tbh as much as I like graylu I think a version of fairy tail where there's no ships would be much better. Gray & Lucy have great chemistry don't get me wrong but I think any romantic relationship would take focus away from the importance of the guild and the theme of family.

Fairy Tail Doesn’t Need Romance

I completely and totally agree!

Because really, in the end, I’m fine with headcanoning everything from just seeing Gray’s and Lucy’s interactions, and I’m fine with them only ever being friends canonically for the exact reason you have, Anon. That way, they’re not changing into worse characters just to be together.

I think most people are like that. I mean, look at other fandoms like BNHA or JJK, where most if not all of the major ships are completely non-canon but are beloved anyway! It doesn't have to be canon to be appreciated and supported. u_u This way, fans can also have more fun by having to be on the lookout for moments of chemistry between characters rather than being spoonfed the canon relationship moments by the author.

About Fairy Tail, the characters’ individualities and independent agencies depend on Mashima keeping them separate beings apart from their ship, but he unfortunately didn’t do that and made the people in his canon ships turn into mirrors of each other, effectively eradicating their original character.

I wholeheartedly agree that Fairy Tail would’ve been so much better off with just staying focused on its true theme of friendship and family. It can be very refreshing to focus on the platonic relationships that are actually the majority of all human relationships. It's a very good moral of the story too, to treat everyone as friends and family in the way that you don't let them get away with bad things and are always there for them, even if you don't have the extra motivator of romantic feelings to do so.

Thank you so much for sending this ask, Anon. You addressed something that really needed to be said!
