Hersey Gold and M'n'M?

Hello, friend!

I'll answer these for a few of my buddies.

Hersey Gold- Do you have matching bracelets, necklaces, or other various items?

I really love jewelry, so a lot of my f/os are gifted that.

Of course, Terra and Ash both have Wayfinders, but I think that Ash would get him a small necklace too.

It took her a long time to start to actually like him and she spent a lot of her childhood talking about how he kinda sucks, but he's become of her closest and most treasured friends. Each of the trio gets something different from her (Aqua's comes with some extra kisses. gf privileges!), but that's what feels right for Terra. He doesn't really wear it around his neck much, but it's usually in his pocket.

Seeing Ash give it to him was pretty funny though.

"You're not that bad of a guy."

Ooooooh, you love him sooooo much, you think he's the greatest friend everrrr

Also, Ash and Xianghua have matching rings! They're both very small and thin, very plain looking, but they still wear them. Those two get along really well! They're the bestest of gal pals <3

I've talked about this before, but Raines and Ash have matching bracelets. Hers is green, his is gray. Yaag has one too, but hey! Who cares about that guy?

(*looks at S/I and her having a kid with him* Okay, um-)

M'n'M- Who drives? Who controls that Aux?

Raines drives. That's it.

Ash isn't a bad driver at all, but he's a good driver. Also, I think she has good taste in music.

Saburo can take the wheel. He's already the gang's driver. Any other member of the van gang that's not Kyohei, though? I don't trust them behind a wheel. I would like to choose life.

Dante is not driving. Once again, I choose life. Also, I think I could vibe his music taste. I've always assumed that he listens to music that's similar to the game's ost, and I really love that stuff.

I don't think it's too much of a problem for all my other platonic f/os. Sylvain and her go back and forth, and the others don't really care that much. I just don't wanna see Walker behind a wheel. Ever.

Oh, and Ven is a little too young for that! Ash drives.

Edward Elric (because I want to see) but also Lucy from Fairy Tail (I want to know why you like her and NaLu so much)

Thank you sooo much for the ask!

Edward Elric

How I feel about this character

He’s my short, demisexual, agnostic representation. He’s brash sometimes, but he’s like the nicest person in the world. I wonder how easy it’d be to befriend him. He looks like he’s so busy all the time.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Just Winry. I’ve loved them from a young age (8) and I personally see their love as eternal and nothing will ever change that.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Ling, obvs. I know that the ship is extremely popular, but I really don’t see it. They’re just really good buddies who talk about how amazing their girlfriends are and Ling occasionally crashes at Ed’s place when he doesn’t feel like doing emperor work.

My unpopular opinion about this character

This is EXTREMELY unpopular but I feel like in 03 Ed was made a bit too desirable romantically, including in the games. There’s implied feelings from Noah, Rose’s final arc is all about him, there’s that strange obsession from Dante, and in the games there are, I believe, 5 different girls with implied feelings (there’s apparently a scene where Sophie walks in on Ed in the shower) Learning that there was supposed to be a love triangle b/w Ed, Noah, and Alfonse made me cry

I’ve just never liked the sexual tension and implied feelings that’s common between the main protagonist and the “new girl.” And it is SO overused in anime and distasteful. (If anyone has ever seen more than two movies of Naruto then they’ve definitely seen this) They do this with Roy too in 03.

That’s why I’m a lot more comfortable with Ed’s romantic life in BH because they just focused on one person and didn’t do that particular type of fan service. (In BH Al is the one who gets all the attention without making him out to be this major desired guy)

For me, it just hurts my feelings a bit especially when I know that Winry is keeping Ed in her thoughts, has no other men or romances in her life (because you know girls have to be good and only think of one guy while he attracts as much attention as possible 🙄), and a simple phone call would be enough to make her happy. So I just don’t see why they had to introduce and force in these other characters when a canon relationship was already established.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

Not live the rest of his life in Germany

You know I noticed that Edward has never once spent the night alone. He has never spent a long period by himself ever. I wish there was a point where he was truly all by himself (I’m not counting fighting Kimblee bc it didn’t last long, there were other allies somewhere, and he made friends with Darius and Heinkel quick)

Also, I wish in BH his morals would have been challenged the way they were in 03. That would have made the perfect FMA for me.

Also, I don’t know if I want this to happen or not, but Ed getting taller?

On one hand he’s perfect the way he was and was able to find love being 4’11’ (huge inspiration) but on the other hand, 30 year old Edward Elric is daddy🤷🏻‍♀️

Lucy Heartfilia

How I feel about this character

She’s sooo sweet! I feel like she get put in the back burner a lot and the her enemies hurt her give a strong rape vibe, so that just makes me feel for her more. She gets insulted a lot for her outfits and physical weakness, and it’s not even her fault. She’s actually the most innocent, most abstinent character, but gets criticized a lot by people who don’t know FT.

When I first started watching FT, she just reminded me of Winry. They’re not all that much alike, they’re just real bubbly and have similar senses of humor and they both just looked a lot alike so I think that drew me into her.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Just Natsu. So there are a lot of reasons why I ship them.

I think from the outside they look like you’re stereotypical hotheaded protagonist and preppy girl ship, but they aren’t that at all.

I found this to be so strange, but apparently they weren’t even supposed to be a ship! I thought from all of the canon art and screenshots that they were already together, so I confused (and bothered as hell) when I realized they weren’t even planned! They’re endgame now, though, once the creator grew to really love them together.

One reason I love them together is that for each personality on of them has, the other can match it.

Like if Natsu wants to joke around and play games, Lucy matches that perfectly. Or if Lucy is deep in thought and is bothered by something, Natsu notices immediately and will drop everything to help her.

I feel like before Lucy joined Fairy Tail Natsu was a bit more closed off and spent most of his time at home or on jobs. He fought a lot (in a good way) with everyone else, but I don’t think he really had any friends until Lucy. Gray was a rival and Erza was someone he usually just avoided out of fear. I think she made him more open and sociable.

He spends far more time at her house than his own, tries to read her book (and let’s be clear. Natsu doesn’t read ANYTHING) she’s the only person he consistently goes on jobs with.

I think the moment that really touched me was when Natsu truly thought she died and it put him in such a heartbreak he didn’t care about anything except revenge (we know the affects of END gave him the demonic flames and aura, but that anger and despair was all for her)

They can be goofy, they can sit down and talk about nothing, and they can be tender with each other.

I can go on for days, but those are all my highlights.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Juvia! I wish they had more screen time together that’s not just ��love rival!” stuff. They just have a really cool dynamic and we know that they’re really good friends.

My unpopular opinion about this character

Kinda what I mentioned above, I just feel like whenever she’s being attacked by an enemy there’s just... a rape vibe to it.

For ALL the characters, male or female, they always dress inappropriate for battle and lose their clothing in battles. It’s a sexual anime, without the sexual content.

But with Lucy... they always do this torturous, invasive way of hurting her and I don’t like it.

Like when they’re on the island and there’s this gigantic man hitting her repeatedly from behind and picking her up by her head and just how almost ever enemy is like, “I’m gonna strip you, hahaha” that bothers me and I don’t miss how it’s done to Lucy, the most vulnerable and innocent character, more than everyone else.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

I wish her attacks were more space like! So we’ve got the zodiac thing going on and that’s awesome, but I can see her having powers similar to Captain Marvel.

She’s a celestial girl, so if she had some anti-gravity, supernova stuff going on it would be so cool and it’d fit for her magic type and the show.

Also I don’t want her to be the girl everyone saves anymore. She’s gone one so many jobs and has been training, but the creators still use her as an outlet for someone else to look cool and heroic because they save her.

It’s not even close to being her fault, they just need to write differently than they have.
