In 1950, a small Mexican town was filled with visitors for the fiesta; however what they didn’t suspect was that some of those visitors were from the future. Two of them were vacationers from 2155, who had been enjoying things not available in the war torn future. Not wanting to return to the bleak future and their roles in weapons design, they decided to defect and stay in the past. The other visitors were hunters from the future sent to bring them back.

If King Charles dies on or before March 25th, 2024, he will technically be the shortest-reigning king in English history.

Anyway, like to charge, reblog to cast.

Another sketch from the Nightstand Archives: In This Scene Edward King, called "Eddy" by his family or "Ed" by friends, is a retired professional boxer. Edward "King of the Ring" was the two-time world heavyweight champion, but he retired after 12 years--at the peak of his boxing prowess--to prioritize his family. He never got rich off of boxing, but he did have enough of a reputation to buy his old boxing gym and get certified as the new coach when his old trainer retired. But his pride and joy was his family--his loyal wife Caitlyn "Cat" Stone-King, his son Leonidas "Leo" King, and his daughter Madeline "Maddy" King, and he never once regretted his choice to choose a more quiet career closer to home. He was especially close with his son, Leo, coaching him in youth boxing until Leo was champion of the youth regional league.

However, the King family was not necessarily financially comfortable. Ed never got rich off of boxing (his money went into his house and buying the gym), he struggled to pay the bills each month, and his business was barely able to keep itself afloat, but there was always just enough, and he even managed to save up for his children's college education. But just as Leo was about to graduate high school and get his first professional boxing contract, Ed's daughter Maddy got pregnant. There was no question about keeping the baby, but the extra costs of a new cub in the family was enough to make Ed seriously worry about his family's financial future. It was only Leo's decision to reject a career in professional boxing, start working, and do college part-time that kept both the family's finances and the boxing gym afloat for almost 6 years (Ed and Cat worked more than full-time at the boxing gym and could find extra jobs), until Leo was hired by his dad and got the idea to expand into MMA. His bold idea paid off, and now Ed's Fighting Gym is beginning to take in more and more revenue, slowly but surely. Here, Ed is taking a breather after a workout of his own. He now specializes as a striking coach and serves as his son Leo's primary coach as they prepare for Leo's MMA debut.

Limiting the choice to the shows and movies I have seen/know of. I'm not asking who the first actor you have seem playing Arthur was, rather the one you instinctively think about when someone mentions him or the one closest to your heart.

At the end of "Fullmetal Alchemist", Ed Elric quits the military, has given up his ability to "play god", and is (as he has been since he burned his fucking house down as a tweenager) homeless, disabled, and crashing at the Rockbell place to help his very sick brother recover.

And it's easy and funny to imagine Edward Elric essentially becoming the house husband of successful and innovative automail mechanic Winry Rockbell (and later a stay-at-home dad). Small family businesses are pretty much always a mess of needing an extra hand just to answer phones and the mail, to schedule appointments, to deliver and pick up parts, to organize stock, to "just hold this for a second for me", and so on. Pinako is not getting any younger and could use someone to cook dinner and fix the roof while she rests her back!!! Winry is busy!!!

There is also always a lot to do in a rural community, so I'm sure that Ed would find another hobby in the absence of alchemy and could turn it into a gig if necessary, if he really doesn't like automail. He has a lot of skills that he could potentially turn towards an income. I've also generally assumed that Ed made a pretty decent amount of money as a State Alchemist and still has some generous savings on that front.

But I was also thinking that it would be kind of funny if being a State Alchemist came with incredible retirement benefits. Like, the military wants to lure people in with wealth and power and resources - and then make alchemists desperate enough to keep these things that they become walking weapons of war, commit horrible crimes against humanity in the name of "research", and/or resort to human transmutation and become viable sacrifices. Ed never had to worry about getting kicked out (and presumably losing his benefits) because he was a perfect human sacrifice from the get-go (although he didn't know this). I'm guessing a lot of State Alchemists were never actually able to retire between dying in wars, failing out of the program (the brass finding excuses to save money! Bosses are always cheap!), getting arrested for speaking out or actually getting caught publicly doing bad shit, and being murdered for their crimes against humanity.

But, in theory, maybe the State Alchemist retirement benefits were absolutely incredible if you could somehow survive long enough or get permission for an early, "honorable" retirement, because King Bradley (who let's say set up this financial bait) somewhat reasonably assumed that Father would completely destroy the country before he'd ever have to pay out a pension. Which means that Ed could be out of the military for years and somehow still costing Roy Mustang a lot of money.

When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus," or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that.
