Can we get Izumi for the ask game?

How I feel about this character

-> Ngl, I don't really like Izumi. I can't say why nessicarily, save for her treatment of 03 Wrath and how she treated the Elric brothers, because I just. Don't like her? I dunno, all the mother-esque characters make me feel weird. (This would include Trisha/03 Sloth.)

-> I don't really have much to say about her in comparison to other characters ngl. It's also 1:25 AM so I don't got my mind all there.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

-> I only ship Sig with her bc I don't see her with anyone else, and the two are canonically together.

-> I've seen a ship pairing of her and Olivier Armstrong, I'm not opposed to that shipping I think? I don't remember much about Olivier, needx to rewatch fmab still.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

-> I feel like her and Pinako would be decent friends??

-> Maybe if she met Hoenhiem she'd of befriend him, I'm pretty sure she befriended him in fmab so I wouldn't be off on the assumption.

My unpopular opinion about this character

-> Her beating the hell out of Ed after he told her that he and Al tried bringing back their mom was *really* uncalled for; A lot of her physical violence is uncalled for in my eyes, bitch threw knives at Ed when he was trying to get information from her. Unlike Winry, her violence doesn't come from worry (well, it does sometimes but it also doesn't; Izumi is also a grown woman whereas Winry is a little girl who ends up growing to realize that she can't just beat the fuck outta someone bc she's worried or frustrated with them because of that worry.), Izumi does it as a method of teaching. Even good behavior is given punishment.

-> Ed and Al are genuinely terrified of her, and when she hugged Ed after beating his ass; HE HAD A RIGHT TO LOOK AS BAFFLED AS HE DID.

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

-> I wish she didn't beat Ed and Al to fuck like she does. Maybe then Ed and Al would've visited her or told her things, like when Ed became a state alchemist and shit. She learned years later.

-> 03 Wrath shouldn't of forgiven her. That's it.

-> That being said, I wish we could've had Izumi and 03 Wrath interacting more.

Tucker killed Nina and later tried to bring her back to life.

Izumi brought Wrath back to life and later tried to kill him.

“you dropped your dead bear": a love story

[cuchufletapl]

Crazy that Izumi called her employee at the meat shop and said something to the effect of, "Hey, I know I'm only giving you a couple hours notice but I've got two kids that I'm going to ditch in Yock Island for a month to test them, could you hide there and watch over them covertly to make sure they don't die. I'll pay you extra if you also put on a komainu mask and terrorize the shit out of them." And then Mason, the otherwise completely normal butcher's assistant, was like, "How did you know this was my life's dream," and went off to live in the wilderness and attack children for thirty days and nights.

You know I do think it's interesting how strongly Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) makes the point that bringing someone back from the dead is inherently selfish.

I've seen it elsewhere but not nearly as unequivocally and plainly put. First, we have Majhal in episode 4 - an alchemist so obsessed with bringing back his dead love, he completely fails to notice that she survived and returned to him. And even once the truth is revealed... he rejects her, since she's not the ~perfect girl~ from his memories, but an old woman - an actual person, with an actual life.

And if you missed it there, we then meet Tucker, so obsessed with keeping his lifestyle and success as a State Alchemist he does, you know, that. And then he goes on to become obsessed with bringing her back - but not her, not really, as he straight-up tells Ed in the 5th laboratory - he wants the girl from his memories, the perfect, unchanging doll.

Both times, we see that those obsessed with bringing someone back from the dead aren't interested in bringing back a person, with thoughts and feelings and their own independent life to live - no, they want their idea of that person, the glowing angel who could never change, never grow, and never go wrong. And that also goes for Ed and Izumi too - Ed was so obsessed with bringing his mother back that he ignored Pinako, ignored the family that took him in, and selfishly put his brother's life at risk... for which he paid the price. Izumi lost her ability to have future children, any of them, stuck on a dream on the child she could have had. Both didn't want that mother/child - they wanted their loved ones, the ones they dreamed of, not the ones that were actually there.

Most times resurrection is brought up in media, it's with the lesson that "oh, the cost is too high", "oh, you're disturbing their rest", "oh, they don't come back right." It's rare to see it put so clearly, so obviously, so horrifically that actually, no, even the fact that you attempt it - even the fact that you want to - is an inherently selfish act, that turns your back on life and the living to chase a dream that may not have ever existed.

It's an interesting take on the whole idea, of death and life and memory and obsession. For all that 2003 dropped the ball on the ending, I do love the development they gave to the characters!
