hi gang! i know it's been,,,,, literally years since i started working on my fairy tail rewrite but i do want to assure anyone still interested that it is still something i'm working on. however, perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot has changed since i first started the project, so i wanted to give some updates on things people have expressed interest in in the past:

-i toyed with the idea of aro/ace erza for a while and while i do genuinely love the concept, i ultimately decided that it wouldn't really fit into what i want to do with her character. so tragically i can't fulfill this initial idea. i'm a little disappointed myself tbh but i actually really like what i came up with for her part of the story, so... hope this wasn't what anyone was looking forward to the most.

-when i first mentioned rewriting ft, i said there'd be no fanservice. however, having thought about it for some time, fairy tail is a series where somewhat dirty jokes have been since the start, and i don't think it's entirely fair to get rid of it altogether just bc the last couple of arcs forgot to do anything else. i will however promise that no one is going to be less important than their own boobs.

-the relationship between gajeel and team shadowgear will absolutely still be important, but i don't intend to put gajeel or levy in a relationship with anyone, including each other. this isn't really about whether i like the ships involved or not; it's just that i actually ended up putting a bit more of a spotlight on this little faction than i'd intended to (tbh i'd been pretty sure gajeel and levy would have somewhat more minor roles, but fortunately it looks like they'll stay major supporting characters)

-lucy and her family are going to be marginally more complicated than what we got in canon, and while i don't plan to give away too much too soon, there might be some hints towards what's really going on there significantly before i actually unveil my masterpiece (i am ngl so so SO happy with my version of the heartfilia family. i feel like it's both somewhat original and also fits within the world of fairy tail. idk if anyone else is going to be enjoying keeping up with the heartfilias as much as me but i sure hope so. whoa boy)

-natsu spends a lot more time looking for igneel. not like 100% absolutely dedicated nothing else matters or anything (bc that's just not natsu), but it is his main motivation throughout a good chunk of the story, so i'm hoping to bring that into play a bit more.

-i've been pretty clear on this part since the beginning, but ultear and siegrain are going to play a much bigger role in the early parts of the story. this is both bc i adore their dynamic and bc crime sorcière is unfortunately not going to happen. just getting that part out of the way now. as much as i adore them, it just doesn't work here. i don't intend for them to usurp the story or anything, but they definitely have a much bigger and more direct impact on the plot. also like reasons for doing things and better publicity than most of the rest of the council.

-i simply am not going to have the time to give natsu's parents the screentime they deserve, but i promise to give them as much as i possibly can. unfortunately, they really don't matter all that much in term's of natsu or zeref's parts in the story, but there are a couple of other characters with fairly strong ties to them, so it's not like i'm going to ignore them entirely

-cubellios is and will forever remain a snake. hiss hiss

-none of the other manga side stories (including 100 year quest) are going to be taken into account whatsoever. i simply do not care <3

-zeref and mavis's relationship is deeply, DEEPLY important to the plot, but it absolutely isn't romantic at all, so sorry if you were hoping it would be. also i tried my best to make mavis significantly more interesting (plus yuriy, warrod, and precht. especially precht)

-none of the big 4 ships will happen. this isn't due to me not liking them for the most part (i mean, i don't but tbh that really isn't relevant here; i have no problem with writing for ships i don't ship myself if it works with the story), it's either bc it doesn't fit into these versions of the characters or it just didn't end up happening. i know this is gonna put some people off, but i hope you'll give it a try anyway once it's done; i ended up trying out a few things i'd never thought about before and really enjoying them, so hopefully i won't be alone in that.

-the celestial spirits are currently one of my bigger roadblocks writing-wise bc while they're also very important to the story, they rarely get enough screentime to showcase anything other than their powers and One Quirky Trait. and there are so dang many of them; it's kinda hard to balance. however, i know what i want to do with them in the long run, so it's more a matter of getting them there and not having them effectively turn into lucy's somewhat talkative pokémon. also, the spirits aren't property– they've made a contract with their wielder, and this is very very relevant. they are also not human. you may want to keep those two things in mind.

-if a character dies and you see their body and their body is definitely 100% checked-their-pulse-and-tried-cpr dead, that character is dead. it's a fantasy story, so i'm not going to pretend there's no possible way to un-die, but i will say this: consider whether or not dying a likely-traumatic death and then coming back is a good thing.

-there will be ocs. this is basically unavoidable due to what few changes i've made, but i'm hoping they'll at least be enjoyable ocs. most of them shouldn't be relevant for a while anyway

-there are, and i cannot stress this enough, characters that may for some reason have something to gain from lying to the heroes. or to other villains. or to themselves. characters lie, or twist the truth, or are wrong, or a bajillion other things.

-whoever you're expecting the final badguy to be, you're wrong

-lastly, and this is easily the most important, i have completely changed irene's character design to one of mashima's concept art versions of her. if you've never seen it, here's the piece of that sketch collection i'm talking about:

^that's my irene. love me some unhinged old ladymom

#ek3 writes #long post #seriously this is a very long post so if you don't care i won't judge you for not looking BUT #there is a hot old lady at the end. as a treat #fairy tail rewrite #ek3 rewrites ft #fairy tail #genuinely the older version of irene is both much more interesting and just generally hotter than any of the others #oh yeah she also isn't a dragon belserion is just her surname there's no dragon involved and she's not like a bajillion years old #there are other characters that are way older than they look but they aren't anybody's mom #....actually mommy issues are something of a theme now that i think about it #canon!ft: wow look at all the daddy issues #ftr: lol. lmao. lmom #also like i have some subplots that i KNOW no one has ever done anything with before #baby i'm putting relationships between characters who've never even looked at each other #this shit's getting ~COMPLICATED~ #family is confusing and distressing just go join a wizard guild and have adventures #also for anime fans– edo!lisanna's body never disappeared; there is a corpse in lisanna's grave #i don't even consider that a spoiler tbh

Write a fic where Vegeta opens up to Bulma.

tiny little oneshot, here we go!

----

“We never talk,” Bulma says one night. Vegeta stares at her. She waits for a response, but he seems to be hoping that she’ll stop being there if he just squints enough. Alas, many men had tried such tactics before and failed (typically at board meetings, bleh). “We never talk.”

“I heard you the first time.” Vegeta informs her. “We talk all the time.”

“We argue all the time,” Bulma corrects.

“Yes. That is talking. The best kind.”

She has to fight to keep from rolling her eyes. Goku had never been overly fond of arguments, as far as she knew, but Vegeta enjoyed every form of fighting, including verbal. She couldn’t help but think that that was why he’d taken interest in her at all - she found it very unlikely that Saiyan beauty standards were anything like humans.

“I mean an actual conversation. About– I don’t know, little things.” She can’t actually think of anything they should talk about. Basic small talk 101, why hast thou forsaken me?

“Little things?” Vegeta repeats, frowning. It’s probably an Earth idiom of sorts, but he’s still not familiar enough with the language to be certain, so he decides to take it literally (partly because her reactions are amusing, and partly because perhaps then they can just argue and call it a night). “Your father’s shoulder creature is rather minuscule.”

“So are you, jackass,” Bulma snaps, gleefully lording her half a centimeter over him. Unfortunately, she’s aware of what he’s trying to do, so she takes a deep breath and calms herself. “No, like, we should get to know each other. In a less physical sense. Seriously, I know more about your dick than who you are as a person.”

A good response, Bulma thinks, would have been “isn’t that the part you like best”, but Vegeta never responded well to sex jokes. He just turned red and spluttered a lot– and he’s true to that now.

“Woman– I– you– gah!” His face is brighter than an emergency siren, and Bulma bursts out laughing before a thought occurs to her.

“Hey, how come jokes like that bother you so much?” she asks suddenly. “Most guys I know only get embarrassed a little, or they like that kind of humor too. Or they don’t really get it at all.” Vegeta frowns.

“It’s– I don’t understand why it’s even funny,” he admits after a moment. “Why are humans so obsessed with such vulgar things?” Bulma shrugs.

“There’s probably reasons, but that’s not my field of expertise.” She considers offering to stop making those jokes altogether, but Vegeta would probably be offended by that. It’s not really easy to be nice to him. “Are you saying you’ve never met another species that jokes like that?”

“I avoided as many people in Frieza’s army as I possibly could,” Vegeta says flatly. “And any planets I went to.... well, it’s not like I was there to chat with the residents.” Right. The genocide thing. Bulma generally tried not to think about that, but given how big a part of Vegeta’s life it was, it’s almost impossible to avoid. “Do– do you regret any of it?” She asks before she can stop herself.

“No.” Vegeta’s answer comes instantly, and Bulma can’t find a shadow of guilt anywhere in his features. If anything, he seems surprised by the question. “Why would I? Are you asking because you feel guilty for sleeping with me? on their behalf? They would have died anyway.” Bulma blinks. She hadn’t been aware of it, but perhaps she did feel guilty for sleeping with a man who’d taken so many lives. She doesn’t really know what to do about it, though, so she just flops down on his bed.

“This is why I wish you’d talk to me,” she says at the ceiling. “There’s so much about you I don’t understand. Maybe it’s just the scientist in me, but–”

“You are an engineer,” Vegeta says, blinking. “Are you comparing me to a machine?” Bulma snorts.

“Everything’s personal with you, huh?” She muses. “I wish you were a machine; then I’d be able to figure you out in no time.” He doesn’t respond, so she lies there and waits for him to tell her to leave. He’s never let her stay after sex, which is fine. That’s all it is, after all. But he remains silent, so eventually she stands to leave on her own.

As she nears the door, she hears him finally speak.

“...Nappa and Raditz made jokes like that, sometimes,” he says, so quietly that she’s not even sure he meant to say it aloud at all. “It’s not a Saiyan thing, I don’t think. I just– I never–” He cuts himself off and rolls over, facing away from her. “Never mind.”

“Were you close?” Bulma asks, hand hovering above the doorknob. She can’t see his face, but she can imagine him staring out the window at the night sky, comparing Earth’s constellations to the ones he seen on other planets. It might just be her imagination, though.

“...I don’t know,” Vegeta admits. “If we were, it was a long time ago.” She doesn’t ask if he regrets anything about his old partners. She’s not sure she wants to know the answer.

“Goodnight, then,” she says, as cheerfully as she can. Just before the door closes, she thinks she hears him say it back.

hello so i was searching up "fairy tail rewrite" on google since i wanted to read some stuff regarding that?? i just wanna ask where i can read ur works since u seem rlly cool

the ft rewrite is something i’ve been working on for about three years now. and, much to the irritation of both myself and my roommate, it’s probably going to take a couple more before i’m able to post anything :(

i have the same username on most sites, so if you’re looking for me on fanfiction.net or archiveofourown, i’m evilkitten3 there as well.

since you’re a fairy tail fan, i’ll give you a link to all my ft works on ao3. i personally recommend witch’s sin, as i look skyward, and anything jelano-related

(also, if you or anyone reading this is a durarara!! fan: deicide is pretty much discontinued, but i’m considering rewriting it so that it’s no longer a plotless waste of the written word)

Didn’t you say something long ago about rewriting Fairy Tail? That please.

i’m still working on it, actually!! but there’s. a lot to do, and i’ve still only got the bare bones of an outline done. if it weren’t for wilderness, i might not even have that....

but! it’s definitely not an abandoned idea! i just have to make sure it’s fully fleshed out and all. i can’t do what i’ve done up til now and just make stuff up as i go along - not only am i trying to become more professional as a writer, but doing that here would be someone hypocritical as that’s one of my biggest issues with the original fairy tail series.

i do have a very, very rough draft of the first couple of chapters planned out, but i was in wilderness when i wrote it, so i only have a little of that on my computer.

what i can tell you about the rewrite is this: the initial changes are pretty slow. most of the first two arcs (macao and daybreak) are more or less the same, with only a few things altered and some added world-building. the first chapter is basically just a redone version of the first chapter of the manga, with very little changed that affects the overall story.

the first major difference comes in chapter two, and the first drastic change in the storyline happens in chapter five.

so i’ve planned out quite a bit, as you can see, but i don’t want to start putting anything out there until more of it is tied together. i want to have the first three arcs written up before i start posting anything (don’t worry, that’s only seven chapters), just to get a feel for things. as it goes on, the story gets bigger, and i don’t want to get overwhelmed and burn myself out.

tldr: i have no intentions of abandoning ftr! but it’s probably gonna be a bit before i have anything to show for it

oooh two roses!! alrighty, then! (i’m assuming this is from the ask meme from a day or so ago and not just random roses)

「A lesser person might’ve displayed a visual reaction, such as a startled choke. Byakuya, being a Kuchiki, has no such reaction. He also glances aroung the lunch room to be certain that no one has seen him not having such a reaction. His cousin smirks (absurd - there is nothing to warrant it).」

-Dreamcatcher, Chapter One: Casting Nets

「Chichi smiles at her. “Dad tells me you two had a monding moment.”

“Something like that.” Eighteen shifts uncomfortable. “I, uh, I can’t really return your clothes.” Or your husband, but she doesn’t say that part.」

-Men of Tin, Chapter Two: Pretty Broken Things

both of the two oneshots i just wrote are on my ao3!

the oc oneshot is called “The Tale of the Empty Cookie Jar” and the dbz oneshot is called “an open book (in a dead language)”

the only reasons to read them there and not here are the tags (for you guys) and the notes (for me)

The biggest lie in BLEACH is when Matsumoto and Kira fights and Kira asks if she knows what his zanpakuto does and she answeres "You don't tell people about that." EVERYONE tells their enemies what their zanpakuto/special ability is! Yes, even Gin, he just trolled a bit first. But seriously, everyone goes "let me tell you about my power..." or "so you figured out that my ability is...". They're not very good at keeping it secret.

how that scene SHOULD have gone:

“Can it be?” Kira asked. “You don’t know, do you... Matsumoto? What my zanpakutō can do?” She gave him a hard look in response.

“No, I don’t.” She said coolly. “Does anybody? You don’t tell people such things.”

“That’s not true.” Kira was about to bring up that almost no one in the entire Gōtei 13 was capable of keeping their mouths shut about what exactly their zanpakutō did, but since he was about to blab about his own abilities, that seemed like it would be a bit hypocritical. “My classmates Hinamori... and Abarai know, I think. But that’s all right. It can’t be helped now. I’ll show you as well.” It was fortunate that he’d been able to resist the urge to ‘do the explain-y thing’, as Captain Ichimaru had put it.

Kira lunged, but his zanpakutō somehow missed her altogether. Thankfully, she didn’t seem to notice. “Matsumoto!!” The two clashed, blade meeting blade, the sharp cries of steel ringing out around them. “Good reactions!” Kira called, hoping to throw her off her guard.

“Don’t talk down to me!” she spat back. Hindsight – Matsumoto had been a lieutenant for well over fifty years, had served under two captains, and had grown up with Captain Ichimaru. Kira was beginning to wonder why he’d thought he could win this. He wasn’t on her level, and he should have known that already. Captain Ichimaru certainly knew it, but then again... he’d told Kira to be a distraction, so perhaps he’d expected Kira to be prepared to lose. Trying to figure out what was going on in Captain Ichimaru’s head was just a shortcut to a headache, though, so Kira turned his attention back to the fight.

“Just now...” he began. “How many times did you block my sword?”

“What?” Matsumoto was clearly caught off-guard, but the reason for the question soon became apparent as her blade was dragged down into the roof of the building they were fighting on.

“It doubles the weight of whatever it strikes,” Kira said, doing the explain-y thing. “And with each successive blow... the doubling continues. So... finally the defender can bear the weight no more and grovels on the ground, his head bowed in penitence.” Or her head, in this case, but he was pretty sure she understood that without him telling her. “Hence the name... Wabisuke.”

Kira began to explain this further, although a part of him wondered why he was bothering, as Matsumoto was a grown woman who had certainly mastered basic multiplication by now.

“So what?” She asked once he was done dragging out the explanation of her sword now weighing around 225 pounds (weird - he was pretty sure he only knew the metric system). “I don’t intend to twirl it like a baton... I’m going to hit you with it.” Her smirk threw him off-guard. “Growl, Haineko!”

All Kira could do was stare in shock as her sword turned to what he assumed was ash. It occurred to him that he’d had no idea whatsoever what her own zanpakutō could do, and realization struck him to his core. Matsumoto rolled her eyes.

“Hate to break it to you, kid,” she said with the grin of a woman who’d won the fight long before it even began. “But I grew up with Gin. You think you’re the only one he taught that trick to?”

As if to prove her point, Matsumoto proceeded to soundly kick his ass, without ever bothering to say a word about her blade. Somewhere, Kira was pretty sure fate was laughing at him – or maybe it was just Captain Ichimaru.

(for the record, Matsumoto doesn’t say shit about her abilities until her fight with the Tres Bestias, which is her third actual fight in the manga. She’s almost as good at not telling people about her Zanpakutō as Gin is, and she’s certainly better at it than Kira.)

((also most of the dialogue here is taken straight from the manga, with the exception of Matsumoto’s last line and all of Kira’s internal fourth-wall-leaning))

durarara!! au where simon makes izaya take on the raira trio (and saki) for like an internship (after punching him) so instead of the rest of the series being a drawn out gang war, it ends up being a high-stakes dark urban fantasy version of the office.

-namie is still there, and she and mikado have bi-hourly death glare matches

-anri continues trying to slash izaya, coming up with more and more complex ways to get him, and ultimately recruiting mairu and kururi into her “shank the twink” schemes

-masaomi still flirts with anri. and sometimes namie. and also mikado. no amount of pointing out that saki is literally right there will get him to stop, and pointing her out too much usually makes her start flirting too

-initially, only namie, izaya, and saki are allowed to touch the Evil Master Plan Chessboard, but izaya and saki both lose privileges (izaya for one too many fires, and saki for reasons no one is comfortable discussing)

-izaya still gets shanked by yodogiri but anri doesn’t try to slash him while he’s in the hospital bc she’s way too nice. manami very much does try, and izaya constantly taunts them both about it

-manami joins anri and the twins in the “slash a bitch” team

-mikado and saki seem to be having a subtle contest of who can be more unsettlingly adorable

-if izaya, mikado, and saki are all in a room together, someone else has to be there with them. otherwise that room will soon be on fire.

-if izaya, mikado, saki, and the twins are all in a room together, then that room is probably already on fire.

-saki is the only person there who genuinely likes izaya. this does not stop her from betraying him at the drop of a hat if someone she cares about is in danger. or if it’s just kinda funny.

-izaya has to find a better hiding spot for celty’s head and sulks bc now he can’t prance around his office monologuing about valhalla with it. this has convinced namie that there may in fact be some sort of benevolent deity.

-sometimes mikage shows up. the raira trio spends the better part of several months trying to figure out if izaya is sleeping with her or namie. this comes to a conclusion when they walk in on namie and mikage making out.

-during shizuo and izaya’s pointless death matches, the whole office shows up to cheer him on. and by him i mean shizuo.

-mikado eventually starts timing izaya’s Evil Monologues

-anri has yakuza immunity bc absolutely no one is stupid enough to piss off akabayashi. she ends up acting as a spy for the awakusu-kai but unfortunately most of what she has to report is “yes orihara is still insane. no i don’t think he’s been doing any drugs but honestly that’s actually even more depressing he’s just Like That”

-izaya does still do his Evil Plans but he has to be even more careful and every now and then one of the kids gets in trouble and he ends up getting forced to help out

-the recruitment process: “will this be a paid internship?” “of course this is a paid internship, i’m not a monster”

-izaya’s crush on shinra gets increasingly obvious and somehow absolutely nobody notices

-every single one of izaya’s attempts at a hot pot party fail miserably

Ok I'll send you some fanfic tropes (not necessarily fanfic I guess but who cares)

1. Bromance to Romance

2. Found Family

3. Still not over my ex/crush

thank you!!

1. i.... can't say i'm overly fond of this one. it's not an "insta-quit" for me, fic-wise, but it's definitely a loud groan and dramatic eyeroll. bro over ro, as far as i'm concerned. i'll give this one a D.

2. yes!!!!!! a thousand times yes!!!!! but unfortunately this one very much depends on the author, and a lot of the time it all feels rather half-assed. found family should take time, and should take all of the characters involved into consideration. and sometimes people try to force it in where it really doesn't work, which can ruin the whole thing for me for a while. C+.

3. eh.... really depends. sometimes it can work out fine, other times it's the same tired old romance cliches i've seen a hundred thousand times. and i certainly don't want to read a whole fic about it. if it shows up as a trope in a story without taking precedence over everything else, then i don't mind it. otherwise, hard pass. D-.

#ek3 answers #writing #not sure if this is bc i'm aro or bc i'm tired of romance being seen as more important than everything #actually no it's definitely the second one #i rarely ever truly enjoy stories where the main issue is 'will they smooch' #i'm here for DRAMA and ANGST and FRIENDSHIP #and also ANGST
