How it feels like when you finally find your own art style

[mashirodayo]

i Love your demifiend he's so shaped (affectionate)

Awww, thank you!! I was an avid Demi-fiend enjoyer, like 2 months ago (now I'm just normal about him... probably), and took the opportunity to endlessly draw him until I was comfortable and familiar with his unique features— especially his hair 😭😭

[shiiro-arts]

I'm pretty sure it's because Mashima is horrible at writing lasting trauma (at least in FT).

In the anime there is nothing in Lucy's behavior that could give the idea that she has trauma related to it.

Should she be traumatized by what happened to her future self? Absolutely

Does mashima show it in any kind of way? No

Just like Natsu should have had some kind of reaction when confronting Acnologia knowing damn well he was the one who murdered his father right before his eyes, but there is literally no reaction from Natsu, at all. Acnologias roar does seem to affect them since the tenrou inccident but not Acnologias presence as such (wasted potential btw).

Why doesn't anyone write about it? Because Lucy shows literally no signs of trauma related to those events, while Natsu does, becoming borderline obsessed with protecting her.

okay so, i just had this thought. everyone talks about natsu’s trauma following future lucy’s death, theres fanfics about it, fanart, canon scenes with natsu being more protective etc etc. but, why does no one talk about how traumatising that must’ve been for lucy? imagine watching yourself take your last few breaths knowing that was your ‘future’ dying before your very eyes. surely that must’ve fucked my girl up even just a little, knowing that technically you’re future has now been cut short but you have no idea by how much. genuinely terrifiying to think about btw

I'm so sorry

I CAN'T DO IT >///////<

[im-a-tall-midget]

Holy fucking shit

I've got 51 followers, guess i gotta post some shit on my art blog soon.

[dethklok]

Why do people have to treat teachers like shit I mean honestly theyre just to trying to do their job they really dont deserve most of this shit

[shiiro-arts]

I will never shut up about how Happy was letting them have their little moment

[shiiro-arts]

me when Natsu gives his scarf to Lucy

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHGGGGGGG

[shiiro-arts]

I needed some positivity, so... ✨pregnant lucy✨

I'm not fully recovered from what happened, but I think getting back to my routine will make me feel a little better

[angstandhappiness]

INTERESTING

I would do crazy things for Mashima to use the plot that Lucy rewrite a FUCKING DEMON BOOK OF THE MOST POWERFUL DEMON OF ZEREF. AND SHE LEFT WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCE?

GIRL. GIRLLLLLL

[shiiro-arts]

A minute of silence for all Nalu fans because we will never get this animated (the rest of the manga is way too freaky lmao)

[shiiro-arts]

I just realized, natsu getting punched the shit out of him because he gets distracted because lucy gets hit is kind of sad, because not only he gets worried, he probably freaks out.

He freaks out because since FLucy died, he's always been there protecting her, making sure that never happens again.

So when Lucy gets hit, and he can't protect her (him being there), he probably remembers FLucy, and how he couldn't do anything to save her

My poor baby is traumatized

[shiiro-arts]

Something you probably overlooked but I didn't because I'm just that obsessed

Natsu dislocated the bones in his arms trying to save Lucy from being tortured

Writers will share their work, something that they were so proud of they decided to share with the world (something that takes a lot of bravery as it is) for FREE and people will still give their unwanted criticism, as if anyone asked them in the first place

If you dont like something, JUST LEAVE, GOOD GOD...

Ahhh the nice smell of comments- oh no it's entitlement towards free content.

Honestly let's talk about it, for ao3 beginners because I feel there's a lot out there. Why is this a bad comment? 1. It's unwarranted advice. 2. It's asking an ao3 author to change their work. 3. It insults the author. 4. It tells the author readers will lose interest. And 5. Fanfics are absolutely not books, very, very big difference. Personally I'm just fed up enough to reply to it directly and discuss it on here as well, because I think it's become a bigger issue in our comunties that people have lost fandom etiquette and taken up a level of acting like a paying customer that has no place in fandom.

Writing in fandom is for fun, posting it is to share that fun with others in a hopefully uplifting community. This is why it's rude and bad to try and act like an author owes you changes to their story to better fit your preference. If you like a story and later on it becomes something you don't like, move on to something else, you don't need to tell an author you don't like their fic, it's there for people who like it, not for criticism. Instead, find a fic you like and leave a comment telling the author how much you like the fic, what you like about it etc, it makes our days, I promise!

Personally I'm not too bugged by it, just momentarily annoyed, but I can see comments like these being the reason a young author stops writing, and I'd hate for that to happen, so I will yap about what's good and bad to comment. Anyways, that ends my little rant on commenting :p.

"NATSU WOULD NEVER HURT ANYONE FROM FAIRY TAIL FOR LUCY, THAT'S OOC"

Natsu about to kill his best friend/brother(gray) because he thought he lost lucy:

[shiiro-arts]

Actual friendly reminder, Lucy joining the guild it’s a core memory for Natsu
