fullmetal pipsqueak

Ok so maybe you already know but I rewatched FMAB this year, and once more I realized that it is and it will always be one of my favorite shows of all time. And I can’t begin to explain how much Arakawa’s creation means to me. Like I really can’t, but I’ll try

It’s filled by amazing, diverse and complex and lovable characters, and I love each one of them (yes Kimblee, you too); it has an excelent and well-carried plot, it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel intrigued and all sort of things. But in the end, the thing that clicked for me was its core message, one that speaks about connection. The people we meet along the way and the true reason of our existence on this world, the things that really matter

I think that when Ed and Al burned their house, that October the 3rd, they were beginning a journey that, ironically, would lead them back to where they started: home, family, friends. Connection. 

Like Josh Ritter says in one of my favorite songs: “Only a full house’s gonna make a home“

I think of that song and that line in particular when I think of FMA

I tried to portrait that connection in this piece, I hope that gets through~

Happy October 3rd, everyone 😊💖

[image description: digital drawing showing a huge group hug with Alphonse at the centre after his body was returned. The first uses warm colours and the light on their faces. The second is edited to look like a sepia photograph.

Closest to Alphonse is Izumi, resting her cheek on his head; Edward with a huge grin; and Mei Chang. Around them, from left to right: Lan Fan, who also has a hand on Mei’s shoulder; Ling Yao, an arm around Lan Fan; Van Hohenheim; Riza Hawkeye looking at the kids tenderly; Roy Mustang. On the outside of the hug are Sig, looking in with a huge smile, and a sparkling Alex Louis Armstrong. End ID.]

man people be out there talkin about the ‘guy saves the girl’ tropes in FMAB while completely ignoring all the times the girls saved the guys. just some examples off the top of my head: >winry gave ed an arm and a leg. literally, the entire reason he could even move around was thanks to her and granny pinako >riza tripping mustang during his confrontation with scar in episode 5, wherein he very well could’ve died just like that >honestly just the first half of episode 54 with riza and mustang hhbhbhbhbbbh >lan fan cutting off her own go d dda mn arm so that ling and her could escape from bradley in episode 23, saving both their lives >(hell ling states in that very same episode that she’s stronger than him and was more dedicated to saving their clan than he could ever be) >mei healing scar’s wounds on several occasions >mei healing dr. marcoh’s wound in episode 31 >winry every time ed does anything stupid ever >lets be real ling wouldnt have survived two steps into the desert without lan fan >lets be real mustang wouldnt have survived two seconds being a colonel without riza >lets be real edward wouldnt have survived pretty much anything without winry >also maria ross and rebecca coming in clutch with extra supplies in episode 51!! >izumi kicking greed’s ass and saving ed in episode 14 >olivier saving the entirety of fort briggs with her quick-thinking and leadership when sloth showed up >olivier absolutely o b l i t e r a t i n g general raven in episode 36, saving the world from having that creepy asshole be alive anymore >also her technically saving several briggs men from being trapped in that tunnel by sneakily giving the old guy a broken watch in episode 38 >just olivier in general >just izumi in general anyway summary: all the women in FMA are amazing and strong and way more capable than any man to have ever existed and i want to hold all their hands

humble offering,

1. Izumi Curtis holding up wrath with the text: “It’s my homunculus and I get to love and cherish him!”

2. Edward Elric digging up his mother’s bones with the text: “it’s my homunculus and I get to kill her!” End ID.]

[id: an illustration of the main cast of fullmetal alchemist. separated from the others by glowing blue fire at the edges are the homunculi, with king bradley at the top. on either side of him are lust smiling with her claw raised and envy glaring with their fist up. below them are pride, shadows forming behind him; gluttony, tongue out to show his ouroboros mark; sloth, teeth gritted and head raised; and greedling, smiling with one arm raised toward his face. next are izumi with her arms crossed, may chang jumping up with a smile, scar looking warily to the side, and olivier resting both hands on her rapier’s hilt. the next row is riza, gun pointed off-screen as she steps forward; winry, holding up a wrench with a smile; and major armstrong, flexing with a faint smile and sparkles around him. last are al, hands raised, and roy, fire spreading from his outstretched hand. in the very front is ed, who’s smiling and bent forward with blue electricity flying from his hands. /end id.]

The Five Human Sacrifices

[Image description: Poster-like drawing of the Promised Day sacrifices. The doors of the Gate of Truth and vertical snapshots of the sacrifices meet at a vanishing point in the center. Truth stands above the vanishing point, with the Eye of Truth behind them.

Shadow hands weave around: Izumi, with a white circle on her stomach to show her internal organs taken, Ed, with a blinding white right arm to show it was taken, Al's entire body, and Roy's eyes. Hohenheim is drawn on top of the shadow hands' almost chandelier-like pattern, with a philosopher's stone. End ID]

I’m late for fma art but i just want everyone to know i care them

[image description: digital drawing of Izumi and Sig Curtis. Sig is behind Izumi, leaning to the side, with one hand on her shoulder, the other gently placed on her face. He’s smiling and has a heart by his head. Izumi has her arms crossed, looking annoyed, but is still. End ID.]
