Just saying Sloths conflicted feeling about motherhood and how it ties them to their previous identity they no longer resonate with to the point of loathing Could be a trans allegory if you are enlightened 🤫

Thoughts on sloth and the elrics in 03 👀?

alright alright alright listen. what i think is so fascinating about the homunculi in 03 is that the line between "human" and "not human" is so goddamn blurred compared to bh.

By the end of the series, Al is a living Philosopher's stone, Ed is half automail and has absorbed untold amounts of red water, Archer is some weird general grievous abomination, and tucker is. well, whatever tucker is. The continuum of humanity is far more murky when it comes to someone that was born human and then altered- and this applies to the homunculi too!!

these homunculi don't just want to be human, they have human traits that they try their damndest to ignore!! the only thing wrath wants is a mother, though dante ties to beat it out of him over and over again. sloth keeps dealing with maternal feelings for him AND the elrics, and well, u know, she deals with those by trying to kill the elrics.

here's the thing from the elric end, and I saw something so similar with the shou tucker situation: ed starts to understand something's off with sloth really early. Like, really early. But he pushes it off and pushes it off, and when it finally comes to a head, ed's horrified, but he's not surprised. whereas, al is far more shocked by meeting the homunculi created by their failed human transmutation. The concept of something so horrible being allowed to exist- and what's more, being their fault- is something that takes ed a long, long time to grapple with, and he protects Al through it as much as possible. Until he can't anymore.

so then we have their confrontation, and i think sloth's final words to the boys are really the 03 homunculi thesis: "clean up after yourself; take care of each other." Ed is LITERALLY cleaning up after himself by killing sloth- he created her, and now he is destroying her. The homunculi are all results of crimes against nature, they all have to be "cleaned up", in a sense. And we know that the rest of 03 is about Ed facing the consequences of his actions and attempting to clean up after them. So we have this terribly grim first statement regarding the non-human nature of homunculi, followed by something far more human: take care of each other. Sloth is not human. But she retains human memories and human emotions and can look human, if she so chooses. and her last act before she dies (another human function!), is to tell the boys she remembers as her sons to look after one another. And fuck me if that isn't just the whole point of 03: to look after one another in the face of overwhelming tragedy and the seemingly chaotic apathy of the universe.
