#future rogue

[bumblebeehug]

um yeah so remember how natsu's fighting rogue, and as he's about to finish him off, there's this flashback of future natsu and future lucy fighting against the 10 000 dragons? for the longest time i've assumed that it's rogue's memory we're watching, he's kinda watching it all happen and he realises that natsu won't give up in this world either. but it hit me that it's natsu who's seeing this vision. like, rogue sees it too, but in the plethora of magic power they're both exchanging, maybe it's enough for natsu to "connect" with rogue.

and that makes me think about how heartbreaking it must have been for natsu to realise that he couldn't save lucy in the future and live. he got eaten by a dragon in that last scene, and that's what prompted future lucy to go back in time, just for her to get murdured by future rogue. i'm convinced that that final vision was enough for natsu to put in his last magical energy in that blast to beat f!rogue. he couldn't lose. he didn't afford to lose.

and i imagine it was that determination that gave enough power (combined with the 12 zodiacs) to break the eclipse gate. not even the power itself, but the intent behind it. hadn't he seen that vision right before they crashed into the gate, it wouldn't break. he needed that reason for it to work. the intent behind the magic determines the results of the blast (also why no one in fairy tail kills people, despite their extreme powers. unless the intent to kill is behind the blast, people can make it out alive.) (that's just a headcanon though)

Dragonslayers on Assumptions

No one has assumed Serena is attracted to them, he's projecting.

Rogue but his poses are based on Barok Van Zieks’ sprites. Mainly inspired by the fact they both wear cloaks and have scars over their noses.

+ Sting based on one of Kazuma’s sprites

the worst/best part about a villain or maybe just a character who’s done bad things you can understand, is that although their acts were and are wrong, what would you have done in their shoes? would you have made the “right choice” or would you have done the same thing they had done. at the end of the day, people’s actions are caused by what has happened to them, and for many villains i might’ve done the same thing.

⏳⌛️ Future Lucy; Future Rogue ❤️🖤

I have a Question!! What if Future Rogue looks in your Art style just wondering and what if Sting meet Future Rogue what's going to happen next?

I have in fact drawn him before, not as much as I'd like to though, I should change that

As for Sting and f!Rogue meeting, by all accounts it should've happened imo, why else introduce the plot point of him stealing Sting's powers?? But then again it wouldn't be a work of mashima if there weren't a number of plot holes all around ☠️

I've given it a lot of thought but surprisingly I can't pick a single scenario, part of me thinks f!Rogue didn't care about meeting Sting or not because in his corrupted, unfeeling self he thinks he doesn't care about him anymore. The other part thinks maybe f!Rogue had actually wanted to stay as far from Sting as possible because he was scared of his will faltering if they met, because maybe the shadow doubted its control over Rogue in front of his light.

On the scenario of Sting finding of this as it was happening instead of afterwards like in canon, he would've undoubtedly gone after f!Rogue himself, the catch is I don't think he would've had a plan at all, just fled at the thought of Rogue in danger. Maybe he would've tried to save f!Rogue but I don't think he'd been able to.

Fairy Tail Futures (Eclipse Gate Arc 7 years ago)

Sting Alive in AU

[bringerofdeathandtheapocolypse]

Ok so uh the dragon king festival arc makes no sense

I'm sure everyone knows that because time travel in a lot of media can be wacky and confusing but like this time it genuinely doesn't make sense. I was thinking about it a lot just yesterday and well uh... I'll explain.

Ok so firstly the rules of the eclipse gate are that only a celestial mage with the 12 keys can open the gate. Why would that be a rule? Like the original reason the gate was used was so ZEREF could use it to save Natsu before scrapping it and using it for the dragon slayer plan. Zeref isn't a celestial mage. How did he plan on opening the gate if a celestial mage was needed. And how did Future Rogue use it? He isn't a celestial mage. I can believe that he'd have the keys since its entirely possible that Yukino and Lucy are dead 7 years in the future and even if they weren't, I wouldn't put it past Future Rogue to kill them for the keys if he was willing to kill Sting for his lacrima. But he wouldn't even be able to open the gate because he is definitely not a celestial mage. Unless you can use the keys along side other magic (In which case I'd have loved to see Rogue using the keys against those in the past because that would be awesome)

Secondly, how did Future Rogue and Future Lucy get out of the gate in the first place? Because we know that you need someone on the other side to open it which is why Anna had to send a message through her descendants so one of them would open the gate to let her and the slayers out. But who opened it for Rogue and Lucy. It couldn't have been Hisui because she didn't even know that F Lucy was there, she only knew of F Rogue because he went to her and lied about a dragon attack. It couldn't have been anyone in the guilds because they didn't know about its existence in the first place and we can account for Rogue's present self on the day he arrived and Lucy's on the day she arrived (by ways of the Ova set on that day) so it wasn't either of them. So who could have possibly been the one to let them out.

And thirdly, why did the celestial spirits even go crazy in the first place (anime only) They've been used to open the gate at least twice (technically four since someone had to open it for the futures) at the point they go crazy and it hadn't happened before. So it isn't because the gate is Zeref magic (which also did no one notice that on the dragon slayers by the way? This strong dark presence in their bodies? Or their dragons for that matter) since they've been used before. Is it because of the blood moon? If so then that's just weird. (All Filler arcs are def not up to the standard of the regular arc with only a couple of exceptions)

I don't know which one I love most these are awesome!

Is Frosch okay though? (Bottom left)

Rogue having a go at Future Rogue.

Future Rogue doesn't care.

They're inside their shadows and having a civil conversation, by which I mean Rogue hasn't thrown hands yet because Future Rogue would kick his ass.

Sketch and alternative version under the cut.

[lilacharbour]

It's kinda fun to think about Rogue trying to teach Sting to enter his own shadow in a non-life threatening situation, because how do you begin to teach something that you've been able to do since you were 5.

Whereas for Sting it's as close to the opposite of his usual magic that you can get and how are you supposed to interpret advice like 'feel the gravity'

doctor who viewers that aren't hungarian don't even know that they. they dubbed the psychic paper saying "you're hot" as . "i'm horny"
