FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST - E.30. Assault on South Headquarters Aired 20 years ago, 05.01.2004

Oh you absolutely can. That's a killer closing line for a short story designed to put the reader's soul through a mincer.

Having headcanons is so fun because sometimes you’ll be like “I believe Blorbo suffered childhood trauma, specifically abandonment and ostracism from their community, and this is the reason they took X action in canon. I base this off these brief but telling conversations they had with others in five different episodes, plus their reaction when Skrimblo disappeared for two days.”

But then also sometimes you’ll say “I think Glup Shitto is lactose intolerant.”

Sorry for being chronically online but theres something so tender about seeing the first online interactions from years ago between mutuals who are now inseparable/besties/dating even. To have such concrete proof of the first time you encountered each other through an innocuous "i love your edits:)" comment on a post... i dont know, i think it's one of the cutest things about the digital hell era we live in

leitmotifs never get old to me like holy shit dude there’s this melody that corresponds to this one guy and if you hear the melody it means the guy is there. holy shit. and sometimes it refers to ideas too not just guys. has anyone heard about this

[wingsofescape]

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

I like how Arakawa is inconsistent on their height difference... honey I shrunk my lieutenant

I've just noticed I've never posted this one so here I am, come back from hibernation, to share with you my piece for the @fmatriozine

[wingsofescape]

Yesterday, a person claimed that FMAB was superior to FMA’03 because the latter did not have Olivia Milla Armstrong.

FMA’03 did not have Olivia Milla Armstrong, but FMA’03 had:

Lust

Rose Thomas

Trisha Elric

Sloth

Winry Rockbell

Maria Ross

Sheska

Izumi Curtis

Dante

Even though they did not command an army, and only some of them could fight, they were still strong female characters with depth and nuances in their own right.

One more thing:

FMA’03 had female friendship.

Winry?,,, from fma???,,, in 2022??????????? It’s more likely than u think babe

Also I understand that anime has its own art style and such, but I’m tired of characters in their early teens looking like young adults. I find it way more fun to try and draw a 15 year old as, well… a 15 year old?? Also because this is fma, I feel like it makes the story way more impactful bc their literally children???????

It doesn’t need to be anything super specific or hyper realistic, but I just think it’s more interesting to find ways to show a character’s age in their design (among other traits and qualities ofc)

Maybe it’s better to have the terrible times first. I don’t know. Maybe then, you can have, if you live, a better life, a real life, because you had to fight so hard to get it away⸺you know?⸺from the mad dog who held it in his teeth. But then your life has all those tooth marks, too, all those tatters and all that blood.

I know he is not taller than her at first, ok

[wingsofescape]

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

[wingsofescape]

The point of fiction is actually to put that guy in a situation™️, and he might try to tell you the point is to then get him out of the situation, WRONG, second situation

thinking about how edward elric's definition of humanity almost entirely depends on what makes more for a less painful truth. the slicer brothers have to be human, because otherwise that means ed basically killed his brother and replaced him with a fake.

but on the other hand, Sloth can't be human, because otherwise that means ed and al basically desecrated their mothers corpse and rebirthed her into the world as a monster who hates them
