With the attention Disney is getting recently, a resurgence of posts bemoaning their live action remakes and a return of The Muppet Post, I feel the time is right to share again my idea for a Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood live action remake featuring:
Lust, played by Miss Piggy
Envy, played by Pepe the Prawn
Pride, played by Fozzie Bear
Greed, played by Rizzo the Rat
Father (and Van Hohenheim) played by Sam the Eagle
Gluttony, played by The Swedish Chef
Sloth, played by Sweetums
Wrath, aka Fuhrer King Bradley played by Liam Neeson

accidentally hitting Astarion with the "just ask your companions for help you dumbass" sign by walking into camp two hours after he almost sold his soul to a demon to ask what the scars on his back mean and casually going "oh that's just random legalese in Infernal".

everyone's sharing their controversial ao3 opinions these days so here is mine: I think it would be way funnier and more useful if every fandom on there was divided into 4 boxes, one for canon tone fics, one for jarringly mature themes compared to the source material (scaled accordingly to canon), one for crackfic, and one for cringefail proshipper bs just so they have a place to play in their own poop together as god intended. like could you imagine. you open up a fandom tag on there and you get a little menu card that's like "canon-esque", "someone took steven universe to its logical conclusion and it got a little dark, sorry", "someone did not take breaking bad seriously enough and now we have this!" and that last one is just that 1 gif of that one guy nodding and nodding and nodding and then doing a little double take and then shaking his head

(starting a new post) Honestly, I've thought much the same about Hal's stoicness and the Shrewsbury wound. We know he was brusque in speech and I've also headcannoned that was a result of the arrow wound. A friend of mine (@richmond-rex) has wondered whether the arrow might have reached his pharynx and affected his speech for a time and as you said, scar tissue could have fucked him up even once he was recovered.
But also, on the more simple side of things, I wonder if it's the fact that it hurt and almost every facial or head movement made it hurt more. And he probably quickly learned that to avoid more pain is to keep his face and head still and avoid making sound. We don't know how long it between Hal's wounding and Bradmore to complete his "cure" and it probably took much longer for the wound to fully heal and longer for Hal to "get back to normal" (I also imagine him struggling to resume eating normally - he's also said to have been abstemious in food and drink).
Yeah, I've always thought the combination of him apparently being quite stoic in his expressions + reportedly not talking very much + being careful with how and what he eats (the only foods I've seen him mentioned as eating are ones that don't require you to open your mouth very wide i.e. oysters and nuts etc) most likely meant that the injury had some lasting effect, either due to lasting chronic pain or physical damage, or both. I once read someone marveling at how lucky he would have had to be not to have suffered nerve damage, and I do imagine that in spite of how careful Bradmore was in treating the wound, the surgical process of having to enlarge the wound slowly probably would have left quite a large scar, even if he seems to have done everything he could to keep it as evenly healed as possible (can't comment on how slowly shrinking the wound would have affected the healing process). I also think he probably would have had some degree of whiplash due to the force of the arrow's impact (though maybe armour would have supported his neck).
I was reading something yesterday about ATLA and how so often people treat scars (especially facial ones) as the be all and end all, without actually putting any thought into what the scar means for the body; how it moves, how it healed, the pain it might carry or even the absence of any sensation at all. I thought it was applicable because I've noticed a lot of the published writing on Henry V, even if it mentions his scar, acts like the scar was the only problem he would have faced after the wound was healed without giving consideration to what probably came with the scar.

The "playing along with Ortea's HG theories" path is intriguing to me. Ruby is my Sidestep who I think could go the distance re: not revealing a thing (or more likely so I can have someone in my pocket for the late game reveals), so I'm considering having that also as one of his lil side paths? He's also gunning for the regenerator so ??? it's possible he might swing it
