OH MY GOD IM HAVING A HEART ATTACK

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting a Gruvia chapter so soon! I didn’t even think this was even a consideration! || I’m talking about the fact that Gray and Juvia were having an intimate moment with each other before he was sent to Edolas.

I thought we would get a Gruvia bonus chapter because Gajevy and Jerza got one (and Nalu will probably get one after this) but I didn’t think it would apply to the story like this! I feel like it’s special.

I think this chapter really revealed a lot like… a lot a lot about Gray and Juvia’s relationship. And oh my goodness it’s everything just, we manifested it all.

Looks like we see what goes down in private between them 👁👁 But really it seems like they are really intimate when they are alone together, or rather Gray let’s Juvia do her thing without being a tsundere about it

I just love how extra she is, and honestly this is how I would act too; it seems like this is just a habit of hers when they are alone lol

Can we take the time to bask in Gray’s embarrassment! Ugh I love it so so much! Juvia is literally all of us 💀

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THIS

oh my god- Fucking Lazy Gray gives me life because he practically relies on Juvia and it’s just perfect! No wonder he proclaims his love just anywhere.

Look at him all tipsy 💀 I never thought I’d see the day—

SHE COOKS FOR HIMMMM 😭 like ugh get married and have kids already

Nobody deserves Juvia, she is a god damn treasure. A fucking girlboss 😤

GOD THIS SCENE

What is Mashima and Ueda trying to do to us—

I can’t imagine how many of us are foaming at the mouthed because of this BONUS CHAPTER

This build up man.

What the hell is going on 😭 I can’t be filled with this much anticipation! We keep getting surprised, how far will Gray and Juvia’s relationship be taken!!!

We know they aren’t gonna kiss, we know that. Mashima doesn’t do genuine kisses but man he sure does everything else 💀

Gray what the hell are you gonna do! You are making such good progress!!! But what will it lead up to!!!

Us after reading reading this chapter:

[bbygirljuvi]

You don’t have to like gruvia but you can’t call THIS GIRL toxic

Juvia: is willing to leave gray forever, even willing to leave fairy tail if he didn’t wanted to see her ever again because she killed his father in order to save her friends and humanity.

Haters: that’s emotional abuse

Juvia: never pushed him to rush things up, always supportive about his goals

Haters: that’s toxic

Juvia: shared a house with him while (prbbly) knowing he likes her too but still never rushed things up. Always so patient.

Haters: eww she forced him to live with her.

Juvia: gray left her without saying anything and she even didn’t get mad at him. She was relieved he was okey. She was only concerned about his well being and didn’t even say a word about what she’ve been through.

Imagine being abandoned by someone you shared a life with. Doesn’t matter who they are it’s an awful thing and they need to pay for it but juvia didn’t even wanted an explanation. He said i will explain it later and she believed and accepted him like he never left. Over herself.

Haters: OMG EW she took his stripping habbit?? Thats exhibitionism. She literally sexually abused him omg. And she hugged him??? WHAT A BTCH.

Juvia: After all these thing, after all these mixed signals he gave her, never, not even for once rushed him to decide. Never declared her love for him verbally and but him in a “kokuhaku” situation

Haters: can’t you see how uncomfortable she makes him. She always pushes him to do thing he do not want to.

Juvia: when gray promised to give her an answer (finally) after war she understands and respect his goal of defeating E.N.D. and once again, didn’t push him. She always give respects and understanding to gray, maybe more than she should.

Haters: she get all excited about his leftovers??Stalker. 🤢

Juvia: Broke a magic that mavis couldn’t in order to save gray from burden of killing her. She was aware if she wouldn’t do anything he would killed her but still it was unacceptable for her because she knew gray couldn’t take that. So she build up her courage, she needed to build up because she WANTED to live but that wasn’t an option, and stabbed herself.

Haters: woaw was that supposed to be self-sacrificing? She did it in order to make gray love her. She’s abusive.

Juvia: after a near death experience, unable to walk alone first thing she needed to do was find gray to let him know she is okey. Because she knew how messed up gray was at that point. She knew how he felt. She always know better than he does.

Haters: okey now she is just forcing a baby to carry her for her selfish wants. Gray could have been wait. She is just showing off.

(cuz you know toxic side of the fandom also tends to act wendy as a baby.)

Juvia: Never pushed him for an answer HE PROMISED to give over a year ago because she knew his way of thinking and his anxieties. She is always too understanding when it comes to gray. And actually let him claim her even tho he never “actively” confessed to her. Because she knew. Because she always knew.

Haters: and now she’s using “stripping habit” as an excuse to sexually harass gray. Unbelievable how toxic this girl is. #protectgrayfromjuvia2K20

Shocking news: juvia isn’t the “problematic” one in this relationship

[cobblepottantrum]

Gruvia thought.

During the first battle with them, Juvia was about to fall off the roof before Gray saved her.

Now I know we all think this is cute, and it is but think about how sad that is.

Juvia who we see as constantly bubbly and happy and smiling at the guild, literally said “bye bye gloomy Juvia.” As she was about to die.

There was no “oh no I’m going to die” or anything like that. She was content with her death and just accepted it. She had no value on her life except for her use in Phantom Lord and when she “failed” death was the only option.

Just imagine her going back to the guild that day and rethinking everything. Her looking in a mirror wondering why she didn’t give a damn about herself when a stranger allowed for her life to worth.

Imagine Juvia breaking down in her room sobbing, wondering how she got to this point of allowing herself to feel nothing. The constant rain and sorrow that tormented her was now gone and she could finally breath.

Imagine her spending those days before fairy tail just outside staring at the sky. Everyone in PL just bewildered at one of their most hardcore members being distracted by the clear sky.

Imagine her walking and holding out her hand and not feeling rain and feeling the sun soak up into her skin.

Now every battle she faces is worth her living. Every day is new because she haven’t felt this was since she was a child.

Gray didn’t just give Juvia blue skies but put her value into her mind and allowed her to love herself.

Gray isn’t just her missing piece or soulmate but the person who showed her how to love and respect herself in a positive light.

He didn’t just save her life that day. He started her revival and gave her a chance to start living.

And that’s why I’ll always love Gruvia, because they took a character who was fine with death and made their life worth fighting for.

You think Juvia acts the way she does with Gray because she never really got any love. Like her whole life I'm guessing she didn't get any love or very little of it. She loves Gray I know but do you think she acted like this in the beginning because well she just wanted to know what love feels like? Sorry if that didn't make much sense and I kept repeating myself.

I think Juvia is a very loving person. We saw her being selfless about her own well-being many times throughout the story, thinking about others so she is a loving person by nature.

She had a lack of love, from we could see and maybe that’s why she’s so possessive of Gray. She finally found someone she loved so much and he is good, it’s nothing like that scumbag Bora…

…and I am sure she could sense Gray battling his inner demons and she could’ve turned and left, said: “I don’t need no more problems”.

But it’s Juvia.

Juvia, a sweet girl who was lost then found a family in Fairy Tail, who’d rather hurt herself than to hurt a friend. She wouldn’t leave Gray, not when he clearly needed someone that wouldn’t leave. 

I think she knew Gray needed her. He had a lot of friends, sure, and all of them would’ve helped him if necessary but Gray has a flaw: he didn’t ask for things. He didn’t ask for help, he thought he needed to get everything done on his own. I’m not talking about fighting in group, he was fine with that, I’m talking about the emotional stuff and Juvia was always there to support him.

She never hid her feelings for him, Juvia was always honest and she could see in him what other’s couldn’t and she helped him. Many characters helped Gray in his journey to get better and Juvia was an essential one.

I might be the one rambling now HAHA Sorry if this was confusing!

I’m gonna share my thoughts on what’s to come for Gruvia

“Here, take a seat”

Okay so, I’ve been loving the Gruvia content that’s been coming out. Truly I do, I’m living for it.

So much has happened for Gruvia, and Juvia (Our Juvia, the real Juvia) hasn’t even appeared in most of it

Gray has encountered so many versions of Juvia, and those who read my analyses religiously know that I’ve been theorizing something big about to happen between Gray and Juvia; because of this separation Gray has been confronted with future possibilities with Juvia. He was introduced to his hypothetical child that edolas Gray and Juvia gave birth to, and he’s straight up OBSESSED with Greige.

My big question is “What is gonna happen when Gray and Juvia reunite” That to me is something I ask myself as Gray’s Juvia Brain Rot continues to take over his brain. (Thanks to that Tumblr User who described Gray having Juvia Brain Rot)

There is just so much build up at this point, I can’t anticipate the possibilities anymore. Because it’s reached the peak for me and what ever happens will be underwhelming. As much I hope to see Gray run into Juvia’s arms to frantically ask if they could start a family that very second, I know deep down that’s not gonna happen. But like at this point it wouldn’t even be out of character.

He has said:

“Juvia means the World to Me”

“I swear, I’ll make her mine”

“She’s my Power to Live”

And now…

“I don’t want to be happy. I want to make Juvia happy.”

I wonder how far Hiro will take this. How far will he make Gray go to taking the initiative with Juvia head on. Gray has made massive progress about being open with his feelings towards Juvia. Gray can shout to the world about how dedicated he is to Juvia when she’s not there. When Juvia is there, it takes a bit out of him to say it with his chest.

There have been just a lot of foreshadowing regarding Gray’s Relationship with Juvia. At this point it’s about him making the move.

What Juvina said still haunts me to this day:

I know this line was to prompt Gray admitting to wanting to over come his insecurities before committing himself to Juvia, but I wonder if he’s overcoming that insecurity in Entir ( I think that’s where they are currently ) or if he’s in that process right now because he broke free of his “own selfish desires” for the sake of Juvia’s Happiness.

Possibly his insecurity lies within dealing with his past and feeling at fault for the loss of his loved ones. His pride crumbled while seeing Juvia die in his arms, and Gray now recognizes that he has a journey of overcoming who he used to be so he can become someone that can be part of a Future with Juvia. A future without guilt and self loathing.

That illusion was truly an ultimate test that I don’t think many of us have fully realized. Gray was given the option to live in a world forever where he is given the life he wanted. A life where his father didn’t have to die, where his teacher and the other one Ultear didn’t need to sacrifice themselves, and still have a future with Juvia and Gerige. All of the people he loves, without having any sadness or mourning to carry. PLUS it was on his birthday. I bet if he had chosen to stay in that illusion, he would blow out his birthday candle. Making a wish to stay there forever and solidifying the trance.

BUT HE DIDN’T, Gray rejecting that fantasy can be symbolic of letting go of his past and being content with himself enough to demand reality. He broke free from the “what if” of his literal past to make a real one. That’s why he said “I don’t want to be happy, I want Juvia to make happy.” He said this because Gray knew that fantasy didn’t amount to anything if he was going to end up hurting the only person he had left in his life. Juvia’s happiness is his happiness. That’s what that meant. What is the point of being happy if it ends up hurting someone you love. Gray had an ultimatum and made his choice.

Now all that is left is to see what’s going to happen within the future chapters. And honestly I have no clue what Gray will do next. He is becoming an unpredictable character regarding his limitations to showing his affirmation. More like Hiro is becoming unpredictable with what end he has in mind for Gruvia. I’m sweating bullets.

So this is what happened before Gray was transported 👁👁

I just realized some shit man.

So to fill in some gaps and refresh memories…

The Fairy Tail Girls went out to the hot spring and got shrunken by Brandish. Juvia split her self off from the group to see Gray.

And things happened

Lucy and Natsu found Brandish and got everyone back to normal

Gray spat out Juvia-

Anyway …moving on

The next chapter we see this panel of Gray being transported to Edolas

What thought had happened was the Gray and Juvia was just together at that moment after that incident happened. But there was more

This Panel

AND THIS PANEL

Are CONNECTED in CANON

That means after the incident, Either Gray to Juvia to his house or Gray and Juvia are still living together

Gray is more of a casual drinker than Juvia. It can’t be Juvia’s house because she would probably be living back at the dorm at Fairy Tail.

Now remember they slept in separate rooms when they lived together so that explains the one pillow.

But I think this is Gray’s House.

Which means Gray brought Juvia to his house. This is probably more than this time because I think men aren’t allowed in the female dorms.

Gosh my head is just whirling with head cannons now

So basically Gray brought Juvia of to his house so they could be alone with each other—

Since we know Gray is embarrassed with PDA, we know that they have a different relationship in private

Before Gray was transported to Eldoas he was going to promise Juvia something when he got back from his quest!!!

HE TOOK HER HOME TO MAKE THAT PROMISE

WHAT THE HELL WAS HE GOING TO PROMISE

[lei-z-fan]

Some Insight

As I was scrolling through I was seeing that some Gruvia fans wondering “why did Gray think of Juvia all of a sudden?”

Now not just because she lives rent free in his mind, I see that stripping is linked with the thought of Juvia. This is because she would often pick up his clothes for him. She would often take care of him like this because she is best girl she loves Gray that much. We even see it AS THE COVER

There she is with his jacket ready to give it to him. I feel like within this instance he never really appreciated as much until that moment when he realized what she would do for him. He was talking about the annoyance of someone stripping him down and how uncomfortable it is. Then he recalled to what did feel natural, then Lucy would nag him but then at that moment remembers what Juvia does for him. Even though that he saw Juvia as a pest to him, as he’s more open about his feelings Juvia becomes even more of a prominent part. It just really shows how much good Juvia is being in his life. Even though this was just two panels, it’s just everything when you step back.

[lei-z-fan]

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

WE GOT GRUVIA CONTENT

Honestly I think everyone was starving for some Gruvia content because we knew we wouldn’t get one for a while. So the fact that this happened so soon was extremely shocking and honestly I couldn’t believe my eyes. LETS GET DOWN TO ANALYSIS

I don’t know about you Gruvians but I have fantasized about this type of scenerio. We manifested this like come on. Like Oh my god, I don’t think it could be any more clear that Gray loves Juvia with all his heart. IN FACT, she is the only one IN his heart. His blush, his expression, the fact that he’s not denying or embarrassed of his feelings for her. I love how specific they went with “sleeping in the depths of your heart” like this isn’t some surface level feelings or what ever. ITS THOSE DEEP FEELINGS. (Like wanting to start a family with someone but haha it’s not like THATS been proven)

Not only did I find this funny, I also over analyzed this like a maniac. Because like Natsu loves his friends right, but so does Gray. Some how within that context with Natsu as an example; Lucy and Erza (maybe Mirajane) should be manifested for Gray too. Gray straight up loves his friends that’s a fact and he’s very protective of them as well. BUT only Juvia appeared for him. It really furthers as evidence that Juvia really is the only woman for him, she really is his world, she really is his power to live. I honestly can’t get enough of it, I want to see so many scenarios involving Gray’s feelings towards Juvia because it’s so refreshing and it never gets old.

This kinda threw me for a loop because I really wanted to see Gray struggle to fight Snow Juvia. Possibly that could have been his hurdle to get over (referencing my previous analysis and my theory) But I guess not. Ngl I’m sorta living for the fact that even though he acknowledges Juvia’s over the top affection so much that it can’t be replicated, even then implying that trait of hers is his weak spot 👀 possibly

Now back to counting the days until the next Gruvia Crumb 🧍🏻‍♀️⏳
