When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.

people killed: 0

direct orders of "you really really need to kill this guy" ignored: 1

ongoing murders being committed by Ed's own friends/colleagues that Ed got in the way of to specifically stop that murder from happening: 2

God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.

what's that one thing where they asked how ripely from alien was so realistic and believable as a female character in scifi for once and they were like "well we just took the dude from the original script and made him a girl and changed nothing else. it works bc men and women are the same?" and people were like "woah no way" and then didn't learn anything from that for 20 years

"how do you write such believable men as a woman?" "how do you write such believable women a man?" and the answer people who are good at it always give is "i just write people. were literally the exactly the same. do you think the opposite sex is some sorta totally different animal???" and people respond "woah that's wild. yea i do. and im not gonna stop thinking that goodbye :)"

#unfortunately i do think this take about ridley isnt as helpful as it appears because like #she may have been INITIALLY written with no particular gender in mind #but once she was cast and the camera started rolling #the story and camera is quite aware that shes a woman #and thats not even bringing up the sequels #so no unfortunately i dont think her character is like the pinnacle of gender neutral writing

She’s been sitting in my wips for so long but i had to finally release her out into the world because even unfinished she is very beautiful to me.

oh edward elric bleeding out and nearly dying impaled by a massive steel beam shaving pieces off his soul and years off his life because he chose not to kill the objectively worst guy he's ever met but he's just like. ah. if this is the price i have to pay for mercy i'm glad to pay it. 16 years old, unshakeable belief in the value of a life, shortest fuse in the world, mad as hell at all times, heart of gold for all of humanity. no one is doing it like him

I know I’m probably just speaking into the void with this one. But I think it’s important to maintain an ideology that’s kinder than you. I’d argue that’s the entire point, honestly.

Not fan art, just something that brings me joy

not to overwatch post but seeing the metal ranks freak out abt sierra is so fucking funny "she has an auto aim ability!!1!!1!" you have to hit a skill shot first I don’t think u have to be worried lmao

#fr just like…dont just stand out in the open #its not like it instantly blows you up you have plenty of time to step around a corner and play cover

Do I think the anran model update is perfect? No. The fact that they are so unwilling to experiment with different nose shapes on their female characters pisses me off endlessly.

But the fact that there are genuinely people who think they look exactly the same is worrying. Cause what do you mean you can’t tell the difference between a face model that’s clearly made to look young and round and one that actually looks like a young adult woman.

Even the subtle changes they went with are a massive improvement and make the original model look like an insane design to approve.

#and dont even get me started on how so many fan redesigns are still nothing like her character #but people will INSIST it looks better because its the type of older sister design they personally find attractive #yall are no better than the devs #overwatch #anran overwatch #ow
