What I like about fma:b is that, while Ed and Al are certainly capable, they wouldn't have been able to do absolutely anything without the strategic genius of Mustang, and the support of the rest of the characters. So often in anime you get these characters who are unapologetically powerful and the adults are there for training, but apart from Izumi, none of them explicitly have that role. While Hawkeye provides a (kind of) motherly role, while Mustang is a superior officer interested in their development, while General Armstrong wants them to be better so they can be useful, even then the brother's improvement is left to them. It's by their own will that they became as powerful as they did, and that's a strong word because skill-wise in alchemy and combat, they're not that different from the start. Ed and Al are quite clearly not the masterminds behind their victory and while they are the reason they won the final-final battle, it's largely without their strength alone.

Ed and Al aren't walked through getting stronger. They don't even really have a training arc. The story isn't about who can obtain the most insanely showy powers, even with such a well thought-out and established magic system. It's about fighting for good and forging a better future. Alchemy is entwined in the storyline, yes, but it's limits are so clear and I think that's why I struggle to watch shonen anime now. I just can't stand the repetitive cycle of get better, fight stronger enemies, then get even more better and fight even stronger enemies. There's no end to that kind of story, and when it does inevitably end, it's on the basis that that cycle won't ever actually resolve itself.

nothing can break the bond between a friend who loves spoilers and a friend who just watched an amazing show and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

[demadogs]

alternatively: nothing can break the bond between a friend who doesnt read and a friend who just read an amazing book and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

nothing can break the bond between a friend who cannot and will not watch horror but is still interested and a friend who just watched an amazing horror movie and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

More context:

the first osprey is the father, the one that comes later is the mother.

ospreys are not eagles, they're ospreys

ospreys only eat fish, that's why they don't register this starling as possible food

the starling got home safely

the starling was not trying to eat the eggs, it was mostly curious and you can see it trying to hop under the osprey every time the osprey tries to sit down again--this is because the starling is still a baby and has the instinct to get under an adult for warmth, even though it mostly has its feathers. this scares the osprey because that is a Foreign Creature near its eggs.

at the end of the video you can see the ospreys starting to turn the eggs. birds do this so the yolk and/or embryo don't stick to the shell of the egg, which is bad for the egg's health.

ospreys have eyes adapted to seeing beneath the surface of the water!

When I was in grade school I used to send emails to biologists and zoologists asking them questions to get answers to include in school projects I was working on, and would cry when they did not respond because I thought I was stupid for thinking that some random kid would ever be deserving of a response from someone who does something as smart and cool and important as *checks notes* studies frog fungus.

Now, at 29, I’m lowkey having a panic attack because my academic email is filled with middle schoolers wanting me to answer their questions about pygmy raccoons and I keep putting off answering them because I’m so overwhelmed with all the other raccoon stuff I have to do.

Anyway, greatest apologies to any scientist I ever emailed as a child and also an adult.

[raccoonmilf]

I know your research is really important and I appreciate all you are doing but this is so fucking funny
