accurate summary of their relationship
metisket replied to your post “Question to the FMA fandom. Did anyone ever really look and find out…”
I always assumed it was a time and/or broken automail issue. But I haven’t really analyzed this, & clearly someone should. XD Also I find Ed unduly hot AT ALL TIMES. It’s worrying.
I know right. I’ve been looking at him later in the story and his arms alone (well arm in his case, I guess^^)
I mean, I also always just assumed that’s why he sometimes has the braid and sometimes doesn’t, but man just the idea that he would only trust certain people to braid it… (I’m thinking also of your crazy!ed verse and depressing myself, because would he ever trust anyone to do that?)
Someone else pointed out that he braids it with the confrontation with hohenheim, because he doesn’t want to have the same hairstyle, which also begs the question why he doesn’t ever cut it.
Oh man. No, crazy!Ed wouldn’t trust anyone to braid his hair…except maybe Hawkeye, who would never offer, out of respect for his wacky boundary issues.
The good news is that Hughes would DO IT ANYWAY, and Ed would almost certainly not kill him for it. (Partly because Hughes would be continuously babbling about how this was practice for when Elysia got older and wanted her hair braided.) XD
Ed let his hair grow out in the first place during his automail surgery, but the fact that he kept it after that…I think it’s basically the same idea as the watch and the coat and the automail itself–he burned down his house, so he has to keep reminders of his history and his guilt somewhere else. And he decides to keep them all on his body. The hair is a reminder, I think, of the automail surgery and the rehab and everything he survived to get as far as he has. Like he can look in the mirror and think, “That’s how long my hair grew while I was putting myself through agonizing physical pain for the sake of my larger goals, and you know what? I SURVIVED THAT.”
That’s my guess. And if I’m right, it’s actually a point of Elric brother irony, because it was Ed’s idea to burn down their house, but Al is the one who carries nothing with him. <3 Elric brothers. You’re so crazy in such interesting ways.
“brother no”
— alphonse elric in every episode of fma (via godheadcomplex)
ishvalan elric brothers au??
WAIT WHAT THIS IS AMAZING.
So…would Scar be Ishbalan still? BECAUSE HOW HILARIOUS WOULD THAT BE. I would sort of feel bad for him. Wow, every single thing would be amazing and somehow even more terrible than canon, which I wouldn’t have thought possible. Holy embittered Ed, Batman. And if the Elrics’ relationship with Roy is fraught in canon, in this AU? HOLY CRAP.
On the other hand, the Elrics would totally have hung out with Scar’s brother and been deviant alchemists just like him. Would they have known all about his research? Would they have been MILES AND MILES ahead of Roy and team? Or would Scar and his brother just have swapped plot spots with the Elrics, in which case…haha I think my brain just shorted out.
I don’t even want fic of this; I want a whole damn manga of this. I don’t suppose there’s any way we could convince Arakawa that she should write a complete AU of her own series? ??? :D WE’D SEND YOU SO MANY COOKIES, ARAKAWA.
rewatching fma maybe

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.
other things I'm bitching about but which could still be useful as writing advice for 1 eyed characters:
2. they're going to favor their sighted side, obviously, but it doesn't always manifest in the way you think. when I walk down a hall I walk much closer to the wall on my sighted side than on my blind side. which is the opposite of how it might seem logical to do that bc it means the world at large is on your bad side, but the reason is I can't fucking See the wall if it's right next to me in the blind side and I end up knocking into it.
3. door frames and poles are my enemy. If your character is smart this will not be a problem but for me it is. I am King of walking into shit I could absolutely see but couldn't tell how far away from me it was. on this note, their blind side hand is getting bashed into every jutting out thing in a 5 mile radius.
4. having 0 depth perception is less of a big deal than you'd think it is. Especially with driving. I've become a Much safer and more wary driver because I can't tell how far the other cars are from me. however I fucking suck at parking now. because I can't tell how far the lines are from me either.
5. you know how people who lose limbs get phantom pains? that happens with eyes too but like. phantom sights. for me it's like. a lot of bugs. like every so often my brain will just put something suddenly skittering beside me there. hate that.
6. it is completely possible to "get stuck" somewhere because your ability to tell how wide a space is is just Gone. shopping isles especially where bumping something or Someone is matter of embarrassment or potentially breaking something. it can be legitimately paralyzing and also irritate everyone around you because they can tell there is Plenty of space for you to get your cart through even if you can't.
7. if the eye is still in their skull it can still be the normal kind of painful. Glares off of shiny surfaces causing weird sharp pains you can't figure out the cause of are genuinely one of gods greatest tests of my patience.
I too am missing my eye and have advice. But first:
OP I've been missing my eye for 18 years and because of you I'm just now noticing that my neck does in fact list left. Now I will live with that knowledge forever.
1) depth perception issues are more severe if you lose the eye on the same side as your dominant hand. I lost my left eye and am right handed, and only have problems with close-up things. Like pouring water or threading a needle. Sometimes putting the pump in for gas. Walking down stairs is a huge problem I have (walking up is fine), but unlike OP I don't have issues with doorways. Depth perception is different for everyone
2) I've completely lost my eye and need to wear eye patches, no fake eye here. People like me do still rub their "eyes." We also usually say "eyes" and "contacts." Except for comedic effect
3) the people that are in your life with regularity just... forget you have only one eye. Even if, like me, you wear obvious eye patches. This means they get confused when people asked what happened. They'll walk on your blind side and get snippy when you run into them. When my sister learned how to cross her eyes she ask me if I could do it, and it took so much coaching for her understand why my answer was no, and that I would not be "just trying." So don't write everyone around them constantly noticing. Most people don't
i’m gonna need this for when i write zoro’s POV ty for this OP
i have seen this discourse that o!Ciel hated Sebastian the dog and naming Sebastian the demon after him was done as some sort of malicious behavior.
but in my opinion it's not true at all, SEBASTIAN thought it was malicious and disrespectful
but I doubt that was the case for Ciel
o! Ciel was scared of the dog.
from Ciel's perspective Sebastian was mean to him and for no specific reason at that. he couldn't understand it.
but he didn't hate him
he even felt safer with him by his side! because he didn't hate him! he was just a uncomfortable and intimidated around him. the dog was almost twice his side, probably some sort of guard dog too.
so...
after establishing the terms of the contract with Sebastian the demon, which terms stated:
only after that, ciel named the demon: sebastian
so, in my humble opinion...
it was just simple similarity.
ciel was only ten at the time, it's something you could expect from a ten year old.
big, dark and scary.
doesn't it sound like someone we all know?
little finny and his newfound mom
There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can’t gain anything without losing something first. Although, if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle - a heart made fullmetal.
