His smile is a very important detail in this scene that, if left out in the anime, I will be throwing myself off of the nearest building and it will be on their hands.
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
...Please don't take my sunshine away
It's soooo canon like actually canon that the only thing keeping gray from accepting Juvia is the fact he feels unworthy of her, and not at his best
I just feel the need to remind myself every so often someone tries to come along saying he's "creeped out" by her
One of the things I take away from this panel is the confirmation of Gray being completely inexperienced with romance and women 😭
He's not used to the exclusive affection Juvia shows him so he's unsure of how to react most of the time but it's sweet how he's trying 🥹

People will say it's her fault for 'simping'. NO. At some point you need to learn to distinguish between consequences caused by character flaw and outright SABOTAGE. Juvia is canonically a powerful wizard in her own right and has mastered ALL FORMS of water magic. There was +
Gray was chosen for a Hot Wizard Ranking which is like of course he was but why on earth did they choose the ugliest photo they could find of him like omg gray my darling CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.
Like the whole point of that part in this extremely emotional moment is for gray to realize AS HE'S SAYING IT that Juvia in fact means MOREEEE to him than a friend. It's not just a quick detail to be brushed off THATS LITERALLY THE POOOOOOIIINTTT 😭
@gruvia_1
Mashima was in a drawing competition with another artist where they were assigned to draw according to different themes. One of the themes was something that was gonna happen to their character in the future (they also had to put the poop emoji somewhere? 😭) +
I wish Juvia talked in thirds in the dub. The Juviii s are really cute dgmw but it really set her apart and possibly acted as a window to what it was like growing up...? I dunno if this is a hot take or not just a random two cents of mine lol
Is it weird to want mercphobia and juvia to interact 😭? I don't quite know how hierarchy works (and I skimmed a bit of 100yq ngl) but given he's a water god and Juvia's a water user, would she have heard about him? Is that how that works?
I don't speak Japanese but I'm pretty sure that Juvia being there has to be some sort of indication that she is an integral part of his character and overall development, as such making her existence known to clue in her significance to the audience a necessity
‼️ CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER‼️
Gray: "Your body....."
Manga: "...is something I care about cause you're mine..."
Sub: "...might be mine to have sometime..."
Dub: "...I might be into it..."
@gruvia_1
He chose to draw gray and his future family with Juvia 🥹
It's funny because he was only supposed to draw one character and ig he just decided to draw all 3 lmao 😭😭
I love jealous gray and wish to see more of it plz Mashima reveal Bora's existence or something I want my boy to have a feeling of overwhelming intimidation for funsies🧍♀️
I just wanted to say that some (maybe even most) ppl who like gruvia will feel more inclined to defend Juvia moreso than gray. It DOES NOT mean we hate him. Me, personally, it stems from knowing that Juvia is less popular in the fandom and is more prone to ACTUAL HATE +
Before I log off to potentially sleep I just want to remind everyone that it is in fact canon that gray's greatest wish is to impregnate Juvia. Thank you and goodnight.
because, despite what others say, *that's what he wants too*. HER happiness is HIS happiness. Their dreams of a happy ending align PERFECTLY. And he's making sure that he's in the state, of both mind and strength, that can protect her and that happy ending forever.
no reason whatsoever for her to lose this battle and for such a silly reason. I know Mashima did it to get her out of the way cuz she definitely COULD'VE won, but it's at the expense of yet ANOTHER moment where her true power could've shined through and I can't get over that.
I joke about it a lot but I really think it's so romantic that gray has the restraint to put it all aside and work on himself FOR HER, so he can be there FOR HER when she needs him literally or emotionally. He WANTS a family with her, he WANTS to give her everything she wants +
One thing I like about Lucy's design is the fact she has brown eyes instead of blue.
I don't speak on every piece of media ofc but typically people who design blonde characters follow a sorta status quo where they immediately have blue eyes (sometimes green) but Lucy is +
Juvia's cried her heart out stating to Meredy. It's easier to choose death because LIVING is harder especially for gray with all he's gone through but he's sworn to do it for her BECAUSE of her and the same thing with Juvia vice versa. The two will earn their happy ending.
It's a very popular theory (?) that gray resisted Juvia so much (in the beginning) because he was afraid of another loved one dying which is OUCH and HURTS MY HEART and could VERYY well be true but I also think another reason was the fear of her waking up one day and thinking +
Did her no favors. It doesn't take a genius to know that gray loves juvia, but it felt like the dub was actively working against that message either to prolong their development or something else I dunno but it just irked me constantly.
Juvia trying to assure Levy of her innocence despite being told multiple times that it's okay (I'm sure) is so funny and sweet like she cares what her sis in law thinks of her 🥹😭😭😭
I STRONGLY believe we should all ignore that account since they're very clearly trolling but I will say that I spend an unhealthy amount of time watching Juvi vids on yt and all the comments talk about is how pretty and cute she is 😭
Who swears to the high HEAVENS that she always will. This kind of devotion cannot be found anywhere else in gray's life and acts as his shining light and hope for tomorrow and JUST LIKE THAT he's given a reason to live. And I think it's so powerful that that's the VERY thing +
BUT now we've also been shown how insecure he is about himself. Which I think provides a flawless alignment with how he's acted in the past when he felt there was a chance Juvia might look away (or be admired by someone else 💀)
That maaaybe he's not worth all the time spent pining after him, and moving on from there. We've already been shown he doesn't value his life as much as he should and is very much willing to trade it up at any moment (like c'mon gray, iced shell wants a break 💀)
OH THAT WAS THE G***** MOMENT?? AWW THAT WAS SO SWEET I THOUGHT THERE WAS FOR GONNA BE LIKE ROMANTIC MUSIC AND INTENSE STARING OR SOMETHING IM SUCH A CRYBABY JEJEJEKIEIS
Here's my circle btw!
I'm very much new to this fandom but I'm so happy to find such nice people who share my newfound passion 🥹
1st, 2nd, 3rd ring I love u
He gets possessive because he DOES want her, but up until now he's kept up his walls and stopped himself from having her due to this feeling of unworthiness and lack of.... wanting to live 💀 but that's where best girl JUVIA comes in. SHE'S the one who's ALWAYS had his back +
I want to make a gruvia thread (sorry 😔), but first I wanna ask a question: Do you think that Gray prefers to be around a less excited Juvia (like Juvia around her friends that aren't gray) or the way we normally see her (around gray)?
Actually now that I think about it there are many things I prefer about her sub voice. But that's not to say her dub is bad or anything, she's a really good VA. But for Juvia fub, the anime in general, a lot of things were changed and exaggerated and dialogue especially+
