When I used to watch the early seasons of the FT anime , something about Jellal always struck me as distinct about his features. His eyes always looked more prominent than the rest of the guys and I have cracked why.
My guy is wearing Kohl/Surma/Kajal.
Like LOOK at how defined his eyes are compared to another character , you can’t tell me the guy isn’t putting something on. Especially when no other guy or girl character has such defined eye looks (other than Macbeth but it’s obvious he’s wearing eyeliner)
Yes people might say art style for the first season I can agree but look at the characters and then Jellal and tell me if there isn’t something more there.
Look at the guys here , they have dark lashlines but nowhere NEAR as dark and prominent as Jellal.
Even compared to girls from the first season Jellal has a darker and more thicker lash line compared to them.
Look at the difference between him and Erza side by side! He definitely has a more defined lash line!
And look compared to FT girls eyes, when it is the convention of girls usually having the darker lashline in anime.
And then Jellal
There's a clear distinction! His is not just more defined and connected compared to men in FT but also females too!
The reason I have come to the conclusion of Kohl/Kajal/Surma is because I HC Jellal with Arab heritage (or whatever would be the equivalent in earthland-) due to his name Jellal (which is basically another spelling of Jalal) and Kohl is known to be used by the men in the Arab culture to beautify them. And also Kohl is used by people in Arabia/India/Egypt due to its medicinal properties for retaining eye health and improving vision!
Also what differentiates for my thinking that Jellal is not using normal eyeliner but Kohl/Surma/Kajal is because of the way it is applied. Other eyeliners can go on the outer eye but Kohl/Surma is traditionally applied always in the inner corners of the eyes, just like Jellal has (in season 1)
(As you can see the girl in the photo above has her eyes lined like Jellal using Kohl/Surma/Kajal)
Considering Jellal’s magic , I can imagine there is a huge priority on his vision due to the speeds he travels at when casting, so it makes sense for him to use such a thing to help him in battle or aid in beating the consequences of using his magic so his sight isn’t compromised and remains strong!
Also because Jellal's magic revolves around using stars/light , this medicinal cosmetic has also been used to protect against the glare of light which would also come to help for Jellal in battle!
So what is the take away from this post? I put way too much thought trying to prove a HC I have had from young but found out it actually adds up now looking at the facts. You guys can tell me if i'm reaching or not with this after seeing the evidence and argument presented.
Also season 1 Jellal Fernandes is an ethnic king and we stan he never forgot his roots. <3

christinastraße // köln nippes
today, it is hard to believe that nippes, now a densely built-up area, was once known for its cabbage fields.
the mural is a reminder of the district's rural history.
by the way, in rhenish cabbage is called "kappes".

Marik Ishtar’s Tombkeeper Eyeliner from YuGiOh
Sims 3 Version
I made the first version of this eyeliner years ago under the creator name SallyCompaq122. This was long before I ever knew what Blender was or how helpful it could be for texture painting.
After improving Rishid’s face carvings for the Sims 3, I decided to update the eyeliner as well.
If you like the Sims 3 and want to play with this content, you can download it here.
The eyeliner is base-game compatible and works for male and female sims of all ages. There is one recolorable channel.
Looking for the Sims 4 version? See this post.
I will be posting more of my content here, especially since I am actively creating again, so if you’re interested, give me a follow.

The day I stop weaving poetry out of your eyes would be the day the romance between us would die. Apply a little more kohl, not just for its healing effects, but for the sheer reason that the more beautiful those eyes turn, a more sublime poetry I could gift to this world. Who knows at some time in the near future, our love will be taught to the young at schools as epic tales of divine romance - a man who's entire life was devoted in the veneration of a pair of eyes...
