More ToH Children Headcanons:

For @dirtmanwalking :)

Simon used to make the group meditate once they started using magic. Claiming they needed 'a sound mind and body' but it was mostly just to get them all to chill out

Contrary to popular belief, Erza is closest to Shô out of the whole group

Erik would bring his snake around and introduce her to all the kids

Wally has mandatory movie nights. Jellal nearly cried the first time he was invited

Simon has two graves. One where the tower of heaven was and one in a cemetery by Kagura

The Oracion Seis used to play a secret game of house. Kids weren’t allowed to have fun so it had to done quietly.

Millianna owns several cats and volunteers at a nearby shelter in her free time

Shô and Wally send postcards to Fairy Tail and Mermaid Heel every time they visit a new place

Kagura is an honorary member of the toh family. She's in the group chat (because of course they have a gc lol)

Is Erik South Asian / Indian coded?

This post isn’t going to be as extensive as my other FT posts, but I am going to put out thoughts of mine that have been playing in my head for some time now. Along with my observance of ‘Jellal wearing kohl’ and ‘Why aren’t the ladies of FT wearing panties anymore’ , I have another I want to put out today.

I think Erik (Cobra) of OS/CS is South Asian coded.

Specifically Indian.

I will list the evidence and explain my train of thought underneath.

Admittedly though , a lot of my reasons are for visual representations I have seen of him in both manga and official art, so I am not sure how solid my connections are for the HCs but I will say them either way.

Clothing pattern

Let’s start with the first reason why I believe Erik to be SA coded.

This is an image of Erik/Cobra from the official manga during the Nirvana Arc

Sadly the intricate design of many characters' clothes are omitted/reduced when animating, Erik here being no exception. And though I understand why, it’s a shame as so many details get taken out which could help piece some more information on the characters which aren’t told upfront.

In the manga, Erik is introduced with a piece that includes a paisley design (the teardrop shaped pattern) on the inner parts and cuffs of his coat. Why this is important to note is because the paisley design is something that is known to be a widespread clothing print all across Asia, namely South Asia/South-west Asia!

This Kameez (South Asian tunic) of mine has the ‘paisley’ pattern which is on Erik’s coat

Of course it is possible that the pattern on his inner coat/cuff could just be for the sake of fashion with no cultural significance, but taking in mind my next points I think it makes the argument of Erik being SA/Indian coded stronger.

Jewelry

This may come off as a weaker point I admit, but Erik’s use of jewelry also reminds me of SA heritage. His rings and armlet (or what I learned is called an arm-ring).

This opinion is purely subjective. I can admit that, but me coming from SA heritage myself, his use of jewelry resonates with the way I've seen it being used in my own culture; such as the design , what patterns it is being paired with, the use of adornment. It really reminds me of SA fashion and tradition.

But I want to be more objective in my reasoning so I looked up why his use of jewelry in the manga does resonate with SA heritage and found some things.

The armlet/arm-ring that Erik has on his coat in the manga is similar to that used in Indian heritage.

Fair in Indian tradition it’s used as a bridal jewelry (Vanki) for the women, but it was the closest I could find that was similar to what he had for my argument. It might be a reach though and I can accept that.

Now I will go onto my other point as to why I believe Erik is SA/Indian coded.

Salwar in game card

Another clothing observation, but his trouser reminds me of a salwar with a slit at the bottom. The slit is a bit higher than what I am accustomed to but I have seen clothing like this in SA heritage.

It’s not overly common but you can see where the influence comes from-

But let me go onto the main reason I have always thought Erik to have some ties to SA (but specifically India).

Cobra

As everyone knows his name when introduced is Cobra, however what this name also holds significance with, is the fact that India’s national reptile is actually the Cobra too!

King Cobra to be exact!

And on top of that in Hindu mythology, the cobra is a greatly respected and revered figure, literally seen as a deity and I believe that ties in well with Erik’s connection with snakes/cobra.

Erik

And the last point I want to make is that even his name can be found in South Asia too , just in case people want to counter the argument that the HC is improbable due to him having a European name.

As it can be seen the name Erik can be found near everywhere in the world, predominantly in places with European connections but also in Asia too.

And since I am arguing Erik being possibly Indian coded, I will show the statistics for his name there.

1,386 incidents of the name in the country! That is not a small number even if minute compared to the density of the population.

Map of India with distribution of the name Erik. (the darker red parts show a larger population of Eriks)

It’s very possible though Erik’s name could be from another SA country too. Or maybe he’s a case of being biracial with both SA heritage and something else.

But I could see him being fully SA too since despite the Christian / European origin of the name, there’s a lot of POC who give names like that possibly due to following Christianity or just out of preference! (and personally I know this is a trend in South Asian communities)

But I guess we will never know unless Mashima sheds some light on Erik’s background. ^^'

Now with all this evidence presented, you can judge for yourselves if Erik’s design/clothing and connection to cobras is merely a coincidence and i’m reaching or is he possibly a SA/Indian coded character?

Thank you all for taking the time to read this <3 Also big thanks to @jerzaworms for helping me find some of the evidence to help supplement this post and strengthen the argument of this hc!

Erik doesn't want to be around Natsu or Laxus, but Kinana thought it was a good idea so here he is.

Laxus gave the sleepover a chance, but got bored and went to sleep.

Wendy has the opposite problem to Cobra in that she wants to be here, but Carla thought it was a bad idea so she went to sleep before the video games started. She thinks calling random numbers is a bit stupid, but she didn't want to feel more left out.

Sting is hosting at his and Rogue's place and stayed up all night eating sweets. He is the one that suggested calling ramdom numbers.

Natsu thought calling random numbers was fun until he called Erza and then it was a lot less fun. Then he decided that that was tomorrow Natsu's problem and stayed up all night playing video games.

Gajeel tried to get the group to sing karaoke, but not even Rogue and Wendy pretended to be interested. He made up for that by making up his own lyrics to the video game's music. He also woke Wendy up, which Sting used as blackmail to get him to stop singing (he threatened to snitch to Carla).

Rogue would have taken the communication lacrima's from the three idiots, but he didn't want to start a fight inside his home, so he let them call random numbers. He spent the time he wasn't playing video games trying to sneak healthy food into the ungodly amounts of snacks Sting was eating.

For doing this again: Sting, Natsu,

For never speaking of this again: Rogue, Laxus, Gajeel, Erik,

Abstaining: Wendy

My favorite part about the new Cobra chapter is the fact that Laxus deadass looks this man in the eye, KNOWING HE CAN HEAR THOUGHTS, and thinks, "I could kill you in ten- No, five. Fucking. Seconds."

AND THEN JUST GOES, "Nice to meet you," AS IF HE DIDN'T JUST THREATEN THE POOR BASTARD LMAO

Now I might be wrong but I was thinking about it and...

I'm pretty sure by the end of Fairy Tail Cobra/Erik is biologically the oldest of the 7 Dragon Slayers but the youngest of them chronologically/by birthdate.

Which is just so fucking funny??

This isn’t for anything; I’m just curious. A little fandom study, if you will Also this could be for doing the whacking or reading the whacking. Makes no difference.

*The Sad Boi Stick can be emotional, physical, or both. It is about whacking a character like a piñata until Feelings come out, especially of the angst variety. It does not preclude the desire to see the character loved and comforted during or after said Sad Boi Stick Situation.

(Also if there is a specific person in one of the groups listed that you like, feel free to specify in the tags! I only had ten slots to work with...)

#fairy tail #polls #the ft sad boi stick poll #go forth and feed my curiosity #also it probably goes without saying but #erik is my favorite :)#i just figured i was a fandom minority #so i didnt splurge and give him one of the ten #though please prove me wrong #there are no wrong answers #all sad boi hours are welcome in this house

Ultear is back to normal cause I said so headcanons:

-She is always spying on Jellal. That man will never know peace

-Her love language is bullying

-Erik cannot read her mind. He has no idea why. Current theory is that she’s a freak of nature

-If Natsu tells one more person she’s a man. Ultear is ready to go back to jail. He’s fully aware she’s a woman but he thinks it’s funny

-She views Gray as her brother. Lyon is on thin fucking ice

-Ultear will say the most outta pocket shit. Just to get everyone all riled up and leave

-The Oracion Seis is terrified of her. (In the way fairy tail is scared of Erza)

-Every time Lyon flirts with Meredy, Ultear ice makes the ground to have him slip and fall. She reverses it before he can see what happened. So he has no idea why he keeps falling around Meredy. He tried to play it off as “I fell for you” but after the third time it lost its charm

-Whenever she has a particularly bad day, she heads to the beach. She doesn’t have many memories of her mom, but being by the water makes her feel close to her. Sometimes Ultear will speak to it as if Ur is standing in front of her
