This drawing of Asha from Wish took me 4 hours to draw, 3 of which were dedicated to learning how to properly draw braids/plaits for the first time, sorry for the lack of detail on her dress and shitty background it is 3:44 am and I am so so tired

every time a transfem says “no wonder transfems are afraid of transmascs, every time we mention it we get harassed by transmascs telling us how horrible and disgusting we are for being afraid of misogyny” we get harassed by transmascs telling us how horrible and disgusting we are for being afraid of misogyny.

to me fullmetal alchemist is just about cycles.

hohenheim, 400 years ago, created the first homunculus trying to bring back his dead son. izumi curtis tried to bring back her own child. ed and al followed both their father and their mentor's footsteps and tried to bring back their mother. time and time again, it is always about love and grief, and you can never learn, because you can never stop loving. you can never stop fully giving yourself to someone and being willing to do anything to bring them back. maybe ed and al didn't know their mother would have lost something important, being brought back to life after death, but izumi and hohenheim must have, in the back of their minds, known, lost as they were to grief and uncaring for the consequences.

this show, to me, is a tragedy because it is driven by love. love turned to grief led ed and al to try and bring back a version of their mother. ed's unwavering love for al leads him across the country, leads him to doing whatever it takes to bring his brother's body back. love drives al to the same goal. this is the price we pay to love, and fma makes sure we know this, over and over. grief is the price of love. playing god, thinking you could outsmart unmovable forces, is the price we pay to love, to grieve love lost. after all, what made orpheus walk for days in the underworld only to turn back when he was within the sun's reach to make sure his lover was still there? what made him turn back, if not love? what made them all sacrifice everything, every painful part of them they had to give, simply to be able to hold the person they love again?
