So much potential for a good relationship. The one person that truly needed help (Zeref) yet he was still treated as a monster by even Natsu (who has forgiven everyone else).
LITERALLYY
I'm glad they at least brought up that Zeref went through a lot and have had Natsu acknowledging him as family in 100 yq, but they still deserved to be happy in the main series AND I'M SO UPSET THAT THEY DIDN'T GET THAT
SAME THO!! they both deserved so much better! And like, especially Zeref. My boy was slighted so hard.
Literally the only antagonist/villain in that whole series that did deserve a second chance and help.
(But it is finee. Canon can't hurt me, I live in denial)
I swearrr
Almost every other antag got redemption and instead of going “fantasy logic” and getting rid of Zeref’s curse, they killed him. Like ??
The only one who was genuinely a nice person that had no choice but to do bad things and they offed him.
I’m so salty about it, he deserved some happiness
Also canon denial is so real
<— (is currently 10k words into writing something for an AU where Zeref never died and him and Natsu got to actually spend time together)
👀👀👀👀 honestly I'll take it
(THE only consistent au that comes and goes in my brain is one that is so sad, I swear my brain wants to medieval times torture me)

No joy
Only tears
