Forests in the Sky

characters recognising a doppelganger/evil twin/shapeshifting imposter because they know the original so well is such a good trope

extra sexy if they manage to trick them into saying or doing something the other would never do

a very self-indulgent idea i got after watching the last ep of fmab anime or “and there were two beds but they ignored it”

for me it's the forbidden love, the bodyguard trope, the childhood friends trope, the war comrades trope, it's the "everyone can see it," the "I know you better than anyone else," the "they're married™," it's the "we're both fucked up and I know it's hard to live, but you can't give up on living because I can't afford to lose you", it's the "he's an idiot, but he is my idiot" trope, it's the "I believed in your vision and entrusted you with my secret and you betrayed me", it's the "please, burn my secret from this world, you owe me at least that much", it's the "I haven't stopped believing in you despite everything you've done", it's the "I hate what we've done, I hate what we have become, but I will keep protecting you, I will keep pulling the trigger of my gun for you and for you only" and it's the "I trust you more than I trust myself and I want you by my side, but I want you to shoot me if I ever lose myself again", it's the "I have caused you pain again, please forgive me if you can", it's the "losing you is the worst thing I can imagine, but I am willing to let you die rather than betray you again", it's the "I've lost my sight, but if you are by my side I'm not blind", it's the -

I love royai because it's absolutely unhinged, it's like "I knew you since I was young and idealistic and knowing you kind of ruined my life and we've both done unforgivable things and we can't fix this but we can try to make sure these things never happen again and that we're punished for our crimes. We're working towards our own deaths but I will keep you safe until then, no matter what. Will you help me?" and this works from both of their points of view!!! Riza can't do this on her own, she needs Roy to succeed for her! Roy needs Riza to keep him in check, he needs to know that if he ever strays she'll kill him!! And somewhere along the way they've fallen in love 🥺🥺🥺I love them, they're insane for this 🥺🥺🥺

UU idk

the second one is based on -> this meem

love is not about staring at each other, but staring off in the same direction.

—i need the lieutenant to be my eyes.

“that dream… can i trust you with my back so that i can help it come true?”

I just want Roy and Riza to slow dance one time! at least one time!

#whoever made this: ill see you in hell #like how dare you put two images together like this

im gonna be honest "royai isn't canon because riza knew she'd get fridged if they fucked" is my personal favourite fma theory. nothing's gonna top it.

He made a promise once
