There is a crack theory floating around Tumblr and now FF.net that Rogue and Sting are Gajeel/Levy and Lucy/Natsu's children sent from an alternate future from future!Lucy, to help ensure that their future is the one that makes it.
I mean, we all know Mashima plays FFXI. I'm guessing that if this is the case, he came up with this idea while slogging through WotG.

Funny enough I Googled for more information on Mashima's gaming habits and your posts are the only source that appears.

Really? I could have sworn I read it someplace beforehand.
Regardless, the parallels between Fairy Tail and XI are numerous and frickin all over the place. There's a reason I describe FT as "if FFXI were an anime" to people. For example, Lucy's Zodiac summoning system is a direct clone of that for summoners in XI, just using Earth constellations instead of the SE summon constellations.

Naruto: Check this out - Apparently Sharingan is activated when someone the individual loves is killed or brutally hurt and such. Sasuke's Sharingan activated when he and Naruto were getting beat down by Haku. So, you know.
One Piece: Franky had Valkyrie-style pigtails.

Naruto: My take on the Love bringing out the Sharigan activating then is more like, I hope, loving Naruto like a brother or family. It seems that Naruto and Sasuke were more like quarreling brothers then the idea that he loves Naruto like yaoi type love. Which makes sense also because it seems the overarching theme of Naruto is family.
Sure, but that's clearly correct but the less humorous take on it.

Sasuke is obviously a bottom since he follows whoever is stronger at the time.

I made a joke about how the silhouette in Fairy Tail was Sasuke months and months ago, and now we have the Cursed Seal making an appearance.

Naruto: Well it's official the Mangaka has no clue how hes going to end this, time for super long flashback arc. Also since when did Ochimaru become Sasuke's *****? I mean "If Sasuke-kun isnt satisfied with your answer I may have to destroy the Leaf", I mean i understand I guess if he's using this to his own ends maybe but it just seems out of character.
If Orochimaru < Itachi and Sasuke > Itachi then Orochimaru < Sasuke.

Naruto was just people waving their peens around. Bleach was kind of charactery-building, though I'm still holding out for a Kenpachi Bankai. Volg seems to have gotten screwed over in Hajime no Ippo, looks like the big fight is starting up in Soul Eater, and Deadman Wonderland is starting back up. Waiting on One Piece, assuming there is one this week.
And other stuff.

Naruto: Why the hell is Orochimaru being all buddy buddy with Sasuke? He might know that Sasuke could take him, but that doesn't seem like something Orochimaru would let stop him. He has no reason to hang around and help Sasuke like he is.
Bleach: I don't think the fights over just yet. I still expect an explanation of Unohana's bankai and a shone power up for Kenpachi. I did kind of like how this chapter got fairly symbolic, though.

With what Naruto is doing in Story A, I think the author lost track of power levels in Story B.

Considering he is the only man in the world that could make her "happy" I would say yes.

Fairy Tail: So it was a control spell, most likely cast by the Sadistic Tiger *****. And it looks like Dragon Slayers get a second, non-Dragon Force mode when they absorb a complementary magical element other than their own.

I wonder if it's going to be a thing where the first generations can absorb other types. So I'm wondering when/if Wendy will, and whether or not Laxus can/will. I think that's vaguely English enough to be understood.Glad I'm not the only one that reads that, so I can say that this movie looks remarkably like that manga.

I doubt she had anything to do with it. I'd give it a higher likelihood of being that Zeref-like magic that Crime Sorciere's going nuts about, even though they smelled that on Future Lucy first. It could have possessed Lucy first while she was time traveling, talked to Hisui, then ditched Lucy.
