ALSO LET'S BE PERFECTLY CLEAR, Cana does not inappropriately grope or touch anyone without prior consent or permission. She of all people would know how it feels to be touched without consent, so it wouldn't make sense for Cana to go around groping others.

And even if it were permissible, Cana wouldn't be gross or lewd just for the sake of her own amusement, she picks up on when someone is uncomfortable and backs off, period. It pisses me off that Mashima makes sexual harassment into a norm and it will not be part of my canon. I though I had reblogged a post about this from my archive but im reiterating it for the record.

clenches my fucking fist I am being so serious when I say that Cana is touch starved. I think about how she only had a few years to be held by Cornelia, where she received all of the love that a mother could give her child, only to have it suddenly ripped away from her is such a shock to her system. And to come to Fairy Tail and be surrounded by adults who would have no reason to give her the affection and love she needs ( not to mention the one person who would have been capable of providing what she needed but never knew her relation to them :))) lol ) is another sort of devastation.

Thinking about how she was denied that connection until the other kids begin to join Fairy Tail and at first, she doesn't approach them for the comfort she seeks. Asking for a hug or to hold hands is tentative and embarrassing! But finding the words to ask is clumsy at best, and downright mortifying at worst. But somehow the sentiment comes across: Gray would be the first to understand her language and while I feel he wouldn't immediately reciprocate, in time he would adapt and accommodate in his own way. Mira and the Strauss siblings are far more receptive, especially Mira, whom they grow close as sisters and seek comfort in each other freely.

There are unfortunate instances where she doesn't want any physical contact, in a lot of cases it being when a vision 'attack' takes over and she has made it clear that she does not like to be touched. Unfortunately, Cana's boundaries are disrespected-- by others, by strangers, by men-- and that ruins any chance for her to grow closer to anyone physically due to that trust being broken. As Cana becomes older, she would end up becoming withdrawn but the starvation never abates. Luckily the people she trusts the most consistently show her that her autonomy deserves to be respected, even with the addition of Loke becoming part of Cana's inner circle, their consistent demonstration of giving her space to decide on her own terms when she wants to receive physical affection in invaluable to Cana. Over time however, she becomes much more comfortable being openly affectionate and demonstrates it in casual ways: leaning into someone or against their body, a hand placement on someone's body such as their shoulder, arm, wrist, or hand; hugging someone, whether from the front or behind, or even just comradery gestures like fist bumps, handshakes, hand slaps, back slaps, etc., are a form of affection she'll give.

Answer ALL TEN QUESTIONS.

Addendum: please answer any of the questions that say [insert fandom here] about Shadowhunters.

kelly 🔪🔪🔪

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get? - i’m not real big on simon/izzy, maybe bc i haven’t read the books, idk. i’m not huuuuge on saphael either but i could see the appeal if they made some changes in canon. (namely raphael not threatening/trying to kill the 2 most important ppl in simon’s life, his mother and his best friend)

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP? - simon/izzy as mentioned above, caitlin/barry (the flash), eva/vilde (skam)

3. answered!

4. Have you ever unfollowed someone? Why? - my main reason for unfollowing is that we’re not mutuals and they either drop all fandoms we had in common or they say things that really bother me. i don’t normally break mutuals first but it’s the same reasons usually (i just hold out for longer than i would w nonmutuals bc friends)

5. Do you have a NoTP in shadowhunters? - alec and clary???????? he’s fucking gay????

6. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you? - not off the top of my head but they usually make me hate ships more than i already did

7. Is there anything you used to like, but now can’t stand? - this is an #oldie but klaine lmao

8. Unpopular opinion about shadowhunters? - clary isn’t whiny/selfish, she’s a young girl who’s been through a ton of shit but she remains kind and loyal, even to people (alec) who aren’t usually nice to her

9. Have you received anon hate? What about? - ummm i said this one larry fic was offensive and got some hate and the author indirected me, and then once i said taylor swift wasn’t straight and a hetero got angry

10. Any fandom you’re ashamed of being in? - i can’t say,,,, i’m Too embarrassed
