“ it seems like you should buy a girl dinner first, before sticking your hand in her chest”

Scene redrraawwwwwwww! I’ve always thought this scene was a cool way of seeing lusts regenerative abilities and I wanted to try and draw it in my style or in a somewhat creepier way

This is peak

I think there's probably a period during Al's travels where he gets so excited about getting to experience new things and make up for his time in the armor, that he starts getting really bad at staying in contact with Ed.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to Ed - in fact, he's taking careful notes of his entire journey with the intention to one day let Ed read all of it - but he's just so enamored with experiencing LIFE that he just. Forgets to call. Forgets to send a letter.

The gaps in between their conversations get longer and longer and Al doesn't even realize it because he's filling his time with so many new things - food and dating and friends and clothes and seasons and hot springs and snow-capped, chilly mountains, etc, etc, etc.

And Ed starts panicking, because maybe Al's going to end up like their dad - just disappear one day on travels he doesn't take the time to explain. Maybe in giving Al his life back, Ed needs to be content with not holding him down.

He refuses to tell Al any of that, though. He wants his brother to be free to do whatever he wants. He doesn't want to hold him back from that.

It takes Winry taking over the phone during one of their rare phone calls and yelling some sense into Al's ear for him to realize just how bad he's gotten about messaging home.

He immediately makes plans to head back to Resembool for a long, extended stay with his family, where he can finally hand his journals over to Ed in person and let him see all the amazing things he's been up to.

He never goes longer than a week without checking in again.

The A in Alphonse stands for avoidant

"I couldn't save her"

Thinking abt alphonse and martel again recently, making myself nauseous. Actual insanity that martel was murdered inside him and her blood splattered everywhere and he had to watch his body be pulled apart and thoroughly scrubbed. Then blaming himself for her death ON TOP OF THAT at FOURTEEN years old????!?!??. Why does no one else ever really talk about this

Bleh bleh bleh, thinking about the different visual characteristics they would have between brotherhood and 03. Brotherhood Edward would have darker skin and probably a slight curl in his hair because of hohenheim methinks, I also just think there would be differences in the golden colour of his eyes and hair

Posting this here too because it actually kills me but everytime arakawa draws alphonse doing this my heart breaks 5 million times over. it's just a really nice detail showing his age through body language and I really love it. It's also interesting in my opinion because he can't feel the cloth but he does it anyways because I'm assuming it was a nervous tic of his. Which makes me think more about how his whole situation works in terms of like proprioception and things that carried over from his human body like this nervous tic of his.
