#dark jellal idea

[yamishika]

Tell me why is it when I am reaching the end of my extensive Jellal backstory fanfic, that my brain has now thought ‘oh what if I did a different timeline and Jellal IS allowed to rise to the ranks of the prestigious/elite heritage that he was born in rather than being deemed a social outcast, but then he’s now in the helm of indoctrination and a corrupt government for the dues of his blood….’

I mean morally bankrupt Jellal due to his upbringing meeting Erza and the others not due to the tower of cultists but the hidden horrors of his own blood and nation’s way where cultism is pretty much run on a national scale.

I can’t lie…this idea is really cooking for me and I really want to explore how the dynamic of Jerza will save Jellal and others from the chaos and chains that they were born and brought up in.

I don’t know, would anyone who has seen my writing be interested in me writing an alternate version of The Devil That Dreamt Of Paradise; however now Jellal is allowed to rise to the ranks bestowed to him by his blood, however rather than a means of being saved, it has damned him into the heart of corruption.

And it’s going to take the ones who aren’t blinded by the ploys of a delicately constructed society and birthed in corruption to free those who are.

Tell me what are the thoughts on this? Even if you haven’t read my writing, any Jellal fans would you be interested in seeing the character of Jellal being written into clear moral ambiguity and how that develops in the presence of societal corruption or is conflicted by external factors (e.g planned Jerza, Jellal himself questioning his circumstances naturally and facing internal conflictions, the sins and obedience rising to their limits and their consequences etc)

Would anyone be interested in seeing something like that written?

If anyone wants to see the original headcanon plots which the idea of this AU is being derived yet is subverting from, the link to the post is below :

Thank you to all that took the time to read this, please tell me your thoughts if you can.

I hope you all have a great day 🫶🏻

It's the busy season at fairy tail. Most of the adults are out on jobs. That includes five year old Nasha's parents.

Nasha was sitting at a table in the guildhall and drawing with crayons. She was bored and a bit sad as she drew. Her parents had been away longer than they had promised. And despite many of the adults reassuring her that they would be fine. She was getting worried they didn't want her anymore.

Her parents had not gone alone, as her big brother happy, uncle Gray and auntie Wendy and auntie Erza and uncle jellal had also gone on this specific job. Since both hers and some of her friends parents were busy with work or preparations for some big event lately, they had all had a big sleepover at her auntie mirajane's house. As much fun as it was, she was getting restless.

While Nasha usually would have loved to go out and play with her friends, she was actually a few years younger than the others (as I hc she was born quite a bit later than the other's first kids) so she felt a little left out, as the others had gone to the park to play. And her mommy didn't like her playing outside without adult supervision. And so she sat in the guild hall drawing by herself. Some of the adults came up to her from time to time to check how she was doing. But despite being told not to lie, she lied and said she was ok.

A bit after she had drawn on all the paper she had. She got an idea. If mommy and daddy didn't come home to her. She would simply have to go to them. Once nobody was looking. She snuck to the door and left the guildhall. Luckily, she has gotten her daddy's nose and she tried to find and follow her parents scents. After a bit of walking around she realized she had forgotten her mommy's aquarius key back at the guildhall, but no Matter. She had a trail to follow. She snuck around so she wouldn't be seen. And soon made it out of the city.

She walked and walked. She has gone into the forest, she had been here before with her parents. So she wasn't very scared. (Not really). . But soon, she realized she had gotten lost, and it was getting dark. It was only now she understood that she had done something silly. And she started crying. She cried and cried for her parents and other adults she knew. And someone did hear her. A huge Vulcan appeared from the dark trees. She was horrified and froze in fear. And just as it was about to grab her. She heard a familiar voice. As her father appeared out of nowhere, hitting the monster away with a firery punch.

Chapter 5

-------x-------

Gray couldn’t stop blushing. Did Juvia just have to… And in front of Erza! He felt embarrassed just remembering the look his friend gave him, all smug like she knew everything about them.

Wait, but didn’t she after all?

He looked blankly, understanding that he had just fallen into his “pushing his feelings apart and trying to be unaffected” tendency. This wasn’t fair to any of them. Erza was the one who noticed he reciprocated Juvia’s feelings and insisted so many times that he should act on them.

He tried to control his instincts and think rationally. There was no problem with his friend seeing him vulnerable and flustered from receiving affection, right? He thought about the redhead and Jellal, Natsu and Lucy (who acted like an old married couple despite their denial), all his friends who were - or were close to being - in a relationship. They didn’t have any restraint showing their love. He wanted to be like that so bad. He wanted to become a man good enough for Juvia.  But he was trying, wasn’t he?

He knew he loved her, that was clear as day for him, and he wanted to do everything a couple did with her. It wasn’t that he felt self-conscious or that he didn’t feel the need to engage in PDA. Far from that, actually. The problem was that he had spent so much time in denial, trying to act cool or even push people back that sometimes his first reaction was being a goddamn tsundere (Natsu once teasingly used his word, which he learnt from Lucy, to describe him. It made a lot of sense now why he’d call him that).

But he could work on his issues, right? That dating advice book said that admitting your faults was the first step of becoming better. He could be a good boyfriend. He thought of Gajeel and Levy, how far they’ve come and how the dragon slayer was a totally different person now. Yeah, he could do it.

“Hey, Ice Prick!”

“Wow, Natsu, I didn’t believe you could get three feet further from the appetizers table.”

The dragon slayer pouted. “This part is sooooo boring. I was about to call a random dude for a brawl when Luce told me she was not feeling good. We’re heading back to the hotel now.”

“Really?” Gray saw Lucy wink at him discreetly and he remembered that she wanted to get Natsu as far as possible from Bora before they saw each other. “Oh, of course, sure, yeah, great idea. You should go right now, actually, no need to wait for the girls to return from the- eh, restroom.”

Lucy rolled her eyes at his terrible lie. However, Natsu being the dumbass that he was, didn’t notice; He just dragged her out of the party with a ‘see you soon’ to Gray. About ten minutes later, the girls were back.

“Our plan was a success!” Erza exclaimed

“Did he tell you something useful?”

“No.”

“...”

“Well, not yet . But he will soon enough, because we have an opportunity to talk to him privately this week.”

Gray, although excited with the news, was already sure the girls would go well at that task. After all, Erza was there (that girl always got free cake with her flirting talents). And Juvia, although shy, was gorgeous so he could see any guy bending over to her wants. Himself included.

“Um, Erza-san…”

“Oh, of course, my mistake. I’m not the one who did it. The merit is all Juvia’s. I was merely a flat, useless blob the whole conversation.”

“T-That’s not…”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Ludovic/Bora  had no interest in me, he even called me Erika at one point. His eyes were on Juvia the whole time.”

Juvia’s face was red at this point, and while Gray couldn’t blame Bora at all (fool was the one who didn’t notice her beauty), he couldn’t help feeling weird about it.

“Oh, really? That 's… great.”

“It is! And our girl here will go on this date with him and uncover all his dark secrets for us!!!”

“…What?”

Gray was shocked at this information. If he felt weird about it at first, now he was completely uncomfortable. Juvia, going on a fake date with this dude? The same dude who literally tried to kidnap Lucy for his women trafficking deals?

Gray didn’t care whether the prick had turned into good sides. He could even be innocent, still gray would be cautious. Sure, Juvia could take care of herself, but it nonetheless made him feel cautious about this idea.

“Erza-san! Let’s go back to the inn first and discuss this with the others before making any decisions, please.”

“Oh, of course. Sorry for getting ahead of myself, Juvia. You’re right.

Gray couldn’t form a single thought.

-x-

Juvia was glad she managed to talk Erza down and buy some time for her brain to think of a plan. She didn’t want to do this, not if she could avoid it. There were other solutions, right? She hoped there were.

When they got to the inn’s accommodation, Wendy and Carla were also there with them.

“Natsu, I’ve said a million times that I’m good, there’s no need for Wendy’s magic!” Lucy turned to Gray “Help me out!”

“But Luce-“

“Oh, cut the crap you two. We have important news!” Erza said, establishing order in the room. 

“We have a plan to approach Bora and find proof that he’s plagiarized Octavius.”

Natsu snapped his head and looked into Erza’s eyes. “Approach who ?”

The room fell silent.

-x- 

After fifteen minutes of convincing Natsu to get his shit together (which may or may not have needed Erza’s fist colliding against his head to work), they resumed their discussion. Natsu was currently tied up to the chair and though usually this wouldn’t stop him at all from going berserk over Bora’s reappearance, Erza’s deathly glare kept him quiet.

Juvia fidgeted uncomfortably as her friend told everyone about her excellent job in seducing Bora. This was going terrible, she thought over and over. She’d do anything to help her friends, sure, but it didn’t make the task in hand any easier. She wasn’t an actress, her feelings were always at display like an open book. How would she put aside her personal issues? How did anyone do it?

Her body was starting to turn into water without her control as everyone talked at the same time about when to do the date, where to go, what Juvia should say and how she should act. She closed her eyes, hoping it would stop. She wasn’t good at this, it wouldn’t work…

Suddenly, she felt a hand petting the top of her head. She jumped in surprise. Her eyes opened and she saw her darling staring at her in worry.

“Juv? Are you okay?”

Juvia looked around, her friends were all staring. It seemed they noticed she wasn’t well.

“Uh… there’s something Juvia needs to tell you. Bora didn’t recognise her since it was long ago, when she was a Phantom Lord mage, but…”

Gray caressed her shoulder. His hands were so warm… Juvia avoided his look and tried to ignore hos his hands stopped moving when she spoke again:

“Bora is Juvia’s ex-boyfriend.”

ultear, meredy, and the sea

inspired by a convo with @thehylianidiot

♡ when lyon melted the iced shell around deliora, ur's body and consciousness flowed into the ocean.

♡ sometimes, when she's feeling lost, ultear goes to the beach and stands on the sand for hours. water laps at her ankles, and she feels an inexplicable draw to the tide. if she listens closely, she can just barely make out a woman's voice humming a long-lost lullaby.

♡ before their attack on tenrou island, ultear takes meredy to the beach. it's a quiet trip, and meredy doesn't understand the significance of this moment yet. it's when they're in the waters around tenrou, ultear's blood staining meredy as she hauls her mother onto the small boat, that she sees the figure: a lean, athletic woman with short, dark hair shimmering in the distance. maybe it's her sensory link magic, maybe it's the heightened emotions of the day, maybe it's a subconscious instinct, but meredy nods to the woman, pressing her hand to her heart. ultear coughs up seawater, and the figure disappears.

♡ ultear casts lost ages. she's alone, surrounded by the rubble of destroyed buildings, and there's no water in sight. but when the spell rushes through her, she swears she's in a river, the current threatening to drown her, and someone is trying to pull her out.

♡ meredy takes ultear to the seaside. crime sorcière is put on hold. ultear survived last ages, but it took her magic, and none of them know how to keep going.

♡ ultear walks along the beach. she walks and walks and walks until the sun starts setting. she turns, facing the horizon and opening her arms. the wind caresses her, soothes her pain, and she can almost feel her mother's touch.

♡ meredy starts talking to the water. ultear is a quiet companion, and jellal comes and goes like the tide. meredy talks about her parents, blurred faces she can't remember. she talks about grimoire heart and meeting ultear. she talks about them now, something fundamentally lost in her mother. she talks about ur, who she knows so little about. "I think she would've loved ultear." meredy whispers, and the water seems to dance.

♡ on a particularly bad night, full of nightmares and delirious cries, meredy runs into the ocean. her hands glow pink as she activates a sensory link. that familiar, unfamiliar figure appears. meredy feels a sense of relief, crashing into the tide. the young woman falls asleep in her grandmother's arms.

♡ it's later, much later, when ultear and meredy find themselves on the beach together. ultear feels better, more grounded. she talks more and laughs more and even teases meredy sometimes. they might move again, perhaps to be closer to gray or lyon. meredy likes the idea, as long as they stay by the sea. ultear doesn't argue, splashing her playfully.

♡ the boxes are packed and gone, carted off by lyon, gray, and the ever lively team natsu to hargeon. the cottage is empty, a layer of sand on the windowsill. jellal is waiting for them at the train station. ultear and meredy stand on the beach, water swirling around them. meredy clutches ultear's hand, activating her magic, and suddenly there's three of them. it's one of the only times she sees her mother cry.

♡ ultear brings a pretty glass bottle of seawater into their new apartment, placing it on a little table. it fits right in with the vase of blooming white flowers and the framed pictures of a younger meredy, gray and lyon arguing, jellal and ultear laughing.

♡ they've settled in well. hargeon is a beautiful port town, and ultear feels color creep back into her life.

♡ in the dead of night, when everyone is sleeping and only the sea marches on, ultear hears a faint voice telling stories to her daughter, and smiles.

Natsu Dragneel: Hogwarts AU

Natsu Dragneel is a Half-Blood wizard that was born on the 7th of July 1973 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1984, being sorted into Gryffindor house.

He has a Ash wand with a Dragon Heartstring core.

His Patronus is a Chinese Fireball Dragon.

His favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts and his least favorite is Flying.

He was the Headboy of his year.

Natsu is carefree and reckless in nature, and, despite his consistent brawls with the other members of Gryffindor house, he is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He is willing to go down fighting for his friends, regardless of how futile it might seem. Natsu has a straightforward mind, and often tackles issues with a "hands on" approach. His solution to problems often involve violence. Even when disrespected or faced with obvious hostility, Natsu rarely ever reciprocates the feelings, and often forgoes grudge-holding. He did, however, for a short time, hold a grudge against Jellal Fernandes, but eventually forgave him and considered him an ally. He occasionally shows compassion for his enemies, such as when Cobra was betrayed by Brain. Natsu rarely exhibits any perverse tendencies towards the opposite sex, there only being two noted instances. The first is seen prior to the Triwizard Tournament, when he is seen trying to peek, along with several other of his male classmates, on the women as they bathed in the Prefect's Bathroom. The second is when Lucy comes crashing into him while nude, and he stares at her body, even groping her breasts for a moment. Natsu is rather immature, making an enemy laugh during duels, or even pulling pranks on others. That being said, it has led to foes to underestimate him and fall his tricks as well. Despite his childish side, Natsu can be responsible enough when looking after someone.

Natsu continuously tries to prove his strength to others. At various points in time, he has challenged Erza, Laxus, Mirajane, and even Gildarts (in short, all of the top students in each year), to fight him, albeit, he was beaten every single time. Despite his losses, Natsu bears them no ill will, as he considers everyone at Hogwarts to be his family. He demonstrates this attitude even towards former enemies. Natsu has even gone as far as defending Laxus from being expelled, despite him opening the Chamber of Secrets. Due to his reckless nature, Natsu's duels usually ends with widespread destruction. Natsu's love of duelling has allowed him to develop a rather strategic mind, helping him to, on various occasions, find weaknesses in his opponent's techniques, or simply weaknesses his opponents themselves possess. Natsu has also defeated his opponents with pure wit, rather than strong spells. Natsu, befitting his recklessness and love of duelling, never backs out of a duel. Natsu’s love for combat is purely for pitting all his strength against others and see who comes out on top and doesn’t like the idea of murdering people. That being said, Natsu he’ll do whatever it takes to win in serious all out war if it means securing everyone’s safety.

Natsu hates the idea of self sacrificing one’s life and has prevented those closest to from attempting so, believing it causes others more pain than good, also showcasing how much Natsu values life itself. Natsu values family above all else, stemming from the time he mysteriously lost Igneel the only family he’s known thus holds onto his current one he’s build within Gryffindor house and gets mad at anyone who do not appreciate those closest to them.

Ever since their meeting, Natsu has gotten rather close to Lucy, even being overly familiar with her, such as casually breaking into her dorm room, much to her and her roommates' annoyance. Natsu has admitted that he’s always felt comfortable around her, which he believes is due to her having a similar aura to Anna who cared for him when he was a child. Lucy clearly means a lot to Natsu, always concerned for her safety, trusts her a great deal and grateful for all the help she’s given. He gets enraged at anyone who would so much as harm her a great deal. More recently, Natsu has attempted to keep his recklessness in check as per Lucy’s advice, even when provoked into fighting by others.

Natsu was very close to Lisanna for helping him raise Happy who would become his partner and trusted best friend. Because of this, after her supposed death, no one at Hogwarts mentioned her out of respect for his feelings. However, after Lisanna's return to Hogwarts from captivity, this is no longer the case.

Out of his fellow Gryffindors, Natsu feels most antagonistic towards Gray, as the two constantly fight and bicker every chance they have since childhood. The two were even initially reluctant on being in the same house and usually acted friendly towards each other to avoid Erza’s scolding. Despite all this, they do care for each other as much as anyone in Gryffindor, Natsu has carried Gray when he’s down, even preventing Gray from sacrificing himself numerous times, even being saddened to tears. The two are shown at times to at least get along in friendly competitions.

Natsu fears Erza the most out everyone and panics if he ever gets on her bad side, yet still challenges her to duel when he can. Natsu respects Erza for her strength, saying she’s at her best when she’s strong and violent, thus gets mad at anyone who so much as brings her sadness. Natsu would go as far as defy the Ministry of Magic for Erza’s sake, such as attempting to stop Jellal’s imprisonment knowing it would’ve hurt Erza despite his own issues with him at the time.

Due to all of his trips to Romania as a kid, Natsu suffers from motion sickness. Natsu becomes sick from riding on any form of transportation, even if the transportation happens to be other people, as shown when he was carried by Lucy. This, however, does not apply to dragons, as he considers them family, not transportation. Natsu can become sick from looking at, or simply thinking about, any form of transportation. In spite of his naturally dense nature, Natsu is quite perceptive and understanding of his friend's feelings. After his O.W.L.S. in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Natsu came to understand and accept fear, and has used this acceptance to help his friends and himself emotionally grow. Prior to this event, Erza’s wrath (albeit for comic relief), transportation, and the Ministry of Magic were the only things that Natsu feared.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Review - Episode 19

Great episode. Lots happened and lots more was set up.

LETS GO GAJEEL. Simultaneously beating Aldoron and protecting the rest of the Fairy Tail members. Absolutely awesome. I’m surprised we never saw him rub this in Natsu’s face lol.

The Natsu and Aldoron fight was one of the better ones in this show. The characterization of Aldoron helped make it more meaningful. When Aldoron was introduced, I said his coexistence with the people living on him was too similar to Mercphobia, but this episode showed that he’s the exact opposite. Aldoron believes humans to be below dragons and merely sees them as food for himself. This aspect of him was introduced in this episode, and I think it would have been better if it was set up earlier. Maybe the other God Seeds could have projected this same mindset in their own fights since they are technically part of Aldoron too.

I’m going to be honest, the people who lived on Aldoron seemed like they always knew they would become his nutrients. They actually seemed pretty happy about it, so I think it would have been more impactful if they’d been a bit more innocent/naive about Aldoron.

I’m not sure how I feel about Natsu suddenly being able to now use Ignia’s fire when it made him go destructive mode last time. I could be convinced that he’s not using it at the same strength since it was mixed with Igneel’s flame this time.

Also, Natsu mentions that this mixture of different Fire Dragon flames is his own flame. And it kind of isn’t. It’s still categorized as being part Igneel and part Ignia (most original ideas are based off other things you take inspiration from but it’s the way this fire is recognized as someone else’s instead of something seemingly new). I would love to see Natsu be able to actually develop a fire that represents himself. Maybe it is based off of traits from Igneel and Ignia’s fires, but it takes on some other traits (like protectiveness or passion) because it is Natsu’s. Natsu isn’t destructive like Ignia and while he learned from Igneel, his fire wouldn’t be the exact same as Igneel’s.

Let’s see if the newest Diabolos member revealed will finally make me take them seriously. Like, you guys haven’t been able to do jack shit against the previous God Dragons and I’m not convinced that will change.

Also, if they ever defeat a God Dragon, who’s going to eat it? It looks like their Guild Master wants it for himself, but I thought at least Kiria seemed pretty set on eating a God Dragon (They could split it but this group doesn’t seem gungho on sharing). Honestly, their Guild Master is not threatening whatsoever. He wants to devour a God Dragon and just sits around in a dark room waiting for his lackeys to bring one back to him. Go out and get one yourself.

Love some good old Fairy Tail antics. Seeing everyone freak out at Gray actually returning Juvia’s affection was funny.

They once again decide not to tie up the White Mage while she’s unconscious which is such a bad move. You don’t need to tie up Touka, but you should probably tie up the person who managed to hypnotize over half the guild. I’m not going to be surprised if the White Mage escapes or something. No one is watching her at all.

Jellal and Erza stuff was good. I hope to see more Jellal growth if he continues showing up. I thought they kissed during this scene but it was just a hug.

Looks like we’re moving onto the Moon God Dragon next. I’m curious what the previously hypnotized Fairy Tail members and Jellal are going to do. Assumedly, they just go back to Fiore and go about their business as before.

I’m also very interested in what Touka/the White Mage will do. I would love to see if she has a role in the Moon God Dragon arc because she got tricked by Selene into being involved in all the Aldoron stuff. Will she go after Selene? Will she team up with Fairy Tail to get revenge?

Very excited to see what comes next. The Moon God Dragon seems very cunning from her involvement with Aldoron, so she already comes off as an interesting opponent.

Oracion Seis-Building Blocks for Plot

If you ask a Fairy Tail fan “when does the story become more serious?” there is no definite answer. Some may say around Tenrou Island or even early on during the Phantom Lord arc or during the Galuna Island arc. However, Fairy Tail never truly gets serious until later. It just seems to add plot. It just needs to break up the comedy well with backstories and tragedy. However, if you were to ask me I would say the Oracion Seis arc, a great mix of everything Fairy Tail has. It has memorable villains, memorable side characters who hold significance later in the series, and brings in the center plot of Fairy Tail.  Oracion Seis introduces us to the ‘plot’ of Fairy Tail without quite telling us what this plot is. Of course the center plot is having an adventure. Natsu finding Igneel and the others with their lives in Fairy Tail, but it pushes something forward for someone not into the slice of life aspect of Fairy Tail. This, of course, is the idea of the Balam Alliance.An alliance of dark guilds, centered around a center three; Oracion Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Tartaros. Each of these bring excellent arcs to follow their stories but the first one we will talk about will be the first one they truly fight, Oracion Seis.  With the introduction to the Oracion Seis arc comes the introduction to multiple characters as well. Here we find out more details about other guilds other than a piece of Blue Pegasus’ past and the fact that there are more guild masters out there. Here we get main characters that we will be seeing a great deal of through upcoming arcs, though they are pretty much all after the seven year timeskip. We even see some returning ones like Lyon and Sherry, who have moved on from their days trying to revive Deliora and we are introduced to another Wizard Saint, Jura. Of course the main person we are introduced to is Wendy and her cat Carla. I must admit for a great while I hated these two, I felt their introduction is when the show started to get stale. Then over time Wendy began to grow on me as I saw her grow up like you would watching a little girl. Carla, on the other hand, did not grow on me at all and I still have a love hate relationship with her. i wont go into too much detail on the Oracion Seis arc, but I do remember finding it a bit exciting. It is still not in the top quality of arcs in my opinion, but it still holds your attention well enough. I’m here to discuss how Oracion built up the plotline in an intriguing way. Fairy Tail’s plot came pretty late. Of course, as stated before, you have the center plot of a journey still in action. But this is the main plot with actual villains who would want to put an end to the world. The villains this arc make their returns in later arcs, well most of them, and we still watch them grow and develop into their own redemption later on. Having them connected to Tower of Heaven was even better. The way that they are directly tie into Erza and Jellal’s past but still are independent from them (for the most part) is interesting. It goes to show yet another domino that fell into place as the story developed.  Oracion Seis was enough to get us interested in the alliance and the concept of it and make us worry for our characters. Of course they faced difficult opponents before, but nothing like this level. Nothing that required them to work with other guilds, which once again ties into the theme of friendships. It would have been great if we got some Gajeel and Juvia moments with them also defeating parts of the Oracion Seis guild (like we are told they were doing), but I understand why they weren’t there. (I am just dying for more moments with their sibling like bond okay?)  The Oracion Seis guild ad nothing special to it like the others did. The only ‘big connection’ that they had to the characters was Angel being the murderer for Loke’s previous master. It doesn’t stand out to me in an alliance with things such as ‘Grimoire Heart’ and for sure not ‘Tartaros’ with each having great magic users that were extremely dangerous and had slayers and demons. But we can’t all expect it to be that planned out. Oh and I must mention that plot twist at the very end with Wendy’s guild always gets me. She was only twelve when it was ripped away like a Band-Aid and replaced with Fairy Tail. If you say she was there since six years old, that was six years that were spent there roughly only for it to be gone. That will always bring me pain and I’m glad they mentioned it in the Final Arc with them pretending to be in Cait Shelter. Before I end this I would like to say, although I saw it coming a mile away when Yukino mentioned her sister, I love that plot twist. The sibling dynamic between Yukino and Sorano is hilarious. Not to mention this is when we see the real Jellal, who is guilty for his crimes although he doesn’t know what had happened. The pain Erza feels must be so hard, but I’m glad that it is settled now. He definitely deserves it after that chaos. But I would love to hear what you all think about this arc. I wish I could go into more detail, but there isn’t much I can possibly put into words. I was pretty happy with the outcome in the end, especially that scene with everyone holding up Christina while flying it to help Natsu and the gang before crashing again.

Anyways, I’ll see you all later in the Deep End!!

CANON DIVERGENCE: MAIN VERSE.

i. KINANA ╱ CUBELLIOS. needless to say, they are not dating. erik is aware of kinana's existence, as well as her identity as his former snake. he does not approach her, so she does not know who he is due to her memory loss. erik does occasionally check up on her from afar, mostly to ensure that she is safe & happy. he does still feel a familial kinship towards her, however he currently has no desire to uproot her peaceful life to stir up memories that he knows will cause more harm than help.

ii. CRIME SORCIERE. per plotting, the battle of jellal vs. the oracion seis never happens. the oracion seis are sought to join jellal’s ranks due to their potential shared motives ( aka. hating zeref ), strength ( hello, they were some of the top strongest dark wizards in fiore ), & for jellal’s own personal form of atonement ( helping the former tower of heaven children seek peace ). jellal proposes the idea of them joining his guild in a civil manner. the oracion seis do agree with some reluctance. erik is the most stubborn to accept the offer. although their trust in jellal still wears thin, they do initially join for survival purposes. they were wanted criminals who were freed from jail after 7 years. given jellal’s expertise of living life as a fugitive, it’s only fitting for them to want to join for self preservation. 

iii. MASTER BRAIN'S "DEATH". the former oracion seis guild master is currently alive, probably not well, & incarcerated. erik never negotiated master brain's freedom with the rest of his guild members. ( more information on why can be found here )

iv. ALVAREZ ARC. i don't know what's happening anymore but erik's hearing abilities getting plot-armored away in every battle frustrates me. erik still 'hears everything' & his hearing can't be cancelled out as his hearing ability goes beyond just 'listening to thoughts'. regardless, that alone doesn't necessarily give him too much advantage over certain powerful opponents.

v. GENERAL NOTES.

the key of the starry sky anime arc is not included in my portrayal.

acnologia's defeat is a collective effort by all dragon slayers. there is no passing of magic power to natsu.

erik is conditionally pardoned with the rest of crime sorciere. ( see CS pardon headcanon. )

crime sorciere is dissolved post pardon, but erik still spends time with his former guild mates when possible. if allowed, he expresses no interest joining any other guild at this time.

erik takes no role in events related to the ft 100 years quest sequel.

NO SNAKE PANTS.

[pyropsychiccollector]

Imagine a situation in which Irene never left Erza in Rosemary Village or at the very least visited her sometimes after she left. How would that change the fate of Erza and others who were in Rosemary?

Also, would they join FT guild and would Irene start shipping Erza and Natsu after they meet?

I've seen this idea roll around the community, years ago. :P I mean, it'd be cool in some aspects I guess, trouble is that you're missing the point of Irene leaving Erza behind. It was her way of protecting Erza, 'cause Irene knew that keeping Erza around would've been too tempting to hop into her body to be human again. Irene would have to overcome that urge/obsession to swap bodies with her daughter.... Just saying. lol Irene probably would stomp the Dark Guilds that came around to raze the village and take the children, but that does rely too heavily on changing Irene as a character. Gotta work your way up to that.

It'd take circumstances for Erza and Irene to run into FT in that world. It's not impossible, just takes circumstances. Naturally, Irene likes Natsu a lot more than Jellal.... Well, if Jellal ever enters the picture again.

[yamishika]

have any other ethnicity headcanons for fairy tail characters?

Fairy Tail Characters Ethnicity HCs

I don’t have as much extensive proof as I do for my Erik headcanons post but I will explain my thoughts for why I think certain ethnicities.

Natsu Dragneel : Japanese + Greek? (Because of the clothing style in his past flashback with his biological family)

Erza Scarlet : British + ? - I say British because she reminds me of Lara Croft who in her older days had reddish hair, also English history is big on knights, which Erza is. The other half I can’t tell as I don’t actually know what to think of her father Rung as. He seems like a POC though. (Maybe Mexican?)

Lucy Heartfilia : British / American - Because Lucy’s heritage as a noble it reminds me more of English nobility, but then her characteristics remind me more of american for some reason (it doesn’t help that Lucy looks a lot like Ashley Graham from the original RE4 and she’s American so I am kind of biased there)

Gray Fullbuster : Canada or Serbia (I think that’s mainly because I am making the link of cold countries though). Also if with Serbian I can see Ultear and him coming from similar places)

Gajeel Redfox : Native American (His hair and features remind me of Native Americans and I don’t know he kind of reminds me and looks like of Ratohnhake:ton / Connor from AC3) Juvia Lockser : Spanish + Russian (Spanish as the name Juvia is Spanish origin and Russian since the ushanka she wears and her clothing style in general)

Jellal Fernandes : Mixed ethnic - Mixed Arab (mainly Levantine Arab) + Brazilian, but then in my HCs he’s also part Desi too since the name Jellal is most prominent in India (And I want Erik to have a desi bro in CS). And the Arab/South asian idea came from him wearing Kohl/Surma in S1 in the anime. 

Ultear Milkovich : Serbian with mixed Central Asian or Kazakh (Again cold countries but since Ultear looks Eurasian but with dark features these countries came to mind. Serbia because apparently the name Milkovich is Serbian origin)

Macbeth/Midnight :  English w/Scottish + Irish + Japanese - English/Scottish/Irish is a given since his name ‘Macbeth’ but since his aesthetic is alike to Visual Kei, I see Japanese influence. But I don’t know, I just can see Macbeth with a british accent, maybe that’s just me.

Sorano Aguria : French and Korean/Japanese (I don’t know why I have the French, it just fits me when discussing with my friend @acutemushroom. Korean/Japanese because despite having a Japanese name (her and Yukino) due to her features she gave me kind of Korean vibes for some reason)

Sawyer : English (I can’t explain other than the name. But I thought of Romanian too for some reason, so English + Romanian?)

Richard Buchanan : South African + Scottish? (My only thought for this was because Buchanan I knew it as a last name big in South Africa, and Scottish is probably because of the red hair and ruddy complexion that I know scottish people can have)

Meredy : Irish (I don’t know why, it was hard to think of anything for her)

Kinana : Desi (Since the name Kinana is an urdu name apparently - So Pakistani) 

Cana Alberona : Irish + Italian (Guildarts gave me tanned Irish vibes for some reason and Alberona is I believe an Italian name)

Minerva Orland : Chinese + Latina (She wears a Cheongsam and her hair reminds me of Chinese culture but then I see Latina too) BUT, maybe she has Egyptian too and Italian since Minerva (Italian/Latin) but the blue eyeliner/eyeshadow she always has is alike to Malachite powder that was used by ancient egyptians 

Laxus Dreyar : Ukrainian + Russian (He gives me eastern europe vibes and also his features) but also since he's Makarov’s grandson he’d have Russian in him 

Makarov Dreyar : Russian - (I think his full name is of Russian origin but I can't be sure.) These are the HCs I have off the top of my head, hope this answers your question!

by Claradare

It’s been almost 12 years since 17-year-old Layla was found living alone on the streets and put in foster care, and she likes to think she’s done a pretty good job of forgetting the past. She doesn’t remember her birth family, the name “Nashi Dragneel,” or where she heard the absurd stories she told the police who found her. Stories about Wizard Guilds, flying cats, and–-most cringey of all–-her self-proclaimed status as a “Dragon Slayer.”

But the past becomes pretty impossible to ignore when it confronts her in the form of some middle-aged, pink-haired stalker who won’t stop calling her the ridiculous name she’d nearly forgotten and trying to convince her to come back to “Fairy Tale.”

Oh, and claiming to be her dad.

Like she doesn’t have enough problems! The last thing she needs is some delusional freak following around. Especially one who’s starting to make her want to take his hand…

Yep, this is a Second Gen fic. The idea took root and would not let go. I’ll warn you ahead of time that the premise is somewhat dark. That said, I’m the kind of writer who likes (and tries to write) stories with sad beginnings, hopeful middles, and triumphant ends.

I do not own "Fairy Tail", only this plotline.

Assorted Fairy Tail headcanons #2

#1

As before, put under cut and many spoilers.

With Gray's more frequent usage of his Devil Slaying Magic, it's inevitable that he starts getting a few demon traits at some point. It's usually just small changes like how his teeth are sharper or the enhanced sense of smell. He starts worrying when one of his pupils turned purple, even after using his magic. Now one of his eyes is the usual black and the other is a glowing purple.

If Earthland Lyon and Gray had the worst falling out, the opposite can be said for their Edolas versions. They never had the whole "You're the reason our teacher died and I hate you" thing happened between them.

Even if they're anthropomorphic cats, Exceeds are still cats. Happy has been seen multiple times loafing on Natsu or Lucy, Charle making biscuits on Wendy's arm and even Lily casually scent marking his things and Gajeel. He then denies whatever he's doing to save face. Frosch is also notorious in Sabertooth for napping where the sunbeams are that people almost tripped over them. Lector also just flops over, asking Sting to pet him.

Jellal is a nerd. That's probably canon, I think, but Jellal is a huge nerd, especially when it comes to history. If you let him loose in a library, he will head straight for the books in the history section and he won't be seen for weeks.

Loke lied about not remembering anything that happened during the Eclipse Celestial Spirits Arc. While it's not exactly vivid or anything, he does recall a few things, like how he hurt Lucy and her feelings and targeting Happy when he fought Natsu. He couldn't bring himself to talk to them for a week (in Celestial Spirit world time, which would be a month or so in Earthland time).

All of the Dragon Slayers have really bad abandonment issues, but Wendy has it worse. Like, way, way worse. Grandeeney disappeared suddenly when she was five, she found a big brother in Mystogan and he left her too, she then finds out that her guild, the people who pretty much raised her aren't even real, she gets separated from her big brother figure again, she meets Grandeeney again, but she disappears again too and for good, and her second family suddenly disbanded and went their separate ways and didn't even contact each other in that year they were apart. Wendy's constantly fearing that everytime she gets attached to someone, when she starts to care about something, they'll suddenly vanish and there's nothing she could do about it.

In the first years when Zeref was cursed, he tried so many ways to kill himself. All of them getting more gruesome than the last.

Ever since Minerva returned to Sabertooth, the members noticed that she seemed more open and even happier. It was as if there wasn't a dark and scary cloud looming over her all the time anymore.

Aries has always been sweet and soft spoken. However, after Karen's treatment of her and then Angel, she's become more of skittish and constantly anxious, hence why her constant apologies. She's been getting better lately since having a contract made with Lucy.

Rufus is constantly haunted by Erza's handwriting.

Jura is constantly at the Top 10 of Sorcerer Weekly's "Most Marriageable Wizard" polls since he grew out his beard. Comments from poll participants include, "It's a very mature look!", "I like my men buff and bearded.", "Get a man who's strong and wise and would make a great dad.", "Would make a very good husband, I think." Lamia Scale approves as all statements are true (Lyon's words), Blue Pegasus on the other hand, are always surprised with the rankings. Jura himself does not care for the rankings, but he's flattered that people think that he would make a good husband. This is definitely not my Jura propaganda, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Mest's memory is fucked up like hell. Mind wiping himself and altering other people's memories does that to a guy. His memories of Fairy Tail pre Magic Council infiltration are basically non existent and some of his memories are fuzzy and blank. Ask him about what happened last week and he'll stand there for a minute or so before responding. Memories that left a lasting impact on him (Tenrou Island and Lahar's death), seem to be the only ones that he can remember right down to the last detail.

Lucy and Jellal bonded through their star-based magic. Jellal taught her a few spells like Meteor, and Jellal had made new spells based on the constellations of the spirits. He had also picked up a little bit of Celestial Spirit Magic, owning two Silver keys (Canis Major and Corvus).

#9 -- Makeup ?

"Siegrain" might have worn some light makeup back in his days as a councilman. Something of the "natural" type ? Mostly foundation, mayyyybe the eyebrows... eyeshadow for grand occasions. Subtle, but enough to have gotten less than savory bigoted comments about it LMFAO. Ultear would do it for him, or taught him at the very least.

Also, he wears/wore kohl ! I found this post a while ago and I really love the idea ( especially bc I also hc Jellal with Arab heritage <3 ) . Timeline-wise, I think he would have given up on it during the 7 yrs timeskip, before picking it back up around Alvarez.

―― in a completely different trail of thought : he always, always has concealer on-hand ( in his pocket requip space ) because the cerulean hair + face tattoo combo makes him an incredibly recognizable individual. Tricky undercover missions may require something a bit more complicated, but for simple errands, concealer is more than enough ! ( although he's def not the first pick. )

.

#10 ― Neuroses ? Do they recognize them as such ? ( I had to do a bit of research for this so let's hope this is accurate )

He is HEAVILY depressed ( PDD / Dysthymia ) and also has PTSD. He is aware of it, to an extent : I figure this is the kind of thing he may have read about during his council days ( he used to spend a lot of time in the Magic Council library ) or acquired through conversations ( again, council cases ) but most of his knowledge is very superficial. And in the case where he might not be able to put a name on it . . . he, for sure, knows that this is Not Normal. LOL He could, however, argue that this is normal for a man riddled with guilt, with blood on his hands, etc etc. ALSO he's probably not very keen on improving his mental health beyond the bare minimum ( aka what he needs to function so that he can focus on his mission of atonement ). Which ― this is getting long and it could get longer I could and will write an essay on the mental health of that man ― ANYWAY it's better than it used to be ; it was a very dark time for him during the timeskip.

One thing's for sure ― he needs help, more than he realizes. Professional help ! GET THIS MAN A THERAPIST !

.

#17 ― Favorite beverage ?

Jellal doesn't really have favorites of anything. Never really took the time to figure that out. I'd say he drinks WATER more than anything else, and TEA when it's available to him. He will also take that hot chocolate in winter whenever Crime Sorcière can get their hands on it. Also throwing a random idea in the air, but CS may also have discovered meal-subtitute drinks. I'm sure that'd be a nice thing for fugitives to rely on ― ( although it will get less accomodating pricier when their numbers go from 3 to 7-8 )

.

#20 ― Turn-ons? Turn-offs ?

Uhhhh like, socially ? Let's do that. I admittedly haven't thought too much about what he likes or dislikes seeing from people. He's not very sociable and doesn't really try to forge connections, for safety/priority reasons but also because he doesn't think he's allowed Nice Things.

I suppose... he admires psychological/emotional strength, bravery, the mentality of never giving up even when the odds are against you. He draws a lot of inspiration from that. ( I think he really likes the values that the Fairy Tail guild put forward, despite the chaos and destruction its members can leave in their wake. In another life, he would have loved to call it 'home'. ) Jellal also likes wisdom and thirst for knowledge. He would very much enjoy having conversations with the likes of Levy and Lucy, both bookworms. He is also very fascinated by magic. && He finds forgiveness to be very admirable. Crime Sorcière would not exist without the kindness and the willingness of those who'd looked past their blood-stained pasts, saw the humanity, and decided that there was potential for redemption. It is something he's very thankful for ― even if he may struggle with feeling worthy of that.

- - - - - -

When it comes to turn-offs... Jellal would have a hard time with personalities or attitudes that reminds him too much of his abhorred self of times past.

Also, as much as he believes in extending a hand to the broken and offer others the chance to redemption, he will only do so to the people open to the idea. Absence of guilt, refusal to feel it, unwillingness to change and any kind of stubbornness along that line will be a deal-breaker. He will advocate for his cause, but he will not beg for anyone to join him ( freedom of choice is very important to him ).

He's not a fan of 'turning to religion to avoid consequences/feelings of guilt' && INTENSE WORSHIP makes him very uncomfortable.

AND, not a turn-off per say, but I also think he pays a lot of attention to body language when interacting/existing with people. If he senses any kind of reservation / distaste / ( passive- ) agressivity and the likes of unreceptiveness, he will keep interactions with that person to a minimum. ( basically, he'll match receptiveness ? ) ――― any kind of bond with such personalities is much, much more likely to develop through necessity ( even if it's not against him & just general behavior/temperament ). He just... doesn't like to be a bother.

―――― ( I'm sure there's more. Food for thought... for another time. )

[usagirln12003]

Jellal Fernandes: Hogwarts AU

Jellal Fernandes is a Pureblood wizard that was born on the 25th of June 1971 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1982, being sorted into Ravenclaw House.

He has a Willow wand with a Phoenix Feather core.

His Patronus is Non-Corporeal.

His favorite subject is Ancient Runes and his least favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He was one of the Ravenclaw Prefects of his year.

When he was young, Jellal was a kind, compassionate boy, and cared deeply for his friends. He was always cheerful and optimistic, despite his disposition as a slave. After a failed escape attempt, he readily accepted punishment in Erza's stead, and never once lost his faith in the thought of being free.

Later, as he was manipulated by what he thought to be Zeref's ghost, he drastically changed: Jellal became obsessed with the idea of building a new ministry and treated the slaves much better — to the extent that they didn't even think they were still slaves. But through this method of treatment, they did more work, which was Jellal's ultimate reason for treating them as such in the first place. He sees his actions as a "game," even if said "game" results in the loss of lives, his very own included.

After he was revived by Wendy Marvell, he suffered from amnesia and seemed to be somewhat afraid of the world. Though not remembering his own identity, he remembered the names of Erza and Natsu Dragneel, respectively. As he learned of his sins, Jellal wished to die, as he believed it to be his only form of atonement, but Erza convinced that through living, he can find a way to make up for his past horrid deeds. Following these instances, even when arrested by Hit-Wizards from the Ministry and knowing he would be given the Dementor's Kiss, Jellal remained calm and even happy, just as he did when he was a child. Mavis Vermillion even commented that Jellal possesses the same "heart" as those in Hufflepuff, in spite of the fact that he wasn't actually sorted into that house.

Seven years later, after regaining his memories and having returned to his original personality, Jellal is now a calm, mature, intelligent, and kind individual. He has shown a cheerful side, as he often smiles when pleased, or when his friends are happy. While as "Mystogan", he makes sure he acts quiet and aloof, so as to not arouse suspicion to the fact that Fairy Tail Orphanage is housing an escaped convict. However, Jellal's regret towards his past deeds have caused him to feel the need to atone for his sins, which he did by creating Crime Sorcière: an independent organisation dedicated to the destruction of Dark Magic. Despite this, he still feels he deserves punishment, as he told Ultear and Meredy that "punishment" is the theme of their organisation. It is this guilt that keeps Jellal from expressing his love for Erza, which she reciprocates, as he believes he doesn't deserve her.

Jellal also seems to be quite protective of those he cares about, or in some cases, those he's wronged. Some examples are when he saved Kagura from Neinhart's attack despite her grudge against him for killing her brother, or when he desperately attempted to push Acnologia into the Veil of Death to protect Erza, although he himself openly admitted that he has no chance of victory against the dark wizard. Although no longer wishing to die, Jellal has shown himself to be willing to risk his life if it guarantees his comrades' safety.

Jellal views his other persona; Siegrain as the source of his guilt and carries his sins, as well as the failed ideal version he once wished to be.

Despite his rather serious nature, Jellal does have a comedic side, as in his duel with Jura Neekis, where (as a direct result of Ultear and Meredy sabotaging his fight with the Wizard Saint) he has fits of hysterical laughter, as well as reacting strongly to the sensation of peppers he had in his mouth. Later, when he walked back to his teammates, Jellal felt ashamed, and stated that he had no words to describe his feelings of shame and embarrassment.

Jellal is a very honest person, as stated by Erza, who points out that Jellal has had difficulty lying since childhood.
