Father: You have to understand, I had a very terrible childhood. Edward: Yeah? Well, I’m having a very terrible childhood right now.

Homunculus son

Thinking abt hohenheims life is so interesting like damn. Maybe I’ll draw this guy more

[zombiemollusk]

i think it's kinda neat that the oldest of the homunculi in both fullmetal alchemist continuities (ignoring the main villain in mangahood's case) tie into their overall views and motivations:

in mangahood, where the homunculi are their own beings (again, sans their father, who was presumably made by humans - though he may have instead been summoned from elsewhere) and believe they are inherently superior, the oldest one is pride.

in 2003, where they were created by humans in an attempt to revive other humans and are, in effect, insufficient replacements for the dead, and secretly desire to be human, the oldest one is envy.

though, oddly enough, the main villains themselves seem to invert this:

in mangahood, father's actions stem largely from feeling trapped his whole life - his early years were spent in a little glass flask, and even centuries after gaining a body and leaving it physically, he never quite left it mentally - so he obsessively seeks power to feel more "free", like the humans around him.

in 2003, dante's actions - laying waste to civilization after civilization to add on a few more years to her already lengthy lifespan - are because she, in her own words, "was worth it".

"Except that he was also, weirdly, entirely fucking white, like he had been hit with a bag of flour in a cartoon or something, so that's a big clear difference, but also later he gets your hair and skin color when he crosses the bishonen line? It's weird."

People are starting to say that Hiromu Arakawa "accidentally made the Dwarf in the Flask a sympathetic character and she should've leaned into that more" more often recently.

I agree that the Dwarf has a fairly tragic backstory.

I disagree that Arakawa should've expanded on that more, for the same reason she didn't expand on Mustang's backstory, or Ling or Mei's, or wrote anything of substance regarding the restoration of Ishval: Fullmetal Alchemist focuses on Ed and Al's story primarily, with the primary message being that human life is precious. If it didn't, then it'd be a different story under a different title.

1, 2 and 3 for Father

1. Canon I outright reject

That he’s kinda like blood related to Ed & Al 😖

2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

That he was actually comfier in the flask but he won’t admit it 😌💀⚗️

3. Obscure headcanon

He misses hanging out with Hohenheim ���

- Mod Mustang & Mod Hawkeye 🔥🦅

My name is dwarf

And I'm in glass

My eyes are many

My knowledge vast

But when it's time

To stage a coup

I crack the flask
