I think it's funny world-building how like, so at the center of Life we've got Water. Arguably The most important resource. Colorless transparent substance that molds to any container and we die without it and quickly. And all organic functions of society hinge on its availability. Could fight a ton of wars over this thing.

And well beyond organic life, modern society's great human invention is the Electronic Magic. Our greatest minds invented the Electronic Magic and it sends information around the world instantly. Our infrastructure our economy our modern life, minute by minute by minute, hinges on utilizing the great Lighting Technology.

BUT ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ DO NOT. DO NOT EVER. get the magical Elixir Substance of Life and Living and Healing, Water, IN the Electronic Device. The water keeps you alive critically but it KILLS the Electronic Device instantly and catastrophically. This Says something.

"Hohenheim wanted to be a good husband and father, but he had no choice but to leave his family in order to save not only them but the entire country and if Trisha hadn't died, he would have gone home afterwards and been a family with them again because he truly loved his wife and sons," and "Hohenheim was not there for his family when they needed him most, and Ed had every right to be bitter towards Hohenheim for leaving Trisha to die alone and making Ed and Al orphans, and Ed doesn't have to forgive the man who, from his perspective, abandoned them" are two sentiments that can and should coexist.

One of my favourite aspects of Agott's character is that she isn't a genius or a prodigy, actually. A lot of the time, a character like her would be naturally gifted, but we can see from the kinds of awful comments the people around her made that Agott was not "gifted" when compared with her mother or others in her family. And this means that every astute observation she makes, every light bulb that goes off in her head, every perfect sign and ring she draws is a result of the actual effort she put into her studies. Agott genuinely deserves the acclaim she gets from her peers because she works hard to be that good.

It's tragic that she feels the need to do so at all, but still, she's not the typical "snooty high-class girl who's so good at everything and berates the new girl for being beneath her", this is a girl who genuinely had to work her ass off to get to where she is seeing this new girl who got everything she worked so hard for with seemingly no effort. And it's really notable that even though Agott sets Coco up to fail and is unfairly harsh on her at the beginning, she never tries to outright sabotage her. She expects Coco to fail, but since Coco continues to pass based on her own merit, well, that's not something Agott can really argue against.

Agott being written like this makes Coco's admiration of her make a lot more sense, as Coco also constantly feels the need to prove herself out of guilt, and Agott is not just skilled, she puts 110% effort into everything to do with magic. It all builds nicely to her eventual apology. They're both really similar in that sense, and Agott reminding Coco to make magic for herself makes her dive back into the magic that she herself loved as well, independent from the notion of redemption and the imposition of expectations.

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
