Elricest Love Event 2025

Summer is here! The #elricestloveevent2025 will be the last full week of July, beginning on Sunday the 20th and ending on Saturday the 26th.

You can choose any of the three prompts for each day, or you can create for all three! Your creation may transcend categories - if your night swimming fic strays into NSFW territory, or if you just want to draw SFW art of Al in short shorts, no problem!

Background ships are also acceptable in your creation, as long as the main focus is Ed/Al.

If a day's prompts don't speak to you, or you find them squicky, alternate prompts are available under the cut - you may use them for any day!

Be sure to tag all your works, whether they be fanfic, art, edits, or even headcanons or meta, with #elricestloveevent2025. Or tag/submit to this blog, so your creation will be shared! If you have any questions, drop an ask here, or on my main at @kylermalloy.

Happy summer creating!

Alternate prompts can be used for any day. If you have trouble finding inspiration in a short, conceptual prompt, see if one of the more detailed starter lines on the right is more your fit!

鋼腐向エド受けログ6 | 姉音咲リオ

Ice cream and sweet shop in a magical area run by a very old vampire. Autistic teenager who recently moved to the area getting it in her head that she wants to Complete the ice cream shop and try everything

Patient but quietly aghast vampire who keeps having to be like. Um. Dear. Are you sure?

Teenager increasingly IMpatient because yes, she's sure. She is fuelled by free time and the power of autism

"This ice cream is... For vampires."

"It tastes like blood?"

"Well. Yes. Blood and bone marrow, mainly."

"Let me try."

"I do not think you will like it."

"I don't like most flavours."

This kid tries the ice creams and sweets made with various bloods. She tries the ones made with fae bone powders or the different beetles in magical syrups. She tries the suspensions made with very astrignent berries or strong mushrooms that are intended for fae or ogres

Vampire draws the line at letting her try stuff that's explicitly poisonous, but that just means she's sometimes sitting and tapping her feet on her barstool, waiting, as he looks between an ingredients list and a search page that says "is (alchemical ingredient) safe for humans to eat?"

What's the point of a ship if half the fandom has one of them age up four years without changing anything else?

At least give a canon reason for the events of canon happening when the character is older besides "I think they belong together in canon but one of them is a child and that's Icky" like come on man.

I cant emotionally get over the fact that in CoS Al becomes a version of Ed and Ed becomes a version of their mom.

FMA edward is a lot more morally complex and explicitly complicit than FMAB edward and i think it's a lot more interesting.

FMAB begins with edward already a state alchemist, discovering the corruption as he spends more time in. nina is a revelation after the fact. in FMA, the worldbuilding is much more aware that people do not like living in military dictatorships and suffer greatly under them. they're suspicious and hostile; "dog of the military" is actually an insult and edward is thrown out of an inn for being one, even if he's only 14. regarding nina, edward is staying with shou tucker while he studies for the state alchemist exam.

FMAB allows ed this vague notion of what prioritizing his goals over others' wellbeing by joining the military means, allows him to change his mind after seeing the real costs without necessarily giving up military research resources. FMA makes the corruption of the decision explicit. he decides to prioritize his goals and align himself with the military after nina. he makes that choice with nina at the forefront of his mind, with a recognition that he is violating his values and base morality for access to resources and research materials.

the shou tucker line is a lot more harrowing in FMA for a lot of reasons. in FMA, it represents very real parallels between ed and tucker, parallels partly constructed by a desire for knowledge and alchemical power and partly by the military dictatorship they live in, who owns that knowledge, what it's used for, and what is allowed in its pursuit.

been watching fma and i want to see mustang suffer so bad ^_^

I loveee the colours in cos

eds side of the gate is all grey and a bit dark and amestris isn't bright and colourful, more of a rose-tinted hue, because ed wants to go back home

An Elricest fanfic in an AU where they are famous ice skaters... pretty random but i think it would be good

[rizalismyotp]

i think alphonse would still experience depersonalization and dysmorphia even after getting his body back

[rizalismyotp]

Finally, I can hold you close to me again

[rizalismyotp]

“Not that Alphonse was ever a reward.

But a reward, all the same.”

Im obsessed with the idea of Al’s blood seal being a scar on his nape once he gets his body back, as if Ed’s blood had burned itself on his skin,,, of course he gotta kiss it

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), directed by Seiji Mizushima & written by Shō Aikawa // I'm thinking of ending things (2016), written by Iain Reid.

I'm thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks, it lingers, it dominates. There's not much I can do about it, trust me. It doesn't go away. It's there whether I like it or not. It's there when I eat, when I go to bed. It's there when I sleep, it's there when I wake up. It's always there. Always. I haven't been thinking about it for long. The idea is new. But it feels old at the same time. When did it start? What if this thought wasn't conceived by me but planted in my mind predeveloped? Is an unspoken idea unoriginal? Maybe I've actuall known all along. Maybe this is how it was always going to end.

I think it's more that fma03 was so massive in Japan, why have all these episodes with the basics when everyone already knows this stuff?

From what I understand, it was as big or bigger than Harry potter at its peak in the US, for reference.

If they're given a set number of episodes, if you fast-forward through the beginning, you have more time to get through everything else, too.

I don't think it was bad writing.

"Fma 03 diverges from the manga at some point" 03 was never meant to be a 1:1 adaptation from the manga, with numerous 'divergences' and core differences being evident from episode 01. For such diehard manga fans/Arakawa worshippers, you would think people would notice this immediately. Then again, they're not particularly known for their keen eyes and would rather regurgitate memetic beliefs that just won't die in this fandom.

"Fma 03 and Brotherhood are meant to compliment each other," 03 is six years Brotherhood's senior. No, it was not made to enhance an adaptation that, at the time, was not in the books (or else, get this: they would have made Brotherhood instead) (which would be impossible anyway given that the manga was only one volume long when 03 was greenlit). (You also wouldn't have even gotten Brotherhood without the success of the first anime adaptation, but mangahood fans have an extremely difficult time accepting this fact.) Fma 2003 is a complete story without ever needing to read the manga or watch a show that didn't exist yet (Brotherhood). Meanwhile Brotherhood's early arcs are a rushed disaster that hopes it's audience either read those parts of the manga already, watched 03, or can forgive sloppy tv eps and/or are easily invested in whatever's fed to them.

"Fma 03 diverges from Brotherhood," lol lmao rofl Apparently we're time travelling here. Again, 03 predates Brotherhood by 6 years. It cannot diverge from a second adaptation that doesn't even exist. And Brotherhood isn't a great stand-in for the manga, so it doesn't work as a shorthand (or long-hand) for the source material. It's nitpicky, and I know fma fans are squeamish about details, but I'm compelled to be annoying about it.
