Since I’ve already rambled a little bit about the 100YQ today, I also wanted to share this longer rant that’s been sitting in my drafts for a while.

⚠️ 100 Years Quest - Ch. 123 Spoilers ⚠️

One of the biggest annoyances I’ve had with Fairy Tail’s sequel is the mis-characterization of the Raijinshuu. Don’t get me wrong, I hated their fight against Gray, but I mostly expected that… as sad as it is.

Aside from that, it’s this short sequence with Laxus from Ch. 123 that is truly disappointing to me unlike any other.

Like, I’m sorry, but are these really the only reactions we’re gonna get…?

After returning to the guild, Laxus has a moment where he opens up and admits that he took out his own dragon slayer lacrima, and the Raijinshuu just… boast about him? (Aside from Ever, who seems more shocked at his ‘true power’ than the lacrima being removed.)

You’d think they would initially show more shock/concern and ask Laxus questions about what happened and if he's really okay. Let Freed scold him for being reckless, at least. Not just go 'That's our Laxus!!' and move on. I honestly feel like this is something they would all take more seriously.

It's also annoying how we don’t get to see much reaction out of Makarov either. Remember that this is the same lacrima that Ivan wanted to steal after the BoFT, not caring if it would kill his son or not. But everyone seems to keep looking over the fact that Laxus, again, took out the lacrima that he's had since he was a kid! Just ripped it out of his chest— with his bare hands, no less!

I’m just gonna assume Laxus will tell them everything off-panel, but still… I hate when the Raijinshuu are treated like a 'blindly devoted fan club' rather than his best friends, a strong team, or even as individual characters. Even in that bullshit fight against Gray, he calls them ‘Worshippers of Laxus.’ (100YQ Ch. 30) And it’s stuff like that which I feel undermines how close they really are to him.

For the record, I don’t have an issue with the Raijinshuu fawning over Laxus— that’s always been a part of their characters and has led to some great moments between them. I have an issue when it’s the only thing they do.

Compared to other characters, especially those who were a part of the Tenrou team, it feels as though the Raijinshuu are the most forgotten about. They have no backstory, they barely get any new magic or development, and they were left out of the latest Fairy Tail games altogether!

When was the last time they had a good fight that does their magic justice? Hell, when was the last time their eye magic actually worked in their favor?

I never expected them to have much of a role in the 100YQ, and I still don't, but still, it's... really frustrating.

Sorry if this was long, but I’ve wanted to share my thoughts on this for a while.

I try not to post about the 100YQ too much because it’s mostly criticisms and frustrated rants. I want this blog to be a positive place to appreciate the Raijinshuu as characters instead of complaining about how they could be written better, but I also think it’s good to have discussions and express criticism from time to time as well. It’s just not something I’ll be doing too often.

If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading!!! I really do appreciate it!!! 💕

fuck it. thunder legion headcannon notes page reveal as i nearly accidentally deleted it last time i tried to update it and its slowly delved into more and more hyper specific madneas with each new addition

*Bixlow is an incredibly picky eater, but Freed will eat just about anything.

*Evergreen stress shops, Freed stress cooks, and Bixlow stress eats. very efficient system. noone cleans. less efficient

*obviously freed takes rules EXTREMELY seriously, but only the ones he agrees with. he does not give a fuck about general laws, but he does care about ones imposed by a figure of authority he respects (not many)

*on that note, hes infamous with the rune knights because they literally cannot apprehend him. the second they blink, hes undone the jutsu shiki and is outta there. they’ve basically given up at this point

*freed has perfected the irish goodbye, and trained the thunder legion in it too. laxus however, is a hopeless case. he’ll just turn around and walk away mid conversation

*thunder legion? ideal blunt rotation. theyre yappin for hours. any weird ass question you think about? freed could probably answer it. evergreen’s your BESTIE who will back you up and die for you on any hill. bixlow becomes the single greatest comedian in a 50 mile radius

*freed and bixlow share an apartment together. evergreen technically has her room in fairy hills but that spare bedroom has enough of her stuff in to be considered hers

*bixlow uses he/it pronouns. he came into my house and told me

*evergreen is a trans woman and came out shortly after meeting freed and bix. one advantage to being such an outsider in the guild meant noone realised she’d transitioned. not many people know, only makarov, laxus & the thunder legion, and elfman. she wouldnt mind other people knowing but it never really came up and what does it matter really. shes still the prettiest

(when she came out to elfman she was extremely nervous about what he’d say (or that hed say something about it being manly) but he excitedly told her that it was “so womanly!”)

*they can all sing to some degree. evergreen still has the “teenaged girl showing off” voice and freed’s is like butter (seriously have you heard junichi suwabe sing? if i wasnt aro id be deeply in love with that man). bixlow, however, actively chooses to sound awful

*echolalia. they ALL have echolalia. its a nightmare sometimes

*evergreen is the single most talented braider in the entire guild

*bixlow is the only one who can correctly portion out pasta. he chooses not to.

*autism

op 1000% agree and i would also like to add a few points of my own if u dont mind

no.1 the hair. first off i agree and refuse to believe its intentionally styled that way for several reasons, one being im sorry i dont think it would make sense no matter how devoted he is and the second being they actually match his horns in his demon form

(same shape just elongated) granted you could argue that the horns follow the hair but thats BORING and i prefer to believe the hair mimics the horns (same with the eye) for characterisation reasons

also uh i may have every image of freed saved on my phone and this is my beautiful prince in the flashback scene

so he did have the lightning bolts before meeting laxus!

Clothing-wise I have less to say but i wanted to note uh this man hasn’t changed his fit ONCE (autistic king) from the gaiden when he first met laxus its been the same coat, belt, boots, necktie ect. granted all the raijin tribes outfits seem to be the same here but even after the battle of fairy tail when the raijin tribe all got redesigns, freed’s outfit has stayed the same so i choose to believe his coat is somewhat important to him? or he just hates shopping lmao

also his outfit mimics both military and old-french (noble) fashion fashion, specifically his trench coat, cravat and the way he tucks the trousers into his boots. His outfit in general conveys his personality as someone quite uptight, or at least more reserved m from a outfit which is very formal where hes really not showing any skin at all. i agree i dont think its due to insecurities, rather his general attitude

his whole design in fact represents a traditional style, fitting with his attitude (ie, strong devotion, sense of duty in particular, ect.) also his hair is in a traditional style, being long and tied at the end rather than the top

theres also an unreleased freed theme (which i have many, less positive feelings about) but it definitely incorporates traditional japanese instruments compared to some other themes like laxus’ which has a rock vibe with electric guitar, freeds is very classic

(i couldnt get the link to paste so if anyone wants it dm me 😭)

Fairy Tail Freed Justine Thesis

Character Design

Part 4 (of ???)

There’s a couple of main points I’m going to make here, but let’s start with something more important: cunty ass beauty mark. Anyway.

We’re gonna start my talking about his little lightning shaped thingies, because they not only need to be talked about, but also because it establishes why Freed’s character design is significant. Now, I don’t remember if he had those little things in the backstory scene from Thunder Gods, but I kind of want to say he did because, uh, he is NOT styling his hair like that. I’m forced to assume they are natural because i refuse to back the absurdity of him styling little lightning bolts into his hair. He isn’t four. And to be clear that’s not an insult, i love his hair so much, but I refuse to believe it is intentional and not just meta character design choices. If there’s a joke about it in canon that I don’t remember or something? Meta joke not canon. Sorry, i have a lot of feelings about him, if this whole project didn’t make that clear.

I love to talk about his clothing, too, bc he dresses in a way that is telling. He is always wearing multiple layers of clothing; long pants, tall boots, long sleeves, a long coat. It’s a purposeful choice on his part. Now, I will avoid attributing this to any MAJOR feelings or issues because of the single greatest shot in all of Fairy Tail: the high ponytail tank top Freed in the infirmary. But it is still a significant choice that, one, adds to the serious and academic vibe Freed’s got going on and, more importantly, is revealing that he likes to be purposefully put together and in control of his image, which does not surprise me.

And ofc, his eyes. Not like anything specific, just his eyes when he uses his runes and they go all purple and he does that snarky little grin. I love him.

(bonus on looks and clothing: at any given time there’s a 45% chance I’m thinking about an injured freed wrapped up in Laxus’ coat)

🎉 Happy Raijinshuu Day!

(10/8/23) Edit: This was originally posted on the 13th anniversary of Volume 13's release, but the "official" Raijinshuu Day is now set annually on October 8th! To commemorate the anniversary, I drew the team in their original outfits. ^^

[callmewisteria]

Laxus and Evergreen got drunk with Bickslow one night, and the three of them bought a coffin that had been used in a play...

...they proceeded to roll it into the guildhall. Laxus thought they got it to freak people out as a prank. Evergreen thought she would finally get to be the corpse bride.

Alas, they were wrong, as it was Bickslow all along.

Freed just about fell over in horror when he saw this.

And Bickslow then shouted: "hey, master Makarov! we've got your journey to the next world and it even has a hole in the bottom in case you aren't ready to go!"

Makarov smashed it without missing a beat.

Natsu and Bickslow cried together.

He Couldn’t Vote in the End

Guess what I got my hands on!

I may not have been overly impressed with the story of how they came to be a team, but the rest of the story was still quite fun and entertaining. And if you think I’m gonna miss up the chance to own a Thunder Legion focused manga story, then you’re crazy!

[thunderandlightningstriketwice]

Thank you all for your kind words of support and continued interest and excitement about this event. I again apologise for the delay in the release of this year's prompts, and we will be accepting works through to the first two weeks of January as well as the official week as a result.
