#fun fact i really considered killing al off in itcol

oooo for fma03 🧡💔

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

I wouldn't really say I have any, tbh! Most of the 03 analysis I've read comes from @daylighteclipsed and @calangkoh and I agree or at least find their takes super interesting, so there's nothing I properly disagree with.

If I had to name one (not popular though) theory I've seen floating around is that Alfons is actually Winry's CoS counterpart, which, while interesting, I don't vibe with.

💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?

This is going to get me SO MUCH flack, but faced with the choice... I would remove Al. There's so many angsty implications whether he dies during the transmutation or while they're trying to get their bodies back that could be explored. I actually have an idea for a canon-divergent AU where Ed doesn't revive Al at the end of 03, and how he copes with it. But that's a story for another time...

Thank you for the ask, hope you like the answers!
