I think that before Gortash and Durge started working together, they were both very lonely. And part of why their relationship is so intense is that they both see the other as the only person in the world who can handle them. The only other person in the world who could possibly understand them or be on their level, and to some degree, chosen as they are by evil gods, they're not really wrong.

Because as worshipers of dark gods, both Gortash and Durge have very specific paths laid out before them. As a worshiper of bane, gortash needs to become a tyrant - he needs to end up on top of the world. And as they said in the Prayer for Forgiveness, Durge is well aware that Bhaal created them to be the last soul alive.

But both of those things, being on top of the world and being the last soul alive, are very lonely ways to be. And I think both Gortash and Durge have both had periods in their lives where they were very lonely - Gortash in the house of hope (or frankly even before that, his parents hardly seemed loving) and Durge was likely treated more as an instrument than a person in the Bhaal cult. Neither of them want to be alone again, and after meeting the only other person in this world who can possibly be on their level, they seem to immediately set out to find ways to work the other person into their rigidly planned out lives.

Gortash genuinely plans to share power with with Durge, to rule alongside them. He gives you, his co-conspirator, his partner in crime, half the credit for the plans - calling them "our" plans. He's happy to hear you're alive, he's genuinely pleased to see you again, and he's ready pick right back up where you left off. He tests your resolve with the netherstones because he very specifically doesn't want another flunky, he wants an equal. He doesn't want to be alone up there on top of the world, with no one who could ever hope to understand him. He wants Durge right there with him and he's willing to commit a Banite sin (sharing power! the horror!) to get it.

And Durge, well, we saw the Prayer for Forgiveness. Durge plans to kill Gortash on Bhaal's altar, the same place they hope to die. I do think that Durge intended to kill Gortash last, and kill him slow. So that when they kill themselves he'll still be there. So they can die together, hand in bloody hand on that altar. Because being created to be the last soul alive is such a lonely fate, to know that you'll die completely alone, without even someone to hold your hand. And that is Durge's sin, the one small comfort they'd allow themselves - not dying alone, but dying with Gortash, holding his hand, knowing that there was someone there who loved them as they both breathed their last. Imagining dying in a loving embrace instead of alone in a cold world.

It's interesting to see how they both can't escape their gods plans for them (ruling and dying), can't bring themselves to imagine any other ending, but also go on to explicitly sin against their respective gods in the name of their relationship (ruling together, dying together). They're both drowning and they know they can't escape but goddammit they're going to go down together, the only two people in this world who can handle each other, the only two people who matter.

that smile wille and simon have on their faces in that final scene, the confidence in their hands as they link them and the certainty that this time, this time it will really be okay. that is why we sobbed our way through three season and it was so damn worth it

okay but i think it says a lot about eddie that he clearly wanted to graduate high school.

in some way or another, it was clearly something he actually wanted to do, or he would have just dropped out when he flunked his first senior year.

but he didn't. he tried again. and again. those aren't the actions of someone who couldn't care less if they get a diploma or not. the whole school thinks he's a freak, he goes through the embarrassment every day of being the 20-year-old super-duper senior, but he does still go to school.

idk whether it might be partly on his uncle's suggestion (wayne seems to want the best for eddie and that probably means getting some qualifications), or whether he wants to do it for himself (to prove that he could, in fact, do it) but either way, instead of dropping out when he so easily could have (especially after his 2nd try) he didn't.

and this is why i so desperately wanted to see him graduate. it wasn't just about "getting out of this dump" (which he could have done years ago by dropping out) it was about proving he could do it, that he could accomplish this mile stone and then move on.

SEPARATE POST FOR THE BADGE SELLER TEEHEE

I WAS TOLD I SHOILD POSY MY STUFF SEPERATLU BASED ON FANDOMS UHHH OOPSIE 😥 BUT TY PEOPLE WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO TUMBLR I LOVE YALL <333

Loved your Lucy hradcanons! Do you have any (platonic) Erza & Lucy headcanons? They’re easily my favourite platonic Fairy Tail friendship! <33

Thank you so much! <3 For sure, I love their friendship so much! (I apologize if this is late, I usually use mobile and it does not notify me of messages for some reason)

While Erza isn't too fond of reading, she is always the first in line to buy Lucy's new books. After finishing them, she runs to tell Lucy her theories and gush about her favorites.

Lucy is considering writing a series of romance novels just for Erza cause she knows it's her favorite genre

They have sleepovers! I'm not talking sharing a hotel on missions. I'm talking full pj party, talking about boys (and girls), doing each others makeup. The whole nine yards. Wendy joins in too from time to time

Erza really enjoys doing stereotypical girly things with Lucy. Growing up, she really did have people she could try on fancy dresses with and just be soft and delicate. And as she got older, her rep in Fairy Tail only further pulled her away from that side of her.

Lucy understands being put into a box based on others perspectives of you, so she always tells Erza how beautiful she is and compliments things other than just her strength, because Erza is so much more than that.

Erza does the same for Lucy but in the opposite way. You will not survive calling Lucy weak in her presence. Lucy is way more than just a pretty face

If one of them is mad at someone (specifically Natsu or Gray) so is the other. No questions asked. Lucy walks in saying she's gonna kill Natsu, Erza already has her sword out.

They fully view the other as a sister. Lucy in particular, sees Erza as an older sister and has a lot of respect for her as such.
