#ive seen the fullmetal alchemist brothers

[bonesbuckleup]

I wonder if all the people making those very nice fanvids set to the choral Like a Prayer from the Deadpool movie are aware what that song is about.

[dreamyeuphoricll]

Most hated characters according to the internet.

Reasons:

1.Mahito

(I) Pleasure in Battle: Mahito draws pleasure from fights, making him an extremely dark character in the series. It’s frustrating to face an adversary who fights purely for the thrill, rather than any noble motive

(ii) Cold Rationality: Unlike other villains who lose their rationale easily, Mahito remains cool-headed and highly rational. His portrayal as the embodiment of human fear and hatred leaves no room for emotion. This lack of empathy makes him even more unsettling.

(iii) Nihilistic Philosophy: Mahito adheres to nihilism, believing that life lacks inherent meaning. His chaotic worldview stems from evil desires, resentment, and the corruption of humanity

(iv) Manipulative Sadism: Manifested out of sheer hatred and human suffering, Mahito thrives on manipulating human emotions. He takes pleasure in making those around him suffer, adding to his sadistic natu

2. GABI

(I). Sasha’s Tragic Death: She killed Sasha, one of the most beloved characters in the franchise. Sasha’s death was a heartbreaking moment for audiences and other characters in the story.

(ii) Eldian Identity and Marleyan Influence: Gabi is an Eldian, but she despises her own heritage. Born and raised in Marley, she has been surrounded by people who convinced her that Eldians are devils. Despite being one of them, she wishes she were Marleyan.

(iii) Hypocrisy and Aggression: Gabi’s constant aggressive display of hatred towards Eldians, despite being one herself, is seen as hypocritical and annoying by some fans. Her sass, badassery, and frequent screaming have divided the fandom into two camps: those who empathize with her and those who find her irritating.

3. SAKURA

(I) Inconsistent Character Development: . Despite her raw strength and impressive medical ninjutsu, she frequently relied on stronger characters to save the day. This inconsistency frustrated fans who wanted to see her shine consistently.

(ii) Swinging Between Independence and Dependence: Some fans find Sakura’s character frustrating due to her oscillation between wanting independence and relying on others. This inconsistency can be annoying and contributes to the mixed feelings about her.

(iii) Treatment of Naruto: Early in the series, Sakura was often mean to Naruto. While Naruto’s behavior was initially obnoxious, Sakura’s treatment of him didn’t endear her to fans.

(iv) Obsession with Sasuke: Sakura’s infatuation with Sasuke Uchiha was a point of contention. Her unwavering loyalty to him, despite his actions, frustrated viewers who wanted her to focus on her own growth.

4. Shou Tucker

**Shou Tucker**, the infamous character from *Fullmetal Alchemist*, has earned a special place in the hearts of fans—for all the wrong reasons. Let's delve into why he's so widely despised:

i. Unforgivable Experiments:

- Tucker's most heinous act was fusing his own daughter, Nina with their pet dog, creating a horrifying chimera. The Elric Brothers witnessed Nina's suffering, and her loss became deeply personal for viewers .

- The fact that he did this twice (once with his wife and then with Nina) is chilling.

ii. Lack of Remorse:

- Unlike other villains, Tucker shows no remorse for his deeds. Even the homunculi, with their twisted natures, exhibit some human-like faults. Tucker, however, is a cold sociopath who killed his daughter out of fear of poverty .

5. MINETA

(i) Perverted Behavior: Mineta’s disturbingly immature and perverted tendencies are a major point of contention. His attraction toward girls, particularly Momo and Tsuyu, is often expressed in a creepy manner. Fans find this behavior off-putting and cringe-worthy.

(ii) Lack of Character Development:. Some viewers argue that he lacks significant growth or development throughout the series. His perversion tends to overshadow any positive moments he has

(iii) Groping Incident: During the U.S.J. Attack, Mineta’s inappropriate behavior reached a peak when he groped Tsuyu. This disrespectful move upset many fans and intensified their dislike for him.

(iv) Creepiness with Momo: Mineta’s tasteless behavior extends to Momo as well. His use of his sticky grape Quirk for a piggyback ride on her was both weird and uncomfortable. The fact that he didn’t seem to learn from these situations further fueled fans’ frustration.

6. YUNO

(I) Lack of Personal Screentime and Character Development:

In the manga, Yuno’s character development is somewhat delayed, with significant focus on him occurring around 300 chapters in.

While it’s been stated that he trains hard and achieves much, the audience rarely witnesses this firsthand, except for filler episodes in the anime.

His sudden power-ups can indeed make him appear overly perfect and less relatable.

(ii) Relationships and Detachment:

Up until a certain point in the manga, Yuno’s significant relationships are primarily with Asta and Bell. Yuno’s introverted nature contributes to the perception of him being boring. While he cares about others, his interactions primarily revolve around Asta.

Fans notice that Yuno’s soul seems to exist only within the context of Asta.

(iii) Overpowered Status:

Yuno’s strength is intentional, serving as a foil and rival to Asta.

However, this can frustrate Asta fans who closely follow his self-improvement journey.

As Asta grows stronger and understands his abilities better, the gap between them narrows.

(Iv) The Spade Arc and Missed Opportunities:

The Spade Arc disappointed you due to unexplored emotional depth.

Yuno’s identity crisis, his royal lineage, and his mother’s survival were intriguing plot points.

Unfortunately, these aspects remained largely unaddressed, leaving fans wanting more.

the way fullmetal alchemist brotherhood thinks about god is so interesting to me and its the only representation of religion ive ever seen in fiction that reflects my own very specific beliefs on it. like. god is the world, the universe, the truth, but god is also you. it takes your form when it speaks to you. and subsequently it is whatever you make of it. bradley mocks scars belief, asking how he can still have faith in a higher power that cares for him when the world has been so cruel to him and his people. but he is blinded by the light of the eclipse at the fatal moment in their fight, what some might call an act of god. bradley believes in no god, so one does not serve him. god is a thing of his own creation, a reflection of his actions, his beliefs, the things he puts out into the world. for scar, he believed himself to be serving god most when he was killing state alchemists, seeking vengeance, figuratively and literally only able to destroy because of the trauma surviving the extermination had left him with. he destroyed and so god was a destruction, a force that tore things apart, whether that was scar or his enemies. it is only after he grows and begins to heal as a person that he tattoos his brothers symbols of reconstruction onto his other arm and finally gains the ability to create, reflecting his new self forged motivation. it is only then, in that moment right after using constructive alchemy for the first time, that his god works in his favour, blinding his enemy at the exact right moment in order to let him win the battle against the physical embodiment of wrath. every time we see the truth, it takes the form of the person it speaks to. it reflects the person they are, the things they put out into the world. the manifestation of god is not just the things around you, it is you yourself. “i am all, i am one, and so i am also you.”

[forgottenronan]

ronan out here as team big brother to everyone (w eithne as team big sister <3) and im LIVING for it <3333 tbh he's not as good at it as he once was bc he's frankly a broken man whose fighting to put himself back together when all the pieces don't fit anymore buT he ~is trying (tho ngl sometimes his v effort makes things worSe but anyway here we are one step forward two back and all that jazz one day at a time etc etc)

ooooh kale having roots elsewhere is really interesting! i def feel like the frosts all would've wanted to interrogate him abt his travels and everything he'd seen hahaha but also yes! that def makes sense that he might feel a lil like an outsider looking in if he arrived sm later and the others had all grown up together, etc!! i def feel like, as far as ronan's concerned tho, he's part of the team now! i mean, padraig/reaves bro are his two best friends but ronan def sees the rebels as his family and obv kale is a key member so he's family in ronan's book! i do think lil ronan would've been v welcoming back in the day but yeah obv there's no replacement for those 14 years and poor kale that must've still been quite lonely for him!!!

i do think pre-war!ronan had a kinda...robb stark/peter pevensie thing going but also this laughing, mischievous bent that could come out w friends like...not to the extent of cillian or anything but he was much freer and happier and he was soooo idealistic he wanted to be a knight and do knightly things like there was defff a lil brienne of tarth/young!jaime lannister idealism abt all of that like...obv king arthur doesn't exist here but he effectively wanted to be a knight of the round table yknow seeing the world and spreading good and doing the right thing while having adventures and rescuing beautiful maidens and seeing magic up close and personal and protecting the vulnerable and generally spreading good everywhere he went, and, like, save the world and uphold the rule of law in a just and generous kindsom and all that kinda thing!! he wanted to be sir galahad or peter pevensie but instead he's robin hood but, like...dark...he'd def more dean winchester/edward elric (if you've seen fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood [w japanese subtitles -- the dub is toootally different and not nearly as good!]...and if you haven't...what're you doing! stop whatever you're doing and go watch it now! ;DD its soooo so good!!!!) than robb stark/peter pevensie now

i can see where ronan may be guilty of underestimating kale bc...i think that's a thing that ronan tends to do ngl (it comes out of his whole over-protective big bro thing esp now paired w his ptsd + 'ive lost sm i can't bear to lose more' deal) but esp bc kale has a lot of similarities to cillian, and ronan's spent his whole life worrying abt the scrapes cillian's forever getting himself into (lbr even as a kid) alksdjfkljdsf this being said, ronan can be a bit changeable post-war and like he def will go from I CANT RISK THEM I WONT DO THIS MISSION (insert some excuse) to like WE MUST DO THIS NO MATTER WHAT and pushing past reason for it soooo that's fun!! -- in general, i do think he's somewhere in the middle but yeah the boy's got demons and they show themselves at weird times in weird ways sometimes laskdjfkjdsf

GRUMPY/SUNSHINE!!!! you know that's my fav <3333 i love it!!! and frankly, annoyed as im CONFIDENT he sometimes acts (he can be an ass sometimes and i am o sorry about him lkajsdfkjsdf), he really needs that in his life!!! ronan: 'it is NOT an affectionate eye roll its a i-mean-business-eye-roll' (but actually it is an affectionate eye roll) but honestly i think he (wouldn't never admit it but he) relies on kale to give him a dose of optimism to help balance his own doom and gloom psyche!! i do think he sometimes gets lost in his own EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE outlook and pulls a full on (handsome ;D) squidward waaaaay too easily hahaha but you'll never (or at least rarely) catch him saying so alksdjfkjsdf

i love these!!! the hc's are now full canon as far as im concerned <33333

ooc | Kale & Ronan

I feel like Kale was an only child, but he always looked up to Ronan as an older brother!!??? Honestly, I feel like he looked up to his entire friend group tbh of Ronan/Paidrag/Reaves bro (rip). And I feel like Kale hung out with them sometimes, but he was a lil younger and while they were all good friends, I don't think Kale ever had that history/bond that the others had? I'm also thinking that maybe Kale's family didn't come to Malconaire until he was like 14/15 and so Ronan and his group of friends had already been well established by then??

I feel like their relationship with Ronan in his post-war era, is kinda a grumpy/sunshine thing lmao??? Like Kale has chosen to deal with his own post-war trauma by bottling up and completely ignoring his negative emotions!!!!! And continuing to be the optimistic / outgoing / fun-loving / joking guy he's always been!!! And now he's working with Ronan who has just become super serious all the time??? I just see Ronan constantly eyerolling at like everything Kale says and does (Kale: but it's an affectionate eye roll!) And Kale just completely unfazed by Ronan's temper!

I feel like things are a little ~less~ contrasted between them now then it was at the start, but yeah!!

Anyway, those are my headcanons about the relationship, lmk what you think!!!

[leecheedoodles]

Idk why it took me nine years to decide to watch FMA Brotherhood but I’m so glad I finally did

[chocolatina]

i feel like most of the posts ive seen analyzing what reggie said to megumi (let fate toy with you and die like a clown) do it in a very literal sense like someone’s gonna trick him and he’s going to die; not like this could be wrong, thats exactly what could happen but to me its more metaphorical.

like for example in fullmetal alchemist when the elric brothers almost died trying to bring back their mom with alchemy and later edward finds out what they brought back wasn’t trisha’s body at all, it was an ironic outcome since ed had to lose his limbs and ed his body for something that was never meant to work out anyway, all because they dared to break the natural laws of alchemy. 

so in megumi’s case it might be trying to save tsumiki or yuji while neither of them want to or can be saved. yuji’s death has been foreshadowed already but i lean more towards tsumiki not being able to be saved or does not want to be saved because like higuruma maybe she does want to be a sorcerer and fight in the culling game, which might lead to her death or betraying megumi in some way. so megumi has been doing all sorts of things (like killing which we’ve seen he’s obvs not enjoying) to the point of nearly dying for something that couldn’t have been prevented or changed from the beginning. maybe it will be sukuna or someone else tricking megumi into doing something with the belief he might save yuji, who knows, it might even involve both yuji and tsumiki since they're the two people megumi cares about the most, and an attempt to save them that turns out to be futile would be really tragic because it'd be fate tricking megumi into believing there was a chance when there never was one all along.

[spectra-bear]

Got any particular romance HCs for the twins, if they're interested or have been?

uhhh not really, not that i dont like it, it just never crosses my mind, i usually enjoy seeing other peeps' interpretations.

For example, ive seen art of emmet and piers, based on their interactions on pkmn masters iirc, pretty cute, also ingo and melli, but i often dont take it srsly, still cute tho, emmet and volo is purely out of entertainment if anything, uhhhhh i cant possibly see either of the twins romantically with elesa, she just makes up that perfect role for a 2 brothers + 1 gal friend squad dynamic (which is apparently an ongoing theme in my favs recently, e.g diluc, kaeya and jean from genshin impact / edward, alphonse and winry from fullmetal alchemist, lol), tho i still find the closer relationship with either adorable <3

[awoken-artist]

🌸🍡Please don't steal and resubmit/repost my works without my permission! thanks!🍡🌸 🌸🍡-----------------------🍡🌸 I forgot to submit this last month of 2021s final days but- eh i was busy with my own things going on. I drew this in my twitch stream because its been a very long while since Ive drawn anything Fullmetal Alchemist related. I think its cause certain FMA artists that are "popular" really was being super nit picky with my OC and its- very tiring. Now im just not giving much of a damn what they think. Just because your popular doesn't mean you get to nit pick my OC because god forbid she is paired with Edward Elric. but anywho~ onto the comic- yeah theres no words to put into it on what they said but- maybe when i finally color it [If i remember to XD] i'll add some more into the lil comic and such.  Tho anyways to explain about this real quick. 2 things: 1st being - I do have a FMA Storyline idea how Edward and Emmy have met. One of following the brotherhood storyline and 2003 Original storyline since both have different things going on it it. 2003 being more dark then anything, and humunculi being very different how theyre actually created and actually have unique weakness's and such and so on. plus different villians , etc. This one is being followed with the 2003 original FMA storyline with shamballa [conqueror of shamballa timeline after the anime series ended and now continue with the film].  2end explaining about the comic- since 2003 FMA is more darker , the storyline for these two also encounters dark shit going on and boy i have- very sad stuff to share on that one for sure.. ;; now- for the comic here- is when Ed and Em finally reunite once again. [Quick warning if you have NOT seen the conqueror of shamballa film this will contain spoilers further ahead. You've been warned.] - - - now how does this even happen?? how did emmy even manage to cross through the portal? Funny because she actually snuck onto the ship Edward was on. Now when the whole fight happened on the ship, emmy was there fighting alongside roy mustang, and alphonse. Alphonse was obviously upset that edward decided to go back to the portal, back to germany and close the portal so no other can come to his home again and try doing the same disastrous atrocities again. of course alphonse snuck onto the ship, but emmy also snuck on as well..which roy tried to convince both alphonse and emmy that they shouldnt even though they are both determined to stay by edward and not lose him again. of course roy had a feeling he would probably do this regardless since its edward. edward would literally do anything to make sure no one has to be hurt and if theres a way for him to do so he will do it in a heart beat..  so- after edward realizing alphonse snuck on and of course been busy with closing the portal finally and left. One of the guys who worked with Alphonse Hiderich heard something while helping with the other guys even hughes to get the dead soliders out of the suits, they heard breathing and found emmy in one of the suits when they moved it and the front part of the suit was loosened and she fell out. they checked her pulse and found shes alive and is just unconsious, and took her to the hospital right away.  Hughes does come back to check in on the girl, and felt she may be a friend to Edward and his brother, and tried to reach him but couldnt get much in contact, plus unsure if he should after what just even happened. He did made up with gracia and such after some time, and emmy finally awoke and Hughes took her in with Gracia so Gracia helps her out. I think emmy had a bit of a headache from the trip and saw familiar faces but realizes quickly they arnt the same as the ones back home.. so- yeah uh how many times shes seen edward and alphonse and wasnt sure - to BOTH of them, that "theres no way thats them". it took them- jesus many occasions to where they pass eachother and then just both of them would quickly look at eachother and are unsure what to say or what they can say to see if its REALLY them?  so that happens

many times, to where emmy was frustrated, edward was also kind of frustrated because he couldnt get her out of his head. [now before this encounter as seen in the comic, he was frustrated where Noah asked him whats wrong. He tells her that his friend Emmy may of snuck onto the ship as well like alphonse, but both he and alphonse didnt even know, but he isnt sure and says that its hard to even tell if its really them because everyone looks exactly the same but they arnt in this world. Noah understands its becoming frustrating for him to see someone he knows but isnt sure if its really them or just their parallel self.. Noah , even though her fore sight is better when they are asleep..asked if she can maybe see something. she sees they do meet again..but its different. she recommended if he sees her again - to ask her. The same , kind of thing, happens with Emmy but with gracia but emmy isnt sure if she should even say anything about her being from another world, until gracia sat down with her alone and told her what hughes told her. emmy felt kind of relieved and gracia was never one to judge. emmy did end up getting emotional... of how frustrating it is to see people she sees that looks exactly like the people she knew, but they arnt the same... gracia encourage her to meet up with edward if she sees him again and emmy hopes to at least see him to finally just settle things.] the comic here is where both of them had alot on their minds, edward trying to distract himself but couldnt because he just isnt sure where emmy could of gone, and emmy also isnt sure where edward is at the moment, until they pass eachother and a sense of realizing its them just hit them. they finally face eachother which they stared for a while with uncertainty until it only took both of them to reconize a few details that was stupidly overlooked. their automail. how its designed.. for edward it would be emmys scars and the locket. they both asked if they are who they think they are... and mentions some names like Amestris, Alchemy and the Philosipher stone... humuncili. Then out of a habit [between edward and emmy] is edward making a comment where idk he said something dumb where emmy just punches him in the gut because hes trying to make a joke and she was like "i wish you could of said something you fricken dork" and they both argued at eachother. then finally ends up where they couldnt look away from eachother and just- end up in a very emotional spiral where emmy was so relieved that hes okay, and that it really is him and she finally lets everything out. edward , while he hasnt cried or shed tears in- a while but still will show how upset he is... i think a few words where spoken while emmy was slowly starting to cry in the few final panels.  well- yeah uh- while edward was gone things went so bad for her.. its not his fault mind you just a shit ton of things happened. I'll explain by dialogue: -------------------------------------- Edward , still having his hands clench his stomach from the blow he received from Emmys left automail fist, he grumbles as tries to speak "damn it emmy why did you even follow us? you could of gotten hurt or worse!" "Because I WANTED to Ed! I wanted to follow because im not..Im not going to lose you again like I lost everyone else!" she clenched her sweater pretty hard after saying that as silence was all its left between them for a moment, the only sounds be the civilians and the cars passing by.  Edward stared at the sorrowful brunette as he was confused what she meant by it, but...in truth, deep inside he had a idea what it actually is but he shook his head to not even think of such worse outcomes. "Emmy what are you talking abou-" before he could continue emmy interrupted him as her voice was choked up. "hes gone...t-t-they are all gone.." "E-Emmy..what do...you mean by that?" he asked looking at her more concerned as Emmys blue eyes stared at his amber golden ones while tears threaten to stream down her face. "..w-while you...w-where gone...and m-missing.. s-so much has happened.. my g-grandparents..

e-even my own brother.. i.." she swallowed to try and not start bawling right away. trying hard not to cry quickly from explaining. Edward frowned..as he felt his heart sunk.. "..what happened.." he asked as his tone was softened as he got closer to her.  Emmys breath was shaking as she tries to calm down, but she couldnt stop herself from trembling "..i followed...because i couldnt lose you again...edward i thought you died for fuck sakes... my grandparents.. they passed away..both from being so bed ridden and sick.. their health declining... my brother was sent off to war.... and he was killed.... he tried his best to stay alive but he got killed..by a surprise attack.. they tried to save him..when he came home but he was long gone before they could even do anything..." her tears stream more down her face "o-once i saw you..i.. i was so relieved and happy you were alive....but so fucking mad at you too!" she clenched her sweater more "i know..you said you come back and y-you did... but seeing you leave i just couldnt just stand by and let you... so i followed... i know im leaving my home, my world i was born in...but my family thats left is gone.. i'll miss my friends of course but- i..." she started to sob as she tries wipe her hears away as edward couldnt help but teared up a bit as he kissed her forehead, seeing she was really hurting. Emmy quickly rest her head against his chest and hugged him tightly as she cried against his chest as Edward hugged her tight "...amestris may be my home...and world im from but your my world...and i dont want to let you go again.. just.. d-dont leave me alone again..." edward hugged her tightly as he burried his face against her shoulder ".. never again. im sorry your in so much pain... it'll be okay.." as he lets emmy cry as much as she can as Alphonse and Noah looked to find Edward and see him reunited with emmy, relieved they are okay.  Will say that it was also emotional for emmy to see alphonse again as they hugged it out as well, cause she and alphonses are really good friends as well so it was emotional for them to. Emmy meets Noah and the two become best friends later where they talk to eachother and everything about their troubles.  gah who cut onions in here quq I hope you guys enjoyed the dialogue at least- i hope to finally eventually make the literature work of how the two meet or finally make a comic. god either one of them- so look out for that because i havent forgotten about it just- chaos... 2021 aint helping with that. ouo; 🌸🍡-----------------------🍡🌸 Want to catch my Twitch streams when I do art?  Click here to my Twitch channel! 🌸🍡-----------------------🍡🌸 Artwork and FMA OC Emmy Rosenthal © by: @awoken-artist FMA and character Edward Elric © by: Hiromu Arakawa Programs Used: Clip Studio Paint EX

hiii do you have anime recs for someone who's never watched them before? like ive only read the death note's first volume and seen a couple of episodes of bnha

dskvbdf i have anime recs for sure, I’ll try to put trigger warnings just in case, since I don’t know what you might be comfortable with! I tried to include some favorites of mine but I also divided these recs into two categories. some of these are (imho) a pretty good place to start when it comes to watching anime, some are faves that I would recommend checking out, maybe once you’ve decided what you may like or not like :)

also if some mutual wants to add titles of their own please feel free to. and if you have some things you think you may like already please do tell me anon, I might be able to give you some more specific recs.

the easy recs: anime that i think are pretty good to start with

Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood: adventure/fantasy shonen following two brothers trying to get their original bodies back after they broke one of alchemy’s taboos. It’s PG13, but TW for some gore, death and war. None of it is extremely graphic. This isn’t how I got into anime but I wish it was. It’s definitely the first thing I recommend :)

Ghibli movies: of course this is a pretty easy recommendation. they are classics, extremely well known and loved by many. My favorites are Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and The Tale of Princess Kaguya. There are also more feel good movies like Kiki’s delivery service or Whisper of the Heart which could be a good place to start.

Mob Psycho 100: pretty atypical in its genre imo, it follows a boy with psychic powers. It has some slice of life qualities to it if you might prefer that and the anime is gorgeous. Bones did one hell of a job with it and the animation is incredible.

HxH: one of THE classics? it’s like super well known and loved (and yet....unfinished). so you may have to make your peace with it never ending...honestly hate myself for recommending this but it’s still one of the most iconic fantasy/adventures out there.

if you want to try out some of the current most popular titles I’d say that BNHA is very popular. Kimetsu no yaiba could be a place to start too (TW for death), it’s a pretty classic fantasy/adventure shonen. If you want to watch sports anime I think Haikyuu is the most popular right now and it’s very easy to binge. I think Bungo Stray Dogs and Noragami could also be fun to start with, they have good animation, some pretty cool characters and they aren’t difficult to follow at all.

The less easy recs I guess: anime that i love but that may take you a little more time to get through or that are less typical in a way.

Cowboy Bebop: follows a crew of bounty hunters! set in an alternate futuristic space with western elements. Super cool ost, great character development. Honestly one of my favorites. TW death.

Samurai Champloo: this one is a more “typical” adventure plot wise, but set in an alternate Edo era with anachronistic hip hop elements. It’s more episodic that Cowboy bebop and probably less cohesive, but I highly recommend it. TW for death, there’s mentions of rape. From what I remember some episodes mention homophobic comments as well.

Mononoke: this is a series of shorter tales focused on Japanese folklore. It’s subtle psychological horror, very atmospheric and unique in its direction and art style. It’s a quite unique experience when it comes to anime imo :)

Ping Pong: this is a sports anime based on the manga written by Taiyo Matsumoto. The title is pretty self explanatory xD it’s a pretty unique anime for its art style so it may not be your thing but I’d give it a try. 

Millennium Actress: my favorite movie directed by Satoshi Kon, very meta exploration of Japanese cinema through the life of an actress. I generally recommend checking out everything Kon has directed but be aware of the fact that Paprika and Perfect Blue are generally rated as R.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: this is probably not where i’d start watching anime but it’s one of my favorites so let me rec it lol. it’s a very character driven anime focused on rakugo (a form of storytelling). It’s not action packed, but rather relies on the portrayal of the characters’ relationship with rakugo and themselves. TW for death.

Mushishi: this is a more episodic tale. Sort of a more quiet and introspective anime. TW for gore and death.

Death Parade: set in a mysterious bar where people play odd games with their life at stake (or so it would seem at first glance i guess lol). Sort of a psychological thriller, in which every episode has its own arc that fits the bigger picture well. TW for death, suicide. 

Neon Genesis Evangelion: listen this....may emotionally and mentally destroy you so don’t start with this please XD. NGE is definitely heavier than anything else on this list, as it deals with a lot of complex and emotionally draining topics. TW for suicidal thoughts, death, loss of a limb, gore, profanity, nudity, depression...among others. Please be aware of this if you ever decide to watch NGE.

Would you ever write uhhhhh Wrath!Riza AU?

your brain, anon. i like it

-

aqua regia (for destruction, ice) // AO3

Not all that burns is fire. 

(Or: Riza becomes Wrath.)

-

i. 

In another world Riza Hawkeye might have asked the Flame Alchemist to burn away the circle on her back, might have looked at those scars in the mirror and pretended they could lift any of the weight from her shoulders.

In this world that is the least dangerous of everything Wrath carries: a stone at her core red as her eye behind the rifle scope, as hands complicit in plans to burn up this country tearing the heavens from their sky.

She cannot walk away from death as easily as Lust or Envy can, but when the elixir had slid into her veins Riza had burned from the inside and Wrath had walked away with that fire still in her veins, always searing beneath skin that she doubts mortal flame can scar.

(“Now hold still, dear girl,” the scientist had said, gold tooth gleaming dull in lab-light, “it’ll hurt worse if you struggle,” and Riza had remembered Berthold Hawkeye saying the same thing to Wrath at ten and fifteen and eighteen, red on her skin red underneath red burning its way into her heart, and it had been a lie then too.)

.

ii.

Wrath is angry at everyone and everything at once; furious at the ones who had found a cadet with steady hands and steadier soul and saw fit to unmake that, at herself, at those who knew how blood-drenched this country was and kept painting it anyway. The first time she had seen Roy Mustang again she would have snapped his neck clean in half if not for the knowledge of how valuable State Alchemists were in the chessboard of this country.

(That, and her own distaste for the heat of blood over her own hands. Riza has heard enough from Father and the other homunculi to surmise that the previous incarnations of Wrath had loved blood like the edge of a blade freshly sharpened on diamond.

But she is a sniper – the best markswoman Amestris has ever seen, even before they gave her an eye that could see through anything. Why else would they have chosen her?)

She is the Hawk’s Eye, the Fury of Ishval, hell and its woman scorned all in one, and she makes it known in constellations of bullets and impossible shots, precise and deadly as any alchemist’s array.

Riza had been angry too, when she had let herself be, but hers is a cold ire, locked beneath glaciers and the burn of frostbite.

Wrath makes no such pretences. Wrath answers to a dead woman’s name, and Officer – Lieutenant – Major Hawkeye holds her anger boiling right under the surface, scalds her hands in it and fires the next shot.

.

iii.

Roy Mustang holds her at a careful arm’s length.

It might’ve been offensive if it weren’t so ironic. He of all humans should know what it means to hold flame in your hands: let one weakness slip and fire would burn it right through like so much dry grass.

Then again, maybe it’s that same familiarity that breeds wariness. Riza would hardly know. Fury is not the absence of fear, but in her case it’s fairly close anyway.

Either way, it’s the same distance that prevents Mustang from recognising Wrath’s work in doctoring the Elric brothers’ documents a whole two decades older. 

He decides to take Havoc with him, citing something about the persuasion of fellow Easterners; Riza remains in East Command and doesn’t wonder how he will react to finding out that the alchemists he is looking to enlist as human weapons are just barely a third his age.

Not even half of hers, unless you counted the several years since she had become Wrath. 

Company for you, Riza thinks none too quietly, and Wrath bristles, shoving her away to wrest back control.

(Riza lets her. This is exactly the duty she’d been assigned – locating potential sacrifices among the State Alchemists and beyond, so there’s not even any insubordination for Wrath to report, even if she won’t realise until much later how spot on she’d been to find one who’d already been through the Gate.

For now she listens to the Flame Alchemist’s empty-handed return from Resembool, hears him say with seemingly unwarranted certainty I saw the fire in his eyes, and this time she does wonder how he can notice that yet miss the same thing in hers.

Riza knows what she sees in the mirror, after all, even if she always has one eye hidden behind a false lens and swept fringe.)

.

iv.

Wrath, unsurprisingly, finds the Fullmetal Alchemist an absolute riot. 

Eight pints of unrefined rage wrapped in red with the volume cranked up to fifty percent past maximum, and if you had asked anyone at all to name one person in this room who might be the personification of fury itself – well.

Edward Elric gets angry in a way that neither of them know how to be. Riza runs cold where Wrath veers hot, but it’s always controlled, the reins another line in the delicate balance between them; in contrast Edward is an explosion, angry and incandescent with it, and sometimes Riza almost wishes they were like that too.

(No you don’t, Wrath mutters over the scratch of a pen.

Riza blinks and sighs, blacking out a line of expletives about Hakuro and the latest shitshow he’d thrown at them; homunculi weren’t much for paperwork. It’d make some things easier, you have to admit. He gets things done.

Like getting himself nearly killed three separate times in a week, ooh, aren’t you supposed to be babysitting the sacrifices, Wrath? I’d like to see them doing it–

Riza doesn’t sigh again, but it’s close.)

Neither of them feel particularly bad about keeping silent over the Elrics’ search when she’s sitting right here, but on Riza’s part it’s mostly because she’s seen enough to be certain that Edward at least would never use a Philosopher’s Stone if he learned what had gone into its making.

Wrath is just looking forward to the day he does find out. Now that’ll be something to watch.

.

v.

She meets Greed walking down a hallway one afternoon, nodding cordially at the flurry of salutes as he passes each of his people.

Wrath doesn’t miss a beat with her own salute. “Your Excellency.”

“At ease, Major,” the Fuhrer replies with a wave of his hand, but he slows down anyway. “I hear young Elric has made some – acquaintances, shall we say, from Xing with exceptional sensing capabilities. He does collect the most interesting people. I’m impressed.”

“Fullmetal doesn’t take kindly to being called young, sir,” Riza says. “I did hear the same, but I haven’t had the chance of meeting them yet.”

(Not for the first time, she wonders why they had thought it a good idea to put Amestris and all that it represents in Greed’s hands. If humans are possessions to be had, what stopped him from deciding that he’d rather keep it all for himself in the end?)

The Fuhrer smiles, benign as any lethal poison. “Let me know if you’d like some time back in the East, I’m sure your grandfather would enjoy a visit too.”

“I have my duties here, and I’m afraid I’m not much of a chess player. It would only bore General Grumman.”

Wrath’s hands do not tense at her sides, but only because they’re both too disciplined for that. Her aim is every bit as true as his swords, and she might not be able to die and walk away unscathed but neither can Greed; how dare he, Riza thinks.

How dare he, Wrath seethes in agreement, and perhaps it’s time to let some things slip to the Elrics after all.

(She is angry at them, for taking this entire plan one-and-a-half steps closer to fruition, but Riza is angry at everyone; this is just par for the course.

The difference is that she is even angrier for them. Riza barely remembers her mother, and if Berthold had still been alive Wrath would have killed him anyway, so she cannot honestly say that she understands the Elrics in that regard.

But Edward rages at the universe demanding equivalency from it while Alphonse aims cuttingly sharp remarks and wonders about his humanity in the next breath. They would be furious if they knew, anger burning hot and frigid cold, and she is Wrath and Riza Hawkeye and both and neither – this, she understands.)

.

.

+1.

“There was something I’d wanted to ask of you, after Ishval, if – things had been different,” Mustang finishes blindly in more ways than the literal, and it’s irritating what a production he can make out of not saying if I hadn’t mistrusted you.

Riza’s fringe is properly out of her eyes for the first time in years, not that he can see it, and she’d walked away from the Promised Day essentially unscathed but the Philosopher’s Stone is gone now along with Wrath; if she did ask the Flame Alchemist to burn away the circle after regaining his eyesight it would even scar over properly.

She won’t. She knows she won’t. 

Wrath had known it too. Riza still hasn’t quite parsed the jumbled impressions of those last moments, but above all of it there had been mirth. Amusement, because they had both looked at Riza’s soul unfolding around them and recognised the anger there that was hers. Had always been, only shut away and sunk deep in ice. 

If she has any fire in her veins now it is only proverbial, but she is still the Hawk’s Eye, the Fury of Ishval, and there’s more than enough left to burn the next person who tries to lay hands on her.

She looks at Roy Mustang now and continues to not snap his neck because he might be the best hope for this sorry excuse of a country, and anyway if she strangled an injured man in his hospital bed Wrath would laugh at her from another plane and say told you so, he had it coming.

“I’d rather you continue not asking it, Colonel,” Riza says, controlled as ever, but the anger is her own and she relishes the cold-hot burn of it. “I was Wrath, sir, consider yourself lucky that I didn’t let my finger slip on the trigger anytime during Ishval.”

Mustang winces, like he’d managed to avoid consciously putting it together until this point. “I suppose that, ah, rather answers it anyway. So that’s a no to supporting my bid for presidency?”

“That depends on your plans. Which you can tell me about after I’ve returned from my month’s worth of personal leave,” she adds pointedly, and turns to go instead of adding that Greed’s not exactly a high bar to beat anyway. “Have a speedy recovery, sir. Good day.”

Mustang’s expression as the door closes suggests that he’s actually okay with having a second-in-command that has been angry at him for years, and she’s… not sure what to do with that, really, but maybe she can work with it. Maybe.

(Fury is not the absence of fear, nor a dearth of kindness; the Elrics are proof enough of that. Riza knows what she saw in the mirror this morning, familiar and foreign all at once, and she’ll just have to figure out the rest from there.

Perhaps she’ll drop by Resembool and stay for a bit. She’s not angry at anyone there, not anymore – it might be a nice change of pace for once.)

EDIT: NOW WITH ART FROM ART

(more fics here)

oh boy. this was literally stream of consciousness on my part with even less planning than usual, impossible as that sounds – all i knew i wanted was for wrath!riza to be much more like greed!ling than wrath!bradley, because otherwise what would be the point. 

but then even as i was writing i realised how many people riza would have reason to be angry at, justified or otherwise: roy for the whole flame alchemy thing, the elrics for getting into this mess, even grumman for leaving her with berthold if he’d even suspected what was going on (and for the record, wrath would 100% killed berthold on riza’s behalf if he hadn’t already been dead)

and then i dithered on how to finish this (and indeed whether to finish it at all, i was tempted to throw hands after the second to third sections) but then my three brain cells summarily went GIVE RIZA HAWKEYE AGENCY GIVE IT BACK TO HER and fuck yeah i agreed. so here we are. in this verse roy never asks her the whole “guard my back but also shoot me if i go wrong” thing, because it’d just be… utterly ridiculous, in context, and also it’s possible that riza ends up leaving the military entirely or goes to support olivier for fuhrer instead. wrath would certainly appreciate the hell outta that

anyway this is a mess and probably the most ooc riza i have ever written but i hope y’all enjoyed it anyway

title notes: aqua regia aka regal water, a nitric/hydrochloric acide mixture so named by alchemists for dissolving noble metals like gold + a bit cribbed straight off robert frost

[shoezuki]

speaking of mp100 (I should rewatch that..... its been a hot minute.... oh shoot and I need to finish s4 of haikyuu. wait, hold on, that's off topic) what anime have you watched and, besides mp100, what would you recommend? -tiny

[hatake-kakashi]

What are some of your fave animes

OK LET ME PREFACE THIS BY SAYING I HAVEN’T BEEN INTO ANIME SINCE 2014 AND I AM JUST RECENTLY GETTING BACK INTO IT!! BUT

- DEATH NOTE (netflix, crunchyroll, funimation, kisscartoon)

it follows a guy named Light Yagami who discovers that a shinigamai(god of death) dropped a notebook into the human realm and that whoever’s name is written in it will die(and you can specify how, if you’d like). it shows how he becomes sort of a vigilante to put criminals in place. he is then under suspect as the killer by L, a smart and elite person who works with the police and has never lost a case. 

seasons: 1 total episodes: 37

RATING: 10/10!!!

warning: violence/murder, major character death but like thats expected, religious themes(i guess), light swearing

fave characters: matsuda and L are high up there...as well as Mello, Mikami, and Gevanni ships: i mean the most common ship is Lawlight(LxLight) but i think my main are lawtsuda(L x matsuda), mikalight (mikami x light), mikanni (mikami x gevanni), and mellodramattic(mello x matt)/nearlymellodramattic(near x mello x matt)!!! remisa is also cute:( notes: i just spent all my money on the manga! i’m so excited to read it!!! 

- SIRIUS THE JAEGER (netflix,  probably kisscartoon but i havent looked)

the main character, Yuliy Jirov, is the last of his tribe (he is a sirus. so like...sorta like a werewolf) and he is set to revenge his family’s death as a jaeger(hunter. but like. a vampire hunter) but it turns out his brother, Mikhail, is alive and was turned. the main goal of the plot is to find and also somehow protect this thing called Ark Of Sirius , which is sort of like sacred power that was given to Yuliy’s tribe, from falling into vampire hands. 

seasons: 1 total episodes: 12

RATING: 10/10!!!

warning: violence, action, major(?) character death

fave characters: Yuliy...i love him so much; Mikhail, Hideomi, Willard ships: so uh i wouldn’t recommend going thru the ao3 tag because its a common thing to ship the brothers(*disgusted emoji*) but i am working on writing something to fill the tag with hideomi/mochizuki, hideomi/willard, and yuliy/phillip

notes: i think the way the creators did the vampires is really interesting. honestly i watched it bc of the pretty vampire man in the cover. i learned that i hate him but he’s still pretty. THIS SHOW IS REALLY SHORT PLEASE WATCH IT I AM BEGGING TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH

- CASTLEVANIA (netflix, ???)

Dracula sends creatures of the night(? literally don’t know another way to describe them. uh. monsters?) to attack the cities of Wallachia because they killed his, albeit human, wife (her name is Lisa)because they thought she practiced witchcraft. It follows Trevor Belmont, the last son of the Belmont family (a family that basically killed these creatures + vampires); Sypha Belnades, a badass speaker magician; and Adrian ‘Alucard’ Tepes, the son of dracula. their goal is to end the war against the human race. It also shows Dracula’s side of things and follows the two humans that are on his court, Hector and Isaac (they both denounced humanity because of their bad upbringings/experiences)

seasons: 3 total episodes: 22

RATING: 10/10!!!

warning: violence/gore, action, death/killing, sex, angst, religous themes, swearing

fave characters: really love the main three of course but like i also love Hector ships: trevor/sypha/alucard, hectorcard, alucard x happiness, hector x happiness

notes: it’s based off the video game. season three fucked me up(it’s AMAZING THOUGH!) i cannot wait for season 4 omg:(((( 

- NARUTO (netflix, cruncyroll, funimation, probs kisscartoon)

naruto uzumaki wants to gain recognition from his peers and also become the leader of his village(hokage)

seasons: 5 (i didn’t watch shippuden. i’m talking the OG naruto) total episodes: 220

RATING: 10/10 but like tbd bc ive only seen the first 3 seasons so far

warning: violence, action

fave characters: kakashi, iruka, gaara, rock lee ships: uhh kakairu(kakashi x iruka) i don’t really ship a lot of things. kobuto x orochimaru is kinda good too but like LKASDFASD

- B: THE BEGINNING (netflix, ???)

Genius investigator Keith Flick rejoins the royal police force, RIS, just as serial killer "B" emerges and commits a double murder. Mysterious youth Koku may be an ally of the group's -- or a target. When the RIS investigates a death that appears to be linked to B, Keith disagrees with the crime being connected to the criminal mastermind. An attack on a member of the RIS leads members of the group to suspect a traitor within their ranks. After being declared a murder suspect, Keith turns himself in. Koku is forced to fight for his survival

i copy and pasted that bc i cannot remember it that well but i do remember liking the show!! i will rewatch and update accordingly w my own summary

RATING: 8/10??? i can’t remember it that well which is why the rating is lower than the others

hmm what animes have you watched? i've watched a fair amount, but only like a couple stick out in my head where i go "oh you should watch this!" ya know? personal favorites are like haikyuu, bleach, toilet bound, fullmetal alchemist, hxh and seraph of the end- but theres a lot that i really enjoyed! like demon slayer, banana fish (;-;), ranma 1/2 and ouran host club- what about you? - suuni <3

Ooooh. Id like to say ive seen a fair amount as well, but i grew up in a household that didnt really get the appeal of it so I got a pretty late start lolol so i was like 11 watching FullMetal and Naruto and Sailor Moon and One Piece and Fairy Tail at like the same time (cause I have a hard time concentrating on one thing oops) but like, Blue Exorcist I really enjoyed, Ouran Hisghschool and Maid Sama are some comfort shows of mine. Soul Eater I thought was well done, Haikyuu has become a favorite, K-On was cute, i watched all but the new season of 7 deadly sins cause my brother liked it. I loved HunterXHunter!! Im currently watching Bleach and im sure theres more, but that's whats coming to mind lolol

[scentedbygunpowder]

Moms Made Fullmetal Week, 2019 Day 1: Fear/Hope/Is this real? Word Count: 2395 Author: Katie/Ally (scentedbygunpowder) Rating: PG Characters: Riza Hawkeye, Edward Elric; Mentions of/Minor Characters Alphonse Elric, Roy Mustang, and Alex Armstrong Summary: Lots of things inspire fear, hope, and astoundment. But nothing has ever done it more to Riza Hawkeye then the two boys she’s adopted in her heart and watching them on The Promised Day.

~*~

Fear/Hope/Is This Real?

This day had been a day full of more than she had ever imagined. Yes, Riza had known that taking down the corrupt generals and stopping The Promised Day was going to be difficult. She thought she had been prepared. Focused, ready, stoic. It had gone off perfectly at first. Going just the way they wanted, even better than they had expected.

Then they had discovered the white monsters and that had certainly changed things. But even those were quickly dealt with thanks to the Colonel, and she had taken that moment of fear—for all soldiers felt fear. It was a motivator if nothing else—and sat it to the side once the situation had been dealt with. It was time to move onto the next task.

Too bad Envy had come along and practically destroyed the Colonel. Oh, yes, the Colonel had destroyed the homunculus too, but the shapeshifter had almost taken Roy Mustang—the person of Roy Mustang, who Roy Mustang was--with him, and Riza’s fear had been very real at that time. She had thought that nothing else could match her fear at that moment—fear that had caused even her steady hands to shake.

How wrong she had been.

Her neck had been sliced open and she had nearly had to watch the man she loved either commit the ultimate sin or watch her die, except for Mei’s welcome interference. Then she had watched him being taken away from her, watched him disappear, found him again, albeit blind, and joined a fight even barely able to stand herself as they faced down a god-like individual (as those were the only words she could think of to describe him).

And still it wasn’t the greatest fear she had faced that day.

No, that had been when she had watched Edward disappear before her eyes.

Later she would question why no one stopped him. Why no one had decided to step in and say no at that moment, as they watched him scratch out a circle to get his brother back. She questioned why she didn’t. She was no alchemist, but she had been around them all her life. She knew what that was. She knew what he was drawing.

And yet she did nothing.

Perhaps it was because his own father was there. Perhaps it was because she had come to trust the young boy. Perhaps because it was because she was afraid of what he would say or do if she did. Perhaps it was because she felt it wasn’t her place, even though she had felt these maternal feelings for both boys for years. She had known them since they were twelve and eleven, respectively. She had watched them grow, listened to them, advised them, even held them at times. She knew she could never replace their mother, and she would never presume to do so, but she had come to care for them as if they were her own children. She never said it out loud, but it was true nonetheless.

She had watched one of her sons give his life in the this fight today—give his soul. She was afraid she was about to lose the other too.

As she watched Edward proclaim that this was going to be his last transmutation and clap his hands together fear clawed at her throat more then had happened at any other time during the day. This fear was bigger than watching Mustang loose his sanity, than nearly dying, than all the combat she had ever seen. It crawled into her throat and for a moment she swayed, and she knew it wasn’t from the blood loss, but the fear.

Edward had disappeared.

She wanted to call out his name, to move forward towards where he was, to demand he come back, but her fear was so great that she couldn’t. It froze her in place. He was gone. He wouldn’t come back. She had lost both of her boys in one day. She had nearly died, the man she loved was blind, and she had lost both her boys. The fear of that being true drove her to her hands and knees, and she heard Major Armstrong behind her start, moving towards her. She could hear Roy’s voice asking if she was alright. Both sounded muted, and she wasn’t sure if it was because of her perception or because of the situation, but it didn’t matter. Fear was overriding everything else as she waited for Edward to return and prayed (although after today, she honestly had no idea who to) for his safe return.

She was just giving up the last of her hope when light flared, and her head snapped up, ignoring the swimming that motion put her head into. She ignored the strong hand of the Major at her back and the hand of her Colonel on her shoulder. Something was happening at the center of the circle Edward had made, and something no one else had done. It hadn’t been touched or activated by anyone and hope flared in her surged up and she clung to it. The light was bright, as all alchemy lights tended to be, but she didn’t look away, hope filling her as she saw something forming from seemingly nothing in the middle of the circle—Edward, bruised, beaten, but smiling, holding a thin figure with long matching hair that wasn’t conscious. She knew who it was, just because of the way Edward was smiling. It was Alphonese. It had to be.

It had to be, and she wasn’t going to accept anything else for an answer. Could he have really done it? Had Edward actually found a way to restore his brother without taking a single life? Was this real? Her hope flared up, nearly overtaking her, and she forced herself to go upright.

“Lieutenant! What’s going on!”

Mustang’s voice broke through to her, finally, and she laughed.

“He did it!” she said. “Ed did it! He brought Alphonse back—His body and his soul! It’s all restored!”

Mustang’s hand was still on her shoulder, and she reached for it, pulling him closer, and then pulling him along with her as she forced her way through the crowd to the two boys, smiling widely, something almost no one had ever seen from the stoic Lieutenant. But considering what had just happened, no one seemed to think it was odd. She walked right up to the boys, pulling Mustang along behind her. Edward looking up at their approach. He was as he was when he left, injuries and all, but Alphonse did not look like a suit of armor, obviously. In fact, he had nothing on, no clothes to cover him.

“Colonel, give me your coat,” she demanded of him.

He did it without question, and on shaking legs she took it and moved closer to the boys, spreading it out over Alphonse, covering him and hopefully keeping his painfully thin body warm.

“Lieutenant,” Edward said. “I…”

Riza shook her head, reaching out to the both of them, smoothing their hair back, first Ed, then Al. “I’m so proud of you,” she said, and her hand was shaking as she spoke. “I’m so proud of you. You did it, Edward. You got his body back. You accomplished your mission. I’m so proud of you.”

Edward was blushing slightly, looking at a loss for words, and his face blurred before her eyes. Was she crying? Well, she wouldn’t be surprised if she was. Her hope for these two boys to finally, finally, be able to carry on a normal life was restored, and it was a day to be emotional. How could this be real? How could all of this be real? It was astounding and she was filled with joy.

“Lieutenant?”

Something in his voice sounded off, and she looked to see if maybe it was Alphonse, if maybe he had awoken and his voice sounded different out of the armor. But he was still lying still and unconscious.

And then—she wasn’t sure—but there seemed to be alarm on his face, and she felt a little guilty because she hadn’t meant to upset him, but her brain was stuck in a loop of “Is this real?” and “I’m so proud.” But something was different, and she remembered thinking “Is this real? Do I have my two boys back, safe and whole?” before, for some reason, it was hard to hold onto thoughts and they all slipped away. She thought she heard alarmed voices, but she wasn’t sure. All she knew was that everything was starting to seem like a dream, and she was sure she asked at least one person “Is this real?”

She remembered waking long enough to talk to Rebecca, although she didn’t remember what the conversation was, and to ask someone about Alphonse and Edward before she faded out again. There were small bits of conversation like that, ones that she couldn’t be sure later were real or not, before she finally woke with her brain settled. Most of them seemed to be centered on checking in on her two boys, but she was never completely sure if she heard that correct answers or not.

However, now she woke completely, her mind caught up with her body. She blinked for a moment, taking in her surroundings. She was in a bed, bandages tight around her neck, and IV with blood in it going into her arm. The room was dark, with only the moonlight coming through the window and the soft light creeping in around the doorframe where she could also hear soft footsteps and conversations. She went to look around, but stopped with a soft gasp as the motion of turning pulled at her neck. Almost immediately there was movement from across the room, and a figure got up, walking over towards her. It took her a moment to recognize him in the dark, but she gave Edward a dim, tired smile in the dark.

“Is this real?” she asked him, her own voice soft, tired. “Did—did it really happen? Did you bring Al’s body back?”

“Don’t talk too much, Lieutenant. The doctors are concerned about your wounds breaking open again.” He said. “You scared us when you passed out earlier. When I learned what happened, I don’t know how you were even staying on your feet.”

“Stubbornness,” she said with a wry smile, and Edward laughed in response.

Still, he looked down at her and answered her question. “Yeah, it’s real, Lieutenant. Al woke up not long after you and the Colonel were spirited away to the medical tents. He’s himself alright. Body and soul.” Edward was grinning at her. “You have no idea how happy I am to have him back.”

She reached for his hand, and he obliged her, willingly. She squeezed it. “I was so scared that I’d lost both of you, Edward, when you disappeared into that transmutation circle. The thought of losing one of you was hard enough, but both…”

His eyes looked a little troubled, and he started to hush her again. “Lieutenant, you really shouldn’t be—“

“Let me finish, please,” she said. “It’s important.” He was quiet, and she continued. “Through everything else that we had been through today,” was it even still the same day? Well, he’d know what she meant. “I was more afraid when you disappeared then through all of the rest of it.” She squeezed his hand, and he squeezed back. “And then, when you reappeared with another body, I hoped so badly for you that it had worked.” She gave him another tired smile. “All I wondered was if it was real, while knowing I was so proud of you. And I am. I always will be.”

There was something in the back of Ed’s eyes, an emotion that Riza was too tired to try to name, to worn to find the words for, although it was soft, and she knew that there was love in it. He smiled softly at her, and reached out, smoothing her hair down much as she had done to him earlier, their positions reversed. His hand squeezed hers. “Lieu—Hawkeye. That… that means a lot to me. I know it will to Al too, when he wakes up. Believe it or not, we have wanted to do you proud over these years. You and the Colonel both. Thank you for saying it.”

She smiled at him, and opened her mouth to say more, although she felt a twinge in her neck and winced. Edward noticed, of course, and shook his head, pulling up a chair to her bedside. “Al’s right over there,” he said nodding in the direction he had come from, “And the Colonel is in here too,” he gestured back behind him, where a curtain was drawn. The rooms are pretty full right now, so this is going to have to work. But listen, you don’t say anything else, okay? Just rest.” He still had her hand. “I’ll watch over you while you sleep. I can’t sleep anyway—my brain’s on overload. I promise I’ll go to bed the moment I feel tired, alright? Or if there’s any pain or anything. I’m find, alright? I just need to know that you’re okay too. So you just rest now.”

He was lying to her, to some extent. She could see how tired he was and how much his body, at least, needed rest. But she also knew alchemists. If their brains were running and wouldn’t stop, then they weren’t going to sleep, no matter their physical condition. Besides, she understood the need to make sure that someone you cared about was okay. She was doing that now, with Edward, and as soon as she could, she would be making sure that Alphonse was alright too.

And so, with one last smile at him, she closed her eyes, drifting back into sleep. It was unspoken between them, and likely always would be, but they both knew it: He and Al were her sons, and she was a mother to them. It didn’t have to be said. Riza could feel it as she drifted off to sleep, holding onto Edward’s warm right hand and slipped into a restful slumber, knowing that both her sons were safe at long last.
