Fullmetal Alchemist Canon

This is all 100% correct Fullmetal Alchemist meta. Don't @ me, I'm right.

stopped embarrassing myself and finally watched fma

something I wish I saw more in fandom is how ed literally recites the periodic table when he gets nervous/embarassed?? everyone knows winry is the one who can actually articulate her feelings, like when she realizes she loves ed she just accepts it off, vs ed who is emotionally constipated. sure he's a cocky little genius when it comes to things he's actually knowledgeable in, like alchemy, but when it comes to relationships or anything similar to that he gets so of his element he literally recites the periodic table!!!!! that's so cute. I'm tired of only seeing confident gremlin ed (still valid but c'mon) where's the ed who blushes entirely through his proposal without even saying the word marriage??? he made the whole thing about equivalent exchange and STILL could barely get the words out. he's a nerdy loser who has no idea how to handle his feelings and blushes at the smallest hints of romance, what a little nerd I love him.

sure totally, that sounds like character work for stories centered around Ed having romantic relationships as a teenager, but i don’t write teenage ed

Stop i’m getting involved. I’m thinking about it. Winry and Ed decided to get married at 18, immediately both fucked off for 2-3 years and did their own thing with minimal contact with each other, during which they made a lot of connections, developed themselves professionally and had A LOT of gay sex, usually under highly suboptimal circumstances. (Bc they’re good country boys and girls so they will not!!! Get pregnant before marriage!!) They both come back now 21, 22, slightly manic, very tan, lots of new gastrointestinal problems, Winry’s had two tetanus infections in the past two years from fucking around in car scrapyards and Ed’s still finishing his latest course of antimalarials, theyre both like omg hiiiii!!! And they’re so relieved to see a familiar face and be back home and get some stability after a very hectic and exciting couple of years that they’re like YES. YES. we’re DOING it. We’re getting MARRIED. We’re settling DOWN!!

and they do the deed, sign the papers, buy two separate properties in Central and Rush Valley because their work is consultant in nature and thus requires a LOT of travel as they’re still too unestablished and young to have clients travel to them. Especially winry’s clients, who often can’t travel due to being in hospitals, and ed’s clients, who often can’t travel due to being enormous pieces of infrastructure. So on the one hand it’s very easy for them to stay in love, because they barely live together and see each other on the kind of frequency basis and under circumstances that keep each encounter exciting and relieving, there’s simply no time for grinding interpersonal problems to develop. And then before they know six years have passed, Ed realizes he wants kids, Winry realizes she doesn’t, or at least not now, she’s having emotional infidelity due to having a business partner who understands your interests goals and needs so well they might as well be her own, they’re both traveling abroad more and more often as their reputations grow as fixers medical and alchemicoindustrial of problems nobody else can solve, Ed thinks he’s ready to settle down but can’t let go of the next big problem, Win knows for sure she’s not ready, she has sixteen medical conferences to present at this spring alone, her team’s got an artificial pulmonary system working, they’re partnering with clinical trials at two hospitals, this is gonna be huge -

- they realize they haven’t seen each other in eleven months and haven’t even tried to and are just like listen. This ain’t a marriage, this isn’t what we were brought up to recognize as a marriage, we’re friends, that’s what we are, and thus begins the amazing cavalcade of divorce proceedings that SHOULD be amicable - and technically are - were it not for the sheer amount of logistics and also Winry and Ed’s personalities

[silentwalrus1]

It’d be funnier if they do have kids actually. Like obviously they never even considered traditional schooling, it never served them any, and anyway they both travel so much - it’s fine! The kids can just go with mommy and daddy! And when mommy has a big research trip they can go with daddy! And obviously custody’s fifty fifty even before they start in on custody arrangements so you get winry / ed seeing their kids for the first time in 6 months (at the lawyer’s office) screaming YOU GAVE MY KID SMALLPOX? and ed yelling SHE GOT BETTER! YOU’RE ONE TO TALK, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO LITERALLY GOT OUR SON’S FINGER CHOPPED OFF - and winry goes OH my god, he SLAMMED THE DOOR ON HIS OWN HAND, HE WAS TWO, I SEWED IT BACK ON HE’S FINE, IT WASNT LIKE I ACTIVELY ENDANGERED HIM BY TAKING HIM INTO SOME DISEASE INFESTED WARZONE -

And meanwhile the five year old is trying to drink the lawyer’s inkwell and the two year old who has never used a toilet indoors is squatting peeing in the corner of the office and there’s press outside bc the infamous fullmetal alchemist was spotted back in town and there’s a police cordon being drawn up and the lawyer* is in his private exec bathroom eating just, handfuls of tums

*The lawyer is a young hotshot who thought the sr partners were rewarding him by letting him have this high profile straightforward amicable divorce case and realizes quite soon that no, he’s actually being punished for being an insufferable upstart snot who deserves to deal with other insufferable upstart snots, and makes the mistake early on of saying “do you actually want to get divorced?” Out loud to winry and ed in a slightly exasperated voice

[riza-hawks-eye]

Unproblematic fave Izumi Curtis was a talented alchemist that never joined the military and never had anything do to with Ishval.

She just minded her own business, being a housewife, killing bears, abandoning children on islands, performing human transmutation, etc.
