still thinking about this!
yknow what. i could throw ed’s ass into the hunger games i think
#nina tucker is the girl who gets called!#she is 12 years old :) had a lot of slips bc her dad (shou tucker) encouraged her to take handouts#without telling her that it would put her at higher risk of getting reaped#she is. defenseless. even after training and all she is. not cut out for this#ed forms an alliance with her immediately and swears to protect her the best he can#she starts calling him ‘big brother’#two of the people he kills in his game are for her i think. just protecting her to the best of his ability#but knowing he can’t. save her. because he Promised alphonse he’d get home safe. and he’s not in the habit of breaking promises#they get separated by a storm or something like that#the game makers know this kid is going somewhere but they need to detach him from nina. keeps things interesting! makes for good television#ed hears some canons throughout the day. prays to god it isn’t nina#but late in the night he sees her portrait up in the sky and he has a moment where he breaks down and Cries#the mutts released later in the game are talking dogs btw :3 that’s how he loses his arm!#a mutt calls him “big brother and he freezes. and it lunges for him#puts his arm up just in time to protect his face but it just. rips it right off#no canon though! he’s still pushin! he fights the mutt off!#fuck imagining him winning the game with a poorly wrapped stump and determination#borderline delirious from pain and blood loss and he still plays his cards right#i need to think more abt the game and what happens#esp those final moments of it#but nina tucker is so narratively important i Had to put her in here#bc her death in the manga and anime is really what spurs the elric boys on and what really catapults them yknow#her death here has a very similar effect#one of the district 9 kids is making it back. if it can’t be nina then it has to be him. he has to avenge her in some way#anyways. twirls my hair i feel insane i feel insane i feel insane#ALSO: MY DECISION TO TAKE HIS ARM BUT NOT HIS LEG#IS BC LIKE. IN CANON ED LOSES HIS ARM TRYING TO BRING AL BACK/PROTECT AL#and this is a similar instance i feel like. sacrifices made so he can go home to his brother#ANYWAYS. IM INSANE I FEEL CRAZY .
