It’s my birthday so you know what that means! Time for shameless self-indulgent AU drawings!
Anyhoo few years back I drew the main cast of my fma immortals!au, so this time around I figured I’d draw a few of the side cast as well, aka the characters that actually have jobs lol
once again the basic premise of the AU is that all the fma kiddos are immortal creatures living in the modern world, but I figure there’s gotta be Some regulars around so riza and roy get to rep the human race - also some bonus details relevant to this set is greed and lust aren't really siblings and more just coworkers/shittalk buddies, this is as low stakes as au’s get so no interpersonal family drama here
"[Acting] on the stage, oh, very important. It keeps you in touch with an audience, and if you're away from the theatre too long, you forget about your audience, and you forget about just how much they like you and how much they don't. We try to do a play a year, if we can, but it's a bit difficult."
more character refs (some of which i definitely forgot about prior to now oops)
in order:
pic 1: Katsumi, Ikasuki, Hanae, Emi, Chiaki, and Fuku Kitsuen. some of them are human, some of them are kudagitsune.
pic 2: these guys are already labeled so i'll just specify that Susume, Sōta, and Tomomi are also from the Kitsuen family, but Kibara Migite is not. she's got her own shit going on lmao.
also not pictured is Sōta's human form, which he's in most the time as he also goes to school but i. just haven't gotten around to designing it yet (i keep accidentally making him look too similar to Hidemi oops-)
pic 3: these guys are also already labeled. they work for the funny organization :]
and then since the rest aren't compilation images i'll just list them separately:
I am so interested in the fact we’re gonna explore the missing girl that made Athena want to become a cop storyline because it hints at the idea of closure - like the emmett storyline. Athena getting closure on something she’s carried with her like a torch all her life suggests the opportunity to actually move on and move forward - that there will no longer be this thing hanging over her. And the title - the devil you know - so suggestive of that closure actually allowing her to confront her job and if she does actually want to be doing it any longer - if she’s happy carrying g on with what she knows or if she wants to pursue something new - the literal meaning of the devil you know!!
… procrastinating on writing (as usual) but made myself sad thinking about how Layla comes to Hawkins with a “I don’t need friends they disappoint me” mindset, makes friends with people who genuinely care about her and they all end up “dying” (or leaving bc of the trauma) one by one in the span of nine months while she’s also being traumatized repeatedly by other things.
