#sorry you ddn't ask for half of that

I’m sorry, but after that Ichiyanna chapter, I have no reason to believe Earthland Nasha is a NaLu baby! Like, between the three Heartfilia women we know of, they all look fundamentally the same, and even have Aya Hirano/Cherami Leigh voicing every single one of them to boot And if Mashima’s telling me the Heartfilia line has dodged THOSE genetics for 400 years, I struggle to believe that Natsu’s DNA will be what finally overpowers that lineage, especially given that the two Dragneel men we know of look nothing alike!

Nasha's design is from a random Q&A where a fan asked the creator for a nalu and gruvia kid so in the manga its a cute nod/ easter egg. I also think another blonde Lucy clone would be cute but the pink hair leaves no question to the father and after surviving the Naruto fandom I'm happy we are all now avoiding that discourse.

I don't think much thought went into the Ichiyanna chapter at all but that's sadly just how Fairy Tail is written at times. I've kind of given up on the story trying to do anything meaningful/thoughtful with the characters so I'm buckled in and just hoping for Lucy content because the writing on Natsu has been so disappointing I don't really get excited by new NaLu moments

I've also been loving Gray and his journey in valuing himself more.
