The real reason Gray and Natsu didn’t get along is because Gray has mommy issues (Ur’s death) and Natsu has daddy issues (Igneel’s disappearance).

Lucy has both mommy and daddy issues and Erza was an orphan, so the team stayed balanced.

Erza discovering she actually has major mommy issues (Irene) is what really killed Natsu, because it ruined the balance. Lucy’s keeping him alive through the power of her own daddy issues, which happen to be strong enough to sustain him.

FT Ice siblings Headcanons

ultear is back to normal in this bc i make the rules

None of them are touchy feely types, but man would they die for eachother

Gray and Ultear get ‘mistaken’ as siblings constantly, and Lyon is absolutely not jealous of it, he swears!

They are both pretty protective of Gray for obvs reasons (little brother and he was technically both their turning points)

even more so after his death to the dragons

also stemming from their guilt

the reasons dont matter, but they would give him the world if he asked

subtly tho

Lyon Vastia, also known as the ‘Resident Drama Queen’

but theyre all dramatic

Lyon is just naturally extra

Ultear is allergic to cats

it was devastating to find out

Lyon and Ultear grew close during the 7 years Fairy Tail was missing, it made them gravitate towards eachother

they mourned Gray together (even though neither could fully accept he was most likely dead), spoke about their guilt (Ultear told Lyon about what she did on Tenrou, and her involvement in Galuna) and got to know one another

When Lyon found out Fairy Tail was back he dropped everything and booked the next train to magnolia

He tried to get in contact with her on the way there, but communication was always tricky with her job

After Ultear was like, reinstated (or whatever the word is) she dragged them both to a bunch random events and restaurants and just a lot of places

Gray pulls the ‘poor sweet little brother’ and ‘and here I thought you were a good older [brother/sister]’ card on them at every denial they give him

it works every time

Gray lets Ultear, Jellal, and Meredy crash/hide at his place if they want, it allowed him to get to know them, and for them to have a safe haven

Gray told Erza after a couple months of this going on and she started suspiciously visiting Grays house more often

They have a groupchat, Gray’ll bother the fuck out of them in the middle of the night bc hes bored and his sleeping schedule is shit

or he’ll send incriminating and alarming photos/messages and drop off the face of the earth for awhile

Lyon pretends its annoying and says as much but it finds it comforting to wake up with texts every morning

although, 47 separate messages from one person about the chronicles of a stray cat is a little excessive

Ultear indulges him since Crime Sorciere does most of their traveling at night

Lyon and Gray have a running bet on if she sleeps

they have a standing bimonthly meeting, sometimes they’ll meet before that but it there is always a fixed plan just incase

Just My Thoughts Pt. 14

Fairy Tail Manga Reread Version

How ironic Mr. Fullbuster. Gray saying this is so funny to me because he’s so willing to put his life on the line to settle things. He’s not thinking of the future, yet he’s giving a lecture about to the enemy. This is actually more ironic when considering the next arc of the story is related to the S-class mission in Galuna Island. The very island Gray attempts to use Ice Shell a few times, a spell that uses the life of the caster to make powerful ice. A spell he knows very well from first hand experience with his beloved master Ur.

I think having Gray deliver this line is perfect because he does value life, just not his own, especially when it comes to settling difficult disputes. He values the life of Ur, who Gray is constantly thinking about since she taught him everything he knows. He values her life so much he’s willing to give his up to prevent the demon from the book of Zeref escape again however, she’s long gone but he’s stuck in the past. He’s not thinking of the future, not even a little.

I think this line and the next arc combined provide information about who Gray is. This is important down the road since he starts to see what living is worth. I’m glad that in the 100 YQ, Gray is shown thinking of the future and what he wants more often. In this original manga, he’s usually depicted thinking of the past, especially of Ur and how’s he’s the reason she’s gone. I’m glad he found some resolve down the line for his past and future.

May I please have Fairy tail headcanons of what Gray's childhood was like with his parents long before Deliora attacked and after Deliora attacked..(Gray's life with Ur and Lyon to put it simply afterwards). I can highly imagine that poor Gray had nightmares for a while about Deliora killing his parents when that happened and had sleepless nights.

You have some good angsty requests!

Before

Gray was actually a really happy kid. Always smiling and just being goofy

Mika used to sing Gray to sleep at night (she had a very soothing voice in general)

Silver would carry Gray around on his shoulders through their town and show him all around

The Fullbuster's were well known in the town. The family was known for being very helpful

Mika worked at a hospital and would bring Gray along to play with her patients children and keep the elderly patients company. Gray was very popular there and loved cheering up bedridden patients

Silver was a blacksmith and Gray idolized him. He always wanted to go to work with his dad and learn how to make cool swords and stuff. Silver always said it was too dangerous but would bring Gray home little trinkets made from leftover scrap metal

It was really important to Gray's parents that they spent a lot of time together. They'd take him to festivals, picnics, sledding, ice skating, anything and everything they could possibly do as a family. Gray was never alone

After

Gray was super quiet when he joined Ur and Lyon. He kept them at an arms length (physically and emotionally)

Ur was determined to get close to him and took time to speak to him privately for at least a couple minutes a day. She made sure to respect his boundaries tho so when he asked her to leave him alone she would

Lyon would try and drag Gray to things because they were gonna be brothers now (Lyon's idea) but Gray would get angry and end it in a physical fight most times. He didn't want a brother. He didn't want a new family

Ur developed a habit of going to bed way later than the boys just so she could watch after Gray. He'd toss and turn, sometimes crying out as nightmares consumed him.

At first, he'd wake up and storm out of the cabin without a word. Gray would go to the woods and cry. Praying for his family back

But after sometime, Ur learned that if she placed Gray's head (still asleep) in her lap and hum softly to him, he'd settle down and sleep through the night. It helped calm her down as well

If Gray knew she was doing it, he never mentioned it. They just went about their morning as usual

Gray didn't talk very much, but he was always watching. He knew more about Lyon and Ur then he let on. Gray didn't want to get close to them but he couldn't help but want to. He was always fighting himself mentally over it

Sandy Milkovich is so underrated I love her so much you don’t understand

[astrastarcharm]

Random Lamia headcanons

So these are things I made up about the Lamia squad if anyone ever decides to use any of these for a fic just let me know so I can read it 😋.

Yuka has an ugly burn scar on his back from when a building fell on him during Deliora’s attack but he never lets anyone see it. Only ones that have seen it are Lyon, Toby, Sherry, Jura and Obaba

That Lyon’s team had to do a ton of odd jobs both legal and illegal up northeast to get enough money to get a boat big enough to transport Deliora.

Lyon has a lot of people that resent him from up north because he used to hunt down every enemy that Ur has ever fought and was a little asshole about it and has even had some that had tried to attack him out of revenge down in fiore only to be beaten easily. (He keeps this a secret from Gray)

When Toby Yuka and Sherry arrived at Lamia Scale only Yuka spoke there language so he had to be a translator for the other two. Jura tried to learn it but Yuka being a little sh*t would teach him the wrong words and make Sherry and Toby laugh at him constantly. When around a year later when Jura had found out that Fairy tail had someone that understood Isvan he had requested Makarov asked the boy to send a list of common words for Jura to use. (Years later he wondered why he didn’t just have the kids meet may have prevented a lot of issues.

Jura spoils Sherry rotten it hasn't changed from when she was little only issue was that Chelia managed to join in.

(This is based off a fairy tail character sheet that Sherry hates water) When Deliora attacked the three lives in a town near a harbor and she has been knocked into the freezing cold water hearing the sounds of Deliora’s cries and was luckily rescued but ever since then she had a huge fear of water that lasted for years until she hit her teens, but it resurfaced again for a little while after her fight with Aquarius.

Theres a shop in Margaret that sells authentic Isvan food thanks to Sherry teaching the recipes properly so she gets to eat there for free.

It took a long time for other Lamia scale mages to get used to Lyon. They resented him for taking away the mages that they knew since they were kids and he always had a cold condescending attitude. But after he saved a member who had been the biggest disliker of Lyon on a mission despite getting hurt himself opinions slowly changed especially after Lyon lightened up.

When Chelia first entered the guild she did the same thing Wendy did and tripped and face planted and cried. Still gets teased about it to this day.

When Jura left for the council Lyon basically became second in command having to control the more wild guild members doing paperwork because Baabaa hated doing it organizing events but not a single member was surprised by this.

Lyon has comforted all three of his friends on panic attacks from Deliora on separate occasions but has never let them see any time he has.

(This one I actually made into a request fic by Mnemosyne's Elegy) that Lyon actually was the one that had to cut Ur’s leg off

The first time they ever took Lyon to a beach Toby Sherry and Yuka all would remind Lyon every 30 minutes to put on sunscreen because they all had a bad sunburn experience in the past when they had come to Fiore the first time

Well that’s all I can think about for now I’ll come up with some more when I can find them. Don’t know how many people will read this but worth a shot!

The Stripping Habit, and why and how Juvia disrespected Gray and his past.

Now I may be over thinking this,but I'm sleep deprived and when I'm sleep deprived I think too much.

As we all know, Gray Fullbuster has a stripping habit. He unconsciously takes off of his clothes and loses them. We also know that he was trained by an Ice Wizard named Ur.

The reason Gray strips is because Ur made him strip during his training sessions to get use to the cold. He strips so much that he started to strip without him realizing this.He carried this so called habit to teenage/adult years, all the way to the last arc.

Now I, along with many others, see this as a sign of PTSD. Because of Ur's deep impression left on him, he kept he stripping habit, when he could have controlled it long ago. This stripping habit, along with his magic, is what I feel like Gray has left of Ur and her memory, and without those things, I feel like Gray wouldn't be the person he was today.

Now, in the Alvarez arc, while Gray was fighting along Juvia, we see this

And this

"But wait!" I hear you Gruvians cry,"Gray's not the only one who strips! Lyon does it too!"

Yes you heathens, I know that. But Lyon also trained under Ur. Ur left that same impression on him that she did on Gray.

"But–But wait!" I hear you shout in the distance,"Juvia did nothing wrong by stripping!"

And that, my dear pro shippers, is where you are wrong.

Juvia had no right to strip. As we said earlier, Lyon and Gray can strip because they've met Ur. They've both shared memories with her that will leave impressions on their lives. Juvia has never met Ur. She never trained under her during her years, she was never taught to strip to get use to the cold, and she never had the experience Gray and Lyon has had with her.

This is some disrespectful sh*t.

Juvia is just trying to copy Gray. In her twisted mind, she thinks that if she strips like Gray, it'll make her accept her, it'll make her closer to him.

No.

I bet she doesn't even know the true meaning behind his reasons. She's just trying to worm her way into his life, by any disrespectful means necessary.

Not only does she disrespect Gray by doing this, she spits on Ur's memory, and anyone who's known her (Lyon, and Ultear), and actually had some connection to her on some sort of level.

Not sir on this crap for a moment, and think.

Chapter 37/545

[usagirln120]

Ur Milkovich: Hogwarts AU

Ur Milkovich is a Pureblood witch that was born on the 10th of February 1952 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1963, being sorted into Gryffindor house.

After graduating from Hogwarts, she became an auror but retired early due to the birth of her daughter Ultear and the loss of her leg during a mission.

Early on, Ultear got sick due to being born with too much magic which also accidentally killed her father but Ur, not wanting her daughter to feel guilty over it, lied and said that her father left because she was working all the time.

She spent a lot of times at St. Mungos while her daughter grew up until Ultear was kidnapped by two of the healers there with Ur being deceived to think that her daughter had passed away.

In grief over the loss of her daughter, she became a foster mother to the orphaned boys Gray and Lyon unaware that this decision would led to her daughter becoming a Death Eater in the future.

She eventually sacrificed her own life to save her youngest son after a big burst of accidental magic but was never forgotten, with her sons often visiting her grace with their families.

Ultear have visited her grave once but due to her feeling guilty over her sins, she has never returned due to feeling like she doesn't deserve to visit her mother.

She had a Cypress wand with a Phoenix Feather Core.

Her Patronus was a Snow Leopard.

Her favorite subjects were Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration.

Her least favorite subjects were Herbology and Potions.

I still think one of the most raw and poignant moments in Fairy Tail is the flashback when Ur did Iced Shell to save Gray and Lyon. Firstly, her comforting Gray while he’s begging her to stop and promising to be a better student is heartbreaking. As are the parallels between the two of them, which would come to be repeated throughout the story and symbolize Gray’s character arc.

This scene would only garner more meaning by the end of Fairy Tail, for one because the character who played the most pivotal role in his life was also very blatantly paralleled with Ur.

However, more discussion on that point belongs to a post specifically dedicated to Juvia/Ur/Ultear parallels, I think.

In regards to the significance of Ur’s death scene, the other reason it takes on more meaning by the end of Fairy Tail’s story is because of Gray’s multiple foiled attempts to repeat history by sacrificing himself for his loved ones using Iced Shell. To me, what’s even more significant than his eagerness to live out his master’s fate is his loved ones’ refusal to allow him to do so. In this fandom, we’ve made jokes about Gray trying to kill himself at the drop of a hat (and that’s still funny lmao) but viewed through a more serious lens, it’s really incredibly tragic.

I think it demonstrates that Ur was really a very broken, lonely person who never really recovered from the death of her husband and child (who turned out not to be dead, but she would not live long enough to learn that). Her willingness to use Iced Shell seems, partly, to be the result of the tragedies which shaped her life and from which she was never given the chance to heal. And one of the more tragic consequences of that choice was that Gray witnessed her usage of the spell and therefore learned how to use it, himself. It became a backdoor option for him, a “worthy death” he would go on to be too eager to turn to whenever the chips were down and he should have been focusing on living for his friends rather than dying for them.

If you asked me to point to the characters who best convey the consequences of Zeref’s most evil decisions and actions, Ur would be close to the top of the list. She was a woman who’d experienced something unimaginable, but had survived and was beginning to rediscover meaning in her life by raising and teaching two children. She would never be allowed the chance to finish rediscovering it thanks to Zeref's creation, Deliora, and would leave those boys with the same guilt and pain she had been forced to experience. She died not knowing her daughter was alive.

Of course, it’s important that Ur’s love survived, even granting her daughter the memories of how hard she fought for her. But still. The tragedy inherent to this character’s story always stuck with me and was so significant to the character Gray, who’s one of my favorite FT characters.

TW!! Suicide//Suicidal behavior

This is a post completely about Iced Shell and its suicidal implications

I think about the intricacies of iced shell constantly. Its a self sacrificial spell, its inherently a suicide spell.

vvv

The people whom know about iced shell clearly know this, but i wonder if they truly understand the implications of it. In the Galuna arc Gray said something along the lines of “ive been prepared die for the last ten years” in reference to casting iced shell on Lyon

We as a fandom have seemed to take this as a nod to Gray being suicidal since before joining Fairy Tail, and im sure other characters who’ve heard/seen this interaction vaguely came to the same conclusion. which makes total sense.

However, i cant help but wonder if Gray considers himself suicidal?

because if he does and iced shell is the way hes is knowingly killing himself then does that mean he thinks Ur also killed herself?

Or does he not consider himself suicidal because that would mean accepting that Ur technically killed herself, that she committed suicide and he is the reason?

Does he not and uses iced shell because he feels it doesn’t really kill the caster so its not really like hes killing himself and does he think iced shell isnt truly a suicide spell because he still believes he killed Ur? and not that she willingly sacrificed herself to save them?

also why do we as a fandom use words like sacrifice while referring to Ur usage of iced shell, but suicide-esque words and phrases with Gray?

ALSO!! I sometimes wonder if the reason Lyon manifested most—if not all— his grief and rage at Gray is because he feels he himself is also at fault.

Because he did try to cast iced shell first, which (dont quote me on this, i didnt fact check and my memory is fuzzy) probably drew the demon towards them and gave Ur the idea to use it herself. I wonder if he thinks about how things couldve been different had he not tried that spell and instead let Ur just grab Gray and him and run.

Realistically, i think Ur wouldve still figured it out and used it by coming up with it on her own, but still.

The complexity of them hurt me

[vaelynez]

You can pry my ‘Ur is a retired guild wizard’ head canon from my cold, dead hands.

That is all.

[lisannastraussisanangel]

Ooh, what about Gray & Lyon & Ultear siblingship headcanons ?

I literally already had this in my drafts as a wip! I love this trio with all my heart! Btw I live in a fantasy world where Ultear is okay so keep that in mind lol

Ultear has big sister energy, Lyon has middle child syndrome and Gray is the baby brother

They all meet up every couple months to catch up. Ultear, particularly, enjoys hearing stories about her mom

The boys teach Ultear ice make. She can already kinda use it but they help her master it

Gray and Lyon bicker constantly. There’s no venom in it anymore but old habits

Ultear still calls Lyon “the cold emperor”. He despises it but she thinks it’s hilarious

Part of Ultear’s path to light was going and apologizing to Lyon about her part in Galuna island. He helped her hide from the council on several occasions after that

They mourned Gray’s ‘death’ and would meet up on the anniversary of it every year. (Even if it almost jeopardized Ultear’s location)

The way they show love is so violent that people think they are trying to kill each other all the time. Imagine Ultear running into Fairy tail and violently pulling Gray into a headlock, Gray throwing Lyon off a literal roof, Lyon and Ultear insulting each other so intensely that Jura steps in

Everyone refers to them as siblings. It gets to the point that the next gen doesn't even know they aren't actually related.

Prank wars. Ultear's idea but has become a family tradition. There is no peace when the trio is together

They all visit Ur's grave together. Ultear was absolutely terrified the first time she went.
