happy father’s day and a big fuck you to people who call hohenheim a bad dad for having the courage to want to live happily with his family and save them from an apocalyptic death. i know the cognitive thinking skills in fma fandom are puny but sometimes this phenomenon really takes the cake!

#van hohenheim #fullmetal alchemist #fma #mine:miscellanea #i love ed with my whole heart but people deliberately ignore the fact he had a biased view of hohenheim no matter how valid it was #in context of himself #like Yes his circumstances logically would build up to him hating his dad #but he didn’t know the truth behind hohenheim leaving to begin with #trisha did and would probably have told ed and al when they were older!#there was no predicting she would die and that everything else would happen #so yeah ed ends up rly bitter and it’s understandable but it also heavily skews his view of hohenheim #he projects indignance onto the way hohenheim looks at him when it’s actually sadness #and he projects negligence onto hohenheim bc it’s what his circumstances have lead him to believe of his situation #even tho it’s no true #like i’m not saying you shouldn’t sympathize with ed he’s a child after all #but you can sympathize with hohenheim too lmao?#it’s baffling people call what he did child neglect when he literally left Because he wanted to save his wife and children #there was no way he could predict what happened to his family and it’s weird that people act like he could #not to mention people blatantly ignore communication issues in the time period it’s set lmao? 😭#ed and al and winry didn’t have phones in their houses and there was no way to send letters to hohenheim if he was always moving #not to mention he didn’t want father to find His family so why would he send them letters either 😭#like there’s just so much willful obtuseness about the whole thing
