Random Headcanons I Have for the Various Dragonslayers Part 2

Part 1

Laxus has a permanent state of bedhead and no amount of hair gel can fix it

Sometimes Rogue gets 'nightmares' from the bad future but he only remembers vague bits and pieces when he wakes up

Natsu has full on accidentally set no less than seven wooden pieces of furniture on fire in the guildhall due to his body temperature

When Wendy wants to think she finds the highest building/mountain to sit on top of and listens to the wind

Laxus is endlessly annoyed that Natsu has the ability to use lightning (sure it only happens in dire circumstances and Natsu gets violently sick afterward but still)

Natsu and Gajeel have fought over who gets to eat the last Twinkie and they will do it again

The first time Erik really hated his enhanced hearing after he reformed was when he had to hear everyone constantly talk about how much they wanted Jellal and Erza to get together already

Despite never having trained with actual dragons Laxus and Erik when they first got their powers had dreams where dragon-like figures explained things. Neither have ever told anyone about it.

Do you have any dragon slayer instincts headcanons???

Yes! I want to study the dragon slayers like bugs

They hoard things like typical dragons. But it's not as straight forward like gold. It's more like Natsu hoarding friends and memories or Gajeel hoarding different types of music and cat stuff

They are all super territorial. Usually they keep it pretty suppressed but Lucy swears she heard Wendy growl at Sting when he jokingly said he was gonna join Team Natsu

You know that little angry dance bearded dragons do? They all do it but specifically Natsu and Gajeel

Speaking of lizards, you know how they puff up when mad? Laxus does this all the time. Sometimes for no reason other than someone walking up to him and the Raijinshuu

They have high prey drive. Like if someone runs past them there's a good chance you get pounced on. Cobra does it all the time to the point where Crime Sorciere refuse to run near him

They all hold babies by the scruff of their neck. If they could walk around holding their kids by the neck in their mouths they would

You know how some animals hair stands up when threatened? That's a big thing for them but it's not like the hair on the heads. It's arm hair and then they get goosebumps and hunch over all freaked out

They subconsciously try to hibernate in the winter. Rogue almost always has a massive stockpile of food in his room when it snows

fairy tail characters who are non-human bc i said so ⬇️

obviously not including canonical non human characters like the exceeds and the spirits

All the dragonslayers, though they are human based

would include zeref here bc he’s a dragonslayer in my rewrite, but his curse keeps him from physically changing/developing any dragon seeds, so he’s still 100% human

Natsu in general because he’s a demon

Erza is part dragon in my rewrite

The Strauss Sibs, but again, they are human based

really love the idea of Take Over mages becoming what they take over, so yeah. They each have characteristics based on their respective magics.

Evergreen is part faerie in my rewrite, a descendant of the Tenroujima clan of Faeries

which is why her wings are real in my rewrite

Millianna thanks to experimentation in the TOH, she is half cat

Toby from Lamia Scale! He’s a lycan from a village that was destroyed by Deliora

Minerva is a demon

Gray is part demon because of his Devil Slayer magic

More Dragon Slayer Headcannons

Uhh holy shit the last one blew up like crazy, so here I guess have more dragon slayers being creepy.

Because they have more air in their lungs they can hold their breath for a stupidly ridiculous amount of time, they’re also excellent swimmers.

They have really dense bone structure but hollow air filled bones so they’re all extremely sturdy, they also have much denser muscles which leaves them unnaturally strong.

The more they use their dragon slayer magic, the more dragon like they become both in physical appearance and personality as over time it starts to slowly show up in their personalities, they become territorial and protective of what they deem to be ‘there’s’, they growl at people as a warning to back the fuck off, they bear their teeth as a sign of aggression, as for the physical their eyes will take on an unnatural glow, Natsu’s becoming orange like embers glowing in the darkness, Laxus’s become electric yellow, Gajeel’s become like brownish rust red and so on, their teeth become longer even the way they walk and carry themselves becomes more inhuman, they way they fight becomes like that of a beast only not wild, extremely intelligent and cunning to a frightening degree.

They naturally seek out their own element, almost like a honing instinct, Laxus tends to travel towards storms, while Natsu often travels as much as he can to hot places where fires are likely to start, Gajeel always visits a city’s junkyard, Rogue always finds his way to dark, pitch black caves while Sting always climbs to the highest sunniest peaks he can to bathe in the light, Wendy frequently visits high up or isolated mountains to be closer to the sky.

Dragon Force effects more than just their magic, it also effects their personality and they can become almost completely different people entirely retaining only their base most present thoughts from before hand with their instincts often telling them to do one thing only; defeat whatever enemy is in front of them.

They’re also in part nocturnal which is both inherited from their magic and because it was how they where raised, while it varied from dragon to dragon, most preferred to hunt and move at night-time due to the fact less humans where active at night and they could see perfectly well in the dark which made avoiding humans easier. Both Laxus and Erik are also semi-nocturnal because of this and most dragons slayers find it difficult to sleep at night as their brains are hard wired to be active during the period most humans are sleeping. The only acceptation to this is Sting who while he can use his magic in the dark, it doesn’t work nearly as well as it does in the day time.

They heal at an incredible fast rate, almost double the spend of a normal human. Though they can’t regrow limbs or anything like that, this incredible healing ability makes it easier to survive severe injuries and wounds. Laxus however using electricity can stimulate the cells in a particular area to heal even faster than other dragon slayers however overusing this technique leaves him severely exhausted and if he used it too much he’ll overload his entire nervous system and just collapse.

That’s about all I can think of for now, I hope you guys like them and feel free to use or reblog if you want.

the dragon slayers' motion sickness can be attributed to three different causes:

there weren't many different kinds of vehicles for the ones raised by dragons

the leftover consciousness of the dragons within them/the lacrimas

psychosomatic

now, for the first one, the best those five could get that weren't riding on their parents was wagons and carriages. which they likely never went on after learning slayer magic. they didnt learn how to temper their senses to withstand or tolerate carriages because their parents couldnt even fit in them.

the leftovers of their beings that were placed within the five and whatever imprints withstood being created into lacrimas, again, couldnt fit in them. theyre just as weak as those theyre in, maybe more so being actual dragons.

psychosomatic means caused or aggravated by a mental factor. like how natsu, wendy, and gajeel arent sick when carried by happy, carla, and pantherlily. natsu said it clearly: theyre friends, not vehicles. and it could be that they were fairly small and they cant comprehend vehicles being small. but thats highly unlikely since the christina, blue pegasus' flying ship, probably wouldve felt more like the dragons' flying than anything else. but,,,, its a boat. it looks like a boat. it IS a boat. boats are water vehicles. so--blerg--its more vehicle than--urk--comforting.

which brings the question of what counts as a vehicle? can they even rest on a surfboard? a paddleboard? a plank of wood floating in the ocean? and if not, then clearly size doesnt matter. so there comes the second question of what counts as a friend? happy's a friend. erza's a friend. lucy's a friend. but is, say, an enemy a friend? or a vehicle? or a secret third thing?

wendy typically isnt affected by motion sickness mostly because sky dragons are far better at air travel than any other element. eastern sky dragons would probably be near the best, maybe tied with wyverns, with amphipteres as the best. but all sky dragons know how to balance properly, how to adjust their weight, how to subtly manipulate the body into doing what they want with minimal drawbacks, etc. its innate to the sky dragon, and therefore its magic. and it mightve taken her a moment to learn to apply the 'settings' when shes not in flight, which wouldve either been with mystogan or cait shelter. theres times where those 'settings' mess up, of course. when shes ill, or just woken up, or suddenly on a vehicle when before it was the ground.

the others can learn to adjust their balance and bodies over time, but it wont be the same as wendy. theyll probably always be a bit motion sick. though, laxus and erik, who only have the lacrimas, can probably be fine if they take some medicine on top of the training. natsu and gajeel are jealous. sting and rogue, on the other hand, will always be wobbly and nauseous and its really better if they just lay down.

Fairy tail headcanon not related to my previous post!

All dragonslayers have dyslexia. The first gen do because they were from 400 years ago. They spoke and read a different language. So I imagine it’s like them knowing Gaelic and then them having to learn English immediately because they were shoved 400 years into the future. And English has the highest rates of dyslexia because it’s combined with so many different languages and spellings. Obviously English isn’t what they speak, but I imagine it’s like this scenario.

The second gen do because the lacrema (I have no idea how to spell that) is based off of the previous dragonslayers. They wanted it to be like a skill transfer, so they just shoved the language thing in it. These people didn’t care about the people, just the result (look at cobra. He can listen to people’s thoughts. That would so over stimulating. They obviously didn’t think anything through).

I don’t know if Laxus got an actual procedure like the rest did, but if he didn’t it’s worse for him because his dad would’ve done it and he did it kinda incorrectly, as in, it works properly but it was placed incorrectly so some side effects are worse.

Which makes so much sense on why Natsu had trouble reading. Not only did he not know the language it’s also with different sounds, shapes, and spellings.

I imagine Gajeel joined young, but, unlike Fairytail, it wasn’t a place where you could admit you couldn’t read. Juvia was the one who taught him because even though she was a part of phantom she’s like a genuine and kind person. Until he learned she also read the jobs out loud but in a way where everyone just thought it was her being quirky. Gajeel didn’t pick up on until he went through his character arc. After he thanked her a lot and helped her make her grey body pillow.

(Unrelated, but I think Gajeel’s like, an engineering genius. He works with metal a lot and I think he’ll just make stuff. So he made the printing press for the fabric of the pillow).

As for if the gen one’s were too young to have learned the language. I believe Natsu and Gajeel were like eight. Because Natsu is 18 at the start of the show and Lucy’s 17, so he’s a year older. Meaning when he came out of the portal he had to be a year older than Lucy was. Her mom died when she was seven, so Natsu would be eight. I think Gajeel’s the same age. That would make the rest like 2 since Wendy’s 12 when Natsu is 18, but they still grew up around the language (which I’m calling demonic because they found it used in Zeref’s writings and in one of his demon books that was later stolen from the castle. That wasn’t its original name but it’s been 400 years and his works are like their only sources.) and most 2 year olds start learning to recognize letters. At least I did but my mom did make me watch like two episodes of educational tv (word world for anyone who’s wondering, which I hated because it was boring) before I could watch something not educational, so maybe I’m the weird one.

I also believe this was what Zeref wrote in even during the show because it was his native language and he was planning to die or change the past, so why would he need a new language? Plus it’s be super hard to learn especially when you’re literally being driven insane and time and culture is constantly changing. (I have my own theory about how the curse works because it’s kinda explained but also kinda not explained in the show; but that’s a different post.)

For reference: I have dyslexia and for me it’s spelling issues and when I read I like skip lines and sometimes the words like blur? If that makes sense. My sister also has it and had a lot of trouble with d and b growing up. She has it worse than me, though.

Physical Headcanons of Dragon Slayers

Dragon Slayer Magic, and slayer magic in general, changes the User’s physiology in ways other magic types do not– though the element they correspond with does play a major factor in what changes occur, there are some that affect all Dragon Slayers: (Hiro and Tsuki are OC’s who only sort of exist in the same universe, but are both Dragon Slayers)

Indent Text = Mainpoint

Bullet = Subpoint

Number = Subpoint of Subpoint

All Dragon Slayers have enhanced senses, more so than their God and Devil Slayer counterparts– where only one or two of their senses are heightened

Their senses are nearly triple that of a normal humans, and often leads to sensory overloads (Hiro and Erik having stronger hearing than most dragon slayers, Erik due to the nature of his magic- able to hear thoughts and movements of the body- and Hiro due to her magic and a genetic defect- able to hear all the way to Fiore’s farthest border with her mufflers turned up to 10 [10 is the strongest setting on mufflers, allowing the most sound to come through, but still blocking most of it]. Without her mufflers, she can hear all of Ishgar)

Their sense of taste is also increased. To protect their nervous system and body from damage caused by certain flavors, dragon slayers have a thicker, viscous saliva that covers their mouth as a shield, which ends up blocking a lot of flavor

This means they can eat the hottest peppers in Fiore with little fanfare, fire dragons in particular are prone to such snacking habits.

It also means their food will have more spices than most humans can handle because they want to taste it

Their magic forms a thin barrier around their vital organs, though the actual purpose is unknown, it is believed that it’s to guard against internal attacks – poison, illness, etc.

The thickness of the barrier depends on age and element, with Wendy having thicker barriers than someone like Erik (who is immune to toxins), but not as thick as Gajeels.

Natsu and Tsuki’s magic burns through toxins, though Natsu is still vulnerable to a few. Tsuki’s internal temperature, being a White Fire Dragon Slayer, is far too high for normal toxins.

This means that, if Tsuki gets sick, the bacteria has evolved to survive her body temperature long enough to effect her. She will be under quarantine, as some bacteria would die with the body temp lower than they evolved to handle, while others will spread even further.

Dragon Slayers are able to roar, though their age, gender, and element do play a part in what it sounds like:

Tsuki and Natsu’s pitch shifts and changes with their mood, but it’s always extremely loud

Tsuki’s is, by far, the loudest naturally– she’s had plenty practice– and it often causes the ground to shake (There have been a few fallen buildings as a result, she doesn’t roar often)

Tsuki sounds most like a dragon, as she’s the only one who really remembers being taught how to roar like a dragon and not a slayer. Hiro would have been similar if she were old enough to learn it.

Wendy and Hiro are able to twist their vocal cords to create such a high pitch, that it can’t be heard–but still bursts eardrums

Due to their age, they have to force louder volumes, and usually need several minutes to let their voices rest afterwards

Hiro’s is more draconic simply because of the nature of Storm Dragon Slayers.

Laxus’ is loud, and incredibly deep, sounding like ongoing thunder with an echoing higher pitch– and is the second naturally loudest overall

Hiro, due to being a storm dragon slayer, also has a bit of this effect– like rolling thunder and lighting aftershocks. It’s a lot quieter than Laxus’.

Gajeel’s sounds like grating, creaking metal; it’s very deep, and has a medium volume- though it does cause slight vibrations in a thirty meter radius

Sting and Rogue have a medium volume, and no one really knows what their actual roar sounds like

They mimic each other and others, like light reflections and shadows

Erik doesn’t really roar, it’s more of a loud, ominous hissing sound

The sound causes a primal sort of fear in all who hear it, though dragon slayers are more immune than average humans. It does not affect Tsuki, who was raised and trained around many slayers, and Hiro, who lives to spite her body and instincts

Dragon Slayers also purr, much like cats do, though the same factors apply

Tsuki purrs the second most, and does it especially when around those she considers hers

Her’s in specific has a soothing, and calming effect. It tells you everything will be alright, and that she’ll take care of it. It comes with being the oldest and most intune with her instincts

Natus also purrs quite a bit, usually while eating or sleeping

Since he’s still young, it’s more of the effect of a kitten on Tsuki, though non-dragon slayers don’t really notice the difference

Wendy and Hiro purr like it’s second nature, though Wendy only really does so to calm Hiro. Hiro purrs the most out of all of them

They are very noticeably kitten purrs, giving the urge to protect and nurture to the older dragon slayers that hear it

Laxus has deep rumbling purrs, and he doesn’t purr often

So far, Tsuki, Erik, Wendy, Hiro, and his kids are the only ones who have ever heard him purr

Though, it’s more like they feel him purr

Gajeel also has deep purrs, though rather quiet

Again, it’s more of something you feel than hear, his entire body shakes with the force

This is all according to Tsuki and Hiro, though some believe Wendy and Levy have heard them– neither will reveal anything

Sting and Rogue are much like Natsu, though they have more control over it– due to the trauma inflicted by Jiemma

With Tsuki, Laxus, and Erik, they are near constantly purring

They do purr around Hiro as well, its almost infectious

Erik is more similar to a snake than a cat, and his draconic sounds reflect that! So, while he doesn’t exactly purr, he also kind of does.

It sounds more like a quiet, content hissing though, but is described as more of a churr

Purrs are very infectious, if one purrs, they all purr, even if they’re doing so for different reasons

Stick em in a room with Tsuki and/or Hiro purring, and soon they’ll all be doing it without realizing

It’s a form of nonverbal communication for dragons, usually meaning happiness or contentedness

Dragon slayers have sharp claws, though their length depends entirely on the individual slayer

Some keep them filed down as not to accidentally scratch anything, but it does cause a strange, burning-itch in their fingers

The claws grow faster than an average human’s nails

Tsuki doesn’t cut hers beyond a certain point, cutting them down to the same length of the average nail is what causes the itching, almost like declawing a cat, very uncomfortable and not the usual

Natsu and Hiro don’t cut theirs down either, and it’s up to Tsuki to make sure they actually take care of them– though Hiro is generally very good at keeping them short enough to be able to do things, but long enough to defend herself if she can’t access magic

Gajeel also keeps his a certain length, and so does Erik, but Gajeel does it for max Bad Boy Effect and Erik does it because the tips can excrete poison if he wants them too, and if he cuts them too close it gets into his bloodstream and it’s really annoying

Laxus keeps his claws short because long nails make him uncomfortable, and the electricity in his body already causes itchiness. What's a little bit more?

Wendy keeps her short, but not super short, and also files them into more a square shape

Wendy likes to paint all their nails and once she and Hiro use the Puppy Eyes, no one can decline, it’s against the law

All kinds of Slayers have two magical cores, where their magic energy is stored, while other Wizards only have one.

No one knows entirely why, but it is believed that the first Slayers evolved the second core to manage their magic easier, as it is a very volatile magic genre

Dragon Slayers are hypoglycemic, mostly because of the volatile nature of their magic eating up at any sort of energy their body has– including their blood sugars.

Tsuki is the only one who is aware of this, but thinks the others are aware even if they’re not.

They know their body feels weird and they get tired, and that Tsuki makes sure they all eat after every fight and will shove food in their mouth whenever they feel that Weird Discomfort in their bones, but they don’t know why and don’t really care. That’s it.

It’s very annoying to deal with

They suck at taking care of themselves, all in different ways and all for different reasons.

Is Erik South Asian / Indian coded?

This post isn’t going to be as extensive as my other FT posts, but I am going to put out thoughts of mine that have been playing in my head for some time now. Along with my observance of ‘Jellal wearing kohl’ and ‘Why aren’t the ladies of FT wearing panties anymore’ , I have another I want to put out today.

I think Erik (Cobra) of OS/CS is South Asian coded.

Specifically Indian.

I will list the evidence and explain my train of thought underneath.

Admittedly though , a lot of my reasons are for visual representations I have seen of him in both manga and official art, so I am not sure how solid my connections are for the HCs but I will say them either way.

Clothing pattern

Let’s start with the first reason why I believe Erik to be SA coded. 

This is an image of Erik/Cobra from the official manga during the Nirvana Arc

Sadly the intricate design of many characters' clothes are omitted/reduced when animating, Erik here being no exception. And though I understand why, it’s a shame as so many details get taken out which could help piece some more information on the characters which aren’t told upfront.

In the manga, Erik is introduced with a piece that includes a paisley design (the teardrop shaped pattern) on the inner parts and cuffs of his coat. Why this is important to note is because the paisley design is something that is known to be a widespread clothing print all across Asia, namely South Asia/South-west Asia!

This Kameez (South Asian tunic) of mine has the ‘paisley’ pattern which is on Erik’s coat 

Of course it is possible that the pattern on his inner coat/cuff could just be for the sake of fashion with no cultural significance, but taking in mind my next points I think it makes the argument of Erik being SA/Indian coded stronger.

Jewelry 

This may come off as a weaker point I admit, but Erik’s use of jewelry also reminds me of SA heritage. His rings and armlet (or what I learned is called an arm-ring).

This opinion is purely subjective. I can admit that, but me coming from SA heritage myself, his use of jewelry resonates with the way I've seen it being used in my own culture; such as the design , what patterns it is being paired with, the use of adornment. It really reminds me of SA fashion and tradition. 

But I want to be more objective in my reasoning so I looked up why his use of jewelry in the manga does resonate with SA heritage and found some things.

The armlet/arm-ring that Erik has on his coat in the manga is similar to that used in Indian heritage. 

Fair in Indian tradition it’s used as a bridal jewelry (Vanki) for the women, but it was the closest I could find that was similar to what he had for my argument. It might be a reach though and I can accept that.

Now I will go onto my other point as to why I believe Erik is SA/Indian coded.

Salwar in game card 

Another clothing observation, but his trouser reminds me of a salwar with a slit at the bottom. The slit is a bit higher than what I am accustomed to but I have seen clothing like this in SA heritage.

It’s not overly common but you can see where the influence comes from-

But let me go onto the main reason I have always thought Erik to have some ties to SA (but specifically India).

Cobra 

As everyone knows his name when introduced is Cobra, however what this name also holds significance with, is the fact that India’s national reptile is actually the Cobra too!

King Cobra to be exact!

And on top of that in Hindu mythology, the cobra is a greatly respected and revered figure, literally seen as a deity and I believe that ties in well with Erik’s connection with snakes/cobra.

Erik 

And the last point I want to make is that even his name can be found in South Asia too , just in case people want to counter the argument that the HC is improbable due to him having a European name. 

As it can be seen the name Erik can be found near everywhere in the world, predominantly in places with European connections but also in Asia too.

And since I am arguing Erik being possibly Indian coded, I will show the statistics for his name there.

1,386 incidents of the name in the country! That is not a small number even if minute compared to the density of the population.

Map of India with distribution of the name Erik. (the darker red parts show a larger population of Eriks)

It’s very possible though Erik’s name could be from another SA country too. Or maybe he’s a case of being biracial with both SA heritage and something else. 

But I could see him being fully SA too since despite the Christian / European origin of the name, there’s a lot of POC who give names like that possibly due to following Christianity or just out of preference! (and personally I know this is a trend in South Asian communities)

But I guess we will never know unless Mashima sheds some light on Erik’s background. ^^'

Now with all this evidence presented, you can judge for yourselves if Erik’s design/clothing and connection to cobras is merely a coincidence and i’m reaching or is he possibly a SA/Indian coded character?

Thank you all for taking the time to read this <3 Also big thanks to @jerzaworms for helping me find some of the evidence to help supplement this post and strengthen the argument of this hc!

[littletail]

Hi hi! Can we get some headcannons on how the littles levy, cobra, juvia, jellal, sting and wendy have a not so good reaction to the caregivers having them eat veggies with their meal?

Hello hello! Sure thing!

Levy:

In her adult headspace, she very well knows the importance of eating healthy. But try explaining that to a child. In her Little headspace, she'll turn up her nose.

It takes quite a bit of coaxing to get her to open up. If she's a good girl, then she'll get dessert afterwards!

Erik:

One of the least fussy of the Littles on the list. The man eats poison, after all! Part of his diet consists of toxic plants, so getting him to eat veggies isn't too much of a struggle.

One of the few times he's fussy is if he's with other Littles that fuss over veggies. He is surprisingly impressionable.

The second is when he's craving attention. Once he gets the attention he wants, he settles down pretty quickly.

Juvia:

Depends on which Caregiver she is with.

If she's with Gray or Gajeel, she's rather well behaved. For Lyon, she'll pout in the hopes that he'll let her get away without eating them. It works almost every time. He's weak to the puppy eyes.

Jellal:

Surprisingly fussy despite how calm and collected he is in his adult headspace. No becomes his favorite word.

In Erza's care, the fits don't last long, and he'll cave rather quickly.

In anybody else's, he will give them a hard time.

Sting:

Arguably the fussiest one on the list. The debacle usually ends in timeout.

The loudest one in the room. He'll put other Little tantrums to shame easily.

Wendy:

The least fussy on the list. 

Sure, she doesn't enjoy them any more than the average Little, but unless she's having a bad day, she's very well behaved and will eat them without much fuss.

[xxthe-hidden-spyxx]

HI OH OK I'M BOTHERING YOU!!!!

ok so i saw you like erik cobra and uhhhh i really liked erik before i got into laharbolt (i actually hc her as transfem!) can you share some of your thoughts or headcanons? :)

HI LOL

I don't have many headcanons but I can give you what I have.

Well, it's a funny thing you bring up your trans Cobra headcanon because I also have a trans Cobra headcanon, though mine is transmasc instead lol.

I also have a long-running, sillier headcanon that he's very much not a fan of anything horror since he can't hear the threat coming like he could in real life.

The last one is that he has siblings, and they are all triplets! Mainly based on one line from Sonic Underground that I had heard while still thinking about how I wanted to handle him having siblings. ("Triplets born-")

Again, not much, but I hope you like them anyway. :>

As for my overall thoughts:

I couldn't tell you what drew me to him to start with, but it didn't take long for him to become my favorite character.

He uses dragon magic, specifically poison, has a snake theme, and has a unique trait of being able to hear thoughts on top of it. He has a wicked character design, and he has an intriguing personality. His character is just one big plus lol.

He's been through so much and I just wanna give him a hug ;3;

[lisannastraussisanangel]

Oooh body horror of dragon slayers love to see what u come up with 😈 ~

You get me! I'm so excited to do this!

Natsu's veins look like actual lava. Most times its very faint and you can't see it but when he gets mad they glow

His blood is so hot that it burns through things. He got a nose bleed once and melted a table

If he uses dragon force too often, his skin starts to blister and peel like super bad burns.

He also has a ton of burn scars. He didn't build up a tolerance to heat overnight and almost all of his body has rough, painful looking scars (little Natsu was always wrapped in bandages)

Gajeel's dead skin is straight iron and can give people tiny cuts. He wears a ton of lotion because any bit of roughness can hurt the people close to him

This is also the case for cuts on his body. The edges of the wounds sharpen and make it almost impossible to get stitches or bandages. He's also injured several doctors

His eyes and skin end up yellowing with age because of the extreme amount of iron in his body

His skin is either insanely cold or hot. If he gets too hot his skin turns bright red and sizzles. Too cold and he can actually freeze over (also yes, he rusts especially around his fingers and toes)

If Wendy uses her Dragon Force too much, she starts sprouting little feather nubs in her normal form. She has to pull them out with tweezers. It's very painful

Overtime her face and hands develop muscle spasms and tremors. She has a hard time controlling her expressions and gets to the point where she can't even hold items because her hands shake so violently

When she uses too much magic, her skin starts to turn blue from lack of oxygen. She has passed out from it before but it's very rare. The blue is almost every time and her lips are now constantly blue

Her finger nails are black/brown from the lack of oxygen in her blood. Overtime her finger tips turn the same color, but the nails start soon after her first dragon force (she hid it by painting her nails but had to tell others once her actual fingers started to turn)

Laxus' veins are also insane. They mostly look crazy like lighting bolts across his entire body. Drawing blood from him is a nightmare. Especially because his veins are incredibly thin too

He also has a shit ton of burn scars. More so on his hands and arms but also the inside of his mouth is incredibly scarred because of use of his magic

His entire back is covered in those lightning bolt scars too. They are not super visible but if you get up close it's insane

Erik's blood is straight acid. Just a papercut is enough to seriously injure someone. It's so strong that he can't even be operated on.

His skin is super thin. Like if you shine a strong flashlight on him, you can see all his veins and stuff

Because Sting's entire body makes light, he has like an insane amount of sun damage. His skin is very rough, cracked, and often has random burn spots scattered around his body

Rogue straight up feels like a dead body. When he was a kid, he looked like one too. Too skinny, bones popping out, super pale, and cold. As he got older he learned how to bulk up, but his magic still takes it's toll on his body

His pupils are always super big. Like you can barely see his eye color because his pupils are massive. Because of this, his eyes look absolutely massive

[fairytail-multishipper]

what do all of the dragonslayers have in common?

✨autism✨

i know this because i’m neurodivergent too

Phew, ok... I don't know if you know this Fairy Tail ship, since it's more in the anime, only a bit thoug, but I really love Erik/Cobra x Kinana. One of my fav ships in FT, honestly, so can I reqest them? 💚💝🤍 would be nice, but you don't need to do them if you don't like it.

Thank you so much for the ask, Anon, and for being so sweet & polite💕 Oh my goodness! I think I may have genuinely squealed when I saw this in my inbox because I love these two so much!! 🥰 I have a tendency to get really attached to side characters and also ships between side characters (when I do get into shipping), and honestly, I was just telling my sister over the weekend that Erik/Kinana might rank in my Top 5 favorite Fairy Tail ships. I never imagined that I would get asked to write for them though so I'm seriously giddy right now--really, getting to write these for you has made my whole day!! 💖 I hope you'll like what I've come up with!

Questions from this "Bye Bye Writer's Block" Ask Game

Kinabra [Erik/Cobra x Kinana] Headcanons

💚-- General

Kinana is an amazing cook and loves making Erik's favorite foods for him. He is so touched by how she always remembers what foods he likes best and makes his favorite meals, and he takes it upon himself to try to return the favor. He knows many of the foods Kinana likes but also asks some of her friends for suggestions in case he's missing out on any; then, with the help of some of his friends in Crime Sorcière, Erik practices cooking the dishes so he can prepare a special meal of all of her favorite things. He's not nearly as talented a cook as Kinana is and has a couple of failed attempts, but in the end, however, he does become a fairly decent chef and gets a surprise Kinana with her special meal. She's so shocked and touched by the gesture and, to this day, swears it was the best meal she had ever had.

💝-- Future

After they have married and have decided they are ready to raise a family together, Erik and Kinana choose to retire to a quiet life in countryside, and they live out the rest of their days together on a big farm with their many children (both biological and adopted) who they love very much. There is never a dull moment in their house from the laughter and misadventures of their often rambunctious brood, the chaos of lots of animals their kids have a tendency to bring home as "pets", and the unexpected visits of their Crime Sorcière/(Former)Oración Seis and Fairy Tail found families. Though they always make time to spend together with their children as a family, they go out of their way to spend time just the two of them as well--even if it's just doing household chores around their home together. For instance, Erik always loves to do dishes with Kinana because she'll hum (absentmindedly/without realizing it) while she washes them, and he thinks this is adorable.

[A/N: My sister and I have this running joke that there is always that one ship that you can just imagine settling down in the country and having a big family and life of domestic bliss together, and I've always felt from the minute this ship was even hinted at that they were that ship in Fairy Tail. I love them so much and think they deserve a soft, domestic ending after everything they've both been through!]

🤍-- Fluff

Kinana often gets cold (perhaps a symptom of all that time she spent as a snake), but as a Dragon Slayer, Erik tends to be fairly warm so he will often cuddle up next to her, wrap his arms around her, and pull her into his chest to warm her up. When they are out walking on chilly days, he will always give her his jacket, and in the winters, they love to curl up by the fireplace together.

Bonus (completely unrelated but I think these two deserve more fluff): For Erik's birthday the first year they are in a relationship, Kinana knits him socks little snakes on them. He loves them, but he only wears them on special occasions so they won't get worn or ragged. It always brings the brightest smile to Kinana's face when she sees him wearing them though. They are their children's favorite socks too, and Kinana eventually makes matching pairs for their whole family (though they are all slightly different). One year they get a family picture taking of them all wearing the matching snake-patterned socks, and it has been hanging up over Erik and Kinana's fireplace ever since.

the dragon slayers are all more likely to sink than swim

having reinforced everything so they can do dragon slaying magic makes all of them kinda heavy, and for the 2nd & 3rd gens, their lacrimas do add a bit of weight to them

its all good, though, because they can probably just propel themselves up whenever they wanna, since itd take like ten minutes for them to need to breathe. gajeel and either sting or rogue, depends on how bright the water is, can last for longer than ten minutes. wendy can filter the air out of the water if she focuses hard enough, but shed probably just make a pocket of air.

natsu's fire can withstand being submerged if he adds more magic to it. erik cant even get water in his ears--theres an odd film that covers them when it gets moist, like rain or even high humidity.

laxus. shouldnt use magic in the water. its hard to control, so unless everyone needs to get knocked out, itd be better for him to just walk/swim around and punch people. he still doesnt get wet, though, and thats when juvia starts thinking that maybe. just maybe. hes a bit more than a lightning dragon slayer

[bringerofdeathandtheapocolypse]

A small wee note of the non human characters in the au, including hybrids and excluding exceeds since that ones a given.

Gajeel- The most obvious considering his hybrid nature is integral to the story itself but he is half dragon half human

Freed- I've discussed this before and literally shared my design for this and if you've read the oracion seiz arc then you'd know I had that conversation between him and Laxus but he is half demon half human

Ivan- He is half elf, half human

Laxus - By extension, Laxus is about a quarter elf which is where the points to his ears came from (Something mentioned in the revenge arc)

Cobra/Erik- He's an elf, something I think a large portion of the fanbase agrees on (Might be wrong but I've seen it in a few fics)

Natsu- Its literally canon he's part demon so of course he is

Kinana- I like to imagine that once she's turned back to human, her dna is slightly altered so she still has a few quirks from being cubellious. Not quite non human but close enough.

(There may be more later on. This is just who I could remember of the top of my head)

Damn if you’re doing x reader asks then I can’t help but beg for a Cobra x fem!reader for ya girl’s birthday

Happy birthday! I can absolutely do that!

We're gonna do two different versions of this for pre- and post-Nirvana incident, since those are two really different types of boyfriend.

Nirvana Incident Cobra:

Cobra is laid back and fairly easygoing, not to mention cocky, but don't get it twisted: He's a part of the Oracion Seis, not to mention the Balam Alliance. He is one of the most dangerous dark wizards out there and he doesn't abide weaklings. If you're not the type to flex some serious magic, then you're probably really smart or intimidating in a different area.

Alternatively, you can be as passive as you please, if Cubellios likes you. Clicking with the giant snake is an immediate pass to getting Cobra's positive attention. Getting along with Cubellios is going to be a requirement either way, so you'd better have nerves enough to be around an animal like that.

It is almost certainly a long-distance relationship. Unlike the other two heads of the Balam Alliance, there are no underlings attached to the Oracion Seis--it's just the six of them. No one, even their sub-guilds in their employ, is permitted to travel with them and know their movements--hell, he probably hasn't even told you he's in a guild. So Cobra will only see you every so often--but when he has the chance, he takes the time out to come find you and spend time with you.

You'll get used to being picked on fairly light-heartedly. It's Cobra's personality, he likes to gently bully people he enjoys being around. It never goes beyond light teasing, promise.

Long-distance admittedly makes Cobra a bit softer than he might be if you were consistently around. When he finds you out of the blue one day, you'll usually find something unique or rare pressed into your hand--souvenirs collected from his travels or fights, just to make sure you don't forget about him and have something from him around while he's gone. His ability to hear thoughts comes in handy here, because he'll frequently show up with something he heard that you needed or wanted but didn't say.

He's an attention whore. He likes feeling cool, he likes feeling like you're ecstatic to see him, he likes feeling like you're into him. That cocky grin being fed is a very good way to make him like you.

Please talk about snakes with him. Yeah, yeah, we joke, but Cobra really does know a lot of snake material and enjoys studying them and chatting about them.

Cobra touches you a lot. He's always got an arm around your waist, if you're walking next to him, or fingers brushing through your hair. It's never too intimate--he doesn't like holding hands, or hugging, he just likes to have little moments where he's touching for the sensation of it.

Cobra is also jealous as hell. He very much enjoys the idea of other people being jealous just seeing you with him, but he also turns on a dime and gets cold if a guy or even a girl tries to put the moves on you. Cobra will casually chokeslam a dude that's getting too friendly with his girl, especially if he's causing her any distress.

Cobra will take notice of small changes or accessories, like earrings or hair pins or if you did a cool pattern with your nails that day, and will often compliment them. He's not exactly in touch with his feminine side, but he knows how to interact with yours.

He has a thing for a girl in tube top or tank top. Don't ask me why, he just does. Something about women's shoulders and arms being free. High heels? Only if they double as murder weapons.

Post-Nirvana Incident Cobra:

It's....rough.

Getting together with Cobra is difficult; if you didn't know each other beforehand, he's not exactly looking for a relationship, and even if you were 'his girl' before he got arrested, odds are you were not permitted to see him in prison and he didn't presume that anyone was going to wait 7 years for him.

Insecurities and jealousy and bad control of his emotions runs rampant. He's ill-tempered, generally unhappy, and requires a lot of patience.

Cobra responds much worse to "pretty" now than he used to; he does not like the idea of dating someone who looks put-together and fashionable. On the bright side, you don't have to curl or straighten your hair or have nice clothes. In fact, unkempt or dirtied-up, especially from fighting, goes over much better with him.

Don't try to heal him. Cobra does not want to be better or fixed and "I can fix him" will emphatically make him respond by being worse. Gentleness is welcome, practically necessary given he's like a wounded animal and a snake poised to strike at all times should anything get too close, but he will resent the idea that the things he feels--anger, resentment, loss--are problems he needs fixed.

You have to be comfortable with silence. Cobra hears so much already, he often doesn't feel like adding to the noise with his own voice or anyone else's.

Touching him often results in distance, with him jerking away or actively avoiding it. Every once in a while, though, the old Cobra shines through just a bit, and sometimes--usually when he silently feels like he'll die if he doesn't have someone nearby--he'll pull you into his arms.

NS/FW section because Cobra deserves it:

S*x is rough. That's one thing that doesn't change inbetween time periods--Cobra f/cks to make a point. The more claw marks you leave on his back, the prouder of it he is.

Post-Nirvana, intimacy is at an all time low. He doesn't even kiss you unless he's trying to f/ck you, and sometimes not even then. However, if he can work enough energy out and get tired, you may get some sleepy cuddles out of him after the act.

Cobra rarely gets fully naked, as he's somewhat insecure (very insecure post-Nirvana) about his body, even without taking all the scars into consideration. He will much appreciate positive attention on his body.

He loves a good b/owj*b. It will put a very wide smile on his face.

Don't talk during s*x. Cobra does not want to hear any chatter during the act, he just wants to hear moans and screams, that's it. If you can still form coherent sentences, he's not doing it right.
