Cxlandine - Narcissus

all of them fall into the best friends to lovers trope too. Mashima is that a pattern??? dammit!

adaine's an oracle so either she foresaw fabian getting her an EARWORM and decided to do revenge OR she rigged drawing straws to get a closed loop with fabian because she doesn't have 2gps to spare on a gift and fabian has no concept of how much things cost.

FABIAN AND ADAINE ARE SO BAD AT GIFTGIVING. WHAT THE HELL WERE BOTH OF THOSE

you ever just stop to think about taissa turner before the crash. so coldly logical. everything about her was so controlled, such perfectly calculated compartmentalisation that she could get the team to nations, she could get into law school, she could keep her parents happy and do it all with just enough time in between to let herself be happy with van. how she carved out a space for them to live freely and kept it carefully contained to protect it.

and then she loses control bit by bit. she has more freedom, more time with van, more space to be herself. but she gets greedy. she gorges herself on it. she loses the safety, the certainty, the confidence. she can't protect herself anymore, can't protect van. and she can barely even enjoy it anymore because she's so desperately trying not to lose it. part of losing control is losing yourself, and suddenly she's looking at someone living her life who's not her, who invaded their safe space.

think about tai on the other side of the hospital door, screaming to see her. just to see her, spend as much time with her as she can. to bask in five more minutes of van. and the other person dismisses her with a promise of later. they could have another day, another year with van. if she just hands over those five minutes. if she gives up her joy, her freedom, then maybe she can go crawling back to control.

this sounds like the sims. you're playing the sims

this whole scene was so gerard talking to elody-coded you have no idea

BREAKING NEWS:

the hannibal fandom has figured out that i like women ! i fear they plan to use this information to seduce and manipulate me, and i find myself very susceptible to such behaviours. if i am found impaled on a stag’s head with organs missing, know that i died happy.

Mwah

just gonna add my unwanted headcanons

natsu?? def enby ish. probs any pronouns, is just vibing. i wanna say pansexual aromantic, bc he does have fanservice-y moments and is mostly just oblivious to romance.

erza and cana are basically canon wlw - am i wrong?? jellal’s the only guy erza’s ever liked and cana might go for a guy once in a while but wouldn’t be serious about it.

lucy and juvia are gay as hell. i refuse to accept juvia’s obsession with gray as romantic bc thats not what i think romance is but i definitely do believe it was sexual. also juvia is definitely somewhere in the enby spectrum. 

gray had a crush on erza at some point, probably also on natsu tho tbf. not lucy or juvia, at all - he’s definitely some form of demi, possibly asexual.

i can’t see jellal ever having romantic feelings for anyone but erza, so i’ll call him greyromantic. he’s also definitely asexual. not sex repulsed, but it isn’t something he has any desire for.

gajeel has always been ftm in my head and i have absolutely no reason for that. he n levy are doing great being str8 together, and i’m p comfortable saying they’re both straight.

also QUEERPLATONIC NALU is the future. lucy kinda thought it might be romantic at some point but natsu is very aromantic and now they chill and eat ice cream together. they are always mistaken for a couple, esp since natsu will get jealous if lucy spends more time w her partner than him but their solution for that was for natsu to tag along on dates like their kid.

none, and i mean none, of the fairy tail characters are cishet (as in maybe cis but part of the lgbt community and/or trans/nb etc). idc. yall can disagree with me but i refuse to acknowledge some of these ships (like gruvia oop).

natsu dragneel is aroace and overall a no labels guy in general. lucy heartfila is bi leaning guys but we all know she has a gf. gray fullbuster is gay or bi. erza scarlet is bi leaning girls.

natsu has a close ass relationship with lucy but they're not romantic in any way. they enjoy eachothers company, spend one on one time together etc (im bad at explaining JDNDKXJD). if juvia's obsessive and unhealthy behaviour towards gray wasn't canon, she'd probably be crushing on lucy. gray.... oh, gray. he is. oh, you know. erza is just vibing.

my main fairy tail ships are currently:

(romantic) jellal x gray

(romantic) erza x jellal

(platonic) lucy x natsu

(romantic) lucy x juvia if she didn't have her obsession

(romantic) levy x gajeel

of course, everything i say is headcanons, but lemme just believe this is real,, this once,,

screaming into the ether: buddy doesn't know the plan! he worships ankarna, he doesn't know they want to kill her and will not agree with that!
