Gray just said “she looks like Juvia but she’s not her” with the fattest grin after seeing a pair of tits on a person with Juvia’s face. Umm Gray what TF do you mean by that???? 🤨

Violinist Juvia Lockser! 🎻

Earlier, I’ve been thinking about an AU where a kid Meredy tried hooking up her uncle Gray, with a violinist Juvia after watching her show. Also, I wanted to try a semi-realism art style so here you go! Ending 2023 with this art!

Hi, how are you?

What do you think about the fact that Juvia basically stalked Gray for months, was mean to every girl (threatened their life, etc) that came close or even spoke to him (especially Lucy) and that he only feels "obligated to like her" because she saved his life? (like saved victims fall in love with their firefighter or doctor) I want them to work out but if their gender were reversed, everyone would scream that it was grooming. He told her "no" multiple times, he was clearly averse and if a guy would not accept a "no" there would be backlash. Juvia is an amazing character with a lot of development but I think that Fairy Tail often makes fun of serious sexist behavior rather than addressing it. Like making fun of Lucy's naked body or horny old men gawking at young and underage! girls. I'm aware that it's a manga and that Japan has huge issues with gender equality and sexism but I kinda expected more from the new manga/anime. According to Unicef, every 11th boy (and every 8th girl) is a victim of sexual violence. For a long time, nobody took boys being a victim of sexual violence seriously. Of course, Juvia didn't "do" anything to Gray. But it's the same when people said to girls "if a boy is mean to you it means he likes you" (hello Sasuke!). This teaches children that they don't really have a choice and bodily autonomy. Juvia never accepted a "no" and we as the audience should believe that this is her being persistent/ romantic/ etc. It shows: if you just keep harassing and stalking your person of interest, they will eventually like you back. At the end of the original anime, it felt like Gray feels the same and we are made to believe that this him finally realizing his "true" feelings. But it kinda felt like "i'm giving up the fight, you won't stay away anyway". Important notice: I only watched the original anime, so if I missed something in the original manga, please tell me.

hi anon ! i'm good thanks for the ask :) was truly not expecting this lol

first of all, the fact that i've watched fairy tail first when i was younger may bias my analysis and i apologise for that. of course, i've read it again enough to change my opinion on many aspects but the filter still may be a little present. but well you did ask for an opinion haha :)

juvia's obsession and gray's feelings

as you mentioned that you only watched the anime, be aware that it exaggerated juvia's stalking by adding her in scenes where she wasn't actually present and by creating a weird running gag with her obsession for gray. however, she does have an obsession with gray, which can't be denied, and which lead her to be pushy with both gray and her "love rivals" in different directions. but rather than this, she wants to prove him and show him that she loves him whenever she has the occasion, because it's usually what you want to do when you're proud to love someone. it's more clumsiness than wanting to force him into something. since it can make gray uncomfortable, it's not defendable to say it's okay every time, but there are plenty of moments when these are cute attentions rather than stalking. she's not hindering gray's job, sleep and life, by repeating how she loves him. juvia still respects gray's boundaries by not forcing him to go on missions with her or following him at his place.

besides this, i don't think you missed other important points from the main manga, but sorry if i'm spoiling the 100 years quest later on.

if you think that gray feels like he owes her his life and must return her love, then i strongly disagree. gray already had feelings for her by that time, that's why he tried to commit suicide as well to save her. he didn't feel obligated to love her just because of that. he said before the final arc that he wanted to talk about these feelings seriously with her, and had already shown proofs of love by spending time with her during the timeskip after tartaros. gray considers juvia as more than a simple friend since longer than what he says, otherwise you couldn't explain why he chose to create a unison raid technique with her at the grand magic games, nor why he could assure their bond was strong enough for this. he's not avoiding juvia like the plague, or apprehending seeing her, and that is the case since their first encounter. he's glad that she's joining the guild and helping them. in the main series, he feels more reluctant to public display of attention than to her showing her love. in the spin-off, he's being more open to his feelings than before and that's why everyone is shocked around him, but juvia seems quite used to it.

that is all about how i perceive the characterisation of gray and juvia. sorry if i've missed some points, tell me if it's the case :)

now, i feel like most of your criticism is about how fairy tail, and the shounen manga genre in general is associated with sexual fan service issues and sexism. my blog isn't so much of a place to deal with such political and societal questions, but let me try to answer at least partly.

sexual fan service and other borderline behaviours issues

first, when you talk about the gender reverse thing, don't you think it's more the other way around ? i can't see people reacting more to juvia's insistence if she were a man, because you already quoted other issues related to sexism and fairy tail fans don't really complain about it. or at least, they make abstraction of it. have you ever seen someone calling natsu a pervert/stalker because he's breaking into lucy's house all the time ? the most important thing remains to not be hypocritical with these situations : if you consider juvia a stalker, then at least you have to admit that natsu breaking into lucy's place is not okay. and as i said earlier, i don't remember juvia even following gray to his place even once. but that's not the main point here.

to keep it to what you said about the gender reverse, i think it's actually the contrary, and that people tend to accept men's obsessions/non-con acts more than women's. that's why the word "stalker" is so easy on juvia even when she's mostly just watching gray without any bad intentions.

fairy tail has a fair amount of wrong sides that you shouldn't teach to young teenagers. but is this supposed to be a life lesson to them, in the first place ? can you choose to show fairy tail to your kids just so they know how important friends can be, how you should treasure your bonds, how you can be free if you don't harm the others ? is it the best show to watch when you want to learn about care and freedom, even when the sexualisation of both boys and girls is overly present and when the said characters are sometimes minors ?

nowadays, i feel like the shounen anime genre tries to get better on these points, slightly, here and there (jujutsu kaisen being the most obvious example that comes to my mind) but the 100 years quest sequel is in fact directly linked to the main series and since the author is the same, he didn't bother to change anything in his way of making fan service. he likes doing that in his gags and art, it's part of the vibe of his series, so he won't take that away nor even reduce it. i'm a bit sorry that you can't have high expectations of the 100 years quest just because it's more recent, regarding the sexualisation of the characters or of their borderline behaviours. but if you enjoyed the main series, then there's no reason why you couldn't enjoy the sequel because of these.

i hope it answers your questions ! thank you so much for the ask again, i don't usually analyse fairy tail characters this thoroughly because although they are all really good and enjoyable characters, i can't guess if the author wanted them to be so deep after all. have a nice day !

If Fairy Tail was in the modern world and the characters were regular teenagers part 2.

It’s Friday night and Juvia is eagerly putting on her make up before leaving for her date. While Lucy is there helping her get ready.

Juvia: I can’t believe Gray actually asked me out.

Lucy: I can! I knew he’d get around to asking you eventually. Which reminds me, Natsu owes me twenty bucks.

Juvia: How do I look?

Lucy: Like you’re not trying and that’s exactly how you need to look.

Juvia: I do? But I am trying.

Lucy: But you can’t let him know that. He has basically been ignoring you since middle school and now that we’re seniors and he’s asked you out, you can’t just fall into his arms.

Juvia: I can’t?

Lucy: Absolutely not. If guy thinks you’re easy, he will never appreciate you. You have to show him, that while you are interested, you aren’t just going to do whatever he wants.

Juvia: What if I want to do whatever he wants?

Lucy: Trust me, no girl wants to do whatever a guy wants all the time. You think I want to watch Natsu scarf down an entire buffet and then spend the whole night listening to him barf in a bush? In relationships both parties have to give and you better make sure Gray knows that.

Juvia: Okay.

Lucy: So where are you going for your date?

Juvia: Drive in movie.

Lucy: What are you seeing?

Juvia: Well I wanted to see something romantic but I know guys hate chick-flicks, unless they’re Freed, so I compromised that we see that new war movie about the solider and the nurse who travel across the world to get back to each other. It’s a love story but it’s also about honor and courage and mind-less violence. Something for both of us.

Lucy: Nice! And your brother is okay with this right?

Juvia: Yes. Last week we had a talk about boundaries. About how he’s not going to treat me like a little kid anymore, how he’s going to stop hovering over me, and how he’s going to give me privacy.

Ironically, Gajeel is downstairs listening to their conversation through the air vents.

Levy: Gajeel stop eavesdropping! We’re going to be late for your gig! Also that’s very creepy.

Gajeel: I’m sorry babe, but Juvia is going on her first date and I just want to make sure that she’ll be coming straight home tonight.

Levy: Will you relax? It’s just a drive in movie. Remember when you took me to one? We had such a wonderful time.

Gajeel: (Smiles at the memory) Yeah we did. The starry night, the way you’d cling to me each time someone got butchered on screen. I’d hold you to keep you safe, we’d kiss, it would get really warm and then we’d….

Gajeel suddenly becomes panic stricken and runs upstairs.

[thewritingstar]

So hear me out for a fic idea yeah u know how after gray and juvia fought for the first time and they were seated on top of the guild, let's say her and gray were talking for a bit and then he asks where she go from here and she says "just like the rain wherever the wind blows" and she leaves

This request is from 2021.......I-I don't even know what to say.

I do hope that you like this. I love exploring Juvia's mind and feelings in these <3

we are switching povs like changing lanes in this one lol.

Please enjoy <3

He was officially out of breath. His lungs were screaming and while it wasn't the longest battle he had ever encountered, it was still a contender for one of the hardest.

How did she even do that? Lock him in a chamber of water? He thought for a second that she would kill him. She easily could have and he assumed that she might have. There was a flicker of something in her eye when she released him and he wasn't sure if he should be thankful or not.

Usually you don't stay and talk with the enemy. Usually one of you is dead or you walk away. Not this time. Instead of running or hurting her further, he had saved her. She slipped off of the rooftop and for some reason, he couldn't let her die. It wasn't in his moral code to kill someone and even thought this guild was trying to do that to his members, he didn't think it was her idea. He knew what it was like to be a pawn in someones game.

Her dark blue hair that was once curled perfectly into big ringlets had now started to loosen. She looked paler when she first showed up on the roof but now? Now she looked more human. She seemed like something just happened and he couldn't place it. He was always a mess after a good fight but she sat perfectly still and looked...rejuvenated.

"So what now?" Gray asked.

He thought she was like a deer. Her eyes were wide when he spoke and her head turned sharply towards him. It was as if no one had ever spoken to her before.

"What do you mean?" She questioned.

She felt weird staring at this man. What was weirder was the sky above them. A beautiful cyan that she had never seen before. She almost started to cry but held those tears back. She had just gotten the sky, she would not let it darken.

"Where are you going to go after this?"

The question confused her. She was a Phantom Lord member. She was S Class wizard in the most frighting guild. Where else would she go besides there? Deep down, she didn't want to return. She had failed to kill a member but how could she? Somehow kindness leaked from his pores even as he was trapped in her spell. She wouldn't remove that light from the world. She couldn't.

She wanted to say that she was going back home where she belonged. Did she belong? Did she really want to return to a place that didn't care about her well being. They cared that she was strong. They cared that her magic could frighten anyone. But thats all she was. A weapon of destruction.

She looked out towards the fields. Flowers grew within the sea of green grass. Oh how she wondered how they smelled. The feeling of the soft petals. Its been a long time since she had seen a flower not be drowned by her presence.

While she stared at the field, she thought about what he had said during battle. That he would fight to the death to save a member of Fairy Tail. It hurt her. She knew that no one would do that for her. That if she were to die, not one member would bat an eye. No flowers would be at her grave.

She wasn't even sure if she would have a tombstone.

Juvia Lockser. The one no one knows. The rain woman, she is as forgetful as a raindrop. One hit of the pavement, and then that was it.

Phantom Lord didn't care for funerals. They didn't care for much in general.

She wondered if she was someone else, maybe she would receive flowers on her deathbed. Could she ever live in a world where her death meant something? Could someone ever love her enough to shed tears for her permeant absence?

Where are you going to go from here?

That is what he had asked and he was still waiting for her answer.

The clouds had left and she wanted to stay here forever and gaze at a sight she had missed. Oh how the sun felt against her skin! This is where she wanted to go.

She wanted the sunlight on her forever. She wanted to see the flowers bloom and the snow melt. Those dark clouds had cleared something up in her.

Perhaps maybe, just maybe, she could find a home.

Home.

The word felt foreign in her mind but she liked it. She wanted to be wanted and to be loved and remembered. She didn't need a legacy. She didn't need to be the rain woman. She just wanted to be-

"Juvia?"

Her head snapped to his.

He said her name. It sounded like heaven. The way he said it, it was almost like she had forgotten her own name. She couldn't remember a time that her name sounded genuine from another person. There was so much good surrounding him, she almost couldn't believe it.

"Yes?" Her voice almost cracked.

"I asked where you were going to go after this? You can't possibly think your guild is good?" He said sternly.

He was right. This beautiful stranger was right. He had shown a kindness she had never found before so simply. She wanted that. She wanted to be kind. He had saved her. A man from an enemy guild saw something in her and decided she had a life worth living.

A life she should treasure.

If the sky could be clear and hopefully, then she could be too.

Little did she know, he thought that too. Gray knew she was stronger. Much stronger than she let on. Right now all he saw was a fragile woman. Someone who needed to be healed. He knew what it was like to feel hopeless and lost. He was lucky he found people before the darkness corrupted her. Most would think that she was off in the deep end. Too lost to be saved. Not him.

Even in the height of their battle, he could tell she was a gentle soul. Someone who needed a light to guide them, even if it couldn't be him. He wanted to scream at her and tell her to leave that guild. To have her run into Fairy Tail's arms and to never look back. Maybe she would. Maybe she could find a place that treated her better.

No person should look content falling to their death. There was no fear in her eyes and it almost broke him. It wasn't his place to tell her things, just question if she was alright. He didn't know her, but he knew she needed something better. Somewhere to thrive.

When they weren't fighting, she looked delicate and soft. He wouldn't place her as a dark wizard, not a chance. She was a good person, he could sense it.

"No. Juvia does not believe it is good. Juvia is tired of being seen as a monster. She shall find a new home." She stood and dusted off her coat. She began to walk away. "Thank you Gray. to just for saving Juvia's life, but saving Juvia's future as well."

"Is there a chance I'll see you again? Where will you look for your home?" He didn't want her to leave oddly.

"Hopefully." She smiled. "Just like the rain, Juvia will go where ever the wind blows. Maybe one day she will find her way back to you."

"I wish you the best." He waved at her and watched her walk away until she was nothing but a memory.

Natsu the terrible cook.

Nasha and Greige approach the bar table for their morning meal and find Natsu getting food out of the fridge.

Greige: Where’s my mom? I need breakfast.

Natsu: She’s out this morning. Emergency mission with your dad. So I’ll be cooking your breakfast.

Nasha: You don’t know how to cook.

Natsu: I’ll barbecue your breakfast.

Greige: I don’t know Uncle Natsu. Happy says you tend to go a little overboard with the grilling part and kids have sensitive stomachs you know. I think we’ll skip breakfast this time.

Nasha: Oh come on Greige, it’s not like it’ll kill us to at least try his cooking.

One hour later…

Nasha and Greige: (In agony) Ohhhh!!!

The two children have terrible tummy aches and are crying while their mothers are holding them, and Gray has Natsu by the shirt collar.

Gray: I’m gonna kill you for this Natsu! You poisoned my son!

Natsu: It was just a little overcooked.

Greige: A little overcooked? I feel like I ate charcoal.

Juvia: (Rocking him) Oh my poor baby.

Natsu: I don’t get it, the food tasted fine to me.

Lucy: You idiot! Of course it tasted fine to you! You eat fire for crying out loud! These children don’t!

Natsu: Well Nasha would if she had gotten more of my genes.

Lucy glares at him. Suddenly the door swings open and in walks Erza wearing a nurse’s outfit and carrying a doctor’s bag.

Erza: Where’s my niece?

Nasha: (Whines) Here Auntie Erza. Daddy made me sick.

Erza: Yes I know he did baby. Your daddy makes everybody sick.

Natsu: Hey!

Erza: But I have just the thing to fix you two up. (Opens her bag)

Lucy: Oh Erza please, nothing rough. These babies have suffered enough.

Erza: Oh no I’d never be rough with my favorite niece and nephew. (She then produces two small cakes from the bag) Some strawberry cake mixed with healing magic oughta do the trick. I invented it myself.

Nasha and Greige: Yay!

Gray’s Fantasy of a Happy Family (Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Spoiler - Chapter 84)

I saw a Twitter post about this scene in An Icy Fantasy and everyone was wondering why Mika wasn’t there. My guess is that this allusion was based on Gray’s memories. He doesn’t remember his real mom which is why she isn’t there, he’s had interactions with everyone in the room at a time where he was old enough to remember.

Aside from the Mika question: THIS SHIT TOOK MY HEART AND SHATTERED IT! Even if he does get to have Juvia and Greige, he’ll never be able to have all the people he holds close to him during his special moments in life. I’m broken, a scene that looked so happy ripped me to shreds. Why must they always pull on my heart strings. I never cry reading things so why now?!? He deserved this so much and the fact that he can never have it is what makes it worse. I LOVE YOU GRAY IDC!!!!🥹💔

Chapter 84 edit I like to watch when I want to cry!
