Character Chatter

This is where I talk about my views on the Fairy Tail characters, their pros and cons, and the ships they are in. Accepting requests! Leave them in the comments! Warning! Spoilers! Read at your own risk!

Well, I guess I'll start with one of my favorite characters, Natsu Dragneeel. I have an intense love for Natsu. He cracks me up, simple as that. He's also loyal, friendly, super powerful, and likes cats. I think that he has a lot going for him. At first, it seems like Natsu is a rather… underdeveloped character… But as you get deeper in to the manga, you realize that there's a lot more to him than meets the eye. (HE'S E.N.D! MIND. BLOWN.)

In the Tenrou Island Arc, during his fight with Gildarts, Natsu goes through some MAJOR character development, realizing that he may not be strong enough to protect his friends, that he needs help sometimes.

It's obvious that Natsu cares a lot about his friends. It is shown several times that he is willing to give his all to keep the people precious to him safe. He almost dies for Erza and Gray, and ALWAYS protects Lucy.

He is kind, too. And good with kids! I mean, come on, girls, doesn't that make him, like, 5000x more attractive? It does for me!

Natsu is in A LOT of ships… A lot.

Let's start with…

Natsu x Erza: Don't get me wrong, I understand why people ship this. It is very, very evident that Erza and Natsu care deeply about each other, but I'm more inclined to think that they have a more platonic relationship. They are close friends and practically siblings, in my opinion. I mean, they practically grew up together, so I believe that Erza and Natsu still see each other as a brother/sister they will love no matter what.
On the other hand, there are many, many reasons that this ship WOULD makes sense: they bathed together as children, Natsu nearly dies for Erza and freaks out when SHE nearly dies.
Unfortunately, I'm more inclined to believe that Natsu and Erza's relationship is simply platonic, i.e., Erza seems to have feelings towards Jellal, and Natsu seems to have feelings for Lucy.

Natsu x Gray: I think people ship this because of the way these two interact, seeming to hate each other, but not really.
I, on the other hand, doubt this ship will ever become canon, one, it's pretty obvious that both Natsu and Gray are heterosexual, because they both like to see Lucy naked and Natsu has been known to grope Lucy a few times.
Another reason this ship most likely won't be canon is that Gray obviously seems to care about Juvia. They lived together for the better part of a year, and Gray went back for the scarf she made him.

Natsu x Mira: I actually have no clue why people ship this. I mean, it's kinda cute, but when do these to even, like, interact outside of the regular everyday stuff?

Natsu x Lisanna: (All you Lisanna haters are gonna come down on me for this, aren't you?) I dunno if I'm the only one, but as a devoted NaLu shipper, I actually DON'T hate Lisanna. I also completely understand why people ship this.
These two where childhood friends, and Lisanna obviously had SOME feeling for our favorite Fire Dragon Slayer. Also, they made a sort of pact.
But I think that due to her time in Edolas and seeing Edo-Natsu and Edo-Lucy interact Lisanna's feelings for Natsu dissolved in to mere friendship.
I think that these two care a lot fro each other, but it doesn't seem to me to go beyond platonic.

Natsu x Wendy: Guys, Wendy's, like, six years younger than Natsu. He's not a pedo…

Natsu x Levy: Again, how often do these two even inteact? I'm also pretty sure that Levy has feeling for Gajeel…

Natsu x Juvia: I'm not gonna deny it, the whole opposites attract theme of this ship is totally adorable, but it's still unlikely to happen, since Juvia is so in love with Gray.

Natsu x Lucy: I think this ship is very, very cute. For one, these two always have each other's backs. Also, Natsu always does his best to protect Lucy and freaks out at the notion of her getting hurt. Lucy also cares a lot for Natsu, missing him so much when he left for a year.
There are so many incidents where these two interact in shippy ways that I just can't name them all. But… remember this… Mashima-sensei ships them, and that's enough for me!

A/N: I'm glad I got that over with! If you have a request, leave it in the comments! Who shall I do next?
