Gray’s Fantasy of a Happy Family (Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Spoiler - Chapter 84)
I saw a Twitter post about this scene in An Icy Fantasy and everyone was wondering why Mika wasn’t there. My guess is that this allusion was based on Gray’s memories. He doesn’t remember his real mom which is why she isn’t there, he’s had interactions with everyone in the room at a time where he was old enough to remember.
Aside from the Mika question: THIS SHIT TOOK MY HEART AND SHATTERED IT! Even if he does get to have Juvia and Greige, he’ll never be able to have all the people he holds close to him during his special moments in life. I’m broken, a scene that looked so happy ripped me to shreds. Why must they always pull on my heart strings. I never cry reading things so why now?!? He deserved this so much and the fact that he can never have it is what makes it worse. I LOVE YOU GRAY IDC!!!!🥹💔
Chapter 84 edit I like to watch when I want to cry!

Back on my NaLu BS
A little snippet of a fic, but I needed a pallet cleanser from how hard I've been working to finish my long fic and nalu has been plaguing me especially this week, so enjoy a sleepy nalu fic
Natsu stalked across the dark city, a clear destination in mind.
It was late—so late, not a single soul could be found walking the quiet city. Even the streetlights and half-moon high in the sky provided little light between the dark buildings as he stalked through streets and alleyways.
Natsu wasn’t sure why he needed to leave the house. He even left Happy behind in his need to go, leaving the blue cat to snore peacefully on their little cot. He didn’t even grab any clothes, marching through the city with nothing but his sleep shorts on.
It was just—Natsu couldn’t sleep. He was tired, and Happy’s snoring and mumbling usually helped Natsu doze off easily, but tonight was different. Every time Natsu closed his eyes, he thought of golden hair and brown eyes. He thought of a warm scent of vanilla and roses and something else that Natsu couldn’t explain except that it was completely Lucy. He waited and waited to fall asleep, but after a few hours of tossing and turning, Natsu couldn’t ignore the itch at the back of his mind that needed to see her.
So, there he was, following the instinct to find her in the dead of night until he was looking up at her apartment. If he woke her, she would yell at him and throw something, so he had to be careful.
He jumped up to her window, easing it open slowly.
There she was. She was tucked deep within her blankets, top of her head just barely peeking out, but he could smell her calm scent and hear the steady beat of her heart.
Natsu didn’t know what he was doing. He didn’t want to leave, even after checking in on her. Would she be really mad if he stayed? He didn’t actually want her to be mad, but it was hard to ignore the instinct that wanted him to stay.
A breeze blew in and Lucy shivered, even under all her blankets.
Natsu was inside closing the window before he knew it. Well, he was already inside. He might as well stay and deal with the consequences tomorrow.
He crawled into bed with Lucy, easing the blanket open to slip next to her warm body. At least she was wearing something this time—Natsu paused with the blanket in his hand, taking in the too big white button down that hung off her shoulders and bunched around her waist, completely covered in his scent.
He didn’t know why he paused on it. Lucy wore his clothes sometimes. Lucy wore no clothes sometimes. Why was it weird that she wore his shirt to bed?
She already had traces of his scent—they spent too much time not to have their scents muddled together at this point. Her apartment especially spelled just as much like him as it did her. So why did this shirt make him feel so strange?
Lucy made a noise in her sleep, shifting onto her side so she was facing him, arms somehow finding him and pulling him closer to her.
“What am I, a pillow,” her mumbled to himself, forgetting the strange feeling the shirt brought out and instead focused on the warmth of Lucy’s skin pressed against his and the calming intermingling of their scents. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
~
Lucy woke slowly, warm and groggy and ready to fall back asleep no matter what the bright stream of sunlight beaming in through her curtains had to say.
“Hmm…” A deep voice hummed, and Lucy jumped out of her skin, snapping her eyes open to someone lying next to her.
It took a moment for her sleepy brain to understand, but it came to her slowly. The blankets had been kicked to the bottom of her bed at some point, probably because a salamander snuck into her bed and overheated her. At some point, Lucy had climbed half on top of him, pressing her front against his as she used him as a pillow and likely a source of heat.
Lucy… didn’t know how to react. She usually got annoyed or embarrassed when Natsu broke into her apartment, but she couldn’t deny in her sleepy state that she slept much better last night than she did in the past year.
Ever since Aquarius... Lucy just couldn't get to sleep, and even when she did, she couldn't stay asleep. Nightmares of losing her friend and her guild plagued her until she forced herself to give up on sleeping.
Natsu grumbled again in his sleep, arms coming around her waist just as he rolled onto his side, taking her with him so that they lied facing each other. Lucy blinked sleepily at his face, completely relaxed and breathing so deeply that Lucy couldn’t bring herself to wake him.
“I’ll yell at you later,” she whispered, tucking herself back into him and letting her eyes droop shut, just missing Natsu’s eyes slitting open. She fell asleep quickly, and Natsu tightened his arms around her and rested his head against hers before falling back asleep himself.

Y’all ever thought about how distraught Natsu was in episode 281 (“evil” gray ep)?
His face and the way he yells when that man was about to cut Lucy in half just makes me get chills every time. But I only just stopped to think of how terrified he must have felt in that moment, because he’s already traumatized by future Lucy’s death. Me thinks I should write a lil thing about what his thoughts could’ve been.
I mean no one reacts like that and isn’t a lil bit in love.

i'm gonna put my theory out here because if i'm right, i'm going to feel like the smartest woman alive but.
we all know this art, right? we know that it's official art? it's not fan art, it's real, "canon" in some capacity.
if yukino can learn how to use stardresses mere moments after learning of their existence, is it such a stretch to say that lucy could use her stardress through brandish's body? there's a lot of ways that i think this fight could go, but i think lucy being able to use her own magic in some capacity is the most interesting and considering the weird choice's we've seen thus far, it is absolutely not the most extreme theory.

Zeref talking about Acnologia: He is the destroyer of all, winged calamity. His motivations are shrouded in mystery. Wherever he goes, he brings--no, is death. A ruin of even hate, swelling to omnipotence.
Acnologia talking about Zeref: what, that flute whittling crybaby? the bLaCK WiZarD? what about the little emo lol

Something I find interesting related to the Sub Zero Emperor / Galuna Island arc is that they tell us that demons can't even get close to the Moon Temple. But that's not completely true...
Because Etherious can get close to the Temple and they are also classified as demons. So it must be only normal demons that can't get near it. After all Natsu was clearly able to get into the Temple. I would also argue that it can't just be chalked up to whether or not Mashima decided to have Natsu actually be a demon when the arc was created, because Deliora was arguably closer to the temple than any of the demon villagers ever got. Deliora is also an Etherious literally known as the "Demon of Destruction."
Makes me wonder about demon classifications. Like I guess Mirajane and Minerva might still be able to get into the Temple despite having more demonic essence than the average human. Since their demonic essence is more compared to or related to Etherious than the Galuna demons.
Anyway I just thought it was interesting that natural demons have "too much darkness" and therefore can't go to holy lands but artificial demons like Etherious are some how fine?

I’m rereading fairy tail and it’s like 3am so I’m definitely over thinking, but why do the dragon slayers (specifically Natsu) have Edolas versions of themselves. They were born 400 years before the plot started, their edolas versions should have died long before the plot right. Oh and Natsu originally died even longer before the plot. And does this mean there’s a Edolas Zeref as well. I’m probably putting more thought into this than intended. It’s probably the same reason why the dragons have Edolas versions but most of the characters have ages that match up relatively.
