thanksthanks~! Really long under the cut lol

1. How were you first introduced to Fullmetal Alchemist?

Pictures of blonde red-cloak boy and giant armor warrior + the nina/alexander chimera jokes while surfing through the internet :V (I was in my ultra-Sonic-fanatic phase back then and was searching for fanart)

So when that scene came up the animes/manga, I was already de-sensitized to it through jokes long ago sadfzgfdhgjf

I finally got the basis to what it was about when my favorite Sonic fanartists started to make posts and analysis of it. I firmly remember the discourse of whether the ending of Conqueror of Shamballa was terrible or not, and me not understanding anything lol

Still wasn’t an entire FMA fan at that time

2. Tell us all about your child your favorite character and why you love them to pieces!

BOY OH BOY, where have you been? *Points to Icon* That guy, over there (Does Greedling as an entity count)

Okay for real, so my first actual fave was actually Greed himself. I was looking at the FMA wiki and reading up on all the characters, and he caught my attention. So I was thinking, “Wow, this guy is part of the bad guys? But he’s not? And he’s actually nice!? What an interesting character! But he looked kinda like a villain beating up Ed...”

Then he jump-started my motivation to continue watching the 03 anime and I cried over him and how he didn’t deserve to die ;v;.

Several days later, I remember there being some ~Asian Aesthetics~ In the brotherhood version after looking at a tumblr post (You know, that one where it compares Xing to IRL China).

Went to the wiki again, and read up on all the Xing characters.

>sees Ling’s description (Greed? What??? Greed is my fav, why does he look different??)

>Stop and stares at personality

“That guy is also gonna be my fav I just know it.” And truth to behold, he is! There’s something about Comic Relief characters that are also secretly badasses that just gets to me ngh

AnD THEN WHEN GREEDLING HAPPENED OH MAN I WASN’T PREPARED FOR IT

THEY LITERALLY..JUST... COMBINED BOTH OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS INTO ONE JEKYLL AND HYDE THING OH MY GOD??

AND I LOVED IT SO MUCH UNTIL THEY GOT SEPERATED.....//cries

3. What are some funny FMA moments that get you every time?

>”OHOHOH WE’RE GOING TO CENTRAL?! HOW EXICITING!”

>Crocodile face Ed and sharp claws Roy

>Every single moment Ling gets kicked out of the room

>Whenever Ed makes an exaggerated face

>Major Armstrong

4. What is your favorite fight scene from the series?

fight sceneS* You mean B)?

>Roy Vs. Lust (If you could even consider that a fight scene)

>Greed Vs. Wrath (Again, don’t really know if it could count as an actual fight scene, poor guy didn’t even get a chance to attack)

>Ling Vs. Wrath (It just shows the full extent of his badassery!)

>Ed Vs. Greedling (Pretty interesting to see Ling fight badly compared to before because of Greed being shitty on the offense lmao)

>Briggs Army Vs. Sloth (THEY JUST... USED AN ENTIRE TANK...)

>Lanfan + Ling Vs. Gluttony (nyoom, asian warrior skills)

>Greedling + Fu Vs. Wrath (Damn, the emotions)

I feel like I pretty much listed 99% of the scenes that exists haha

5. If you could make an FMA OVA, what would it be about?

*SLAMS TABLE* FMA FROM THE POV OF LING,

THE TALES OF WHAT-THE-HELL-HAPPENED WITH GREED+CHIMERAS AND ED DURING THE TIMESKIP,

OR THOSE XING JOURNEY WITH AL AFTER THE SERIES EVENTS

6. Do you have any of your own FMA headcanons? Tell us about them!

>Ling can feel 100% everything that Greed feels and vice-versa in the backseat ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (So having his arm sliced off... he felt that)

When Greed gets tired, He gets tired

When Greed gets hungry, He gets hungry Etc. They feel everything with the same intensity.

>Greed picked up minor Xingese during his body-share, but it’s really shitty broken sentences. He tries speaking it to girls in order to impress them. Ling cringes every time and disapproves of it. So when ling comes back to visit amestris for Emperor duties, he’s known as that guy with the broken language by some of the public :)

“WOAH KUH YEE SHOU XING-WIN HWAH. NI HI YOW TING WOAH SHOU DONGSHI MA?”

“Greed no”

“NI SHIAN CHU CHII MA?”

“Greed sTOP”

(Bonus points if you managed to decipher the gibberish)

7. Who is your favorite homunculus and why?

Greed, Greed, and Greedle!! THIS POOR GUY JUST BEEN THROUGH A LOT OKAY.

Oh? He’s different from the rest of us? LETS SPITE HIM

Oh look, we found him! LETS KILL ALL OF HIS FRIENDS! Also, lets supress his memories maybe he’ll accidentally kill of the last of his friends lmao

Plus he’s like....the most docile out of all of the homunculi, everyone else goes “PEH. Hoomans. look at these ants. Its pretty fun squishing them”

meanwhile Greed is the only one out of all of them that goes “Meh. I think they’re pretty okay. oH SHIT THIS ONE IS GONNA GET THEMSELVES KILLED!”

He’s gr8

8. Do you have a favorite FMAau? If not, what’s an au you’d like to see or have come up with?

Greed survives with ling AU hands down

I just want him to have extended happiness ;A;

9. If you could live anywhere in the FMA-verse, where would you live?

Post-series Xing! I bet the food would taste so goood *q*

Also, a lot less assassins later lol

10. Which FMA character do you identify with the most?

Ed! cause 1. Im short. 2. I get really pissy easily and yell a lot when i am

(Other than that, there isn’t any super-relatable characters in FMA for me. I could never be cool as any of them-)

11. Why do you love Fullmetal Alchemist? What does it mean to you? Tell me everything! Go nuts!

>Nobody is 100% evil! They all have their motive and own sets of morals/POV! Well, maybe except for Kimblee. Gross cockroach

>making *mystical Alchemy* into something that’s weaponized and a common theme in the series, + managing to apply it to a 1920s timeline instead of something medieval

>the characters oh man i love the characters

>Majority of female characters are badasses instead of being so meek!

>Historical contexts mm

>The cultural contrast between the east and the west regarding alchemy and other things

>Wow, no fan service? I’ve never seen that from Anime besides myazaki films!

>THE ENTIRE BRIGGS ARMY

>The subtle aging of the characters

Just having an anime with all of these is a blessing aaaaaaaa

I can’t believe I didn’t watch it when the nina jokes were floating everywhere
