For those of you who miss[ed] the magazine, I drew a four-panel piece. (DeepL Translate + 4koma translation by variationa)

the way they fucked over the composition of this panel in the anime omgggg... why is he sideways... the manga one is so perfect like the way his scarf is billowing kind of gives the impression of the realization washing over him ...

hmm I'll just post this so I can move on and work on something else. I mostly used watercolours traditionally and I'm finding it super hard to replicate on digital 😓 but I also am trying to stick a bit more to digital art just for convenience sake but aaaaaaa... anyways nalu content <3

justifying every 100yq natsu characterisation inaccuracy as accidental typos Lucy made when rewriting the book

I have too much going through my head but this once again showed me that the plot points and story beats in FT are genuinely good it's just the battle writing is 😬 and some things aren't tied up as well as they should have been. Like, if I sat someone down, and explained the whole story and lore like "this happens and then this happens which actually foreshadows this later thing" it all sounds super interesting but the actual execution is the issue. Anyways I've always been someone who just rewrites and reimagines stuff I don't like, canon is optional, and I've been sufficiently inspired to open up Google docs and start writing 😆
IM DONE WITH MY (RE)WATCH(READ).... ive actually never seen or read Alvarez before this but I was deeply familiar with the spoilers anyways but .. IM DONE.... I switched almost entirely to manga for Alvarez and gotta say my experience was much better than my anime only friends LMAO if you manage your expectations it really was alright. Brandish >>>. she's the exact combination of tropes I love wtff like!! and anyways I'm so emotional now like snow fairy in the last episode got to me so badly and UGH....

I'm so sad that the 2014 adaptation fumbled because there actually was so much good content that could've gone down in history :((( like the episode where we get BOTH erzav100 and cana fairy glitter gives me chills to this day but I can't recall ever getting that feeling in tartaros arc which SHOULD'VE BEEN THE MOST HYPE... the fights just devolved into still shots and aftermaths with no continuous choreography... Wendy dragon force... Lucy soloing the whole guild (summoning three spirits at once, her sacrifice, summoning the fucking celestial spirit king, unlocking her star dress, urano metria)...... the dragons coming back... But the animation was just not good (except for in gray vs silver? and maybe the later part of Lucy's fight...) and ughhhh i just :(

the natsu getting jealous trope is always a bit funny to me because looking at canon these random NPC men should not be his worry bro Lucy has a whole army of pretty capable women crushing on her 😭

I JUST HIT POST TARTAROS OF MY REWATCH AND .... WHERE WAS THIS LEVEL OF GROVELLING .... MY POOR LUCY...
You guys I'm actually crying over chapter 204.5 (which is technically an ad for a certain company we're all boycotting btw) but ignoring the actual ad THE STORYLINE WAS SO??? GOOD???? the Natsu characterization in this was INCREDIBLE (be prepared for intense 100yq hatred) and it portrayed exactly why I fell in love with nalu in the first place....
Summary and analysis below (doesn't incl all the pages btw!!)
Tumblr media
We start off with Lucy finding Natsu and Happy at her place, as always.
Tumblr media
this is followed by him being like "do you think we'll peek or something" which... 100yq natsu would have... that IMPOSTER...
Anyways while she's taking a bath, Natsu and Happy are browsing around Lucy's room and find a book that stands out. (Btw right next to this book is her diary, 100yq natsu would've gone straight for that). However they end up accidentally destroying it and start panicking. They ask Lucy if they can "borrow it" and Lucy panics at first, saying it's precious and not to touch it, but relents when they say they found it "interesting".
Tumblr media
fast forward, we see them worn out after trying and failing to find a replacement copy. ONCE AGAIN, they're doing this because it's something precious to LUCY. Not because they care about reading, or because the book has any value to them, but because they understand it's important to HER. Natsu (and Happy) going the extra mile for things that are important to Lucy is SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART of their entire dynamic.
continuing, Lucy walks into the guild and asks how they're finding the book, they say it's interesting. Lucy gets SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS and starts talking non stop ab the book. Happy asks her why this book is so important to her and...
Tumblr media
Y I K E S.
So yeah, they ultimately decide that lying isn't it and they should apologize upfront.
Tumblr media
this is so beautiful to me, idk like the imagery of them bowing so sincerely is so.... and like wow MASHIMA seems like natsu IS capable of acknowledging his own wrongdoings and offering genuine apologies. I'm not even talking ab the whole post tartaros situation no, I'm talking about fucking 100yq, where natsu actually physically hurts Lucy and doesn't apologize for it (AND IN FACT ITS PLAYED FOR A GAG)(IMPOSTER!!! NOT MY NATSU!!!)
Soooo Lucy doesn't take it well and runs away.
Tumblr media
the fact that they didn't stop their search here. the fact that they EXPANDED it to other towns to try and find her the book THIS IS JUST <3333
Anyways, Lucy returns and reveals dozens of copies of the book...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My heart actually broke for her here because as someone who ig creates stuff as well, it really can be painful to have no audience interaction. And to have a book you wrote bomb like that...ouch... and of course she would've been excited, her best friends told her they found it interesting!!! my HEART. OUCH. and the sheer guilt on Natsu and Happy's faces here 😭 Once again, 100yq would've played this off for a gag...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And they all start bawling (and the ad comes in so I will stop there) but YEAH. THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL??? The way she's regretful too, the way they're still trying to apologize and make her feel better I'm :(. This is what makes nalu work and it feels like mashima is forgetting that ab his own work... they're both genuinely good and kind to each other... like not to get sidetracked but there has always been goofy fanservice moments but there were also so many wonderful, emotional, complex scenes with them with depth and maturity and I just feel like that's lacking now. So reading this was like getting punched in the face srsly because wow... THIS is the natsu I know and love ugh .....

something something Bisca and Alzack wholeheartedly trusting Natsu to babysit Asuka in the original series while 100yq is heading straight into "we can't let him look after gajeel and Levy's kids alone he'll burn the whole place down!!!" joke territory 😭

he looks so cute in the manga like tenrou/timeskip onwards how is it even possible realistically speaking his design should be the antithesis of cute but the pink hair + whatever the hell mashima does with his face combined it's just ???!?!?! HES SO CUTE??!?! HOW IS HE SO CUTE????????

the stuff I write usually don't have concrete plots they're more like narratives and relationships and tropes I like cobbled together but I'm still struggling to figure one out for FT.... maybe I'll finally do the natsu character analysis introspection of my dreams as a fic.... I'll need to finish my rewatch for that tho bec my late canon knowledge is wonky atm...

guys omg where is this from and does anyone have a clearer pic?!?! this isn't even about the nalu for me I'm fixated on happy's "he is, for some reason, emotionally attached to her" as the number 1 lucy-happy-friendship enthusiast
