#edward elric imagines

[ontimeuse]

Okay hear me out, you can’t tell me Ed came up with the idea of transmuting a flying fist at least once.

[temsiik]

Someone probably already said something similar to this at some point, but I want to get this out myself: I feel like Roy and Riza not getting an on-screen happy resolution (and an obstacle in them getting it ever, though if they ultimately do is left to the audience's imagination) is not only not a flaw or something missing from the ending, but actually a good thing. Not because I don't like RoyAi - I do, but because it works thematically. This aspect I find interesting when contrasted with the other major couple in the series, Ed and Winry, who get about as definitive of a conclusion as you can get (and with the proposal scene, and the family photo in the montage - the EdWin "confirmation" is pretty much what caps off the series).

 When Riza tells Ed about Ishval, and her and Roy's plan to have those who carried it out tried as war criminals, she tells him to not worry about them, but be more concerned about himself. Basically: "your hands aren't stained with blood, go and be happy, don't get bogged down by those like us whose are". And I think this sentiment applies to the romantic couples: Ed and Winry are innocent, and get to maintain that innocence throughout the story (Ed held on to his principles, primarily about not killing, Winry didn't pull that trigger), so we see them get the happy ending. Roy and Riza aren't innocent, so they don't get that conclusion. I even like to think that that's why in that conversation Riza so casually brings up Ed loving Winry. Maybe she's seeing herself and Roy in them, but unlike with herself there's nothing stopping them from finding happiness together, so she wants them to. I'm looking at this through a shipping lense, because I enjoy examining this aspect from that perspective, but honestly this applies to the ending overall. Ed accomplishes his goals, and through the final episode/chapter we definitively know that he and the people closest to him (like Al and Winry) pretty much get to live happily ever after. Roy by series end hasn't yet accomplished his goal of becoming Fuhrer, his romantic arc isn't resolved, there's still that "tried as war criminals” thing they're planning looming over. His ending is a lot more up in the air. Team Mustang not named Roy or Riza actually do get happy endings via photos, and sure enough those are the ones who didn't serve in Ishval.

FMAB SPOILERS

Kinda stupid but also kinda cool?

Big shout out to the “everytime the elric brothers clap” complications on yt so I didn’t have to go looking through the whole show

[foryoupeko]

Trying to design post-canon Fuyuhiko

It's hard when long hair Fuyuhiko looks like Natsumi

[artful-alchemist]

Hi, I offer you a Pokemon AU 🤲 Teams below the cut (copy pasted bc I’m lazy and I’ll do a proper one later)

Al’s a little biased in choosing the cute ones lmao but he does go more for sturdy heavy hitters, while Ed goes for a strong, quick offense and they compliment each other nicely in team battles 👀

Honestly I’m unfamiliar with pokemon past gen 3 LOL

[rush-the-stars]

there is something about someone like. coming into their own sexuality and appeal after some experience that is very very devastatingly attractive to me

[kiwikyuka]

FMA x Black Butler

I just wanna put the art w/o the colours out there because I like it more ( ; - ; )

[metamatronic]

God I wonder how the Elric's are gonna feel about Hughes being back and. Shit. Who's gonna tell his wife!? It's been two years! He has so many photos to catch up on...

roy “hughes retired to his farm up north” mustang did not, in fact, alert the elrics before the fake news story went public.

bonus doodles below:

also i’m trying not to get emotional over the fact that while missing 2-3 years of most relationships is negligible in the grand scheme of things, 2-3 years away from raising a toddler is huge. Fortunately (?) for Maes, he got back before Elicia could really understand the concept of death, but he still probably missed a lot of milestones. :,(

Since Ed is literally (as far as I remember) the ONLY member of the military we see NOT wearing the uniform you have to wonder if he’s supposed to be wearing it like everyone else and Mustang just does not give enough of a fuck to try and make him

Or Mustang did try to make him and Ed threw SUCH a fit about it that Mustang fully gave up and decided to never mention it again for fear of the full on teenage temper tantrum that he would have on his hands

He does probably get special treatment for being 12 (when he joined) but I also wonder if even whatever authorities were above Mustang were a little horrified by the idea of a 12 year old running around in their military uniform, and didn’t bother trying to enforce it.

That, or they just didn’t care.

finally releasing these doodles from the void that is my camera roll

[id: four images with digital drawings of winry, ed and al from fullmetal alchemist. The first image is a couple colored drawings of winry. On the left we see her standing, full body, looking to the right; she is wearing a black tank top, big bermuda shorts, brown boots and a green bandana on her hair. She is holding a black long suitcase on one hand and the other is in her pocket. Next theres a drawing of her waist up wearing a similar black tank top and green bandana, thick copper gloves and green coveralls with the sleeves tied on her waist; she is facing the viewer full on with one hand on her hip and the other holding a metal box to her hip.

The second image is a close up of the full body drawing from the thighs up. In the third image we can see two drawings of ed; in the first he is sitting with his arms on the backrest, right leg propped on the other. He is wearing a black tank top and his leather pants so his automail is in full display. Next to that we see a 3/4 headshot of ed looking shocked. Above them there is a couple drawings of his automail arm. In the fourth image we can see 4 headshots. the first couple is of Al and Ed when they were kids, both facing the viewer but Al is smiling and looking forwards while Ed is frowning and looking to the side. Below that we can see Al and Ed again but older (post-promised day) with both of them again facing the viewer; Al is smiling, his hair short and messy and Ed has his brows furrowed but he's grinning crookedly./ end id]

I think Alphonse should get to be a bitch sometimes. Just an absolute cunt. The most moody teenager. Utter bastard with an attitude.

[bitterandsugary]

I'm rewatching FMA and Gilmore Girls at the same time and I just caught myself thinking that Ed is Rory coded because I can JUST SEE him say "who cares if I'm pretty if I fail my finals"

[starryrock]

The real reason Edward spared Pride was so that he could get his own special character arc of realizing his own brand of daddy issues.

[inkinthetypewriter]

being the same age or already past the age of a character that died too young is so painful because the way you feel about how you old you are and were back then is exactly how they felt when they died

[kattythingz]

Ducklings...?

This au is way too fun with its lighting. Buuuut I also really liked the lineart and Ed's plain rendering as is, so. Woe!!
