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.]

I swear, even if you haven't seen FMA, I think you might appreciate the fucking talent! 🤩

The hotdogs taped together with what looks like scotch tape really makes this for me

[video description: a tiktok posted by @ v__i__e__l with the top half showing a scene from Fullmetal Alchemist 2003; the bottom half, a acted recreation of the scene.

The scene starts with the blond soldier, Alex Louis Armstrong, and Sig Curtis, with brown hair and a beard, standing before some sausages, staring at each other intensely. Armstrong drops his shirt and flexes his impressive muscles, his eyes going black as he does this, which is edited onto the recreation. He grunts with strain. In response, Sig also flexes his equally impressive muscles so hard his clothes rip and fly off him, his eyes also going black at this point.

Then two people run in, Winry Rockbell and Mason, with Winry crying ‘stop, Major, Ed and Al are—’ but stops, stunned, as Armstrong and Sig continue flexing to each other. Then, they both reach out and shake each other’s hands. They sparkle and look at each other, respect, and for Armstrong, tears in their eyes. End description.]

[ID: Two gifs of characters from Fullmetal Alchemist. The first gif transitions from Lust to Riza Hawkeye to Olivier Mira Armstrong, and corresponding words “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” for each respective character flash in. The second gif transitions from Solf J. Kimblee to Roy Mustang to Sig Curtis as “manipulate, mansplain, malewife” flash in for the respective character. /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.]

This is amazing!
