🧵Gray’s love for Juvia developed gradually throughout the ENTIRE Fairy Tail series 🧵
A thread copied from my original tumblr post (that will be linked at the end). Now that Gray and Juvia have reunited in the manga, I figured it was a good time to remind everyone that Gray fell in love with Juvia gradually throughout the entire series... aka, it wasn’t out of no where.
Most of the time, those who dislike Gruvia are quick to say Gray was “constantly rejecting” and “constantly annoyed” by Juvia, and now “all of a sudden” he loves her, so it’s OOC. But that’s not true. Gray was not constantly annoyed by Juvia, nor did he constantly reject her. More over, he cannot be “forced” to love her. Something is not forced when it’s been gradually developing for a long time. Aside from that, Gray isn’t so weak willed and will say no to things he doesn’t like. He chooses to be with Juvia himself. Juvia is Gray’s main partner; someone who stands proudly by his side, and he wants her there. She is the only girl that he has romantic development with.
To fans of the ship—and to those who may not be, but want to understand—this thread is for you. Be advised, this is long, comprehensive, and detailed. Please read until the end.
