Im CACKLING

Fairy tail headcannon a nobody wanted at all😊

- most of the dragon slayers+erza eat bugs regularly and it's gross AF to everyone

-Natsu because he grew up in the woods and they were like the number one abundant source of food, same for Wendy but she stopped for a while because Carla told her it was nasty (as soon as she joined the fairy tail guild she reverted so incredibly fast)

-gajeel pretends to thinks it's gross but secretly he really likes the taste he just doesn't wanna have that in common with natsu

- erza and Erik because in the evil slave tower where everyone was starving if you found a bug you ate it before anyone else could grab it from you.

- sting did not do that growing up but started when natsu told him it was good, he does not agree but does it anyway so natsu thinks he's cool

- rogue only tried it a couple times because frosch wanted to try it to be more like a frog and rogue is nothing if not supportive

- laxus grew up normal and thinks all of them are disgusting

- Lucy has the WORST financial skills. Legit they are awful. Everyone thinks she's always broke cuz of the tpd (team property damage) constantly making them lose their reward to repair bills but (while that is a factor) when Lucy sees smth cute that would look great in her apartment she just cannot help herself. Lucy will be so careful trying to save her money then she'll see a new set of stationary and goes "haha rent what rent"

- the hand me down game at fairy tail was fucking insane when they where kids. For levy and lisanna basically everything they owned had been passed down like 6 times already

- that red shirt natsu wore in the flashbacks? Before him it was erza's, and before her it was canas, and before her it was laxus.

- gray wears almost exclusively white jackets because jackets are expensive and if he loses them he would rather they be easy to spot so he can find them again rather then have to buy a new one

- sometimes people will invite erza places for the scary dog privilege when they dont want to be bothered by strangers. Erza has no idea thats the reason she just thought people really liked walking with her through rough parts of town in the middle of the night.

- Carla and lilly have insane beef, for no damn reason. Like both of them are fairly polite so neither will say it openly but every conversation between the two is the most passive aggressive petty insult battle you could imagine

- freed, levy, Lucy and later jellal have a book club where they all meet up and talk about whatever they're reading and play Scrabble and talk a lot of shit about their annoying ass friends.

- happy sometimes comes but he is under no circumstances allowed to bring natsu(he knows what he did)

- when erza met seigrain/jellal in the magic counsel she first tried to attack him, when that proved to be a bad idea she later started specifically destroying stuff under his jurisdiction to make sure he had to deal with as much paperwork as possible

- for her modelling, Mira used to use a very light spray of holy water to remove body hair because it burns it off💀

- wendy romeo and chelia are actually best friends like they are constantly hanging out together just to go do stuff

- erza and Erik hate each other for no reason at all. Like over that year that she worked with crime sorciere they where ALWAYS BEEFING. Every time they were near each other erza was thinking insults she knew he could hear and Erik was fighting for his life not to strangle her to death.

When erza became sclass she used to sit on the 5th step of the stairs because Mira wasn't allowed on those stairs yet and it really pissed her off. She was like, just barely out of reach, so Mira would stand at the bottom the stairs yelling death threats at her and erza would be like "whattt I'm not doing anything I don't even know what your talking about in literally just sitting what are you so mad about"

- when Warren invented cellphones, despite all of them looking like modern smartphones, freed somehow managed to get one that looked exactly like a Blackberry and refuses to get a different one

- Mira used to cut her siblings hair and because she didn't know any good haircuts yet her 2 options where 1- bald or 2- bowl cut. Hence lisannas horrifying cut as a child

IM WHEEZING

You know that episode erza was trying to fight the pillar cuz of juvias insane potion drugging everyone and she said "I need to go further inside but it's in my way and I know it secretly mocks me when I have to take time to go around it"?

In my head that is real. like she does actually have beef with that pillar because before the Guildhall was destroyed she'd been taking a set route through the guild to get the the board since she was 11 and then they rebuilt it to have this fucking pillar in the way and the disruption to her routine drives her insane. She just never said anything about it till she was drugged

[rain-day-today]

Little crack thingy of mine is Natsu has like really cool shit in his part of the woods. Hes a dragon hes gonna be a hoarder

Like he lives in a little secluded part of magnolia a nice way out of town (also my headcanon) and with this unlimited space he can do well anything.

He just randomly has a small garden of some of the most poisonous plants ever because “ some nice lady gave’em to me on a job!”. A couple strawberry plants are thrown in because Erza bribery.

Theres a little shed somewhere (probably by the river) filled with fishing gear he and Happy have collected over the years. I swear to god Happy has a mini tire swing over that river.

Somewhere around the back theres a second even smaller house except this one is just a junk graveyard. Like no rooms just boxes on boxes of stuff. If you need to find some kind of old retro thingy just dive right in, its gonna be there.

In his actual house, other than the wall of fame he has baskets filled with keepsakes, little shiny nicknacks, and “good luck charms”. If disposable cameras were a thing he probably has a basket of those lying around somewhere.

Most of the time it doesn’t create any issues cause no one goes out there, but one day he has to extend/clean his house or something and the guild is helping out (cause its like BAD) and they end up uncovering like dozens of boxes filled with straight up gold bars and expensive trinkets that he forgot he was using as his “savings”.

Lucy is about to actually strangle him because what do you mean shes been paying for all that food he inhales out of pocket when he’s literally been sitting on a pile of money?!?

[rain-day-today]

things we know about Lucy:

-> comes from a rich family (never had to think about money)

-> is always short on rent (bad at managing her money? stuff like food and electricity etc alone is probably already way more expensive than she'd expected)

-> Lucy enjoys buying new stuff for herself (SHE DESERVES A LITTLE TREAT !!!!)

things we know about natsu:

-> he takes jobs not for the money but just for funsies

-> to be more specific he likes taking difficult jobs (a challenge) that are far away (so he can look for igneel) - which probably offer more money than your average

-> he doesn't care much for material things (or money in general?)

-> his number one goal in life at all times is to ensure that Lucy is happy <3

Conclusion:

he keeps buying her random shit :)

Nalu week day 3: Longing

@allaboutnalu

The guild hall was eerily quiet, most guild members were out on jobs or various other side quests. There were of course a couple of familiar faces still roaming around, one of which belonged to Lucy Heartfilia.

The stylish girl was in her normal seat at the bar however she was without her normal companion. Most likely due to her new partners, a cast and a set of crutches. She paid neither mind at the moment; instead she leaned over a notepad with a pen in hand, furiously jotting down notes and squinting at what seemed to be an essay from an envelope. The sight intrigued a couple of nosy souls but none more than a certain white haired barmaid.

The fic is going a little out of hand (not that i mind)

[rain-day-today]

Nalu week day 2: firsts!

(Im going to be posting late this entire week aren’t I🙂‍↕️)

@allaboutnalu

“ I know” He sighed sadly, after swimming to the ledge by her feet. “I really messed up, ” He hit her with his best puppy dog eyes, trying to get at least a little forgiveness. Lucy knew this was a ploy to get her to stop being huffy, and normally the puppy dog eyes wouldn’t work on her. But…right now he looked so pitiful, with water dripping around his face as he looked up at her like a sickly Victorian child begging for some bread. She snickered again but dammit, she just couldn’t resist his boyish charms.

[rain-day-today]

Dont you hate it when you’re trying to be a little vague about a ship and the character magically write themselves confessing. So annoying 🙄

[rain-day-today]

For nalu week day 1: cuddling (i posted yesterday but forgot to post here oops)

@allaboutnalu

“Sunlight streamed through the now open window onto the rose patterned pillows. Each beam Bouncing on golden strands and pink locks, leaving a slight refraction of color on the two sleeping faces.”

[rain-day-today]

Found this in my drafts

TIME LOOP/HALF DREAM?

I think it would be funny if an enemy had magic that created “dreams” that kept the most important moment in someones life from occurring. They used it on natsu and lucy and their sent back the day they first met with no memory but things go a bit differently because the world itself if trying to keep them from meeting. Funnily enough they do meet because of fate or pure stubbornness and the world restarts, it’s now a time loop. They go through this like a million times and they just keep on meeting cause of just random things. Atp the rest of the guild is getting worried cause the fights over and they all broke out of their individual “dreams”(which are really nightmares because like trauma was really important to their character) a while ago. Eventually juvia and gray volunteer to go in. They figure it put and they their hardest to keep natsu and lucy from meeting. It finally works but then the “dream” keeps going and they find out that the future where natsu and lucy dont meeting is terrifying and horrible and full of death. The world collapses and natsu and lucy wake up confused, juvia and gray wake up horrified.

This is everything a dragon slayer deep dive should be. I love and agree with every single word.

The dragon slayers are my favorite sub-group in fairy tail because of just how much they embody the message even when “evil”. Their personalities and character arcs are some of my favorite because of their vastly different outlooks but their core ideals. I think it’s just neat that all of them ended up happy and familyish!

Im not seeing enough fairy tail and KNOW that shit is in your neck of the woods

Oh fuck don't make me start Fairy Tail posting, it will turn into a problem. Fairy Tail is up there with MCD in terms of "Imperfect but occasionally very good piece of media that changed my brain chemistry", I will go absolutely insane about it.

So like... If you want me to talk about Fairy Tail, I gladly will, I just need direction. Tell me who you want me to go insane about and I will go. Insane.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO INSANE ABOUT NATSU OR WENDY OR ANY DRAGON SLAYER PLEASE I NEED IT

This is so so dumb but here me out

Natsu and gray entering a costume contest together

Everyone thinks that they did it because of Erza or something , and that their entry gonna be some half baked random apart duo.

Then…BAM!

They walk in

Full on crossdressed (and crossdressed well might I add) . like Cancer magic long hair, fake boobs (the things are actually real they just pushed up their man titties), the whole shabang and then some

as Starfire and Blackfire

ITS PERFECT

Natsu & Starfire =pink hair + green eyes + FIRE + childish feisty personality

Gray & Blackfire = black hair + dark (violet/black?) eyes + siblings rivalry + sarcastic personality

Everyone would be STUNNED JAWS TO THE FLOOR

[rain-day-today]

👀 natsu headcanons?

Ask and ye shall receive

Surprisingly, has a lotta clothes. Everyone gets sick of him wearing the same 2 outfits so they've at one point or another gifted him with new clothes in hopes of gettin him to expand his choices. So now he has a huge closet and still wears the same 2 outfits :]

Guy who's always in trees. He cannot be stopped from climbing trees. Hes the only person in Magnolia who has permission to climb the Rainbow Sakura because no matter how hard they tried they couldn't stop him.

High emotional intelligence! Can tell when someone's mood shifts in an instant but absolutely garbage at saying or doing the right thing in a given moment. Its a coin toss on whether he'll say somethin that comes across way too blunt or just sorta, stare blankly for way too long while tryna figure out wtf he's supposed to do.

Pretty good with animals. Not in a 'all animals naturally love him' sorta way but he's good at reading their body language and cues to tell him how to deal with em. This also incidentally, makes him a really great hunter.

Likes to doodle when he's super bored which would be fine if he was using something instead of using his fingers and directly searing his doodles onto people's tabletops and walls.

When he's travelling he's always got a million knapsacks and satchels and bags. These are not for carrying supplies, they're for carryin cool stuff he might come across on his missions.

If a client pisses him off he might steal somethin from them. No scratch that, he's gonna.

One of those freaks who's naturally a morning person. He's up with energy the instant the sun is up and ready to go. Horrifying really.

Natsu no matter what he's eating-

Abandonment issues because having your only parental figure disappear without a trace in your childhood just sorta does that to a person me thinks👍

[rain-day-today]

Give Happy a Gun

Look I have maintained for a long time that Happy should carry around a gun, magical or non-magical I don't care. He has his little backpack, if he can fit a fish or two he can fit a glock in there.

From the earlier days it would be helpful because a lot of their opponents just ignore him so why not make use of that. I mean like during Phantom Lord Arc, Natsu and Totomaru are doing their little fire dance and Totomaru is not really paying attention to Happy. He could have shot the lacrima and had a great laugh over Totomaru's inevitable shock. Or he could have shot Totomaru which might have given Natsu an opening if he knew a bullet wouldn't break it.

After the year apart though he's now the Fairy Tail exceed with the lowest combat capability. Pantherlily has always had his battle form and Carla's humanoid form allows her to do more actual fighting. Exceeds had great support capability but now that the other two have more combat ability a gun would allow Happy to also get in on the action. I mean Happy's lack of combat form or regular transformation make sense logically and for his character but that's a whole nother post.

You also can't tell me it wouldn't be something he'd be at least slightly interested in because

Helping Natsu

Being able to hold his own better

Probably think it would impress Carla or something

Terrorizing People (especially Lucy) because Gremlin-ness

I could see him getting bored from trying to learn and ultimately not using it. But yeah GIVE HAPPY A GLOCK

[rain-day-today]

A few more baby fairytail headcanons because their the found family that haunts me in my dreams🫶🏽 these are a little more natsu and gray centric cause those are my favs

Gray and Natsu did not have a place to live until they were in the guild for like a year . There were too many parentless orphans running around and not enough people to keep track of them, so It was couch surfing hot potato like nobody’s business.

Natsu’s stuff was scattered to the high heavens. You would find his sandals in Laxus’s room, bag in the Strauss Siblings place,any clothes were scattered between Erza, Cana and Levy. Really its a miracle he had clothes at all considering the fact he also refused to wear a shirt his first month( “you don’t needs shirts in the forest snd their itchhhyyy” ) . Gray was a bit better and just had a card board box that he took to people’s house when he decided (without the person’s permission) to crash there for the next week. Ironically,The two would always end up trying to crash with the same person on the same night. Natsu would be climbing into the room through the window right when Gray was breaking in by picking the lock.

Speaking of which, Everyone but erza can pick locks. Lissana is the fastest followed by Cana and then Natsu. Mira just broke the door down.

Whenever they were smaller and Erza went on a job with Levy they had an unspoken understanding to only speak like they were from medieval times. There were alot of questions afterward and more lost in translation.

Little Cana would cut and dye everyone’s hair. She Once dyed natsu’s hair black, mistaking the hair dye as extra shampoo-y shampoo

That was the worst week of Natsu and Grays life. Whenever they were out in public together they got mistaken for brothers.

”WHAT DO YOU MEAN BROTHERS?! HES A BROODING EMO STRIPPER! WE DON’T LOOK ANYTHING CLOSE TO RELATED. ”

*cana and laxus dying of laughter*

*maco and wakaba choking*

“BROTHERS?! BROTHERS?!?? ARE YOU BLIND HIS FACE IS FREAKY! FREAKY ! AND LOOKS COMPLETELY STUPID, HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT ME AND THAT THING SHARED ANYTHING?!?!”

natsu and gray couldn’t look at each other that entire week.

EmoTeen!Gray discovered the girls taste in books after being locked in the library closet during “book club”

Natsu knows exactly what Erza and Levy read. super hearing y’know? He wont admit to it but he knows not to be in the guild whenever those high pitched giggle start.

Laxus gets severely motion sick. He used to deal with it by using those stupid looking motion sickness glasses every time he got on a train. Now he just sells his soul to the devil (mira) for a bottle of magic elixir ( straight vodka) that lets him pass tf out.

Erza lost an Erza look alike contest once

Mira lost a Mira look alike contest

Lissana won both of them back to back

Natsu has a collection of hand me downs that he refuses to wear or get rid of. Most of them are Erzas old armors or things gray stripped and forgot about, but he has a little of everyone. His favorite one is Laxus’s old big coat.

Elfman does a little quote of the day thing in the guildhall

Elfman once got all the fairytail kids including s-class Laxus, Erza, and Mira to Jump Guildarts. No one knows the outcome because at some point all the smaller kids got knocked out with only Erza,Mira and Laxus left awake and they wont tell who won.

When they were younger there was a cute skate park the girls would visit often, thats why they can do all the cool skate board tricks.

Levy bought a motorcycle after getting the money from her first “big” job

Natsu once put a tin full of mentos in multiple buckets of coke in the guild hall infirmary

One time gramps was feeling really down and kids did a little play to cheer him up. They did sleeping beauty with Levy as Sleeping Beauty, Cana as the prince, Mira was maleficent, and Laxus as the prince’s horse. Gray, Natsu, and Elfman were obviously the fairies. Erza wasn’t in the guild at the moment much to her dismay. The play genuinely went incredibly well except instead of waking the princess up with a kiss, Cana head butted Levy so hard it caused Levy to pass out.

Little Valentines Day scenario

(No i do not care that its may)

The first year they were all together, Natsu and Gray got in trouble with Erza the day before valentine’s day. Them hearing everyone gush about wanting someone to give them something, decided that the best way to apologize (save themselves) would be to give her a bunch of valentines day candy and presents. They gave them to her at the guild with cute cards and she was so so happy she started to tear up. This marks Erza as the first person among them all to get a Valentine present.

The others were silently seething, which turned into alot of teasing “ Aww looks like Grays got a crushhh,” “ Look at natsu being all gentlemen like , Erza must be a special special girl,” Erza promptly beat them all up for it, and Gray and Natsu were successfully in their mission to save themselves!

They did feel kinda bad afterwards seeing the others look longingly at Erza quite large pile. Natsu sneakily went out and bought some more chocolates to hand cheer everyone up, gray joined in because “No way am I letting flame brain be liked more then me!” They obviously fought, which melted the chocolates. No fear however! Natsu tempered the chocolates to perfection and gray used his magic to make fun molds.

The next day they handed them out and now its a tradition. On Valentine’s day you get candy from the boy of your dreams, the next day Natsu and Gray give you a creepily detailed mini you made out of chocolate.

[rain-day-today]

One thing that really rots my brain is the idea of the guild during the og baby fairytail members time and the domesticity of it. Cause like no way was gramps letting a bunch of super powered ( and incredibly destructive) 7-14year olds out of his sight.

Just imagine:

Little Natsu and emo teen Laxus having breakfast while very quietly whispering about their respective hoards collections of cat theme things ( I KNOW LAXUS IS A SECRET CAT LOVER I JUST KNOW IT)

Tiny Gray having an emo phase. Mira (a punk 14 year old) helping him out (after teasing him of course). The two spending many hours and lots of jewel to find and look through dozens of fashion magazines. Eventually falling asleep sprawled on the floor in a nest of semi-laminated paper.

Tween Lissana and levy giggling over the kissy scenes in books and Erza overhearing them. Spitting out her cake into Laxus’s face which makes them burst out into full on cackling.

Little Cana teaching natsu to make card pyramids for 3 hours and when he finally gets it, Elfman knocks it over. Every one thinks Natsu is going to punch someone, but he doesn’t, instead he starts full on bawling. Nobody knows what to do. Little Natsu cannot be comforted. Levy shuts him up by shoving candy into his mouth while cana really quickly rebuilds the pyramid.

Erza and Mira having a dance off on some of the tables ( mira breaks 3 of them in half with her stomping, Erza somehow stabs one). This is how everyone finds out to never take either of them to parties cause they dance like the deaf baby of giraffes and a buffalo.

Gray and climbing a tree to the very top and forgetting that he doesn’t know how to get down? He stays there till the next morning and seethes for the next week cause LISSANA had to carry him down.

Natsu following Gray around like a lost puppy his first week cause “he’s friend sized” and what else was he supposed to do? He knows nothing! Dudes not even from this time period. At least if he follows loud stripper he knows he wont get run over by a car. Gray not noticing or caring that he is being followed cause little guy has his own problems to deal with and “as long as he doesn’t take my food or breath on me.”

Cana having a plague doctor mask that elfman bought for her 13th birthday. She wears it to scare the shit out of everyone at the sleepovers.

Weekly “sleepovers” in the guildhall because it’s easier to do gramps weekly count of them when they are all lined up in their my little pony sleeping bags (yes this includes laxus and mira)

When Romeo is born they have a guild wide contest on whose name he says first (the answer is his own cause the little dude is a true fairytail wizard)

Levy managing to give everyone a heart attack after casually admitting that she hasn’t slept or ate anything but crackers and coffee cause she was trying to teach herself the equivalent of ancient greek.

Laxus and gray not knowing how to hold a baby (romeo)

Natsu “teething” on Erza. Everyone stares in shock cause there’s just Erza sitting there stone faced in full armor while Natsu chops down on her arm like he has rabies. ( he still bites her even when they’re older if he’s really stressed)

Everyone having a default crush on laxus or Mira

The guild kids try to make homemade shaved ice with grays ice and end up covering the entire town with really weird ice sculptures

Mira scaring the shit out of kids with her demon souls during Halloween

Someone stealing Mira or Natsu’s food and ending up with a burn on their tounge followed by natsu trying to “kiss it better”

Levy dozing off on the rafters and falling down onto poor elfman

Spin the bottle but instead of kissing you fight (grays idea)

Laxus has a spray bottle filled with water mixed with really bad smelling cologne that he uses to spray people when they’re bad, like cats.

No one in the guild knew how to swim until they turned 16 Lissana still can’t swim.

Its really really common to see elfman or gray duck-taped to the wall (its levy who does it)

Dont fall asleep around teen Mira she will draw titties on your face. (Where do you think natsu got it from?)

They all took a living 101 class when lissana was 13. It failed miserably. Laxus ended up being the grandfather to 6 rats and 3 hamsters

Laxus takes Lissana and Elfman out for brunch once a month because it pisses mira off to no end.

Levy, Lissana, and Laxus accidentally forming an L name club and plan their “meetings” within earshot of Mira and Erza to make them jealous.

“We should get cookies!”-levy

“And ice cream!”- lissana

“(Super smug face) im craving strawberry cake.”-laxus

*sounds of Erza bursting into flames of jealousy*

I think this has a lot of potential when it comes to adding to the story in fandom ways ! Since it’s a gossip magazine, there can be so many not quite aligning ships( platonic and romantic), stories, and characterizations. It would be so much fun for the fandom!

Favorite characters in “ads”, fashion spreads, topics of gossip columns along with “news stories”. Just so much play room!

CALLING ALL FAIRY TAIL FANS: community zine idea

A zine in the style of a Sorcerer Weekly magazine, filled with different articles, photoshoots drawn by artists, and people to edit it all together.

Reblogs appreciated I want to hear feedback on this idea, if successful I’ll organise a discord and an application form!

Other questions like characters, theme, and whether it should have a physical version you can buy will come one the results for this are in

(Shipping discussion below)

Ships would need to be decided on by the creators involved. As this is a gossip magazine there could be multiple articles about couples with overlapping characters.

As much as I’d prefer that to be kept to a minimum, I know it would make for a fun read.

I’d assume the majority would be the classics of nalu, gruvia and gale. But it would be fun to see classic Nalu vs Nali article, or Gruvia vs Lyvia.
