Hello! I’m back with more edling parents because these idiots are stuck in my brain!

Ling was worried about being a dad for the longest time, his own father is pretty shitty so he has a horrible influence. Edward wasn’t in the same boat mainly because he had his mom’s influence and finally found some closer with his own dad.

Anyway, with their first daughter, Ling was scared to even hold her, and would often be extremely nervous when she cried. It was only when their daughter laughed for the first time when he held her that he realized that he loved her more then anything.

Que to Ling being exactly like Hughes and showing everyone pictures of her and Ed, and always gushing and hugging his children because he absolutely adores them.

Awwww, yes! I honestly think they'd both be terrified of fatherhood, but Ed would absolutely put on a more confident front just for Ling's sake so he can be confident too

Ling: N-Now, I haven't a clue what you're referring to. Ed: [chuckles] Of course not. Idiot. [+❤️]

#I forgot to include it but he'd carry a spear as his main weapon and he'd fight with a lot of “spells” (alchemy) #he'd also have his wing in shades of orange maybe but again. i forgot #Fullmetal Alchemist #fma #fmab #Edward Elric #edling #technically #hades #hades supergiant #fanart #my art

Tell me why the FUCK I'm picturing an edling Hades au with Ling as Zagreus and Ed as Megaera, and tell me why it's making sense to me already. The Emperor as Hades, Ling on a mission to meet his real mother and Ed working under some manner of damning contract that you help Ed get out of as you progress the "game," getting the max relationship status when you do succeed and Ed's finally convinced you're not just fucking around with him...

FUCK

Uhhhh... I promise to put a bandaid on them when I'm done?

I love that this is now a saga so I purposely this really cute little scene

Ed loves to kiss his kids foreheads, it’s something his mom did for him and Al so now he continues to tradition. Anytime the kids need comfort they get cute forehead kisses, anytime they hit a milestone or do something they’re proud of, they get forehead kisses. Ling starts to do his own little thing like that where he’ll hug them and kiss their cheeks till they’re giggling non stop.

Edling parents are soft and I love them and I refuse to think any angst with them because that would hurt my very soul.

THEY'RE THE SOFTEST, THIS IS ADORABLE. Ed is 10/10 super affectionate with the kids, esp since he grew up with an absent father so he knows what it's like to doubt whether you're loved. So he always makes sure his kids know they're loved.

#this is so cute <3 thanks for the treat #also ooooof “I refuse to think any angst with them” #how do i break this to you about the hamilton au without shattering your dreams... #katmail #edling parents saga

What's up Kat! I'm alive. (mostly)

Anyway! I've been thinking about how different Ling and Greed actually look in the show. Just, analyzing them a little. Sorry for the info dump this is lmao!

Ling has much more relaxed posture, while still seeming to remain guarded and cautious. Greed is the opposite, with stiff, more serious posture but more relaxed in personality because he's so confident in his abilities.

Ling's hair tends to go left while Greed's goes right. (Not important just fun!) The eyes too obviously, Ling has his eyes closed often, because he can sense what's around him even with closed eyes, Greed can't.

These subtle differences make my little detail oriented brain joyous.

Heeeeey, good to see you again!!! Glad you're alive! Don't apologize for the info-dump bro I completely agree the details are fascinating!! I also like to think, for between the line purposes that greedling actually share the same voice (at least when Greed speaks through Ling's vocal chords) but we only have the audio distinction to avoid audience confusion. Realistically greedling's ONLY distinction would be their posture and their eye color. Which has been so fun to explore the angst potential of uwu

#I'm answering this from my honors ceremony because it is a loooong list and this is a delightful distraction #anyway nice to hear from you again!!! hope you're well <3 #katmail
