Richie officiating the Sydcarmy union

Marcus and Tina are giving them away.

Richie is the pastor.

Jess is the witness.

#sydcarmy #the bear meta #even his lead in sounds like a pastor and that he's nervous and forgetting his speech #SYMBOLICALLY #LOL

This has probably been discussed to death before ... but what is the symbolism behind Envy having his Ouroboros tattoo on his thigh and Wrath on his eye?

It probably has, though tbh I've never really read any theories/meta about it.

I think some of the places are symbolically related in some way to the sin (Lust's on her cleavage, Gluttony's on his tongue), but I ALSO think that a bit of it is that every homunculus needed one in a visually distinct place and you're going to run out of places that have some kind of symbolic meaning.

I think Envy's is mostly a visual/aesthetic choice. The placement ties into their outfit design and is unique to them, but doesn't really have any deeper meaning (at least, that I can read into it.)

With Wrath, I think it's both unique AND makes for a fun visual reveal when we first see King Bradley's eyepatch removed.

I'm sure someone COULD read something more meaningful into it, but I honestly don't. I think it's more about visuals/the cool reveal.

But interesting question! Thanks for asking! :) If anyone else has some other thoughts, let me know

#this could go into a further discussion of how meaning in stories isn't always about symbolism #sometimes an intentional choice IS about how something works as a visual or in some other storytelling sense and not just #symbolically #but that's not because of your question that's bc it's a thought i keep nibbling on in fandom spaces as someone who was an english major #who also writes #I have a LOT to say about how meaning in storytelling isn't always about symbols #sometimes "oh this character looks so dramatic and interesting with an eyepatch and later on it's going #to get ripped off to reveal!!!! the tattoo“ is just as valid as ”oh it's on gluttony's tongue bc it symbolizes gluttony“#you know?#anyways left that in the tags bc it isn't exactly an answer to your question lol it's just my philosophy on storytelling #bc I will forever be an English Major lol #ask #fma meta

HAPPY ENJOLRAS' FIRST KISS DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

#Les Mis Letters #also F in the chat for Mabeuf #he found out what you gotta do to score with Enjolras #symbolically #and also literally #Grantaire take notes (he will)

I find it fascinating how Blitzø has gone from always calling it Stolas's " weird bird puss" to now consistently calling it a cloaca. Like before Blitzø would have lumped in Stolas's anatomy with the pussy category when he was in the cage, but now he is recognizing it as its own specific category that does not belong to the others.

It especially feels significant when remembering that when he was calling it Stolas's bird puss he was doing so with the added context that he was calling it weird. But now it's not weird it's just a part of his anatomy almost as if to say he no longer views Stolas himself as merely weird. He's just Stolas.

#theres something here I know it #im connecting dots #this could also be kinda cool if your an intersex viewer of the show maybe #symbolically #helluva boss #stolitz #blitzø #stolas

Also can i just say putting every character in their designated color with bold, vibrant shirts and then Will in plain gray stripes (often associated with heterosexuality) instead of his SIGNATURE YELLOW??

Everyone got to be the truest, most vibrant version of themselves while Will is diluted and never gets his happy ending. This is the most cruel and direct way to shove in our faces that Will was watered down and completely belittled/forgotten as a character.

I’ll never forgive what they did to him :/
