Thinking about Edward Elric as the Amestrian Military's specialest little unfireable boy

State alchemists can be fired for underperforming. We know this up front from the likes of Shou Tucker. And this makes a ton of sense from the homunculi's standpoint since the state alchemists are sacrifice candidates, and the homunculi would want to cull the weakest candidates and focus only on cultivating the strongest ones who stand the best chance of opening the portal.

........Then there's Edward. Who's already opened the portal.

There's no need to cultivate him. No gamble taken on whether he's good enough to open the portal. He passed the final test already. Graduated 4 semesters early.

And as such, has a free pass to do Absolute Fuck All.

And I'm imagining how funny this is from like an outside perspective.

Some newish state alchemist who'd only ever read up on the stories of Edward Elric, ready and excited to start their career of being paid handsomely with endless freedom to research and travel and do anything they want in the pursuit of science... surprised and confused to find themselves put on probation their first month for things like "ignoring orders." Which is, as best they had thought, a famous Edward Elric pastime.

Roy showing a slight bit of stress about his yearly state alchemist report, and Ed just snorting and rolling his eyes at Roy because every year HE just hastily does his on the train ride over (canon in the manga, a travesty it was left out of the anime) and it gets rubber stamped. Ed not realizing that other alchemists' reports get genuinely scrutinized and torn apart while Ed is free to turn in whatever absolute bullshit he thinks of 36 hours ahead of time. One year his report was about whether alchemy could be done via dance (conclusion: no it can't) and no one cared. Roy WANTS to tell Ed there's some kind of unknown favoritism around Ed making him literally bullet-proof but Roy has no way to phrase this that doesn't sound like he's just in denial and mad at how good Ed's train-reports are.

Guy from the Internal Amestrian Affairs sector who's responsible for auditing other internal military personel for any suspicious activity hitting about 1 million red flags for Edward Elric, issuing a STRONG and URGENT recommendation to suspend the alchemist pending further investigation into things like "literal bunk-buddies with two members of the Xingese royalty (enemy nation)" and "spent $10,000,000 of his stipend on a librarian to make her re-copy (what he seemed to interpret as?) military records in some extremely transparent effort to unearth state secrets (it was a recipe book but he was literally asking her about state secrets)" and "literally has never once obeyed an order, ever, not even once in his career, and is on public record having said 'I do not care about the goals and protections of the Amestrian Military. I am in fact only pursuing my own interests several of which are diametrically opposed to the safety and well-being of the governing body of Amestris'"

The issued recommendation is intercepted before it even reaches its intended desk. President Bradley himself has taken issue with it and denies it before a single set of eyes has seen it. The President's veto stamp is a terrifying hammer, used rarely, and it is now sitting on the auditor's desk.

The auditor sleeps with one eye open from then on out.

#fma #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood #fma:b #literally anything about the dynamic between edward and the amestrian government is so so so funny to me #im begging you to come pick up your alchemist he keeps committing treason #Roy: absolute perfect ass-kisser and career-man playing the part 24/7 to disguise his treasonous ambitions and still #not flying under the radar #Edward on his public Twitter: bored. might tear down the Amestrian government for fun.

Y’know, considering the geneology in Fullmetal Alchemist, Greed accidentally set up the world's worst family reunion in the Beasts of Dublith arc. Imagine you get kidnapped by some guy in a gay bar who wants to legitimately take you apart and study you and he turns out the be your annoying immortal cousin that you had no clue about. And then the president shows up and also turns out to be your evil cousin

#greed accidentally creating the silliest possible meetup just because he wanted to play necromancer is very funny to me #fma #greed fma #fullmetal alchemist #fmab #fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood

I'll tell you this now, I won't be treating you like a kid. This is Briggs, the land of natural defense. A world where the weak are victims of the strong.

my favorite personal headcanon for everyone post fma is that when ed and winry get married ling sends them two presents. winry gets a motorcycle. ed gets shoes that are extremely expensive leather and deliberately too small along with a certificate that says "on such and such day, 1914, state alchemist edward elric forced the emperor of xing to eat a pair of boots."

ed sends him back a torn piece of paper upon which he's scribbled "i owe the emperor of xing one punch in the face"

Autistic Anime Boys Side A Round 2 Match 8

Propaganda:

Ed -

"Hyperfocus ability (thinking specifically of that one scene where he gets so into studying at Tucker’s house he blocks out all other noise), alchemy special interest, hypersensitive (about height lol), more that I can’t think of atm."

Rui -

"he makes robots for literally everything. he's the director of THE silliest stage troupe there is. he built a robot with revolutionary AI and countless features that are Completely Unnecessary just because his best friend has/had(?) social anxiety and No One Talks About It."
