Thoughts on Natsu

So if you saw my earlier post about what I thought of this weeks chapter, then you’ll know there were some issues I took with it. Now it’s later in the day and have had time to think about it. What I have come up with is that this negative attitude comes from what I fear will happen later down the road in the story. And it all revolves around Natsu.

You see, with all this revelation happening and finding out all this stuff about Natsu’s past (and the other dragon slayers to an extent) I have a bad feeling that it may change Natsu’s character and in a bad way. What do I mean? Well, I don’t want to see him grow attached this past life of his. Think about for a minute. Why would Natsu even have single remote care for his brother Zeref? Zeref turned him into the most demon ever just to benefit his personal reasons. He’s responsible for this war, and indirectly responsible for all his friends either dying (almost in most cases) or getting seriously injured that it effects them in the long run. Zeref is an awful person, he’s not a caring brother, he’s evil. Natsu shouldn’t have a sliver of care or love for him. Whatever happened in the past is the past, leave it there. Natsu has his own family now in Fairy Tail and his friends. No reason to change just because you got filled in on the blanks in your memory. Like, Natsu was fine in this chapter as we saw him being is usual slef which I liked seeing. That’s the Natsu I know and the Natsu I want to keep seeing. Maybe the only that can change about his personality is what may happen with Lucy. I don’t want to see Natsu suddenly care for his past, his dead parents who he never knew, or his evil older brother that is causing a war and killing everything in sight. Makes no sense.

Natsu’s parent’s are another thing. They’re irrelevant and have been for a while. Igneel was Natsu parent and had greater impact on him than they did. We knew they were dead. That’s all that should have been said about it. I don’t want him to forget Igneel and start caring for his actual dad who he has no memory of. Don’t build a grave for them, don’t have a flashback and then be all like “My father blah blah blah”. Do you see the point I’m trying to make here? I just don;t want Natsu to become this different character because he has more insight into his life before Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail is his home and his family. All that stuff is over now, he can’t dwell on it. There’s NO way Natsu should have any sympathy for Zeref. Zeref is a shit character in the fact of what he’s done up to this point in the story. Everything bad that has happened to Natsu is directly caused by Zeref. The situation he’s in now is because Zeref got greedy and reincarnated his dead brother into a demon just so it could kill him and break a curse that was put on him. For 510 chapters we have seen Natsu grow and mature in some ways. He’s still the same dragon slayer and I hope he stays that way and doesn’t let all this new information change him. It wouldn’t make sense from a story standpoint, character standpoint, or make it more interesting. I have faith that Mashima won’t write it like that , but we’ll see as we have a long way go till the end.

what's really annoying is that all through school, I got in trouble for loose bra straps showing or holes in the knees of my pants because I could be "tempting" or "distracting" the other students (mostly the opposite sex I guess they mean) 

but instead of making ME feel awkward for having bra straps and holes in my pants, why don't you teach men that a bra strap IS A FUCKING BRA STRAP. If THAT is a "distraction" to someone in school, I feel bad for them when they have to go out to the real world and people they work with are wearing short skirts.

Do NOT blame the female students for the males inability to see a bra strap without turning into a rabid dog, because that's what you think they will do, right?

while we're on the subject of things that annoy me, something going around on the site has been bugging me lately.

That little comic with the circle and the other shapes. Someone wrote a good story that explains the panels further, which I liked. But then what's also being reblogged is someone's bolded for emphasis comment saying how it's "sad" that colorful shapes in a comic were needed to explain something important.

That kind of thing really riles me up. How is it "sad" that not every understands all these things that seemingly every tumblr user knows? I'm not knocking that it's something that people need to know, but if a person can't understand by simply being told, what is wrong with using a simpler method to help them?

Honestly, I find that really belittling. It's pretty much saying "oh good lord we need to use methods that CHILDREN use to learn in order for these teens and adults to understand, what is wrong with the world!!" Who CARES what method makes someone understand, the point is they get it now, right? And not everyone comes from a background or has a point of view where they would understand these problems in the first place! I feel like that is something lots of social justice and what have you people seem to forget.

Sad. PLEASE.
