIENDS HE TRUSTS, PEOPLE!!! Meaning ERZA!!! Meaning GRAY!!! Meaning WENDY!!! Meaning HAPPY!!! And IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS SCENE IN PARTICULAR, ALSO MEANING LUCY!!! But of course, you hold up Stone Age as some romantic ideal to aspire to, so I can’t count on your primitive cognitive abilities here!

[ether-gearhead]

Hot take incoming: I’ve never seen an actual episode of Solo Leveling, but everything I’ve ever seen of it just screams “generic” to me. Once again, this is just a surface level take, I can probably be convinced to change my mind.

[ether-gearhead]

“Waaah, womin iz treated better then man! My fragile MAGA haaaart!”

Never change, r/PokemonMasters!

Leak stuff under the cut:

Not that BallGuy deserves the time of day after the Z-A reveal, but I saw this, and thought: “Hey, there’s this Seed Pokemon, there’s a sun motif he’s associating with Milcery, and it’s interesting that neither of the titles are sun-related.” Like, Charizard, Ho-oh, Groudon, Reshiram, Solgaleo, and Koraidon all have something to do with the sun, even if they just get stronger in harsh sunlight. So I’m thinking Windychu and Wavychu are indeed the third Legendary that BallGuy is hinting at, presumably a Grass/Electric-type based on the sun/solar power that has a gender difference of some sort, rather than the box Legendaries we assumed them to be. Which, I guess makes sense, it’d be too obvious for the tanned Pikachus to be the Legendaries. And come to think of it, box Legends never have genders attached to them, do they? I guess Solgaleo and Lunala are called male and female Cosmog respectively, but even then they have no gender while still Cosmog and Cosmoem. Plus there’s also the speculation of Zacian being Zamazenta’s older sister. Meanwhile, Terapagos has genders, even though the one in Area Zero is always male, so it makes infinitely more sense that Windychu and Wavychu are this Seed Pokemon than the actual Box Legendaries. But why Milcery, though? Do you spin the control stick to evolve the Seed? I guess if we’re talking tornadoes, we do…

Honestly? Neo Champion Kris would’ve been the perfect time to pull the trigger on adding Mega Dragonite to the game (since Lance probably isn’t getting it unless he uses one of his two “lesser” Dragonites, meaning the ones that don’t form his arc suit pair). Give her Buddy versions of Draco Meteor to satisfy its Dragon-typing, and versions of Thunder and Fire Blast to set up Electric Terrain for Raikou and sun for Entei. Make her a Fielder so Dragon Zone sets up on her sync, and if you were so inclined, make one of her passives set up Electric Terrain AND sun at once on the first sync (though they’re probably better off saved for the grid)!

Say it with me, nephews: Victor will get his next alt when the Reddit fuckbois stop WHINING for it!

It feels odd to me that we never got to battle Sonia. Like, she doesn’t even need to be hard, just a once a day thing like in most Pokemon games! So I figured I’d take a stab at giving her a team:

Ninjask: Her lead. I have no rhyme or reason behind it, I just think Protect/Speed Boost/Baton Pass is a strat more in-game Trainers should be using.

Corviknight: The anime supports this.

Arcanine: Specifically a male Arcanine. Yes, this is important.

Drednaw: Notice that Nessa uses both a male and a female Drednaw in different battles. This is not a mistake, as the male Drednaw comes back in Nessa’s postgame Max Raid. So I imagine Nessa gave her a Chewtle Egg at some point.

Boltund: Her Dynamax Pokemon, and it’s female, unlike her Yamper, which implies the latter was bred from the former.

And of course, Yamper’s her sixth. I wanted to give her the Applin evolution Milo doesn’t have (meaning Appletun in Sword and Flapple in Shield), but I figured Ninjask was good for her relatively slow team. Also, Tsareena’s off the table because Masters specifically gives her a shiny one, and in-game Trainers generally don’t have shinies.

Listen, I love Waluigi as much as the next guy, but if the goal in creating him was to give Wario a partner, then wouldn’t redesigning Foreman Spike be the common sense way to go, considering they redesigned Daisy? I guess then Spike doesn’t become Luigi’s rival, but still!

Leakers are goddamn clowns, man! Khu’s saying no news this year with LITERALLY NO BASIS EXCEPT WHAT THEY DID FOR Z-A, Ball Guy’s trying to pass off a scrapped beta design from the fucking SPACEWORLD DEMO as the new regional bird, and Centro insists we’re seeing at least one Gen 10 Pokemon in the anime, which INHERENTLY CONTRADICTS KHU’S CLAIM SINCE THAT TECHNICALLY COUNTS AS NEWS!!!

Fun fact: I used to pronounce the Nacli line as “salt,” considering NaCl is salt on the periodic table. So Salti, Saltstack, and Gargasalt. That last one is relevant because when I first saw Garganacl, pronouncing it as written didn’t make sense to me, but Salti and Saltstack did, so I clung to Gargasalt, because “gargantuan” + “assault” + “salt” was what made sense to me. It wasn’t until I discovered what a tabernacle was that the whole naming scheme clicked with me. Keep in mind, I played Red and Blue when they were still new. So yeah, that’s… kind of embarassing!

[ether-gearhead]

Oh…!

…Oh!

I just realized! If Wonder Voyage is cycling through the spinoffs, (GO, UNITE, Sleep, and apparently Pokopia), does that mean we’re getting Liko, Roy, and Dot in Masters?!? That would SUCK, dude! Three presumably Master Fairs that DeNA will never be allowed to run again!

Hot take: If the outcomes of Pokemon battles (the primary thing you do with pokemon) are more significantly influenced by EV training and selective breeding than friendship values, then the theme of friendship is either more superficial than Corrin realizes or just badly implemented.

[ether-gearhead]

But more importantly, why hasn’t Luvdisc Ice Beamed Salamence to death if it’s been doing Dragon Dance up to this point?

[ether-gearhead]

One of these days I want to write a fic where Natsu and Lisanna announce their relationship and Lucy more or less throw herself at Bickslow on the rebound and see the NaLus melt the fuck down over subjecting Lucy to the same plot Lisanna goes through in LITERALLY EVERY BIXANNA FIC EVER.

Something that just dawned on me: Twinrova stated they were 800 years old, so if there's really one male Gerudo born every 100 years, then they've probably raised multiple generations of Ganondorf, if not by that specific name. Did they spur those other young Ganondorfs on to practice magic? To conquer Hyrule? Were they every bit as corrupt as Koume and Kotake would have them be? Were they even respected in greater Hyrule once upon a time? You know what? That's what I'd like the Zelda movie to explore, the first Ganondorf Twinrova raised.

Who am I kidding, we all know it's gonna be fucking Ocarina of Time again...

[ether-gearhead]

And just like that, my month is basically free, since I am NOT pulling for those godawful Special Costume pairs!
