[bumblebeehug]

People who say they are Lisanna fans to hate on Lucy and nalu are crazy because Lisanna would beat their asses

BEEN SAYINGGGG like lisanna is lucy's nr1 fan, it's insane to be so full of hatred they butcher their favourite character's personality like that. i've always thought that lisanna deserves better than what her toxic fans boil her down to (there's plenty good fans out there too ofc). she's so kind and sweet and, canonly, similar to lucy! to hate on either of them just to ship the other pair is so unneccessary - just look away if you don't like nali or nalu, bc at the end of the day they're all fictional characters and they weren't created with the intent to spread hate and negativity.

[lisannastraussisanangel]

oh oh oh i’ve got one :D

guild members’ relationships with makarov headcanons!

Omg this is gonna get me so emotional! This post is gonna be so long holy shit

Makarov knows that these kids are super traumatized when they come to him. That's why he dresses like a funny little jester man. He doesn't want to scare them when they first join

He always takes the time to get to know and work with each kid that joins the guild. Makarov will take that child under his wing for the first week just to make sure they are comfortable

A lot of the members genuinely refer to him as their grandpa/dad (depending on which generation).

Makarov was still figuring out how to deal with children when Cana first joined. He feels he didn't do a good job at helping her when she first came

Cana, of course, disagrees and thinks the old man did a great job at helping her out when she joined

Cana has a ton of respect for him so when he asks her to cut down on drinking. She does so without question. (cutting down meaning drinking one barrel of liquor instead of two)

The two of them do regularly drink together tho

Gray goes to Makarov for advice the most out of the guild members. He really struggles with making the right decisions and Makarov is always there to listen with only minor judgement

Gray feels super indebted to Makarov. Even tho Makarov tells him all he wants for any of his kids is to live long and happy lives

Erza gave Makarov the most trouble when joining the guild. He had no idea how to get through to her. She was always polite and listened to him, but he couldn't get her to open up for the life of him

He just desperately wanted to make the little girl smile. The first time Erza smiled at him, he bawled his eyes out

Erza always makes sure to shoot him a smile when she enters the guildhall now

Natsu decides that since Makarov found him, he now owes Makarov his life. Makarov nearly has to beat it into Natsu that he does not owe him anything and that he is not to lay his life down for Makarov

Natsu then decides to live by the rule: 'you saved my life so now I'm your problem'

Natsu has so much respect for Makarov it's not even funny. But Natsu's love comes with a price. And that price is constant headaches

Mirajane actually didn't like Makarov all that much at first. She appreciated him bringing her family to the guild but she thought he was too lax with how he ran the place

The two of them really bonded after Lisanna's death

Lisanna adores Makarov. She's one of the few people who can catch him off guard and tackle him in hugs (it happens a lot. you'd think he'd catch on by now)

Elfman views Makarov as the perfect man. He wants to be like him. Makarov insists Elfman should find better role models

Mystogan views Makarov as his father. He cannot imagine anyone else who deserves the title

Mystogan's biggest regret was not being able to tell Makarov how much he appreciated everything he did for him

Bisca and Alzack were so upset that Makarov wasn't there for their wedding that they ended up getting remarried just to have him be a part of it

Every time Makarov compliments Gajeel, Gajeel has to fight back tears. He worked so hard to earn Makarov's trust and respect so now every time the guy is nice to him its almost enough to send Gajeel into a sobbing mess

[animeyanderetalker]

How would you personally rank the seven main Dragon Slayers from lowest to highest yandere potential?

I really hope I got all the Dragon Slayers who you referred to as Main right. From lowest to highest:

Wendy Marvell: Simply because she is not only the youngest of the 7 Main Dragon Slayers featured in the series but also because she has arguably the most rational and mature Exceed in Carla who she values not only as a good friend but also listens to. Carla has been with Wendy for years and always keeps an eye on her and lectures her if it comes down to it.

Natsu Dragneel: He’d be quite oblivious if he were to go Yandere for someone but I think because Natsu is pretty social and was blessed enough to grow up in the Fairy Tail guild where he always had support and friends even when his childhood friend Lisanna supposedly died. Happy isn’t the brightest Exceed and would surely support his crush in any shape or form but on the other hand there really are enough people who could talk or smack sense into him if it boils down to it.

Gajeel Redfox: Gajeel initially belonged to another guild who was on the more evil side but ever since having been taken in from the Fairy Tail guild I feel like he has embraced virtues the friendship and loyalty a whole lot better. He’s still more on a wild and impulsive side and that may lead to him developing an obsession over someone quicker than people like Natsu yet he still has a pretty good voice of reasoning in Panther Lily.

Laxus Dreyar: Laxus is similar to Gajeel as he was introduced as an antagonist in the earlier run of Fairy Tail but the reason why I would put him higher is because he strikes me as more of a loner. He has neither an Exceed nor does he seem like someone who would share his worries as easily with others, even his own Thunder God Tribe. So his feelings may simply escalate because he just lets them simmer for way too long beneath the surface without talking it out with someone.

Sting Eutcliffe: The Sabertooth Guild has become a better place since Sting became guild master but that hasn’t always been the case. The tradition under its previous master was that the winner gets it all and the loser deserves nothing and even if Sting is fundamentally not a bad person that mindset has partially rubbed off on him. Sting is a boisterous and prideful young man who knows that he’s handsome and strong and his Exceed Lector is unfortunately his biggest cheerleader who would encourage an obsession.

Erik: The whole plot with Cubellios is the main reason why I think he would be deserving of being ranked as high as he does. If Erik embraces someone in his heart he is dedicated to that person which we saw already when he lost Cubellios so it is very easily imaginable that he’d develop obsessive tendencies over his darling.

Rogue Cheney: There’s literally the canon confirmation that Rogue has a dark personality and an entire arc centered around his future version who succumbed to the dark side because of the death of Frosch. Rogue is normally quiet and calm yet he would definitely fall victim to dark urges if he should fall in love with someone deeply and they would end up being in grave danger as this would be the trigger to awake his shadow.

[fairiesheart]

I only really have two complaints towards Lisanna and for the first one it’s that Hiro Mashima won’t allow her to really interact with anyone outside of her siblings as much (which kind of sucks) like most of the guild we at least get to see who is close friends with who but for Lisanna she was kind of put aside when she returned from Edolas. Like I would love to see who her close group of friends within the guild end up becoming after her return from Edolas.

The second compliant is that when Lisanna talks about not wanting to make her siblings worry about her anymore (back during Edolas) there’s always this weird writing decision that Lisanna either gets kidnapped or easily beaten/restrained by the enemy quickly (and it’s to a point where we see Mirajane and Elfman worry a lot) such as when Lisanna was used as a time bomb back in Tenrou island and Mirajane was trying to fight Azuma and at the same time her focus ends up being worried of when the time bomb will explode or when Lisanna was easily taken down by one of the demon gates in Tartarous (which I get since the demon gates are no joke and stronger power wise but we could have at least had her stand her ground for a little bit before being defeated) and Elfman ended up trying to blow up the guild due to his worry of his sister.

Like why not have her get the chance to protect her siblings so then the line about her not wanting to make her siblings worry anymore can come back full force? Or how about Mirajane or Elfman struggling against a enemy and then Lisanna surprising her siblings by taken that villain down being able to prove to her siblings that she can in fact handle a fight

My complaints were never really about shipping if I’m being honest. Especially with looking back into the series I honestly think she deserved so much better.

[pyropsychiccollector]

Natsu Harem: Fairy GET! 4/14

Let's see... Pink, brown, white.... We'll go with blue. Yes, blue. (人◕ω◕)

Juvia will be the next here. (人◕ω◕)

When did they meet?

During the Tower of Heaven incident. (人◕ω◕) Admittedly, Juvia's "love at first sight" thing with Gray is... Well, it happened. Even with this series having fanfiction in its veins, I won't pretend the crush never existed. I already acknowledged Chelia's crush on Lyon, and Cana's dabbled around with men... Might as well touch on Juvia's obsession with Gray. I am no coward. I will overcome this hiccup with relative ease~... Not that Gray doesn't deserve a girl. ... I'm just not crazy about Gruvia. Navia is much more interesting. Fite me. (人◕ω◕)

So, Juvia goes and helps Team Natsu infiltrate the Tower of Heaven to save Erza. (人◕ω◕) She's jealous of Lucy's bond with Gray, so she makes her air bubble smaller out of spite. They all manage to make it into the Tower, so no harm no foul~...

To be perfectly honest, however, Juvia and Natsu interactions are fleeting in canon. So I'll skip the long-winded review of canon events and just give a bare-bones look back at it. Even if Juvia's whole shtick is supporting and orbiting around Gray, the fact remains that she does help Team Natsu and Fairy Tail as a whole... Even joins the guild. (人◕ω◕)

When did they grow closer?

This is a million yen question, folks. While there's a ton of flexibility and options, strictly going by canon Juvia would never give Natsu the time of day. Good thing I was never a canon purist. (人◕ω◕)

Juvia's thing is Gray, yeah? So it follows if she wants to be as close to him as possible, she'd hafta join Team Natsu. Cuz for better or for worse, Gray is nice and cozy on a team with his hotheaded rival, Lucy, Erza, Happy, and eventually Wendy and Carla. (人◕ω◕) That said... If Juvia does join up, I can see Erza wanting to attempt some team bonding exercises to get to know one another better~... This means not just bonding as a group, but in two- to three-person units. This means sooner or later, Juvia will have to team up with Natsu and be properly introduced.

... Do not be fooled, however. (❋•‿•❋) Juvia is a stubborn, faithful woman. Bonding with Natsu is her least favorite ways to pass the time... He's loud, has no manners, always picks fights... Oh yeah. And he always beats up her Darling. (❋•‿•❋) You can be sure that in their early interactions, Juvia-chan attempted to order Natsu to stop picking fights with Gray, if only so that her Beloved could better spend his time.

It doesn't work out, of course. Natsu's just as much of a free spirit as Juvia is. And moreover... Natsu and Gray both confirm for Juvia that they get plenty out of butting heads with each other; in their own quirky way, they're making sure the other isn't slacking off, and constantly measuring their strength against one another. (❋•‿•❋) Juvia might not like it... But it is what it is.

So once the initial cold shoulder phase is over and Juvia does some jobs with Natsu, she begins to see his caring spirit. Whether it's her, Happy, a client, or someone else being threatened... Natsu gives it his all to defend them. While Juvia finds it admirable, she does still think Gray is leagues above Natsu. And really, she's besties with Gajeel. She knows Dragon Slayers are strong and have big hearts. She knows that. ... They just don't appeal to her on a romantic level. (❋•‿•❋)

Here's something a little interesting, though. (❋•‿•❋) Lisanna befriended the Edolas Juvia. So when the S-Class trials come up, she volunteers to be Juvia's partner, even though Juvia is severely down in the dumps about being a rival to her Beloved. She doesn't mind Lisanna's companionship, Juvia's just got Gray on her mind. Always. (❋•‿•❋)

But the Lisanna connection really is a possible way in for Natsu. An additional way for him and Juvia to be connected. After the trials and the seven year gap, Juvia does grow closer to Lisanna, and consequentially she and Natsu get more time together little by little. (❋•‿•❋) The Navia ship is often a slowburn, folks. Natsu isn't romantically attracted to Juvia, not for a long while, and you know Juvia is a faithful woman. And you know Lisanna won't be telling Juvia to jump ship, no, no. Lisanna-chan can be a bit... greedy like her neesan. (❋•‿•❋)

Still, the Grand Magic Games goes to show Juvia that Natsu is remaining as tough as ever. Which is good for her Darling, cuz Gray needs a strong rival. (❋•‿•❋) Juvia also enjoys participating in the games...even if for the first while she was technically a rival to her Beloved. Again. But then final day of the games came up, and Juvia replaced Natsu's spot so he could go save Lucy. Then she was a teammate with Gray-sama. (❋•‿•❋)

After the games and the stuff with the dragons... Juvia-chan thinks Natsu has earned a reward for helping give her time with Gray-sama, not to mention the destruction of the Eclipse Gate. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) They're just friends, but Juvia has come to accept time with Natsu is not time wasted anymore. She winds up knitting Natsu a new scarf... Not that Natsu is willing to accept the thing, cuz the scarf he got from Igneel is more precious to him.

... This depresses Juvia a lot, considering she put a lot of thought into her gift to Natsu... On top of being rejected by Gray constantly, it's like being turned down in stereo with Natsu joining in. Natsu picks up on this, and resolves to cheer Juvia up despite not understanding what's wrong. After Mira walks him through the problem - to which he only half-listened, half-understood - Natsu decides to get Wendy's help in enchanting the scarf to have some of his Magic. He'll hafta "recharge" the scarf every now and then, every few months, but he gives the scarf back to Juvia and she's amazed at how toasty it feels. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) At first she thought Natsu was just throwing it back at her, but once he explained what he and Wendy did... Juvia's touched at Natsu's thoughtfulness. ... Even if she still hasn't given him a proper gift yet. Juvia feels bad about that. But. Natsu-kun isn't a complete blockhead of a friend, and Juvia will take this as a win. (๑╹ω╹๑ )

Do we even need to go over Juvia and Meredy? (๑╹ω╹๑ )

... (๑╹ω╹๑ );;;

When does friendship turn to something more?

After Tartaros, Juvia can't think of anything except how she hurt Gray by helping "kill" his dad... She doesn't even know or think about Igneel dying... So whereas Natsu's off cavorting with the Strauss Siblings during the year hiatus, Juvia's with Gray-sama. (๑╹ω╹๑ )

... It's not exactly everything Juvia wanted, despite how she puffs it up as all that. (๑╹ω╹๑ );;; Natsu's Magic ran out months ago in the scarf, and Juvia has felt... empty without it. Plus, even with Gray treating her as a good friend, he still edges away from romance. Naturally this bums Juvia out. And when Natsu sees the scarf and just charges it up for Juvia without being prompted... That sticks in Juvia's mind. (๑╹ω╹๑ )

She's there when Fairy Tail's all reunited. And Juvia goes with Team Natsu to save Makarov from the Alvarez Empire. The subsequent war brought to Ishgar is... overwhelming. A lot happened. There's several points Juvia isn't sure how they'll make it through the day.... But they do.

And in spite of everything that's happened... Gray still turns her down for a relationship. Of course he was overly apologetic about nearly killing her, and Juvia is a precious friend to him... But Gray can't force something that isn't there. He carried his dad's wish to hunt down END and kill him for the past year, and now he's just not sure what he's gonna do from now on. Sticking with Fairy Tail and Team Natsu is obvious, protecting his friends is "no duh", but he just... His head's not in the right place for a relationship. He needs time to unwind and figure out his own personal goals in life.

Not that this more decisive rejection doesn't rattle Juvia to her core... She keeps insisting she'll wait for Gray, but her insistence only makes Gray all the more resolved to keep his answer as "no"; cuz in his mind, Juvia deserves better after the mistakes he's made. And she shouldn't put her whole love life on hold, let alone dedicate herself to someone that just may never reciprocate...

That's when Gray decides to get Natsu, Lisanna, and Meredy's help on this one. They're all friends with Juvia, and if anyone could get Juvia off this tunnel vision thing, it'd be them... It's not easy. Juvia is tenacious, committed, and really, does anyone like admitting it's over when it's over...?

After some prodding from Lisanna and Meldy, Natsu takes Juvia out for dinner. He even gets dressed up with the girls' help, and go to a nice restaurant. Sure, it's not this perfect outing that Juvia envisioned, and she's even more devastated when she perceives Lisanna and Meldy's intentions to get her to try a date with Natsu...

But at the end of the day, Juvia only realized the outing was a "date" after it was nearing its end. Despite the high class restaurant, going to a nighttime festival, doing whatever Juvia was up for... Juvia just took it all as Natsu trying to cheer her up. When she realized it was a date, Juvia was certainly revolted at first, that she enjoyed herself with someone other than Gray-sama...

... But after all this time with Natsu, Juvia knows he never meant any ill will. Natsu knows her feelings for Gray are strong, and he's not trying to erase them out of spite. He's helping out because even the Stripper is concerned for Juvia, that Lisanna and Meldy are worried for her, and they all just want Juvia to be happy.

It's still a bitter pill to swallow, to just give up on Gray after all this time... But Natsu-kun has always been there, as have Lisanna and Meldy. They've been great friends... And Juvia supposes she can learn to love Natsu more "properly". (๑╹ω╹๑ ) For Natsu's part... He never has to complain about Juvia being "fired up" for jobs or much of anything. Their mutual passion for life bounces off each other quite nicely~... Yes. This couple has all the good vibes. \(๑╹ω╹๑ )/

~~WIP Wednesday~~

So, first WIP. Trying this tumblr thing out. Hope you enjoy? (I'm so damn awkward)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WIP (Working) Title: Feelings

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She easily found Juvia and Lisanna, hugging them both and telling them she was heading home because she really didn’t want to stay at the party if Dan was there and constantly trying to get under her skin. “We’ll talk soon, I promise.” She kissed both of their cheeks before she headed towards the door, her dreams of a peaceful escape shattering as Dan blocked her path.

“Lucy! I don’t believe you’ve met my Angel.” He grinned at her, his eyes slowly moving down her body despite the woman in his arm. “She’s a reporter, too. She works for the Magnolia branch of the National Paper. She covers the big stories as they happen. So much better than covering small time, fluff stuff, right?”

Lucy gave the white-haired woman a genuine smile despite the barbs in her heart at Dan’s well aimed dig. “That’s amazing. But, if you excuse me, I was just-��

“Angel also lives in his amazing penthouse!” Dan grinned maliciously at her, not realizing the frown on Angel’s face as she caught on to what he was doing. “She also models on the side. She has the best fucking body I’ve ever seen.”

Lucy kept her face neutral, trying not to take his words to heart even as they stung because she took pride in her looks. “I’m happy for you, Dan. But, really, I was just-“

“There you are,” Natsu slid up beside Lucy, his arm curling around her waist as he pulled her against his body. “Bedroom’s the other way.”

Lucy’s eyes widened just a fraction as she noticed Natsu was now shirtless, his belt was unbuckled, and pants were undone. “Wh-“

“Ya promised I could lick whipped cream off ya in celebration, Luce.” He purred the words, holding up a can of spray whipped cream as his eyes locked on hers, silently telling her to go with it. “I’ve been dreaming about it all night, baby.”

“S-Sorry,” She stumbled out, her hands resting on his bare chest as she decided to go with it despite how mortified she was. “I was heading out to grab something.”

“Mmm, don’t worry, baby. I got everything we need in the room.” He held the can up. “Wanna open that pretty little mouth of yours for me?” He was completely ignoring the stunned looks from everyone around them, giving Lucy his undivided attention and grinning when she opened her mouth almost instantly. “Good girl.” He sprayed some of the whipped cream in her mouth, pulling back just enough to have some drop on her collarbone. “Oops.”

Lucy’s fingers lightly dug into his chest as she watched him duck his head down, his tongue sliding across her collarbone and up her neck until his lips were at her ear.

“Put your legs around my waist. Trust me.” He whispered, lifting her up and smirking when she did as he told her to. “Let’s go. I’m ready for my reward.” He carried her off to one of the bedrooms, not bothering to look at anyone as they left. “Sorry.” He muttered, setting her gently down on the bed before stepping back and fixing his pants. “You looked so hurt and uncomfortable.”

She stared at him, her eyes wide and her face bright red as she watched him pull his shirt back on. “S-So your solution was to do-“ She gestured helplessly. “That?”

He chuckled as he started pulling his socks and boots back on. “Yeah. Because he’s trying to hurt you because he knows you’re still single and he thinks the more he bugs you, the quicker you’ll go back to him. I just made sure he knew you had moved on.” He glanced at her as he tied the laces on his boot. “Everyone was just watching. They all knew what he was doing and no one fucking did anything. It pissed me off. You don’t deserve that.” He rubbed the back of his neck, a little embarrassed. “I just wanted to get ya out of there and save your pride at the same time.”

She stared at him, completely baffled by his sudden mood change. “Th-Thanks.” She whispered, looking away as she tried to calm her racing heart down. “So do we just sit here and wait an appropriate amount of time before leaving?”

“Nah,” He smirked and moved to the window, shoving it up and showing her the fire escape. “Why don't you let me walk ya home?” He held his hand out to her. “I promise after we get on the ground, I’ll keep my hands and mouth to myself.” He winked.

META: reputation

the base questions were kindly provided by @fairybond and they massively helped me speed up the writing of this post

what is your muses reputation? → arguably, her reputation in and around magnolia is an unkind one. going off canon, she is seen as a grumpy hermit who does not like to interact with others. i have gone into how i think that this is nonsensical for her before---no one who genuinely hates people would devote years of their life to becoming a healer. together with jackie, i have come up with a very complex explanation why she is seen this way, and while that is a bit much to get into here and now, it is a sufficient explanation for that dissonance.

how did it develop? → she was pulling back from society due to a combination of events and causes, one of them being that due to her keen senses, staying in a city as loud as magnolia was very difficult for her. this in addition to her decision to pull back from the guild gave rise to the idea that she is a hermit who wants to be left alone.

is it accurate/fair? → eh, i'd say no. in some ways, she is a sacrifical lamb in the sense that certain people who should know better let this reputation remain, a fate that she accepts because at the end of the day, she cares about people and the children in the guild do not deserve to miss out on high quality medical care, just because she is on bad terms with their guildmaster. now, they tend to be hesitant to approach her, but that is not really on her, the way she sees it.

how do they feel about it? → she does not feel strongly about something that has little effect on her actual life; most of the people she cares about know better than to put much stock in rumours. there are times when she does wonder if maybe, she should have aimed to make herself more approachable, mostly when lisanna returned from edolas---that was in fact one of the few times that sica was tempted to reach out to someone, she felt like lisanna might benefit from someone who had a vaguely similar experience. ultimately, she did not reach out before tenrou happened.

what are some rumours about your muse? what would the average person know or assume about your muse? → the average person would easily overlook her scientific accomplishments because the average person, by virtue of being an average person, would have no reason to have come to know about this. → there is also a good chance that people would assume that in the . . . situation between her son and his father, she is siding with makarov. she is not---she just has a very wrong understanding of the order of events that led to ivan's excommunication since her memories were manipulated

what are things most people Don't/Wouldn’t know about your muse? (we all hate when someone has their muse know something about ours that they shouldn’t know) → that she is the edolas version of the dragon grandine; given that only very select characters were even present and conscious for the arc, it is deeply unlikely just anyone would make the connection. i would argue that aside from the characters who were told this in canon, only bob and goldmine would know the full story as by the time that grandine made contact with sica, makarov and her were already on bad terms. → the full spectrum of her feelings about makarov; close friends and ivan know, sure, but otherwise? she is very good at keeping a straight face when he comes up

how does your muses reputation affect them? → frankly . . . she does not care much about it. she cared more when her son was much younger, and that was mostly because she did not want her reputation to affect him negatively. funnily enough, her reputation was better back then. it does affect her as the way she is seen has caused the rift between her grandson and her to grow over the years. things are being mended, now, but---this is a hard thing to come back from.

im sorry to start fairy tail posting again i was not in fact cured of this disease but im straight up lisannamaxxing... im strausspilled.... i love the strauss siblings theyre my favorite side characters and mirajane is like the second best character in the show straight up (right behind erza) but lisanna is so compelling to me she was my favorite as a kid and now she's on the brain for me again im just like. So obsessed with her because there are few other animanga characters i know of whose own narratives couldnt give less of a shit about. shes literally suuuuch a nothing character that the only possible thing mashima could think of when it came to coming up with her edolas alternate is that her alt is literally just dead... she just exists to give natsu dead girlfriend angst first and foremost and elfman/mirajane dead sister angst after that, but for some reason i care her So much you guys dont understand nobody will ever understand. shes like everything wrong with fairy tails writing shes so emblematic of mashima being a shitty pandering shounen author and you know what she deserved better. im literally her number one fan. i will never understand why mashima decided to make her not dead but i will thank god every day that that is the case. shes nothing. shes everything. she broke out of the fridge because someone forgot to shut it fully and she fell out on accident. she has no reason to still exist in the narrative. i would kill myself if she didn't anyways

[moeruhoshi]

You don't know me and I don't know you but I can't help but add on aaaah! I love this!!! Please ignore me if you hate it

Lucy sat across from Happy later that night, mildly picking at the fish she cooked for them both. His chewing slowed when he noticed Lucy's fork absentmindedly tear into her food.

"Lushii? Everything okay? You made some really good fish tonight!" He said, trying to perk her up.

"Yeah," She sighed, looking at the empty seat her partner usually occupied. Lucy had bought enough fish to feed his overzealous appetite, though knowing he would be busy with Lisanna. "Everything's okay."

"Natsu said we'd look at the job board tomorrow," He hummed, biting into his trout. "Just like old times!"

"Oh, I don't know," She sighed again, remembering just what old times meant. They used to have their own fights, but they were never serious. Mostly her yelling at Natsu for raiding her fridge without permission, sneaking into her bed at random hours of the night, making her walk to a job instead of taking the train.

His words used to be honest and straightforward, his happy-go-lucky attitude never fearing to be oblivious. Natsu relied on his strength and he was who he was. Even moreso when they were together.

But now that he was with Lisanna, things were all twisted up.

He said things without saying them, saying all of the things they had hidden underneath their friendship.

Lucy regretted never confessing her feelings when she found out they got together, but if he was happy, so was she. Natsu deserved to be with the person he loved.

But just for a second there, she was confused and hurt. She was sure, underneath all of his pranks and childish antics, that he loved her. That he really loved her. Not Lisanna.

Lucy never confronted him, what good would that do? She was still more than happy to be his best friend, and even though they spent less time together, he was still there for her.

They were still a team and worked together, he and Happy would come over to play, she would yell at them for breaking into her apartment.

But those unspoken things between them manifested in odd ways that she didn't want to believe meant more than Natsu being Natsu.

He still snuck into her bed, Lucy waking up with his arm tucked snuggly around her. He buried his nose into her stomach when he was sick on the train, claiming her scent was a better cure than Toria.

He still dragged her into his lap when he was annoyed, avoiding conversations about Lisanna. And always avoiding what it meant to hold her like that.

His lips barely brushed her skin, his breath warm as it huffed out, the pads of his fingers making her skin shiver.

If she ever met his eyes...those emerald eyes...they'd look up at her with all of the emotions that she didn't want to admit were there.

He'd bury himself against her shoulder and hold her tight, so tight that even she didn't mind. It felt too good to be in his arms, to feel his silent words caress her.

Happy was curled up at the foot of her bed, the moon overhead as Lucy failed to fall asleep.

She couldn't sleep until she knew how it went, if they made up. If the dandelions made her smile.

She knew he'd come, show up on her windowsill, with a melancholy smile that didn't say much more than what she was thinking.

And he'd crawl into her bed, hold her in his arms, and sigh before they both fell asleep.

“Natsu, what’s the matter?”

Lucy asks, pouring more coffee in her cup. Natsu doesn't bother answering, instead proceeds to open a bag of chips. Lucy leans on the doorframe and watches him with a frown.

She knows what’s wrong, though she wouldn’t, if not for Happy telling her. And she is upset, best friends are supposed to share everything with each other. He shouldn’t be the one to forget.

The celestial mage raises a brow, confused, when he motions her to sit beside him.

“Thought I was your best friend.” The dragon slayer rolls his eyes at this, as if she is the one acting weird. “What makes you think you aren’t?” “You’re not telling me anything!” She walks over to the couch and drops down beside him, visibly annoyed.

“And what exactly am I supposed to tell you?” His hard stare makes her stomach churn as he speaks, “Tell me.”

Suddenly, Lucy has to look away from him. There were so many emotions playing on his face, she swears, his gaze could be described as a sword piercing through her soul. Was she meant to see the anger, sorrow, pain, guilt... and love in his eyes? Or did she just her imagine all that?

“I just- I wanted to know if everything was alright between you and Lisanna,” she manages to say, “I know that’s personal but I want to help you. That’s what best friends are for.” She finishes without looking at him.

He just scoffs.

And the next moment Lucy finds herself straddling his lap. She squeals, her hands land on his shoulders for purchase. Embarassed, she almost forgets to breathe at his intent stare.

She tries to push off, “Natsu, what-”

“I’d prefer not talking about fights I have with my girlfriend, when I’m with you.” His hands on her bare waist keep her in place. His words don’t make any sense. Lisanna should be his only concern now, and he should be spending time with her.

And they sure as hell shouldn’t be sitting like this. What if Lisanna comes in, sees them and misunderstands the whole situation? Things can’t get worse.

“Natsu, let me go!”

He doesn’t, rather pulls her impossibly closer, arms wrapping around her middle in a tight embrace. He rests his head on her shoulder and draws in a long breath, making her shiver.

Lucy gives in, despite knowing it’s wrong, runs her hands through his unruly hair. The gesture always comforts him. Specially when he gets motion sick. “We shouldn’t be doing this, you know.”

“I don’t care.”

“You should.”

“But I don’t.”

Lucy rests her chin on his head. “Buy her flowers and chocolates tomorrow, hmm?” She feels him sigh, and then finally nod. “She loves Dandelions.” The blonde reminds.

“Fine, I will.”

WOW FAIRY TAIL. seeing them brought back sooooo many memories of middle school me hgehasf ANYWAY what do you think about the Strauss siblings??

The most siblings of all time my god!!!! I love them so much can do no wrong my three baby children!!

I try not to be too biased but my god. Elfman is everything one could ever want in a character. He sets the standard for Fairy Tail guys. He's big. He's Dumb. He's full of love. The perfect himbo of a guy.

Baby Elfman specifically is my everything he is just a Littol Guy I am pinching his cheeks and pulling them till he cries he's so cute in him little bow tie baby smile absolute perfect child hold him gently and brush his hair.

Elfman to me is Bi with a preference to men. There's a filler episode where Juvia is asking everyone what they want most as a gift no matter what and I know his whole bit is Manly but the fact that his answer with minimal hesitation is "A man" is so not Straight. But also his entire thing with Evergreen actually matters to me so much you do not understand.

Headcanon that Elfman is positively terrified of his own strength, he doesn't like being big and buff as much as he acts like he does. He likes feeling like he could protect people, sure, but in his mind he's just as likely to hurt them as well. When he gets older and his life calms down as the need to take jobs to pay rent lessens I think he'd eventually stop working out and fall comfortably into a pudgier shape, more like he was when he was little. Dad bod Elfman. Bear Elfman. Consider it.

Mirajane is probably, objectively, the best character in this show, Hands down. She's the only female character treated with any respect in a fight, she is smart, she is sweet, she is cute, she can kick your ass, she's very easily the second strongest wizard in the guild tailing Gildarts by only the littlest bit. She's held back by the trauma of loosing half her family not once but twice, she healed, and still chooses not to fight as she just lost the taste for it.

She's one of few characters who uses her head, she thinks, she holds the guild braincell and my god has she had to bear it for so long. The wiki says she's 19 and I fucking disagree. This is THE woman of all time. She uses her power as The Only One Who Thinks to mess with people and my god she's so fucking funny I'm sorry but this woman's gags are hysterical and when everyone else is getting into bullshit and she just plays into it and encourages them I genuinely laugh every time.

To me she has a lot of Aro vibes, happy with friends and family. If she were to get into a romantic relationship I think it'd be with another woman, I just can't see her with a guy?? She was born to live the Aunt life though, so when Elfman finally settles down and adopts the dad bod she is going to be all over his kids all the time.

Lisanna I have a bit of a harder time with. I wasn't really expecting to ever really know her, ya know? She was dead, it was a big deal, a big stain in the backstory of everyone in the Guild at the time. I thought she'd be someone who's death rung across the rest of the narrative, not a sort of love interest to get between Natsu and Lucy (which she doesn't really do either?)

She doesn't have a lot of plot relevance. Where I am right now she has yet to take a fight on her own, and as far as I can remember all the fights she has been in she's lost. Everyone counts her out really fast, keeps her out of harms way, kinda... treats her like a baby. And then outside of fights she doesn't do much either? I have a hard time finding her in character shots around the guild or placing her in any casual situations. So not only is she no longer the trauma the Guild bears, she's also still not really present despite being alive.

I like her, trust me! I think she's cute, the way Laxus reacted to her on Tenro island is positively adorable and makes me laugh every time, I like Elfman having another sister to bully him around in my stead, I'm glad Mira had the chance to heal she always needed and the sister she loved back.

I just think, personally, she was better as a point in history the characters grieved than as a character rarely used.

Also she's Straight and Transgender I make the rules this is my house.

I'll forever be bitter about Lisanna's treatment both in manga and in fandom.

Rambling about Fairies - Manga Chapter 170

Honestly, I love the wonderful and tragic implication of Lisanna being alive in Edolas. it’s great it turned out to be Lisanna and the reunion with Mira and Elf is so beautiful, but I fully understand people who don’t like it too. 

There just wasn’t any meaningful buildup to that reveal before we were suddenly given whiplash at the end of the arc. It felt like a shock for the sake of shock, especially since Lisanna doesn’t do anything meaningful narratively after she returns. 

I’ll say it first. I love Lisanna a lot. A LOT. But only in flashbacks and as my fan version of her. In canon, Mashima chucked her aside and sometimes I almost wished she stayed dead because I loved her as who she was in the flashback, as someone so kind and meaningful to everyone. After she came back, Mashima stopped caring about her character, and everything I once loved about Lisanna just stopped happening and was replaced by another face in the crowd. I wish she continued being a wonderful and hailed character, and Mashima should have stopped before he ruined her. 

Often I wonder how it all would have been with a Lisanna that truly wasn’t ours. If this truly was Edo-Lisanna instead of Earth’s. I love how tragic the Nali story is, similarly to how I love how tragic Jude and Lucy’s story is. It just adds so much depth around Natsu’s personality and dynamics with other characters, and I feel that is a bittersweet note of growth and development for him. 

This moment was a powerful climax to Lisanna’s so long buildup of existence. I just wish more was done with it in Edolas before she just returned home. Did she even need to return home? Like, even if it wasn’t to bring her home, what was the point of reintroducing her in Edolas if she wasn’t to become an important/semi-vital part of the Edolas narrative like Edo-Lucy? It would capitalize on their similarities one last time, you know? 

I wish more was done with her potential in Edolas, because just look. Natsu was about to cry. Lisanna being here actually brought a genuine, emotional tear to Natsu’s eyes, and as I’ve mentioned, we don’t usually see that in the manga.

I wanted to see more of this. More of Natsu figuring out how to deal with Lisanna being alive here. I want a dilemma of him not knowing if he should care for her, if he should ignore her, if he can ignore her. Not just Natsu nonchalantly moving on to the serious issues, that makes no sense. (Even if you don’t ship Nali romantically, please, you’ve got to understand, his long-dead childhood friend showed up alive. Who just moves on like it’s nothing?) There was so much buildup to how much Lisanna meant to all of them, so Mashima not following through with it upsets me just as much as the Mystogan-Wendy situation. 

Heck, not just Natsu, I want Happy to react! Natsu is strong enough to hold back, Happy is lost and confused and there’s no better opportunity for him to run to Lisanna for comfort because someone he thought was dead is alive. 

So you know, I will forever despise how Mashima turned this situation comedic for no reason. It’s just so tone deaf to the buildup thus far. Even if that wasn’t their Lisanna, Natsu deserved a moment to actually be vulnerable and express his damn emotions without being thrown into a comedic light. 

Like, I just want Natsu and Lisanna to interact. How ridiculous is it that they don’t ever interact? Literally Lucy and Gray gatekeeps him from it, they can’t even share a greeting before Lisanna is whisked back into being nothing, the plot captures them, and they never interact again. 

This is the stupidest way to end their old friendship without any closure, and I can’t believe anyone could justify this horrible writing. Even the fucking Mystogan-Wendy reunion had more substance to it and that is also rock bottom.
