Nothing makes me happier than unhinged Ed being like "yep!! That's MY blood!! I drew that while I was bleeding out!! :DD" and Armstrong reacting about as well as you'd expect
Been having a hard time with art and finally really getting back into it. I did the expression meme by MagicalPouch and had my friends suggest characters.
Names below the cut
Left to right, top to bottom are-
Megamind, Drome (OC), Gabbie (OC), Rainbow Dash, Jazz Fenton, Mikey
The opposite of toxic masculinity, positive masculinity, is Major Alex Louis Armstrong. I will not be accepting questions. I will however accept additions.
Major Armstrong is a fun and cool character and one of the reasons for this is that despite him being probably over 6 feet tall and made of pure muscle I just think he's adorable
he could crush all of my bones if he so desired (although I don't think he ever would) and yet I still find this man unbelievably cute
he's just so adorable. Like giant dog that's just so filled with love
This is the Tumblr saturation version. Does anyone know why Tumblr desaturates everything?
art note: the "Mercury" brush in Procreate immediately turns anything charming. It's witchcraft. I did turn the "burnt edges" to zero to make it easier on myself though.
Why you should read volume 15 of FMA if you haven’t read the manga
Even if you’re not much into manga, I definitely recommend reading at least the volume 15 chapters of Fullmetal Alchemist chapters 58 through 61 if you’ve watched Brotherhood. In the anime, there’s only one episode that covers the Ishbalan genocide and in the manga it takes up an entire volume
Not only do you get Roy’s, Riza’s and some of Marcoh’s perspective but in the manga you get:
Scar and his brother’s perspective and a closer look at Ishbal
Some of Hughes’ own perspective of the war
Armstrong’s perspective and every single thing that led to his eventual emotional breakdown and his own meeting with Kimblee
The perspective of Winry’s parents and their decision to stay in Ishbal and earning the trust of their patients
Dr. Knox’s perspective (you will also get the reason for his divorce if you decide to read chapter 57, but due to his PTSD and nightmares, he mistook his wife for an enemy soldier when she tried waking him up from one and he almost killed her)
An in-depth look at the treatment of Ishbalans who were in the Amestrian military during the time of the war as well as the ordinary soldiers who watched in horror and awe at the abilities of the state alchemists
More insight into Hawkeye’s role in the war and the glaring fact that she wasn’t even a graduate from the academy when she was shipped off to the battlefield but because of her high grades and the need for soldiers, they sent her to fight in it
Corruption from soldiers in positions of leadership even if they weren’t in on Father’s plan
The absolute badassery of Basque Grande killing a corrupt official and assuming leadership
Why Roy earned the nickname Hero of Ishbal
And if you’re Royai trash, Roy calling Riza by her first name
While the Ishbal episode in Brotherhood is good, it barely even scratches the surface of everything that took place in Ishbal and I highly recommend reading even just these 4 chapters
