#BloodSealed

[astrofons-highderich]

Do you think 100 year old Edward Elric ever saw these being sold and had an instant existential crisis?

Just absolutely loses his shit thinking about people purchasing a cutesy decoration of his worst mistake?

Casually walks by one at an acquaintances house and has to keep the world's most pained grin to avoid a deeply upsetting conversation about a small rug currently covered in dog hair?

[chirpingchorus]

pain: all my fic ideas so far are post-03/post-shamballa.... i therefore cannot write them until i finish my rewatch or i will commit the heinous sin of Being Innacurate In A Fanfiction For A Show That Is Not Always Internally Consistent. this cannot happen.

[treevore]

nothing makes me go "i am gods strongest and most patient soldier" like summoning in to help people with mohg. before the dlc it was like "yeah lets murder this fucker lets GO" and since the dlc came out it's been a lot of "oh buddy if that's how you're going about this, you're in for a rough fucking time"

Can You Lick the Investiture?

As requested by anon. :)

There's a post on tumblr somewhere that asks, "can you lick the science?" And it's like: geology-yes, physics-how?, chemistry-DO NOT, etc. So now we're going to ask the all-important licking question of investiture. So...can you lick the investiture?

1. Starmark (White Sand)

Do not lick a person's Starmark without consent! Got consent? Go wild, I guess!

2. AonDor (Elantris)

The Elantrian who has just drawn the glowing Aon may not want you to lick it, but it won't harm the Aon in any way--and don't you want to know if it makes your tongue tingle?

3. Surgebinding (Stormlight Archive)

What are you licking exactly?? You can lick the gems, I suppose, and you can lick some spren, but only if they want you to. If you are trying to draw in Stormlight, then I don't think licking is the right move. Seriously. Stop licking the gems. It's getting weird.

3. Forgery (The Emperor's Soul)

Ha ha! Lick that stamp all you want! Feels real, doesn't it?

4. Bloodsealing (The Emperor's Soul)

DO NOT LICK THE BLOODSEAL

5. ChaySan (Elantris)

Good luck! The practitioner is leaping all around, constantly in motion. Can your pitiful tongue really keep up?

6. Allomancy (Mistborn)

Hell, yeah! You should definitely lick those metals!

7. Hion (Yumi & The Nightmare Painter)

Honestly, I bet those hion lines and hion lights look like a delicious forbidden treat. You should lick them.

8. Feruchemy (Mistborn)

People do not want you to lick their jewelry, generally speaking. Is it YOUR jewelry, though? Then lick away.

9. Hemalurgy (Mistborn)

S-Stop it! That's a dead human! The spike is very gross as well, PLEASE do not lick it!

10. Awakening (Warbreaker)

Can you lick someone's Breath? I don't think so. Can you lick an Awakened object? Yes, but depending on what it is, could be risky. Can you lick a god? Yes, and they might be into it.

11. Dakhor (Elantris)

I think you will be killed.

12. Old Magic (Stormlight Archive)

I would not recommend licking the Nightwatcher. Or Cultivation. They may alter the deal.

13. Sandmastery (White Sand)

T-That's one way to get water, I guess. But licking sand? I don't think you'd enjoy it.

14. Aether (Tress & The Emerald Sea)

NOOOO YOU WILL KILL US ALL

[rubenesque-as-fuck]

Talking to someone on a dating app, they say that they like anime and hope to someday get a tattoo of Al's bloodseal from FMA. I responded, "Well I sure hope it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg! 😂"

The response: "Oh it'll be a pretty small, shouldn't be expensive."

😐😐 Joke went right over his head.

[ravio-the-cabinet-man]

(id: three drawings based on fullmetal alchemist brotherhood.

the first drawing is white lineart of a close up shot of alphonse showing his bloodseal. the bloodseal is bright red, and the background is black.

the second drawing is of edwards automail arm on a black background. the lineart is white with a red glow around it.

the third drawing is the same as the second one, except there is no red glow, the lineart is grey, and the arm is colored in.)

spoiler for later in the series (episode 41) under the cut. includes blood.

(id: a drawing of the scene where edward elric impaled by a beam from the mineshaft collapse. he is on his hands and knees, and bleeding. the lineart is white, the blood is bright red, and the background is black.)

[butwhybother]

Weedfingers (the Bloodsealer) and Bluefingers should meet up.

They can exchange notes about how people gave them nicknames about, of all things, their fingers.

They can share the griefs of working for an empire that they really don't like.

They can commiserate over being really surprised by a magic user who turns out to be a lot more competent than previously estimated.

[onlycosmere]

Questioner: Let's say a Bloodsealer got his hands on a Dakhor monk's bones. Could it still access the Dor. *Inaudible* Could they even be reanimated, and could they still be useful?

Brandon Sanderson: That's a really good question. So the bones are a conduit, much like Allomantic metal is. Allomantic metals are pretty easy to affect Investitures.

I would say getting ahold of a Dakhor monk's bones, likely, would work. Likely, they're not going to resist too much. But, I'm going to say harder to access the magic than you'd think, but easier than with regular bones.

So I'm going to give you a yes.

[humming-fly]

What do you mean Al would have died if Ed died at Briggs? Al had already left when Ed got impaled

their souls were pretty tied together, ed passing out after getting impaled and almost dying is why al collapsed when he was walking around with winry and their group - they had to carry his unliving armor with them and just hope that he would eventually come back. If ed had actually died, there’s a good chance al would’ve followed almost immediately after

So. I did a thing a few weeks back. I got a new tatt. #alphonseelric #bloodseal #anime At this rate you would think i was an #otaku . The artist was amazing! Highly recommend. (at Lafayette Ink Tattoos) https://www.instagram.com/p/BufafWeAgXn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gv7h7sq5gyr6

Cosmere Inktober 2022 Day 4: Chains Shai and the Bloodsealer's "Chains." Or in other words, using blood magic to imprison a person is the fastest way to prove how desperate you are.

[botanicaxu]

This is actually a discarded piece... I just used it to test the color, but it turns out to be far more interesting than I first thought. Soon I’ll probably get back to my Emperor’s Soul art project =)

How I, Cosmerelists Blogger, Would Handle Each Type of Investiture

It's my wife's birthday tomorrow, and I asked her what kind of post she wanted for her birthday, and she said she wanted me to write a post about myself. [For those of you who used to read Bleachlists, this is entirely due to her love of the "What if BLG replaced Aizen" post back in the day.]

So, uh, here we go!

1. Allomancy: 4/10

Here's the thing: I'm bad at swallowing pills. I have to not only take a sip of water first and hold it in my mouth while I drop in the pill, but I also have to, like, psych myself up to swallow properly. And I know that the metal shards are really small, but I know in my heart that I would have trouble with it. Vin and Kelsier and Wax are, like, chugging vials of metal in the heat of battle. I'd be like, "Wait! Hang on a second; I just need to take a moment here." And then I'd die.

2. Hemalurgy: 0/10

I hate blood. I hate being stabbed even in a blood draw. I capture centipedes alive and take them outside too because even though I don't like them, I would like killing them less. I would not be able to perform or receive hemalurgy. It sounds like the worst possible time.

3. Feruchemy: 10/10

Hell yeah! I wear jewelry and I wish I could use it to store attributes for later, be it health or memory or speed or anything really. And I like that there's no swallowing or stabbing involved!

...This post doesn't have any weird innuendos going on, right?

4. Awakening: 5/10

Awakening would be...fine, I guess? It seems pretty complicated, but I can probably memorize short commands, wear colorful clothing I don't mind draining, and...oh yeah...subsist on the souls of other people? Yeah, I don't know about this one for me.

5. AonDor: 4/10

I'm really not trying to be hard on myself! I am good at many things. But coding is not one of those things, and I get the sense that that's what the AonDor is. Plus, drawing?? I don't have a very steady hand. Do you think they'd accept, like wonky Aons?

6. Dakhor: 0/10

I already have arthritis. :( I don't want twisty bones!

7. ChayShan: 2/10

I don't even remember this one really. But it sounds like it's about precise, circular motion and spatial awareness, and I have to close my eyes and think hard to put on chapstick (don't ask).

8. Forgery: 6/10

I am pretty good at research; I did grad school and all of that. I'm not really artistic though, so the making part of the stamp might be tricky. But learning the long history of an object or person does sound right up my alley!

9. Bloodsealers: 0/10

I don't like blood! Why are so many of these powers blood-powered???

10. Surgebinding: 9/10

I'd love to have a little friend who was with me all the time and deemed me worthy of special powers thanks to my innate worth. No Radiant has ever had a lick of self-esteem, and yet, I feel like that would be very good for one's self-esteem. Plus, I have always wanted magical healing powers, and (metaphorically!) drinking light feels like a cool way to get that.

I don't like heights, though, so I'd shy away from any of those "soaring through the sky powers." Maybe I could be one of those ones that stay on the ground. A ground Radiant.

11. Voidbinding: 7/10

In my head, this is kinda like just "evil surgebinding" but I'm sure it will end up being more than that! It's still basically having a friend who gives you powers, right? Just, the friend is...evil?

12. Old Magic: 3/10

I don't like taking risks. If I knew every wish came with an attached curse, I would be like, "Nah." Like, that isn't even gambling. You KNOW half of it will be bad!

13. Sand Mastery: 3/10

I still haven't read White Sand, but I am a very thirsty person, and I don't want a power that will suck water out of my body, which is how I think this works maybe.

14. Hion: 10/10

Yeah, I mean, this is just humming, bisexual electricity, right? 10/10 no notes.

15. Charred: 0/10

I mean...this is a no brainer, right? Nobody wants their chest, memories, and souls burned away by a very hot ember on a long pointy stick. I'm very white. I get burned by a normal sun.

Anyway, happy (almost) birthday to my wife!

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
