I used to love erza but after tenrou island arc i immediately hate her

[gralunaisland]

Something that really annoys me about ju//via is how she negatively impacts the other characters, like you've mentioned it before but Er//za is one of my favorite characters and seeing her just... not only support gr//via but also actively push ju//via to harass Gr//ay was :/ In general I feel like more characters should have Gr//ay's back on this issue, aren't they supposed to be a family? Why don't any of them care that he's getting harassed?! Anyway sorry I just wanted to ramble haha

Erza Sucks... Only When It Comes to Gr///via, Though

I completely feel for you, Anon.

Erza is unequivocally one of the best characters in the show, and yet as you said, she actively supports and encourages juvia's antics. I'm being completely honest when I say I absolutely hate her guts when she does so. Not only is it just such a nasty, horrid thing for her to do, it is also completely out of character for her to support juvia, a woman who has made it clear she doesn't care for family and friends in the same way the rest of Fairy Tail does, over Gray, the young man Erza has grown up with, caring for and watching over him. It just doesn't make sense in any regard.

Why would such a friends-oriented person like Erza, the big-sis to all, want to promote toxic, abusive behavior towards Gray, towards anyone??

The only reason is because Mashima just wants to show how much he supports gr///via, that's all. He's willing to not only massacre juvia's agency and Gray's mental health and character but also Erza's righteousness and character just for the sake of solidifying the awful gr///via ship into canon even more. It is just another example of Mashima sucking as a writer. He built such a wonderful world with many wonderful characters and story arcs, but thanks to this ship, he's reduced my respect for him a hundredfold. There was no need to ruin his story by propping this pair up.

I completely agree with you, Anon, that Gray's friends should be backing up Gray, not juvia, and yet time and time again, not only Erza, but so many more FT members have admonished Gray for "leading her on" and "making her sad". It's utterly disgusting and disturbing.

What they're doing is not even victim-blaming/bashing at this point; they're not even willing to acknowledge that what juvia is doing is bad in the first place, so they don't view Gray as a victim whatsoever.

Somehow juvia is the victim!!

In what world does that make sense?? It makes sense in juvia's world, really, where she acts however she wants and still gets the guy and all the support in the end.

Poor poor juvia, a harasser and a manipulator and a selfish prick, poor her that she unnerves and bothers and creeps out her prey. Boils my blood. Gray got supremely gaslit by everyone around him, so it's no wonder that in the end, Gray's been manipulated into accepting juvia's "affections".

Also, please don't apologize for rambling, Anon! I love your input and thoughts; I am 100% in agreement with you here! Please use my ask box to ramble away as much as you like; I for one ramble constantly in my posts haha. Thank you for the insightful ask!

There is nothing interesting about juvia's character nor did she do anything relevant throughout the series other than simping for Gray.

My thoughts on gruvia

So I wanted to make this post because I've been rewatching gmg recently and I wanna talk about it a bit.

Before I begin I know gruvia is a very polarizing ship so I'll make my own opinion clear, I don't hate gruvia but I also don't think it was very well executed in cannon. If you love gruvia this isn't against you at all, my intention with this isn't a hate post just to look at a weird decision made in gmg for gruvia from a writing standpoint and talk a little about it.

The biggest issue most people have with gruvia is that juvias obsession with gray is taken WAY to far sometimes and ends up feeling more creepy then funny or romantic. I agree with that point but also I do try to keep in mind that gags aren't really meant to be taken seriously. There is a limit to what I can write off as a gag but for the most part early on juvia fell within that limit, from my perspective I tend to take things as seriously as the characters around do meaning if their reaction is mild annoyance, I won't take it to seriously. While their reaction is genuine discomfort, I will. Early on, all of juvias romantic advances/creepy moments had been gags that where within the reasonable range that I could laugh off. This changed though in gmg.

Ok so starting off mid gmg gray has a very serious talk with erza. I disagree with a lot of people on this conversation because a lot of people seem to think this is her tell gray to love juvia. Gruvia lovers and haters alike seem to think this but I really don't see it that way. I think she's quite literally just telling gray to be direct with her about how he feels.

Up until this point because everything has been gags we've never really taken juvia seriously, gray has never had a moment where he has actually acknowledged and confronted her feelings for him and told her how he feels in return. Erza is basically telling him to stop just brushing off or avoiding her advances and just be direct with her, whether you like someone back or just want them to leave you alone being direct is good advice.

It's advice that gray takes to heart as we see here in the final episode of gmg

I really don't understand where people get the idea that erza was saying he needs to accept juvias love because this scene is literally him taking her advice and his answer is "no I don't like this leave me alone please". This would be fine but what happens next is just downright confusing

She just, doesn't care?? I genuinely don't understand why this scene was added in at all if it wasn't gonna matter. Like I said I can write off most gags but this was NOT a gag. Gray had a very serious talk with a close friend where he got the advice to be direct, he had a very serious moment where he very seriously took that advice and told juvia exactly how he feels, why does she just ignore it??? It's such a weird decision to make because it makes all of juvias future advances come off WAY creepier then they did before even when they are just gags because gray has already very seriously told her to stop.

I've heard some argue that gray actually does like juvia he's just afraid to admit it and he's forcing himself to say he doesn't like her in this scene, but regardless of whether he secretly feels something for her a no is a no and it's reaaalllyyy creepy to just not accept that. Hear me out here, what if right after gray did this juvia listened.

She did back off of him and gave him his space, then if you still wanted them to have a relationship maybe gray starts to miss her? Give him some autonomy and room for us to actually see him develop genuine feelings for her rather then having her force them onto him because without seeing Gray's side it just feels one sidedly obsessive. I know people argue he's just afraid to confront his feelings but you need to actually show us that, give him a scene where he's thinking about her or actually missing her in some way when she's not around if you want to show us that gray isn't just being forced into things he doesnt want. If juvia had backed off here I would have probably liked the ship a lot more A) because it would give gray room to develop on his own and B) it would show that juvia has restraint and genuine respect for Gray's feelings even if he doesn't like her the way she likes him.

Rant over, again no hate to gruvia fans. It's fiction I don't actually take it to seriously if you love gruvia live your truth🙏🙏. I like gruvia in theory it's just poorly executed sometimes and I could fix it fr fr

Spotting a Fairy Tail AI image is fairly simple. If the image includes Lucy, look at her eyes. Often they will be blue or match her hair, AI models often struggle with that. They also struggle with the guild logo, so look for that next. If you still aren't sure look for other things that don't make sense, extra segments in Erza's armor on one side, for example. I also like to look for a watermark. Most artists will include one somewhere, where most AI images don't have one.

[cheesydelphox]

i hate to break it to y'all but mashima is not the all powerful god of writing women that you think he is. the way he wrote lisanna as nothing more as a roadblock to his main c*sh*t couple? misogynistic. the way he's constantly drawing lucy and erza getting tortured and stripped against their own will, chalking it up to fanservice? misogynistic AND creepy. the way he constantly writes wendy into being ashamed of her body (the fact that she has small boobs. which. sir why are you thinking about the boob size of 14 year olds?) misogynistic AND pedophilic. the way he writes juvia to be nothing but completely and totally obsessed with a man? misogynistic. the way he writes levy forgiving gajeel so easily after what he did to team shadow gear? misogynistic. why do people (shounen anime fans, INCLUDING women who are fans of shounen anime) pretend mashima is the gold standard of writing women.

[theonlyblackcanary]

Sabine x Shin is another Reylo waiting to happen, the fandom romanticizing abuse, I hate it I hate it I hate it

[shyflowerhologram]

this is random but Naruto needed one Erza Scarlet, imagine if they had Erza instead of Sakura, Erza Scarlet would make everything better

[shinpikurage]

Couldn't include every single one I stumbled upon AO3 sorry :( so if you like any other one, even if it's a crackship or really rare, please do tell! I love Lucy ships

[fairytail-whathesays]

Why do you hate Erza? Is it because she's oversexualized, or is there more to it?

I don't really interact with Fairy Tail anymore so this response is going to be a lot less impassioned than it would have been back in my heyday. In the end, I hate Erza because she's boring.

Fairy Tail being what it is, there isn't that much difference between a fireball and a sword, and Erza really just stands as Mashima's cornerstone writing habits all rolled into one: power of friendship over everything else, Fairy Tail always has it and other people don't, and no real effort put into justifying wins--and therefore the fights as a whole.

The romance with Jellal doesn't help. You go through my blog for two or three minutes and you'll understand that I've always been aggravated by Jellal's ceaseless (and detrimental) presence in the manga and how he's permitted to behave while whining about his sins, which never received the weight they deserved beyond absolving him of them. There's not really much to showcase an attraction or even a star-crossed lovers angle between him and Erza after a while, because all of the tragedy of their romance happened early in the manga and from around the GMG arc onward, there wasn't a real reason why they shouldn't be together if they wanted to so badly, especially since everyone who didn't like Jellal (Kagura and Milliana) were cast as in the wrong.

Like Fairy Tail as a whole, Erza's never permitted to make mistakes, lose, or really look bad at all, and since she (along with Natsu) gets by far the most attention and presence in Fairy Tail's struggles, she gets a large chunk of the aggravation with those issues.

Sexualization is just a cherry on top. Mashima is pretty much the Google Definition of "horny mangaka who can't write with two hands" and the very overwhelming level of sexuality (and how every situation seems to twist to include tiddies somehow) is present everywhere in the manga and with every female character--but it's Erza who is cast as a warrioress and a knight, so when it hits her it crosses with the western world's long-established exhaustion with men only seeming to enjoy 'strong' women if they also look highly fuckable--you know, the 'armor with tiddies' and 'butch action girl wearing heels' problems.

Fairy Tail is a very simple manga, basically.

Honestly, Juvia is one of the most boring characters I've ever seen. She is an extremely shallow character and her development is nonexistent. There is nothing to her besides her lust for Gray.

juvia is Nothing Without her Lust for Gray

I agree with you very much, Anon. You really put it perfectly. she just brings nothing to the table but toxicity and a stagnant character.

Like you said, she's shallow. she judges everyone at face value (especially women, whom she always assumes the worst of). she also doesn't ever try to understand other people and always misinterprets Gray's intentions and thoughts even though it would be so, so easy to understand him because she actually doesn't care about him; she only cares about what juvia wants.

As for your comment about how her development doesn't exist, I just made a post about that here where I parse some instances where Pros might say that juvia has had character growth and debunk them. she never grows as a person and also basically forces everyone around her to change to accommodate her antics and toxicity, like Erza and Gray, both of whom had their characters decidedly retconned to, for the former, encourage juvia's disgusting pursuit of Gray, and for the latter, return juvia's affection in a similarly manic manner, neither of which makes any sense for their true characters.

I've said it a dozen times, but juvia is a satellite character, and does not exist without Gray. You are very right when you say there is nothing to her except her lust for Gray, because if you take that away, she's an empty husk that stops functioning, as seen in the Avatar arc.

Plus, if you think about it, it's her lust for Gray that drives every action she takes. It was the only reason she decided to "become good", as she never actually tries to make amends or even just apologize to the FT guild for what she'd done after the Phantom Lord arc. That means all of her supposed "character growth" literally hinges only on Gray. You bet if he turned evil she'd be right at his side (like in the Daphne arc).

And if it ever seems like she's doing something for the good of the Fairy Tail guild, think again! she's only helping out the guild that her snookums attends; if he left, she wouldn't spare them another thought. This is made apparent by her taking his side in the, again, Daphne Arc, as well as her ditching everyone and not caring about them because she got to follow and harass Gray just the two of them after the disbandment of FT. You also see that in how she treats the other guild members and how she didn't try at all during the GMG.

All in all, I really don't have to add more here. juvia's suckiness speaks for itself, and I've been talking about this subject quite often lately. Anyway, Anon, thank you for your patience (so sorry for taking so long to get to answering you) and for sending an awesome ask!

[anti-gruvia-blog]

Erza legit encourages Juvia to keep being a disgusting creep instead of telling her to respect Gray’s boundaries.

[freakinname]

Unpopular opinion.

If i'm being honest, i'm not really a fan of JeRza cuz not having grown up with FT or "The Big 4 ship", I'd just find them completely moronic. I kinda don't mind GruVia or GaLe cuz I don't really care for them that much however, I greatly despised NaLu cuz I get the feeling, it will be an unhealty relationship where that Natsu would caused so many problems to Lucy to the point of extreme levels of headaches. Lucy deserves someone 10 times better than that retard. Also, it's kinda feels forced in my opinion. As for JeRza... I used to hate Jellal but now I don't really care about him, he's kinda just.... there? That ship just wasn't for me. Sometimes I don't understand what Erza sees in him? But truth to be told, I kinda have a fictional crush on Erza. I don't like Jerza cuz they're relatinship feels kinda tiring and kinda boring. Also, they need years of psychological therapy which I never see them do. I really don't like it when Erza changes deamanor wherever she's around that pretty boy. It kinda feels just like when Sakura changes wherever she's around Sasuke(although, I hate Sakura for personal reasons). I mean, why ship that? When Erza can have so many fun ship dynamics with tons of other characters. But hey, it's just an or a cartoon/anime/manga. None of these relationships could work in real life... Although, I could be wrong.
