I honestly don’t understand how or why Ed hates milk. I love milk so much! I drink it about every day! So how can he not like it?
Has anyone ever done a spectrum that classifies anime protagonists by how much they like milk where the two extremes are Edward Elric, who never misses an occasion to voice his visceral hatred for milk, and Mob, who willingly let himself be "tricked" into a fight with a cult leader, who was also an evil spirit in disguise, only because in doing so he could drink three bottles of milk
banking off of childhood nostalgia
i just felt like drawing edward
ngl he was part of the reason I started growing my hair out again
how can someone with such great hair be so cranky?
After watching FMA03 and getting to see the glorious sight of Winry pick locks in a matter of seconds (as well as the empowering duo of Winry and Sheska), I absolutely delight in headcannoning that Edward has no idea that she can do any of her neat tricks. More than once on their trips Winry has shown herself to be true MVP by fixing busted up vehicles and rigging up devices to fix situations that Ed's fists won't fix. Cue a situation (that's 110% Ed's fault, thank you very much) in which Winry and Ed are being held captive, chains and all. Ed doesn't have his alchemy anymore so he can't just bust through the chains, and it's tearing him up that he's putting Winry through this, especially after what happened at Briggs, she must be so scared and-- Meanwhile off to the side, Winry has already wriggled her tools from her sleeves, picked her locks, and is currently delightfully going through the dangerous materials the bad guys so stupidly left for them beside a bunch of scrap metal. A matter of seconds later, Winry has busted a shellshocked Ed from his chains and is shoving him up the stairs, nervously yet gleefully laughing all the way. "Winry, what the hell is going on?" Ed splutters as Winry uses her bare hands, toughened by years of automail work, to rip boards from the wall to make their exit. "How'd you get out? What's the rush? What the fuck, Win?" Winry giggles. "The bombs about to go off Ed. We gotta go." "BOMB? What bo-!" (On that day Ed was reminded of how terrifyingly brilliant his wife was, and how glad he was she had never been his enemy.)
Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul.
Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of “men who stay still are boring”.
Disregard that Winry always supported Ed and Al’s decisions to travel because she knew how much they needed to get distance, and later supported it because she knew that they just wanted to see the world.
Disregard Winry instantly jumping on the chance to travel whenever offered, including yearly travelling to Rush Valley and a clear enjoyment of her trip north before everything went to shit.
Just know that Winry, seven months pregnant and struggling to get around, just starts shoving shit into suitcases cause there was a skirmish to the west that resulted in plenty of casualties, including amputees, and fuck if they don’t need the greatest automail mechanic there to help them out. Es gets a few words of protest in before unceremoniously getting thrown into the train, Winry eagerly jumping in behind him cause she’s needed elsewhere and nothing will slow her down, not even pregnancy.
Down the line, family trips are common. Only they aren’t trips into Central like most country folk take. No. The Elric-Rockbells are wanders at heart, and the people on the railroads know each of their faces intimately due to their yearly trips to Xing, and their constant roaming across the country offering automail and handyman services.
They miss home on the road, but wouldn’t give up on seeing the world for anything.
Okay so I just started watching FMA03 after finishing brotherhood, and while the plot line is one of the most clearest differences between the two, the characterisation is another distinct one. Namely that of Ed's characterisation. Don't get me wrong, he's still short, short-tempered about his shortness, and devious as hell. However, FMA03 really does emphasise how much of a kid he is, and with that comes a more....hmmmm...quieter charm to him? He is much more approachable and earnest to please than the other Ed, and one of the best results of this is his relationships with others. In Brotherhood, people remarked how his determination and loyalty earned him their respect, despite his shitty attitude. He also showed no interest in anyone but Winry, and no one showed interest in him bar her. Edwin will always be one of the best romances ever written, but it still is slightly unrealistic that not a single person Ed met his age didn't at least get a little crush on him. May doesn't count as when she actually met him she was severely unimpressed, but aside from her no one showed interest in this absolute golden beauty. That's when you jump to 03 and get your absolute fix of a wild range of teens meeting him and basically low key falling in love. Clause (who I firmly headcannon as gender fluid or non-binary, rather than brushed over as a cross dressing girl for no apparent reason??) is enraptured after she gets to know him, Rose is amazed by his bravery and perseverance, and Russell literally writes him the gayest note declaring he admires Ed. Basically, what I'm getting at is FMA03 gives us Ed the golden bisexual icon we all need. Amen.

The FMA:B sacred star movie is hilarious because Al, sweet and chivalrous Al, saves the beloved girl warrior of the valley and is almost immediately called a monster and captured. Meanwhile, Ed the absolute bastard rocks on down to the valley, makes mud monsters to capture the valley people, and then takes one as a prisoner at sword-point. Then almost instantly makes friends with his hostage and everyone else around him. Edward Elric is like a DnD lawful good character with an awful personality that somehow manages to get out of every bad situation from the unholy amount of points he's dumped into his charisma.
Me, at the start of FMA: B: oh man it’s so cool that Central is shaped like a transmutation circle. What a nifty little extra nod to alchemy by the designers.
Me, 30 eps later: OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO!!!!!
Ooof- What can i say? The Edward Elric vibes are intense
Me: I dont have a biased towards any character

Blond Children Tournament Pit
Step right up! Step right up! Welcome to the very first tournament hosted on this blog: The pit where you can throw in all those angry blond main character kids who need a break from their friendship driven brain!
Rules for candidates:
- Blond (white hair doesn’t count, sorry y’all)
- Main character or part of the main character crew
- Below the or of age of 16* — If we see their character as a child in their media enough to see a discernible personality, but they aren’t under 16 for a large part of their screentime, then that counts too.
- Traumatised and probably has anger issues from it
- Believes in the power of friendship more than they believe in their own worth
*For this I must need to specify on clones. Their age counts as how old they look physically, rather than how long they have physically existed for. So all Star Wars clones, who may have only existed for below or around 10 years, but physically look in their 20s, do not count. Clones who look physically below the or the age of 16, such as Omega from The Bad Batch or Hunter from The Owl House, do count.
There are 32 slots for this tournament, so get your child blorbo in before it’s all filled up! You are only allowed to enter in 1 (one) blorbo through comments or reblogs!
The deadline is in one week, so the 16th of June. Masterpost for this blog with further rules. Now: Begin!

Modern FMA:B has me grabbed by the neck, chocking.
So yes, expect at least one drawing of my modern AU

My hyperfixation shifted over to fma and I've got 34 h a week on ao3, it is probably mostly hp x fma crossover fics. The sad thing about this is that the fma fandom is basically dead😭 so there's not a lot of new stuff to see and I've burned through most of the fics that interest me and like rewatched more than half of the series😭😭😭💀💀💀
Inktober - Day 10
“A heart made full metal”
FMA brotherhood was one of those shows that took me forever to get around to watching, but it was well worth the wait!
Bradley, talking to Ed: you're a good kid Elric.
Mustang, talking to Al: yeah, it's too bad about your brother though..
Ed:
Al:
Fullmetal Alchemist set!~
Original fanart of Ed, Al and Greed/King from the animated series Full Metal Alchemist. If you haven't seen it, check it out! The characters belong to Hiromu Arakawa/it's rightful owner.
These were done January 2022 and I did these as suggestions on Instagram when I was stuck on what to draw and these were the most requested characters from the most voted fandom at the time! I like to think these show how I've improved and I'm not too keen on the Ed and Greed/Ling (not not 100% sure who this character is 😂) but still like the Al and that's okay! I think as artists we're allowed to not like our art now and again~ 😊
