thinkin abt the elric brothers on this day
#finally finished the anime last night and i. love them#i love them refusing to take what would arguably be the Easier way out of the situation#like once they learn the secret of the philosophers stone they just decide that they dont need to use it to get their bodies back#and in the end when both ling and hohenheim offer their stones#ed is like //no it's our fault we lost our bodies. i promised al we wouldn't use the stone//#and instead he sends himself back through the portal to get al. gives up alchemy - his life's passion - in exchange for al's body and soul#bc really- he doesn't need his alchemy anymore. life's all about the people you love and care for!#ed gave his arm for a chance to save his brother in any capacity. al gave up his tether to the armor for ed's arm so ed could save everyone#and did it so bravely- trusting that ed would come back#and when ed does come back he sacrifices his alchemy#the story begins and ends with the sacrifices we make for the people we love and the strength that it takes#im in my feelings rn </3

The image is the meme format of the Seinfield meme with Seinfeld asking George,"You're crying from the Elric brothers?"
George replies, "The fact that Ed gave his arm just for a chance to save his brother in any capacity, and then in the final fight Al gave up his tether to the armor (effectively dying) for Ed's arm so he could save them all, doing so fearlessly because he fully trusted that Ed would come for him, and not only did Ed come for him but he sacrificed alchemy - his life's passion - to bring Al's body and soul back without hesitation because his loved ones are what matters most to him, and that's the correct answer to life, thus making Fullmetal Alchemist a story that starts and ends because of the strength and power of love got to me"
Seinfeld replies back with "All right"

I've been thinking about them again (they never stopped thinking about them)
