i think much of the lens i view Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood) with was first informed by growing up reading Animorphs
#animorphs#fmab#fma#i mean like...#its about the war crimes yes?#how in animorphs our heroes had to win the war#and yet that still didnt justify their war crimes#Jake breaking at the end when no one convicts him of killing 17 thousand civilians#because they won#oh they won#they saved earth#and yet it still matters#and then you get to fma#and roy and riza and the others#they committed these crimes not because they had to win this war#but because they believed in their own military#they believed in the cause#(until they didn't)#and riza and roy are celebrated as heroes#no one convicts them of killing civilians#but while Jake's guilt is very much his own#(he had to win the war and nobody will ever try to convict him)#Riza and Roy's is that of people who KNOW they have to face consequences#these are people who have to face their guilt#because they didn't even save anything#(not that what Jake did was#moral)#they just killed an entire people

Roy Mustang is the type to joke about marrying Riza Hawkeye for tax benefits. Hawkeye is the type to take it seriously. Penciled in that day at 4pm so she can be home to feed Black Hayate at 5.
Mustang still thinks it’s a bit until they’re signing papers. He tries to joke about how lucky he is to marry a beautiful woman to hide how he’s freaking out. Hawkeye tells him that, with all due respect, they’re already destined to spend eternity together in hell, so might as well make the paperwork easier.
She signs the papers and leaves Mustang standing open-mouthed in the office. They never talk about it again.
#to me royai is just like the gay girl homoerotic friendship in high school#is it platonic? is it romantic? doesn’t matter all that matters is that they are each others greatest weakness and saving grace#fullmetal alchemist#roy mustang#riza hawkeye#royai

thinking about fma, one of the things i love about it is arakawa's very intentional worldbuilding. she never gave the story more than the plot needed. we don't get a bunch of flashbacks detailing the characters' lives, eveything that we know about them is only in service of the plot.
the xingese characters are there because they need the secret to immortality to gain their father's favor. and despite this being so interesting we don't really know anything else about them lol. how well do mei and ling know each other? how do their clans stand with one another? anything at all about their other siblings? they get like two interactions and other than the clans just generally hating each other we've got nothing. we don't even get anything about how lan fan even became ling's bodyguard.
then xerxes, a personal favorite of mine. ed and al are kind of casually confirmed to be descendants of a dead civilization renowned for alchemy. are we going to explore that civilization at all? ofc not. anything about hohenheim's past, other that the things you really need to know? nope. we're just generally gonna mention how he's known as a sage throughout both the east and west.
the fact that grumman is riza's grandfather? left untouched. the fact that roy studied under riza's father? you get one (1) flashback.
i love this style of worldbuilding tbh.
#it's so starkly different from other shounen#that will literally get into the details of supporting characters#this story is like nope not here#its so cohesive and structured thats why its soo good#fmab#fma brotherhood#fullmetal alchemist#edward elric#alphonse elric#riza hawkeye#roy mustang#fma

what i love about royai is that during canon it's tragic and trauma-filled and a relationship very much illegal if it ever really became a thing, and post-canon it is still illegal but even if it were not, it would then also be nepotism and we open up an entire new can of worms
#arakawa screwed them over twice#royai#roy mustang#riza hawkeye#fma#also they got better things to do and other priorities. still#if the president were pushing his protege and his granddaughter while they climb the career ladder#not a good look for your new democracy is it#also i know some fanfics deal with this but it is still very funny#my posts and stuff

Royai for me is one of those ships where their chemistry is so amazing, their story so complex, and the fanworks so persuasive and lovely, that I do not have a "one true headcanon" for them.
Do they passionately confess after the Promised Day, when they both almost lose each other? Yup.
Are they too emotionally constipated to confess even after that, until some other dramatic situation finally breaks their resolve? Also yup.
Do they wait until Roy is Fuhrer (or Grumman changes the frat laws) so they don't risk compromising their goals, no matter the intensity of their feelings? Yuppers.
...Were they secretly fucking in supply closets this whole time? Yupperooni!
#They exist in a quantum state for me#Both “together” and “pining” simultaneously at all times#Observing them changes their state of nature#Do you see my vision#This also goes for the question of whether they are fully aware of each others' feelings or oblivious btw#just so we're clear#royai#fullmetal alchemist#Fmab#roy mustang#riza hawkeye#royai week#fullmetal alchimist brotherhood

“I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break.” via Marya Hornbacker
&
“I became bitter and untouchable. I craved affection but even the mere thought of someone caring made my stomach turn.” via @lovey-kun
#been thinking about them a lot recently#roy mustang#riza hawkeye#fma royai#fma brotherhood#fullmetal alchemist brotherhood#i saw someone else post ab how it took until this scene before mustang could allow himself to hold her#sobbing in the corner thinking about them#they’re soulmates your honor#war crimes aside#they deserve such a happy ending#october means crying over maes hughes and royai#i just know hughes was making comments to mustang when riza wasn’t around#Ed 100% picks up on it and makes snarky comments whenever there’s a joke about his height#Back to royai rq#thinking about how touch starved the two of them are#both think their hands are too covered with blood to deserve to touch anyone else let alone the other person

I want to like the found family trope, on paper it sounds cute. Someone who lost their family and network building a new unconditional and lifelong bond with new people is great. It’ the optimistic and heartwarming worldview, power of love and friendship etc.
but all the examples I see of it make me cringe so hard. It’s often just making a woman the mommy momfriend responsible to grown adults who get to be silly or other nucleair family parent/child things. And that parent child dynamic applied amongst adults or characters close to the same age is just.. cringe sorry

hyuai dynamic in my delusion world. riza didn't really like hughes at first because she wasn't used to such a cheerful personality, and also kinda judged him for building a family after all they've done, but she eventually warms up to him. on the other hand hughes always liked her and enjoys telling her about his family because she's a very good listener :^) did you know hughes calls her "riza-chan" in one of the fma games i think that's important
#riza hawkeye#maes hughes#roy mustang#royai#fma#fullmetal alchemist#the only other people that can invade rizas personal space are rebecca and havoc btw#actually most people could. they're just too scared. hughes becca n havoc are the only ones who are immune to her warning aura#and roy but his reasons for not being touchy are different (guilt)

You and I, we are made of the same stardust, our souls forged in the same fire.
We carry the same scars, the same hurts,
Your spirit burns with the same passion as mine does,
We are on the same team or maybe we are on the different sides of the battlefield,
Maybe we are standing together on the world stage or maybe you and i are holding our swords to each other's necks,
We may worship the same Gods or maybe our faiths and beliefs are opposing,
But we still wish to explore the same stars, fulfil our dreams side by side or we just wish to spend the eternity wandering together.
You and I, we can understand each other without words, we can read each other's hearts,
Our actions are so transparent to each other that we fight like we are dancing, so elegant and so in tune with each other,
You, who completes me and you, who destroy me,
You are definitely my soulmate, the other half of my heart.
-Nyx
