i feel like this kind of ruthless dialogue and overall putting edward in his place is what brotherhood missed out on tbh

Fma 03: We have Ishbalans calling out Ed on his racism and helping him relearn things he was told or brought up to believe. He has to learn that some of his thinking is harmful and wrong.

Fmab: we have one Ishvalan who’s basically a cop call Ed out 1 time but y'know #AllLivesMatter and Ed can never be racist cause he’s the good guy.

[video description: a video from Full Metal Alchemist (2003).

Alphonse Elric: “The Grand Arcane is… alchemy?” Edward Elric looking at Alphonse: “That can´t be, it is impossible.” The video first shows Edward looking shocked then the Ishbalan exile as he says “You don´t believe the Isblanans having no industrial society and living in the middle of the desert could posses such a knowledge as alchemy, isn´t that what you think?” The video shows Edwards shocked face again, then the Ishbalan, continuing: “Well, you wouldn´t be the first one to see different eyes and skin and turn yourself away. Who could possible believe this Other world could have the same depth in spirit as you.” Close up of Edwards face again, he looks shocked then away biting his lips. end video description]

One little detail I’ve always found so interesting about this scene, particularly the dub, is that the nature of this reveal actually offers Ed a possible ‘out’ to essentially ‘not be racist’ in his disbelief.

After all, one of the BIG recurring aspects of Ishbalan culture that both Ed and the audience have been repeatedly told of throughout the show is their staunch and vehement rejection of the practice of alchemy. Meaning that it is actually fairly reasonable that one might be in disbelief or least very surprised to learn that people in this culture would have such in-depth knowledge of this very advanced and complex form of alchemy, without assumptions or preconceptions on whether or not they could have such knowledge.

AND YET… Ed’s reaction makes clear that his assumption wasn’t something so benign, and that the Ishbalan exile was right on the money that Ed’s assumption wasn’t that Ishbalan’s 'wouldn’t’ have such knowledge of alchemy, but that they simply couldn’t.

tldr; The show basically went 'So we could have Ed get out of this conversation morally squeaky-clean… but we’re not actually going to do that and instead give out hero some actual serious FLAWS that he has to confront’

Three things:

I am glad that in 2026 I find out about twitter from tumblr.

I did not "dance around" the manic pixie dream girl. I sought to write books exposing the dangerous lie that a person is more than a person. The romanticization (mostly by boys) of the Romantic Other is extremely dangerous, and that was a central theme of my first two books. If people read them as MPDG books, then I failed at my first and most fundamental task and I'm sorry.

I did not build the hospital. Nerdfighteria paid for a hospital that Sierra Leoneans built. We paid for the hospital partly through Hank and I donating money, but mostly thanks to the thousands of people who pay for the hospital every month and my brother's stupid but brilliant idea to create Netflix For Socks.

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine

customer told me today that he no longer remembers his dead mother's face and that he wishes he still had dreams so he could see her again he also told me that he is currently raising two baby pigs he found at the bottom of a waterfall

You’ll now notice that none of those shovelware mobile game ads never have a Black main character. You’d think with so many of them this would happen incidentally or even occasionally, but you’d be wrong

[the-quasar-hero]

You’ll now notice that almost every video game that has character customization will always have the base character be white and use that model for the cover and promos for the game.

Thinking about 30-50 feral hogs again. Can you imagine the majesty. Murmurating like starlings. Elaborate emergent shapes. The deafening snuffling. They pass through a corn field leaving only rubble behind. And the danger! Don't get too close! It's electric. we have only begun to conceive of the hog

i started reading this book and kept tilting my head at the comparisons the author was using so i started a running list of them

this author's use of imagery is so questionable

This post is almost 11 years old now, so I feel like it’s time for an update:

[cheaphalloweencostume]

“everyone is mad at me and they just won’t tell me” —> “no one has said anything about being mad at me and i haven’t done anything to warrant being mad at so if someone is silently fuming about me and not saying anything that’s their problem and actually quite weird of them and i can effortlessly move on with my life”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

this took SUCH a huge deal of unlearning because, like so many of you, i came out of a home where being quietly in trouble WAS the default state, and i DID grow up not just with the assumption but borderline religious conviction that Everyone Is Mad At Me, I Am Bad, I Must Exist In A Constant State of Attempting to Pacify The Natural Rage I Inspire In Everyone. and no it actually turns out that my family are the freaks . and yours are too

[cheaphalloweencostume]

“this isn’t true because i DEFINITELY silently fume at people in the hopes they’ll figure out what they did and apologize” that’s not good. you shouldn’t do that

“this isn’t true because the ex-friendship that traumatized me ended explosively after they were mad at me and never told me why” that’s not good. they shouldn’t be doing that

“i don’t think this is true because my current friend group is constantly icing me out until i figure out what ive done to upset them and properly apologized without being told” hey thats not good. they should not be doing that

if the peacefulness of your relationship with someone (familial, romantic, friendly, anything) can be destroyed by effective communication/asking them for effective communication, you have got to get out of there. if you can’t get out of there, you’ve got to throw away any ideas about what that person thinks of you because they have their own shit to figure out before they can accurately read anyone else
