i think edward elric entire military experience can be summarized as john mulaney’s “horse loose in the hospital” bit

there is a CHILD ALCHEMIST LOOSE IN THE STATE MILITARY!

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE CHILD IS GOING TO DO, LEAST OF ALL THE CHILD!

HE’S NEVER BEEN IN THE MILITARY BEFORE!

They interviewed a man who once saw a baby in a restaurant.

WE’VE ALL SEEN A BABY IN A RESTAURANT!!!

THIS IS A CHILD. LOOSE IN THE MILITARY.

And then, for a second, it seemed like maybe we could survive the child,
and then, 5 miles under the capital city, an evil homunculus was like, “I have a huge transmutation circle and I’m going to kill everyone to become god!” And before we could say
anything, the child was like, “If you even fucking look at Amestris,
I will punch you to death with my fists. I dare you to do it. I want
you to do it. I want you to do it so I can take my unresolved daddy issues out on you, I’m
so fucking crazy.”

The scariest days are when you don’t hear from the child AT ALL

Partial list of people Edward Elric attacked, roughly in order: Religious cult leader, owner of a mine town, a secret government research facility, leader of a petty street gang who happened to be an “invincible” homonoculus, a serial killer hunting state alchemists, minor royalty visiting from a foreign country, another state alchemist (Kimblee), his own military.

AU where the reason Shimura Nana and Midoriya Inko look alike isn’t because of narrative conveniences or that they’re secretly related.

It’s because they’re clones.

#I’m not saying orphan black au#actually no that’s exactly what I’m saying 

It doesn’t happen when Izuku finally lets Inko know during idle chatter when he’s home for a weekend, that according to All Might, she bears a strong resemblance to his deceased mentor. And maybe it’s because he’s in another room, doesn’t notice Midoriya Inko freeze for a few moments

It doesn’t happen when Gran Torino nearly loses his footing the first time he meets Izuku’s mother because the resemblance is uncanny. It’s chalked up to a coincidence.

It doesn’t happen when Eri spots Midoriya Inko and mumbles out a confused jumble of words under her breath, that if Aizawa was paying closer attention too, would’ve been, “Mama?”

It doesn’t happen when a missing or dead woman without an identity kicks up multiple hits in the system for various others: missing, dead, and still alive. It’s wiped from the system the next moment. It’s not the first time it’s happened, and it won’t be the last. The cop who tries to kick up a fuss about it, suddenly just, stops. Just like every other cop or doctor or concerned authority who’s found something fishy and bothered to look stops.

It doesn’t happen when Todoroki notices that one of the new nurses taking care of his mother looks a lot like Midoriya.

It doesn’t happen because of some new villain attack or the debut of a new villain, or vigilante. (If someone were to look, they would find a strange pattern of records of all villains or vigilantes bearing a similar resemblance missing. Further digging would lead to locked government files.)

No, it happens like this: Asui Tsuyu notices that her younger sister’s new homeroom teacher looks very similar to Midoriya Izuku. Like Todoroki, Tsuyu also dismisses it as coincidence. Unlike Todoroki she actually mentions it to Izuku during dinner at the dorms. This in itself would not be something noteworthy, except Hagakure and Satou overhear it and jump in. And that catches Kaminari’s attention and suddenly, half the class (or that’s what it feels like) is exchanging stories about having met or run into people – mostly women – who bear a strong resemblance to Izuku. Todoroki finally brings up the new nurse. Kouda signs about the cashier at the shop near his house. Ashido mentions her old babysitter. Shouji talks about one of his caseworkers.

Kaminari mentions how it’s funny that despite what someone would assume are unique features, there are a lot of people who look similar to one Midoriya Izuku.

He means it as a joke.

That’s before Ashido shows them the picture on her phone. Sometime during the conversation she’s texted her mother and her mother has sent back a picture. Izuku goes unnaturally quiet against the cacophony of noise of his classmates, as he stares at the woman holding a toddler Ashido in a onesie. There’s things such as a similar resemblance, and then there’s there’s this. Izuku stares at someone who’s identical to his mother. The same eyes, the same hair, the same smile.

“Midoriya?” Iida’s hand is on his shoulder. Izuku snaps out of it to several pairs of worried glances. Shouji and Kouda are both frantically talking – signing in Kouda’s case – about how the women are not similar, they just look similar. Shouji adds that he was young so he may be misremembering his caseworker. But no matter how much they backtrack it’s obvious they too are a little shellshocked by the picture on Ashido’s phone.

Just why do so many people have his mother’s face?

The thing about Harry Potter as a character is that he is insanely observant when he actually cares enough to pay attention. Meaning 90% of the stuff he deems unimportant flies over his head, but he makes these huge leaps of logic and intuition when he bothers to focus. Like in the books when it comes to anything relating to Voldemort or Death Eaters or People Not To Be Trusted (Draco, Umbridge). Growing up, he had to be able to see when a situation was going south long before the frying pan or Dudley’s fists came his way. But he also had to be able to ignore and tune out the constant flow of shit and neglect he was treated to.

If you think about it, for all the better aspects of Hogwarts, it still followed this same basic pattern. He had to pay close attention to the things trying to kill him (even classes took a back seat to this), but find a way to ignore and not acknowledge all the rumors and staring and people thinking he’s a prat or the heir of slytherin or a liar. I think this is why the arguments that Harry is a mushroom and notices nothing, and the arguments that he is deductively brilliant can exist side by side. He’s both. It’s also why, in my opinion, he tends to be ridiculously observant of Ginny once he starts to notice her as something important. She barely exists in the early narrative other than Someone to Be Saved. It’s also why Ginny can sometimes feel like she ‘comes from nowhere’ in the narrative. As far as Harry is concerned, she did come from nowhere. The switch in Harry’s brain went from Doesn’t Matter–Ignore to Very Important–Pay Close Attention, and BAM, there she was. Everywhere.
