everyone mark your calendars!! tomorrow is the annual “burn your childhood home down so you can never go back and leave on a long journey to get your brother’s body back because you committed the biggest taboo in alchemy and paid the price but all you really wanted was to see your mother again but now you realize dead people really can’t come back to life but there is still love and joy in the world” day!! :)
How does it feel to be the funniest/most horrifying person on this post
[ID: Seven images, three in the original post and one in the reply.
The first six are a comic. 1st, from the OP’s alt text - Link from the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, staring at Nina Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist. His eyes are huge; he looks baffled and afraid. 2nd – Link with his hand outstretched towards Nina Tucker. His arm is glowing bright teal, and a beam of teal light is starting to form on his palm. Nina is glowing orange. 3rd – The beam shoots from Link’s hand to Nina. She is now hovering and glowing teal. 4th - Nina shakes back and forth midair, with tears in her eyes. Link’s expression doesn’t change. 5th – The spell completes, and the teal beam from Link’s hand falls apart in a splatter of light. At the splatter, a white dog and a little girl in a yellow dress (Alexander and Nina Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist) fall to the ground, having been separated. 6th - Link from the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, smiling and giving a thumbs up to the viewer.
/ End of comic.
7th – Tags from someone’s reblog that say, “#what a wonderful coincidence this chimera was encountered by a strange man with markings on his arm".

happy pride :]

merry christmas @areyousanta!! 🎅🎄 i’m your @fmasecretsanta
hope you have a happy holiday period and have a blast! i wrote a wee fic for you, featuring the besties having a good time, relaxing, and enjoying themselves, as they should 🍻
The smell of food filled Madame Christmas’ bar, wafting through from the open door of the kitchen behind the counter. Voices travelled the length of the room, filled with laughter and cheer, as they chatted with one another and caught up with old friends.
Breda and Havoc sat on barstools as they nursed a beer in their hands. Havoc’s head was thrown back as he laughed – loudly. A full belly laugh, which had heads turning and smiling in amusement, unable to temper their own upon hearing the sound. He lifted a hand and slapped it down on Breda’s back affectionately as his friend laughed along with whatever joke they were in on. Fuery snickered as he stood beside them. He too had a beer in his hands which he took a swig of – however he hadn’t drank as much as the other two yet.
Falman was not drinking. He was driving his family back to their hotel after the party this evening. They’d arrived back in Central yesterday after travelling all day by train from the north. The kids had looked around in awe at the concrete jungle, so different from North City and their hometown, and Falman had taken great delight in showing his family around.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me ♫ Twelve drummers drumming, Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, ♪ Five golden rings ♪, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.
[image description: several characters from Fullmetal Alchemist playing marching drums. From front to back — Edward jump kicks and holds the drumsticks over his head with a huge grin preparing to bang the drum. Alphonse is behind him with a blushing smile as he repeatedly bands the drum. Winry jumps with joy besides him, holding the drumsticks to the drum. Behind her to the left is the Hughes family — Maes grins and holds his arms out, Gracia focuses on drumming and Elicia smiles widely as she bangs her drum on the floor. To their right, Roy Mustang has set his drum on fire, throwing it to the floor while Riza threw hers up and shot it, breaking it in two. Right at the back, Greed runs away with his drum and a wide smile, gluttony tries to eat the drum, Lust examines hers which she has stabbed through with her fingernails and Envy kicks theirs into the air.

Besides him is Alphonse, looking forwards in the direction they are going, looking determined. End ID]

Here’s my contribution to the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom this Oct 3!
A little warning for prospective viewers: FMAB has some very dark scenes (both blood-and-gore dark and conceptually dark). Although it’s not too bad, I thought I might add a warning since I’ve mostly recommended TV-Y7 shows.
Have fun watching (or rewatching) Fullmetal Alchemist this October 3!
[image description: a presentation detailing reasons for why you should watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, interlaced with cute drawings of the characters.
1. “why you should watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
a spoiler-free presentation written & illustrated by @magicmooshka”
Drawings of Ling Yao, Winry Rockbell, Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric as armour and Mei Chang in a line.
2. “Exciting and Fast-paced
If you enjoy conspiracies, epic duels, and high stakes, then Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the show for you! FMAB has dozens of plot twists to keep viewers on their toes, so there is never a dull moment. Each episode is an adventure and a delight.”
On the side are Lust, Gluttony and Envy, smiling and posing.
3. “Amazing female characters
FMAB refuses to adhere anime's sexist tropes. Instead, Hiromu Arakawa (the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist and a talented woman in her own right) wrote a wide variety of amazing women and girls. Whether a warrior or a mechanic, a princess or a hardened soldier, these female characters all share the respect and reverence of the male characters who fight by their side.”
Illustrated are some of these characters: Lan Fan, Olivier Mira Armstrong, Izumi Curtis, Riza Hawkeye, Mei Chang and Winry Rockbell.
4. “Iconic Sibling Dynamic
The Elric brothers are one of the best sibling duos in the history of anime. They form a powerful team due to their ingenuity and complementary personalities.
While the brothers share an unbreakable bond, they also have a realistic amount of bickering that gives their relationship a humorous charm.”
Illustration of Edward sitting on the shoulder of Alphonse’s armour, both with smiles on their faces.
5. “Strong supporting characters
Although the Elric brothers are the stars of the show, the story also follows the journeys of several supporting leads. These characters are crucial to the plot, have their own developed arcs, and are written to be lovable favourites”
Roy Mustang is on the left, a flame in his hand, Ling Yao in the right, grinning.
6. “Powerful Messages
FMAB uses a fantasy world where alchemy is revered as science to explore several important questions.
What is the value of a human life?
Where do we draw the line in scientific research?
How can we find compassion and strength in the darkest times?
These questions guide the characters' development, and their answers form the overall message of the series.”
Drawing of Scar and Kimblee looking at each other, Scar with a frown, Kimblee with a smirk.
7. “Epic Sountrack
Openings: Again, Hologram, Golden Time Lover, Period, Rain
Outros: Uso, Let it out, Tsunai Da Te, Shunkan Sentimental, Ray of Light
FMAB has an epic soundtrack to match its action-packed scenes. Its five openings and their respective ending themes are beautiful and catchy. The show and its songs amplify each other, contributing to the story's emotional, adventurous tone.”
In the centre is King Bradley beaming with Pride as with his hands on the shoulders of his starry-eyed, beaming son, Selim Bradley.
8. “Funny Scenes
Although this anime often takes a dark and serious tone, the series is sprinkled with hilarious scenes and playful teasing. Chibi expressions such as Alphonse's classic OWO face and Edward's oversensitivity have been immortalized in meme-worthy screenshots.”
Drawings of Alphonse looking panicked with his O W O face and an angry Winry pulling the cheek of a heavily-bandaged Edward.
9. “Satisfying Ending
FMAB's finale is the perfect end to the series. It concludes the main external conflict and answers the questions that have haunted the main characters since the beginning. The epilogue is bittersweet and heartwarming.”
Drawing of Van Hohenheim looking seriously to the side.
10. “In conclusion… you should watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood!
All 64 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood are available on Netflix!”
Illustrated on the side is Xiao Mei—a smiling panda with a heart by her head. End ID]
[ID: bright digital art of Ed Elric in profile, reaching toward the viewer with his automail hand. Two other hands reach out as well, one a child’s, the other with long fingernails, reminiscent of how it was when it belonged to Truth. His red cloak billows off his shoulders. Behind him, Al’s armor is split open down the center, with Truth’s gateway engravings. In the open space of Al’s chest, a singular eye is bright red, the color of a philosophers stone. It hovers right above Ed’s open automail hand. End ID]
Don’t forget!
I don’t have a burning house illustration but I did draw this not too long ago
Happy house burning anniversary
[image description: digital drawing of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. He in crouched down, his hands on the ground, and he looks to his automail arm with fear and concern. It is tinted red, and out of his fingertips emerge what looks like blood vessels which then climb up around him, arching over him. Bright red and cyan flecks are also around him. The colours and generally muted other than his bright, luminous golden hair and eyes. End ID]
Don't Forget

request from @evilgirlcorpse of ed shoplifting from hot topic
[image description: digital drawing of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist over a photograph of a Hot Topic interior. He stands by a bowl labelled 'Emo pins', reaching out to the bright coloured pins with one hand, the other holding a bag. He looks to the right shiftily to see if anyone's watching. He wears a red t-shirt with the Flamel symbol on it over a long-sleeve black and white striped shirt. End ID]
