I just... I dunno...

TheCarrotsSaysYumYum presents: time for a really bad analogy to explain this chapter (and arc)!

''So, say you're walking down the street and you see a $2 coin on the ground. Awesome! $2 is awesome! You just gained an ice cream or some candy or something nice for lunch for free! I fucking love finding money on the ground - it's the best. But... then you realise the money on the ground hasn't been picked up because it landed in dog poop, and for the rest of the day all you can do is ponder how lovely that $2 would of been had it not landed in poop.''

I hope everyone gets what I'm trying to say here because I have an essay to write and don't have time to type something long. Additionally, in short:
 * Pantherlily holding Levy hit me in the feels and this whole scene was brilliantly written. Pity the chance of Gajeel actually dying is less that 99.9% and we'll see this chapter undone with some stupid BS later.
 * This type of writing would have been great had the rest of this arc not been total shit. Waaaaay too late into your story of nobody dying to successfully kill off a character Mashima. Really .-.
 * Twins confirmed *laughs*
 * Irene vs Acno hype continues. Lel at Acno's no fucks given attitude.
 * Brandish was cute, even if I don't get her personality or care about her any more.
 * Lel Mest XD Great job~
