'Fairy Tail' Author was asked if fans' expectations regarding certain pairings ever influenced the story's development:
"I never change my narrative because of readers' needs or expectations. I'm certainly happy to see readers discuss their wishes, but ultimately the decision rests with the author. I pay attention to this feedback, but I don’t take it all at face value."
"This might be a phenomenon unique to Japanese culture: what’s most captivating isn’t usually the state where two people are already together, but rather that period when they love each other yet haven’t officially established a relationship. That’s the most heart-fluttering stage. As for whether they’ll actually end up together in the end… well, that depends on my mood."
@JCorduroy60304 I believe was talking about all of them unfortunately, bc he already said this about gruvia during a space a while back
I just think it's funny this image became a symbol of Mashima's ragebaiting 😭
@DevilLintroid@GotoMerry5498@AniTVOfficial dawg every interaction of them is just juvia screeching "gurei samaaaaaaa" and gray being either repulsed by it (main story) or embarrassed (100yq), how is that "more compelling" than a story about two child slaves healing 😭😭
@DevilLintroid@GotoMerry5498@AniTVOfficial Jellal was literally the antagonist in the arc that focused on Erza - jerza is as enemies to lovers as it gets
Gray and Juvia just had a minor low stakes fight...
gosh, i'm at my wits end, could we organize a day for crime sorciere during the 7 year timeskip to show mashima this is a period fans are really interested in?
@aobajohsky I would love to organize it, but I don't think I have enough reach to do so. I'll try to make a tweet about it on my art acc since I have more followers there

if anything, the only thing I can be happy about is that if it has to be someone that already had a spinoff, I'd rather take Laxus than Gajeel and have to suffer through more of his obnoxious ship
And the weird part is I've never heard a woman complain about how attractive or unattractive a male character is, they just play the fucking game. But with men it's "uGHhHhH how am I supposed to play a game iff the female characters tits aren't in my face☹️☹️ she has wrinkles!!"
