“Haven’t drawn in a long time! I think I’ve improved just a tiny bit. At least they don’t have sticks for fingers and now they’re more colorful and easier to see!!”

.. Halloween is probably the time Freed takes full revenge on Bixlow for all the teases/pranks he might have played on him. (and probably also the time these two bros gang up on Ever eve n mo re lmaO what idiots)
OMG YES. And of course, Bix never learns. Laxus probably just sits there every year shaking his head at all of them.
Halloween is their favourite event. No one has time for Christmas.
They probably have a tradition where they all just sit up getting drunk and eating way too much candy and sugary things too (y’know, after Freed has had his fun and after him and Bix have teased Ever all day). They probably all gang up on Laxus at the end of the night too... They’re still trying to scare him but it never works.
Technically the characters were headcanons and not opinions, but I’ll do it anyway!
Brutally honest opinion: Laxus was probably my first favourite character of FT, and he’s still one of my favourites. I kind of wish there was more actual character development for him, instead of just going from one extreme to the other as far as how he viewed the guild (like, I know it was there, but I just wish that it hadn’t been so straightforward).
I also wish that there’d been more actual moments with the Raijinshuu. They were kind of separated for a lot of it - and no, I’m not counting the Laxus/Raijinshuu spin-off.
I don’t know, though. I don’t really have that many negative things to say about Laxus? I mean, he probably needs to stop being so emotionally constipated but whatever.
(If you actually wanted the headcanons, just send another ask!)
character headcanons/brutally honest ship opinions.
"I'm going to need you to take these laxatives in order to deal with that emotional constipaton of yours" + LaLu?
This has been sitting in my drafts for so goddamn long… And I’m getting sick of looking at it, so here, have this bullshit excuse for a drabble (that i did admittedly have fun finishing off).

Lucy had accepted that Laxus wasn’t typically one for wearing his heart on his sleeve long before they’d started dating.
She’d accepted that he wasn’t going to be the type of man to take her out on extravagant, spur of the moment dates; or bring her flowers whenever he returned from a mission with the Raijinshuu; or even tell her that he loved her just because he could.
When they went to Freed and Evergreen’s wedding and he didn’t so much as hug either of them and express how happy he actually was deep down - really, really, really deep down… Well, Lucy accepted that too, and thought, ‘Well, maybe he’s just not a weddings guy.’ He certainly wasn’t a marriage guy either, as far as Lucy knew; he’d flat out told her he didn’t want to be married to her after four fucking months together. (And of course, that event had been a complete disaster and Laxus had quickly realised the mistake of his words when Lucy had run off in tears thinking that Laxus really hated her.)
And when Lucy told him she was finally pregnant, after a year of trying, and when all Laxus did was pick her up and give her an almost bone-crushing hug, kissing the spot where her neck met her shoulder while just fucking standing there in the middle of their bathroom - Lucy once again accepted the fact that Laxus just wasn’t one for expressing his emotions, even if it really did hurt her that time.
But there were only so many times Lucy could accept that Laxus was a total assface most of the time. And when Laxus didn’t so much as smile when their daughter finally said her first proper word one afternoon during playtime - which also did happen to be ‘Dada’ - Lucy knew she had reached the final straw. So after trying not to cry tears of happiness over her daughter’s language development, Lucy quickly shot up from the lounge, grabbed her keys and purse, told Laxus she’d be back shortly, and walked out the door.
Twenty minutes later, Lucy was walking back into the cosy home she shared with the grumpy dragon slayer, and then tossing a small box she’d picked up from the pharmacy to him for it to land on his chest and distract him from the show on the lacrima-vision.
“Oi, what’s this?” Laxus grumbled as his fingers fumbled with the edges of the box to pick it up and examine it.
Lucy merely ducked down to pick up her daughter before answering as she walked back towards the stairs, “I’m going to need you to take those laxatives for that emotional constipation of yours.” Because really, the guy must’ve been backed up to the extreme.
Laxus opened his mouth to shout a response (maybe tell the other blonde where she could put the damn laxatives), but quickly closed it again when he realised that he didn’t even have a response. So he just scoffed under his breath and sunk into his comfortable lounge once again, turning his attention back to the show in front of him.
Moments later though, Laxus couldn’t help but pick up the box of laxatives on his chest again to read the directions on the back of it, glancing over his shoulder every few moments just to make sure Lucy didn’t catch him and be given a reason to be annoyingly smug.
Could you please do number 20 for Fraxus? That would be awesome! I love your writing <3
Okay, I will admit, this didn’t end up going the way I thought it would when I first started thinking about what to write for it. But I think this works… sort of. And for my first time writing Fraxus, I’m reasonably happy with it… even if it is probably way too OOC (but hey, that’s what headcanons are for, right?).
Anyway, I hope you like it, and thanks for the request! 💜
#20. You’re too damn cute.

The birth of the little Seith mage (or Celestial Spirit mage, if you talked to the kid’s mother) had been a wonderful event for pretty much everyone in Fairy Tail. For Laxus, it had been an amazing event, just because it gave Bickslow less time to actually annoy him, what, with being a parent to a newborn and all.
It wasn’t long before the two new parents did have to return to their old lives as guild mages… Or more accurately, they both just really needed a day off from the tiny human they’d created, and taking a simple one-day job together in the next town had been way too appealing. Of course, that had just meant they’d be needing a babysitter for the day, and much to Laxus’ disgust, Freed had volunteered them for the task. Damn that demon…
Once Freed had returned to their little cottage with the screaming child, Laxus had instantly retreated to the opposite side of the house and made use of his SoundPod. As far as Laxus was concerned, Freed was the one that had volunteered them, so Freed could be the one to look after the damn poop machine.
And, that had been exactly what had happened for the first few hours. Freed had kept the baby occupied, and Laxus had… sulked.
But then Freed had had to run an errand of the highest importance, apparently, and then Laxus was left sitting in his bedroom and staring at the drooling, fidgeting, weird-noise making creature that somehow looked exactly like her father. It was the damn eyes.
Thankfully, it had been nap time again for the kid, so Laxus’ shift had been easy. All he’d had to do was really check every so often to make sure she hadn’t rolled off onto the floor from where her makeshift bed had been made on the middle of his own. Of course though, things had gotten worse after that, because after nap time came changing time, and by Mavis had Laxus been cursing his heightened Dragon Slayer senses right then.
When Freed returned home just a few hours later, he half expected the house to be in disarray - leaving his husband with a four-month-old baby had just seemed like the worst idea ever. But when he reached the bedroom at the back of the house, he was completely shocked. But in a good way.
Because Laxus was playing with the baby - or really, he was tickling her, but the kid was giggling and Laxus was smiling and holy fucking shit what is going on here? And maybe the best part for Freed was that even with Laxus’ heightened senses, he was too preoccupied with the baby in front of him that he didn’t even notice him standing in the doorway.
“You’re just too damn cute, you know that?” Even if he was still grumbling a little, it was still pretty damn genuine, and Freed was completely lost for words as he watched Laxus continue to tickle and snuggle his god-daughter. “It’s a good thing Blondie’s your mother, because Bix sure as hell ain’t cute.”
Once Freed did manage to find his voice though, just making his presence known with a gentle cough, Laxus merely glanced in his direction before sitting up suddenly and composing himself. His cheeks were red (just like his hands), and Freed now couldn’t help but smirk as he watched his husband pick up the baby and hold her out to him.
“Oh, finally. You’re back,” he grumbled. “Kid’s hungry.”
Freed could only snicker quietly as he took the child in his arms and turned to watch Laxus disappear down the hall to the rest of their house. How the kid managed to wear Laxus down so quickly, Freed had no idea, but he was most definitely going to pester Laxus about it later. He could let his grumpy husband pretend he hadn’t been caught red-handed snuggling a baby and enjoying it for a little while.
