Ok roy's gotta have some sort of bizarre, innate sixth sense for knowing where the elric bros are. I'm only around episode 30 but this man has just driven up to them multiple times now and told them to hop in the car. Like there's only so many explanations. Did he drive around intentionally looking for them for like, 45 minutes, getting increasingly frustrated that they just wouldn't appear on the side of the road, and then when he finally finds them he hastens to act all cool and collected to hide the fact that he was having some violent road rage not even ten minutes ago? Is it some insane luck, where he doesn't intentionally look for them but always ends up seeing them when he's out driving, so he picks them up because why not? Or does he intentionally look, and he just has some bizarre instinct like "yeah I should probably turn left three blocks from now" and he does and sure enough, there they are??

Now a few times he did this I think was because plot fights were happening and a getaway was needed, but there has also been multiple times where the only seemingly discernable reason is because he wants to drop them off at home?? That's legit all he does in "the 520 cens promise". dude just pulls up and is like "get in". Forget any possible excuses of "I need to talk to you about confidential plot relevant info and it's safest to do that while constantly moving around in an enclosed space with just us". All I hear is "You're out past your curfew and you didn't text me where you were so I came to find you and make sure you got home okay". And if that isn't protective parent behavior then idk what is.

Riza Hawkeye: Colonel, you're not gonna like this, but right now, Edward here is being the mature one.

Edward Elric : It's true. I'm being super mature, you big, dumb, hairy baby twat!

FMA/FMAB Incorrect Quotes/Scripts #1

They’re at a military conference

Roy: Go on ahead, I’ll meet you in a bit

Ed: Okay…

Roy, walking in: Fullmetal, why are you standing in the corner

Ed: Because I didn’t know what to say

Roy: So you decided to sit in the corner?

Ed: It was that or destroy their belief system

Roy: WHY WAS IT BETWEEN THAT OR DESTROY THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM???

NOT A SHIP

[gooseberryfox]

ed, crawling back into a hotel room after sneaking out: hawkeye, waiting for him: where were you? ed: uh... with the colonel? mustang, flicking on a lamp: try again.

hi not dead (physically) have art I made for The Thorn and go read her fic Mouse because it’s so cute and I read it at least twice a week and cry

have my tears @th0rnback

[harperd]

My biggest shock was going from found family fan fiction to rewatching and rereading fma

Tell me why Roy is the biggest asshole on this planet to Edward. All of these one shots fr set me up for failure I just need them to hug what the hell!!! Stop punching each other????!!!

[awesomedurraworld]

Gonna be real, but i cannot stop thinking about recovery fics and how beautiful they are. They are amazing, the way we see the character gets better always just makes me feel so inspired, the way that they learn to get over- or get around- the thing that hurt them. The way that they learn to be alive and living. How to love themselves and embrace what happened to them.

As much as i love these types of fics, i only wrote like, two maybe? With this idea (I love and have written torture more than recovery) . And it got me thinking… why not write a whole recovery fic?

It is no secret that i love parental Roy and Riza to the Elrics, and how they take him after he was being hurt and help him recover and be better and feel better.

BUT

But.

I am proposing another idea. Same child parent dynamic. Roy And the Elrics. Here is what i am thinking:

Evil Millirty hating how good and you Mustang is and they know he is a threat + them setting up to kidnap him by evil gang or something + team Mustang for some reason not being that loyal in finding him + Elrics stop their red stone research and to find their missing dad CO+ THEM SAVING THIER ADULT + FAMILY DRAMA AND PROTECTIVE SONS™️= my new fic idea

Which has traumatized Roy who is trying his best not being so traumatized but in the middle of it all, the Elrics discover How badly hurt thier adult is!

WHO IS WITH ME!!?

[user-needs-a-username]

Thanks for the tag @gooseberryfox. It's very sweet of you to think of me. I don't think I've ever been tagged for one of these types of things. The first line of ten random fics of mine? Okay.

1. Mustang froze as he laid his eyes on the spray of blood over the walls. (Fullmetal Alchemist, Small Things, a parental RoyEd and Al fic)

2. Reigen was Exhausted—with a capital e and maybe an x and maybe a few more letters—it was falling asleep standing in the shower tired. (Mob Psycho 100, Overflow, Mob looking after Reigen.)

3. Mustang was looking at him weirdly. (Fullmetal Alchemist, Stay Awake, a parental RoyEd presenter AU)

4. Varian was confused as he looked all around at the white void that he stood in. (Tangled and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover, Through the Gate, Family vibes.)

5. Edward stared at the wall, listening to the dull drip drip of blood hitting the white tile floor. (Fullmetal Alchemist, The Blade for the Undiplomatic, Parental RoyEd)

6. The only sound around was the clinking and chinking of chain as it rattled. (Fullmetal Alchemist, It's a Dream, Parental RoyEd)

7. Pain was an inevitable piece of life, was it not? (Fullmetal Alchemist, Hidden in the Shadows, Parental RoyEd.)

8. There was the heart-stopping panic of waking up with your hand tied above your head and both your automail limbs gone. (Fullmetal Alchemist, Fitting End, Parental RoyEd.)

9. "Don't tell Dick." (Batman, Naming the New Weapon, attempt at a crack fic.)

10. Edward walked swiftly, keeping his foot steps light and imperceptible. (Fullmetal Alchemist, Drown Your Sorrows, Parental Roy and Maes because Ed needs a lot of parents.)

There are a lot of Fullmetal Alchemist, and I guess I only took from Ao3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmm, I don't really know who to ping here... All the people I would have tagged have been now (Lynn and Sweet). I guess I could do @skyfallslayer but that's the only other person I can think of. 😅

And @iselsis (happy birthday btw). You have to do it because I will make you suffer if you don't.

[th0rnback]

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, AMIRITE? Thank you sweet @justanotherinterneruser for including me, even if I am dead 90% of the time on here. I enjoy silly little challenges. So, a repeat of rules: pick 10 of your fics and post the first line of each? 1. ‘‘Makes you sick, doesn’t it?’’ (Full of Mettle, Fullmetal Alchemist. Hurt/Comfort, and pure chaos. Still progressing aka me fussing between depressive fugue states and growing bashfully encouraged at the comments.)

2. Ears ringing and brain whirling, Roy Mustang sluggishly woke to a blurry world of gray smudges. (Learning to Vent, Fullmetal Alchemist. Hurt/Comfort Parental Roy)   3. Edward once asked the Colonel why mine inspections. (Mouse, Fullmetal Alchemist. Hurt/Comfort Parental Roy)

4. A warm wind swept across the grassy knoll that Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang occupied. (Wild Rabbits, Barley Soup, and War-Torn Towns – Fullmetal Alchemist. My addition to Boredom and I’s silly and addictive found family ‘Dad Making A Difference’) 5.It started off small and inconsequential during his first month of joining the military. (Courage is Fire, and Bullying Is Smoke, Fullmetal Alchemist)

6. ‘‘Brother…’’ (Worrywart, Fullmetal Alchemist)

7. Heart pounding, Edward managed to escape the shouts of his pursuers.  (Nowhere to Run, Fullmetal Alchemist.)

8. The suit of armor was mountainous and intimidating, made entirely of gleaming gunmetal-colored steel. (The Boys, Fullmetal Alchemist.)

9. The sky was nothing more than a mass of gray and black rolling clouds that lashed icy sheets of rain down upon them. (Landslide, Fullmetal Alchemist.)

10."I need you to listen to me very carefully, Edward.’’  (Liar, Fullmetal Alchemist – Parental Riza)

Annnnnd, I'm supposed to tag, but I'm more of a lurker (who answers messages) on here, so I won't bother folk. Hahah.

[dirtytransmasc]

Ed taking a pretty nasty hit to his automail, the port being pretty much destroyed, having to start back at square one, redoing his surgery, relearning and retraining his nerves to move the automail, physical therapy. all of it. all over again.

except this time he has his dad (Roy) by his side.

I think yes

[katharinedraws00]

Coming back from my grave, but this time around I’m bringing y’all some angst, this is fanart for @justanotherinterneruser fic “don’t look” I very much enjoyed reading it and maybe cried just a lil at the ending so I wanted to draw something for it :>

Hope ya like it.

[obligitory-fma-blog]

I watched the second fma Netflix adaptation. Here’s the best of my notes:

They had the whole fma original soundtrack to use for this movie and tHEY DIDNT??

Purification arts of Xing?? Just call it Alcehestry like they do in the show?? (No I didn’t spell it right I was noting stuff as I went and didn’t look it up)

Okay the weird pause before Lan Fan pulled out the smoke bomb…

ITS AN ACTUAL BOMB?????

Lots of weird pauses and slow-mo’s to mimic anime fights but it reads weird as live action and I don’t like it

HUGHES THANK FUCK PLEASE MAKE THIS LESS WEIRD

Wtf never mind hi envy with your shit ass wig (I forgot they killed off Hughes in the first one 😭😭)

LAN FAN BODIED HIM LMAO

Ed really be like “you do you ig”

“Yeah people exploding today!” Is my favorite line so far. (English Captions with Japanese audio; this was the train hijacker guy from fma 03)

Ed’s expression when Mustang shows up is the most in character thing I will say that (after train stuff)

I will say they did better on characterization this time around I feel like they’re close to the actual characters

But it’s hard to get close to them since they aren’t, well, animated characters. Trying not to judge too harshly.

Not terrible so far actually

Okay nevermind about the cgi WHAT IS WITH XIAOMEI

“I mean, we’re just some decent human beings.” -Ed who wanted to leave Mei behind

GO OFF MEI YEAHHHH TELL HIM THE BITCH

Okay we’re gonna have a really awkward explosion-over-short moment that just will not work because it isn’t animated

GIRLIE ARE YOU HAVING A SEIZURE

Mei being a bitch back is warranted

They be running

“You’ll never catch me, tiny rice man!” -Mei (rice man?)

The dialogue being altered where Ed says he doesn’t have a god to pray to before scar kills him bothers me

I like Alphonse’s movements on the ground when he’s incapacitated, I think the cgi works well there

Hi Mustang good on you for saving your pseudo sons

Riza with the side eye lmao

The slowmo’s again like hello

ARMSTRONG HIIIII You look really fuckin weird tho But HIIIIII

Okay the flexing I can do without thanks it looks weird

Yes Breda why is he shirtless

The red eyes don’t look good either. (For scar)

N ow see why wouldn’t you put in a leitmotif for the brothers theme in this scene with Ed and Al and instead just put in sad piano that sounds vaguely similar to it

WHERES THE LINE ABOUT THEM BEING BROKEN BUT ALIVE WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE THAT

Riza being the best and putting her coat over Ed >>>>

Mustang go comfort your son’s PLEASE

Okay just ignore that I’m on the found family train

Girlie that looked like a bad PowerPoint presentation WHY WOULD YOU DO IT LIKE THAT?? (The part where the officer shot the ishvallen child)

Gluttony… hi… again…. Can’t wait for your cgi…. (It didn’t look as bad tbh)

Sorry but with the military uniform off and just the white collared shirt he looks LIKE A DAD LIKE CMON (Mustang)

“You’ve grown… at least I think.” -Hoenhiem, observational genius

“I think I like this scene better than canon a bit actually? Cause Ed gets to express his emotions more than just calling him a bastard

Okay Hoenhiem just ignore him??

Uh oh they have to walk back together

“Our hair matches :D” -Hoenhiem

Ed immediately takes his out of the ponytail

Im not gonna lie I chuckled at that

Also I love seeing Ed with his hair down we don’t get enough of that

“stop following me” -Ed

“we’re going to the same place? 😥” -Hoenhiem

Okay we’re talking about Xerxes instead of Ed and Al’s mom or…?

And the bitch is gone

YOURE GOING TO XERXES WITH AUTOMAIL YOU DUMBASS YOURE GONNA OVERHEAT

Ooooo love the look of Xerxes ruins

Awwww Winry’s parents :D we get more of them

They’re gonna die tho and I hate that :(

This is gonna be so hard wrenching actually-

GIRL IM GONNA CRY

5 minutes into Central and you’re already causing trouble, good job Ed

Al I feel like has the weakest characterization so far in this adaptation he’s just reacting to stuff rather than doing stuff as far as I’ve seen

Scar when Winry is having a breakdown🧍

Ruhroh Winry’s got a gun

Okay the slowmo makes more sense here

Ed saves the day :D

Also we finally see scars brother after getting no context on him

Good acting on Lan Fan’s part

Also why is this calling her Ran Fan? Is that a dub thing (they called Ling “Lin” but this was all in the captions so I’m confused)

“King Bradley is a Homonculus” very serious Ling “hUh.” -Ed

Any Mustang and Hughes content is good Mustang and Hughes content I don’t make the rules

Also it’s good they didn’t change the layout of Riza’s explanation montage for Ishval because it works really well in canon and translated pretty well to live action

Riza and Roy’s speeches near the end >>>

Oh great the bros are gonna try and catch scar alone this can only end well

Well they definitely didn’t catch him

WINRY HOW TF ARE YOU HERE??

MUSTANG WHY TF ARE YOU HERE???

Oh hi Riza :D

Mustang’s like “let ur gf speak to him if she wants like damn”

Ed’s like “bb girl if he says anything shitty I’ll fight for you”

WINRY GIRLBOSS LUV HER

“Hell no I don’t forgive you for shit, but I’m gonna patch you up anyway.” -Winry

Okay cool message, someone must endure pain if it means they can prevent further suffering and cycles of violence

Uh oh Gluttony escaped

He be runnin

YEAH ED AND AL SAVE UR DAD

YEAH SCAR SAVE WINRY

YEAHHHHHH

“Wait I won’t leave you behind” MUSTANG BEING A DAD AHEGWIWNWN

“Colonel your fight is elsewhere” SCREAMING

Oh hi envy

ED SAVINF LING

and they got eaten lmao

Yay we’re all trapped in Gluttony’s stomach :D

Envy is so cynical what a bitch lol

“Tf is a portal of truth 🧍” -Ling

Oh great we’re gonna get cgi envy this will go well right?

EW

Could be worse but

EW

Conclusion: it was okay. There were parts I genuinely liked. There are things that also bug me to no end. The soundtrack from the original series would’ve fit way better and a lot of times it sounded like an off brand marvel track. Acting and cgi was a lot better (at times.) An improvement on the first one, and a semi-worthwhile watch if you have nothing else to do and you like fma. Cannot and will never be a substitute for the original obviously. Seems like less of a cash grab and more of a genuine effort this time which I appreciate. Overall? 6.5/10

(Lemme know if y’all want my full notes version because it has way more of me screaming and being goofy)

[sidewalk-cracks]

I’ve been going absolutely rabid over dad!Roy but I’ve noticed that all ya’ll in this glorious community have been missing out on like some god-tier fluff potential, in the form of Roy taking care of Ed’s hair. Like Ed’s been injured and is in the hospital or smth, and his hair’s all ratty. Roy gently brushing through it??? Roy braiding it?? Roy running his hands through it to make sure he got all the tangles?? Roy even carefully washing it in the sink for him?? Towling it dry?? like hello?????? Ed obviously cares about his hair a lot since he’s grown it so long and kept it that long, and just the concept of him hesitantly allowing Roy to take care of this small but important thing for him?? because no matter how they normally act, deep down Ed does really look up to Roy and wants to be able to trust him with more personal stuff like this??? and Roy being stupidly happy that Ed’s letting him do this, because the kid’s always so prickly and normally adamant that he doesn’t need help??? like I’m losing my mind over this
