funny things Ed and Al do after getting their bodies back (a non-exhaustive list):

- Ed fcking decks anything with his right hand (and almost breaks it after a while) because he keeps forgetting it’s not made of metal and no ed you cant just crush a can under your fist anymore stop

- Al forgetting to wear affect on his face sometimes. He just sits while people are talking to him with a stone-cold murder expression and Winry and Ed constantly remind him relaxed face al! (sometimes just under their breath) and they soon learn to tell him by just a signal by tapping their cheek twice and he shakes his head to snap out of it and smiles because yes! he can smile again!

- Ed’s right arm isn’t as heavy as automail so sometimes gestures just go flying like he’ll lift a plate and accidentally fckin fling the plate across the room behind himself because he accounts for the weight of his automail by accident and moves with way too much gusto

- Al getting pneumonia because he keeps sneaking outside whenever it rains to fcking stand in the rain

- Ed just lifting hot things w/ his right hand without an oven mitt and burning himself

- Al usually sitting with his legs curled close to his chest or legs folded because he couldn’t do that in his armoured body and it feels so nice!! he feels so small!!

- Ed being ambidextrous since he was forced to master writing with his left hand and he perfects the art of drawing transmutation circles with two hands at TOP EFFICIENCY SPEED just because he can

feel free to add more!

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations

[ashkemuri]

it's time to create a fake distinction between squashed and squished where one of them is along a horizontal plane and one of them is along a vertical one and seeing how far i can take it

we make fun of thorin getting lost in the shire but you know the nazgul also had to keep asking for directions to find bag end so maybe hobbits’ city planning is just wack

I read your headcanon about hohenheims memory being trash and I completly agree, but consider: the souls inside him remember stuff for him and if he dosen't knows what to say they all start yelling (what they belive to be) the right response

Oh /Absolutely/ hoho’s mind is just a cross between a chat room and a cage match as the individual souls yell out their opinions and hoot and holler over ever decision he ever makes 

this means sometimes he’ll manage to catch someone saying the right thing and out loud come across as someone who Remembers Things, but a lot of the OTHER times he just opens his mouth and says the most buckwild shit because he accidentally heard Bill the Farmhand yelling the loudest and Bill Doesn’t Know Shit

If you put nail polish on Greed’s nails when he’s using the ultimate shield does the nail polish disappear when he goes back to normal? (And vice versa.)

Oh we’re getting into the REAL Questions now

Ok the crux of the answer here depends entirely on what the heck is going on with greed’s claws vis a vi where do they come from where do they go cotton eye joe

Option A is that as the shield forms over his skin it generates the claws automatically over his existing nails, sort of like slipping on one of those shitty green plastic witch fingers they used to hand out on halloween you know the ones - this means the claws are a pure extension of the shield and the regular fingernail is still intact underneath  PROS: makes the most sense, doesn’t involve additional subhuman anatomy to pull off CONS: lame and we can do better. also nail polish would almost certainly get pushed off of the nail since the shield is so close against it - think taking a 2 or 3 atom thick razor of carbon and sliding it against the top of the nail, peeling any sort of polish clean off. Upside is nail polish removal is a breeze. Another argument against this idea is that when ed destroys greed’s shield, both the claws AND his regular-ass fingernails vanish along with the top layer of skin so that’s something 

Hell they even make a point of immediately showing that the nails are gone since they magically regrow as soon as greed heals himself

What does this mean? Probably that the animators used a base overlay so they could do a comprehensive effect without worrying about the silhouette! BUT WE’RE NOT HERE TO THINK RATIONALLY FUCK THAT NOISE  Option B is that the claws are physically just his regular nails and are somehow retractable, and that instead of the shield forming over his nails it just literally converts the makeup of the nail to graphine along with the top layer of skin - this means the claws are totally separate from the shield and Can be used Whenever like in this image but greed’s just a fucking coward in canon 

now you may be asking, isn’t this official art just someone obviously forgetting to color in the shield? Of course it is! But Counterargument: It’s 2am and I don’t give a fuck!! PROS: Nail polish stays on the nail since only the material underneath it is changing but not pushing it off - also is cool creature design and means even with greed gone ling is still a verifiable circus freak should he choose to demonstrate  Enjoy this image that both illustrates my point and also illustrates my taste in top-tier manga entertainment go read dungeon meshi

CONS: Definitely isn’t canon - also if he wanted the paint the base of the claw he’d have to extend them first and do it all at once and idk how well that’d work if they retract but Who Knows it’s probably fine CONCLUSIONS: oh it’s definitely option A UNLESS YOU’RE NOT A C O W A R D

Ling: It’s okay to ask for help. Heinkel: You are not a burden. Ed: Arson is okay. Darius: Your feelings matter.

Roy: Sorry.

Roy: I just got up so it will take a few minutes for my personality to arrive.

We had a short-lived drinking game based on how many enemies you have, Roy. It killed a man.

Kurapika: Neither Gon nor Leorio have any surviving skills, their need to win has replaced them.

Melody: That can’t be true.

Killua: *putting down his glass of lemonade* Watch this. Hey, Leorio, Gon! Race to the bottom of the stairs!

Gon: *throws himself out of the window, no questions asked*

Leorio: Fuck! *jumps from the top of the stairs*

Gon, bandaged all up and in a weak voice: I told you I was faster, old man

Leorio, even more damaged than Gon, is rolling his eyes and hisses: Oh shut up, Kid. I’ve clearly won

Gon, laughing and coughing: Whatever you *cough* *cough* say to feel better, you sentimental shit

Killua, sweating and worried: I never wanted that! I swear, Leorio! L-let me make it up to you to! *walks towards the window* LET ME JUMP

Kurapika, sighing: See what I have to deal with?

[ashkemuri]

Kurapika: *drops some bills on the ground* I will give you thirty US dollars to leave us alone

Leorio: Hmpf! Do I look like a guy who can be swayed by money

Kurapika: You do.

Leorio: *scooping the money off the ground* Damn straight.
