I'm really meh about this chapter and I have two essays to go write before Friday so I'll keep this short:


 * Meh cover
 * Still don't get what Brandish is trying to achieve .-. She just said she has no idea what she's doing and that August is incredibly loyal to Zeref. Sooo... literally WHAT does she expect August to do? Because this can only go two ways really: August says no and attacks and this entire idea was ridiculous, or August agrees to back down, which is ridiculous. So, it's ridiculous either way *wtf face*
 * Giant Happy was pretty amusing though :P
 * At least Mest is being reasonable >__>
 * Zera/Cana comparison was funny, otherwise I couldn't care less about what's going on with Cana and Mavis rn.
 * Hahaha, didn't I say that Mashima was going to have this crucifixion play no major role in shaping his characters? Ten points to Carrot! Seriously, everyone just fighting back was stupid >__> Like, really, you've just been crucified for crying out loud... I actually think Sting was having the most reasonable reaction out of everyone tbh. Whatever though, I never expected Mashima to actually write that plot point correctly, so... *shrugs*
 * Noooo!! BILL!! DX
 * So Gajeel gets pissed off at Bradman for crucifying people and pinning them to things and proceeds to pin Bradman in a similar manner? .-. Really, I didn't like this idea at all. I mean, ffs, when has Gajeel EVER been shown apologizing or thinking about what he did to Levy and co.?? REALLY?? It wasn't even brought up I don't think after the event and Levy and Gajeel just sort of fell together as a pair without any discussion of what happened between them. And now suddenly it's Gajeel's "worst memory" and he hates everything to do with it and he's super pissed? Maybe I would have liked this more if there as even the smallest hint before this that Gajeel actively remembered that day, but I don't recall ever reading anything about it, so to me this is just an old pull to give Gajeel a reason to be super pissed. And he didn't need that apparently now-awful memory to do that: seeing Rogue and the others could have easily sufficed imo. But whatever, maybe I'm just being sour. I just think it's a bit of a silly attempt to show that Gajeel is invested in this for real, and it wasn't needed and was sloppily added in. That's it! Sloppy. That's the word I was looking for to describe this entire turn of events. It's not bad, but it's amazingly sloppy.
 * Couldn't really care about this upcoming fight because even if Bradman has some awesome Magic all of the Spriggan have been one-shot in stupid, nonsense ways in one chapter. Not even giving Mashima a lick of faith here because I know I'll just be let down >__> #yes I'm salty #but seriously the fights in this arc have been shockingly awful #whatever
