Part of Me

But I guess that’s inevitable after all. It couldn’t be that easy, no matter how much I want them to win.

Daiya act 2 just reached its 100th chapter and I thought I’d celebrate by making this self-indulgent list of my favorite MiyuSawa moments…

The things I do for these two.

Me:

Mashima:

But only when these rascals is paired up that I realized a battery can be really evil.

Not only in their ability as a battery and how they bring out the best in each other but I also:

… love them just standing next to each other:

… sitting next to each other:

I love their bickering:

I love it when they’re being goofballs:

I love it when they give each other the smirk:

I love them just staring silently at each other:

… as well as their silent communication:

… or just simply when noticing each other from afar:

I even love it when they’re dissing each other:

Not to mention those moments when they look completely enamored by the other:

Simply put: I love them.

ALOT!

Against Hakuryuu he gave up just 1 run: 

Against Akae, he was the relief pitcher in the 8th inning:

No run lost. 

The next match was against Naruta Tech and again Sawamura was the starter pitcher. Then he pitched until the 7th inning and lost 1 run. 

Against Mamiya he was the relief pitcher again. 

THEN…

The next match was in today’s chapter (ch. 89), it was against Kume, another Chiba´s school. And our Sawamura lost 1 run (til now). 

GUYS. 

GUYS.

AGAIN. JUST. 1. RUN.

Everytime he is the relief pitcher he doesn’t give up any runs because he plays for a few innings. But whenever he is the starter pitcher he plays till the end (Hakutyuu case) or til the 8th inning giving up just ONE FECKING RUN.

Just like coach Kataoka says to Furuya:

I can’t be more proud of my son. 

#DAIYAWEEK2017 ⚾ DAY 5 ⚾ MEETINGS —favourite first encounter→sawamura eijun + miyuki kazuya

“ Miyuki is the character who makes Sawamura think “I want to play baseball with him, even if that means being separated from my friends,” … He’s the type of guy Sawamura has never met before, the one who makes him think, “I just can’t get him out of my head…” So, if you think about it, their first encounter is actually the same as that in a romantic manga. ”

The fact that Mashima took the time to allude the very beginnings, middles, and the continuation of their relationship made perfect sense to me. He dragged her away, in the very same way he dragged her (literally) back to Fairy Tail THREE TIMES (now four), and told her they’d always be together. 

I’ve stated millions of times that the reason I love Fairy Tail, and all stories, is that everything is up to the reader’s interpretation unless explicitly noted. The statement “We’ll always be together” means different things each person, and I feel it suits their relationship. No matter what Natsu, Happy, and Lucy will always be together. To exclude Happy would be one of the worst things Mashima could do, he’s as a part of their family as Lucy is. 

I loved the ending of Fairy Tail because Nalu wasn’t overly forced. The ending wasn’t a cliche kiss or wedding (and I am the queen of loving cliches don’t get me wrong), but it was so NALU. To expect Natsu to suddenly be making out and having babies with Lucy would be completely out of character for him (and out of character for Lucy to be honest. She comes off experienced and totally all about it, but I see through her facade). Romance isn’t all about kisses, getting married, and having children. Sometimes it’s the little things, instead of the big things, that the author sprinkles throughout the series that make the ship what it is. We’ve all made lists about our favorite Nalu moments, and why we love them, and it’s very clear that those should still all be taken into account despite how upset many of you are about the ending. (I’m not going to share all of these moments because this post is already getting too long)

A house isn’t just four walls and one room. It’s got to have a firm foundation to build upon, otherwise it will ultimately fail and collapse. Despite how long this series has been going on, I feel that Mashima leaving this as an open ending was his way of setting the foundation for their future relationship. By this I mean this first series for Fairy Tail in general, and their series of moments throughout the series. 

My final thoughts on this: Mashima himself tweeted awhile ago that he still had various projects in the works for Fairy Tail after this main story ends. This would include the continuation of the anime in 2018 I would assume, and whatever else it includes is still up in the air. So while many questions may still seem unanswered right now, the fact that he left it as an open ending is actually to his benefit. It leaves him with more space to grow and continue the series if wishes to in the future. 

lucy says that if she hadn’t met natsu and happy, the current her wouldn’t be here today. 

he then says something like “that stuff is just whatever! let’s go to work!” 

lucy, with angry tears: “after i finally managed to express my feelings and you say it’s ‘just whatever’! you’re terrible!”

natsu: “it doesn’t matter, because we’re going to be together forever.” 

Out of all manga(s) I have read, a wedding should be a happy moment. It should make us happy. Full of joy. Blissful because our OTP is finally canon.

But in Tokyo Ghoul… even though it does make us happy, at the same time it crushes our hearts.
