This is the most pure smile I’ve ever seen.

And I made another background 😄

I’ve been binge watching Fairy Tail recently and I’ve noticed in some of the episodes there are little hidden characters in the background.

This one is in S1 E69. It’s the fourth one I’ve noticed so far. I’m wondering if anyone else in this fandom has noticed these little Easter eggs and, if so, if there exists a list of which episodes have them and in which scenes they can be found. This one is in E70z

So I’m rewatching FT and in S1E34 when Ezra is telling her backstory in the Tower of Heaven, I realized that all the members of the Oración Seis are shown. Has anyone else noticed that or am I just slow on the uptake?

Dragon slayers possess dragon seeds that if fully activated transform the dragon slayer into a full blown dragon (while leaving their magic intact but immensely enhanced). Do the other slayer arts also have seeds of corresponding types with equally interesting consequences? If so then what might that mean?

if one was one type of slayer could one also learn other slayer magic? I’m thinking specifically of Natsu who being a fire dragon slayer can utilize fire in many different ways. He’s already consumed flame god slayer magic (during his battle against Zancrow) so could he do the same with fire demon slayer magic (if much magic exists that is). If so might he eventually learn other fire element slayer magic’s and become an all-slayer?

Ok so this topic is going to involve Zancrow, and I’ve looked back at Tenrou Island arc and the fight between him and Natsu. This put an idea in my fanfic, and I decided to have Zancrow get a W on Natsu on my version for the Tenrou Island arc. I first disliked Zancrow, but then there was one reason I liked him. His badass design. He may have the resemblance of Gajeel, but he’s also a God Slayer. I honestly wish that Zancrow could’ve been fleshed out more and looked into the lore of God Slayers. Who else besides me think that Zancrow should’ve been fleshed out more?

Ok so i swear erza kills ajeel on the ship at the start of the war, but then when he comes back as a historia at the end of his fight with elfman his grandad’s all like don’t kill him but isn’t he already dead i just

Did i like make up erza killing him or did i not watch it right or something

Gildarts Clive

Of all the wizarding guilds in Earthland, none are stronger or more infamous than Fairy Tail. This group of evil-fighting heroes is just as famous for their combat prowess as they are for racking up massive amounts of property damage, and a not insignificant part of those property damage bills come from Gildarts Clive, one of Fairy Tail's strongest mages. The middle-aged, often-absent Gildarts practices a form of magic which is so powerful that he could easily destroy his town if he happened to slip (which has happened before).

Note on canon:

Multiple times in the end-of-volume Q&As, there are indications that anime-only content is canon to the manga story, such as here and here. Thus, this RT will include anime-only content.

In the Tenrou Island arc, there is a tree on the island which increases the power of Fairy Tail guild members on the island (until it's temporarily negated); Feats taking place on this island while the tree is still standing will be marked [Tree].

After the Tenrou Island arc, there is a seven year timeskip. During those seven years, they were magically kept in suspended animation by a magical power, not aging a day. By author statement, the affected characters were no stronger afterwards than they were before the timeskip. Therefore, those feats are not marked separately.

After the Tartaros arc, there is another, one year timeskip. Feats from after this timeskip will be marked [PT]

So I’ve rewatched Phoenix Priestless and now looking back at it, I still like the film. The scene where Eclair dies at the end of the film and Lucy gets emotional about it. And I had a emotional dream that I’m right beside Lucy and she looks directly at me all teared up and this was the sign that I wanted to give her a hug and tell her “I’m sorry.” And then she says to me “Please don’t be the next friend to leave me. My heart can’t take it if I lose another.” From the moment she said them words, I immediately teared up and said to her. “I’m not going anywhere, besides we’re in this together.” Quite similar to the line Natsu has said more than once. This is exactly why I have mad respect for Lucy, I don’t care what the haters say about her. Several of the fandom seem to underestimate her, and gets unnecessary hate for no reason, even if she isn’t your favorite. I love and appreciate Lucy for who she is, a loving, caring, kind person.

Question for the community in the chapter image for chapter 312... what is lucy holding? a potato bug, a hot dog, some type of celestial spirit??? please someone help me I can't find the answer anywhere.... Thanks

Ok, I know this is prob very controversial, but I hate Lucy. And dis is why:

1. She's useless

If she was to die, obviously all of her friends would be very depressed, but it wouldn't really make a difference whether she was alive or not.

2. She thinks she's all that

Quoting Sherry, just because she's a little cute, she thinks she's all that. Probably because she had everything she wanted growing up, she's prideful.

3. She's weak

She has about the strength of Happy or Carla (Yes, I'm seriously comparing her to a cat). She always starts her fights by losing, and it doesn't make sense how she can always win. Also, she just buys keys for her magic, unlike the others, who were born and trained to be talented. Anyone in the world could buy keys...

4. NaLu doesn't make sense.

I know that NaLu is one of the most popular ships, but... I don't think Lucy deserves Natsu, first of all, but when they're together, it just doesn't seem right.
