FMA Headcanons:

A List of My Headcanons for Edward Elric: Full Throttle Edition!

What I mean by the subtitle, is what I think happened in the parts of the story, between, that weren't shown. Like what happened during their travels and locations they went too or things they did that are NOT in canon

Share your thoughts if you share any Headcanons with me or have any ideas to expand upon these, because I feel these are topics and ideas that are so interesting to ponder!

Onto the List!

(I'm adding a break cause this post is VERY wordy~)

The precursor to the rest to "set the scene":

HC 1 - Ed does NOT have a sexist or elitist bone in his little body!

This is something EVERYONE knows about him. Given the plethora of female role models in his entire life, he grows to respect and/or fear women. He treats everyone equally and bases his opinion on them based on their actions.

As well as despite having a fat pocket full of cash because of his status, it never goes to his head. He happily gives his money to those that help him. He sometimes uses his status to get what he wants, but not always for selfish reasons. It's usually to help his cause or someone else.

HC 2 - Edward wore Winry's clothes when he was hiding out in Resembool waiting for her and Al.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but these boys burned EVERYTHING they owned. Maybe except for what Ed carries with him in his trunk, whereever that thing may be on the regular basis no one knows. But! I'd like to believe that after the incident and the time skip, Ed most likely didn't have ANY of his original belongings, right? I mean yeah, he could go to fabric stores and transmute himself some stuff while passing towns. At the same time, he probably couldnt just walk into a store or town very often for fear of being recognized because of being a fugitive at the time. He could always have his big strong body guards go get him clothes, but they don't understand his style, so he wouldn't ask, right? Besides, what's the fun in that?

I believe, that while he was waiting in Resembool and Pinako told him to go take a shower, because imagine how dirty and stinky they'd be traveling in the forest and by night for days?? I feel she would've given him Winry's clothes, to change into.

And you can very well argue 'His clothes look like they're made for men. They aren't women's clothes. They aren't the same size and Eds grown, they wouldn't fit!' Ah! But what if, he just transmutes them to better fit his shoulder width and leg length?

That's what's fun about this thought, he could very well still have clothes at the Rockbells and just transmutes them bigger when they don't fit by combining fabrics. But if he did in fact burn everything he owned in the fire, he'd have to use something for material for clothes when he's under the radar.

But if he didn't wear Winry's clothes, what do you think he grabbed to transmute himself some clothes while down in Resembool? If he doesn't transmute himself clothes in hiding, then what if he uses Pinako's sons old clothes or old clothes from hohenheim? Pinako's bound to have clothes laying around her house from all the boys running around.

HC 3 - Ed PREFERS his hair up (braided or tied) over down.

Okay, so hear me out....if you put aside the fact that he obviously wears it tied back for convenience purposes because of being very mobile and active. BUT! At the same time when you think about when Ed comes back after the time skip and he reads the note of the description they're looking for: Red coat, blonde w/braid, and short. And he says: "Guess I'm stuck with this look for now..." It makes me think:

Obviously, he cares about his looks, right? Not in a selfish way, but he cares about his appearance and he feels confident in his old red and black attire with his signature braid. But he can't have that right now because he'd be easy to spot.

So, Ed's OKAY with his hair being down, but only if he's not doing anything. As soon as they get caught and he's carried to the car, he puts his hair up. It would just get in the way.

But like I said, I believe, he just prefers it being up, especially when he's doing something. In this instance, since he cant braid it, he just puts it in a ponytail.

Which this preference for his braid makes sense later when he's fighting Pride, cause it's in a braid again. So he obviously feels he looks better with the braid.

But when he changes it to a ponytail when he's older is probably just for mature reasons so he looks older. Plus he's letting it grow, so it's harder for him to braid when it's much longer than his shoulders, so I feel he's just like 'Fuck it, ponytail it is!'

Before this post gets too long, I'll stop here and maybe make continuations as I think of them. Feel free to expand upon these ideas or tell me your ideas! I love delving deeper into character personalities and properties they have.

okay but like...as much as i love royai (and boy oh boy do i love it), just... queerplatonic roy and riza. 

riza, my aro queen, and roy, our bumbling mess. 

the best of friends, forever and ever, platonically sharing a bed as kids and awkwardly fumbling through their first kisses because they feel like they have to before finally deciding that it’s weird, love is weird, and they don’t need it. 

having all of their friends and family members try to push them together as they grow older, and maybe for looks they won’t deny it, they’ll let people imply and assume.

but really, they care for each other just as much as lovers could, but it’s all platonic. their love doesn’t need sexually physical affection. they soothe each others’ nightmares, share in each others’ victories, cling to each other after a particularly harrowing life or death situation. 

they understand each other more than anyone else could ever dare to. best friends. 

i just fucking love queerplatonic roy and riza so much 

[angel-bazethiel]

Listen. We all know and love royai being parental towards the Elric brothers. And, of course, they have their precious black and white pupper, Black Hayate.

Now! May I propose that their og adoptive son is actually bb Kain Fuery? 👀

[taiiiisa]

ed ends up being only two inches shorter than roy,,,

i want royed not seeing each other for like two years after the promised day and then ed just showing up, making roy get out of his desk chair, walking straight up to him and then just "TAKE UR SHORT JOKES AND SHOVE EM UP YOUR ASS, MUSTANG"

meanwhile a new subordinate that doesn't know ed is in the back, completely horrified at the insubordination, havoc and breda are laughing, riza is sighing

Here's a HC for ya'll:

Despite getting his arm back in the end, Edward has permanent nerve damage in his right arm.

Personal Headcanon

The yoeswell minors keep an eye on Ed. They follow any news on him in the papers and any info they can get from travelers. Even after he retires from the military. Especially Mr. Halling. They send Ed and Winry a wedding gift. They also somehow always manage to find out when they’ve had a kid and send along a present.

Youeswell is one of the places Ed takes his family to visit. He asks about the gifts (probably indirectly) and he minors joke about how Ed is kind of the honorary owner of the mine, “best one we ever had!”
