“Marry someone who lets you have a bite of their pound of flesh, even when you said you weren’t hungry. Marry someone who laughs at the same sick and twisted jokes you do. Marry someone who offers you a drink of hot mulled wine from their skull goblet on a cold day. Marry someone who you can watch gory movies full of mayhem with. Marry someone who is proud of you whether you slaughter 5 villagers a week or 5,000 a week. Marry someone who you can tell everything to while being carried in a litter by manacled slaves. Marry someone who isn’t afraid or embarrassed to hold your hand in front of your minions. Marry someone who lets you take over when decorating a dungeon. Marry someone who you can spend the day on a battlefield with without feeling stressed. Marry someone who wraps you up inside their Cloak of Flaming Terror in the winter. Marry someone who personally seeks out and eliminates your fears and phobias, like killing all the hornets in the world with a genetically engineered virus. Marry someone who makes your uniform too tight every time you hear the guards’ salute outside the door. Marry someone who you don’t always have to wash off the bloodstains for. Marry someone who accepts you all day every day, even when your Death Ray isn’t working at its best. Marry someone who puts three preserved brains on your mantel, despite telling them “just the two”. Marry someone who doesn’t judge you when you eat your body weight in enemies’ livers. Marry someone who doesn’t make you want to check your radiation levels, because you know they will glow, too. Marry someone who waits for you to get in the escape pod as your headquarters explodes around you. Marry someone who understands that you need to be alone with your delusions of grandeur sometimes. Marry someone who gets on well with your henchmen and isn’t uptight about ordering them to seize hapless victims. Marry someone who calms you down when you get mad about the hero’s escape, and never tells you it’s “all your own fault for telling him the plan before killing him”. Marry someone who makes you want to be a better villain. Marry someone who makes you cackle wildly. Marry someone who you love to conduct horrible experiments with. Marry your nefarious soulmate, your lover of sabotage, your partner in interplanetary crime”

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

[millionsknives]

it had to be kimblee too. it's a necessary part of any hardline pacifist's story to come up against the worst guy ever and still choose principle. anyone less evil would have been worth risking his life for. kimblee wasn't worth it at all. still ed doesn't mind. a lesser story would have made this the turning point where ed learns that he should kill but nope, that's not who he is, this doesn't change anything, the value of a person does not change. he's gonna live with his decision. he knows kimblee's never gonna change he knows his mercy is wasted he knows everyone thinks he's stupid but it's the principle of the thing. and it's the outflow of the action. mercy won't save kimblee but it saved his 4 men. it's a beacon for miles. it saved winry. it can save scar. as soon as 1 person isn't worth it, none of us are because one is all and all is one.
