Y'all are sleeping on what is happening in palestine huh? Well lemme give you a quick background
Muslim Men, women and children of all ages and colors are being killed, raped, brutally murdered and tortured in palestine
Isr*el went to Al-Aqsa Mosque completely trashed the place and killed people while doing their prayers
The army of Isr*el literally sat the place on fire! As a Muslim I can't put into words how angered I am by this! Thousands of innocents are getting killed and do you know what's worse? When we fight back with everything we have we are called terrorists anyone with no basic knowledge of Muslims and Islam calls us terrorists! Like I'd really really appreciate it if you took some minutes of your time to educate yourself in this and please remember that country is called PALESTINE NOT ISRAEL
People there just want to have the right to live nothing more
And guess who turned a blind eye to everything that happens there? Everyone. America literally supports isr*el
in season 6 we BETTER fucking get argos and chat noir interactions
also this raises a question ive had for like a while, if you have the peacock miraculous its been shown you can sense if something/someone is an amok or a sentimonster
obviously argos is aware of himself, adrien, and kagami
but would he be able to sense chat noir? does having a miraculous on affect it? is agros going to feel the need to investigate first before striaght uo telling him (how adrien finds out) argos trying to find who else gabriel gave the peacock to, (he doesnt care if he finds out who chat noir is)
mischaracterization of gray as cold or unemotional kills me, actually. i'd argue that out of the core characters, he's up there as someone who's actually pretty emotionally intelligent and forthcoming about what he's going through. now, natsu, on the other hand...
exactly!! it kills me when someone characterizes him as cold, emotionally closed off or even a tsundere. he is easily the most emotionally intelligent out of the core group
he is someone who is traumatized, and likes to be private about his issues. like have your entire village be killed by a demon and let's see how happy you'd be lmao
Gray watching the slayers hang out and go on jobs together: :(
Gray after being âadoptedâ: :| (secretly loving it)
Sting considering putting a gps chip on Gray only to find Juviaâs one already there and getting mad.
Sting: How dare she!
Gray: how dare you!
Wendy being the most protective.
Slayers getting jealous of Gray hanging out with Lyon. (Just wait until Natsu tells them about Galuna island).
Rogue uses Frosch to trick Gray into therapy
Someone comments on Grayâs nudity/makes suggestive comments and Wendy gets mad. Wendy: Heâs too young!
My personal headcannon is that memento mori made Gray more demon so heâs got a bit of a taste for blood. He was going to keep it secret but after defeating Avatar one of the members were like âtheyâll never accept you. Youâre a monster!â.
Also that Avatar messed Gray up. He just casually mentions his initiation (ie torture) or Briar and Jerome being a bit too friendly, or not being able to get out a blood stain. And everyone is just wtf?
Sorry for the ramble! Itâs just nice to get these ideas out
donât apologize! i love seeing other peoples hcs!
i refer to the dragon slayers dragon as it or they bc i classify it as kind of a separate entity? same with grays demon
More dragon slayers beinng protective of gray for the soul! (these are more just them and gray hcs i have, but the protectiveness is implied)
TW IMPLIED SEXUAL HARRASSMENT
its a lot so vv
Gray gets sick a lot, and its never just a simple cold or small fever, its always smth vaguely serious
and the dragons absolutely despise it, they also despise that its not something they can just destroy
Every time Gray gets sick all their inner dragons are immediately running in circles with the need to make him feel better
He sniffles once or gets a tiny scrape and theres a multitude of crashes and yelling to find blankets, med kits, and trying to find the best spot for him to sit down at
Wendy is extra feral and protective during these times
(which is saying a lot bc her dragon is definitely the most protective normally, whether bc its young or bc theyre a healer so thats their job to protect doesnt matter, it just is)
she has bitten people for getting too close (ie. within 40 ft) to them, even if theyre in a public place
Shes also forgotten shes a healer multiple times bc her dragon was so hellbent on the good old fashioned hands on approach
During one of the times he was bedridden at home, they found an book with Isvan style recipes in it, then proceeded to try and make something from it
they failed, they are complicated recipes and they probably wouldve failed home ec
but its the thought that counts and count it did bc Gray practically threw himself at them in a hug when they told him what they tried to do
GOING OFF THE HC OF DEVIL SLAYERS SLEEPING A LOT THING LIKE CATS (ty @bluneko91 for the idea) i think Gray in general has always been the type to sleep anywhere and everywhere
but now he can actually easily get to those hard to reach places and nap, and hes a menace with it
a weekly occurrence at the Fairy Tail guild is half the dragon slayers frantically searching for their demon slayer, looking in his past usual haunts (at the bar, on a table, under a table, makarovs office, on the stairs somewhere, the more random the more likely)
only for him to be found on the rafters 100 ft off the ground
when they find him they have about a good 7 seconds of peace before they verge yet another cardiac event bc holy shit oh god hes gonna fall!!
another common scene is Gray sleeping (in less dangerous places) and having various token dragon slayer clothes covering him
The dragons asking Gray if he wants to go on a job with them, only for him to (reluctantly) decline bc Lyon is in town and they have plans
then proceeding to sulk the whole job
Natsu was sulking the most, and spilt what happened on Galuna
and suddenly Lyon and Gray had 5 fuming dragons following them
(and if Lyon got graphic threats if he ever fucked up again he never said anything)
Gray is a hit of a wanderer, not in a âgetting lost/bad at directionsâ way, but in a âlikes to see the scenery/has a feeling and doesnt voice it, just goes with itâ kinda way
Hes done this enough times and is quiet enough about it the others dont realize till hes gone
On one of the jobs he took with Rogue & Sting they half jokingly and half seriously threaten him with a tracker
and Gray says that Juvia probably already has one of him
Rogue and Sting not having a whole lot of context on that asks what he means, and then gets a disturbing account of some of the things shes done
Lets just say the feelings they harbor for her and for the people who let it continue are neither kind nor pretty
they probably ripped the other slayers a new one when they got back
Contrary to popular belief, ice mages can get cold, it takes a hell of a lot more than an average person but it does happen.
Gray probs mentioned this once and now when it rains or snows-
Laxus throws his coat at Gray, Natsu offers to share his scarf and using his fire to warm him up, Rogue drapes his cloak around him
its a very soft image and i needed to share it
Gray starting to push the other slayers away bc hes struggling with his demon instincts and because hes scared hes going to become a monster and hurt them
them not taking any of that shit
reassuring him that he would never become something cruel and evil
hes becoming a demon, hes not a monster, not a murderer
Ppl are frequently gross about Grays stripping habit
its one of the only things that made him genuinely try to stop
People tend to think since hes so obviously confident in his body that its okay to touch him whenever and however they want
the dragon slayers are inclined to disagree
Gajeel breaking some guys arm after he wouldnt keep his hands to himself
Laxus spilling water on someone whose personal dictionary didnt include âNoâ then repeatedly shocked them until they werent in reach
Wendy having to be (reluctantly, they just dont want her to get in trouble tbh) held back when someone keeps making comments on his body after he told them to fuck off
that did not stop her from giving them the worst insults and threats anybody has ever heard
[if she went back to find them again nobody would know, i mean, and they were perfectly intact! not a scratch on them! and who was gonna believe that a sweet girl like her would harm anybody?:)]
Gray has been threatened with being wrapped in bubble wrap after being injured so many times, which is crazy considering its Natsu of all people who says it
They have gotten really comfortable with eachother
and i mentioned once smth abt the slayers having little private hang outs (jobs or normal get together or âmeetingâ type things at guilds)
during one of these he casually mentioned what he had to endure to be accepted into Avatar
âyeah, they locked me in a kiln like room for hours every couple daysâ
jaw drops galore
âi beg your fucking pardon.â
âoh yeah, dw tho, it usually overlapped with the deprivations days so i wasnt fully aware of what was going on, didnt even hurtâ
âTHE FUCKING WHATâ
*increasing volume of worried and angry sounds*
I think Natsu is also a total cat magnet, so when Gray is having an off day heâll go in search for a cat
when they approach him, he picks them up and drops them in Grays lap and waits
it always helps him feel better
im trying to imagine Gray getting a date and them all trying to discreetly spy on it
âGaj, the pole doesnt exactly hide yââ
âSSHH THEYLL HEAR YOUâ!â
OH MY GOD IMAGINE THE SHOVEL TALKS
sorry this took a minute!! i have a lot to say but not enough words
What he means: Gray Fullbuster is, when you subtract his fanservice âhabitâ and his shackles in the form of Juvia, a wonderful character who routinely uses his head instead of his heart and is one of the only characters to do so in the manga. A good example is his and Lyonâs battle with Racer, where once heâs out of range of the slowing magic, heâs able to pretty much one-shot a very powerful, feared wizard by sniping his ass from over a mile away from the top of an ice tower. Another prime example is his duel with Ultear Milkovich: even though heâs speaking about Ur and family and believing in things and all of that nakama nonsense, he still wins the duel solely through his own wits and logic. Heâs also not unwilling to hurt himself if thatâs what needs to be done to take down an opponent, and through a combination of these things, he manages to get in one of his most powerful attacks on the strongest of the Seven Kin, who uses a primordial lost magic vastly superior to his own, by freezing his own blood. And this is a trend with him. So basically, what we have here is a character who not only kicks ass, but uses his brain to do it. And okay, he looks damn good doing it too. And when heâs not doing that, heâs a voice of reason and calm around his guildmates. Gray Fucking Fullbuster, everyone.

Iâve actually added several chapters since my last post, but Iâm not on Tumblr often. My bad! I thought Iâd share a humorous snippet today, featuring Lucy fighting a mercenary.
"You chose the wrong guy to try to seduce!" he declared as he stomped towards her, knife raised to take her out in one savage blow, seeing no reason to hold back on account of her being a woman. Let no one ever say he didn't treat everyone equally.
To his amazement, she blocked his strike with little effort, causing his knife to fling away, crying out, "Who says I'm trying to seduce you?" before delivering a swift kick towards his groin.
Seeing the ease in which she'd deflected that blow, Godwin instinctively knew he wanted to avoid that incoming kick at all costs, and pushed her away as he retreated a fair distance from her feet. He eyed her more critically, rightfully assuming her change in attire had something to do with that enormous strength. While he calculated his next move, she shook out her hand, the one she'd blocked with, and pulled out a long whip.
She was muttering to herself as she pulled the whip taut between her hands.
"Seriously, even though I definitely was not trying to hit on you, I can't believe you wouldn't fall for my stunning good looks. What the heck is wrong with you bad guys anyway?! Is there some weird standard of sex appeal I'm not aware of? Freakin Gray attracts more men than I do!"
"What?"
"I mean, don't get me wrong, I can totally see the appeal. If I was a guy, I'd probably switch sides for him too, but Natsu and I have a chemistry, dammit!"
"The Hell are you going on about, lady?!"
"I'm talking about how this right here," she said as she gestured towards herself, "constantly goes over the heads of dimwits who don't know how to appreciate true beauty!"

The "Adrien/Cat Noir-deserves-better" speech starts from arguments that make sense and turns into spiteful criticism towards the female protagonist just because SHE IS the protagonist. If you think Adrien is the one writers hate/underestimate, I'm sorry, go rewatch the show.
I personally don't think the writers hate him BUT the amount of wasted potential Adrien has is honestly baffling
He isn't as involved in the story as he should be. His father is literally HAWKMOTH and they *spoilers* don't even include him in the final battle
Much could be done with his character but NOOO the writers have to focus on other things *cough* making everyone in love with marinette *cough*
also the argument of "he's a male character they CAN'T hate him" is absolutely null and stupid???
If ANYONE sees Adrien's character "progression" they would know he isn't the writer's favorite. I don't think they hate but they clearly don't know what they're doing with him or are doing that on purpose
Adrien deserves WAY better than he gets and that doesn't have to be at the expense of any other character
The issue with ladybug and chat noir is that they paint them as equals and yet give all the attention to ladybug and only ladybug
Did Ladybug even know about the Season 4 LadyNoir conflict?
Did she ever actually learn why Chat was mad at her?
Because I absolutely may be forgetting some things but as far as I remember she was completely in the dark until he blew up on her in Kuro Neko about how she doesnât trust him enough and then quit on the spot. And then she has Plagg yelling at her that she âbroke his heart!â and then it becomes a matter of Ladybug not being in love with Chat Noir as a moral failing on Ladybugâs part? Outside of that the only thing sheâs canonically been told at this point is that Chat âdoesnât feel like she trusts himâ, but thatâs incredibly generic and offers no solution; how could she prove her trust any more than she already has, barring exposing the identities of the other heroes regardless of their consent?
Was Marinette in the middle of a season-long conflict and never even really learned what the conflict actually was? Iâve GOT to be missing something, right?
The way the re-written universe deadass undoes all the progress Adrien made regarding his father in the finale.
Adrien fought Gabriel as Nightormentor and finally was allowed to hold his father accountable for being the horrible person and villain he is even just as a civilian, but in the re-written universe Gabriel asked Marinette to make sure that Adrien only remembers him for the good things he did and she does. So now Adrien went from holding his father accountable for being the abusive and toxic father and person Gabriel is.. to viewing him as a great hero who helped Ladybug defeat Monarque on the expense of his own life.
You know, because Adrien himself COULDN'T be by her side. As Chat Noir. Because of his father. Who was MONARQUE!
Adrien even says he isn't sure how he could ever measure up to his father's greatness. Yeah, how nice that Marinette tells him he doesn't have to, but that doesn't make it any less fucked up that Adrien now went back to idolizing his abusive villain father AFTER Adrien was allowed to break free of him as Chat Noir.
Can you imagine if Monarch managed to corner Chat until he transformed back into Adrien, and Adrien has nowhere to run and no way to stop monarch from taking off his miraculous, so Adrien just...
...swallows it.
He swallows his ring, and while Monarch is stunned and debating whether or not to vivisect his own son or wait it out, that's what gives Ladybug just enough time to save the day.
Bold of you to assume that the moment plagg gets out of the ring and notices Adrien cornered by monerch the same monarch who's currently abusing tikki's powers, he wouldn't absolutely cataclysm the hell out of monarch
