ALRIGHT LETS TALK ABOUT GRAY HERE FOR A SEC
LETS SEE THEN SHALL WE
OKAY. GRAY HAVING JUVIA BRAIN-ROT ISN’T EVEN A JOKE ANYMORE.
I might have Gruvia fever but I just feel like this whole page says a lot (I mean like every time Gray thinks of Juvia says a lot) about his perspective.
I just love that literally every time he thinks of Juvia it’s her always saying his name with such love or just expressing her affection 😭
I could analyze every memory.
AND I WILL
Memory 1#
Juvia calling out to him with her aura; a classic
Definitely a core memory for him. Personally I like to think all those hearts a sparkles is what he see when she does that. But I know it’s just Juvia being Juvia
Memory 2#
Juvia calling out his name while hugging him; I think it’s safe to say this is pre-100 year quest. So he’s not as comfortable with affection as he is now. We’ve seen him being able to publicly accept and reciprocate affection for Juvia; so I think this is all he has to recall when she’s giving him physical affection.
Memory 3#
Again Juvia calling out to Gray, this time she is chasing after him.
(Honestly gives me Pucca and Garu vibes)
Definitely pre-100 years quest again. While it can be spun as a negative association with Gray running away; it might be a stretch for me to say but I think this frames a trait that he loves about her.
And I say this because it what makes Juvia— well Juvia. Her shameless expression of affection. Something that has always stayed in my head was Gray seeing Juvia when she was taken over by the white witch.
It’s her lack of reaction to Gray telling her that he is happy to see her (with the implacation of missing her). He knew something was up. He knows her. In fact while Juvia gushed and all; it was never really 100%. And it bothered him.
That’s also how Gray wasn’t affected by the snow doll. Because it’s couldn’t properly replicate how she shows affection. Gray has come to love Juvia as whole of who she is.
Memory 4#
Juvia with her classic love rival line. There isn’t like anything specific I can go into detail. It’s just a prominentpart of Juvia’s comedic character lmao but that just goes with my previous memory analysis with it just Juvia being Juvia.
Can’t lie though Juvia’s Love Rival antics do come in handy at times like with Briar, Francoise, and Catelyn.
Memory 5#
Honestly my favorite.
She is simply just saying his name. And it’s just occupying his brain. He’s obsessed 🪄☕️
I feel like they were all an accumulation Juvia antics to result in just this final one. Her. It’s all just her. If that makes any sense
All of what Juvia is just takes up in his mind about her. Which I just absolutely adore.
Also to add
When the “weak bond” thing happened and he turned into himself got me so sad for a sec because I was like “noooo gray 😭 you’re a strong good boy” but it was a set up for a friendship quip which was sweet. But man like not even Happy 😬 like come on. Nothing like Gray sad boy hours huh.
Anyway back to waiting 6 more months for another Gruvia moment
