#fma king Bradley

[oocooartistry]

So, spoilers for Fullmetal Alchemist but-

I'm watching fmab and the discovery that Selim Bradley is a humunculous is so funny to me. Like, him and King Bradley are technically siblings. That whole scene of Selim reading his cringey school essay at the dinner table is solely an act for Mrs.Bradley. Do you think they ever just interact like-

King Bradley: Good work at school today, my wonderful son! You are such a clever and well behaved human child!

Selim: Thanks Papa! Anything to make you and Mom proud!

King Bradley: Oh ho ho!

Mrs Bradley: Oh you two are just so sweet, what a lovely and normal family I have! Good night dears. *leaves*

King Bradley and Selim: *evil snickering*

Ok I need some fanfic recommendations for these please!!

Fullmetal Alchemist

-Wrath/Fuhrer King Bradley x Female OC romance fanfic that’s rated M because that man is just way too hot and there’s barely any fanfics out there 😭

-Greed x Female OC romance Rated M

-General Miles x Female OC romance rated M

-Jean Havoc x Female OC romance rated M

-Scar x Female OC romance rated M

-Edward Elric x Female OC romance rated M

-Solf J. Kimblee x Female OC romance rated M

I’ve gone through FanFiction.Net, here and a bit in AO3 and there’s not much out there. 😕 I don’t mind smut in the stories I read (hence the reason why I want rated M stuff) but I would like to read something with some plot too. Part of me is debating just writing of some of these myself, but I don’t have well developed plots in mind lol

At the end of "Fullmetal Alchemist", Ed Elric quits the military, has given up his ability to "play god", and is (as he has been since he burned his fucking house down as a tweenager) homeless, disabled, and crashing at the Rockbell place to help his very sick brother recover.

And it's easy and funny to imagine Edward Elric essentially becoming the house husband of successful and innovative automail mechanic Winry Rockbell (and later a stay-at-home dad). Small family businesses are pretty much always a mess of needing an extra hand just to answer phones and the mail, to schedule appointments, to deliver and pick up parts, to organize stock, to "just hold this for a second for me", and so on. Pinako is not getting any younger and could use someone to cook dinner and fix the roof while she rests her back!!! Winry is busy!!!

There is also always a lot to do in a rural community, so I'm sure that Ed would find another hobby in the absence of alchemy and could turn it into a gig if necessary, if he really doesn't like automail. He has a lot of skills that he could potentially turn towards an income. I've also generally assumed that Ed made a pretty decent amount of money as a State Alchemist and still has some generous savings on that front.

But I was also thinking that it would be kind of funny if being a State Alchemist came with incredible retirement benefits. Like, the military wants to lure people in with wealth and power and resources - and then make alchemists desperate enough to keep these things that they become walking weapons of war, commit horrible crimes against humanity in the name of "research", and/or resort to human transmutation and become viable sacrifices. Ed never had to worry about getting kicked out (and presumably losing his benefits) because he was a perfect human sacrifice from the get-go (although he didn't know this). I'm guessing a lot of State Alchemists were never actually able to retire between dying in wars, failing out of the program (the brass finding excuses to save money! Bosses are always cheap!), getting arrested for speaking out or actually getting caught publicly doing bad shit, and being murdered for their crimes against humanity.

But, in theory, maybe the State Alchemist retirement benefits were absolutely incredible if you could somehow survive long enough or get permission for an early, "honorable" retirement, because King Bradley (who let's say set up this financial bait) somewhat reasonably assumed that Father would completely destroy the country before he'd ever have to pay out a pension. Which means that Ed could be out of the military for years and somehow still costing Roy Mustang a lot of money.

Seven Deadly Sins

[soufflegirl]

fma villains make me insane, they're like "no actually we can't kill the main characters because we need them alive for our mysterious evil plan" so they spare them EVERY TIME and even get to the point where they start getting in the way when Scar tries to kill them and then when Edward and Alphonse find out that King Bradley is an homunculus he's like "ah now that you discovered our secret, you better keep quiet or else" and Alphonse has the nerve to ask him "while we are waiting for the end of the world, can we PLEASE get on with our quest??" and Wrath is like "yeah sure why not, but stay out of trouble"

The quiet lore and worldbuilding of Fullmetal Alchemist

I read the entire manga & it's never infodumped why prosthetics are so commonplace. We learn that Amestris is a martial country always at war. We know that war creates cripples. We know that war creates innovation. If Fullmetal Alchemist was a western work of fiction, a character woulda flat out stated, "Amestris heavily invested in prosthetics cuz it was more cost-effective than training new soldiers to replace all the ones who lost limbs fighting." The writer simply lets us draw that conclusion from all the details she set before us. In our world, soldiers who lose limbs get a cheap replacement and discharged. In Amestris, they give you a new limb almost as good as the old one, a little physical therapy, then send you back into the fray to fight some more.
