Spoiler for Chapter 429, 430:

Well wait to flip that plot line around, Mashima. I'm glad to be rid of the drama of Gray turning evil (no one needs another Sasuke plot running around) but the Frosch thing confuses me... I think we all know Mashima writes by the seat of his pants, but he seems to have had things planned out at least a little since the seven-year time skip.

And the goat tongue... I guess after the super-serious Erza torture scenes last arc, we needed some silliness... Oh Mashima.
