sometimes you gotta doodle in the style your 10y/o self would've sold their soul to have

Happy 10 year anniversary to Korrasami! It felt only appropriate to do a redraw of the art I originally did immediately after the finale.

I'm not sure if folks coming up in today's media climate can fully understand the impact of this moment. Queer rep in shows aimed at adults was rare enough, and my expectation for it here was nill. I didn't think the writing supported Makorra as endgame, but the best case scenario I could imagine was that Korra ended the series single, and I would have been happy with that.

Instead, every flirtatious moment that I had convinced myself was accidental on the part of the writers was validated. It wasn't wishful thinking, it wasn't me watching the show through queer goggles, it was real and intentional and I felt seen. This absolute longshot thing was acknowledged as possible.

Whatever its flaws and however many other queer stories we get, I don't think anything else will ever hit me the same way.

[Image Description: A digital painting of Korra and Asami, shown from the chest up in their formal wear as seen in the finale episode. Korra sits nearer to the viewer, but her face is turned towards Asami so we see only the back of her head. Asami is leaning in to kiss her, her face partly obscured, though we can see her eyes are closed. The second image shows the same concept, but drawn 10 years prior. /end ID]

Matching your freak is beautiful and all but what you really need is a boy who's infatuated with your freak. Down bad for your freak. Deeply intrigued by your freak. Eager to see more of your freak. Supportive of your freak. Gets bricked up witnessing your freak, even.

So a while back @ruinsofxerxes​ was talking about this concept where BH Ed and 03 Ed have dreams of one another’s lives, leading to all kinds of chaos. Which then led to me getting hit with an idea and sending in this ask. 

Anyway, today I finally managed to publish the first chapter of that exact story! I’m so excited to post more of this, I’m having an absolutely fantastic time writing it! I hope you can enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Title: The Other Side

Rating: Teen

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist

Tags/Warnings: Major character death (temporary)

Summary:

In the seven years since Edward Elric had last seen the Gate, he really felt he’d pulled his life together. He’d gotten married, had a couple of kids, and actually managed to settle down. But when his life is thrown into chaos, he finds himself suddenly waking up somewhere he’s never seen before: 1927 Germany.

In the four years since Edward Elric had last seen the Gate, he really felt he’d pulled his life together. He’d managed to get Al adjusted to this world, got an apartment, and even found himself a best friend in Noah. But when his life is thrown into chaos, he finds himself suddenly waking up somewhere familiar: Amestris.

Except… this isn’t his Amestris.

(Also known as “BH Ed and 03 Ed switch bodies and cause chaos in the other’s life.”)
