One would think that after 200+ years of rocking short hair, having to deal with a long pony tail would be very trying. I mean it takes me nearly 10 hours every week to take care of it, and mine isn’t even that long lol.

Edit: I forgot to add that I made this one as a tribute to @cotgar2 but I see you already liked it ;D

[image description: digital drawing of Greed (Greedling version) of FMA holding up his ponytail and examining it, considering if he should cut it. In a red bubble by him is the head of Ling Yao, yelling angrily: “Don’t even think about it!!!” written in all caps. End ID]

Prince

[image description: digital drawing of Ling Yao from side-on, crouched down and poised, resting one arm on his knee, the other holding a cutlass over his shoulder. He looks ahead of him with a slight smile on his face. The background is blue, the colours used are bright. End ID]

Ling Yao!

[image description: digital drawing of Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemist sitting in a pile of watermelons at a stall. He holds a partially-eaten slice in his hand, looking happy as he chews. Behind him, his sword stands in a watermelon. The colours are bright. End ID]

this man has stolen my HEART 

[image description: digital drawing of Ling Yao sitting on the ground and looking to the side. He’s roughly in a side sitting position, with one leg slightly higher as he props his arm on it, his face resting on that arm’s hand. He looks to the left with a smile. He’s relaxed, wearing his signature yellow shirt and grey trousers, and the lighting is warm. The first drawing shows him on a white background; the second yellow-orange. End ID]

Whoever’s on the receiving end of that snowball, small heads up but you should probably watch out. Just saying

[image description: digital drawing of Greedling of Fullmetal Alchemist playing in the snow. He raises a snowball with a big grin on his face, hair flying with his motion. He wears a puffy jacket, red scarf and earmuffs. A speech bubble shape shows Ling Yao, sitting and cheering greedling on from within him. It’s bright with snow falling behind him. End ID]

Mr Greed ~~ It’s comforting to know that, no matter what, this man will always want you, just as you are~~

Side note: I was struggling to draw a few-month-old with memories of a 200-year-old, with a face of a 15-year-old who can pass for a 20-year-old. Make it make sense .___.

I obviously failed to portray it but guys I #tried and hey, I think the eyes turned out ok. If you hate it, please enjoy this other doodle I made, it took entire 10 minutes to draw xD

[image descriptions: 1. A realistic digital drawing, in a muted colour scheme, of a close up on Greedling of FMA’s face. His eyebrows are drawn in, making him look like he’s slightly scowing. His purple eyes seem brighter.

2. black and white drawings of Ling Yao, relaxed, looking to the side with a frown, and Lan Fan, holding up a bunch of flowers by her chest as she smiles. End ID]

greed would’ve said stronger but that’d be lying

Happy Halloween!

[image description: Ling Yao and Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist, pushing their heads against each other and grinning, dressed as typical Halloween figures. Ling, on the left, is a vampire, with two pointed fangs, and a smart outfit, including a jewel at the collar and ruffles. Edward is a zombie, his face pale grey with red scars across. Behind them, the moon glows orange against the starry night sky, with the dark silhouettes of bare trees and smoke behind the boys. End ID]

don’t forget!

(id in alt text)

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.]

[image description: gifset showing various black silhouettes of fullmetal alchemist characters, with white tears falling down their faces, a compilation of manga panels as backgrounds.

1. Edward Elric, his elbows can be seen shaking as he sobs. Manga panels include: young Edward facing the ‘eye’ of truth, him telling Winry not to shoot scar, the failed transmutation, Truth walking, Nina’s chimera saying his name, inside his pocket watch, his widened eyes, Mei standing besides’ Alphonse’s battered armour after Al gave his soul for Edward’s arm, his bloodied hands, a woman lying on the floor.

2. Winry Rockbell, facing forward.

3. Riza Hawkeye, slowly lifting her face before tears start tricking down. Manga panels: several of lust, several of Gluttony surviving her shots, several of Pride looking at her with dots for eyes, her widened eyes, her grimacing, her with vacant eyes saying ‘And don’t forget them. Don’t forget.’ , lying in the floor heavily wounded but saying ‘been ordered not to die you see’, Envy’s evil grin, Mustang ordering her to put down her gun, Mustang when blind, her when heavily injured, her crouching on the floor hopelessly.

Be a good king!”, Lan Fan crying, when he was given the philosopher’s stone, memories of the original Greed, him standing before the moon alone, Greed reflecting on the gift of friends, him saying “a king should be there for his people. Without his people there is no king.”, Greed crying in pain, Lan Fan’s arm tied onto a dog, Greedling held down.

6. Hohenheim, seen from side, quivering as he cries. Manga panels: Alphonse’s empty armour, Edward crying, Father saying “blood kin. Hohenheim.” while they overlook the dead bodies around Xeres, him and the dwarf in the flask talking, Hohenheim screaming in pain, Xeres’ king’s soulless face, Hohenheim wondering where to go without a gone, standing as a shield before Edward, “I’ve given you immortality”, his wife and kids happy, ‘Homonculus’ introducing himself to Hohenheim.
