Man I'm imagining 2003/CoS Al meeting the Brotherhood Elrics and being like what the FUCK do you mean you just gave up alchemy and everything was fine??

HE'D PROBABLY BE FUCKING LIVID ; CoS/2003 Ed would just be so done, not angry just - fuck hold on let me draw it.

Shinji posed. Ft. Alcohol for my favorite lil alcoholic.

But oh yeah CoS/2003 Al would probably react either verbally or physically violent. I don't hold that above him.

[rhymo-s]

You have so much to do,

And I have nothing ahead of me.

Rewatched CoS and felt the need to draw Alfons :D

he's holding forget-me-nots if it's not super clear

[fullmetalstarburst]

Look how silly he is

[uvienova]

I just think about it from time to time (bullshit), Ed managed to keep his promise because he was able to get Al his body back, but because theyre stuck on the other side of the Gate, Theres no way to get Ed’s arm and leg returned to him, so Al cant fulfill his promise to Ed and that fills me with despair :,(

I’ve been on a fullmetal alchemist hyper fixation (if you follow me, it would be kind of obvious) and i want to read fics that are fma03/cos and mangahood crossed over. Like both Eds and/or Als (etc) meet each other! I’ve already read @liathgray’s A Hop, Skip, and a Jump series and loved it (probably gonna reread it too)! Now I want to read something in a similar vein as it! If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would prefer no ships!

Wanting to write an fma 03 sorta au or ua fic that has it so Ed's real world counterpart lives, but he and Ed's souls are now intertwined, but the problem is not that but how the timelines fucking work between the worlds! What the fuck! I looked up the German Zeppelin air raids on Britain, and they took place from 1914-18 (obviously, during World War 1), but then Conqueror of Shamballa is set in 1923, so like...what? British Edward dies, Ed gets yeeted back to his world, and then (assuming that when Ed visited, it's 1918) Hohenheim just chills for a few years while Ed is back for like 20 minutes, Envy kills him, Al sacrifices himself to bring Ed back, and then yeets himself back to the other side of the gate after trying to save Al?! In CoS, Ed says he's been on the other side for about two years now.

Like, yes, I get that in the anime, they wanted Ed to wake up confused at where the hell he was, and suddenly bombs were raining from the sky. For the movie, they wanted it to coincide with a significant event in history (Hitler's uprising), but like...what?! And I know there were a lot of changes and cuts from the original fma cos idea/script, but...I'm just...AGH! I need to figure shit out!

fucking hate this anime

Also, my main Tumblr is @aquaseekerofdarkness! About a week ago, I made the stupid little post about Ed's counterpart possibly having a British accent! This is my writing blog, and I like to keep stuff about my fics or original writings here!

[randombook4idk]

no trope wil f me up more than of characters getting seperated forever and not only accepting it, but also moving forward in their life despite them missing the one another and still finding happiness in their new life even if the other one isn't there to see it and has no clue how they're doing on the other side.

and even if watching them leave their lives hurt very much, it will never change how much they love each other and also love each other enough to let one another go. (yes, i quoted a song, shush)

I just needed to show you guys something very weird my friend found today

These were my first ever sketches of Wrath 03, never finished them lmao. I couldn't get his face right, still kinda can't.

Here's my most recent rendered piece, but I kinda gave up.. Bluh.

the pipeline of fixating over some thingy

[the-catmans-offical-2]

The offical art when it comes to Ed and Wrath are few and far between. However, there's some things I've noticed and would like to share!

Wrath, as a human, would have blue eyes - while this is something we pretty much already knew just by watching eps 28 through 30, if you look at Ed's eye color then you'll realize that they're very close to being inverses of each other!

Also Wrath is cool colors (Blues and greens, blacks and purples) whereas Ed is warm colors (Yellows and reds, whites and oranges). I think that's another contrast or inverse between them to show who they are as characters - with Wrath being a homunculus he is colder colors like the tones of a dead body or just generally not something alive, while Ed has warmer colors like a living human would.

There's more differences between them! Wrath's iris shape is (in the picture and originally) more circular than Ed's - who's is more ovular. Wrath also has slightly larger eyes than Ed, giving him a bit of more childlike appearance though his facial shape keeps him appearing as though he is of similar age to Ed. (I remember reading somewhere once, and please correct me if I am wrong but I personally believe this greatly, that Wrath was made with the goal kept in mind that he'd be an opponent to Ed of similar age and similar in other ways as well.) Wrath also has sharp teeth whilst Ed has dull flat ones - oddly enough Wrath's ears are pointed slightly and Ed's ears are rounded, furthermore giving the visual feel that Wrath isn't human. He must appear rather uncanny to Edward or to any human - same with the homunculi in general - because he looks human but with subtle things that make him... Off.

Wrath is all smilely too, whereas Ed looks more serious or weary; Showing off Wrath's inital innocence (which stays there throughout the series until he was betrayed by Dante and Envy, and I will fight anyone on that) and Ed's lingering distrust for Wrath. Fun fact, in CoS he seems to trust Wrath more even though the two never see each other again. Oh, they're gonna be the end of me. ED FUCKING ACTED LIKE HE KNEW WHAT WRATH WOULD WANT, which leads me to believe they had a talk or just SOMETHING during ep 51 that was cut out.

I have no idea what this image is from so please let me know if anyone knows! I've been curious for a while.

Anyway, Wrath:) He's poking out from behind Ed, and there's more things to point out between them!

Wrath is wearing dark clothes whereas Ed's wearing light ones. Like usual, Wrath's hair is down and messy while Ed's is up and neat. This is the offical art that made me realize that Ed has longer, thinner eyebrows than Wrath - who has thicker ones!

Also Wrath seems to be staring directly at Ed, but I personally can't read his expression as anything? Maybe curiosity? I'm not good with reading facial expressions lmao.

I only added this one bc WRATH LOOKS SO SILLY WHO THE FUCK PUT HIM IN A LIL SUIT??? HOW THE FUCK DID SOMEONE PUT HIM IN A SUIT???

I'm looking for a clearer image for this so I may update this post at some point to put the clearer one there if I find it!

Anyway so Wrath and Edward are standing back to back. They have a slight height difference with Wrath as the shorter of the two (I bet Ed is very happy/j)

Ed's expression is more angry or solem while Wrath's is a grin - but both can be said to look angry I'd think.

They both have a hand on their hip (Ed's in his pocket but Wrath doesn't have pockets, L) and the opposite arm resting more languidly at their side. They're both standing straight, Ed's head is tilted slightly downward while Wrath's is tilted up - no one else is shown standing back to back. Only Wrath any Ed. Al is there, standing beside Ed, but Gluttony is standing with his side to Alphonse, and Lust is more off to the side and facing the others rather than with her back to anyone. I think it is to further show that Ed and Wrath are such parallels (and Lust is standing a little to the side, possibly showing how she isn't really obeying anyone but herself - showing how she betrayed Dante and went to help Ed get Al back in exchange for becoming human again; But we know how that played out..)

I'm not really gonna talk about these here, as one of them is simply a scene redraw, and they're more Izumi focused if you look at them - with Izumi appearing somber while Ed looks weary or even fearful, and Wrath is just.. Being a kid. Running and flipping, and then in the redraw fighting Ed and Al.

The same could be said about these!! They aren't really interacting - in the first image Wrath is asleep at a table with the other homunculi, and in the second he does appear to be staring at Ed; But again Ed isn't focused on him.

Probably some of the ONLY FUCKING COS OFFICAL ART I HAVE FOUND with Wrath in it. Wrath and Ed are facing opposite of each other. No one, other than Wrath in the image, is fully facing at a side profile - which at first I thought represented how he had died, but Alfons is there and so is Eckhart.

Ed looks wistful, not angry but not happy. Sad perhaps, which is what he seems to be a lot in CoS. But Wrath, he looks down right angry. Yelling maybe? His mouth is opened wide and showing his sharp teeth, his visable eyebrow furrowed, he looks dirty and tired. Clearly this is during his fight with Gluttony. I love that they're seperated by the margin, representing the Gate kinda - Armestrian characters on one side, 'our world' characters on the other.

Again, this isn't really Ed and Wrath in particular. But I want you all to really look at Wrath. He's licking his Ed arm. In a similar fashion Dante does to Lyra's arm after possessing her body, and basically asking Hoenhiem to.. Yk, fuck. While I definitely don't think Wrath is doing it out of sexual desire or reason (that is a child, that is a child, that is a child), I do believe he's doing it to mimick or copy Dante. Wrath could've seen that she liked Hoenhiem, which is putting it lightly but for the sake of the sake I'll just say she liked him, and then copied her by licking said limb out of liking Ed or desiring (non-sexually) his body/limbs. To become human.

Also jfc Envy is buff, go back to being a twink you loser.

Uhh I dunno, I just rambled a lil. Maybe I'll make another post with this? Maybe not, but this is what you get for now!! Use my ask box if you have any questions! :)

Because you were like the sun, in a world where everything is gray and cold, you seem so bright compared to everything.

I always wondered if those crazy and fantasy filled adventures you always told me are really true, you were always too dazzling, too golden for this kind of world.

Im not a star, im not even a moon, but even then why can't you see me? Im always here

I wonder if there'll be a day where you can look at me for who i am, not the ghost of someone when you look through me.

i can't, won't, not, be the one you're looking for,

I wish you could look at me

I wish i had more time

I lo I know you'll leave someday, away from this place you call a dream that you will soon wake up from, and back to a world you call home, to a world that lost its sun.

Even as my life come to an end, i will still be here, im not just a part of a dream you'll leave behind, im real

Please I hope that when you wake up, you don't forget me.
