#using human beings as supplies/labor/props/means to an end #is always the most evil thing a character can do #in fma #from the ancient alchemist who bought/used hoenheim #to the ppl making philosopher stones and chimeras #to the way the gov uses soldiers (tags courtesy of @whystuck)

.

probably one of the reasons why i have only grown to love this series even more over time, in stark contrast to several other anime i got into around the same age. i think i could even use it as a springboard to justify why it's kind of good that Father is a kind of flat and generic villain. it allows him to be much more of a "force" or "catalyst" to highlight the evils and modalities of the political system, rather than a scapegoat as their engineer (comment courtesy of @marquis-lizbian)

.

Absolutely!!! 

We see again and again in FMA that people being used as resources, as disposable, as objects create the worst situations. This one, obviously, but others as well. 

The Ishvalan war is another big one - the senseless slaughter of so many civilians, and the impact on the army characters who are being forced to kill. 

Also all of the war veterans we see, who have a raw deal from the government after the war’s over.

The state alchemists, being forced to do research to kill and harm others. We later learn that they’re just there to be more potential food for the homunculi/the Promised Day.

Even in the first story arc with Father Cornello - all of those worshippers are being used and manipulated.

FMA wants us to treat people well, to think critically, to respect others, and to be anti-war. Also to drink more milk. (comment courtesy of @kailthia)

The real antagonist of Fullmetal Alchemist is the nameless Xerxian alchemist who bought a teenage boy to sweep his floors and then was like "hey, I'm going to take your blood to try to play god, you can't legally say no because I own you. If this, say, backfires horrifically in 20 years time, then I guess it's you and your descendants' problem since it's your blood lmao"

Have you heard of the book Spinning Silver? As a Jewish girl who essentially doesn’t exist in fantasy (except as a dwarf or goblin I guess), I’ve been really enjoying the fantasy with such a classic folklore feel to it but being able to see my own traditions and culture in YA next to magic and fae that actual feel like they’re from a fairy tale (not just super sexy magic people). It’s by Naomi Novik, a Jewish folklorist, and I’d recommend to anyone worn out by most fantasy these days

I’ve heard of it but it’s floating around the middle of my tbr list so I haven’t read it yet. Thank you! :)

@whystuck: #this is great#also i strongly suspect OP is autistic bc this reads exactly like how my brain tries to decode behavior

YES YEAH YEP TARGET AUDIENCE REACHED!!!!!!

How to win Dirty Laundry.

I'm no expert on lying or deduction, I just take this show pretty serious when I watch it, and I think the patterns to notice in this game offer a cool lens into interpersonal communication.

I. How to not catch liars. Liars largely aren't that spottable. Buckle in for this one: it's usually easier to eliminate ~3 honest people than to find one liar. Liars tend to be hyperaware of everything they do and end up doing nothing. Everyone's all too aware of the concept of tells, so here are some anti-tells that actually work.

The first to talk after hearing the secret read is a truth teller. Seriously. I can maybe count on one hand the number of times the liar spoke first, but everyone alllllllways ends up suspecting the first talker.

If someone unnecessarily implicates themself, they're likely a truth teller. For instance, giving a related anecdote is a strong anti-tell.

Truth tellers will dig deeper into the wording and theorizing cause they're actually trying to find a liar.

Less solidly, the biggest, flashiest accusers tend to be truth tellers. Liars try to fade into the background, so if someone is going ham on a theory--and not simply after they've been targeted--it's often someone unworried about the attention.

II. How to catch liars. There are somewhat tells. Sometimes. There are more in this list than the previous, but this is all less sure. The rest of your natural suspicions will help. The state I'm in when I get more things right is aware of my instincts but not reliant on them.

If everyone thinks someone's the liar, they're right.

Don't let anyone off the hook. Accuse for whatever reason, then see how they react.

Because liars usually act the same each time they lie--going quiet, going loud, accusing, double bluffing, whatever. My theory is people have a strong pre-built idea of what looks suspicious, so they won't be worried about lying the same way as last time as much as being suspicious at all.

Liars sometimes act ignorant and way overdo it. Like folks who say they're unaware of basic relevant world knowledge or fully skipped relevant life experience or just forgot the question. It's possible but it's suspicious.

There are some contestants who are just good liars. There usually aren't multiple in one episode (besides Lily and Grant, but it's safe to ignore them as a baseline). If someone fully outwits me on their first lie, especially by breaking any of the above patterns, and I have no suspects later, I'll just have to suspect them. Aabria Iyengar and Anna Garcia could sell me sand in a desert.

Not sure how the show's edited and how much of this is actually applicable to people in the game, but there's always some meta information for us to use. Everyone will get at least two secrets in the episode somewhere, usually no one will repeat until three distinct people have had a turn, often exactly three, they tend to space out each guest's secrets, and Lily and Grant will rarely appear early or be the episode's title. If someone's been on a previous season, they're probably not gonna bring anything crazier than then.

III. How to lie. Mostly chill out a little bit. Unless you're a trash liar.

Don't talk first. As stated above, you won't fool me, but there's less of me than people with the opposite belief.

Be the second to accuse someone. Everyone remembers the accused and the first accuser, but the quiet "oh yeah I could see X doing that" gives the theory a ton of validity while flying fully under the radar.

Don't say "I know it sounds like me, but this one's not me." (Even though truth-tellers and liars both say this all the time.) The best way to lose heat is to confidently say this couldn't ever have been me.

While you're doing so, make the justification very, very concise. Simple nonsense is more compelling than convoluted truth.

You do have to have good secrets. This is an entertainment product more than a competition, so the show will probably want the craziest story, but an uncharacteristic, mild secret will always fool more people than a buckwild but on-brand one.
