Sometimes I think about how the only God Slayers seen in Fairy Tail are ones that are direct parallels to Dragon Slayers. How God Slayers have practically the only form of a Dragon Slayer's element that actively hurts them to eat. And it starts making headcanons spawn like bunnies in my brain.

#for example: dragons can reign over territory and things (hoards) and physical stuff. what element they use is just what they are #a fire dragon is a dragon that uses fire or is made of it. they don't reign over the concept of fire SPECIFICALLY #a GOD reigns over concepts. they hold metaphysical dominion over an aspect of the world #they can use fire or even are made of it because they rule over it #also if the only god slayers we've seen directly parallel dragon slayers n ALL their first appearances were in opposition to dragon slayers #well. makes a person think #also it seems like gods are just as gone as dragons? the only appearance we see is technically dimaria's god soul takeover #which (based on the strauss siblings) implies she defeated a god and ate its soul for power #where's all the other gods? who wrote the book that taught sherria sky god slayer magic? what about zancrow? orga?#because the gods being Inds. Not Appearing implies to me that what got rid of the dragons also got rid of the gods #or at least it inspired them to skeddadle #also because the only gods slayers that showed up are direct parallels to dragon slayers #it feel to me that the ONLY god slayers (and thus gods) that can show up are elements that are already present #which is yeah cool i'd want to see what a poison god or iron god could do but also like is there a god counterpart for acnologia??#like if his element is magic or ether (aka ethernano) is there a god of magic/ether too?#because it would be really intriguing if there's a god/god slayer out there that's capable of punching in acno's weight class #also none of this has even touched on devil slayers #devil slayers seem to not be bound to the same elements as dragon/god slayers (there's no ice god or ice dragon)#and they don't have to be created from a devil of the same element (keyes has no relation to ice but silver? is an ice devil slayer?)#also they seem to be in direct response to etherious (a relatively new species) yet somehow have the same specifications #as these other forms of relatively older slayer magics #it's all! so interesting!! and it makes my brain start churning its gears!!#fairy tail #dragon slayers #god slayers #fairy tail headcanon
