Below are points I consider to be important regarding my muse and I hope they will be kept in mind during plotting/writing. Links to specific headcanon or divergence posts may be included in the below and I may add to this post in the future, as I go back over the manga or think about things further.

Note: filler arcs/chapters and the 100 Year Quest are not included as canon here.

Any of the unnecessary nudity seen throughout the manga – instances where Lucy’s clothes are totally destroyed, removed etc, especially when combined with her being forced into proximity with Natsu, are not included as canon. This includes the ‘quick, warm Natsu with your naked body, Lucy!’ scene in ch512. Any groping scenes (whether by Natsu or Cana or anyone else) are likewise excluded because – 1) its just not necessary, its demeaning to Lucy, 2) per plotting/portrayals of those muses (via chaoticor and hearternal), it’s not something they would do.

The running gag of Lucy trying to use her ‘sex appeal’ is not a thing here – while she knows she’s quite pretty (objectively) and she loves to look good, she is not that confident in herself in that way and would instead either use her wits or play the damsel-in-distress (acting helpless and innocent, big puppy eyes).

Lucy does not like to be called ‘princess’ and has asked that Virgo and her other spirits not call her that. She also never refers to herself as being the ‘owner’ of the spirits.

Oracion Seis arc – Lucy does not defeat Angel/Sorano. She does battle her and receive knowledge of Urano Metria from Hibiki, but ultimately is defeated and it is Sherry Blendy that defeats Angel. The battle taught Lucy a lot and helped her mature and grow as a celestial spirit mage.

Related to the above – Gemini does not disobey Angel during the fight with Lucy and does not later come to Lucy’s aid to help destroy Nirvana (even though both of those points were quite sweet). It also takes months for Lucy to receive Sorano’s keys – they were taken into custody by Rune Knights.

Lucy is very conscious and respectful of the contracts with her spirits, she does not just summon them whenever she feels like it. She also is very polite and thanks them each time they appear.

Tenrou arc – during the battle of her and Cana teaming up against Freed and Bixlow, she did not summon Aquarius (at least not for the ‘strategy’ of having Aquarius attack everyone, as that is not how Lucy rolls). She and Cana still won the battle, but through their teamwork, hard-thought strategies and Cana’s leadership (as it was Cana’s trial after all).

Stardresses – She first unlocked this aspect of Celestial Spirit magic during Tartaros with Aquarius, true, but it’s something that she had to really work hard at over the One Year in order to achieve with her other spirits. She does not still have access to the Aquarius Star Dress, and while she retains the fragment of Aquarius’ key, it contains no power. A new key has not ‘appeared’, but can be potentially reforged using ancient methods – which is something Lucy is trying to gather information on. Regarding some of her other Stardress forms – any of the forms that are overly revealing and impractical in canon (aquarius, aries and taurus come to mind as she wears a bikini top…) are not Like That here and eventually I might try to put an inspo board together for them. The Leo and Capricorn forms are suits.

The One Year – she did not retain her guildmark after FT was disbanded. She maintained contact with her friends where she could and they all made effort to continue to see and support each other. There was some drifting due to everyone being busy and she did struggle with loneliness and other issues for quite some time, but she knew she was not abandoned by her friends and that they still cared for each other.

The Heartfilia line is an ancient one, Lucy is trying to research it and Celestial Spirit magic in general. Certain bloodlines/families were associated to particular Spirits and have inherent abilities related to them – the Heartfilia family is connected to Cancer and has empathic abilities. Lucy is not fully aware of being an empath or her potential with it.

Taurus is not a perv

Brandish – the whole connection between Lucy, Brandish, their mothers, and Aquarius is not a thing here.

She is a current member of Fairy Tail still. The Master is Not Makarov (but my main verse is not set on who the master is yet, so its up to interpretation or general vagueness).

She does not have romantic/sexual feelings for Natsu. Her sexual and romantic preference is very much towards women (but its not something she’s thought too much about yet). When it comes to guys, she is demisexual/demiromantic.

Ch505-527

Ch505: The Fire

kon! long time no see :’)

“burn. i am finally able to express my condolences. choujirou.” the guardian of hell...that turns everything into ashes....

/lies down, eviscerated by the old man yaoi of it all (also the loyalty that reminds me a bit of ikkaku & ken-chan....inch resting...)

CANG!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!

“it’s been over 1000 years. juha bach. i came here...to annihilate you.” DAMN!

Ch506: The Fire 2

wait so this bach is one of the twins, right? so did ken-chan actually dispose of the other one or

“my dad can beat up your dad” - accutron

Ch507: The Fire 3

i see we have reached the era of “trollface comics included at the end of the chapter”

Ch508: Like a Raging Fire

YES THE ZOMBIE ARMY

Ch509: Tenchi Kaijin

man this art is so incredible and gorgeous

“you cannot steal something whose limit is unknown” huh

Ch510: The Extinction

so that /was/ the last time he and okikiba talked....oh :(

Ch511: Die Standing

who knows how much of this yamajii backstory is true given that it’s coming from bach...although he and unohana definitely were that kind of person back in the day so it’s perhaps at least somewhere in the middle

Ch512: Everything But The Rain

ahh it’s raining....i’d forgotten that this chapter had this title as well

“i will not last much longer...despite being a captain of one of the gotei 13, i was unable to defeat the foul enemy who invaded seireitei. i let many valuable soldiers die, causing the suffering of their subordinates and families, and in the end i was defeated miserably. i am ashamed of this. on the other hand, you are a human. normally, not only you shouldn’t be involved in all this...you should not even be here now...yet...i’m going to ask you a favor. please forgive this despicable behavior of mine. please...protect soul society, ichigo kurosaki!”

:( BYAKUYAAAAA

and the ending meme refs his ‘death’....we could not have known. we never could have known.

Ch513: The Dark Moon Stroke

“byakuya, the noble shinigami, entrusted him with his last will!” yeah there was no ambiguity there SHUEISHA

the getsuga tenshou comes out in a shape like the crescent moon huh...that would, i suppose, be the titular “dark moon stroke” (i am slow at these things sometimes ok)

Ch514: Born in the Darkness

telegraphing just as loud as your quincy bedspread in the anime: you, my child, are a quincy. surprise!

ooooh i see....kyoka suigetsu strikes again

Ch515: Relics

isane....unohana....man. we see how tough this is on shunsui, but for unohana--she’d known yamajii longer than anyone, sasakibe probably the same, all their old comrades from back then had died...this is the final order yamajii gave her (& her squad) and she’s holding onto that, and him, for just a little longer...and she probably knows she can’t wait any longer for her rematch with ken-chan, in which she’s going to have to die....and all of this happened within a few days and she is thousands of years old. :(

“-sama” wrow ichigo

and it’s still raining. and rukia doesn’t know about byakkun (did they really reveal he was ~alive~ this soon after? maybe that really long hiatus was between these parts but for some reason i thought it was like....august-september and one of the earlier chaps in this part mentioned it was mid-september on the wsj cover but it was uh. almost 10 years ago and this recap series has demonstrated the faultiness of my memory already)

heh the meme at the back was like “bleach will never end!” and....they were right, but they didn’t know it :’)

Ch516: The Squad Zero

sldfkj is there anyone who /doesn’t/ know about ikkaku’s bankai

Ch517: The Stairway to Heaven

thanks for the earworm kubo

OH MAN UNOHANA’S FACE FUCK THE PAIN

Ch518: The Shooting Star Project (Zero Mix)

og shooting star project (& its remix) were kuukaku.

lol grimmjow pls

kisuke ur right on the money, ofc ichigo will protect everyone

“ganju...he became huge and turned into stone, so im using him to hold the banner” KUUKAKU PLS

and the return of fullbringers huh

Ch519: Hot Hot Heat

so many great ichigo faces...

Ch520: Killers Not Dead

meanwhile, in soul society...!?

“i can see why the king of souls would fall for him” sldkfjs 

AWWW YEAH KENPACHI FIGHT

Ch521: A Piggy Party

ichigo, to renji: you’re staying on the bottom!

it’s just like how ichigo looks in orihime-vision....

Ch522: Love It

“mysterious plushie-chan” sldkfj

Ch523: Words of Origin

which is on top? well, sexually, yes, but also who is the king and who is the horse?

speaking of who’s on top...”you’re taciturn, but i like that. because as long as i hear your voice, the only wound i have can’t stop throbbing.” i don’t remember it being this shippy!

Ch524: The Drop

isane and the love letter huh....she /did/ know about the scar, confirmed and all, so...i wonder. and she was confirmed in love with unohana--did unohana know? were they together?

Ch525: Edges*

it’s ‘if i’m admiring i can’t surpass’ all over again huh

Ch526: The Battle

“you’re the only man in the world that could make me happy” as she is impaled on a blank background. good romantic shit.

yes being impaled on a sword is always romantic but like, the pose here? incredible. lovely.

(also thinking about how her power resembles barragan’s a bit...)

Ch527: Eliminate From Heaven

“you have enemies to fight...friends to argue with (byakuya, ichigo, and...renji apparently?)”

“the one that’s been watching” huh...well. yes i suppose.

[headinabox]

so i read orv and then went wild and wrote my longest fic so far!

it’s canon divergent for the “epilogue” and has major identity spoilers (so ~ch512 and on)

Chapter 512

[bleachall]

[opbackgrounds]

The slightly scribbled look to Luffy's pupils goes a long way to show how utterly desperate he is

[every-sanji]

[opbackgrounds]

I think Chopper deciding to go full Monster Point is the saddest thing that happens this chapter, with Robin trying to stop him? A panel later on will show that Robin heard what he did on Enies Lobby so she knows it's not good, and unlike that time Chopper himself hasn't really been targeted yet. He's seeing all the people he cares about fall one after another and decides becoming a rampaging beast is better than watching his family die. The idea of being a monster is such an emotionally fraught thing to him, so it's just another in a long list showing how bad the situation right now is.

[opbackgrounds]

I hadn't noticed until this read-through that Kuma's bible has the same symbol on it as his shirt. I'd always seen the shirt design as a bullseye symbol, which fit with him yeeting people everywhere, but honestly now with it being a religious symbol I think it looks too much like Reverse Mountain to be a coincidence

[opbackgrounds]

It doesn't get much attention with everything else is going on, but this is a very good section for Sanji and a nice follow up from the end of Thriller Bark. He talks a big game, but at the end of the day he knows how hurt Zoro is, so he's willing to leave behind Nami to try to help him

[opbackgrounds]

I love that Brook grabbed Zoro's swords

[opbackgrounds]

Brook is good

[opbackgrounds]

A cool thing Oda does this fight is have the Dark King constantly drawn in deep shadow when going against light man Kizaru
