whenever we finish, he’ll always refuse to go back home because i made him come all the way here and say that i should show some respect and hospitality. so he always ends up taking over my living room and eating scrap metal from my garage while i make us actual food.

he’s not picky when it comes to food, he’ll really eat anything. he doesn’t like soups as much, but he’ll eat it anyways. i don’t know if he had a favorite, because when i do ask him if there’s something specific he wants, he’ll just say “make that thing from the other day” and it’s usually always something different. he likes a kick, but not overly spicy. he says he likes to enjoy his food, not suffer through it.

when it comes to juvia, she is someone who doesn’t have a lot of self confidence and is very shy when it comes to expressing herself and putting herself out there. there’ll be times where she wants something but feels like she can’t ask. gajeel is the type of person to notice that and either motivates her to get/ask for it or will get it for her and give her words of encouragement.

he’s not soft with his affection, but he tries makes it obvious that he is on your side, even if it’s a little blunt or harsh. he might say something like “if you want something, you gotta speak up and take it. you can’t just expect people to read your mind and hand things to you.” in a gruff ass voice that makes it seem like he’s irritated, but he’s really not. he’s kind of bad at being gentle and has accidentally made kids cry LMAO

he’s also a lot more honest that i think some people expect. he’s very upfront about a lot of his thoughts and feelings, unless it’s something he finds really embarrassing. but there’s not much that he does find embarrassing because i think he values authenticity.

he also has no problems playing the bad guy if it means helping someone he cares about, whether it’s being antagonistic towards them so they can realize something or being antagonistic towards others to help someone he cares about achieve a goal. i wouldn’t say he has a moral compass that points to right or wrong, more one that points to his friends side versus the other side.

if his friends/group are on one side, even if it’s the wrong side, that’s the side he’ll be on. if you asked him to burn a town down, if you’re determined to do it, he’ll help you out. i never got to the phantom lord arc in my dr, so im super curious how it would’ve played out. the only person he gaf in fairy tail was me, but i often mentioned the people in my guild, so idk if that would deter him or not actually. i feel like it would, especially because of how big of a betrayal he knows that would be to me. but i feel like he’d be really conflicted about it because he feels like jose gave him a home and that he owes him for it.

he’s a super loyal person. and also annoying. he’ll sometimes lounge around my house for days when he doesn’t feel like going back to his guild and will refuse to shower. he’ll start funking my place up unless i douse him with water and force him to go shower. just sitting there on my couch bumming around and picking his nose. he doesn’t do it all the time, just when he knows he has nothing to do for a while or doesn’t want to do anything for a while.

having a best friend who makes iron is so fire as a mechanic because whenever i need parts and he’s around, i’ll just get him to make them for me. sometimes it’s difficult to explain exactly what i need, but for simple things it’s so nice. sometimes he’ll be like “since i helped you, you gotta do this,” and if it’s stupid i’ll just say no. he’ll try a couple more times but eventually give up. he won’t ever actually force someone to do something they don’t want to do. unless he doesn’t gaf about that person, then he doesn’t care.

but i also don’t really turn him down that often because hanging out with him is honestly very fun. he’s so fucking goofy sometimes, it’s stupid. he looks like this scary tough guy, but he acts like such a kid sometimes. he also loves to pick on and tease his friends. when i said before he likes to think of himself as my older brother, i mean it bc tell me why he’s given me actually noogies before. like will put me in a headlock and drag me around while rubbing his hard ass knuckles into my scalp.

we don’t have problems with physical touch with each other genuinely because we’ve fought so many times. it’s like watching two little kids fight at the dinner table sometimes. if one of us are trying to get a good look at something or something, the other will just shove them out of the way and vice versa until we start scrapping. we’re always fighting it’s actually kind of ridiculous 😭😭

we don’t even have a reason to most of the time, it’s just kind of fun. it’s not fun getting punched in the face with that fuck ass glove with those big ass screws, but other wise, yeah it’s kind of fun. the piercings are in fact actual screws and he’s had them since he was a kid. i’ve helped him change them out a few times over the years if they rust or chip or something, but yeah.

the type to just randomly drop my, take all of my shit, and just leave? i barely ever know if he’s just passing by from a job or if he came solely for that bc he won’t answer me. it deadass feels like he’s going grocery shopping through my place sometimes. he likes to use excessive amounts of my products when he’s over too, especially my hygiene products. he’ll use half a bottle of shampoo and conditioner (i get giant bottles because i have a lot of hair and my exceeds use it too) in one wash and i’m just like ???

also uses my lotion and body oils on his dry ass skin and says it makes him feel polished. i bought him some one time and his face like actually lit up. i dont think he actually buys much stuff for himself, idk if its because he feels like he doesn’t need to or what, but he is always grateful when someone goes out of their way to get him something or thinks about him while they’re out and brings him something.

like the rest of the dragon slayers, he’s a hoarder. but he’s actually pretty neat about it, so it doesn’t feel like it. he’s surprisingly organized. he really only buys necessities and doesn’t splurge often. i think he prefers to spend his money on other people rather than himself because when we’re out, he’ll just pay for stuff without asking and barely complains. he only really complains when i ask him to pay for something.

he’s adverse to touch from people he doesn’t know, unless something so out of pocket is happening that he barely registers it. he can get along with new people easily he just doesn’t really care to keep up with people he doesn’t care about that much

he’s very chill to hang out with. he’s a soft drunk and more openly affectionate. he likes spending quality time with people and doesn’t like when it’s interrupted by something stupid or trivial. will leave an uncomfortable situation or if he feels like there isn’t a place for him. he doesn’t stay where he feels unwanted.

when we make songs together they always come out so silly because i can’t help but enable his dumb ideas. some of them actually come out really nice and have a nice jazz feel, and some of them are straight nonsense. i’ve tried teaching him to drum but he’s like overly aggressive with it and keeps breaking my shit and i’m tired of replacing it. he’s literally not like that with anything else, so idk what his problem is 😭😭 he’ll blame it on the kit too and just say that it’s my fault for not getting a better quality one. like okay ig

his guitar is hand made and he did it basically all by himself. he’d come to me with questions and ask for my input but like refused to let me help him much. i did get to paint it though.

i got memories of us with acnologia and how close we are as a family. the nights where we would stay huddled up in our little cave, playing games under the blanket while we waited for our dad to come back with food. memories of learning how to roar together, how happy he was for me when i did it before he did, how he tackled me for making fun of his little baby puff of magic he called a roar. i got memories of training sessions with acno that were actually just us playing because he’s the biggest softie when it comes to us. i even remember what it was like to find acnologia gone that day and meeting zeref and merenia for the first time.

i feel like ive been getting a lot of information about him lately, and when i try to think about certain aspects of his personality, its like it just comes to me as if i know all along. i barely have to think about it, its just there. which is very unusual for me bc if i don’t know something, i gotta analyze and analyze and think and think some more. i’m the biggest overthinker when it comes to everything, but i really don’t have to think much about this. idk if anyone else has experienced this with a dr, but let me know cuz i was a little thrown off by the suddenness.

when i’ve mediated recently and just tried to connect to my dr, ive been getting a lot of sun and moon themes in visions and dreams. when i think about it in relation to us, it makes a lot of sense to me. for an obvious one, i was born shortly after sunset, just when the suns light fully disappeared and the moon was the primary source of light. this i’ve known to be true since forever. my brother, when i think about him or back to memories with him and acnologia or merenia, im always seeing a setting sun behind him.

it’s just above the horizon, slowly dipping past it until the sky turns to orange, then purple. whenever i try to think about nighttime memories where the sun isn’t there, its always fuzzy. and i’ve been trying to trust my senses and intuition more, so im assuming there’s a reason i always seeing him at sunset when thinking of past memories. but whenever i see him in the more present day, its always midday, with the full brightness of the sun, or it’s nighttime and we’re just chilling.

i actually don’t know wtf that means tbh, i’m tryna make it make sense but i don’t know how. i also have another thought about the sun and moon thing, but i don’t know how to put it into words, but i think it is very fitting. a lot of my thoughts are just feelings and like broken sentences, so it’s kind of hard sometimes 😭

anyways, here are more memories i have of him and just other stuff i know about him. one of my more recent ones is of him, me, juvia, and gajeel having a picnic in some sort of grassy, bowl like area. we were drinking smoothies or milkshakes and had a little basket on the end of the table with wrappers strewn around. me and twin were sitting on one side and haskell and juvia were sitting on the other side, gajeel across from me and juvia across from twin. gajeel was like half up and leaning over the table because we were arguing about something and i was being annoying asf while arguing back. it was over something unserious like a show or comic or something because i’m pretty sure we were talking about characters.

twinnie decided to chime in on gajeel’s side and i remember being like offended because i knew he agreed with me. then i see this stupid smirk on his face so i splash with him water (presumably with my magic bc i don’t remember seeing water anywhere). anyways he gets pissy and we start tussling, literally rolling around and pulling hair and shit. gajeel was cheering him on and telling him to get me while juvia was like trying to stop us but also not really trying to get involved, i love her so bad 😭. gajeel is my biggest opp istg.

i’m also taller in this for some reason, so it’s not a crazy difference. he’s like six foot ish? because he’s like just around the same height as gajeel, if not a tiny bit shorter. i wasn’t that far off, so i think like 5’7-8. which is kinda crazy bc im like 5’1 in this reality and i was like 5’4 in my og fairy tail dr. anyways, yeah we stopped after he rolled onto a big rock and it dug into his back bc i had my weight on him. idk what happened after that, but we were back at the table and i just remember juvia like giving him this soft ass smile. i hope it’s not a crush or anything because i genuinely don’t know if it’ll work out and she’s my girl and takes rejection very to heart, i don’t want her to get hurt.

on that topic, what i’ve also gotten is that he’s never been in a relationship? not even because he can’t pull, because i know he can, he just chooses not to. i was trying to find out more about this and i think its just that no one peaks his interest. i was wondering abt this and i got a memory (?) of coming back from visiting sting and rogue with him. we either had just gotten off the train and were at the train station or we were passing through some sort of shopping district. but either way, we got stopped by like a group of girls around our age holding shopping bags and they were just like “omg are you guys from fairy tail?” and started talking, mostly to him.

i think it was def the train station because i remember feeling over it and just not in a mood to talk. i have a pretty bad case of rbf, so they just barely talked to me. he doesn’t actually like talking to people he doesn’t know, but he does it anyways to come off more pleasant? like he does it just enough to leave a good impression, but like casually shuts down any ideas of like hanging out or anything. he’s honestly pretty slick. but yeah, he said something about me being hangry (no???) and us having to go, so they ended up leaving. he smiles a lot when we’re with strangers and then lets that shit drop as soon as they’re gone, he’s so fake 😭😭.

one of them was trying to set up a thing with him, mentioning they were coming to magnolia to visit family and that he should show her around or something and he was just like “i’m a busy guy, but if i see you i might say hi,” or some bs like that knowing damn well if he sees her he’s just gonna keep it pushing. but yeah, i thought they were all very pretty, so i think i asked him something like what was that about and just got a shrug? and i just get the feeling that that’s about what usually happens. the closest i’ve seen him get to being interested in a girl is with cana, but i think the drinking puts him off.

after that, i started wondering about his relationship with other girls in the guild, so here’s what i think i got.

mira: she’s pretty, sensitive, tries a lot (?), and is hard working. he admires her dedication to her family. they aren’t particularly close. he found her annoying during her she-devil era

erza: he thinks she’s powerful and strong. he finds her endearing in a little sister type way. he doesn’t get very intimidated by her threatening side. he’d say she’s one of the girls he’d closer to, but probably wouldn’t hang out one on one or in a group without me

levy: finds her fascinating to watch? he also finds the way jet and droy pine after her amusing. he encourages them mostly because he finds it entertaining. he thinks she’s really smart and finds it kind of adorable when she works through something she was struggling with. kind of like watching a toddler achieve something i think he’s compares it to. where you just can’t help but smile because it’s cute.

kinana: not many opinions. he has an urge to look out for her because of her background and likes watching her get along with others. she also makes good milkshakes and gives him extra cherries. ig he likes cherries.

side note, idk if i’m like channeling him or something, bc i feel like im getting actual responses as if i was talking to someone 😭. and when i type something that ig isn’t right, i get a very clear, “what the hell?” and strong sense to delete. like he’s offended i’m misrepresenting him. he’s funny asf if i am, i am so tickled rn. it’s like a mix of visuals, responses, and feelings.

cana: finds her drinking overly excessive and is pretty off put by it. finds her chill otherwise and easy to be around. will ask for his fortune to be read and finds it kind of fun. idk how often she does this or can do this, but she’ll occasionally bother him with her cards? idk if it’s like some sort of telepathy magic or if it’s just a call card, but when he’s home, she’ll just hit him up solely to get on his nerves a little. she finds it funny and he finds it annoying asf but deals with it. he’ll look after her if she ever gets too hammered until one of the girls takes her back to the dorms. he doesn’t like the drinking but finds her kind of adorable when she’s hammered? not the levy way, more like a weird dog i think 😭😭 i get the image of an older black and white chihuahua just waddling around and bumping into stuff with its tongue out LMAO

evergreen: finds her kind of insufferable. has audibly groaned when she’s come around. he also doesn’t really fw freed. he actually doesn’t like him, i don’t know what the beef is. it doesn’t feel like anything specific happened, i think he just doesn’t like him 😭😭😭 he’s cool with bickslow though. he thinks of the thunder legion as a set group and gets surprised when one is without the rest

he’s pretty indifferent towards the rest and doesn’t really go out of his way to talk to any of them. we have had girls join (or just come around i think) the guild just for the chance to talk to him more and leave soon after bc he barely interacted and they gave up. he’ll put up a smiley nice guy front until he gets tired of it and then just ends the conversation and like leaves. he’ll really just dip whenever he’s not feeling it anymore, it’s kind of funny.

idk what his name is, everytime i try to think of one, it just never feels right. i got the name lucas one time and thought it was a fuckass name for him till i looked it up and it meant “light.” i think i mentioned it earlier in the post, but ive always gotten a sun/moon vibe and attributed the sun feeling more to him, so maybe lucas really is his name, idk. in the earlier days of this, i also thought of the name silas, which when i looked up means “of the forest” which also fits because i felt the nature loving vibe pretty strongly. so one of those i guess, idk. i’ve just been calling him twin/twinnie in my head or flip flopping between the two. it feels like there’s another name floating around, but i can’t get a clear hold on it so idk

i don’t really get much when i try and think abt him, wendy, sting, and rogue, so idk. i think he’s let wendy ride on his shoulders a couple times, he’ll let sting hang off of him, idk abt him and rogue at all, and i think he gets along pretty well with natsu. he finds his stupid kind of fun and enjoys letting loose with him. he also vibes with gray pretty well. it wasn’t like this in my og dr, but gray actually comes over to our house pretty often i think.

as for the other guys,

chill with jet and droy, finds jet kind of cool when he’s not drooling over levy.

pretty solid with elfman, they were closer when we were younger, but they’re still cool

indifferent to alzack and max. occasionally talks to warren, mostly to tease/pick on him a little.

i think he lowkey thinks of nab as like decoration, because he’s always just there. he’s like there right as the guild opens and is one of the last to leave when it closes. i think he views him more as an npc actually 😭

vijeeter, idk. loke he’s fine with and will talk to, but is also quick to leave or roll his eyes when loke starts chatting up girls

mystogen he’s cool with. i think if i wasn’t friends with mystogen they would never interact. they share some interests and mystogen will sometimes help him/us with harvesting. they also train together sometimes, mostly with no magic.

he’s indifferent to most of the others, finds some like joey to be annoying, and tolerates the rest. i actually don’t think he likes many people, he just acts like he does. i think he takes after acnologia in that regard because he doesn’t like many people either. when we’d come across human stragglers on the times acnologia would take us with him, he was always just very indifferent to them. if we (mostly me) were curious, he’d let us talk to them but would kind of just stand there and watch.

overall, i think he’s the type of person to attract others without wanting to and feels the need to act more friendly than he wants to be. i actually don’t know if it’s him taking after analogies acnologia or if it’s just part of his nature as a dragon. male dragons especially are more solitary creatures. some do form groups or stick near others, but they usually prefer to be by their selves or maybe with one or two close friends. some are very social, but more rare i think.

female dragons definitely vary more and i think more has to do with strength in numbers over wanting to be social or solitary. some just prefer to have company though. merenia i think preferred to be more alone and was kind of awkward at times. but grandeeney was a very social dragon but also very smart and chose her company wisely. i think it’s mostly due to her and anna that us dragon kids got to see each other so often and regularly. she lowkey had igneel, weiss, skiadrum, and metallicana on a leash. especially metallicana. i think he liked her ngl, they were definitely flirting sometimes 😭😭
