The first ever Gruvia Week was held in 2013. It is now 2023. Meaning, this is the 11th edition/Gruvia Weekā¦ but 10 years have passed since the creation of this blog and beloved event thatās been held on the exact same dates since the beginning (April 1st - April 7th). Thatās right, the event date has never changed, never held early, nor late. To keep it this consistent and for so long is truly an accomplishment.
Thank you to all the wonderful fans that have kept this event alive for so long. It has been my pleasure to host this celebration for the last 10 years, and itās because of you that I do so. All the dedicated Gruvia lovers deserve this. The fandom has changed a lot as time went on. People come and go. However, most notably, we have grown in more ways than one. Likewise, Gray and Juvia have gone through a tremendous amount of development in the last decade. They have confirmed mutual romantic love and a son that we have yet to meet in earthland, but still very much canon in the manga and drawn by the author (Hiro Mashima) of his own accord on multiple occasions. Despite this, we are still waiting for the day they āofficiallyā get together. The setup and foreshadowing is thereā¦ He wants it, so Gray, confess to Juvia soon!
In the meantime, we celebrate the ship once again. Here are the official Gruvia Week 2023 prompts displayed in the image above. Just like in previous years these prompts are not complicated, but they are broad and meant to make you think. Be creative. Interpret them however you see fit. If you donāt know what a word means, look it up. Specific and basic prompts would result in different versions/entries of the same thing. Thatās why Gruvia Week is so successful every year; imagination. Prompts for this event are always different every year. No repeats! See:Ā Previous Gruvia Week editions
