It's Freed! I admittedly thought I wasn't gonna be able to draw him (in a manner I liked), especially since finding a reference pose was a tiny bit hard. I'm pleased with the result though!
The same goes for his blinkie-ified screenshots

[ Raijinshuu Archive / Official Art ] A Raijinshuu doodle on the bottom on Mashima's grocery memo!
Source: Hiro Mashima's Twitter/X [06/22/17] Fun Fact: This doodle is 9 years old today! Which... wow. Typing that out really drives home how long ago 2017 was... 😶
It's Evergreen! I wanted to draw the rest of the Thunder Legion but I figured I'll make individual themed posts of them. I find it a little more fun this way.
There's some blinkie gif-ified screenshots under the cut. ( and some doodles) ദ്ദി(˵•̀ ᴗ -˵)
It's Bickslow! I had the tiniest bit of a hard time making the blink-ified screenshots but once I got through the start I ended up pretty pleased!
As for the drawing..Every now and then I randomly remember how he has stellar balance and strength. I don't know why but I kinda imagine him being able to contort into odd poses for fun. So that's what I ended up with ( ; •̀ᴗ•́ )✧
(I'm oddly satisfied, it's nothing extraordinary but I idk ¯\(º_o)/¯)
⚠️ FT 100YQ- Ch. 213 Spoilers! ⚠️
No, Bickslow isn't in this chapter. Gif is relevant tho. Just something interesting I noticed in the latest 100YQ chapter that wanted to use as an excuse to ramble about Bickslow’s magic~!
For the record, I have not been reading the 100YQ. I do, however, skim the chapters when I learn Laxus or the Raijinshuu are involved in any way. Which is why I ended up skimming this latest chapter. I heard that Laxus was in it and wanted to see what he was up to... And lo and behold...

How the new short story Re:Fantasia is going to go
Already have another update on the upcoming mini-serialization! The title has been announced!
🎉 Fairy Tail Re: Fantasia!
So I can only assume the Laxus-centered story will be revisiting the Harvest Festival?
After the BoFT… there never really got to do another Harvest Festival or Fantasia Parade… I wonder if this will bring back guilt and regret for Laxus and the Raijinshuu?? Cause, y’know… last time they tried hurt everyone and take over the guild.
It’s been so long since then and they’ve all grown as characters… but this will probably be a sore spot for all of them. Though, especially Laxus, if I had to guess.
Gah! I swear the Raijinshuu better play a big part in this!!! This could be so great for their characters and a full development from the original Battle of Fairy Tail years ago!! I’m so excited!
First chapter releases in WSM: July 29th!!
Imagine this starts off with Laxus and the Raijinshuu still feeling guilty from their actions years ago even though everyone has already forgiven them. And, after the events in the story (whatever trouble/chaos Mashima has cooking for the story), the four of them will finally get to participate in the Fantasia Parade after all this time!
I know I said I didn't want to get my hopes up, but I honestly can't help but be excited! I always hoped Mashima would revisit the Harvest Festival one day. And now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that the Raijinshuu will be treated like actual characters. Not the dumbed down mis-characterization that we've been seeing in the 100YQ.
This is the perfect opportunity to let their story go full circle. To show how much they've grown since their introduction years ago. (And maybe to hint that Laxus may be the next guild master...? I hope so, honestly.)
I'm also curious about what kind of trouble will be stirred up for the guild this time? I can't wait to find out!

So, I have some exciting news ~!
⚡️ 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.

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 ~ ❤︎
I know I haven’t been active since forever and I don’t plan on coming back but I need to ramble over something I don’t get over it.
You will be informed it is about Evergreen and the rest of the tribe.
Evergreen will always be my favorite character. She is beautiful, strong, complicated, she is witty. Anyway she is a character that I find really interesting because she has so many layers. She is complexe and she always be my favorite character in animé of all time.
But watching or reading fairy tail is really frustrating when you are a fan of her and the rest of the Raijinshuu tribe.
They are side characters I get it but please first time they were introduced they destroyed a guild in one shot! They didn’t even blink an eye and then they became this weaklings and I don’t get it!
Evergreen did fight Erza and sorry to say but she did great at that fight! Sure she isn’t strong as Erza but please she is still powerful and how people are rating her so low in term of strength is really annoying.
Also I got really frustrated during that time that in the anime they made at the end this postcard of female character. Why in god’s name after that episode about the raijinshuu tribe that postcard wasn’t Evergreen? Why ? Why Yukino ? (I have nothing against Yukino but yeah that is annoying)
Also in the new anime for the last arc of fairy tail. Many scenes where cut... And I didn’t forget the fact that they didn’t show us the Raijinshuu in Blue Pegasus! I do wanted to see that interaction between Jenny and Evergreen.
But the scene I still don’t get over it because this is unfair. It is the moment Evergreen is the one initiating the Fairy circle telling everyone to hold hands. Ok sure we did see her hand taking Elfman but what she was suppose to say was given to Erza! I mean that moment was such a big moment for character development and they completely ruined it. So frustrating!
Other thing I don’t understand is why in the spin off fairy girls it is always about the same girls ! Why didn’t we have the chance to see more about the other girls than the main cast ? Sure she was in Laxus spin off and I’m grateful for it but the story is mostly about Laxus. I mean there is great character development for the Raijinshuu but yeah I wish we had more about them. Their past... but still it was a great spin off.
Another thing that I’m so disappointed and angry, it is about the new fairy tail game. The one on PlayStation, switch, etc... So I bought the game because I was excited about the fact that we would have finally a game about the manga. I was also super happy to know that it would start with the ending of my favourite arc Tenro Island. I was foolish enough to buy the game hoping to see the Raijinshuu. Well I wasn’t expecting to see my favorite team who had a role in the tenro arc being cut of the game. Seriously they made a new fairy tail circle without putting Evergreen Fried and Bixlow! Why ? This is sooo unfair! I mean gosh I wanted to see them I bought game especially for them and we don’t have them!
Anyway, I suppose I have to learn to accept the fact that my babies will never be treated rightfully.
Last thing I wanted to talk about is about the fact that Elfever is such an underrated ship and that it is sad to see that they are amazing together. They are so close to canon I mean even in the fairy tail zine it was written that their was a mutual love interest. But since foreve we don’t count them in the big 4 or de big 5. Some people are saying that they are less canon than Miraxus. Sorry but they are even more canon than some main ships...
Anyway that was my time for rambling about everything around the subject. I will always love Evergreen, the Raijinshuu and Elfever. I wish their was more credit given to them from the fandom and even the creator.
An Official BoFT Laxus Poster Featured in a Special Editon of Weekly Shonen Magazine!

✦ Ikki Yomi (一気読み) is a Japanese phrase that translates to "read it all at once!" or "read in one sitting." The edition of WSM contains the all the BoFT chapters (103-130). Which is why the Laxus poster features a bunch of manga panels from that arc.
