FMA requests are still open~

The request was to draw Ed shirtless in shorts, but I could not for the life of me picture him in adult, normal person shorts. Hes all leather and pants and tackiness and thats all good and fine, but I like to think that Winry doesn’t let him wear shorts because his only pair looks like this lololol

my infinite sexual appreciation of ed’s weirdass scars

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished…

And here are all the pretty soldier naval officers of your choice. With a bonus.

All of them were tweaked/cleaned up in some way or another. Some of the designs were reviewed/modified. I also tried to make their planet symbols on the… belt things a bit clearer.

See captions (full view) for details on what was done for each senshi. If you want to compare with/view the originals:

moon | mercury | venus | mars | jupiter | saturn | uranus | neptune | pluto

pure perfection!

#i love how fma #the real fma #sets up equivalent exchange as this whole giant thing that cannot be broken #this universal law of truth #and then uses the whole series as a way of deconstructing it #and it acknowledges that yes in life there will be pain and loss and sacrifice #but its like al said #you cant just sacrifice something and call it even #no you must continue living and learning and overcoming and maybe someday #you finally gain something irreplacable #ed and al set out to gain their bodies back #in the end they not only gained that but a whole network of support and friends and family #they beat the law of equivalent exchange by acknowledging that nothing is as important as the meaningful connections between people #ed gave up his alchemy in exchange for a world filled with people he is meaningfully connected to #and truth itself knows that is not even close to a fair trade because #you can never replace or exchange people that mean something to you #but all truth says is well done #you have beat the truth #you have beaten equivalent exchange #well done

9 episodes into my fma rewatch* and i’m already huddled in a ball whispering brotherssssss to myself. tho i didn’t rewatch episode 4 because ha ha are you kidding me.

and i still don’t like maes as a character SORRY SORRY I KNOW

But the thing that’s really getting to me is the buildup and callbacks to ishval through repeated phrases and images. UGH!!! it’s so great i can’t handle it. this show has so much to say about violence and power, it destroys me.

*it’s RESEARCH, okay.

Edward's Gate of Truth

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:43:42 -0500

liraelgoldhand:

Haha now I am thinking back on this conversation that crossed my dash and…

To be honest, I think part of the reason we would never see Ed or Al’s doors change in the context of the story is that their (most specifically Edward’s) relationship with alchemy, while undergoing a slow shift throughout the plot, does not reach another dramatic turning point until the very end: when Ed gives his up for the sake of his brother. Let me explain.

I feel like one of the most interesting things about Edward’s door is, despite all of his loud, up-front declarations that he is wholly an atheist, his Door of Truth is peppered with the various names of God. “Adonai” is front and center. While he does not believe in any sort of intervening, benevolent creator, his relationship with alchemy is one that demonstrates some of the characteristics people tend to associate with belief in God: first believing in the possibility of resurrection of the dead, then in supernatural healing. He seeks the Philosopher’s Stone, known in other legends as a tool for achieving everlasting life. Alchemy, for all intents and purposes, is what Ed looks to for his and his brother’s bodily salvation. It’s his God.

Eventually, over the course of the story, he comes to realize that alchemy cannot solve all of his problems. It has caused a great deal of pain throughout history and used for nefarious purposes. That source of “everlasting life” - where they expected their healing to come from - comes at the expense of all those who have been “damned” to create it.

FMA is strangely a story, albeit an unusual one, about the loss of faith - Ed’s faith in alchemy. (Which also happens to be a pretty blatant parallel of Rose Thomas’s story.)

And the turning point is when Ed trades his alchemy to save Alphonse. His Gate does change - by disappearing. Before that point, when it became absolutely necessary, the idea may have occurred to him, but that was the turning point when his relationship with alchemy changed irrevocably, and thus, so did his door.

(Last minute disclaimer: I know this argument is relying pretty heavily on Christian imagery and understanding of these symbols. It is indeed what I’m most familiar with. That said, I think a lot of that is very purposefully used in FMA, and very intentionally, despite the fact Christianity does not exist within that universe.)
