♦️ i need some good natsu and lucy headcanons 👀

-> Ask and you will receive.

-> Natsu like to lean on people. To be fair to him he was used to having a huge ass dragon dad and laying on him constantly or flying on his back. So now with people in his life he leans on them a ton just affectionately. The problem is most the others aren't the most fond of this habit of his. He's good at respecting boundaries with stuff like that for the most part though sometimes he forgets.

-> Lucy however is so used to lacking a lot of physical affection and so when Natsu first leans on her shoulder or something similar she's pretty startled by it but doesn't tell him not to. So Natsu takes this as the okay to keep doing so with her. Constantly leaning on her shoulder, her head, flopping against her back or her side when they're sitting.

-> Lucy complains sometimes that he's a leach in the way he latches onto people but she doesn't really mind. She especially appreciates it when it's cold out as Natsu is basically a natural fucking heater (though most the Guild also leans closer to Natsu during winter and colder days. Some have even been caught using him to dry off on rainy days) though she tells him to back off a lot more during summer cause of this.

-> Cause of Natsu's constant touching, Lucy gets much better with touch in general and doesn't flinch unless surprised by it (which is more just the surprise itself than being touch starved)

👫 listen though ; childe and kaveh

Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship! / accepting.

kaveh's the voice of reason who has to see childe do the stupidest & most immoral shit & despite all odds, childe always survives it & it leaves kaveh absolutely stumped. why did childe jump in that suspicious hole in the middle of nowhere and in the desert? childe why is there a bloody knife buried into your shoulder? hey what the fuck do you mean when you got stuck in the abyss for 3 months as a kid?

that being said, on less risk-taking situations where it doesn't activate childe's impulsive neurons, kaveh is someone childe will actually listen to if he asked the harbinger to do something. kaveh is someone honest and passionate and with genuine intentions. it's not something childe sees often, especially considering the environment he's in, where harbingers have their own motives despite serving the tsaritsa. kaveh asks childe to take a break? childe will sit and just vibe. like a good golden retriever.

on the other end too, i like the thought of childe dragging kaveh with brute force if he ever overworked himself. childe gets it! he can't sit still himself, he's always doing something, and he's naturally restless. but he sees how high stress of a person kaveh is & how it seems like he's working towards this... goal that childe doesn't see yet. childe's someone who has difficulty with empathy, so he does the next best thing and that's to move his ass, ft. kaveh getting dragged off! so ironically enough, kaveh is the voice of reason, but childe is the action of reason!

childe could care less about the other harbingers' activities here in sumeru, even less for the people itself if anything happened here. which i think is why, if kaveh & childe were ever to grow closer, he'd feel this uncomfortable itch to get away. kaveh's someone who loves beauty and the people so much, something childe relates to, but the harbinger has always seen it as something fleeting and temporary. for kaveh to build and create structures meant to stand until the end of time, it confronts childe with the realization that he can still care for things, but the tsaritsa's goal would lead him to destroy things. no matter what cost.

"You make two fart jokes and your girlfriend up and blocks your number for an hour. What is up with that?"

@givenfate asked : 👫 <3

1 : GRAY AND LUCY ARE BAR BUDDIES BUT RARELY DO THEY ACTUALLY DRINK. Whenever the Fire Fairies go out for drinks or go to bars for whatever reasons, these two are always sitting on the side lines and just, vibe checking the entire room. They can and will talk mad shit about anything and everything but rarely do those conversation ever leave these two. The walking definition of "My friend and I saw you from across the bar and your vibes are rancid"

2 : GRAY HAS BLACKMAIL ON LOKE THAT HE ACTIVELY SHARES WITH LUCY. Gray and Loke were best friends for literal years, it would be impossible for him not to have any form of dirt on the Lion. When Gray found out that Loke was a spirit, and more importantly Lucy's spirit, he felt personally obligated to giving the celestial mage some 'helpful' information on him, much to Loke's dismay. If Lucy has ever used the information Gray has provided her, he'll probably never know unless the celestial spirit confronts him about it.

3 : LUCY AND GRAY HAVE LITTLE SHOPPING DATES FOR CLOTHING. Considering these two are some of the few people in the series who actively have multiple outfits, it would make sense for them to go shopping together. Gray's is more out necessity considering how often he looses bits and pieces of his wardrobe on various jobs, while Lucy's is more for the love of expressing herself with her wardrobe. Both actively enjoy having the company when they do go out and it's nice having a second opinion to stop them from buying something truly hideous.

4 : THE TWO HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY TAKEN A JOB AS JUST THE TWO OF THEM. It's not from a lack of trying, absolutely not, but they always seem to have the worst luck when getting ready to leave, only to have someone else jump in to tag along. 9/10 times its one of the other Fire Fairies, and will quickly turn into a full team job, even if it truly only calls for just the two of them. They joke constantly that the universe will end before the two of them get to do a job alone, and with how many times the world has almost ended, there is a small part that absolutely believes that sentiment.

Makes him a 🌼 crown and puts it on his head ♡ / from lucy

a flower for the salamander <3

The majority of the day had been spent traveling on the road back to Magnolia after a, thankfully, relatively easy job. The reward had been decent and it was kind of nice to complete a job where they didn't have to go up against something crazy. As much as the Salamander enjoyed the crazy jobs and the fighting, it was nice to just have something simple and then collect a reward for it. Plus the travel had not been too terrible — They had found a clearing to rest for a bit once it started to get a bit darker. Natsu, motivated by the hunger of not eating in over an hour, was able to sniff out a small river that they could fish from.

There was a fire going and a handful of fish cooking over it in almost record time. The things that you could get done when you had a hungry, food motivated Dragon Slayer.

Natsu had set himself close to the fire to wait for the fish to cook. Occasionally turning the skewers over to make sure that they were cooked thoroughly. Familiar with the sound of Lucy moving around their little camp to keep himself from glancing over at the slightest noise. And, honestly, far too focused on an upcoming meal to fully pay attention to whatever Lucy was doing.

It was the feeling of a soft weight against pink strands that roused him. Snapping him back into focus. "What the-" A hand came up to brush the flowers as eyes turned upward before he glanced back down at the blonde. "This is what you've been doing all this time?" He wasn't taking it off, at least.

" You know, Master Diluc , if Komaniya Express didn't excel at their amazing delivery status, I'm almost afraid I would have had to hire you, as well, to be an employee here at the funeral parlor to compensate for all the times my dear consultant tends to wander off whenever in your presence. Lucky for you, hm?"

@givenfate + swindling the wine man

it's an interesting propositions she postures toward him; and what a fine declaration of intent to employ. if only his plate wasn't already overflowing with responsibilities he must fulfill already— diluc may truly have considered it after some extensive research.

' unfortunately, directer hu, i'm not nearly as well versed in the rites and traditions that are necessary to perform during any given funeral within liyue— be it adeptus or not, and i am.. not entirely sure it would be appropriate for me to be involved, as i am a man hailing from mondstadt, and not your own wonderful home. while it flatters me that you would consider me in the way of assisting you here, i'm afraid i must respectfully decline. '

it's an amusing thought that whenever diluc happened to step foot in liyue during his occasional visits, his beloved consultant would become distracted and more often than not, abandon whatever menial chores he was assigned. the unfortunate consequence being that diluc would have to hear about it later, of course.

' and while i can't say i'll be able to assist you upon my every visit... i do wonder about what would happen to mr. zhongli's work ethic for daily tasks if i did. perhaps we should test this theory at some point, hmm? '

WENDY'S   CHOICE   IN   LEAVING.

after the war against alvarez, wendy had witnessed and experienced a ton of loss and grief.   wendy almost lost carla,   chelia gave up her magic   (   a   huge   part   of   her   identity   )   ,   she lost her leg,   her body got taken over and her guts almost ripped out gaining even more scars,   she witnessed erza's mothers death,   the first guild master dies   (   again   )   ,   she helps fight and win against her biggest fear;   acnologia,   all for the sake of the guild.   wendy witnessed a lot of people die and even though she was able to save some with her healing magic.   wendy learned that all she knew how to do was how to heal,   and her healing magic couldn't fix everything.

after her surgery that saved her life,   wendy had to learn how to take care of herself again.   she couldn't even remember how to walk on her own.   let alone how to fight and be a mage.   the war torn her entire world around.   she was lost,   but the only thing that couldn't be taken from her is her healing magic.   she spent a lot of time with edolas grandine,   otherwise known as porlyusica while she was learning how to walk.   and they talked a lot during those times.   one of the conversations was where grandine learned medicine.   and little did she know that this conversation was one to change her life in a more positive way.

wendy learned that doctors goes to school to learn about medicine,   and when she asked how gradine learnt,   she told her all about the school she went to and how it was in a different country.   wendy now determined more than she has ever been before,   wanted to learn how to save lives without the use of her magic   (   she   knows   more   than   almost   everyone   how   easly   magic   abilities   can   be   erased   )   normally there was a lot more schooling involved before you get to that point,   but porlyusica was able to help wendy get into the school.

there was one thing keeping her back,   fairy tail.   .   .   she felt as if she was abandoning them after everything that they did for her.   wendy almost didn't go.   but it was the help of lucy   (   @givenfate   )   ,  who told her she could and that fairy tail was always a home for her to return to.   a year after the war,   wendy learnt to walk again and for the first time since the war she had hope for the future,   a future where no one she cares for will die on her again.

💕 lucy & natsu for giggles. I wanna see what the results say

Love Calculator 71% Dr. Love thinks that a relationship between Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia has a reasonable chance of working out, but on the other hand, it might not. Your relationship may suffer good and bad times. If things might not be working out as you would like them to, do not hesitate to talk about it with the person involved. Spend time together, talk with each other.

he'd spent the last several days with looking into how to collect a certain thing from a yokai, in their territory since he was one of the few who could get there and not be hunted for sport. something his foresight told him that she was going to request soon and he wanted to give her the chance to relax for once. he also made sure events would coincide where it wouldn't knock situations off trajectory. he was, after all, the best.

he sets down the box on the wooden deck to the shop and reveals to the witch the contents. a fishbowl- sealed at the top with a reinforced cork top- with a red cord securing it. at first glance, it would appear empty but it was in fact, filled to the brim with something crystal clear.

Your Result:

redemption arc your story had a pretty rough start and you did some things you're not proud of, but you made the choice to change. i won't go through how important it is to accept responsibility and keep striving to improve or whatever because you know that already. what i think you should know is that your fuel does not need to be shame. you don’t need to stand over the bathroom sink with your blood in your hands until you can no longer make out your reflection. you will look at your face and you will see the person you used to be, but that person no longer exists. today, you are looking, and that makes all the difference.

@givenfate said ... i'm a man of many talents. what can i say? / open.

the light of kshahrewar indeed. it is a welcome sight, to see kaveh beaming with confidence where too often his features hint at troublesome times. within the confined halls of the akademiya, it can be all too easy to forget that life is not merely a struggle from exam to exam – but he's not so far removed from those days either. layla tries to keep up with his pace, but his legs come up to the height of her waist, which strikes her today as particularly unfair, and she ends up trailing just behind him – asking kaveh to slow his pace would feel akin to yanking on the leash of a particularly excited puppy. unconscionable, simply put.

" you're in remarkably high spirits today, did your project application get approved? " a sensitive topic to bridge, normally. one that would be cause for celebration, if not for the fact that the preparation to submit an application typically pales in comparison to the scale of work required to complete the actual project ... seems there's no respite to be found even in success – layla sighs at the thought. " whatever it is, i'd love to hear about it. " some good news might just lift her spirits as well, which is desperately needed at this time of year as exam season looms overhead.
