I Love Fairy Tail Zer So Much. Something About The Characters Is So Endearing. Mavis Has All The Ambition

I love Fairy Tail Zerø so much. Something about the characters is so endearing. Mavis has all the ambition and heart it takes to create a guild. Yuri has the energy and reckless abandon that the guild later embodies. Warrod has the heart of the guild and Precht has the brains. They were all a perfect match for each other.

Zera’s story hurts me fundamentally. She and Mavis agreed to be friends right as Zera died, then Mavis inadvertently created the illusion so she wouldn’t be lonely. The boys caught on so quickly and it was so kind of them to pretend with Mavis. They never once let slip that they couldn’t see her.

Zeref and Mavis. These two are so tragic. Mavis knew his curse on the spot and was able to relieve his loneliness for a little while. I can’t believe their story later on. It’s terrible what they (specifically Mavis) have to go through.

Anyways, Fairy Tail Zerø is so close to my heart. I cried so many times through but that’s alright. These kids deserve a few tears. I think the ‘what comes next’ blurb at the end severely downplays what actually happened to all these characters. They all met such a tragic end, save Warrod (who suffered too. He lost his best friends to horrible circumstances). I’m so close to the end of the series it’s insane…

WIP Wednesday

This is from my current WIP and it's double anything I've written before. It was supposed to be short and sweet but adding two more POV's and a habit of using drawn out metaphors made it longer.

Basically, it's looking at Simon and Baz's relationships from the perspective of places and things in Watford (think the Crucible, Shepard's truck etc.) with Simon and Baz chiming in with their thoughts and feelings on the events through the series and after.

Anyways, this is an excerpt from the POV of the Catacombs from about 5th year:

Baz would always come down and escape. He’d hunt the ever present rats, wander around for hours, and spend time at his mother’s grave. From what I picked of his conversations with Natasha, it was hard for him. His father pointedly ignored who he was. Baz felt that he had to be the absolute best to meet his mother’s standards. He was a vampire, not even a human, and he had no support when he was at Watford. Hence waking in the small hours of the morning to hunt rats in the dark to stay alive.

School essays are difficult because they want me to write something boring about apologetics but all I want to do is write a 14 paragraph well worded essay about the Hero’s Journey and how Simon Snow follows it and takes divergences off it. The second would be taking a look at what happens after that journey ends for other heroes and those around them, focused on picking up the pieces of when the hero’s story ends, using Wayward Son as a main source. Finally, the third would be about allegory and it’s affect on the story of the Simon Snow Trilogy. Instead, I am fated to write a 3 page essay on if gods are all the same.

Finally finished Any Way the Wind Blows. This was a wild ride again and I always enjoy seeing what I notice on a reread. So, here are some (mostly AWTWB) thoughts.

I finally got the message of the Simon Snow trilogy. They aren’t broken, they just trusted people who they were meant to trust. Simon never wanted to be the Chosen One, the Mage just told him he was. Baz never wanted to hate Simon, he was just told to because of the war.

I’m so happy Agatha found Niahm. I know that a lot of people think she’s aro/ace but it’s still a good conclusion for her.

My favorite scene is still the ham sandwich scene, closely followed by chapter 61, the Cheesecake Factory and the scene where Simon finds out who his family is.

I still hate the Mage so much. He had some good ideas but he still caused so much damage to the people in his life.

I love how Lady Ruth and Baz are gossip buddies about Smith. They hate him so much because they already have their Chosen One.

Simons little progression of not texting Baz back to finally talking to him to eventually calling him is so great. Almost as good as the not touching/hand holding/making out in the woods pipeline from Carry On.

Anyways this trilogy is so great and I already can’t wait to see what I notice on my next read.

I’m mad about how accurate this is.
