"why does this word mean multiple things in this language" vs. "why can't i use this word for all these different contexts it's so much more simple that way"
This is a master post to gather everything about @caelanglang’s and I’s FMA AU with Beast SKK!
Cae and I are collabbing on a big fic/art project with Beast SKK as Royai from FMA in the FMA world! It generally follows the canon plot, but we sprinkled lots of extras in there and it includes our own post-canon version, too! Right now it is a big work in progress, but we wanna share snippets and sneak peeks here and there and hope you all look forward to it :)
This post will contain all those snippets, but you can find us generally talking about this AU under the fmabeast au tag!
Kanade is selflessness born of selfishness (because she wants to atone for what she's done by saving other people, she works herself to the bone and doesn't care about her own well-being - but that desire to save others is ultimately something that she believes will be her redemption, without a care of why or who she wants to save. Mafuyu notices that, and a large part of Kanade's story revolves about her learning to want to compose and save out of earnest desire to help rather than the idea of making up for a crime that only she herself thinks she's guilty of)
An is selfishness born out of selflessness (she wants to go to the height her father and Nagi were, and beyond that - surpassing Rad Weekend, an event many people consider a monument rather than a goal point to be passed - something that appears to be so incredibly selfish, but she does that because they wanted her to. She's taken on the burden of her family's crushing legacy because they placed their hopes and trust in her and An is so utterly selfless she could never say "no", no matter how hard it would be, how much it hurts. An is a bearer of a dream so inherently selfish but one that is passed upon her regardless of her will, and she is so utterly selfless that betraying those hopes was never an option)
Oh to be narrative foils with someone in proseka universe.
Oh, you know my favorite villain trio, right? It's the one with the very menacing and threatening leader, the character that ranges from wanting the leader's approval to wanting to take charge, and the idiot.
You know a romance anime is good when the “lovers” in the situation are never actually romantically involved or explicitly stated to be (canonically) lovers.
