Edward in Every Episode ↳ Episode 15: The Ishbal Massacre

what kind of fuckin cues did they give to the voice actor who was tasked with saying “Fullmetal Alchemist” a couple thousand times? bc like it varies based on the context, were they just like “ok now we want you to say it as if it means ‘your entire family was just killed and your town was burned.’ Ok that was great, now say it as though it means ‘i was the only one who bet on the right horse at the Kentucky Derby’”

Lemme know if anyone has trouble viewing the following posts:

[The one with a the word "corpse"]

[The one with the word "vored"]

Edit:

Tumblr explain. What do you mean this post needs a content label?

Having tumblr claim that two of my posts need a content warning and its for the most nothing reasons.

One post simply has the word "corpse" in it. The other?

The word "vore".

😐

Okay, so let me just gush about this little scene right here on one of my gifs okay you notice how Russell is kind of blushing and pouting? Well, okay the reason Russell is in prison with his brother is because he pretended to be Edward again and they were after Ed and Al at the time since they were considered fugitives after running away. Russell and Fletcher had a piece of the journal that they needed to give Ed and Al to show them more about the hidden secrets that Nash left behind before he died.

Nobody notices this ship often between Russell and Ed because not many people know about it or they don’t really notice it due to the lack of scenes the Tringham’s have in the series. They are pretty much in four episodes in all in the 03 series. Which is sad because I think they deserved more than that but anyways onto my point.

Basically, Fletcher asked why did he have to pretend to be ed again after not being him in a while the reason being they were broke and he really wanted those alchemy books.

Well, when Fletcher mentions that they NEED to give the journal notes to the elrics and tell them more about what they know Russell’s over here blushing while thinking of how much he wants to see Ed again so here he is scared to death that he may never get a chance to see him again. this fucks me up in so many ways and i thought that it was important to point out how this man has a obvious secret crush on Edward Elric.

dub vs. subs, Dante's monologue in FMA 03, with interjections from Ed (under the cut because it's long af).

Dub:

"A beautiful story, told to comfort the oppressed and make children do their lessons. The truth is, the law of equivalent exchange is a lie."

"Impossible!"

"To gain, something of equal value must be lost? Conversely, if you give something up, you will always gain a prize of equal worth in return?"

"Exactly. That's why people work hard at anything they do, cause it pays off."

"Wrong. People work because they believe it will pay, but equal effort does not always mean equal gain."

"Like what?"

"Consider the state alchemy exam, which you passed with flying colors. How many others took the test that day? Spent months, years preparing, some working much harder than you. Yet you were the only one who passed. Where was their reward? Is it their fault they lacked your natural talent? Or what about the equal value of each person's life? If I just clap my hands, this baby won't survive."

"Stop it!"

"And if I do it, where is the world's balance in that? Does it mean the baby was only born so that it could die? It's doing all an infant can to survive—breathing, crying for help—but what does it get in exchange? People can say there is a balance, a logic that everything happens for a reason, but the truth is far less designed. No matter how hard you work, when you die, you die. Some people spend their entire life trying to scratch their way to the top and still die in poverty. While others are born into wealth without ever working at all. It's a cruel and random world, and yet the chaos is all so beautiful. Equivalent exchange is a myth. A contrived order to give to a world that has none. Can you accept that now, or do you need another demonstration?"

"Don't use a child to fuel your agenda!"

——

Subs:

"That's something that only a child would say. Like 'make everything equal,' or 'that wouldn't be fair.' However, there's no such thing as equivalent exchange."

"That's absurd!"

"There is a cost required in order for you to obtain something… In that case, if you reverse it… If you pay a price, you are certain to obtain something, right?"

"That's right. That's why people put forth an effort to pay the price."

"But there's something strange about that. After all, even if you pay the same price, you can't always necessarily obtain the same thing."

"Well, that's..."

"There's the State Alchemist Exam, right? In order to pass it, many people spend time studying. That's a cost. But only a handful of people actually pass it. Everyone may start out the same when they learn alchemy, but huge differences arise in their actual abilities. And people's lives are not all equal, either. If nobody does anything, that baby is going to die, right?"

"Stop!"

"It really would be easy for me to kill it. If I do, was the baby born only in order to die? The baby is paying the price of desperately trying to survive. Yet, is death the only thing it is going to get for that? Elsewhere, there are people that kill others, and continue to go on living. No matter how hard you may try to live, when it's time for you to die, you die. When you compare that to people who don't make any effort, yet are afforded riches and power, and live lives of happiness, it's quite unfair, isn't it? The world is quite cruel. Which is why you might say it's so beautiful. Equivalent exchange is an excuse that the weak use to comfort themselves. They tell themselves that by paying a price, it's supposed to make themselves happier."

"This baby doesn't have to make any excuses!"

Where’s your home?

I told you, I don’t have one.

[fullmetal-scar-simping]

Dante doesn’t get the love she deserves she’s been a stone cold bitch from day 1 and never apologized for that she lived her life for HERSELF and herself alone no man or even her got damn son was going to corrupt the purity of her intention to Live Forever No Matter The Cost and frankly we should get more megalomaniacal women characters like that

[fullmetal-scar-simping]

remembering that in fma 03 al and scar's final sacrifices have the exact same bittersweet yet triumphant music and loses my mind

FMA sketches by Ace Attorney's character designer, Iwamoto Tatsuro

For the past week, Iwamoto-san has been posting sketches of FMA characters on his twitter as a part of his daily sketching challenge and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

I really want to share his art over here and also translate his posts for you all because I think his commentaries are quite insightful for people who are interested in character design!

[Those who know their AA lore would recognize him as who voiced Edgeworth (Mitsurugi) in the games :3]

Anyways, below are his FMA sketches he's shared on twitter so far! (Contains: Ed, Hughes, Kimblee, Mustang, Breda) You can click on the dates to see their original post. I will add to this post if he shares any more sketches, it seems that he has been on an FMA roll xD

If you draw your favourite things out you will know them better! So, this is Edward Elric from #FullmetalAlchemist.

Even if you have decided on the pose you want to draw, it is better to sketch out these three first:

the moment before the pose is struck

the pose itself

the moment after the pose is struck

then decide which image works better for your art. I learned this from a really great senior of mine, and it is very solid advice.

29/11/2023 (Translator's note: I decided to move this one to the top because it is my favourite. No I don't accept criticism.)

I have been drawing Ed's automail again.

I like it when the machine part has a distinctly different silhouette compared to the human body, so I added some original ideas to the design.

What design should I draw next? Perhaps I should draw the military uniform?

Again, it is the time of "drawing your favourite things to know them better!"

It feels so good to draw such great characters...

My Photoshop has been crashing for mysterious reasons the whole morning, and I tried to troubleshoot in the afternoon and it was a PAIN. Computers are really difficuuuuuuuult--

I wanted the clothes to give off an oversized, loose impression.

Canon Hughes didn't seem to be wearing a shirt underneath... hmm.

03/12/2023

I am beginning to understand the structure of the military uniform better...

Realising the butt flap/cape didn’t actually connect to the upper jacket is a shocker to me.

A continuation of yesterday's sketch

...or so I thought, until I realized how King Bradley and Kimblee during the Ishval war had a different overcoat design, in which they actually wore a single long coat instead of a separated upper and bottom set.

When his clothes were unbuttoned, there was something that looked like an additional button on his right chest... I wonder if it could be fastened from the back?

(Translator's note: sorry, I have no idea what button he's referring to here lol)

I like how each character's personality was expressed through the way they dress. Contrary to his appearance, this person was very intelligent, which makes him such a great character.
