I really love this critical analysis of the anime/manga, and I love that you highlighted all of the important details of this story!!!!

I also HIGHLY reccomend watching My Dress Up Darling <3

“My Dress Up Darling” is one of the best examples of how perspective is important to character development and the story. Because if you think about it, MDUD is a love story between two protagonists. Both Marin and Gojo fulfill the role of the “average” MC and the person who is out of the MC’s league. It’s like this:

From Gojo’s POV, he’s the social outcast loser who fell hard for the gorgeous, popular, cool girl at school. He can’t fathom why this super cool girl wants to hang out with him, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep their friendship going. Even though he’s crushing hard on her, he thinks he doesn’t have a chance with her, thus his focus is just to maintain their friendship.

From Marin’s POV, she’s the weird, lovable nerd who is a klutz and constantly embarrasses herself. She then falls hard for this sensitive, handsome artist who takes care of her needs (like cooking her delicious, healthy meals). The artist also agrees to make her dreams come true - cosplaying - by designing clothes for her FOR FREE, which makes her fall even harder for the artist.

This is also why I believe the story really gets going after the Shizuka arc. Once you start seeing the story more from Marin’s POV, Marin starts coming off as more of the “average” person while Gojo becomes more of the dreamboat. It’s fascinating because both perspectives work. Marin IS super cool and a klutz. Gojo IS a social outcast and a handsome, sensitive artist. It makes for a fun dynamic, especially when the story switches POVs.

Also, this helps flesh the characters out. I feel like MDUD would not be anywhere near as successful if it didn’t do the switches to Marin’s POV. If the story didn’t, then Marin would just be another manic pixie dream girl there for Gojo’s development, which would be lame. Ironically, Marin’s character becomes more lovable and interesting when the story starts letting her be more flawed, accident-prone and flustered.

Gojo’s character also becomes more lovable because making him the out-of-their-league person from Marin’s perspective feels like a natural progression. I mean…he’s a handsome artist who is an amazing cook, designs 5-star level cosplays for free, and is a subconscious smooth talker (the “beautiful” line). In any other story, he’d be the object of affection.

Anyways, I recommend My Dress Up Darling.

Biblically Accurate Erza Scarlett Backstory

Erza's backstory is bone-chilling, but what's more heartbreaking is that it technically can't really be counted as "fiction" when you think about it.

As THOUSANDS of children around the world are forced into child labor/slavery YEARLY. Her backstory is one that can be parallel through the lives of real human beings on this planet.

Wendy & Gray "The Wild Fairytails of the West" AU Designs ‼️🐎🏜

Wendy 💨

Team Natsu's designated medic!! She's knowledgeable in plants, herbs, indigenous healing practices, and is also a fast runner.

Born in the Noethwest (near Washington) Wendy is from a small tribe in the town of "Caitshelter".

Both Natsu & Gajeel have taken it upon themselves to teach her how to be a proper gun slinger, while Erza teaches Wendy everything about being warrior.

On trips or jobs, Wendy doesn't participate in any of the dangerous or lethal fighting but she does help when it comes to stealing things or creating a distraction.

Her age follows the canon story, as well as her development in skill. Overtime, Wendy had become more skilled in fighting and healing.

Gray❄️

Team Natsu's (and the Fairytails gang) best shotgun & rifle user. Gray's skills have earned him the nickname "The Ice Man", as in the West he's known for leaving his enemies "dead & cold" on the ground.

Canon smoker, even though both Cana & Erza have told him to quit many times.

He is good friends with Lyon and Ultear!! All of them grew up somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains in a small town with Ur. (yes they have accents too lol)

Gray had a small bromance with Loke a while back, but die to Loke's womanizer behavior they decided to "drop it" 💔

He did initially have a crush on Lucy when they first met, but once he overheard Lucy's distasteful comments about smokers & cigars...Gray decided it wasn't meant to be lmao.

Decided to get the Fairytails gang symbol tattooed on his chest, which Mirajane and Levy thought was hilarious.

Oh this is so peak

he is not so secretly enjoying this
