and what if i, the number1greedlingfan, said the APT art trend was perfect for edwin...
controversial opinion but i think roy, riza, gracia, ed, al, and winry wouldn't approve of elicia enlisting. that is if she even wanted to do it, which i don't think would be the case either. as far as she knows her father was killed by government conspiracy so
idk if she wanted to feel close to maes i don't think she'd become part of the very thing that killed him ?
i have this image in my head of winry piercing a very flustered and nervous ed's ears. like clutching his stupid leather pants at the knees, sitting ramrod straight, face entirely red, nervous. but god will not let me make it real
in my mind winry is more jacked than ed
someones probably done this before
Anonymous asked:
let's be honest, Winry is the breadwinner who's grinding hard day and night so that her trophy husband can keep his carefree wandering lifestyle and she loves every single bit of it.
REAL!!!!
Ed is such a househusband and he doesnt even know it. Hes not a good cook by any standards and he kind of hates doing it but like hell is he gonna let Winry burn herself out doing chores on top of working all-nighters. Whenever hes gone researching they both eat garbage (neither of them see a point in cooking for themselves)
saw a take a long time ago that was like "i hate edwin because winry ties ed down and i can't see him having romantic feelings for someone that doesn't relate to his sense of adventure and wanderlust" so im gonna break this down.
- "i hate edwin" -> personal opinion, valid
- "i can't see him having romantic feelings for someone because [x, y, z]" -> personal opinion, valid
- "winry ties him down and doesn't have a sense of adventure" -> debatable tbh 😭
one thing i personally really love about their relationship is that little bit at the end where winry expresses love and affection for ed not staying in one place. she says men that do are boring! so no, she doesn't tie him down and keep him captive with their relationship he is very much free to travel and she loves him for it.
two! winry (and granny) are supposed to be the elrics' home. they are the people and place the boys return to when they need to rest and have nowhere else to go!! ed, more than likely, loves coming home to her just as much as he loves to travel. shes his rock.
final thing that i feel is more debatable on my part: arakawa never says winry stays at home every time ed leaves. maybe she travels with him just like she used to when he was a state alchemist! maybe sometimes she just needs to get away from the shop and do a little tourism and hey, ed is literally going to creta in a few days to do more research. the world is your oyster
autism be damned i can cook

big number1greedlingfan post in the works
Headcanons that are meaningless to everyone but me (or extremely niche inside jokes formed by my friend group)
- Hawkeye finds pleasantries, mostly "hello"s and "goodbye"s, pointless and kind of annoying. She'll sometimes engage in them in person but never over the phone. She often hangs up while the other person is mid "bye".
- Havoc's "tried and true" opener on dates is that he prefers rainy weather because he, quote, "loves to curl up by the window with a good book and some tea". This is not only a bold-faced lie, but it hasn't helped him get past the first date so it's not any more effective than his other lines.
- Fuery pulls more women than Havoc does (not that there was any competition lmao) but he is somehow unaware of this.
- Mustang's singular hobby that he does purely for fun is building model ships. His only social interaction is with his coworkers because he does not have any other friends.
- Ed thinks Winry is cooped up in her shop all day and all night but that's literally only when he shows up because he DOES IT UNANNOUNCED!! Winry has a thriving social life both in Resembool and Rush Valley. She knows every single person in Resembool and keeps tabs on the neighbors. She's invited to dinners and group outings all the time. People mourned when she moved to RV. Within a month of working at Garfiel's, she'd already met most of the people on the street and she remembers most of their names.
- Because of her interests, it's often assumed that Winry is a "not like other girls" type but she is the exact opposite. If you say a single misogynistic thing about other girls' interests (like astrology or pop music) on a first date she is getting up and leaving.
- Ling is hypermobile and can bend his hands like this️ ⬇️ as well as do things like back bends and pulling his shoulders out of their sockets. When he was younger he would go up to literally anyone (family members, visiting officials, perfect strangers) and ask if they wanted to see him pull his shoulder out and then not wait for an answer.
- Ling's favorite fruit is mango. When he was seven he refused to eat anything but that and had so many that he threw up at a family function. (Mangos were ruined for him for two years.)
- Lan Fan does not get sick often but when she does It's Bad and she's taken out for a week or more. When she was younger and delirious with fever, she started distressedly mumbling that she was turning into a cookie. Nothing would convince her otherwise (Fu tried everything). In the end, they had to get Ling to help and he calmed her down in seconds by saying "there are no crumbs so I think you're probably okay".
- This is a small one: Lan Fan is on the ace spectrum.
- When Mei cooks for other people she makes it as cute as humanly possible. Everything that can have a smiley face or heart on it will. Side note, Al and Mei are 100% a couple that cooks together.
- Mei is a little bit fujopilled. You understand.
- While he seems shady as hell, Greed's rap sheet is actually pathetically small. The worst crime he's ever committed is, of course, the single instance of kidnapping that we saw on screen.
- Greed doesn't understand electricity. He thinks it's powered by electric eels ("eelectricity") and has numerous drawings in his diaries theorizing on the mechanics of these machines. Ex: A generator that has an eel tank with a water wheel inside of it. The drawing is accented with large arrows and question marks and "HOW DOES IT WORK"s. That being said! He's not stupid in all academics. Give this guy some numbers and put it in a financial context and he can calculate anything.
- Greed likes the "finer things" but he also has bad taste and sometimes these clash horribly. Is the furniture in his home expensive? Yes. Does any of it match in any conceivable way? Fuck no. Also that nice walnut hutch that cost 1.5K is used solely to display his novelty bong collection.
- Heinkel and Darius only became close and discovered the other was gay because of the Camping Trip. So,
"op ur mid au ideas are scaring the hoes" well im abt to be terrifying
2 words: stardew valley.
Ed and Al take the place of Haley and Emily in the sense that they're siblings in their twenties, they live together without parents, and Al is liked by everyone in town and Ed is uhhhh Not. Al would probably work at the Saloon like Emily does but isn't on his feet the whole time (he and Ed are still disabled-- Al has bad chronic pain and joint issues, Ed has a prosthetic leg.) I can see Ed being into photography the same way Haley is too.
Hohenheim is the father that returns randomly in year 3. Not much to say about that except that the town does not give him a warm reception on account of the whole abandoning your children thing. Maybe he fucks off soon after to live in the forest like the Wizard.
Pinako and Winry take Clint's place as the town blacksmiths because who needs that guy am I right. Winry's loved gifts would probably be raw materials and batteries.
Ling is like Elliott in that he lives on the beach and that is the end of the similarities. He has so much money (very obvious the way he talks about it) but he chooses to live in a repurposed fishing shack. In one of Ed's dialogues he speculates that Ling only lives there to scavenge for food like a seagull (he is right).
I think this goes without saying but Mustang would be the mayor. If you get enough hearts with him you get his tragic PTSD military backstory. I don't know what Hawkeye would be or where she would live in this situation, but I do know that she and Roy have the same weird secret relationship that Marnie and Lewis do.
