[lucky-clover-gazette]

so i am very happy and comfortable identifying as a cis woman! and i dont really want this post to be like dramatic irony haha, i am what i am and that’s what a woman is. not up for discussion. BUT damn, since i lost weight and got a breast reduction and grew out my hair and stopped wearing makeup as often, i do sometimes catch myself in the mirror like “oh i am a pretty little guy” or “kind of handsome girl.” link legend of zelda or edward elric or long haired catra vibes. it’s just kinda nice, to have put a lot of effort into putting myself in a body that makes me happy :) i am a very cool looking woman and i love my long hair esp in a kinda androgynous context. thank you mirrors <3

My little sister rates qsmp presidential candidates as trustworthy or not

Or: my sister has never seen any qsmp content, but she does like politics! (She thinks it’s fun.)

1. BadBoyHalo

Ranking: Trustworthy!

“He looks like a nice guy, and cults are pretty famous for their internal structure and organization. He probably knows what he’s doing.”

2. Foolish

[wickedcriminal]

Just started playing Skyrim as Edward Elric, here's a few highlights of my run and the Lore:

I'm playing on legendary survival mode because Ed's life sucks <3

One of the essential goals is to level alchemy up to 100. I will also be playing as a mage (which I've never done before so this should be interesting)

I'm not allowed to kill ANY PERSON. Not even bandits. Because Ed's a staunch pacifist so the 'people death' counter stays at zero for as long as humanly possible if not the entire playthrough. This is only for people, though, so draugr, animals, monsters, robots etc don't count. (I'm not sure where dragons land on that but I've already killed one so I guess it's too late to ponder it)

Also im not allowed to use soul gems. Those are functionally philosopher's stones, so Ed's not keen on that

I will also not be using any shrines/amulets because Ed's an atheist

Only steel and iron weapons! He's the Fullmetal Alchemist after all. Preferably one-handed weapons, as the sword arm is his go-to.

Enchantments are allowed (outside of soul trap for obvious reasons) as long as they come with the weapon when I find it, and I can't recharge them or make my own since I can't use soul gems

Leather armor because Ed wears leather in canon. Presently looking for a red outfit that looks anything like his coat. I'm thinking the vampire armor will be my best bet

I've got no mods otherwise I'd add a dwarven centurion follower and have that be my Al

As it stands, though, I've come up with a story that Al is functionally dead but Ed can summon his soul to fight for him in the form of conjuration spells. So far I've been summoning 'Al' as a wolf familiar and even a storm atronach when I found a scroll for it

(I considered dressing a follower up in armor so that they can be 'Al'. Still thinking about it but i kinda like the conjuration thing)

Ed's 'journey' lore wise is researching the Dwemer, since he thinks their disappearance could be related to Al's body being gone. I'll be reading every book possible about the Dwemer and researching every possible Dwemer ruin when I find it (I don't know a lot about the Dwemer anyway so me and Ed both are learning Together)

I'm also gonna be going to hermaeus mora's creepy realm cuz that's probably the closest to the truth dimension im gonna get (I've never finished that quest before this is gonna be fun)

I've got no Winry stand in but every time I upgrade my armor and weapons I pretend I'm stopping by Rush Valley or smth. Winry is there in spirit

I will be punching every godlike being in the face whenever humanly possible because that's what Edward Elric would do

That's it so far, I'll keep you updated on what's going on with the pipsqueak as i go along✌️

DAILY BRAINROT

Ok so... Mask with a braid. Mask with a braid. I have been enlightened by Fullmetal Alchemist. I have been thinking about this all day. All day.

Also hit that point of the FMA books that's sorta "wow that's kinda fucked up and it's only going to get worse from here."

Also we just ended our Marvel movie marathon my roommate's been in charge of and I'm taking notes from the death scene in Endgame because I want to inflict that kind of pain on people. It's perfect timing since I was going to make Wild die in Hyrule's arms anyway.

My muse has returned and I have been writing away when I'm not at work or actively being socialized like a cat. I am unstoppable. >:]

80% of how Time exists as a character to me and how I write him is because of Edward Elric, I need you to know this alskdkdkdk. Ever since I started thinking of him as similar to post canon Ed he’s become so easy to write and understand as a character because Mask at 12 brings to the table what 15 yo Ed did, they are so incredibly similar to me in looks AND personality. Like from the explosive anger to cover up fear to the way their bangs look, they remind me so so much of each other oh my god. And Edward Elric is 100% responsible for the reason I headcanon Time’s hair goes to his collar bones, it wasn’t even a conscious decision to headcanon that it just happened and I know it’s Ed’s fault

But yes, yes, Mask with long hair and a braid. Yessssssssss I see ur vision

OUGH. WELL NOW IM SCARED, YOU’VE BEEN TAKING NOTES??

[yarrayora]

did not expect harunobu to be more fuckable than people in actual fantasy settings. I'm kinda curious as to how you make your metric for the fuckable in dunmesshi series.

the appearance ones are headcanon heavy (i mean everything is lol) kobolds get so little opinion bc we dont get much about them in canon. for the eastern archipelago it's like... using asian standard of beauty, but from the perspective of people who generally have only interacted with fellow asians and rarely see foreigners if ever.

the northern continent people have similar metric "westerners but they have never seen asian before" basically. western continent have been said to be heavily influenced by elven culture, so i used the waifish delicate beauty as their standard, same for the elves.

for dwarves the hairier the better and ofc but also they don't like thin bodies and don't find curvy ones all that attractive either. stacked like bricks is the way to go.

for half-foot and gnomes i imagine a lot of their tastes overlap for example being too tall (for their height) is kinda off-putting and big expressive ears are attractive but also with differences like how long fingers are attractive to half-foots but creepy looking for gnomes

the orcs loooooove them thick (sorry i can't think of anything else about them right now lmfao)

most importantly though "do these characters look like they came from a race they have racial tension with?"

but with different standard of beauty for each races what would be most appealing for all of them would be in terms of personality and stability.

are they friendly? are they not? would they be willing to learn cultures they're unfamiliar with? how do they react to those cultures? these reasons are why alphonse elric got higher rating than his brother. not saying edward is racist and bigoted, but he can be rather careless with his words.

for the stability it's both about incomes and relationship i guess? like i said before people who can contribute to society are considered high spec bachelors, be it a hunter that can help stock up meat for the winter or a researcher who help inventing medicine to prevent illnesses. and as for relationship we have seen about how being a workaholic who can't communicate his feelings work out for chilchuck lol

speaking of contributing to society an orc would appreciate a hunter more than a researcher and vice versa. the differences in societal value affect how attractive a character seems

these are also just a broad generalization that doesn't take personal preferences into accounts, just like how namari has been implied to find long legs attractive, which other dwarves make fun of her of

FMAB / AoT Comparisons and Contrasts

I was holding off on making this post because I didn’t have enough evidence to compare EVERY aspect from both franchises, but I feel like I have enough evidence to at least explore the similarities between a majority of the main characters and a couple locations. That said, I reserve the right to make a second part to this post if I feel like it.

OKAY! SO!

Because I am an avid, hardcore fan of both Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist, I began to look compare and contrast characters from both series and oh my goodness the similarities are uncanny- like, y’all, I’m so convinced Isayama took inspiration from FMA, I’d be shocked if he didn’t.

Before I get into anything, I should point out that someone has made a couple of these observations already in a Reddit post, but I’m just adding onto these findings. Link to the OG post is below.

SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY AHEAD FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FINISHED EITHER SHOW!!

Alright, so to start off in terms of characters, we’ve got Edward Elric and Eren Jaeger.

They’re both hot-tempered kids who lose their moms and see her suffer in horrific ways.

Their dads also technically walked out on them early on in their lives.

They also lose body parts but get them back at some point.

The deaths of their mothers trigger their character arcs, starting with how? Enlisting in the military.

Then there’s Winry Rockbell and Mikasa Ackerman:

Childhood friends/love interests whose parents died at a young age.

They care deeply about the protagonists.

They’re also terrifying when angry.

Alphonse Elric and Armin Arlert:

The blonde, smart, sensible characters who are almost always by the protagonists’ side.

Got an absolute GLOW-UP as they got older.

Trisha Elric and Carla Jaeger:

Mothers to the protagonists who have the signature “dead anime mom” hairstyle.

Died while the protagonists were young.

Their deaths prompted their sons’ character arcs. (If not the entirety of both series.)

Unaware of their husbands’ past.

Van Hohenheim and Grisha Jaeger:

Fathers to the protagonists who walk out on their families at an early age.

Both wear glasses and have somewhat? long hair.

Both were either directly or indirectly responsible for murder at some point.

Under the heel of a higher power too. (Grisha with Marley and Hohenheim with Xerxes.)

Jean Havoc and Jean Kirstein:

These are literally the same characters, just different shows.

Same first name, same haircut, same mannerisms, SAME ENGLISH VA-

Also kinda got a glow up as they got older.

Once again, if I had a nickel for every time Mike McFarland voiced a character named Jean with an undercut and playboy tendencies, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right??

Roy Mustang and Levi Ackerman:

The cool, collected and unbelievably badass heartthrobs with black hair and high military ranks.

Also terrifying when pissed off.

Riza Hawkeye and Hange Zoe:

The second in command that’s usually by their superior’s side.

Also unbelievably badass.

People may or may not ship them with their superior.

Erwin Smith and King Bradley:

I honestly could not find much similarities between these two except for the fact that they’re both leaders of their military division?

And they both die in the end I guess.

Maes Hughes and Marco Bodt:

The kind, gentle hearted ally of the protagonists who find out the truth about their enemies before anyone else and dies because of it.

Lust and Annie Leonhart:

Female antagonists that get dealt with early on in their series.

Capable of regeneration of their body.

Brings harm to the protagonist’s ally at one point. (Lust with Hughes and Annie with Marco.)

Gluttony and Bertholdt Hoover:

Male antagonists who are usually around or involved with their female partner one way or another (Bertholdt with Annie / Gluttony with Lust).

Care for their female partner a lot.

Both are killed by being eaten by someone (Bertholdt is eaten by Armin / Gluttony is eaten by Pride), but not before desperately crying out for their female partner (Bertholdt cries out for Annie / Gluttony cries out for Lust).

Scar and Reiner Braun:

Scorned men and enemies of the protagonist who eventually come after them to get revenge for their homeland(?).

Turn around and become good(?) in the end, fighting alongside the protagonists’ allies against a common but VERY different enemy (Reiner with Eren / Scar with Father).

Truth and Ymir Fritz:

Beings from another realm that interact with the protagonist one way or another.

Aid the protagonist realize their full potential, for better (Edward) and for worse (Eren).

Homunculi and Titan Shifters:

Mysterious beings with regenerative properties and unique powers.

Their powers can be transferred to new users if the previous users dies(?) (Ex. Greed with Ling / Eating a Titan Shifter as a pure Titan).

I swear I am not crazy, I just have an unhealthy obsession with both of these shows. Making a part two shortly.

OG Reddit post here:

[a-skeleton-with-a-keyboard]

Pride is almost over yes BUT that doesn't mean I got nothing to post

So in honor of last minute pride, here's character's that I to this day can't tell if it's crush or gender envy in no particular order, as well my gay awakenings!

Joey wheeler(yugioh) it's manly the vibe he's also very nice to look at

Ben Tennyson (Ben 10) definitely manly the vibe, cuz he kinda boring appearance wise

Jake long (American dragon) his vibe and style are things I like

Danny phanton(Danny phantom) same as ben

Edward elric(fullmetal alchemist) his physics and vibe

Duncan (total drama island) the style and vibe

Marshall lee(Fionna and cake) his it's whatevs approach to his style is something I want so bad!

The black rabbit if inla(watership down) hear me out! The Ethereal almost incomprehensible being definitely gotta be some type of gender evny thing

Six(cyber six) we love a genderfluid Lord!

And for my gay awakenings!

Fujiko mine (Lupin the third) the women is STUNNING!!

Asha clan clan and twilight suzuka(outlaw star) both I find attractive for different reasons

Shego(Kim Possible) there is nothing I can add that haven't been said

Lust(fullmetal alchemist) again, evil women

Honorable mentions!

Stingmon(digimon and don't even ask me), that one image of leorio from the 1999 hxh(yall know the one) and all those genderbent character fanarts

I think that's it, there are definitely more, but so many shows to little memory storage 💀

[turtleblogatlast]

Just to kinda lighten it up a little.

What would you say is the favorite part of this AU?

Also what would do you think Leo would be the most excited to do with each of his brothers once he's back?

Well, my personal favorite part is Leo just Looking Sixteen, because that makes for a ton of comedic potential. (Angst too, but this is a LIGHTHEARTED POST-)

Already he’s shorter than his brothers (even Mikey, who is still short at 5’8 (173 cm) but that’s still more than Leo dammit- at least April is tiny) but he also knows from Junior that he would have grown to be at LEAST six feet tall, if not more, so that’s not fair.

Moving on from that, in “Dimensional Travel for Dummies” aka Path B, he can potentially meet with that same “future” self and that interaction would go like this:

“Future” Leo: hey, kid

Prison!Leo, well past 100 at this point: 🤨 KID???????

(In a way, he is still kind of a kid, frontal cortex is still the same as it was at 16 so lol the jokes on him, poor guy)

As for what he was most excited to do with his bros, well, real answer is SAD and we’re going lighthearted, so Happy Answer is:

For Mikey, he just wanted to have fun again. He wanted to play, eat, and just in general live life to the fullest because fun was always the name of the game with this duo. (Even though Leo now gets the Edward Elric treatment due to their “different ages” lol)

For Donnie, he was excited to see how much his twin had accomplished in six years. Despite how much he teases, he’s genuinely impressed when he sees what Donnie makes, and he’s super excited to see all that Donnie has now. He also missed teasing him lol.

For Raph, god, he missed Raph’s hugs. So badly. UH, HAPPY, HAPPY…He actually missed laying against Raph during their marathons of Jupiter Jim or Lou Jitsu, because there’s honestly nothing more comforting than the snores of his big brother, even though he pokes fun at Raph about it lol.

[squipedmew]

Behold, the updated team OMEN lineup! (click for better quality)

I ended up revamping the designs pretty much completely because, if I'm being honest, I feel like the originals were too boring, especially for the world of RWBY, not to mention my character design skills have improved a lot since I first designed them.

I'm super happy with how all of these have turned out, and I think they're finally starting to look like a semi-cohesive unit (as much as these dysfunctional dorks can anyways)

individual designs/design notes under the cut!

Oscar's obviously undergone the most change in this AU, so it makes sense for his outfit to be the most radically different. However, I still wanted you to be able to tell this was still Oscar, if that makes any sense. As such, I wanted to incorporate some elements of his other outfits into this one.

I leaned WAY more into the steampunky vibes with this design, and I ended up using the shade of red that's on his Atlas jacket.

Since he tends to associate green with Ozpin (he barely had any green on his v4 design, and only started wearing it after he started coming to terms with the merge) I wanted to incorporate the autumn colors of his v4 design in. Lots of dark reds and browns, though with a much more muted color palate than before.

He's still got that pop of green w/ the patch on his leg tho

The goggles are to hide when the grimm starts to show in his eyes.

The gear pin is actually a gear he took from Long Memory as a memento!

The bag on the back of his belt is for carrying Dust rounds.

He tends to have most of his body covered, as to hide the scars he got from the grimm and his time with Salem

The whole team have their emblems slashed for symbolic reasons (and also b/c merc thought it looked cool.) his is on the back of his jacket!

Mercury is arguably the character who's design went through the biggest changes over the years. Truth be told, I had a lot of trouble designing him when I first started, considering his Vale outfit was so bland and didn't give me much to work off of. Thankfully, V8 picked up the slack and gave me a better idea of what to go for.

I designed him to invoke a sort of beat up vigilante kind of feel - someone who's roughing it most of the time, and doesn't really have the time to care about appearances.

His coat is SUPER torn up due to his fighting style, being incredibly close quarters. The rips on the bottom are unintentional, but I imagine that when they got to Vacuo, he just cut the sleeves off it himself.

I wanted to turn the saturation of his colors WAY UP, not only because it looks more interesting this way, but because it's also indicative of the headspace he's in by the time he gets this outfit, which is to say, a lot brighter.

I also wanted to make his face a LITTLE bit more distinct, so I gave him an eyebrow slit and a mole on his cheek, along with a lot of scars from all the fighting he’s done over the years. I imagine Neo helped him with the eyebrow.

The jacket actually has ice Dust woven on the inside, to keep him cool. Nevertheless, he loves to fling it off dramatically during battle, Edward Elric style.

Emerald gifted him the dog tag - it was one of the first pieces of jewelry she ever made.

His emblem is on the back of his coat - he wanted it to stand out from everyone else's, so he slashed it twice.

And on the other hand, Emerald's design is probably the one that's changed the least. I kinda struck gold with the mark 2 outfit, so I didn’t really feel the need to deviate all that much.

I wanted her design to be one that gives the impression of mobility - light, simple enough, with lots of arm and leg room to maneuver around (and yes I know the heels aren't practical for that, let me have this)

I changed the black color to have a hood on her top instead because I thought it fit the character better. Em is a thief after all - hoods are good for stealth.

The biggest change is, of course, the undercut. Out of everyone in the group, Emerald's the most accustomed to the heat, so she'd probably cut it a bit to keep her head a bit cooler.

All the bracelets and earings she's wearing are handmade, probably out of scrap metal she’s found while on the streets. I imagine that Emerald is pretty crafty, and likes making stuff like this in her spare time.

The red accents in her previous outfits were there to match with Cinder (who, noticeably never had any green accents in return) As such, this design lacks any red accents, as she's trying to move on from that toxic relationship.

Her pockets are actually pretty deep, and hold things like bandages and emergency mini smoke grenades.

Her emblem is also on the back of her jacket, matching Oscar's.

And finally, best girl Neo. TBH, I VASTLY prefer her Vale design to her Atlas ones (it's my fave in the whole show) so I drew more from that than the other one.

I was kinda trying to go for a magician's assistant vibe with this outfit, with the bowtie and gloves and all that.

Neo's not very experienced with the heat, being Atlesian, so she didn't really dress properly. As such, she ended up putting her hair in a ponytail.

A fun idea I got right away were slits in her sleeves and pants, but then I one-upped myself, and thought; what if they were lace?

The original design had way too much black and not enough brown, so I tried to incorporate more of that into this design, since, y'know - Neapolitan ice cream and all that.

She's changed the band of her hat to be a more reddish shade, in remembrance of Torchwick, and she's also swapped out the feather to match the rest of her outfit.

And yes, she swapped the sides of her hair each color was on to see if anyone would notice. (No one has said anything yet.)

Her emblem is a pin on the side of her hat. Neo didn't strike me as the type of character to wear an emblem, but I still wanted to incorporate it, so I figured something subtle like a pin would work.

[limetameta]

You know what's an even funnier AU, in my personal opinion: Kimblee never goes to prison, he still has the stone, like they never asked for the stone back AU

Kimblee is so painfully underutilized here that he's slowly going insane because he has the stone, but he doesn't have anything to use it on. And he isn't going to go out of his way to be some sort of vigilante and blow people up for sport in the streets, that's so gauche. So he's just living and he doesn't know what to do with himself. Sure, every time he has to conduct some alchemy experiments for his recertification the results are ingenious because he uses the stone and tests the limits of his alchemy every time, more and more - until he's sure he's perfected it - but my god, peacetime is so boring.

And he can't say that. He can't be THAT GUY. Well, he could very easily be that guy but he's not at the front anymore and he's playing a whole different game now - so it's better that he doesn't antagonize more people than he just generally does.

I feel like this Kimblee would love the Elric brothers so much because finally, FINALLY, something interesting is happening. These kids bring destruction with them wherever they go and Kimblee's enchanted. They get into so much mayhem that Kimblee, in turn, gets to use the stone on a much more regular basis.

But they interact so rarely and it's a shame. Kimblee's in Central City, some sort of Brigadier General who's moved up on account of his war accolades. And Mustang was clearly shot in the foot by being forced into watching over a twelve year old. But Kimblee wants them with him in Central. He could ask for their transfer, but that's too suspicious. Edward doesn't even like Kimblee. Alphonse and Kimblee get on better anyway. So, Kimblee gets a wonderful idea to stage a fake promotion for Edward.

This, also, goes in hand for the homunculi who want to have the elrics where they can watch them.

But Edward's just like nah.

And Kimblee's a bit peeved, he'll admit it. Because why wouldn't a teenager want to lord it over everyone that he's outranking them? Being lieutenant colonel at his age is nothing to sneeze at.

But, nope, Edward's adamant that if he gets that promotion he won't be able to go on quests and research expeditions. And Kimblee's like that's true enough but more money gets you more resources, anyway.

He doesn't know why he's bargaining with a teenager, but he's here. And the screams from the stone aren't screaming, so much as they're screech-laughing at him.

Edward just kinda shrugs. ''I feel like I'm slo close to figuring out a way to get our bodies back. I just need to find some more information about the ph stone. I wish there was like someone who knew anything about those.''

And Kimblee just looks at this kid. And he smiles.

''Tell you what, Lieutenant Colonel Elric, accept the promotion and the transfer, and I'll tell you everything about the ph stone you want to know.''

Cut to a couple of weeks later:

Edward's wrangling one of those walking white puppet things with the ph stone embedded in them. Kimblee's losing his shit about how many ph stones are right under his nose. They take the puppet, take the stone out of it, and use it to get Al and Ed their bodies back. It's only after do they realise how the stone is made. Guilt train coming through.

Except for Kimblee, who's like: Well, the way I see it, you've already broken one giant taboo. Why not go on?

Alphonse, human body, head in his hands: What have we done...

Kimblee, pockets full of ph stones: I think you two did the right thing!

Edward, head in flesh hands: The fact that you're saying that means we definitely didn't!
