*gasp* Can we talk about how Greed tried to hide his eye colors with a sunglasses? Or that he somehow tried to hide his tattoo with the bracelets? I mean other homunculi never tried to hide their real self (okay except Wrath but that's understandable) from humans. And I think Greed tried to be more like a human being even if he searched for how to bind the soul with alchemy 🥺
he's so!!!!!! the thing with greed that gets me is that he's first time we hear the word "homunculus," he's the one that tells the elrics that homunculi are real and he doesn't seem all that ashamed of being a homunculus, but at the same time, he's quick to emphasize that he's not all that different from a human, he's physically the same but just sturdier than most. I don't think he has a problem with being a homunculus, but he absolutely feels more of a connection with humans than the others and I think he relishes the "artificial human" part of the definition of a homunculus. being a little different from humans but still human at his core is why he connects so much with chimera tbh, because they're also a little different physically but they're human in the ways that count, and together they make a little band of misfits
#asks#anonymous#fma posting#I hope this is coherent lskjfldkjf i just woke up#something I really like that I think the manga emphasizes more than the anime#is that meeting greed and the chimeras really had an effect on al#beyond just. martel dying in him.#it was meaningful for al to meet these people who don't have ''normal'' bodies#and see that they're happy with their bodies and are living fulfilling lives#I think he could've connected with them if he hadn't been kidnapped and immediately started fighting everyone lol
