I won't apologize now or ever for the person I'm going to become when I see this panel animated onscreen.

Alright, I've kind of been losing interest in the 100 years quest manga as of lately because... you know... it's not that good...

But that last chapter is definitely the best one we have had in a while. It was such a nice surprise to get to learn more about Jellal's past after all this time. I find it weirdly sweet that his whole council persona was build on his childhood dreams. That it wasn't entirely an "act", but was in part motivated by something genuine.

Makes me want to see Jellal go back to the Magic Council in future. Not necessarily as a member of the council itself again (although I wouldn't rule that out entirely). More as in being reinstated as one of the wizard saints and maybe taking on some jobs for the council or something. Could be fun to see how he would interact with his old colleagues.

Also, hoping this reference to Erza's earlier offer to join Fairy Tail means him actually joining isn't far-off (i am nothing else if not an optimist!)

Current State of NaLu:

The new 100YQ chapter just reaffirms the current theory of Natsu thinking him and Lucy are dating without asking her or knowing that she doesn't think the same 😭.

NaLu was never "will they, won't they", it's "when will they (realize that they're totally not on the same page about their relationship despite having mutual feelings because one is thinking about marriage while the other is convinced her feelings are unrequited)"

Anyways I'm free from exams so I'll have free time!!! I'll try to improve my art lol. Toodles—!

[heartfilsia]

in light of the recent ft100q episode and its blatant nalu erasure, i would just like to remind us all of this beautiful adaptation from the manga

[bumblebeehug]

i want Natsu to know that he actually scared Lucy with his fire. mostly bc i want a true apology out of him, but also bc i want Natsu to be aware of Lucy's slight flinching, her nervous sweat and her hightened pulse - that it's from fear and not adrenaline. and i want him to worry about her, feel bad about himself that he let himself get carried away, hell, i even want him to be a bit magically constipated, not being able to give his all when he fights. he's been so focused on getting stronger to protect his loved ones, so they dont have to feel fear, but now he's the cause. i want him to deal with that troubling feeling of not being able to do something because of a mental block. and then i want Lucy to talk some sense in him, bring him back, get him out of his head, able to enter the fight without holding back. because even though she's weary of his fire, Natsu isn't himself without his willpower. and she wants Natsu to be Natsu - not Ignia, not some crazy strong demon, she wants him to be him.

Finally, some decent development.

Let's talk about it.

I like Lucy and all but sometimes it's a bit too much. Like how can you be sad over the death of someone you just met? Ik it's Fairytail and their Nakama power and stuff but this? They barely had 2-3 interactions.

If Kiria sacrificed herself, that would have made more sense. Plus, I like how Natsu motivated Lucy to fight because everyone else was fighting too and she was just standing. I didn't even realise that she wasn't fighting until Natsu said it. And then I realised, ofc Lucy wouldn't wanna hurt a friend.

Also, I really liked the fact that Natsu wants Lucy to fight.

They were the OG team, from the very beginning!! It was just her, Natsu and Happy that started it!! And Natsu wants Lucy by her side, because no matter what happens Lucy has always been by his side. In good and bad, in sickness and in health, in every adventure, in every fight!

She may not fight at all, like in the beginning of the series when she was a scaredy cat or just do a thing or two to contribute.

Or she may put an end to the entire conflict all by herself, but her presence has always mattered.

Her spirit has always mattered.

And that's why this moment is important.

It might be the only decent bit from this chapter and I want this arc to be over already, but I can't help but praise when something good happens, especially regarding Nalu, since DAMN I want them to end up together already!!!

[fairyspheres]

one thing i absolutely love about the beta heaven scene (aside from the obvious) is that it shows natsu remembers zeref as he was, before he tried to invade as the emperor and use the neo eclipse. whether that's because he remembers more of his life before the eclipse gate now or whether he values their interactions on tenrou and in tartaros more, i don't know. i just like it

also love that with them sitting together, you can really see how they share the same colour scheme for their outfits, right down to the same shade of yellow for the lining. when natsu isn't using his dragon slayer magic, they have the same eyes

idk i will never be normal about them tbh

Heya hope your feeling well! :)

I read the 100yrs quest and I loved Irene and Wendy's (teacher/student) dynamic, just wanted to know what were your thoughts on it and if you got any personal headcanons hehe

Part of me wishes Irene stayed around. She had such a shitty life, it would've been nice to see her find genuine happiness and grow...

So, yes, I have many thoughts about them.

Wendy still hears Irene's advice in her head. Even years after Irene is gone

Irene will kill someone for Wendy. No questions asked. She's so protective of her

Irene views Wendy as her daughter. She never says anything but has fully adopted the child (plus she knows Erza is close to her so)

Wendy has figured out Irene has a soft spot for her but doesn't know the extent of it

Wendy has started confiding in Irene about personal stuff as well as magic. Irene doesn't always give the best advice but she does try (tho half the time its like "murder them")

Irene really enjoys viewing the world from Wendy's perspective. Wendy sees the good in every situation and Irene finds it refreshing

Wendy loves her lessons and has started looking forward to Irene's teaching. They soon map out a specific time where Irene can give her proper instruction (instead of the life or death lessons mid battle)

Even tho Irene claims she has no interest in Erza, Wendy tells her about her daughter often. She's told her about all Erza's accomplishments, how much she's loved, silly stories, sad stories and basically everything she can think of.

Wendy likes to hear stories about Irene's life. Irene tries to give her the happy ones mostly, but every once in awhile she'll let a sad one slip. Wendy is a very good listener and it's become very therapeutic for Irene (she tries not to burden the little girl with her trauma tho)

100YQ Rant/Criticism

SPOILERS FOR FT 100YQ INCLUDED

I have been following FT 100YQ and have seen a lot of moments that just made me go ‘hmm okay, doesn’t make sense but alright’, and there have been a lot of moments of just the plot/narrative being broken for convenience sake. It has gotten under my skin many times, but as a Jellal fan, one of the biggest offenses and one that makes me scratch my head a lot is from chapter 144.  Don't read ahead if you don't want to be spoiled about a big reveal on his character or on 100YQ.

144 : Beyond Sins.

Now initially when this chapter came out, I really loved it since it was the first time we had a backstory in ages and it being Jellal’s, I ate it all up.

But there was something in this chapter that made absolutely no sense narrative wise when I looked back with fresh eyes and wasn’t riding the high of getting Jellal’s backstory/anything Jellal related.

That being.

This panel.

We’re told not even a page into the chapter, Jellal’s real name is ‘Siegrain’, a name which we know from the previous narrative and was hinted throughout arcs to be like an alter persona for Jellal. 

This chapter goes on to basically confirm that Jellal canonically has DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), a trauma response that must have manifested given all the stress and changes that happened in his life from losing his father young, watching his mother die by the slavers and then being taken into slavery, having his whole trajectory he planned for his life ruined etc. 

This is an understandable trauma response, and I would love to have seen it properly explored with understanding in regards to Jellal/Sieg’s character. It would have been so interesting to see how Jellal’s trauma at the tower manifested in a split personality and how he coped with the situation as he was cited to be notably different to all those around him 

‘A Leader’

‘One who doesn’t cry’

‘The strong boy’. 

This chapter basically confirms that this character he created was a way to mask his own insecurities and cope in the unknown environment.

However, that’s not where my gripe is.

Because as much as I was interested in the idea of Jellal’s trauma manifesting as DID, it’s the way that the narrative has gone about it which butchers everything else and makes no sense in a narration sense.

The man who we are told his name has always been ‘Jellal’ is now revealed to us by this flashback chapter to have actually had the name ‘Siegrain’ as his birth name. 

This on it’s own is boggling but wouldn’t have caused such breaks in the narrative, but the fact that this very chapter contradicts a chapter in a previous arc with Jellal in the Gears fight, this is where it just stops making sense.

In order to beat Gears in chapter 57, Jellal takes out ‘Siegrain’, the man whom he claims is the carrier of his sins, which in accordance to other arcs of Fairy Tail makes sense since we see the Siegrain persona being the most active in regards to infiltrating the magic council, getting the etherion fired etc.

But now we have in not even 100 chapters after this, it’s revealed to us that Jellal’s name isn’t Jellal at all, but ‘Siegrain’. How can Siegrain be the one carrying Jellal’s sins, when Siegrain is the main identity/person  that Jellal was created from? 

It just doesn’t add up.

And if that isn’t narrative breaking enough, Jellal’s name actually being ‘Siegrain’ causes a whole other narrative hole too.

This guy.

Mystogan.

Mystogan’s real name is Jellal, just like if not all Edolan counterparts share the same first name of their earthland counterparts (e.g. Natsu Dragion, Lucy Ashely, Erza Knightwalker, Gray Surge etc). But being told now all of a sudden that Jellal changed his birth name doesn't work for Mystogan, as are we meant to believe that Mystogan conveniently changed his name to be ‘Jellal’ to match his earthland counterpart who was going through a mental crisis?

Mystogan, the one who’s whole thing was to keep his identity hidden and it’s Faust, the one who calls him out the name as Jellal. The one who is meant to be his father/father figure? Mystogan, who somehow has the name Jellal, a name Erza wasn’t even allowed to mention out of the Tower, which makes sense for him to have it if his counterpart had that birth name, but apparently that’s not the case?

I know I am probably just beating a dead horse now and I should get over it, but I just needed to write something since my head was struggling to make sense of the reveal for a long time. I don’t know what exactly is added to the story by Jellal’s birth name being ‘Siegrain’ other than shock value. Like what does this plot twist actually do? Nothing.

Other than it just makes the whole narrative so messy now and I don’t like it. If the aspect of DID was to be introduced for Jellal’s character, then what was wrong with Jellal being the host? And Siegrain being the alter that manifested as a trauma response?

It could have been something intriguing and insightful to explore, bring awareness about different trauma responses and also add a new layer to his character beyond just extremes of misguidance and the need for redemption.

But no.

God this just makes no sense.

I’m sorry for ranting, after seeing the Gears fight animated, it reminded me of THAT reveal and I just saw glaring plot holes which I completely blindsided the first time I read the chapter.  And what makes me even more annoyed is the DID aspect is probably just another plot convenience that is most likely never going to be brought up again ever.

And I’ve already said how I don’t like something serious such as trauma being used as a plot device.

Which it clearly is in this case.

The only way I can make sense of both events existing, is that it shows that Siegrain is so disassociated from his sense of self, that he has decided to adopt the identity of Jellal completely, killing his born self for the sake of the present and going as far to believe that Siegrain is the made one and not 'Jellal'.

However then that opens up a whole new discussion...One I might cover another day, but i'm afraid this is getting long enough as it is.

But yeah, thank you for listening to my ramblings if you’ve stayed this long.

I wonder if anyone else felt the same about the reveal as someone who likes Jellal's character? Or just has been following the story? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
