Ed being a good guy and deciding he needs to stretch right after Nina tells him her sob story.

Hughes having family photos on his desk is so fucking wholesome.

do LOVE that they edited Al's voice to have a metallic tin. Which is v good.

"Daddy says he's going to play with Alex and me tomorrow!" - NIna.

FUCKI NO

NO NO NO

BIG BROTHER ED.

Watched all the versions of shou tucker being an abomination.

now to continue the show.

but the beauty of this show not just having realistic villains and multifaceted heros.

but also to not ignore the severe depravity of a world like this. and to show how that shit actively effects the children main characters and how they're allowed to cry but warned that this is only the tip of depravity

ed's actually pain in hearing that nina is dead.

and Hawkeye being the best and putting her foot down and refusing to allow the children to see nina's dead body

and them focusing on the trauma done to the children during the uprising in liore is v good.

i love envy

envy is canon nonbinary.

he/him pronouns, female voice actor.

I know Scar is actually good.

but that doesn't mean that I'm not always on fucking edge during their initial fight when Scar almost kills Ed like 5 times.

Ed legitimately looks like a child when Scar destroys his arm.

the moment of humor for Mustang failing to use his alchemy in rain is very very needed for Ed laying down and agreeing to die.

Armstrong is needed to remove the actual pain of literally watching Ed look like a child and roll over to die.

oh yeah, FMA also tried its best to have a longterm conversation about war crimes, how war leads to racism, and the pain to the refugees that were destroyed in the middle of it all. and how the hate that they have to their oppressors is understandable

Hughes: this is why he wouldn't fucking eat. Why the fuck didn't you tell me Roy?

Roy: whooooooops

"oooh great, and now my arm's come off because my brother's a big, fat idiot!"

and then back to serious about how genocide is traumatic as fuck.

and a moment of Ed's immaturity in how he can't understand the pain of the colonized.

Luckily, he changes right after being on friendly terms with Scar.

but ooooooof

love that in the manga, it is confimred that Shou Tucker is the only person who went to hell.

literally even the homonculi went to heaven

something that's great about this anime starting after the full manga was done are the MOTHERFUCKING ALLUSIONS that they are able to do.

ed is so tiny next to armstrong.

Al with the sheep. :)))))

god, ed without his arm just hits me how TINY he is before he starts to gain weight.

eating for fucking 2

god, the fact that his slight size is actually a fucking plot point and not just to make jokes is so fucking good.

PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS

GOD I LOVE ARMSTRONG

Maroh's pain is so fucking valid. Seeing Ed be in such a shitty place.

Ed is such a good kid.

Poor Marcoh

Awwwww Winry timeeee

Armstrong meeting the family is the funniest shit.

Ed lying about his pain and what's going on to keep Winry innocent.

because he doesn't want to have his home tainted by his fuckery.

also always forget that Ed is a disabled character until he does his adjustments.

GOOD DOGGO GOING TO TRISHA'S GRAVE WITH ED

Armstrong learning about Ed's upbringing after accidentally being too glib about Ed's strength.
