Any tips on how to write Gajeel?

omg…my time has come…

Saff’s Handy Guide To Characterising Gajeel Redfox

I feel like Gajeel is a very complex and well-developed character who, sadly, get’s mischaracterized a lot in fandom. A lot of his development is overlooked in favour of portraying him as the same person he was when he was first introduced in the series when, in reality, he’s come leaps and bounds since then.

Because I am ridiculously extra™ about everything when it comes to Gajeel, instead of just answering this question in a nice and simple way I decided to write the Gajeel character analysis I’ve been meaning to write for a really long time.

Obviously, my word isn’t bond but Gajeel is a character I really love and have put a lot of effort into trying to understand over the last eight years (wow so long omg), and it’s what I always have in mind when I’m writing him, so I hope you’ll find it accurate and helpful for yourself!!!!

happy late father’s day to my favourite fictional dad (to-be)

He wakes first, snatched from sleep by the first few rays of sunlight that filter in through the thin gap in their curtains. 

Mornings like this, where he gets to sit back and take in the sight before him without having to worry about alarms or rushing off to various missions, are few and far between these days. For the last few weeks their time together in their tiny little apartment has been minimal, reduced to brief meetings in the doorway where rushed kisses and murmured i love you’s or stay safe’s are shared before one of them has to dart back out again, aiming to complete as many missions and save as many Jewels as they can before everything changes.

He shifts slightly in the bed, smothering a snort of laughter when he tugs the blanket away from her just a little as she groans quietly in her sleep, shuffling towards him in an attempt to follow the stolen warmth. He can’t tell whether it’s because he knows every inch of her body like it’s his own - the result of long nights and lazy mornings spent mapping each and every part of her with his hands and lips - or whether it’s because the reality has just become unavoidable, but she’s starting to show.

He hums quietly to himself as he runs a hand gently over the swell of her stomach, unable to suppress that feeling of uninhibited happiness that rushes through him with every breath she takes.

“Sleep,” she murmurs quietly, eyes still squeezed tightly shut. “Back to sleep." 

He snorts, watching in amusement as, in her quest for more warmth, she shuffles closer towards him until she’s tucked underneath his chin, body pressed up against his as tightly as she manage given the bump between the. "You’re always so eloquent in the morning,” Gajeel murmurs, dipping his head a little to speak against her ear. 

“And you’re always so chatty,” she grumbles, voice still groggy with sleep. “Sleep.”

He snorts again, tracing a pattern on the exposed skin of the arm resting against his chest. She’s awake now. He can feel her stirring impatiently in his arms as he slowly ghosts his fingers down her body, stopping only when he reaches her stomach to splay his hand across the skin there.

He knows it’s too early for any discernible movement, but he thinks he feels something stir when he rests his hand against her stomach, and that feeling of happiness is back again in full force.

He’s never been a morning person, not in the way people like Natsu - who wakes up bright eyed and bushy tailed like it’s nothing - are, but, he has to admit, as his eyes adjust to the muted sunlight that illuminates their bedroom and he takes in the woman in his arms, there are some perks to waking up early.

For the Ask the fanfic writer: Gajevy- 3,11,13 and 49.

did #3 already!!

11. do you listen to music when writing?

yea!!! if i’m trying to write something emotional or serious i tend to listen to something from Nujabes (particularly the modal soul album), i find all his stuff very relaxing and calming and it rly helps to flow!! 

if i’m writing the rare #smut, i’ll listen to one of my numerous freak ho playlists lmao but other than that, i’ll just listen to whatever comes up on shuffle and go with that

when i was writing my latest gajevy, i pretty much just listened to lykke li’s discography on repeat for a week because it is a wonderful discography, pls listen to lykke li, she’s amazing

13. hardest character to write

i already said kuroo but i also gotta say natsu is pretty difficult to write also, so...i kind of just.....avoid him....

also, levy is kind of??? hit and miss with me?? i feel like i never get her quite right??

49. writing advice

write, write, write!!!!! like with anything, you’re never gna improve if you don’t write and honestly, i hate like literally everything i write about a week after posting it, but i can look back on stuff i wrote six months ago and compare it to something i wrote today and literally see how i’ve improved

also!! read!! you learn new techniques and get introduced to different words and ways of describing things and ways to portray your characters and plot techniques and just everything if u read more

dont beat yourself up if u think you’re terrible because i think literally every writer thinks they’re terrible so you’re probably on the right track lmao!!!!!!

[gildarts-archive]

1, 2, 3!!

i did 1 & 3 sooooo

2. things that motivate you

motivation lmao…what is that??? hah..aghah…*dies* honestly i find it really difficult to stay motivated, i can’t focus on things properly these days and i get distracted by anything but i do get motivated when i read other people’s work and it’s amazing and i’m just like???? ahhh i want to write something as beautiful as that one day, so i get really pumped to try and improve lmao

[gildarts-archive]

1, 3 and 4 for FT. :D

1. things that inspire you

lots of things like things that happen to me in real life or pretty artwork or dumb posts on tumblr or having conversations with my friends about headcanons and yeah, just stuff like that!!! also, recently, flowers and plants??

specific to fairy tail, i get really inspired by a lot of the amazing artists we have in the fandom like p much every day i see something and i’m like AHHH HOW BEAUTIFUL I WNA WRITE SMNTH and also the discussions i have w/ my friends on twitter about things that happen in the series really inspire me and, lately, the canon has been really inspiring for gajevy stuff

3. name three favorite writers

i guess this means fanfic writers since the next question says authors? so GOSH there are so many?? like ok if you just go through my bookmarks on ao3 just ALL OF THEM ok i couldn’t limit it to three

4. name three authors that were influential to your work and tell why

garth nix, ok the day i write a book even half as good as the abhorsen trilogy my life will be complete and i will be able to die happy, like it was a very #formative book series for me, i read it when i was rly young and honestly i gotta reread it again soon

neil gaiman aka number one fave!!! he’s written like most of my favourite books and i love his style of writing and just??? the way he manages to draw people in and honestly i very frequently flick over Neverwhere a lot because i adore his description of london and london below in it and sometimes when i’m having difficulty describing places i reread certain passages just to get a little inspiration same w/ coraline like it’s another book i reread and yeahhhh adore everything about gaiman and he’s one of my biggest influences!!!

not a fantasy author but, stieg larsson (rip) is also another one of my faves. i adooooore the millenium series with all my heart and larsson is another one of my big influences like the ability to write such heavy books and always keep my attention is rly wow to me?? like, it’s a really bad habit, but i have trouble keeping attention and i skimread passages sometimes if it’s a little too text and description heavy but i read every word of it and wna emulate that ability tbh

im gonna add another

because how could i forgot Queen Louise Rennison (rip)??? if you’ve read any of the georgia nicholson books you’d probably recognise my sense of humour lmao like those were the most #formative books i read as a child, i would literally not be the person i am today if i’d never read them at alll, i feel like my sense of humour was literally lifted from that series

[gildarts-archive]

13, 14

13. hardest character to write

at the moment, it’s kuroo from hq!! like i just cannot get the boy right no matter how much i try lmao /lies down and cries

14. easiest character to write

gajeel!!! idk why but he comes really easily to me?? probably because i’ve spent like 7 years crying over him i guess

[gildarts-archive]

i, i follow

summary; she’ll follow him to hell and back word count; 9k read (&review) elsewhere; [AO3] [FFNET] notes; i’m 100% convinced this isn’t the last we’ll see of gajeel, but that chapter fuckin killed me so

They win the war. The world doesn’t end. Countless lives are saved. Everything is fine and they win . Except— Except it doesn’t feel like a win.

Levy watches, tucked carefully underneath Lily’s arm as if he’s still afraid she’s going to try and run, as her guildmates - her family - celebrate with each other. She bites her bottom lip and doesn’t bother to wipe away the tears as she watches them laugh and embrace each other, happy tears sliding down their faces as they hold each other tightly, crying ‘we won, we won!’ over and over.

She can see Natsu laughing hysterically as he swings Lucy round and round, can spot Wendy squeezing Erza’s midriff while she runs a soothing hand through her hair, spies the Raijinshuu huddled around Laxus, desperately clinging on to each other as if they can’t believe this is real, that they’ve all survived, that they’re all alive.

A pained sob slips from her lips as she watches Sabertooth join the impromptu celebrations, Sting cheering loudly as he drapes himself across Natsu’s shoulders, followed by Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale and— Another sob because even Crime Sorciere are there, laughing and celebrating and crying and it hurts . It hurts so much. Hurts because they’re all celebrating their win and she doesn’t understand how they can, because it’s so obvious - so painfully obvious - that someone is missing.

She feels Lily’s grip on her tighten a little, feels the way he shifts slightly so she can bury her face in his chest to muffle the sound of her screams.
