never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

This thread lives rent free in my brain. And randomly came across my FB feed so of course I had to dig it up out of my Tumblr to share what fb shared.

every time i hear people talk about how rain and mildly warm temperatures is "awful weather" and temperatures in the thirties with no rain for a week is "nice" i feel like i'm in a particularly fucked-up twilight zone episode

First season of FMA:B is actually unreasonably funny because every episode at the 2 minute mark Ed goes “remember Al we can’t let anyone know our bodies are metal and we committed human transmutation. Because the military will probably execute us” and then every episode at the 14 minute mark Ed is screaming at the top of his lungs about how he and Al are made of metal and committed human transmutation. And also the President of the Military is there smiling and nodding and not giving a fuck because Ed is the military’s specialist little boy and he’s expressly permitted to commit murder in the streets and do arson and treason and tax evasion if he’s got enough hands for it and that’s completely fine because, as previously stated, he’s their specialist little sacrifice boy.

And also the military already knows he committed human transmutation and they think that’s really really great. It’s their favorite Edward Elric fun fact.

@redrobin-detective it is in fact a really great subversion of the “teenage protagonist successfully has the Adult Institution scrambling and fumbling, due to his cunning teenage wiles.” Ed DOES fancy himself cunning, but he’s literally only getting away with this because Bradley Is Letting Him. For the first several seasons they’re just letting him.

In the arc leading up to the Promised Day when all cards are out on the table, adult military strategist Roy Mustang is leading a charge against the establishment while Ed has faked his death and gone into hiding as, genuinely, the only thing he’s capable of doing on his own as a naive and scared 16 year old just trying to survive.

'on his own' even then he's being babysat by two chimeras and a homunculus + prince having a custody dispute over a teenage body! And before then half the time Mustang is lobbing problems at Ed like enrichment in their enclosure, or Armstrong, Ross, Brosh and Hughes are keeping an eye on him - he is regularly on his own in the field or when he's going rogue to be a curious little shit, but there's very often the hand of an adult present! Even several! It takes a village to raise a smartass child soldier and his brother 💕

(It's also really fun once the gloves come off and Bradley goes 'okay your special little boy privileges are revoked. That includes you Mustang btw I'm taking your toys away'. Timeout for naughty disruptive scientist-magician-soldiers.)

#he IS a special little boy it's true #like he has to be there because of Plot and Family and being a unreasonably strong fighter #but if all that wasn't true you KNOW mustang would have send him to xing to come back when it's all settled #fma #edward elric

We don't talk enough about how Desscaras forced everyone's hand by signing the mentor-pupil blood contract. Like the other witches seemed distressed by the news that Ichi would likely have to die, but from their perspective Ichi is like...a fun anomaly. He has no family and no connections. He's not properly trained. He has no sense of the future and only cares about hunting. Ichi dying to take out the world-hater majik is a total non-issue in the grand scheme of things. They lose nothing. Easiest trolley problem ever.

Honestly with what we've learned about Jikishirone in the most recent arc, I'd say she gave this little speech specifically because she knew it was going through everyone's heads and she wanted them to confront the thought fully. Monegold gets angry about it, and I don't think Monegold is necessarily a bad person, but she does have to think about things in a broader "what's good for everyone" stance as the leader of the association.

And then this absolute madwoman Desscaras turns around like "oh, you thought you wouldn't lose anything by relying on your easy sacrifice? Well now if he dies, so does your #1 best witch ever." She literally took the option away from them. She's decided that she didn't want to rely on a kid's death to save the world, and now she's made it clear to the higher-ups that they ALSO can't do that unless they want to lose her. Save her kid or watch your association crumble. She's so right she really is the greatest of all time.
