The thing about fmab as a shorthand for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is my brain sees it and goes afab no amab no ASSIGNED FULLMETAL AT BIRTH

[itseasytoremember]

Afab: assigned female at birth

My dumbass: A Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

[enigmakiwi]

I know that FMAB stands for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I know this. I use this acronym frequently. I have for years. And yet, I cannot shut up the voice in my head telling me it actually stands for "Female Male Assigned at Birth."

A timeline of events in Roy’s life from birth up to the Promised Day. Please note that this timeline contains my personal headcanons for Roy’s upbringing.

1885 - December 3rd: Roy Owen Mustang was born.

1887 - Both of Roy’s parents were killed in an incident close to Wellesley in a skirmish between Cretan and Amestrian officers (link). - Chris Mustang became Roy’s legal foster mother.

1888 - Chris Mustang became Roy’s legal foster mother.

1890 - Chris Mustang fully adopted Roy.

1901 - Roy begins studying alchemy under Berthold Hawkeye. - The civil war in Ishval begins.

1902 - Roy enlists in the military.

1905 - Roy graduates from the military academy. - Berthold Hawkeye passes away. - Roy becomes a certified State Alchemist and earns the moniker Flame.

1908 - Fuhrer Bradley issues Order #3066, thus calling all State Alchemists to the front lines. Roy in particular is sent to Daliha. 

1909 - The civil war in Ishval ends. - Roy is promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. - Roy begins putting together his team in Eastern Command.

1910 - Roy meets the Elric brothers and recruits Edward to become a State Alchemist.

1911 - Roy is promoted to Colonel. - Elicia Hughes is born. - October: Edward Elric becomes the youngest State Alchemist in history. He is assigned to Roy Mustang’s command.

1914 - Spring: Scar begins killing State Alchemists. - Summer: Scar kills Shou and Nina Tucker in East City. - Summer: Maes Hughes is murdered in Central City. - Summer: Team Mustang is transferred to Central Command. - Autumn: Operation Fishing Trip takes place. While Ling and Lan Fan encounter Wrath and Envy, Team Mustang handle Gluttony and Lust. The operation ends in Laboratory 3. Lieutenant Havoc is paralyzed from the waist down as a result of an injury from Lust. Roy was able to kill her after sustaining stab wounds along with second and third degree burns. - Autumn: After another encounter with Gluttony, Team Mustang is disbanded.

1915 - Spring: The Promised Day takes place.*

* As a note, I go a canon divergent route with Roy in regards to the end of the manga/FMAB. You can read about that here: link.

Every time I see Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood abbreviated as FMAB i laugh a little inside because i just think:

AFAB/AMAB-> AFMAB-> assigned Fullmetal at birth

[lokis-wager]

Atreus is assigned weeb from birth, poor child (so that's where the sexy cosplays come from...)

Okay but he only watches the good anime like Evangelion and Fullmetal Alchemist and Cowboy Bebop and stuff lol.

But yeah, he was single in high school, of course he's gonna be an Otaku fuck.

A fun thing is my gay nerd friends talking to me on discord about things I don't know much about and using acronyms that scan as close enough to different acronyms that i DO use and it's like....

They're talking about the hit elimination-based television drag competition RPDR and my discourse-addled brain reads "Republic People's Democratic Republic"
