ill say it again im a firm believer that ed’s (all versions of him) default state is relaxed, happy, and friendly (as opposed to grumpy, off-putting, jerky, etc). we just see him at his worst/reacting to worst case scenarios. but even 03 ed, who is Depressed Supreme, in his day to day life where we don’t see him as viewers, i firmly believe embodies that kid with a gigantic grin we see in so much official art and occasionally onscreen. and its not just a smile through the pain kind of grin. for a kid who suffers so much, i think it’s nice to headcanon him as a generally happy and optimistic person. he just gets in his moods sometimes that are the result of trauma and being a rebellious snot nosed teenager that give him Bad Mental Health Days. And of course, his hair trigger temper. But default state=happy and energetic and nice to people and quick to bounce back from bad things that happen to him because that’s just life and he likes living it

#also its easier to be a grump around ppl youre closest to so hes more inclined to let himself be in a bad mood around al or winry #sometimes ed has bad mental health days and thats not unusual to al or winry but its not his whole life #that should be obvious i feel but i wanted to state it outright because yeah lets mention that just because #03 ed has the shittiest most traumatic life hes not just miserable all the time because thats not how life is or how people are #and ed of all people knows how to bounce back from a bad mental health day with a good attitude #how else would he be able to keep going #ed is n extravert so of course the times where hes being intriverted is when hes being depressed and grumpy but thats not really him #thats the depression talking #hes an extravert! hes excitable and friendly and chatty on the average day #we just always catch him in a bad mood fkejjcje and i think thats actually a funny thought #like the other soldiers know when to stay away but then like hughes or mustang just approach him anywah #and everyone else is like ‘wow hes approaching fullmetal when hes in one of his MOODS? ok its theyre funeral. teenagers are scary’’
