When looking at the fanon interpretation of your fav fma ladies, what makes you go like yesss she would say/do that!! And what makes you she wouldn't fucking say/do that?

(Happy birthday!!)

oh my gosh thank you so much!!! i did my best with these, i feel like i might be forgetting stuff but i tried!

izumi:

i love it when people treat her as the elrics adopted mother! i think there's a reason why she lost a child specifically and why they lost their mother, and while the rituals they did to bring those people back didn't work, they still found their ways to each other. love it when people INCLUDE HER also!! so many times in fanon stuff she just gets left out completely and it makes me sad.

hate it when people call her abusive? like. the manga makes it really clear that she's doing all of their training with as much care and caution as you CAN do a martial art, and that her assistant was watching out for them while they were on the island (and kicking their ass but you know. he knew they were safe). she's a good mom and she's a good teacher and i won't hear it.

olivier:

olivier as a character is like wildly deeply nuanced and layered and i really love fanon posts that engage with her on the level of that complexity! she IS that complicated.

one of my biggest olivier "she would not fucking do thats" is almost any non-izumi ship, and it's not like. it's not like.. BECAUSE of izumi. i polyship all the time. it's just. she would not fucking do that. roy mustang she hates, her assistants are also men, riza is her friend and very specifically in the same cateogry of friend to her as jean havoc... so...? so probably that yeah. i just can't get into any of them. i have tried.

riza:

probably the most in character thing i've seen in this:

(edit by spidermanifested)

also i love everything by tumblr user courtmartialme. he's so good and he draws her with so much love.

i think my biggest and worst crime against traditional fma fandom is that i believe riza hawkeye is aromantic. so like. it makes me feel "she would not fucking do that" about so much royai content all of the time. and i still love queerplatonic royai so much so i reblog it a lot with my qp glasses on but the super romanticy stuff i- oh. OH. even worse than that is royai parent stuff. either as the elrics parent figures (they r coworkers at worst and weird uncle/aunt at best) or as having their own kids. augh

lust:

biggest fandom "she would fucking do that" of all time is THIS. which i hope everyone has seen. forever. she would. i am writing a whole fic about how much she would.

a lot of rizalust art has lust in a position of being the one to be sort of menacing and scary, terrifying riza as much as she turns her on, and like. while i do think she has the capacity for that VERY much, i think it's way more fun when she's pathetic. <3

also i wanna see more acknowledgement that her dad sucks too

For the ask game, 🍎 or 🥀?

Ahhhh how am I supposed to choose? 😭

alright, since it's gonna be so long before I actually get to share this one, have a quote from Vox Populi!

🍎 favorite angst quote from a wip

She was quick about it too, which most definitely wasn't for his benefit but he was glad for nonetheless. The soldiers were still just standing there, staring unabashed, while he got his fucking limbs taken off. He just wanted to put his fucking clothes on again. Except—he realised with a start—he wouldn't get to, would he? They'd put him into some kind of shitty prison shift. They'd take it all away. Not that he'd had much to begin with, most of his belongings were left behind in Briggs. Only the clothes on his back, his boots, a few cenz in his pockets, and his silver pocket watch. Plus an arm and a leg, of course. Ed tried to fight down the panic suddenly constricting his throat. He really was going to jail. He wasn’t getting out of this. He wouldn’t leave here again except for his trial, and then he’d be sentenced to death and executed or conveniently sacrificed but either way— He would spend the rest of his life here, however long or short that may be. A jolt ran through him as his leg was disconnected as well. Light-headedness made the room spin around him, untethered without the familiar weight of his automail. How the fuck did he end up here? What was he going to do?

🤭🤭🤭

God I love this fic so fucking much. Thank you for asking!

if you could change one thing about all of fma what would it be

i think you and i have talked about this before but i will always take an opportunity to rant about it. it really has never sat well with me that mustang uses the philosopher's stone. i understand that he feels being blind will get in the way of his goals, but being that his goals are to help the ishvalan people, it seems.... uh. bad. to use a stone made out of their souls to do that. esp since the person giving him "permission" to do that is the guy who made it, not even an ishvalan? it's not good!!! i get that like... i get that the difference is that he did not perform the ceremony willingly. i understand that. i don't think he deserves to be blind--but i don't think the people who did it willingly deserve what they got either, even if they feel like they do. and besides that, when it comes down to it, it is ableist to assume that he couldn't be a good ruler or a good diplomat while blind.

now. if i could change two things. it would be for hohenheim to actually be a dad after the promised day instead of like. dissolving into wind or whatever. like i know, i know he was busy saving the world so he couldn't be a good dad sooner, sure. whatever. BUT DUDE? teen boys still need a parent? you're alive and you're here, you don't get to go all "my work here is done" bc it's not, it's only just starting. dude. get it together. come back and raise your kids.

sorry to @heavenlyshadowhunter i know u love him but i do want him to get his shit together lol
