#i do think roy—raised in a brothel—does have secret dirty fantasies about being a man with a desk job

[willowcrowned]

yeah like. if Roy and riza get married it’s half fake marriage to trap each other in misery self harm style and half being genuinely in love. insane of them

no exactly because they don't love each other really and they don't even hate each other really (except for the ways they do) they just. are each other. you don't love your liver or your heart or your lungs they're just a part of you. and they're just a part of each other. but they should never ever get married

#i think like. what it really comes down to is marriage for them being wrapped up in Ideas and Wants #and that's not something the other person is ever going to be equipped to provide #i do think roy—raised in a brothel—does have secret dirty fantasies about being a man with a desk job #and a pretty little wife to come home to and have missionary sex with who tells him everything he did was good and justified #and that he just loves his country #and i think riza conversely has these wants—that she would never admit to herself #because she's just not the sort of person to ever think about it long enough to ever be able to articulate it #and I think those wants comprise a handsome dark haired husband and children to love quietly and fully #and a new apartment that she's constantly renovating and keeping absolutely tidy (nothing like the home she grew up in) #and in this fantasy she was never a soldier—just a secretary maybe—and her husband is an artist #and anyways. what it all comes down to for both of them. is that the other person can't ever be who they'd want to be married to #and they can't ever be the sort of person that someone would marry #and they'd make themselves utterly miserable trying to do it anyways #fmab #asks #anon #roy mustang #riza hawkeye
