Hey dear community and those who want to be part of it!
It has been a bit silent around apart from occasional reblogs from wonderful fanarts/fanfics (we love that the fandom is still active!!) but be sure that Fraxus Week will take place from the 31st of August til September 8th again this year - so this is the yearly call for prompt suggestions!

I had to emotionally torture myself by going back to reread the chapters about Future Lucy, just to show you all how deeply Natsu cared for and cherished Lucy. Even if she was Future Lucy, she was still his Lucy.
If you pay close attention, when Future Lucy was killed, she coughed up a lot of blood. The fatal wound in her abdomen bled heavily, spreading into a pool of blood beneath her. Her clothes were no longer neat either, perhaps affected by the battle between Natsu and Rogue.
But when Ultear and Meredy’s team arrived in time to heal Natsu, instead of immediately leaving to fight Rogue, Natsu did not. He ignored the wound in his own body and dragged himself toward Future Lucy’s body, then broke down crying beside her dead body.
And more than that, I really like believe that he was the one who carefully made up Future Lucy’s body and made her look neat again.
You can see it in Chapter 337, Future Lucy is lying peacefully in a cleaner place, with no blood around her anymore. Her clothes were a bit tousled, and her inside short dress even peeked out at first, but then everything was all neat and tidy again. Her hand is folded neatly over her chest, allowing her to rest with dignity and pass on in peace. That detail says everything about how much Natsu treasured her. Even in his grief, even while injured, he still cared enough to give Lucy the gentlest farewell he could.
Sooooo I got re-obsessed with Sally Face and really wanted to draw adult Salvis so… TADA! au where Kenneth just thinks Sal is the devil for some reason but doesn’t actually run a cult!!!!
⚡️ The upcoming Fairy Tail mini-serialization will be centered around LAXUS! ⚡️
This is according to Hiro Mashima himself at the Amiens Comics Festival in France 🇫🇷 !
Q: To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Fairy Tail, a mini-series will be published in Weekly Shonen Magazine. Can you tell us more about it?
HM: My editors are present in the room, so I’m not quite sure what I’m allowed to say… (laughter). The next mini-series will be centered on Laxus. The story is going to be stunning, I hope you’ll like it.

A Transcription of Hiro Mashima's Interview from TEAM MANGA on Twitter [6/5/26]
And I assume this means Laxus is the "surprising character" that Hiro Mashima mentioned back in April:
"There will also be a short, concentrated serialization. It’s a story focusing on a surprising character, but Natsu and the others will still be causing plenty of chaos."
I've also seen it translated as: "a story focusing on some unexpected characters," which only adds to my delusional hope that the Raijinshuu will actually get to play a bigger role for this story, but it’s probably just a mistranslation.
I’m going to ramble a bit here, but I still really really hope it will be about Laxus AND the Raijinshuu. I know Mashima said it was centered around Laxus, but I can’t imagine the Raijinshuu not being involved in some way. (It feels wrong to even consider them not being included in a Laxus story, but you never know with how they’ve been treated lately 😖.)
Honestly... It's the only reason I'm scared to get my hopes up. I'm still super excited about it, don't get me wrong! But I've also been disappointed way too many times with how they've been handled throughout the series and just how often they seem to be forgotten about. And I know I’m not the only one.
But… I really want to see Bickslow, Freed, and Evergreen again. I want to see them actually play a role in the story instead of being single-panel background gags. They don’t need to be the main focus, but I look forward to the possibility of them getting any kind of attention after all this time. And I’d love to see Hiro Mashima draw them again!
It is a mini-series, so I guess their role in the story also depends on how many chapters Mashima plans on writing. If it's around the same length as the Mashima HERO'S manga, which is 10 chapters, I think they have a good chance to be included!
And for those curious, the synopsis for the short-serializations is: "The summer festival will stir up new trouble for Natsu and his friends!!" It sounds really interesting, which makes me even more excited and curious for how Laxus (and hopefully the Raijinshuu 🤞) will be involved and what direction the story will go! It's supposed to start releasing sometime around Late July/August, which is only a few months away! So we’ll just have to wait and see~!
As always, I'll keep this blog updated if any more information is released and when the serialization comes out! So stay tuned ~ ❤︎
A redraw of THIS drawing I made basically a year ago! Also ya get to see my Laxus, Bixlow, Evegreen, and Mirajane redesigns! (They all will be getting actual sheets after I finish Gajeel, Levy, Panther Lily, and Carla’s!)
Sooooo in the rewrite of Fairy Tail I’m working on I wanna throw Freed onto Fairy Tail Team B cuz my man does not get enough time to SHINE! Also when I was coloring him I didn’t intend to make him match Laxus uh whoops?
