bath time

Natsu: Oh no! Lucy is with one of the Spriggans!

*rushes to Lucy's house*

Natsu: Hmm? Who's in the bath?

*OPENS DOOR*

*finds Lucy and Brandish naked in the tub*

Lucy: N-N- NATSU!?

Brandish: yo

Natsu: ... *slowly unwraps bandage*

Guys stop

Look, I know where you are coming from. I don’t want Lucy used as Ms. Fanservice again. I’m sick of hearing Lucy haters bash on her for that. I love my star queen and I am so proud of her for coming such a long way because she really has grown but I do think you guys are waaayyyy overreacting. Can we at least see how this chapter goes down? You guys got a title. A title. And you start freaking out and hating Mashima. If it turns out that Lucy is going to be kidnapped or abused, go ahead and freak the fuck out. I'll join you because Lucy isn't some princess that needs saving. She is a queen that can fight for herself. But if it doesn't then you guys need to chill out. Just wait and see. Believe in Steven Mashima.

Fairy Tail Ch. 456

I’m late to the party but anyway.

1. HAPPY KNOWS EVERYBODY! HE SEES THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! HAPPY IS US!

2. Warren and Max tho. BrOTP for life.

3. Brandish, what the actually fuck? You’re so weird. Still think you’re the best tho. But seriously, what? Just imagine them having a nice chat while bathing together. Wait. That’s actually cute. Oh no…

4. MIRAJANE. FREAKING MIRAJANE. SO CUTE OMG.

5. Okay, now everyone wants to hate on Mashima for chapter 457? Guys, Fairy Tail has had fanservice since the beginning. For girls and guys alike. You guys like Fairy Tail don’t you? Mashima has made it an amazing story from the beginning, hasn’t he? He knows what he’s doing. He has a reason for it. I know he’s going to make this story great, just please trust him. I understand that can service may bother you at times, me myself, I’m not the biggest fan of it either but you knew from the beginning that it was something that came with Fairy Tail. Just accept it or stop reading. Don’t hate on Mashima for it.

Overall: LUCY, GO GIRL! FIGHT AND WIN!

Here are my thoughts on Lucy and Brandish, both in this chapter and the fight coming up:

- Brandish may be a psychopathic bitch, but she’s enormously powerful psychopathic bitch.

- Lucy being who she is, chose the lesser of two evils, considering crazy girl could flatten her and Magnolia in .0005 seconds.

- Brandish being in Lucy’s home is a fantastic strategy on her part, entering her comfort zone and making her feel powerless.

- Speaking of making Lucy feel powerless in her own home: Yes, Lucy’s getting naked. AGAIN. But I don’t see it as fanservice, not as much this time than other times (but if it is, I don't care, cause it's Mashima's series, he can do what he wants with it). Because she does it on Brandish’s orders that if she refuses she’ll destroy everyone in Magnolia before she can even blink (and she totally could).

- It is, again, an excellent move on Brandish’s part. Making Lucy FEEL vulnerable and literally BE vulnerable. It’s psychological warfare at its finest.

-This fight will be more of a psychological/mind fight than a physical one, imho. Lucy doesn’t have the strength to fight Brandish one on one, and that’s not me bashing Lucy (cause I love my queen ♡).
