Phoenix Priestess things

Lucy: I'm gonna go help this stranger find herself and whatever she's looking for!

Happy: Why?

Lucy: Um, cause she needs help and that's what wizards do?

Natsu sighing: Guess that means I have to go too.

Lucy: And why do you HAVE to go?

Natsu: Because every time you do literally anything, you get kidnapped, beat, and most of the time, almost die.

Gray, referring to the rest of the team: Guess we're going to then.

Lucy: And why do you guys have to go too?

Happy: Damage control.

Lucy: But I'm not nearly as destructive as the rest of you.

Erza: Oh, it's not for you.

*Everyone looking at Natsu*

Natsu: Okay, ya know what-

Am I the only one who loves the Phoenix Priestess? The animation style, the plot, how nalu was represented, the angst, that shit was the best. I don't even know how many times I watched it I swear.

How Natsu reacts to the situation, how for the first time he went against Lucy's wishes for her own good and killed the phoenix (thus killing Eclair), THE HUG, the emotional support. SO GOOD

Rewatching the Fairy Tail Movie: Phoenix Priestess because I saw it was on the old 'tube!

[bringerofdeathandtheapocolypse]

Rewatched Phoenix priestess today (Had a friend who knows only what I've told him and like 70% of it is the au) and I relished in the Gajeel and Thunder legion content.

Like Gajeel was great but can I just focus on Laxus for a moment.

First of all, he was manic when he showed up, don't think I've ever seen him that animated (I know movie equals bigger budget but he doesn't show up in dragon cry from what I remember and I forgot he was in this movie) and also I think my new favourite scene is when he lands a hit and uses his lightning to zip over and float next to Freed and excitedly yell "Yes" like I loved how happy Laxus was post GMG and pre Tartarous and I wish he'd gotten longer for that happiness before literally almost dying and then slowly dying and then going to war and almost dying. Plus I totally relished in the Thunder legion screentime cause they deserve so much more than they got post Tenrou (Like they are least got decent treatment during Tenrou with them all getting at least one good fight (although Evergreen pulled the short straw there) but KOTSH doesn't show us Freed and Gray's fight, just a little of Evergreen, Erza and Max's and Bickslow and Wendy get a good go, gmg they do get to help in the dragon fight but they sorta get less focus cause of the dragon slayer, and they're taken out literally first fight in Tartarous and Alvarez. They deserve better) also Bickslow has amazing balance to be able to stand on only one baby and the movie actually remembered that Freed has wings cause he hardly ever uses them in the series (the Wendy's job episode is an example where Happy is like "I can't carry you both" and I'm just sitting with my eyebrows up my forehead because Freed has wings. He can fly on his own Happy) and I love how pretty Freed's wings are and how unique they look.

Also the fact that during a wide shot scene Gajeel was just blinking the phoenix on the head repeatedly was funny. In fact Gajeel in general was great fun. Getting to see him and Lily being sneaky spies was great plus it does add the fact that Makarov just has Gajeel as his go too spy and that is amazing and I bet Gajeel totally loves it because of his love of mysteries (he absolutely watches and reads detective novels and movies) Plus the end pictures where he's eating a full pipe part then later him and Natsu try to make each other eat their element was funny.

I was also repeatedly pointing out Alzack to my friend whenever he showed up cause I sorta made him stand in a like 40 min line to meet his English voice actor. He didn't speak (despite being credited which I dunno) but I pointed him out anyway.

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't bring in other guilds but I understand that it being an 82 min movie, not even feature length would make it a lot harder to provide adequate screen time to additional characters (also probably why a lot of the side cast didn't get many or any lines like how Jet is there during the Erza and Makarov scenes but is just silent) like it would make a bit of sense to at least get like Rogue since shadows and one of the enemies uses shadow and metal so it would have been cool to see a fight where Gajeel and Rogue team up (Before Acno fight)

I might make a little side story of the two movies for the au cause I do like them (and I'm pretty sure I remember seeing somewhere at least PP is canon to the manga like KOTSH) and there is at least small amounts of world building. (Also noticed that aside from 7, 400 is the other common number featured in the series. Literally so many things are either from or linked to 400 years in the past. Irene, Acno, the dragon slayers and dragons, Future Rogue's plan for the dragons, dragon slayer magic, the dragon cry, Zonia(I think is her name), Anna and so on.)

AUGH

The parallel between Phoenix Priestess and Dragon Cry Nalu is so beautiful. And it's about finding comfort in each other when they're being doubtful about something significant in their lives. In Lucy's case, it's magic whilst in Natsu's case it's his identity. Natsu ensures Lucy that regardless of what happens, they're together in it and Lucy ensures Natsu that regardless of his outer look, he'll always be Natsu in her eyes. And both scenes end with a loving hugs.

This scene at the end of phoenix priestess is criminally underrated when it's so adorable </3

Natsu being extremely soft with Lucy in serious moments/when Lucy is having a hard time is so important to me
