You wanna know what’s pretty messed up?

So there’s a mini, joke chapter at the end of Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 3 called “Flame vs. Fullmetal” –if you’ve watched FMA 03, you’ll remember they adopted aspects of this into the semi-joke episode, episode 13—Anyway, the premise is that people have started musing about the timeless question, “Who would win in a fight?” between Ed and Roy. And for the hell of it, Ed and Roy agree to an all-out alchemist battle to settle the matter.

Fast forward through the battle a bit, Ed’s lured Roy out with a decoy and seizes the opportunity to jump the Colonel from the smoke.

In classic Roy fashion though–

–he’s prepared. “You sliced up my right glove but psyche I’ve got a second one that does the exact same thing.”

And Ed’s toast. Rip Ed.

This whole sequence is pure humor, all jokes and snark and the satisfaction of watching Ed and Roy try to beat the shit out of each other. But something about it seemed…familiar. Something that finally clicked.

In this silly little sequence, Ed chose disarmament of his enemy over victory. He chose securing his position of power by using his automail weapon to slice through his enemy’s transmutation circle rather than actual violence. And his foolish trust in passively subduing a powerful opponent is what gets him well and truly burned.

And then, well there’s his fight against Kimblee. Chapter 76

Ed spent a long chunk of the lead-up to this battle arguing that he does not want to kill Kimblee. He gets into a fight with the Briggs soldiers about this, and they never quite convince him that Kimblee is better off murdered.

So when it comes down to a fight between the two of them, Ed chooses mercy. He chooses Kimblee’s life. He separated Kimblee from his philosopher’s stone, and slices out the transmutation circle on Kimblee’s palm.

And just when he’s let his guard down, convinced he’s passively won–

–Kimblee, rather than Roy this time, pulls out his trump card.

It’s…nigh identical. Ed sees an opening, uses it to disarm, then is taken by complete surprise that his opponent has a second transmutation circle…a second philosopher’s stone.

In Flame vs Fullmetal, Ed is just sort of…comically blown away. His weakness was exposed and his pride suffered for it. Against Kimblee. Well–

–he does not get away in tact.

And it hits as such a…dark piece of continuity. A trueness to this being Ed’s weakness, and a stark, cold, harsh reality in the fact that there are bigger, scarier things out there than Mustang, yet things just as manipulative, powerful, tactful. Things which will kill Ed at a moment’s notice, that do not deserve his mercy.

Ed lives, but he sacrifices his own life-force for it. He surrenders years off the end of his life to pull through. This is an unforgiving consequence shown to naivete. And the parallel exposed in a joke chapter from volume 3 is just…

…well, chilling.

You do requests

Unfortunately, I don't do requests. I only take commissions.

Nutcracker Silver for the holidays!

Some Pomni drawings because I like The Amazing Digital Circus a lot.

I'm alive. Just been busy with projects. I'm going to sell prints at conventions next year, so I'm putting those together.

I am also working on a comic that's been in the works since 2019. It started as a fanfic, but now I'm transitioning the story to comic form. It's going to be a Pokemon comic. I'm very excited to share it with everyone. Just going to allow myself to create a buffer first. I have posted many comic projects in the past that I never finished because I would either not create a buffer or catch up with my buffer. Get too stressed out about deadlines, then drop the project because I lost motivation.

Once I finish Chapter 1, I will be posting this comic on Comic Fury and potentially on here. I'm unsure how successful comics are on this platform.

Stay tuned!

Apologies for the inactivity. Something significant happened recently, and my motivation has been down drastically. Hopefully I can pick it again soon.

Awwwwww, he's adorable! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

gift for @astraldragoness

i liked your au so much that I wanted to draw a gift for you. I also wanted to draw Noise, but somehow I didn't have enough strength, well, I only had enough for Pepperman, I really liked him with this idea with a brush tail

[astraldragoness]

Haven't drawn my sad boy in forever!

Since I never posted any drawings of him on Tumblr, this is Cowers-in-Shadows. My main Elder Scrolls character. A Dunmer with an Argonian name and strange silver eyes. Haunted by years of trauma, Cowers suffers from anxiety, PTSD and low self worth. He struggles with shaking hands and a stutter when he's stressed or nervous. Despite this, Cowers is a highly skilled archer.

Cowers has the most fleshed out backstory of all my Elder Scrolls characters and he's very dear to me.

These designs are so pretty! Oh, my goooooosh!!! ✨️✨️✨️

Okay I finished Vigi and Stick

Kinda ok, I tried my best to not make it too similar to The Noise and Pizzahead who are yellow colored characters... The main question for his palette was "how does one make cheese cosmic?" I don't think I made the plasma body obvious enough tho... Still I think he's very fancy 😁

And now for Mr Stick

One of the most "daring" palette of the cast, it's also the one with the most symbolism, here Mr Stick is desaturated and lost his orange colors, his face is transparent (and yes it's meant to be transparent) and only his book he uses for work seems to be colored (note that it's HIS colors on the covers). I went with a blue color palette 'cause any warmer colors was just... EUUARG DISGUSTING x(.

So in the end the entire cast looks like this

Again thank you @skythevirus for PH's color palette!

and thanks to everyone else for suggestions, fanart and feedbacks ! It goes straight to my heart how so many people like this AU that literally started from a joke x), I'll be making soon enough a cleaner version of everyone in color hopefully, I hope y'all like them :D

Okay see ya ✌️

[astraldragoness]

AAAAAAAAH, HE'S SO HECKING CUTE!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Even though you don't really draw dragons, you did great with him!

Pepperman from Draco Tower/Dragon AU (@astraldragoness )

I never knew how to draw dragons, and I still can’t. But I really liked this Pepperman, so I took a risk and I don’t regret drawing him :3. I drew this cute little dragon with a bowl of fruit because the author indicated that in order for him to paint with colored paint, he needs to eat certain foods (mostly fruits). And damn, I’m still touched by the fact that his wings are small, but this Pepperman does not lose heart and lives his bright and eventful life).

[astraldragoness]

Dunmer do not use oven mitts or other ppe for heat due to their fire resistance this makes them terrifying to work with in kitchens bc if they have only worked with other dunmer and forget that hot things hurt other people

@technically-a-kiwi

So, if my username is anything to go by, I love space. And everything to do with space. I adore Cosmic Peppino and Cosmic Noise. And I just had to draw them with Astrid, my avatar. I hope that's OK!
