Rant
Just a few things I despise about the fandom. These are just my opinions, and I have some pretty strong ones so please be respectful if you don't agree that's cool, but just hear me out. Ok with that being said let us begin.
I hate how in some stories Natsu kicks Lucy off the team: Ok seriously why the hell would he kick her off a team he clearly started with her, it just seems counterintuitive.
Lucy is portrayed as weak: How in the love of fuck is Lucy weak. I will admit in the beginning she was weak, but she had a lot of potential, hell anyone who would sacrifice a spirit to summon the celestial king to save her friends that is some goddamn strength. Lucy may not be the strongest, but she is certainly not weak. It's cool if you don't like Lucy, but for real she is not weak.
STOP HATING ON LISANNA: Please for the love of god stop hating on Lisanna, like she is such a sweetheart, for real what has she done to piss you guys off? My fellow NALU fans: Lisanna is not getting in the way of Nalu ok, in all actuality I think she supports it, yes her and Natsu have history together, but that was in the past and you can't change the past. She was brought back for Mira and Elfman to be reunited with their sister, yes Natsu was happy to see his childhood friend again, but the bond he shares with Lucy is so much stronger than the bond with Lisanna. LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE.
Lucy Crack-ship and Natsu Crack-ships: I despise these crack-ships, especially Lucy Crack-ships, like how can you look at a ship like Sting and Lucy and be like OMG they are so cute together, have we not forgotten that Sting basically laughed while she was getting beaten up by Minerva. Same with Gajeel and Lucy don't even get me started on the others. Look for me its not about how hot a ship looks, because to me that's what I see when looking at them. The reason I 100% ship Nalu is the chemistry and bond they share, and the fact that they have some sort of connection. Damn Natsu's scarf was knitted by a Heartfilia, Anna Heartfilia specifically, that and the fact that Lucy is comfortable being herself around Natsu, she doesn't have to try to be someone she isn't, yes you can argue that Lucy could be like that around Gray or Loke, I'll be honest at first I shipped Loke and Lucy I thought it was cute, but after the Phantom Lord arc NALU really hit me in the feels. Literally Natsu became END, because he thought Lucy died again. If that isn't love I don't know what is man.
Can we stop bashing characters: This is a problem I have as well, and I am doing my best to work on it, for example, I was hating on Gray's character heavy at the beginning, but he grew on me.
Stop harassing other people for what they like, for example if someone ships LucyxHibiki, that's what they like so be respectful, if you don't like it don't read the story. At the same time don't force people to like the same thing be creative
So there you go, here are a few things about the fandom I despise. I realize a lot of these points are contradictory but I don't care I wanted to get this off my chest because I notice it in the fanfiction community. Please realize that every is allowed to wrote whatever they want. I hope no one takes what I say out of context, please try to understand the underlying message. It may just look like random ranting but these are things I am really passionate about. Fairy Tail means a lot to me as I am sure it means a lot to you, I relate to Natsu and Lucy in a lot of ways, that is why Nalu is my OTP. I normally don't ship characters in anime, but with Fairy Tail I can't help but ship. That being said I hope you all stay safe out there I have missed this community, and the reasons I listed above are why I left for such a long time. Thank you so much for listening to what I had to say, I love you all so much. Peace.
