can’t stop drawing the bad kids

[irrefutablemuchness]

You're sixteen. You're sixteen, and the kid you punched in the stomach offers you a metal flower and dies protecting you from a threat you certainly aren't ready for. You're sixteen and a kid that got detention for punching you because you hit him tells you he went to hell.

You're seventeen. You're seventeen, and you're lost in the forest of nightmares, and you're facing your fears. You're seventeen, and the kid you punched that one time whispers in your mind. "It's me. Keep going." You're seventeen, and you're not dead, and neither is he.

You're Fabian Seacaster, and you think sometimes about what would have happened if Gorgug had died for good that day, in detention because you hit him and he hit you back. But you're alive, and he's alive. And he's here. And you keep going.

sometimes I get really down on myself wondering if I'm actually NOT ace and I've just been saying I am because of my fears of intimacy/trauma/previous bad sexual experiences, and then I log onto the world wide web and read the thoughts you guys put on here regarding real living people in the world and then I know. I am not one of you

[ID: A digitally drawn comic of Toph and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender talking about Zuko’s scar.

It begins with Toph approaching Zuko, who is sitting near a campfire. “You have a scar?” she asks. Zuko replies,  "Oh! Uh, yeah… You didn’t…?“ Toph cuts him off and says, "Came up in passing with the other guys.” Toph casually makes herself a seat out of rock and sits down next to him. “Must be pretty badass if everyone assumes I know it’s there, too,” she continues. Zuko looks aside awkwardly and says, “… It’s on my face.” “Ah.” Toph replies.

Zuko says, “Maybe you could… feel it?” “Huh?” says Toph. “I guess, if I concentrate hard enough.” Zuko reaches for Toph’s hand. “Uhm, just with your hand, if you want,” he says. “I don’t think I can describe it.” “… Gotcha. Guide my hand then, boss,” Toph says. Zuko does so, and there’s a pause as Toph touches his scar. The fire reflects in her eyes.

As Toph pulls her hand away, Zuko says, “…. You know, my left eye is almost blind, too.” “Seriously?!” Toph exclaims. “Why aren’t we a tag team yet?! The blind bandit and the half-blind dweeb!” “Come on…!” Zuko moans. End ID]

Thinking thoughts, I've said before that Ed and Al should've gotten to cry into each other's arms when they got Al's body back, and I've just remembered a half-baked Twitter thread I wrote over a year ago that illustrates some of my reasoning, so I'm just gonna copy-paste it here:

FMA: On the Elric Brothers and Crying

Al can't cry and Ed won't. Ed tells Winry that he can't afford himself to cry until they get their bodies back, but I think a better way to put this is: Ed will refuse to cry until Al is able to.

Their mutual emotional constipation stems from their unwillingness to share their pain with each other. Their sense of self is wrapped around the results of the human transmutation. And I think a very neat way to illustrate this is through their respective relationships to crying.

Al can't physically cry and he can't show expression. His pain runs deep and scathing and isolating, and yet his very condition renders him unable to express it in any way that is not through his voice. In a way, he is like a robot with a soul. Fully aware of that which he cannot do that is so integral to the essence of humanity. It's no surprise that he would question his realness so easily when confronted by Barry. To some extent, he probably doesn't feel human anymore. To be clear, I'm not saying that expressing emotions in a conventional way is what makes us human. Al's dettachment from his sense of self also has to do with the fact that he's been put through five years of massive sense deprivation. He can't sleep, eat, smell, or feel touch. His physical inability to cry is just another fucked up thing in the list of fucked up things that being literally disembodied entails.

But here's the kicker: Al won't say any of this, he won't complain, because he understands that Ed already knows. He doesn't know the extent to which his brother feels guilty but he knows enough not to want to burden him further. And so he can't physicially cry and he won't express his pain in any other way either. It's his own to bear. Nobody would be able to fully understand it either.

Now Ed on the other hand: he carries the weight of the consequences of his idea on his flesh and he walks beside the hollow body that he had to force his little brother into. Where Al isolates his emotions as his own to carry, Ed considers himself the bearer for both of them. It's not that he's deluded himself into thinking that if he feels bad enough about it he can spare Al some suffering, but guilt shapes Ed's very self.

He's the older brother. Bringing mom back was his idea. Their pain is his to carry. The right to heal from that pain is his to earn too.

So he won't cry for as long as Al isn't able to let out his pain that way, too.
