Ooh ur Dunmeshi/FMA AU has got my gears turning. (And the idea of the height genes being at war like that is so funny to me) Do you have many plot-related thoughts so far?
I could imagine they wanted to bring Trisha back but revival magic doesn’t really do anything outside the dungeon, so they go there to study how it works. I’d assume ancient/forbidden magic comes into play at some point? Does Al still get cursed somehow? How would a place where bringing back the dead seems so simple affect the boys stance on killing people?
(You don’t actually have to answer any of these. I’m just having fun playing in your little sandbox lol)
hello welcome to my sandbox hope u enjoy ur stay
gonna put everything under a read more cause i might spoil the later parts of dunmesh! warning unless you've finished the manga
okay so, in this au, due to differences in how the races age, even tho ed and al were still young when she died, trisha would've been fairly old for a halffoot. can't remember the exact age she had her kids in canon, but she was like. super young. even if we carry that over to fullmeal trisha and make her 14-15 at the time, bc children of two diff races grow slower, she would've been like. half foot middle aged at the time she died (not giving exact ages for all the elrics cause i don't wanna do math rn)
mostly, the brothers are in the dungeon the same way marcille is: to learn how to expand the life expectancy of the shorter lived races. cause even if they did bring their mom back, she would only have a decade or two left of natural life. bringing trisha back is sort of an unconscious wish (that the demon in this au def plays on :) )
i'm really on the fence abt turning al into a chimera in this au, cause at what point does it stop being an au where these characters are in a new world and starts being fullmetal alchemist but underground. if i do decide to do it, al's gettin chimera'd
i feel like they would still have issues with killing people. not monsters, and probably not humanoid monsters, but they're not killing people unless they really have to. they both know the spells to resurrect people, anyway, so if they really wanted to they could kill somebody and immediately bring them back to life

looking up language learning tips is like. you need to speak in your target language as soon as you know a SINGLE word. you cannot even BEGIN to talk until you've listened to 947483738833 hours of your target language. study the grammar. don't even think about grammar. find comprehensible input. read the entire first hp book. do flashcards. flashcards won't help you. use duolingo! duolingo is a scam. if your language has a different writing system, learn it! (unless it's japanese or chinese, then don't bother.) here's how to get a PERFECT ACCENT. don't worry about your accent, everyone will understand you even if your accent is garbage. and so on.
