LUCY HEARTFILIA BEST GIRL

[thenalushipper]

Being a shipper of Mashima’s most famous ship is stressful.

Some days I act like I’m alright but deep down I just want NaLu to officially be a couple in the main story.

I’m tired of being trolled.

[thenalushipper]

Nothing but fanservice moments you say, well what is this?

How could you not see what we see even if you don’t ship them?

[mycomicbook]

“You were great… Thanks to you, I realized that we can fight in this world. Zero points? That makes it fun, don’t you think? We’re gonna turn it around from this point on.”

She's in his thoughts 24/7. At this point, Lucy is a virus with no cure.

[slaymefilia]

Natsu didn’t friend zone Lucy!

I’ve seen lots of debate in the fairy tail tag today over whether NaLu is actually canon or not, so I wanted to share my opinion!

*WARNING: This is a long one!*

Personally, I believe NaLu is canon, but not in your stereotypical “I love you” “I love you too” confession and makeout session kind of way. Ever since Natsu and Lucy first started acting like a couple and were shipped, we know that the pair have zero experience with love. Neither have ever been in a relationship, and therefore don’t really know how to act when confronted with the idea of one. Lucy has a slim idea, after her early fantasies of a “knight in shining armour” figure, however Natsu is completely oblivious. I think Natsu and Lucy both share an idea on what love is, but neither can properly tell when they are in love unless when the moment is right.

So here comes Chapter 545! Of course Lucy got incredibly emotional when thinking back to the jobs:

Which is only natural, the poor girl has been through so much and just at the thought of going on another job brought back so many memories and tears to her eyes.

So what does she do? The only thing she can do:

Embrace and thank the man who made it all possible; Natsu.

At this moment, with all the memories flooding back into her, Lucy is finally coming to terms with her feelings for Natsu. She loves him. She loves him out of pure gratitude for everything he’s ever done for her, and for being her first ever friend. As Lucy said herself, if she’d never met Natsu, none of her life would have been possible; she wouldn’t have joined Fairy Tail, she wouldn’t have made friends, she wouldn’t have grown stronger, and she probably wouldn’t have won the best writer award!

And Natsu knows this.

Of course initially he pulls his signature “o shit” face because Lucy is crying and he’s not really sure what to do. 

But this isn’t necessarily a look of “o shit” because he’s uncomfortable or feels awkward. Both him and Happy look incredibly concerned, from their creased eyebrows to the bead of sweat dripping from them. So why is he pulling that face? Because he is confronted with love.

As I said before, Natsu has had no experience with love before, therefore when Lucy hugs him and tells him how much she appreciates him, he doesn’t know how to react.

Now, the next part I think is the most important:

Of course Natsu has never been one to give Lucy any form of personal space, and here is certainly no exception. But this scene is different from all the others. Natsu respects Lucy more than anyone else in the guild, therefore if he were to tease her or invade her personal space, it’s purely in a jokey scenario. This scene here though? This isn’t a joke. Natsu and Lucy are being serious. So that merely means that Natsu leaning in is not a way to tease her, he is being serious with her, a trait rarely shown by the dragon slayer unless in combat.

Now, you’d all be lying if you said you didn’t think Natsu was going to kiss Lucy on the next page, because at this point I was screaming at him to kiss her and this is the point most people believe Natsu rejected Lucy. But in my opinion, it’s the complete opposite.

As I said, Natsu has had no experience with love, so the time he is actually faced with it (right now), he’s not joking around, he’s not teasing, because he has finally realised how Lucy feels. Granted I don’t think he’s absolutely certain, and here’s why:

When Natsu leans in - I promise this isn’t my NaLu senses taking over - I believe he was actually planning to kiss her, like many of us hoped. However, I think he changed his mind at the last minute, purely because he doesn’t want to hurt Lucy. He knows she’s in a vulnerable situation, and he would hate more than anything to make her more upset and tearful than she already is. Natsu knows that he loves Lucy, and is starting to think she returns those feelings, but he doesn’t want to confess when she’s in such a state and all emotional. He doesn’t want to hurt and/or confuse her.

Now let’s discuss Lucy’s feelings towards all this. Throughout the entire Alvarez arc she’s being toying with her feelings towards Natsu, as to whether they’re strictly platonic or whether there’s something more. This is the point where she’s considering perhaps there is something more. She’s so overwhelmed with gratitude and emotions she’s finally putting two and two together and deciding she is in love with her best friend. When Natsu leans in, she thinks he’s about to kiss her. How do we know?

This. The face she makes. You can interpret this however many ways you like, I’m definitely not saying mine is the correct way, but I’ll explain my theory.

Lucy’s contemplating her feelings again when she says “Wait”, but stops in the middle of her sentence. Why? Because she’s panicking. She - much like Natsu - has never had any experience with love, never had a boyfriend, and never had her first kiss. She thinks Natsu is going to kiss her, so what does she do? She closes her eyes and leaves her mouth open. She’s waiting for him to kiss her, so she can properly decide how she feels. She wants Natsu to kiss her.

Need more evidence?

She thought he was going to do something interesting.

What kind of interesting thing were you thinking, Lucy?  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

However, what really ties the knot, (see what I did there), about Natsu’s feelings towards Lucy is this:

He wants them to be together forever.

Natsu and Lucy wouldn’t have a stereotypical love confession because they are not a regular couple. Natsu saying he wants to be with Lucy forever just about proves that he loves her. And let’s not forget who else said they wanted to be with their significant other forever:

And who are together and trying for a baby in the final chapter?

From the words they speak to the expression they make, Natsu in no way friend zoned Lucy.

I believe he confessed to her, but in his own sweet, dense little way! He’s too inexperienced to know how to properly confess, and although he initially considered kissing her, it’d be far more like him to aggravate Lucy but confess his love at the same time. After all, he can’t resist teasing her!

Hopefully this put some of your minds at ease, let me all know your opinions and theories, I’d love to hear them! <3

Top Ten Nalu Moments

(Note: These are just my personal favorites) 

10. From Episode 86: Erza v. Erza

This is in the Edolas arc. Lucy worries over Natsu after she and Gray find him and Wendy unconscious. It isn’t one of the main Nalu moments in the series, but for some reason I always remembered this. It also made a really cute screenshot. 

9. From Episode 83: Extalia 

“If you so much as put a scratch on Lucy, I’ll turn you all into cinders” -Natsu Dragneel 

Apparently Hughes and the rest of the Edolas gang didn’t get the memo, but one does not simply say that Lucy is going to be executed. I can count on one hand the number of legitimate death threats Natsu has made throughout the series, and all of them have been somehow related to Lucy’s safety.  

8. From Episode 173: Battle of Dragon Slayers

Natsu goes to see Lucy in the infirmary before his battle against Sting and Rogue in the Grand Magic Games. She tells him that she’s always believed in him since she first joined the guild, but we don’t find out that’s what she said until later.

7. From Episode 3: Infiltrate the Everlue Mansion 

The legendary team is born! Natsu and Lucy officially become partners and take their first real quest together. 

6. From Episode 73: Rainbow Sakura

Lucy catches a cold and can’t go to the rainbow sakura viewing party with everyone else in the guild. So what does Natsu do? He uproots the city’s prized tree and floats it down the river so she could look at it from her window! This is why I reject the notion that Natsu can’t be romantic. This is among the most romantic things I’ve ever seen and HE’S NOT EVEN TRYING.

Just imagine how he’s gonna propose to her someday.

5. From Episode 119: Realm of the Abyss 

After his attack on Master Hades Natsu is exhausted and almost falls off a ledge. Lucy catches him, and loving looks ensue. What I find most interesting about this moment is that it shows how attentive Lucy is to Natsu. Erza, Gray, and Wendy were also there but no one else noticed him swaying and knew he was going to fall at that moment. 

4. From Episode 198: Fields of Gold

After the Eclipse Gate is destroyed future Lucy’s body disappears and she’s reunited with her Natsu in the golden plains of paradise. Right after this, present Lucy feels tears on her face and runs up to Natsu, hugging him from behind. He asks her, “What’s wrong?” and she replies, “Nothing. Just a feeling…thank you.“ 

3. From Episode 159: Lucy v. Flare

After Lucy “loses” her fight against Flare (loses is in quotation marks because we all know Lucy didn’t actually lose that fight, and I’m still mad about it lol) everyone is laughing at her, and Natsu goes into the stadium to praise and encourage her. She also uses his catchphrase, “I’m fired up” which is among the most adorable things that’s ever happened. Period. 

2. From Episode 22: Lucy Heartfilia 

Ahh, the super trust fall. It was at this moment, precisely, that Nalu dethroned Sasusaku as my otp of otps. Lucy, who’d been captured by the Phantom Lord guild, jumps out of the insanely high window of her sky prison because she KNEW Natsu would be there to catch her. Even if you don’t ship them romantically, the mutual trust between these two is one of the most beautiful things about their relationship. 

1. From Episode 109: Lucy Fire 

Where does one even begin with this episode? First we have Natsu and Lucy teaming up again, despite working against each other during the S-class trial. Then, in their battle against Kain, Natsu gets pinned down by some boulders and he tells Lucy to run away. She replies that she won’t run because it’s more fun when they’re together. Then we get to see her using his dragon slayer magic (kind of). Kain’s commentary about them acting like a couple is just the icing on the cake.

[penguilie]

Let’s remember how Lucy is the HERO of the Grand Magic Games arc. It's because of her everyone made out alive and the ten thousand dragons didn't destroy their future.

If future Lucy didn't came back from the future, Natsu, Lucy and the others would have taken the wrong path and ended up in front off Eclipse were they can't use their power, then would be caught and couldn't stop Rogue.

Lucy is the one who closed the gates with the help of Yukino. Because of her, only seven dragons made it instead of ten thousand. She is the one who didn't stupidly believe what future Rogue said and made her own research and opinion about Eclipse.

Future Lucy' sacrifice is the reason why Lucy was able to made it alive and close the door. If they both died, the princess would have open the gates and no one would have been able to closed it.

Of course it's Natsu who defeated future Rogue and broke the gates. But without the help of future and present Lucy, he wouldn't be able to do that. Remember, in the other future, he literally died.

I always see people talking about how she was robbed because the won none of her fights and never about how she is the one who saved everyone ass

[penguilie]

The way my girl went from struggling to summon two spirits one after the others (like not even simultaneously)

To being able to summon three spirits at the same times

As well as being one of the first (if it’s not the first) celestial wizard to use star dresses

And now in 100 Years Quest she can mix her star dresses which literally give her so much more potential  

Also, right now for her summoning two spirits simultaneously is NOTHING. She does it so effortlessly. 

She is the one who made the most progress in the guild ! So proud of her <3

[penguilie]

Lucy against Jackal will forever be my favorite fight in the whole serie <3

It was such an amazing fight from the start to the end. Her luckily being the only survivor, fighting alone against 2 demons and the other thing, opening 3 gates simultaneously, summoning the celestial king in order to save her friends by sacrificing Aquarius, one of her most precious friend, unlocking star dress and wining against jackal with urano metria. Like everything in this fight was just perfect?? She was just amazing in this fight and with the discover of star dress it was an opening of how her magic can improve.

That’s why I’m still so mad at Mashima for not giving her a real proper fight like this one in the final arc.. During the disband, she trained hard to unlock all of her star dress, I was hoping she could have a big fight where we would have been able to see her full potentiel not just some small fights or the one against Brandish.

At least in 100 years quest she have some really good fight but I still wish she had gotten more in the original serie :(

[nalunalu]

I will literally never get over how Lucy looks at Natsu

[nalunalu]

Here’s to many more Lucy day arts in our future <3
