The Tail of an Alchemist (Chimera/Merperson au proof of concept)

So, as stated above, this is just a proof of concept for this idea! Obviously, ideas will change between this and the final version (whenever I do write that).

Context: This is set in Dublith and after brotherhood. Before the start, Ed and Al were visiting their teacher and would have moved on to Resembool, but Ed was kidnapped and used in a chimera experiment where aquatic creatures were used instead of land animals. A month has passed since Ed's kidnapping, and Al has been tirelessly looking for him when he is sent an unsigned note and told to meet them at a cafe in town, and he will be told everything.

Word count: 4322

Al looked at the note in his hands to confirm he was at the right café. Biting the inside of his cheek, he skimmed the message over again before looking up again to see a woman wearing a large white sun hat, dark large-rimmed sunglasses, and a flowy light blue sundress smiling at him and waving like an old friend. His eyebrows knitted together with uncertainty, and he awkwardly waved as he made his way to the middle of the outdoor dining area.

“Oh, it’s so nice to see you again, Alphonse!” She gushed as he stepped closer. He opened his mouth to speak but was abruptly cut off when she reached and hugged him tightly. “My name is Khrista,” she whispered before letting him go and motioning for him to sit in the chair across from her. “I hope you don’t mind that I ordered for you.”

“U-uh, n-no, that’s-that’s fine.” He was still reeling from the sudden interaction with this woman. He then shook his head, cleared his throat, and tried to get to the point of their meet-up. “Your note said you knew where my broth-“ He jumped a little as Khrista quickly raised her hand to stop him.

“Speak quietly,” her voice was now low and serious, starkly contrasting to how she had spoken just moments ago. “I don’t know if they’re watching or not.” She pulled her hand away, and he looked at her in confusion.

“Who’s watching?” Al whispered.

“My coworkers.” The blond was now more confused. Khrista sighed and began to explain, “I used to work in one of the labs in Central. My department specialized in chimera alchemy.” A chill shot down Al’s back. “Not long after Bradley was killed, the military cleared out the labs, and the experiments we were doing came to light.”

“You were using death row inmates, weren’t you?” Khrista gasped quietly.

“How did you know?”

“It was partially a guess, but my brother and I know what was happening at Lab 5.” She sighed again and nodded.

“We were using death row inmates and also soldiers deemed too close to death to be saved.” Al swallowed as the Devil’s Nest chimeras, and then Nina flashed through his head.

“Was-“ Al stopped short as a waiter approached their table and placed plates in front of them. It looked like a simple breakfast sandwich. They thanked the waiter and waited for him to be out of earshot before diving back into their conversation. “Was a man named Shou Tucker working with you?”

“The Sewing Life Alchemist?” Al nodded, “No, he wasn’t, but I heard rumors that they were thinking of asking him to have him work with us, but then…” She picked up a grape from her plate and popped it into her mouth before continuing. “My department and I fled before the soldiers could round us up. There were about six of us, and almost all of us were addicted to trying to create the perfect chimera, myself being one of them.” Though he couldn’t see her eyes very well, thanks to her sunglasses, he saw that she looked ashamed and avoided meeting his eyes by staring down at her food. “One of my coworkers said they knew of an abandoned building just outside of Dublith, their hometown. We made our way down here, and they showed us the building. We got to work making a new secret lab to continue our work. Thanks to alchemy, it didn’t take long to make, and it was up and running within a couple of months. We had discussed how and where we would get test subjects, and our department head, Dante, said they would use anyone who wouldn’t be missed. Homeless people, gang members, drug dealers…the list goes on.” She sniffed and quickly wiped her eyes with her fingertips.

“About a year and a half into it, something happened that made me wake up. One of my coworkers brought in a young orphan child. From there, I started to try to distance myself from the others so I could run away. I was ready to do it about a month ago, but then your brother was brought in.” She pressed her lips together into a thin line as she grabbed the small clasp purse that sat off to the side and started to dig a little. It wasn’t long before she produced two small square sheets of paper and placed them in front of the blond. “I can tell that you’re skeptical of what I’m saying, and if I were in your place, I’d think I was crazy, too.” she laughed awkwardly before clasping her purse closed and placing it in her lap. “They’re photographs, but…they’re not going to be easy to look at.” Al swallowed and reached a shaky hand out to pick one of the photos up.

She was right, though, about him being skeptical. But then, who was he to doubt when he was once a soul bonded to a suit of armor? He picked one of the photos up and slowly turned it over. His breath caught in his throat when he saw that the photograph was of his brother lying unconscious in the center of a transmutation circle. His hair was down and splayed around him, and he wore what looked like a hospital gown. His automail leg was gone, and his real foot was just out of frame, but he could see a shadow of something, or a few somethings, lying on the ground just out of sight. He handed the picture to Khrista and slowly picked up the second photo. He turned it over, gasped in fear, and dropped it. The photo fluttered down until it rested against his untouched sandwich and continued to show him the image. Al glanced up at Khrista and saw the apologetic look on her face. Looking back at the photo, he knew it was Ed, but he wasn’t himself.

Al couldn’t see his brother’s face as he was curled into the fetal position, but instead of legs, he had what looked like a fish’s tail. Ed’s hair also hung loose and floated around him, and he noticed fins in the place where his ears should be. Horrified, Al looked up at Khrista and saw that she had taken her sunglasses off. She looked at him with apologetic, muted-blue eyes. “I yelled at Dante and told her that taking a child was going too far, but now she crossed a line that was now a dangled noose above our heads. To take someone as well known as your brother…because of my talking back, Dante forced me to help activate the circle,” she spoke softly before pulling something silver out of the purse and placing it between them. When she pulled her hand back, it was revealed to be a State Alchemist pocket watch. He didn’t even have to look closer to know it was Ed’s. Anger bubbled with him when he heard this. He wanted to lash out at her and yell at her.

“How dare you do this! He’s the only family I have left!”

“Forced? Yeah, like, I believe that! You said so yourself that you were addicted to creating chimeras!”

Al took a deep breath and tried to calm down. It wasn’t the time or place for that. “Does…” Al swallowed his worry and anger. “Does he know who he is still?” She nodded, and relief washed over him.

“From the eyes of an alchemist specializing in chimeras, he’s a wonder. From the eyes of a human, it’s a relief. His cognitive functions are normal, and he can still speak cohesively.” Al let out a humorless laugh.

“I bet you got to witness the full extent of his vocabulary when he woke up.” she nodded before taking the photographs back.

“I also know you’ve been trying to help my little sister try and find me.” Al looked at her in confusion before he realized why her eyes looked so familiar. “Please just tell Claus that I’m fine and I'll be home soon.” he nodded before scooting his chair closer to the table, resting his crossed arms on it.

“So, what’s the plan to break him out?”

…

Ed sighed as he sat in the dark corner of his watery prison. His tail was pressed against his chest, and his arms were wrapped around it. He rhythmically tapped the back of his head against the glass that held him captive. His tank was massive, and he thought it could easily hold a whale, but there wouldn’t be enough room for the whale to swim around. There were only so many times he could swim around in a circle.

He knew he wouldn’t get any sleep thanks to the scientists and their tests. They always knock him out when it comes to tests that require him to be out of the tank. They knew he’d try to fight them. Then again, Ed couldn’t remember the last time he did get a good full night's sleep. It was long before he was brought here, that’s for sure. He sighed and continued to tap his head while thinking, “How many times can I do this before I get brain damage?” and “How hard should I hit my head so I knock myself out?”

A short amount of time passed, and Ed was actually starting to feel a little sleepy, but that was startled away when a massive crash and splash happened above him. Looking up, he saw clumps of dirt and rock raining down from the ceiling above him and into his tank. Thinking fast and not wanting to be crushed, he pushed himself off the ground and quickly swam for safety.

As he was about to reach a hollowed rock he had been using as a hideaway, he heard a gurgling yelp, and it caused him to stop. Looking toward the sound, he saw a familiar shape pinned under a boulder twice their size at the bottom of his tank.

”Who…?” Ed breathed before reaching the figure. It wasn’t until he fully saw the shape and felt his heart drop. “Alphonse!” Ed cried out before propelling himself to his little brother’s aid.

Upon reaching the younger blond’s side, Al clapped his hands and placed them against the rock. Alchemic sparks danced around them before the boulder crumbled to pieces. Ed quickly cleared what was still on his brother before wrapping his arms around Al’s torso and pushing them toward the surface as fast as he could.

Ed only took a few moments to reach and break the water's surface, with Al following right behind. As Al coughed the water from his lungs, Ed couldn’t help the wide, excited grin spread across his face. “Al!” his voice shook as he pulled his little brother close and hugged him. Al coughed a few more times before laughing and returning the hug.

“You’re making it seem like I was the one who’s been missing for a month.” They separated, and Ed continued to grin like a fool as he placed his hands on either side of Al’s head and made his little brother look at him.

“You were just drowning, dumbass!” Al laughed again, but the younger teen’s smile soon faded, and he was no longer looking at his brother’s eyes but his mouth. Ed’s smile quickly vanished when he realized what Al was looking at. He covered his mouth with one of his hands while putting a little distance between them, scared of what his brother would think. But that only gave his brother more to gawk at.

“Your teeth…and hands…” Ed was about to dive to hide, but Al grabbed his arm. “I already knew you were a chimera, Brother.” Ed gasped and looked back at the younger teen.

“How…?”

“Well,” Al let go of his brother and tried to place his hands on the sides of his head but had difficulty staying upright and above the water. All he needed was his tail to keep above the water, so Ed reached out and grabbed his brother’s arms to keep him steady. “These are a dead giveaway.” the older blond then realized that Al was mimicking the fins on the sides of his head. While giving his brother an unamused look, he let go and let Al drop a little. Not expecting the sudden loss of support, the younger teen got a mouth and nose full of water as his head briefly dipped below the surface. Al quickly pushed himself back up and treaded water while coughing and blowing out the water from his nose. “Also,” he started again, pushing his wet hair out of his face and wiping the water from his eyes, “one of the scientists told me.” Ed looked at his brother in disbelief.

“You’re trusting one of them?”

“I’m trusting her as far as I can throw her.” Ed clenched his jaw and let a sigh out his nose.

“What’s her name?”

“Khrista Bowmont. She sent me a letter, and we met-”

“Wait!” Ed cut him off as he heard the name. “I’ll be right back!” He pointed to a ledge with a door behind it for his brother to get out before diving back down. He swam to his hollowed rock and grabbed the alchemy book that had been dropped into his tank shortly after waking up. Like before, it didn’t take him long to reach the surface, and he found Al sitting on the edge, feet and shins still dangling in the water, with his t-shirt off. He was wringing it as Ed swam closer. Just before reaching his brother, he noticed movement from the corner of his eye. Looking toward it, he saw a rope dangling from a hole in the now-destroyed ceiling and floating on the water's surface. “How the hell did you do all that, Al?”

“Um…” the younger blond hummed as he looked up at the chaos he brought, “I was making the hole as I went down, and I didn’t realize how unstable it all was.” Having followed Al’s gaze, Ed looked back to see his brother smiling sheepishly. The former alchemist shook his head and resumed his swim toward his brother.

Upon reaching the edge, Ed pulled himself up enough to where his tail was still submerged, but his torso was out of the water, and he used his arms to keep himself perched like that next to his brother. “Not long after I first woke up here, this was dropped into the tank.” He handed the book to his brother. After putting his damp shirt back on, Al took it and immediately noticed how it felt different from a normal book. “I know, right? I think someone used alchemy to make it waterproof. But that’s not the important part.” while Al still held it, Ed lifted the cover to show the note on the inside.

“Keep this hidden so Dante doesn’t know I gave it to you. Khris B.” Al read aloud before falling silent for a moment. He then put the book off to the side before pulling out a soaked folded piece of paper. After quickly drying it with alchemy, Al unfolded it, turned the book back toward Ed, and held his note next to the one in the book. Ed compared the handwriting and came to the same conclusion as his brother.

“They’re the same.”

“I think she’s been trying to help from the beginning.”

“Well, she can help by giving me my legs back,” Ed mumbled before dropping back into the water.

“She intends to do that, but we must get you out of here first.” Al stood up, used alchemy to dry his clothes, and looked back at the door. “Do you know what's behind this door?”

“Oh yeah, I’ve had time to get out and look around. It’s just sunshine and rainbows in there.” Al unamusedly looked back at his brother while Ed flicked some water at him with the tip of his tail. Al rolled his eyes before looking back at the door and tried to turn the handle, but he found it locked. “Wouldn’t be surprised if they really thought I would try to leave.”

“Did you?” Al asked as he clapped his hands.

“I tried to get up there, but this damn tail is heavy and awkward, so I can’t swing it up there like I would if I had legs. What I did before is a bit easier since the tail is still in the water.” Al hummed before he placed his hands on the door next to the hand and made a hole large enough for him to stick his arm through. Doing so, he felt around for a few moments before they both heard a soft click. Ed saw his brother grin a little as he pulled his arm back, fixed the door, and opened it. “How the hell do you plan on getting me out anyway?” Ed called out as Al flicked on the light and entered the room.

“Well, I was initially going to carry you, but if your tail is really that heavy…maybe a cart or…” Al fell silent before running out of view.

“Al?” Ed called out before pulling himself up onto the ledge again. “Alphonse?” He tried to look into the room but could only see wetsuits lining the far wall. “Al!” Ed called out again.

“Brother!” the older blond gasped before sighing with relief as Al stepped back into the doorway with an excited smile. “There's stuff in here that I don't think you can see, but I think I can make a-a harness or something with the stuff in here!” Ed was unsure about the idea, but before he could voice his opinion, he froze when he heard voices coming from close by and getting closer.

“Al, hide!” Ed hissed before dropping back into the water.

“What? Broth-?”

“Just do it, Alphonse!” Ed commanded, careful not to be too loud, and then dove into his tank. As he reached the bottom, he saw Dante and a couple of her cronies marching up to him. She looked so furious as she scribbled something onto a notepad. She turned it around, and he read the message.

“What the hell happened in here?!” feigning innocence, Ed shrugged. “That’s bullshit!” she hissed, not knowing that he could actually hear her. “Follow me; we need to get to the dive room!” she commanded before turning on her heels and marched out with her cronies right on her heels. Worried, he returned to the surface and called for his brother. “Al, whatever you have planned, do it now! We have company coming up!” after hearing his brother run around the room for about a minute before he came barrelling out with his arms full of stuff. He dumped it onto the ground before turning back and clapping his hands. Placing them on the wall next to the door, he used alchemy to erase the door. “That’s only going to stop them for so long, Al! Most, if not all, of them are an alchemist of some sort!”

“And I just need a minute or two to figure out what I’m going to do here!” Al spoke back before crouching next to his mess. As the younger teen arranged his things, Ed listened as Dante’s annoying voice gradually grew closer and closer. “Come on, Al!” Ed muttered through clenched teeth as his eyes flicked from his brother to where the door was. His tail twitched anxiously as the hurried footsteps grew closer and closer, and soon another door opened.

“What did he do to the door?!” Dante now shrieked from the other side. Before Ed could say anything, Al clapped his hands and placed them on his mess. Sparks danced around the younger blond, and it wasn’t long before he stood and held up what looked like a tangle of straps.

“What the hell is that?!” Ed exclaimed as he watched Al put the thing on.

“Hopefully, a way to get you out,” he said as he tightened the straps on his shoulders. Al then took a deep breath and dove back into the tank. Ed waited for Al to resurface but quickly noticed that his brother was swimming straight down.

“Carve the circle faster!” with an annoyed groan, Ed dove under and quickly caught up with Al.

“What are you doing?” he knew his brother couldn’t clearly hear him, but he seemed to understand. Al pointed to the bottom, and Ed let out a sigh. “You’re insane!” He wrapped his arms around Al’s torso and quickly brought them both to the bottom of his tank. Al clapped his hands and placed them on the sand below them. Sparks danced, and a platform formed beneath them. It caught the brothers and quickly carried them upward.

They broke through the surface faster than Ed could swim. The blond chimera quickly grabbed the rope as the rose so his brother could focus on his transmutation. Just as they were about to reach the hole, Dante and her cronies broke through, and the last glimpse they saw of Ed was him giving them the middle finger while he bore his teeth in a snarky grin.

~*~

Al had brought them up several more feet before stopping. Sitting behind his brother, Ed couldn’t see his face, but he could tell that the younger teen was hunched over and his head hung in front of him. “Are you okay, Al?” Ed asked softly, clearly hearing his brother panting quietly.

“Yeah…yeah, I’ll be fine. Just…a lot of alchemy in a very short amount of time, and holding my breath underwater didn’t help much either.” Ed sighed quietly and gently patted the alchemist’s arm before resting his forehead on his shoulder.

”Don’t worry, Al, take your time.” Ed whispered. They were quiet, except for Al’s panting, for a few moments before Al shifted slightly. Ed moved his head and saw his brother looking at him curiously.

”So…you can talk underwater?”

”Seriously? Now? When we’re at the bottom of a hole?” Ed countered, unable to hide the laughter in his voice.

”Yes! I’m curious! You’re…you’re the first aquatic chimera either of us have seen!”

”Fine, yes, I can more or less talk underwater. Which is honestly useless when no one else is underwater nor can really hear me.” Al nodded in agreement. “My night vision is a lot better, though.”

”Really? How so?”

”Well, it’s-“The ground beneath suddenly jerked, and they quickly rose again. Fear rose in Ed’s as the mouth of the hole grew closer and closer. He knew what they’d do to him, just drop him back into the tank, but Al? They’d probably curse him like they had done to his older brother. That was the last thing Ed wanted. If either of them had to have a cursed body again, Ed would want it to be him and only him this time around. Alchemic sparks danced around them a few times, and within a few minutes, they were face to face with a woman with black pixie-cut hair and muted-blue eyes.

”What the hell took you two so long?” she asked as she gathered the cloth with a transmutation circle on it and stood up.

“I’m sorry that I haven’t seen my brother in over a month and have been worried sick about him, Khrista,” Al said with a roll of his eyes, which caused Ed to chuckle. Distracted by his brother, Ed didn’t notice the woman getting closer to him before it was too late, and she was touching his forehead.

”Hey, don’t touch me!” he snapped before shoving her hand away.

”Easy, Edward! I understand that you don’t trust me, but out of the three of us, I know the most about your current makeup.” she said calmly while holding her hands up to show that she was unarmed. Ed glared at her as she crossed her arms under her chest. “We can’t let him get too dry. There’s-“ she stopped when Ed’s head quickly whipped around in a direction and listened to a sound that the other two couldn’t hear. It was a mixture of alchemic sparks and metal grinding against metal. “Okay, double time!” She breathed as she crouched next to them and had Al turn around. “About a mile, maybe two, east of here is a small river.”

”I know it.” Al said as Khrista helped strap Ed into the homemade harness. The Chimera’s right hip rested on his brother's back while most of his tail hung to the left and was close to dragging on the ground.

“Good. I hid a large towel there in an old tree stump. It’s gonna be uncomfortable for you, Alphonse, but it's soaking wet, and then wrap it around the both of you. This will keep your brother wet and hidden if you need to go through town.” She helped Al stand and keep his balance under Ed’s weight. “Get there as fast as you can, stay out of sight, and keep him wet!” She then started to make her way to where Ed heard the noise.

”What about you?” Al called out.

”I found you before; I’ll find you again.” She said without looking back. She stepped into the forest and brush and vanished, leaving the brothers alone.

”We should get going, Al.” Ed whispered as he wrapped his arms around Al’s neck. The younger teen nodded, held the end of Ed’s tail to prevent it from dragging on the ground, and began the shortish trek.

”You do know how weird this is, right?” There was laughter in Al’s voice as he spoke.

”Ugh, don’t remind me.” The chimera muttered as he rested his chin on Al’s head. Closing his eyes, Ed listened to the world around them, just grateful to be outside once more.

AAND we cut to naked julia eating an apple! slight bi panic

she’s touching the paperweight queen love it ♥

SHE KNOWS THE CLEMENS YAS!!! :D

julia: “i just know it!” BOI YOUR G-PA HELPED OUT

winston: “the only thing to do is to walk out of here before it’s too late” thus my ‘julia lives’ au comes in! :D

winston: “never seen one another again” ...oh he was talking about that NOT IN MY AU SON

julia: “you do, i do.” omg marriage :o

YAAAS JULSTON KISS!!!!!!! :D

fluffy! ♥

julia: “i love you.” awww :)

winston: “julia. do you think the resistance is real?” julia: “none of it’s real.” STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER!

♥

OMFG THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION :o

work is scrambling like eggs!

poor headache bby! :(

epic B)

winston’s dreaming of his bishy selfish chocolate mom adventure!

the rats were there when his mom and sister were vaporized! :o

she’s in the dress! ♥

they’re talking about betrayal and julia’s like ‘they can’t do that!” OH BOI BUT THEY CAN!!!!

julia: “they can’t get to your heart” aww :)

awkward...

winston sees o’brien WITHOUT JULIA THE F????

this feels like the principal’s office lol :D

o’brien’s voice is so deep and british ♥

the way he clutches the newspeak dictionary is so cute! :D

aww he’s stroking the pages as he reads :)

the oceania anthem sounds russian :o

YAAAAAAAASSSS!!!!!!! :D

so soft ♥♥

winston: “julia, my love.” MY LOVE MY LOVE AHHH!!!! :D

YEES THE COFFEE SMILEEE!!!!! :D

she’s hungry... she wants coffee... who’s gonna tell her coffee isn’t food?

omg i saw winston butt :o

winston: “she’s beautiful.” julia: “she’s a meter around the hips easily” winston: “that’s her standard of beauty.” YAAAS!!! :D

winston: “the future is ours.” YAS

OH CRAP THEY SAID ‘WE ARE THE DEAD’ NOOOO

mr. charington is loud compared to how i thought in the book

his ‘you are the dead’ should’ve been quieter like winston and julia’s then he could be loud!

FBI OPEN UP!!!!!

charrington: “here comes a candle to guide you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head!” OHHHH NICE ONE MR C!!!!!! :D

RIP TO A QUEEN :’(

i should be a bit more heartbroken BUT THAT MR C RHYME MAN

OMFG THEY JUST BEAT UP JULES

SHE’S IN SO MUCH PAIN NOOOO :’(

why does he look old

awww :(

delete the drunk old lady BUT GIVE US PARSONS SUUURE

i dread the scene to come...

parsons didn’t say that he said ‘down with big brother’ so that’s a bummer :/

aww poor parsons he’s crying! :(

oh SNAP room 101!!!! :o

poor parsons but at least that scene wasn’t a thing!

OUCH THAT SMACC LOOKED LIKE IT HURT

is this leading into the bloody mouth scene? I STILL NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS

winston doesn’t know where he is IT’S THE I WANT YOU VALLEY!!!

hold up this is just a vision ok BUT WHERE’S THE BLOODY MOUTH SCENE

frankenstein and spirit halloween called!

also o’brien flipped the switch without warning BISH

o’brien: “you suffer from a defective memory” and you suffer from a BISH MEMORY SIR

remember winston it’s all in the mind... ;)

WHY DID O’BRIEN SHOCK WINSTON HE SAID FIVE

'how many fingers’ is a trick question because winston sees four YET WE SEE FIVE OHHH

mother gothel vibes...

awww winston’s little scared squeak :(

winston: “i don’t know... i don’t know!” SAY FIVE WINSTON SAY FIVEEEEE

o’brien’s voice is so calming yet it spouts evil words...

julia immediately betrayed winston BECAUSE SHE HAD A ROSEMARY KENNEDY yet she’s somehow still alive without damage by the end???

ooh a new shot! :D

they just faded to black and showed a new angle which is a bit weird...

o’brien: “you’re thinking that my face is old and tired...” because it belongs to poor richard burton!

o’brien just yoinked winston’s tooth out tho :o

mother gothel strikes again!

winston to o’brien: “i love you.” you don’t say that back to jules YET YOU SAY IT TO O’BRIEN BOIIIII

o’brien: “you’re one of us. one of the chosen.” one of us gooble gobble! also ANAKIN IS THAT YOU????

winston just said ‘i love you’ oMG OMG OM WAIT WWAIIITIT

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

seconds after she says ‘i love you too’ SHE’S FREAKING SHOT DAAANG NO PUNCHES PULLED BACK!!!!!

aww he called her ‘my love’ even in a dream

so that was the infamous bloody mouth scene and it was quicker than i thought it would be? at least i have a bright julia smile! ♥

OMG winston’s calling for her yet it sounds so weird WHYYY

he’s much improved!

they’re skyping lol

after all he’s been through he still hates bb! :o

ROOM 101 :o

room 101 is a personalized experience just for you! :D

also IT’S A DREAM MIRROR

omg the rats are GOING AT EACH OTHER GEEZ

winston’s squeak at the rats no!!! :(

‘do it to julia’ sounds a bit selfish but it’s the betrayal we’ve been waiting for!

...NOT

uh oh here comes the awkward reunion...

they should’ve said “...sup.” to each other

the bartender saying “on the house!’ tiredly each time is great :D

winston: “thank you for coming.” julia in her thoughts: “yeah whateves bro.” :/

at least they can still bond over something :)

jules gin time ;)

they ratted out on each other true love???

julia: “we must meet again.” winston: “yes, we must meet again.” ...they never met again

but if they did it would be a bro time!

winston: “i have seduced party members of both sexes” BI NANI???? :o

since his crimes are like the guy’s from earlier... what if he didn’t do them and was convinced that he did? :o

in the book he says i love you to bb, but here he turns away and says it... what if he still loves julia? :o

and with that question, the movie has come to a close! it’s a fantastic little film that closely follows the book. while i would’ve liked to see julia with winston at o’brien’s and the drunk jail lady, the cutting of the gross parsons scene, the addtion of the bloody mouth scene and the possibly hopeful ending make up for it. overall, this is an amazing adaptation of such a great book! :D

#livewatch #i bet this is just as good as the book! :D
