#ling gets himself possessed and then his little sister wins the throne before he can even get home. SAD.

I find it very funny that the only time ling and mei directly interact is at the very end and the only time they were ever in the same room together before the promised day is when ling has been freshly possessed. we already know mei gets a glance at greed and is like "is that the yao prince?? why is he here????" and I have to imagine it went similarly from ling's perspective. like he's still reeling from getting possessed on purpose, probably still getting his bearings in there, and he's just experienced potentially the worst twenty-four hours of his life, and then greed starts applauding a little girl's reunion with her panda and ling gets a look at her and is like "oh what the fuck."

#fma #I think there is so much missed opportunity with ling and mei #siblings that have literally never met before both experiencing a near apocalypse in a country that isn't even theirs #and they were RIGHT AT THE CENTER OF IT TOO #they were literally at the center of the transmutation circle #both of them spared from the mass sacrifice #both of them got their hands on a homunculus and then. failed to bring that homunculus home. #which is another thing that's wild to me #there is a universe out there where mei became empress #because she brought home a homunculus #ling gets himself possessed and then his little sister wins the throne before he can even get home. SAD. #ling yao #mei chang
