Natsu uprooting the Sakura tree for Lucy while she was sick was textually romantic and I don’t take second opinions

There’s a running theme in the series where the Forgers repeat back impactful words that was said to them to other people. So imagine post-reveal, Yor gets told about all of Twilight’s deeds: how he lied, cheated and manipulated others. But instead of getting angry, she repeats back his words from this scene:

Twilight hears this and he cries.

I’ll cry too because what he said here meant so much to Yor. For the first time, there’s someone who understands her and her sacrifices. These words made her choose him.

Oh, hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year

And terrors don't prey on

Innocent victims

Trust me, darling, trust me, darling

It's been a loveless year

I'm a man of three fears

Integrity, faith and

Crocodile tears

Trust me, darling, trust me, darling

So look me in the eyes

Tell me what you see

Perfect paradise

Tearing at the seams

I wish I could escape

I don't wanna fake it

Wish I could erase it

Make your heart believe

But I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know

Now you know

I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know, you're free to go (go)

Did all my dreams never mean one thing?

Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?

Oh, I've been askin'

Oh, I've been askin' for problems, problems, problems

I wage my war, on the world inside

I take my gun to the enemy's side

Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darling)

Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darling)

Problems, problems, problems

So look me in the eyes

Tell me what you see

Perfect paradise

Tearing at the seams

I wish I could escape

I don't wanna fake it

Wish I could erase it

Make your heart believe

But I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know

Now you know

That I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know, you're free to go

I can't breathe, I can't be

I can't be what you want me to be

Believe me, this one time

Believe me

I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know

Now you know

That I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know, you're free to go

Oh

Please believe me

Please believe me

*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*

Twilight thinking ‘geez, authentic marriages sure seem difficult’ like he’s not worked his behind off to stay being married to Yor is kind of rich.

He eats his wife's food, no matter how inedible.

He has learnt to trust his wife, no matter how against his spy nature it may be.

He tries his hardest to make sure his wife never has to shed a tear.

He feels like he needs to clear the air with his 'fake' wife that he's not real-cheating on her because... ? I don't know, but we must give him points for trying to keep his 'pretend' marriage alive.

Aaaand of course, he puts up with Yuri, the weird little dude. Twilight really doesn't have to, but he does. For the mission. Or something.

The thing is, Twilight's 'fake' marriage is in fact no more or less difficult than an 'authentic' marriage, because - it may come as a shock to him - he and Yor are partners and they have to navigate and be sensitive to each others' feelings as any other married couples have to in their relationships.

It just doesn't feel difficult to Twilight. Not because he's Westalis' Best Spy and nothing is too hard for him. No. It's because he's Ostania's Best Husband and it doesn't feel like work if you're in love.

“How the hell did you block that with a shield?!” They asked, somehow confused at the concept of what a shield is supposed to do.

i cant remember/find the post, but there was one that was like “dramatic twiyor reveal except they instantly freak out about leaving anya alone” and. yeah. i agree

buy me a coffee

Nothing but fanservice moments you say, well what is this?

How could you not see what we see even if you don’t ship them?

From this:

Ace and Luffy: We had a brother. His name was Sabo.

To this:

Luffy: I had two brothers. Their names were Ace and Sabo.

To finally:

Luffy and Sabo: We had a brother. His name was Ace.
