Because no one asked, I'm gonna dump my headcanons of Lan Fan on yall!!!!!!!!! 💥
To play her character on my RP server, I had to fill in the holes of her backstory and shoves themes to explore her in a story, and honestly I think it just makes sense 😌
♦ "Coming from a family of retainers to the Yao Family that's been in service for generations" is all we had to work with. Based on the fact we have an old man and a teenager, I assume they are the last of their bloodline due to Reasons™ (I can info dump lore I created for this whole family business in another post if anyone wants to know) This leaves her "alone" post-canon, and makes the stakes to protect Ling no matter what even higher!
♦ Falling. That's her big theme! It illustrates her character very well; both in the sacrifices she makes and the way she always stands back up! It's great to use for her psychological development in story as well, with learning to ask for help and rely on others!
♦ I invented a whole OC for the mechanic who installed her automail! I made his dynamic with Lan Fan kinda mirror Ed and Winry's, in the sense that Lan Fan is the one always attempting murder on him lol- ALSO!!!! Methinks Lan Fan deals with chronic pain too, yes yes. We all know how insane she is for getting that arm installed so soon after amputation AND rushing rehabilitation (6 months rather than three years… She's asking for it fr fr)
Yeah that's pretty much it. Share your thoughts if you have them!!!!
I created a whole secret home village to explore all of that lore, and it seems only one of my precious-members-I-love-to-bits is actually reading it, so if you wanna know what I came up with, do give me a reason to ramble about it and ask! ✨
The stuff I came up with may not all feel canon, but I like to think her themes and the fact she's only got Ling left make her character feel way more sympathetic. (We did about the same for Ling aaaaaaa they only got each other now!!!!) Hence why I thought I'd share teehee

'samba music intensifies'
I've been going to a lot of ballroom dance comps lately and I cannot stop imagining my favs dancing along as well. Samba has to be one of my favorite dances and I am dying to learn it. It's just so high energy and most of all it looks so damn fun. I couldn't resist drawing Ed and Winry dancing as well :D
Some more headcanons about the fma crew:
Al likes the contact involved so he likes the standard and nightclub styles best
Ed usually leads but if Winry wants to lead well he's not going to say no, but he is more experienced in leading. The two usually dance Smooth or Latin and they are terrifying in quickstep
Roy only knows nightclub dances until Riza forced him to learn other styles for military events, but he absolutely kills it in West Coast Swing
Riza knows Standard best, though she has less experience in most of the other styles, she's a really good follow and can follow just about anything. She's also a really good lead for Standard and by some extension Smooth
Ling, Lan Fan, and Mei are newer to ballroom dance (sorry guys i may be chinese but idk any chinese dances) but once introduced, well Ling is a diehard for the dramatics and LanFan is usually willing to comply. They start off learning Smooth, while Mei jumps straight into nightclub with Al

Ling for the ask game
sexuality headcanon: i default to bi for most of the teens, and since he flirts with winry a few times as well as whatever hes got going on with ed i see no reason not to make him bi. insert joke about how his heart is big enough to accept ANY gender
however i think you could easily make a case for. probably any other sexuality, also, since so much of his behavior is a front hes putting up intentionally. and also hes 15 and probably hasnt figured it out very definitively himself yet. so if you were to say hes gay or aroace or whatever else id be like 👍 Make's Sense
gender headcanon: i think him being a cis guy informs a lot of his upbringing and position in society and perception of himself so i dont particularly Actively Headcanon him as anything else, but once again i think other interpretations are cool!!
a ship i have with said character: Passive Edling Enjoyer in that i appreciate their antics and clap when i see my friends who ship them make stuff about it but dont actively seek out such content in my free time. im less interested in his love life and more interested in all of the ways he has to be fucked up from being enlisted in the hunger games since birth
a brotp i have with said character: him and lanfans relationship deserved more fleshing out honestly i think there was so much untapped potentjal to see them interacting 1 on 1. like who else is ripping their arms off for each other freshman year of high school. (raises phone to my ear) im being informed that the whole show is about 2 other people who did that
a notp i have with said character:
Tumblr media
a random headcanon: i think that for all his Intentionally Goofy Airs hes probably kind of bad at actually having fun. he was never allowed to be a normal kid, i cant imagine he really knows how to relax and let his guard down and i dont think thats going to change much once he takes the throne. getting to go camping with a fellow teen in the woods for a while was probably one of the more Developmentally Appropriate Socialization Opportunities of his life despite the fact that at the time he was on the run from a foreign government and also being possessed
general opinion over said character: watch that little guy go + fandom does him so dirty + unfortunate that he is yet another uncontested mouthpiece for the idea that simply getting the right head of state in power will basically fix everything that can be fixed about an inherently corrupt system

Headcanon. There is an attack during winry and Ed's wedding, but Riza subdued them before anyone else moves. Lanfan is mid-run to get there, but Riza has already shot them in the legs and everyone else just stares.

Fma texting headcanons
- Ed uses 💀 and 🤡 and 🙃 wayy too much
- Al does key smashes a ton but only with the bottom row. z/.xcbn.cxzmb.z.mxbcz.,xc.b. it’s infuriating
- Winry exclusively uses green hearts, except for 🥰 when she’s ranting about automail
- Ling always uses three exclamation points!!! And makes an effort to spell. everything. wrong. no matter what
- Lanfan exclusively uses a French keyboard for typing in English and a bopomofo keyboard for typing in Chinese because Let My Girl Be A Dork Ok?
- Roy overuses 🔥 and 💪 and 😇. Also, instead of using lmao like a normal person he has to go LOOOL LOL LOL
- Riza loves her 🤦‍♀️ and 😔 and 🔪. She capitalizes all her sentences like a weirdo
- Greed overuses lmfao and yeet and no cap. His most frequently used emojis are 🙃💰🥰😱 and 💸
- Lust LOVES using ❤️ in the most passive aggressive way possible
- (creds to @envyy for this one) Wrath/Fuhrer Bradley is a boomer and starts all his texts with “Dear [name]” and writes whole paragraphs
- Envy inserts a gif into every conversation. They’re a huge fan of tHiS tHiNg and also 👏 passive 👏 aggressive 👏 claps 👏 and use lots of key smashes in all caps AHDJFHADKAHD but they use the middle row like a decent person

On one hand, Fullmetal Alchemist takes place in Fantasy 1910s Europe, and it’s quite likely that homophobia would be a thing. 
On the other hand, I could ignore that completely in favor of writing what I like. I could probably bullshit my way out of it by saying ‘well, the country of Amestris puts such a heavy focus on science that they’re probably chill with it?”. 
On yet a third hand(where am I getting all these hands?), I’m just imagining the most of the cast at a PRIDE Parade. Like, in a ‘we’re all here regardless of death status and have negotiated a truce with the villains for this’ way that can only be achieved when you want ridiculous comedy. 
#fma#really liking that third option#listen I'm half-asleep and maybe sick but I keep imagining it#and it's fucking#beautiful#Ed and Mustang ran into each other and immediately get in a contest to be the most Extra™ with how much Bi merch they can be decked out in#their respective friend groups have given up trying to get them to chill#they're just chilling and talking and complimenting each others' pins/shirts/ect#Ed's group does include Ling Lanfan and Mei though and usually Ling would join in the out-Extra™ contest but he's Pan so too bad#Originally I headcanoned Winry as Bi but I can't resist the *Pan*-sexual pun with Paninya(who is definitely a lesbian)#Speaking of Lesbians Olivier Armstrong shows up casually wearing a lesbian flag over her shoulders and every wlw has a goddamn heart attack#Hughes is very much alive in this scenario and shows up with his wife#and people start to give them shit because they're *straight*#but little Elicia calls anyone out for being rude because obvs her parents are both Bi(and very proud of her for said calling out)#Also I mention the villains because most of the Homunculi show up too because fuck it#Greed is fighting everyone because *Bisexuals aren't *greedy*! I am because I'm Greed and happen to be Bi but that's irrelevant!*#Greed is the Spiders Gerog of the *greedy bisexual* stereotype#Lust is backing him up but also fighting a similar battle about Pansexuality#She is debating about letting Gluttony eat these jackasses#Envy is chilling for once and just watching them go at it#Pride is snagging every merch item that says *pride* on it no matter what flags it has#Wrath is also there but no one knows if it's for himself or to support his family members#I could go on forever but fuck I have things to do

LingFan Week 2017 Day 5: Touch
Huffing a few strands of hair out of her eyes, his mother reached forward and adjusted his shirt so it sat correctly on him instead of the bunched wrinkled way he was wearing it before. “Geez Ling,” she complained. “You have a knack for wearing clothes in such a weird way.”
Ling pouted and crossed his chubby arms over his chest. “It’s not my fault. It’s because I can’t tell what colour everything is. If I knew what colour they were, I could wear them correctly.”
His mother shook her head gently and giggled under hear breath. Such a wild imagination, this boy had.“Well, the colour you’re wearing right now is called yellow. It’s also the same colour as sunshine, bumble bees, sand and daffodils, and you look very handsome in it, my little man,” his mother smiled and leant down, ruffling her six year old’s hair.
He stared at his shirt in awe.
“Yellow?”
His mother grinned.
(13:05): Hey mama, is this jacket yellow??
(13:05): Image attached
(13:07): Yep.
(13:08):The fact you still love yellow is frankly adorable. You’re 17 now!! :D
(13:10): Well, Ed has saved me in his phone as the banana. But still, I want my soulmate to see me in yellow for the first time we see colour!!!
(13:17): Haha, whatever you say Ling, stay safe!!
“Grandfather, Grandfather! Look! I lost a tooth at school today!” A little black haired girl exclaimed, running towards an old man tending a flower patch as she waved a tooth kept in a little plastic baggie in the air above her head.
“My my, Lan Fan. You’re growing up quick,” Fu smiled, standing up and dusting off his clothes.
“Did the chrysanthemums bloom while I was at school?” Lan Fan’s eyes twinkling as she looked at the garden. She knew not of their vibrancy, as all the flowers took on different shades of the same muted grey in her eyes, but she knew her Grandfather loved them so much.
“Not yet, my little orchid. They should start to bloom any day soon though.” He replied, gently stroking his greying mustache, still facing the neat little garden as Lan Fan took up her place beside him. She shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other as Fu’s eyes softened.
“Hey Grandfather, I just wanted to ask, why do you keep this garden?” Fu turns to look at her questioningly and she shakes her hands in front of her defensively, “Ah I mean because you always seem to get fairly sad when you look at that garden but also happy and you look after it everyday and I’m rambling.” Lan Fan’s voice quietened to a squeak the further her ramblings went.
“I keep it in memory of my lost soulmate. I found out who they were, but both our families and Xingese law never allowed us to be together, and forbade it within their borders, punishable by death. My parents arranged a marriage for me, but my soulmate. They… they were executed after the discovery of their partners. They really loved flowers,” Fu turns his gaze back to the blossoms. “You may think that finding your soulmate is going to be magical, but more often than not it’s a road lined with pain.”
Lan Fan’s eyes lowered to the grass by her feet. “Did you love Grandmother?”
“Of course I did. I loved her just as much as I loved your parents and I love you.” Lan Fan seemed to be disheartened by this response. Fu frowns but says no more on the matter. “Come on now, let’s go set up that tooth for the tooth fairy.”
“I’m heading out now Grandfather!” Lan Fan yelled by the door as she stuffed her feet into black slip ons, her textbooks under her arm.
“Stay safe, little orchid.” Fu calls out from the kitchen where he is sitting at the table, a cup of green tea keeping him company. Lan Fan smiles gently at the old man before closing the door behind her.
Lan Fan lives only five minutes by car from her university, but enjoys her morning walk to freshen up and to clear her mind. Besides, if she didn’t walk she wouldn’t be able to meet up with Edward, Winry and Ling at the coffee shop a block from their university, the highlight of her mornings due to Ed’s crude nature and short temper combined with Ling’s outgoing and mischievous persona.
She smiled at Edward and Winry waving at her, the two already sitting at their usual table as she entered the store. The two were childhood friends, so they discovered early in life that they were each other’s soulmate and this allowed their relationship to truly flourish. They were the picture perfect soulmate couple that saturated most rom-coms in cinemas. Due to knowing her soulmate and being able to see all the colours in the world, ones Lan Fan couldn’t see and quite frankly did not want to see; Winry often ‘volunteered’ to sort Lan Fan’s wardrobe and would drag her out shopping constantly whenever Paninya wasn’t available. Lan Fan didn’t mind too much. So long as there was food, it was fine.
Lan Fan sat across from them and tucked her hands into her lap under the table away from sight and reach  just as Ling burst through the door, his hair more unkempt than usual..
“Hey corn-cob, are ya ever gonna wear something that isn’t so bright this early in the morning?”
“I dunno, I probably will when you grow taller.”
“I’M STILL GROWING YOU SLANT EYED FREAK!”
“Edward!”
“Don’t you defend him you machine obsessed gear head!”
“That’s it”
“OW! Winry!”
“You hit me too! That’s no fair!”
Lan Fan laughed so hard tears leaked out her eyes.
“Hey Lan Fan.” Ling smiled widely as he waved at her walking up to him during their lunch hours. On the outside, he was the picture perfect image of confidence and suave; but she knew better after being friends for almost 3 years. He was trying to stop from curling in on himself and rubbing the back of his neck with the hand that wasn’t awkwardly fidgeting in his pocket.
“So. What did you want to see me for? Are you shouting me to lunch again?” Lan Fan grinned at Ling, this would be her fourth spicy tuna roll she wouldn’t have to pay for this week, and she would get to hang out with her closest friend. Win win.
“Well, um, about that. I took you on those lunch dates because I was trying to…um…” Lan Fan’s grin dropped and she stared at him openly. She was certain he was not about to say this to her. Not here, not now, not ever.
“Wow, this is so hard to say. I, um, I wanted to say that… well… Ithinkyou’rereallyprettyandIloveyoupleasegooutwithme!”
After a few seconds to process what was said, Lan Fan reeled and her face flooded red. She didn’t catch everything he said, but she caught enough of the words to piece together what he said. “What!?”
“Please go out with me?”
He really did say it.
Lan Fan took a hesitant step back, then another. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she replied to his request with a simple question, “But what about your soulmate?”
Ling put so much emphasis on his soulmate that seeing him without one would break her heart.
“I don’t care. Why would I waste my life trying to find my soulmate when I have someone as awesome and as beautiful as you right here?”
Lan Fan was shaken, her legs were wobbling and her palms were going clammy. Her breath and pulse quickened. This couldn’t happen, it just couldn’t. Her mind reeled to her Grandfather, left in this world without a soulmate and imagined Ling’s soulmate suffering the same fate. She couldn’t let that happen. So she did the only thing she could think of.
She ran.
She knew Ling was right behind her, she knew Ling was faster, she knew he would try to stop her.
She didn’t know he’d grab her hand.
So this was based of the colourblind soulmates AU, where you cannot see the colour until you touch the hand of your soulmate. These were 4 random snippets of headcanons I had of this AU, so these are in no way in chronological order. Lan Fan is fearful of her soulmate, and doesn’t want to lose them like her grandfather, so she decided not having a soulmate is better and hides her hands. Ling is vibrant as usual so no change there. This all takes place in a modern AU. Also I chose to have the outfits be saturated in colour and very contrasting and bright to emphasize the feeling of gaining sight or something. The last scene takes place before the gif.

Thank you so much sir
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT YOU ARE REALLY TALENTED AND I REALLY LIKE YOUR HEADCANONS BTW
Can you please Try to do some lanfan headcanons as much as you can AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASEEEE💗💗
HIIII thank u for liking my hcs!! i love them so naturally i think about them all the time 🥰🥰
lan fan hc’s:
i saw this one post on fullmetal-headcanon that said izumi, roy, and lan fan are all actually related by blood from the same mother but none of them are aware of it and i really like cultural hcs that tie everybody together so i like that one a lot
she actually doesn’t really like tea even though it’s a staple of xingese culture
she always smells like the flower for which she is named
she learns to finesse her control in her automail arm by peeling carrots and she is way better at it than roy because she is not a complete loser
i also really like the hc that xingese is a language with a lot of different dialects and i feel like lan fan would speak a southern dialect for the lulz

Hello I really like your posts
Hello do you have any ideas for fullmetal alchemist brotherhood headcanons I can use in my posts if you do please message me right away!
Women are attracted to Roy because despite how he seems he grew up with a dozen or so adopted sisters. Hes also only ever been serious about riza.
Al will never tell ed what a hell living in the suit of armor was. He thinks his brother already carries around too much weight on his shoulders.
Neither Elric is good at cooking despite being super smart. They keep trying to compare it to alchemy and cant view it as it's own art
Olivia is some sort of sapphic, and while shes a top still with women she acts like Hugh's towards any woman she dates.
Winry accidentally becomes a certified doctor. No one knows how, she just passed some exam easily while waiting for ed and al to do something
Ling when he becomes emperor marries lanfan and takes her as his only wife. It goes against tradition and statehood but ling doesnt care.
Mey teaches winry martial arts after moving to amestris despite living in times of peace. Winry was used as a weapon against ed and al too much to be comfortable not being able to defend herself.
Jerzo and zopano do eventually become fully human again. Darius and heinkel dont, they like their animal forms and abilities
Al eventually becomes known as the best alchemist alive, when its mentioned in his presence though al always corrects the speaker saying his brother is the best alchemist, even if ed cant do alchemy anymore.

Ling Yao for the character ask?He's my fave!
nice!
How I feel about this character: dumb hungry gay clown. love him
All the people I ship romantically with this character: uh... ed and lanfan? idk that’s probably it
My non-romantic OTP for this character: greed and also ed and lan fan again
My unpopular opinion about this character: honest to g-d has no idea what he’s doing. no braincells whatsoever
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: kinda woulda liked to see what happened when he brought a stone back to xing tbh
my OTP: ling x food
my cross over ship: none
a headcanon fact: after leaving gluttony’s stomach, he decides to try and design edible shoes. it does not work.

((I love how I start rewatching 03 and IMMEDIATELY start remembering all of my headcanons
like I may prefer 03 HEAVILY but I love a lot of the brotherhood characters: Olivier and the Briggs group, (greed)Ling, Lanfan and Fu (Hoenheim being a philosopher’s stone)...stuff like that, and I remember that I went OUT OF MY WAY to make a mixed canon, yes it’s basically still 03, but with my favourite aspects of Brotherhood.
I even thought up a way for an 03 version of Greedling to happen! And it’s not even THAT farfetched))

Gosh, that's glorious. The fact that they sleep in the same bed is cute, too.
I am headcanoning that one day an assassin tries to get in to have a go at Ling and the next thing Roy knows he’s getting a call from Al that’s like ‘don’t freak out, but someone tried to break into the house and kill Ling and just ended up pissing off Ed, but the MPs are here’
the whole sleeping in the same bed thing breaks him mentally when he sees Ling and Ed together, and Ed’s looking particularly thunderous, only softening when Ling leans over to press a kiss to his soulmark, murmuring that he’s okay.
ironically, Roy actually likes Ling, bc when he first meets him, he’s just Ling Yao, Lanfan’s cousin, he’s no one special, and the whole house speaks in Xingese and Fu helps make classic Xingese food that reminds Roy of his mom, and Ed eases up around Ling and smiles more, especially when he kisses him, he always makes time for Al and helps him when he feels like he’s struggling with things. Ling is a really great guy, the whole being a prince thing is kinda an afterthought when it comes out
