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

[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 😭😭

[nagisa-wx]

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]

When Natsu swore he would never forgive that dude(I don’t remember his name) for making her cry

Uuuuuugh PEAK

my nalu will Always be phoenix priestess nalu. i do not respect 100 yq nalu… that is not them… like they do not fuck around when it comes to each other and I WISH that the writers would make good on that🙄 anyway sorry i’m doodling nalu and i was like am i being too ooc and then i remembered that canon nalu is also ooc so i’m right basically!

[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)

Friendly reminder that Lucy wearing revealing clothing is actually a very important part of her character

It symbolizes her freedom, from her father, from her old life, it's not simply fan-service

You're not disrespecting her by drawing her in that kind of clothes

You can love and respect a character and want them serving cunt too

NATSU IS A HYPOCRITE

People really think that the reason we were upset with natsu when he left to train for a year is that he didn't deserve to grieve.

NO

YOU ARE SO WRONG AND IT BAFFLES ME TBH

Natsu had all the right to leave, and to grieve, healthily or not.

But let's get real for a second

NATSU IS A HYPOCRITE

AND A BIG ONE AT THAT

He had the right to grieve and Lucy had the right to be sad about him leaving her

Imagine the person you are closest with, that you trust the most, basically spend all your days with, someone you love, YOUR BEST FRIEND leaves you WITH A NOTE, AND A REALLY SHORT ONE BFFR

We are not upset that he left to train, we are upset that he left with a shitty note, Lucy and everyone else deserved a physical goodbye, not that.

Now, why do I call Natsu a hypocrite?

What do you think he would do if he came home and found a letter from Lucy saying she was going away to train for a year?

HE JUST WOULDN'T LET HER DO IT

He would go after her as far and long as needed and bring her back, or ignore her wishes and join her (I'm not excusing this behavior)

And How do I know that? Because it already happened.

Remember phantom lord arc? When lucy went to talk to her dad and left them a note saying she was going back home?

Although she was going to leave for A SINGLE DAY? The way Natsu and the others WENT AFTER HER TO BRING HER BACK?

THE WAY IT DIDNT EVEN BE A DAY AND NATSU CRIED THINKING SHE LEFT??????!?

He is a hypocrite, because he did what he would never allow Lucy to do, he cried and went after her after being without her for hours but then he goes and does the same thing, BUT WORSE.

Again, HE HAD THE RIGHT TO LEAVE, but lucy HAD THE RIGHT TO BE SAD BE SO F*CKING FOR REAL

I can't believe I brought this back, again

anyways

[shiiro-arts]

IM SO SAD, the scene was so good, they made his apology weight more, the voice acting, the music... and I'm really happy about that, but that damn joke...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I'M JUST GOING TO ACT AS IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH

[shiiro-arts]

Natsu knows how to cook and Lucy doesn't

She grew up with chefs and was not allowed in the kitchen for 16 years of her life

Natsu had to learn to live alone with Happy (a literal baby), him wanting his food almost burned or completely burned does not equal not knowing how to cook

[shiiro-arts]

I'm so incapable of picturing 100yq Natsu doing the things OG Natsu used to do for Lucy, and it's so damn sad

I can't picture him bringing her the sakura tree, or giving her a hug to confort her, or go for miles just to find her book, I just can't.

They made him so damn stupid and dense in 100yq that I'M JUST INCAPABLE

I don't want pervy moments, or jealousy moments

I want those tender, genuine moments that we used to have...

Bring back Natsu, bring back Lucy's Natsu

[shiiro-arts]

FT 100 YQ Spoilers

Hi, yes, friendly reminder that Natsu is still canonically a demon

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

[shiiro-arts]

What are the instances when Natsu emotionally vulnerable when he was with Lucy?

We have seen him enraged when she was hurt/or thought dead, we have seen him protective over her but never seen the emotionally vulnerable side of him front of nearly anyone actually.

As always, FT Spoilers Ahead!!!

One thing about Natsu is that, like you said, he rarely lets his vulnerable side be seen.

He sees himself as a pillar of strength, someone everyone should rely on and trust, that's why we barely see his sensitive side.

People think that he doesn't open up to Lucy, but just because he doesn't talk about his problems doesn't mean he hides them from her, they are subtle, but there.

One of the most obvious one is in Dragon Cry

Natsu goes through an identity crisis, he doesn't know what he is, whether a demon, a dragon or a human

For a brief moment we can see how horrified he is of himself

His transformation is taking a toll on him mentally, so he relies on Lucy

This was a call for help from Natsu, he didn't shout that he needed help with his identity, he subtly asks Lucy, -how he looks-, a really ambiguous question. But he knows Lucy will understand, he knows she is aware he is asking for reassurance and validation from her, because he trust her THAT MUCH.

This interaction is exclusive to Lucy, he lets himself be vulnerable with her, he shows WEAKNESS, something he would never allow himself to do with anyone else, not even Happy.

Before asking her the question, we can see how he puts distance between them, he is terrified of hurting her and what she thinks of him, THIS IS VULNERABILITY.

He was scared of his own body, but the moment Lucy reassures him, he allows himself to be touched by her, this is not a simple hug, this represents the acceptance of his identity of what or who he is

Dragon Cry aside, we can see how Natsu's behavior changes when he's with Lucy, just Lucy

The guild sees natsu as loud, troublesome and violent, BUT THAT'S WITH THEM, it's a facade.

We never see Natsu get into a physical fight with Lucy, or an argument or destroy something, he avoids it like the plague, in fact when they are alone Lucy seems like a MUCH more restless and hyperactive person compared to Natsu.

He makes the usual jokes, but they're best friends, that's what they do.

Natsu avoids any fight with Lucy at all costs, they have known each other for years, but the only physical fight they have had so far was when Lucy was transformed into a snake and he HAD to fight her.

Lucy is not a person who he sees as someone to use to vent, Lucy is someone with whom he allows himself to be himself, to rest

Lucy is Natsu's safe place

I'm creating a new tag for this kind of analysis so people can read them if they want :)

[shiiro-arts]

So you are telling me

this MAN

is CANONICALLY UNATTRACTIVE

he looks positively EDIBLE in this pic GTFOOH

[shiiro-arts]

Yall deranged if you really think Natsu doesn't know what he is doing with Lucy but knows how genes work
