The biggest thing that absolutely convinced me that Roy's womaniser front is completely fake is Arakawa telling us that he doesn't own a bed and sleeps on a couch.

It sounds to me like Roy is the kind of guy who gets dramatically less fuckable the more you get to know him.

Like, imagine going on a date with this guy who's suave and super successful and a war hero.

It's all going great until he takes you back to his place.

His place is a studio apartment. Even though dude owns several expensive suits and he has taken you to the most expensive restaurant in his expensive car.

He has newspaper cuttings all over his walls and his floors. Some of those cuttings are articles about his war crimes. His wardrobe is open, and you can see that the only clothing he owns are multiple versions of his military uniform and more suits.

He asks you if you want to take things to the couch.

He has no bedroom. Only a couch in the middle of his studio apartment.

You do not take things to the couch. You do not go on a second date.

[homey-comb]

I love the idea of Ed and Al going on their repective travels and sending each other (+ Winry) photos in the mail. Photos of landscapes, new friends they've made, small animals, new gadgets, spices, anything to share what they've seen while apart.

[dyingroses]

I think it would be hilarious if when Ed and Al joined team Mustang they just assumed Roy and Riza were married and like one day much to their confusion and sadness they find out they're not and the rest of Team Mustang has to be like we don't really get it either

Alphonse: Hey, what's Leiutenant Hawkeye's last name

Falman: What do you mean? It's Hawkeye. Riza Hawkeye.

Alphonse: What

Falman: H-A-W-K-E-Y-E, R-I-Z-A

Edward: Wait, I thought that was her nickname since she's the top sniper, "The Hawk's eye"

Fuery: Yeah, but her last name is also coincidently "Hawkeye."

Havoc: Honestly, that's probably where the name came from. The officials at the military academy aren't that creative.

Rebecca, with dramatic flare: Or maybe it was her destiny

Alphonse: So, is that why she kept her last name?

Havoc: What do you mean?

Edward: Why she didn't take the colonel bastard's last name?

Alphonse: Yeah, it could be confusing to have a Lieutenant Mustang and Colonel Mustang

Edward: Why do you think I call him Colonel Bastard, it's not just accurate but strategic

Rebecca: Oh . . . honey . . no

Edward: What?

Alphonse: What's wrong?

Edward: Why does everyone look sad all of a sudden?

Rebecca: *sniffles*

Havoc: *puts a comforting hand on Rebecca's shoulder*

Fuery: The Lieutenant and the colonel . . . well . . . They aren't actually married

Rebecca: *starts crying on Havoc's shoulder*

Alphonse: B-but they're together, aren't they?

Rebecca: *cries even louder*

Havoc: *rubs her back comfortingly*

Breda: No, they're not - I mean, well

Alphonse: Why aren't they together?!

Rebecca, sobbing: WWWWHHHYYYY?!

Hakuro: What the hell is going on in here?!

Rebecca: *furiously screams something inaudible at Hakuro*

Hakuro: *exits scaredly*

Later in Resembool they break the sad and shocking news to Winry who actually takes it a lot harder than they do because she ships them soooooo much

[saturnaous]

I finished fmab lastnight and cried so hard I gave myself a headache. so here's a sketch of me figuring out how to draw Alphonse teehee

[ahbogman]

reunited.

[sailforvalinor]

Another thing to add to the list of reasons Alphonse Elric is my favorite character in FMA is that he fights with swords, spears, giant flying dragons, etc because if he’s gonna get stuck as a soul bonded to a suit of armor then dangit, he’s gonna commit to the aesthetic

[number1greedlingfan]

Headcanons that are meaningless to everyone but me (or extremely niche inside jokes formed by my friend group)

Hawkeye finds pleasantries, mostly "hello"s and "goodbye"s, pointless and kind of annoying. She'll sometimes engage in them in person but never over the phone. She often hangs up while the other person is mid "bye".

Havoc's "tried and true" opener on dates is that he prefers rainy weather because he, quote, "loves to curl up by the window with a good book and some tea". This is not only a bold-faced lie, but it hasn't helped him get past the first date so it's not any more effective than his other lines.

Fuery pulls more women than Havoc does (not that there was any competition lmao) but he is somehow unaware of this.

Mustang's singular hobby that he does purely for fun is building model ships. His only social interaction is with his coworkers because he does not have any other friends.

Ed thinks Winry is cooped up in her shop all day and all night but that's literally only when he shows up because he DOES IT UNANNOUNCED!! Winry has a thriving social life both in Resembool and Rush Valley. She knows every single person in Resembool and keeps tabs on the neighbors. She's invited to dinners and group outings all the time. People mourned when she moved to RV. Within a month of working at Garfiel's, she'd already met most of the people on the street and she remembers most of their names.

Because of her interests, it's often assumed that Winry is a "not like other girls" type but she is the exact opposite. If you say a single misogynistic thing about other girls' interests (like astrology or pop music) on a first date she is getting up and leaving.

Ling is hypermobile and can bend his hands like this️ ⬇️ as well as do things like back bends and pulling his shoulders out of their sockets. When he was younger he would go up to literally anyone (family members, visiting officials, perfect strangers) and ask if they wanted to see him pull his shoulder out and then not wait for an answer.

Ling's favorite fruit is mango. When he was seven he refused to eat anything but that and had so many that he threw up at a family function. (Mangos were ruined for him for two years.)

Lan Fan does not get sick often but when she does It's Bad and she's taken out for a week or more. When she was younger and delirious with fever, she started distressedly mumbling that she was turning into a cookie. Nothing would convince her otherwise (Fu tried everything). In the end, they had to get Ling to help and he calmed her down in seconds by saying "there are no crumbs so I think you're probably okay".

This is a small one: Lan Fan is on the ace spectrum.

When Mei cooks for other people she makes it as cute as humanly possible. Everything that can have a smiley face or heart on it will. Side note, Al and Mei are 100% a couple that cooks together.

Mei is a little bit fujopilled. You understand.

While he seems shady as hell, Greed's rap sheet is actually pathetically small. The worst crime he's ever committed is, of course, the single instance of kidnapping that we saw on screen.

Greed doesn't understand electricity. He thinks it's powered by electric eels ("eelectricity") and has numerous drawings in his diaries theorizing on the mechanics of these machines. Ex: A generator that has an eel tank with a water wheel inside of it. The drawing is accented with large arrows and question marks and "HOW DOES IT WORK"s. That being said! He's not stupid in all academics. Give this guy some numbers and put it in a financial context and he can calculate anything.

Greed likes the "finer things" but he also has bad taste and sometimes these clash horribly. Is the furniture in his home expensive? Yes. Does any of it match in any conceivable way? Fuck no. Also that nice walnut hutch that cost 1.5K is used solely to display his novelty bong collection.

Heinkel and Darius only became close and discovered the other was gay because of the Camping Trip. So,

[psuedostar]

Just thinking about how Ed's automail hurts whenever the weather changes. Not just day to day weather but in extremes, like gloomy rainy days. Or hot humid heat. Either way his ports hurt and body aches.

In the cold the metal starts to freeze and brings down his own body Temperature, along with the fact that metal contracts when cold. His ports would get to tight to walk or move comfortably. Since he's always cold, his immune system goes down and he gets sick more frequently. Frost bite being another big possibility.

In the heat he suffers just as much, his automail heating up and thus the ports heat up his skin making him more susceptible to hypothermia, even heatstrokes and heat rashes (hyperthermia when it gets cold) ,even burning him at times.

Both sides of the coin can also potentially damage his automail. The condensation from the humid heat and the water from frost and snow can lead to the possibility of it rusting his joints and making his automail weaker in combat. Making his reaction time slower due to the bolts and hinges not moving properly.

All these reasons gave me the idea that resembool is the perfect place for him and his automail. The weather doesn't really change, only during rare times of a rainstorm or an unusually hot summer but overall it's a place that's constant. Kinda how Winry is a constant for Ed, with everything else being so hectic and unsure ( the homunculus, the government, foreign royalty, even the possibility of them not being able to get their bodies back) winry and resembool are the things that Ed knows for sure are waiting for him.

It's also where he first was fitted with his new arm and leg. He did his recovery there and so his body has essentially healed and adjusted to the areas conditions. I mean anytime he and Al need to rest or take a break it's usually at resembool, sure it may be for matienence but they feel most at peace there.

Last day of pride month omg

Here are SOME of my aroace headcannons for characters, each character varies on their spot in the spectrum but either way they’re all aroace to ME 🧡💛🤍🩵💙

[thelaughtercafe]

Cuddling Headcanons with Edward Elric

Tea Type: Boba

Potential Triggers: N/A

Pairing: Edward/F! Reader

Length: 180

Summary: N/A

Ed loves to be the big spoon.

I dunno if you’ve noticed this, but he’s a little protective.

Being the big spoon lets him feel like you’re not going to leave him, it’s a physical reassurance he adores.

Likes to bury his face into your neck as he sleeps, the heat and feeling of your skin against his is super reassuring.

Quietly talks of his adventures with Al in hushed whispers until you both doze off, or listens to you talk about your day.

Some days he just gets really quiet and takes in all he has that’s around him, and on those days you make sure you spend plenty of time cuddling him to ground him and remind him it’s all real and he’s safe now.

Likes to cuddle outside in a sunny spot with you on a blanket and fall asleep only to then teach you about the stars and constellations during the night.

The quickest way to calm him down from a nightmare is to hold him tightly and squeeze him until he comes back to himself.

[fma-character-takes]

Headcanon that Roy had to teach Ed how to do taxes at one point and it went about as well as being in elementary school and asking your dad for help on your math homework. Like:

*three hours in*

roy: what does that say.

ed: i don’t know

roy: do you know how to read.

ed, sounding unsure: *sobbing* …YES???

roy: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ, FULLMETAL. WHAT DOES IT SAY.

ed, sobbing: I DON’T. KNOW.

al, sitting quietly in the back playing with the cat he smuggled in: 👁️👄👁️

alternatively trisha taught him how to do taxes before she died because she wanted him to be prepared

[mossyboy69]

FMAB Post Canon Headcanons that no one asked for:

Ed sometimes still uses his left hand for fine motor tasks or to feel the texture of things despite having his right arm back

his right shoulder acts up during bad weather

He never goes through surgery to remove the leftover bits of automail from his shoulder

he says he doesn't want someone to mess with his body to cover up the fact that his previous surgeries were really traumatic and he's afraid of having to go through recovery again

Winry is the only person that is allowed to touch his automail leg

when she's too pregnant to work Ed has to go to another mechanic and all he does is gush about her amazing work

Ed goes through physical therapy to get his strength back in his right arm

He secretly keeps his state alchemist watch (he makes up some lie about how he lost it to Roy)

And proceeds to make his and Winry's wedding rings out of

Al gets a small pendant made out of Ed's pocket watch (is there enough metal for all that? I don't really know or care /lh)

While traveling after the promised day Ed realizes that he gets nightmares when he sleeps alone (which leads to some awkward talks with Al)

Ed & Al make sure that Hohenheim gets a headstone next to Trisha's

Ed becomes a stay-at-home dad because he doesn't know what job to take and he's seen everything he wants to see (at least most of it)

(also, he doesn't want to repeat his father's mistake by staying away)

when Winry's and his children are a bit older and things have settled he becomes a counselor to Roy and the parliament

(aka he gets paid to call Roy a bastard and have a good idea once in a while)

Winry has to force him to take that job because he's become annoying now that the children don't need to be looked after at all times

Ed secretly wishes that their children had Winry's blue eyes (and he'll tell everyone but her)

when they get married it was originally supposed to be a small celebration in Resembool

however Armstrong got wind of it and suddenly it turned into a public affair that ends up in the newspaper

even Ling shows up as official guest

Maybe I should just write a fanfic at this point lol

[rizatouchesthewalls]

Do you ever think that Hawkeye wanted a baby but she never really could so she was eager to take Black Hayate?

She wasn’t necessarily desperate but yk after more variables entered her life than just “Dad” and “Disappointment” (The great staples of childhood) she started seeing more of a future. And while traditional motherhood wasn’t really appealing to her the idea of having a family and a place of belonging does.

Going forward from that, past the war, her plans of having any sort of family life are erased, not only by trauma, but by morals: she finds it wrong for her to create any life after being a killer.

So the years go on and eventually she grows up and of course people have babies and maybe her female friends plan to have their own and the idea pops back into her head but she comes with the revelation that everyone’s definition of family-happiness is so more convoluted than what hers was. (Of course she knew sexism existed, but seriously, are these women really being EXPECTED to have a child rather than be asked?)

So it being a societal standard rather than a choice is a turn off, and she’s nervous to get a husband for that reason (girl ur bisexual js work it out but fine 1920s ig). If she has a partner she wants them to mutually want a family not because its her “duty” but because they both want happiness and love, and she’s not finding that with the one-night date dipshits she’s been taking on Rebecca’s recommendation.

On the opposite side of the coin, Riza doesn’t want to be overworked during it all. Her father was smart, so I’m assuming she’s at least read a bunch of educational books (if not gone to school herself) and she knows how hellish giving birth is on the body and mind, let alone how pregnancy affects it. She doesn’t necessarily want a partner even, rather than someone who can just have her back. But also there’s guilt and I-refuse-to-burden-anyone syndrome so she refuses to entertain the idea to her friends 😭

Overall (and naturally) its all a very difficult decision that has way too many variables: so alternative! Get a dog! I don’t really think this is canon at all by the way I’m just thinking it’d be an interesting narrative if Hawkeye replaced a baby in her mind for Black Hayate.

Hawkeye: Black Hayate is very cute today, no?

Mustang: Yeah… um… why is he in a bib?

[smalltowncryptidfucker]

Thinking about how Edward and Ling are probably just as touch starved as each other, but in like, vastly different ways.

With Edward- based off what I can tell- the only people he knew he could be physically affectionate with in any way, was his mother and Alphonse.

(Not to say Winry and Pinako aren’t affectionate with the boys, but I feel like being physically affectionate isn’t something that comes naturally to either of them. They seem like they prefer acts of service as a way of showing how much they care more than anything, and I think that’s wonderful! Even after the Elric brothers pretty much decided to kiss their hometown goodbye, the relationship they have with the Rockbells is still strong enough to where they know they can rely on them for anything, which is very important.)

But it really sucks, because their mom is long gone, and Alphonse, while he’s still around, no longer has a body. He’s a soul bound to a suit of armor, and he can’t feel anything. And I’m sure that Alphonse is still as physically affectionate with Edward as he can be with the body he has, but the unfortunate truth of the matter is, that if he isn’t careful, he might accidentally injure Edward. And I’m sure that terrifies him more than anything. Alphonse is so kind, gentle and loving, and the idea of hurting his brother by accident, or otherwise would devastate him. So he keeps Edward at arms’ length, just so he doesn’t get hurt.

Whereas with Ling, there isn’t much about his background that we know canonically (that I can recall- if any of you know something, feel free to add on), but considering the fact that he was conceived by the emperor and a noblewoman for the sole purpose of being a potential heir to the throne, and nothing else, I don’t think his childhood was filled with much genuine affection.

I’m sure he was treated well, but there’s a difference between actual love and care for a child, and the pretty much forced respect for the potential heir to a throne. His days were filled with constant training and education to prepare him to run a country, and typically with characters like him, they usually are fed some sort of BS akin to “showing/receiving affection is a form of weakness,” and “don’t get attached to anyone, or you’ll lose everything”. Stuff like that. And not to project headcanons onto a character that no one has seen in canon, but I’m sure Ling’s mother saw her son as more of a way to get more power, than an actual family member. Again, could be wrong, but considering the fact that the emperor produces heirs by just… going to the “best” noble families of each clan in his kingdom to ensure his bloodline is “pure” or some shit, that blatant disregard for family is probably the norm for anyone in power in Xing.

And I know that Lan Fan and Fu do genuinely love and care for Ling, but at the end of the day, they’re his bodyguards. Their relationship is purely professional, and they all know that if they overstep those boundaries, that could spell the end for them. They have to keep him at arms’ length to ensure their survival.

Basically, what I’m saying is, Ling has probably never received a sincere hug his entire god damn life.

So, I’m just thinking that the first time they hug or hold hands or some shit, they’re both so nervous, because Edward hasn’t been held in so long, and Ling doesn’t know what to expect, but then they both just melt into each other.

TL;DR: Ed and Ling share the same amount of touch-starvation, but physical affection was ripped away from Edward, and Ling was never provided any to begin with. They should clearly join forces.

[darkcrowprincess]

Royed thoughts:

Roy and Ed's first date was getting tea and cakes at an outdoor restaurant. It's such a found memory for the both of them that they make a point after they're married to at least go back to that restaurant at least once a month for date night. Also their favorite wedding gift is a tea set they got from Hawkeye. They use it all the time and it's well loved. Yes I based this one headcanon basically on that one image of Ed in the conquer of shamballa movie with him in that cute outfit drinking tea all fancy. I just love the idea of Ed and Roy being all domestic and having tea together with cute little cakes or cookies on matching tea set plates. Roy always makes Ed's cup of tea first and hads it to him. Roy's favorite thing to do is watch Ed take that first sip of tea. All soft and delicate like with the sun shining in his golden hair. It's just nice for Roy to see Ed all soft, calm and content. Where does Ed get all the tea from you may ask? His travels. Everywhere he travels he gets the local popular tea they have in the place he's staying and brings it back home as a gift for Roy. Roy's favorite tea is this golden color blend that matches Ed's eyes. Ed's is this Chamomile tea that calms anxiety and helps with sleep.

Hello! Can I ask for an Edward Elric x FMAB uniform kink? Thanks so much!

Kinktober 2023

Edward Elric - Uniform Kink

“Why did we decide to help the Colonel with cleaning up his storage again?’ Ed complained loudly, as he lifted a box of old memorabilia from the dusty attic floor.

“It’s the least we could do for our ex-fuhrer.” you admonished. “You don’t want him to throw his back out, fumbling with the boxes here, do you?”

Ed grumbled some more, but continued to clear away the space. 

You knelt to pick up the box labelled ‘To throw’. The lid was slightly open and you peered in to find the old Amestris uniform. You pulled out the shirt and exclaimed, “Mein Gott, was ist das?” 

Ed looked over at you and grimaced, “That’s just the old man’s stinky uniform. Throw it out,” he replied before going back to packing.

Devious thoughts went through your brain, and you secretly shoved it into your bag when he wasn’t looking.

Later that evening, when the two of you had returned home, Ed was lounging on the sofa and you were feeling bored. You got up to get ready for bed. 

As you stood in front of the bedroom mirror, you couldn't help but glance at the uniform you had swiped from the attic. It hung there innocently, the military insignia catching the dim light of the room. A mischievous grin tugged at the corners of your lips as she contemplated her next move.

With a mixture of curiosity and excitement, you decided to try the uniform on just for fun. After all, how often did one get the chance to dress up like a high-ranking military officer? You carefully slipped out of her own clothes and into the uniform, buttoning it up and adjusting it as best as you could. It was a bit baggy on you, but it felt surprisingly comfortable.

You admired herself in the mirror, striking a few poses and imagining what it must have been like to be part of the military. You couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence and power as you looked at your reflection.

Just as you were about to take off the uniform and put on your pajamas, the bedroom door swung open, and in walked Ed, rubbing his eyes sleepily. He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes widening in shock as he took in the sight of you in the uniform.

For a split second, something strange happened in Ed's mind. He thought he saw Roy Mustang, his old military officer, standing before him. His sleep-addled brain couldn't process it properly, and he blinked in disbelief. Then, reality crashed back in, and he realized that it was you dressed in the uniform.

Ed's expression quickly shifted from surprise to a mixture of confusion and mild disgust. "What the hell are you doing, Y/n?" he asked, his voice tinged with annoyance.

You, not one to back down, decided to take advantage of the situation. You approached Ed with a playful grin and a seductive tone in her voice. "Well, Ed," you purred, "I thought it might be fun to play dress-up tonight. Don't you find a woman in uniform... appealing?"

Ed's cheeks flushed bright red, and he stammered, "Y/n, this is ridiculous. Take that off right now!"

But you were undeterred. You stepped closer, running a finger along the collar of the uniform. "Come on, Ed," you whispered, "I've always had this fantasy of being with a man in uniform. Please, just this once?"

Ed's resistance wavered as he looked into your pleading eyes. He grumbled under his breath, "You're crazy, you know that?" But against his better judgment, he found himself reluctantly agreeing. "Fine, but just for a moment, okay?"

You practically squealed with delight as she helped Ed into the baggy uniform. It was a comical sight, given that Ed was significantly shorter than the original owner of the uniform. You both burst into laughter as they struggled to get it to fit him properly.

You grinned, feeling victorious. "I knew you'd come around, Colonel Ed." You playfully saluted him.

Stepping closer to you he holds your chin with one hand, "I still think you have been a naughty girl though Liebe. His eyes drop to your lips as he closes his eyes and leans in. You close the gap and your lips meet. His hand goes to your waist pulling you in closer. Your hands lie on his uniform garbed chest feeling the old cotton fabric and the muscles underneath them.

As your tongues fight for dominance one of his clothed hands venture down to your panties. Pulling them to the side he swipes your pussy with a finger, "Wow already wet? Didn't know you liked men in uniforms that badly love." He pushes you onto the bed, "My obedient girl is going to let me do whatever I want to her right." He says more so as a statement than as a question. You've never seen this dominant side of Ed. Your lips stay shut with only moans escaping and your legs pressing together to feel some relief from the aching.

"Tsk tsk", Edward now on top of you pulls your legs apart, "I'm the one in charge. Don't do things unless I tell you to. Got it?" You nod meekly making Ed laugh a bit. Just a few moments ago you were so sensual and seductive, now the uniform has turned you into such a shy little thing for him to ravage.

While maintaining eye contact with you, he brings up one of his hands and takes off his glove in a mostly smooth fashion. He inserts a finger into your eager hole and pumps it in and out. The other hand works its way under your shirt to massage your breasts. Seeing how easily he fit a finger in, he added 2 more stretching you out a bit and making you moan. He goes faster and faster.

As your moans fill the room he starts groaning as well. "Good girl. Taking my fingers so well. I didn't know you were so easy baby. Bit of a slut for a man who can do anything to you hmmm". He felt your pussy pulse from his dirty words.

The hand on your breast soon moved to his belt, unbuckling it and he quickly let his cock come out. Fully erect, it stood there waiting to enter you. Ed sees you practically salivating for it, "Not just yet. I want you to cum on my fingers. Can you do that for me?"

"Y-yes Colonel" you squeak out. The knot builds as Ed fingers you and the other hand plays with your clit. And soon enough you cum feeling a wave of pleasure. You pant and groan coming down from your high.

"Now now soldier, we aren't done yet tonight."

Your colonel,
