My August Japanese 2023 toy haul got here earlier than usual, because they delayed one of the figures and then I was stuck paying for this tiny shipment, so much more on s/h for just a few stickers, clear-files and a tiny, tiny figure (clear files are huge pain, to ship now because Japan post is not shipping to the USA via small-pack Air, SAL, letter or other...). DX

So, unfortunately my only figure for August releases was the Bushiroad Creative PalVerse Pale My Hero Academia Shoto Todoroki Complete (Non-Scale) Figure. The Elden Ring Clear files made this super expensive to ship, so I might rethink getting more clear files from now on, due to that reason. I am happy I got them, but so much money was wasted on these flat items that I used to pay under 10USD to ship in the past...T__T;;

I also got a second PAK Hope Estheim, I got the figure when it originally released back in 2010, but I always wanted seconds of him and Snow. I was finally (after more than a decade later!!) able to get a second one of Hope. I hope (no pun...etc) to get a second one of Snow as well soon. And finally got the one Penny's Box Centaur doll I wanted since the beginning! I was okay with any, because they are all so adorable, but when I purchased my single third "blind" box, it was a repeat for me. So, I had to wait for an official dealer to offer them as opened for certain choices. She was way more than I would ever pay otherwise, but I guess this will be my first and last time I do so, with this type of doll. I don't regret it, but I won't be doing it again (paying more to get the one I want, instead of just leaving it to luck!).

Until she's Home Again by Mrs. hopeEstheim

A wonderful story of a runaway Lucy who leaves because she has an explosive build up of magic power and she will die shortly. But despite this Team Natsu is out doing missions for her hoping to find her one day.

Phantom Girl- by bibliosphia

It's about Lucy joining Phantom Lord instead of Fairy Tail because she never met Natsu during that fateful day at Hargeon. Instead she met Gajeel and she befriends him and Juvia and a few other fun characters too.

One Wish- by Kat A. Klysmic

Natsu and Lucy's magic gets switched by a magical crystal and all the hilarity and angst that goes with that.

Solomon's child- by serioushugsies

Currently on hiatus at the start of the grand magic games but don't let this stop you. It's an amazing au about Lucy and her troubled past. It's excellent I highly recommend.

The Binds That Made We, Me- by flamefairyx777

About Natsu and Lucy waking up discovering they're fused together as a pink haired girl called nalu.

Between the lines- by riverofmemories

In a modern world there is a hidden World of magic and mages

After Eclipse- by Aidaedalus

It's only a short 9 chapters and has been abandoned, but don't let this stop you. It's an amazing piece of fiction about future Lucy and the rest of the survivors just a few days after the dragons attacked crocus.

Write The Future- by thegreatroshen

A little girl called Fae with no memory of her own joins Fairy Tail and causes lots of mischief.

Celestial Dragon- by Silken Ink

What if Lucy was the one who brought Natsu into Fairy Tail? And what if Natsu was a celestial spirit?

Bet You Didn't know- by BlackLynx17

Igneel takes home a little Lucy and she teaches Natsu everything a child knows. Basically cute, small bite sized chapters about Natsu and Lucy as kids out in the woods with Igneel.

Helloy FT Fandom of Tumblr

Can help me with something. Please recommend Fairy Tail fanfics in the comments and reblogs. Any ship, no ship, self promo is ok. Just spread that love around. Thanks. I would like a positivity boost right now because I am going to throw a pillow otherwise. I also am looking for more things to read.

I'll start. My obsession is rewrite fics/dragon slayer centric with plenty of family feels, so that's most of my recs.

Obligatorily dropping my own AO3 @ here.

Tra'viin Tome'mir by GemmaRose. A series with a Sense8 style mindscape-sharing Dragon Slayers. I'm obsessed with this entire thing. I am not normal about it. It's everything I ever wanted with the dragon slayer dynamic in a ft rewrite-type fic.

Faeries, Dragons, and Demons this story has been disconned and orphanned, but I still believe it's the best rewrite of FT of all time.

How to Raise Your Dragon Slayers by PencilofAwesomeness because I go feral for this Papalogia AU and the kids being the best thing to ever happen to him and everyone who ever reads this. I would die for them

all i got is this pride by titaniaeli about Loke knowing the Dragon Slayers back when they were kids, a 5+1 about them not recognizing him before all remembering at once. This fic keeps me up at night I love it so mudsakdjal

The Fourth Of Jellal by dragonshost when I say the concept of this fic has me by the chokehold pls. Mystogan becomes Master against his every will and he ends up having to actually confront existing in the Fairy Tail guild hall. I never realized how much I craved Mystogan interactions with his Earthland family until now.

D for Dragon Slayers by Beastrage ahhh this crossover between One Piece and Fairy Tail??? It gets my mind reeling. Seeing these unhinged feral mongrels with their un-understandable powers just existing in the One Piece world and the way they all react to them... I so desperately want them to reunite. I will die if they don't. I will.

I'M HERE TO PRESENT YOU SWEET HOPERAI HINTS IN LIGHTNING RETURNS PART 1

(yes Snow they're definitely together

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

[rwart]

Pride Art Project 2018! @philokrates04 inspired me to do gender bends of Final Fantasy characters. I thought since it's Pride month, it would be fun to do one piece each week that portrays a character as the opposite gender without being lewd or cliche. No matter what your gender or sexual identity, you should be able to dress in whatever you feel like. Up first is Hope from FF13! . . . #myart #pride2018 #finalfantasy #hopeestheim #ff13 #artistsoninstagram #gaymer

From left, to right: Top Just Play Harmazing Hairdorables Fashion Pack;  Mattel Barbie Extra #1; Hairdorables Hairmazing Prom Set 2pk, Amazon Exclusive Neila & Logan; Front FuRyu Sesshomaru Noodle Stopper Figure. Second image FFXIII Elixir Trading Arts Mini Hope Estheim Figure. Third Image Pop Mart Hirono The Other One Trading Figure.

More toy hoarding haul items from earlier in the month. I got most of these toys on clearance, except for the FuRyu Sesshomaru Noodle Stopper figure in the front. I paid way more than Japanese retail price for it from Amzn, only to receive it in a bag. Of course, the box arrived crushed and ripped opened and torn on most corners -- in case it is not evident in the photo. I wanted to unbox one, so I had to get this one because I haven’t been lucky to find one on Japanese retailers after I got my pre-ordered one, quite a while back. BiJ never replied to me when they had in-stock ones, and they didn’t allow multiple orders of it, so I had to swallow the higher second-market price. However, I am irritated that people at Amzn think it’s okay to ship Japanese collectible figures, that cost as much as this one, in a freaking plastic bag. DX Good thing I already own one in pristine condition, otherwise as an obsessive MISB collector, I would be crying tears of blood right now. 

I got the Barbie Extra from my nearest Walmart for $12.52 as can be seen on the clearance sticker on the box. I want all of them (kind of), but I can’t justify their retail price tag. I was surprised she was on clearance, since I’ve been looking for most of wave 1, and never find any for other than full-retail. I want some from wave 2 as well, but I feel like I can do with just one from that release. The Amzn exclusive set I also got on clearance from them, so I got two to unbox one, and the fashion pack, because I love hoarding fashion packs as well -- I don’t use/unbox those either (I am a huge weirdo!).

I also got a grail figure; the Square Enix Final Fantasy XIII Elixir Trading Arts Mini Hope Estheim figure. I got Snow Villiers a few years ago, but lost hope (no pun intended!) of ever finding Hope for a good/semi-decent price. Luckily, I was able to get him recently for a price I find "decent" for my wallet -- plus, and more importantly, in the condition I was willing to pay for him. I was able to justify paying for him, and he was sealed in bag at least. I am super thrilled! I never got these because they came with a drink and Japanese laws are so that brands don't have to list all ingredients and/or their sources if they are found in “negligible” amounts. Super late, but super happy with him anyway, I hope I can get the Trading Arts figures as well someday, for not-an-eye-off-the-face. I thought I would get Snow and Hope “later” when the box set came out in Japan a million years ago, then I forgot the search for them when the finally released, and now they are either too expensive to be justifiable for me, or not sealed in their respective plastic baggies. T__T;;

Lastly, I got another Pop Mart figure; I really wanted to get the Hirono dressed as a crow fig, but I got the one he’s dressed as a monkey! Which was the one I didn’t want to get, out of all twelve(?). I’ve never been lucky with trading figures, Lol! I don’t think I’ll try again. I could attempt purchasing one that has been opened, but most people open the bags as well, when you really just need to open the freaking box. There’s a collectors’ card that tells you which figure is inside the bag, without actually removing the figure from the sealed bag, or opening it further for any reason. That’s why I was willing to get Sasuke that way, because the seller just opened the box to take a photo of the card but left the Sasuke figure sealed mint/untouched inside the bag...these are kind of expensive though, so I don’t think I’ll try my luck again, unless I find one crow sealed in its bag. >_>;;

[kurayamimyou-blog]

Yes, I'm a fan of Final Fantasy 13. You don’t like it? I don’t care, we all have our opinions. ;3 I’m a very big fan of Snow & Hope! ~ <3 I like their interactions in the games and all. So I got this little simple idea one day and decided to draw it.  Link to my DA: https://yumake.deviantart.com/art/FF13-I-ll-take-care-of-you-2016-659018397
