"If Lucy had never left her father, what would have happened?"
Mashima replied that two things would have happened: first, her father would have forced her to marry someone of his choosing; and second, Fairy Tail would never have existed.
That alone shows just how important Lucy is to the story, in case anyone still doubted it. 😍 She is every bit as much a main character of Fairy Tail as Natsu is.
definitely the most politically heavy chapter i’ve written so far. it kicked my ass ngl but i’m so excited to start working on natsu and lucy as a team in chapter 10
yall are stressing abt what mashima did or didn’t say like he didn’t have edo lucy who has a whole ass baby with edo natsu tell earthland lucy that natsu and her “will figure it out”
@laramcelino literally tho, having a whole child in another universe together is a clear message to wait. they are and will be canon, just not at the pace fans want
the worst part is i can’t even judge mashima for not wanting to let go of the ungodly beast of a slow burn he’s created for nalu bc my fave part of writing nalu fics… is in fact the slow burn
