Hohenheim. we all know him. we all love/hate him. bro has HALF A MILLION souls in him in canon. he BEFRIENDED THEM ALL. someone on ao3 referred to it as his unmoderated discord channel and I agree. its practically a twitch chat at that point.
ok but my point is. he has kids. two. two kids. how does one make kids? good o' bedroom action.
THINK ABOUT IT. he did the deed TWICE with over half a million souls watching him. I am speechless. this man. this guy. I can't.
I think we are way too chill about Lan Fan. "She's sixteen. She cut off her own arm and waded through dirty sewers right after.

She took on not one, not two, but THREE immortal beings and came out alive from every encounter. She cut off her own arm. She blew up a town in her first appearance. She blushed a lot. She cut off her own arm. She was the key to a more important character accomplishing his goal. She was arguably the most loyal character out of a giant cast of hyperloyal characters. She cut off her own arm.
