Also while I’m at it. Father. Dwarf in the flask. My dude. You could have solved so many more problems if you’d just sweet-talked Hohenheim into hosting you somehow. The man is demonstrably chill with weirder shit than that, you could’ve gotten out of your jar and maybe learned to be less of a dick, and a whole civilization wouldn’t have had to get vored. You played yourself man
Also while I was running I also watched FMA:B episode 8 and Barry mcfucking kills a guy to “prove” to Alphonse thats all he needs to feel alive and Holy Shit what I mean is the Elrics kinda got that guy killed like. If Ed and Al hadn’t snuck in then Barry wouldnt have killed that guy. Al watched a guy get his cranium meat-cleavered how did this not fuck him up?
And like okay in the broad scheme of things Ed and Al used their info to like. Stop the Promised Day. But did they NEED the info from the Fifth Lab? I dont think so. Maybe it helped with homunculi identification but where did that really get them in the end?
Anyway what I mean is Ed and Al snuck out and a guy got killed because of it and no one mentions this so
RIP In Peace meat-cleavered security guard guy.
Ed and Al: “Our actions got Lt Colonel Hughes killed….god….god we’re monsters….god how can we ever make this right….?”
AND YET THEY JUST FORGET MEAT-CLEAVER GUY., ALL IM SAYING. HAVE SOME PERSPECTIVE BOYS. GOD.
i really cant get over how in episode two of fmab they like straight up just show us that ed basically met the closest being-like thing to god and then. then in literally the next episode hes like. yeah. yeah im an atheist
truth to ed in fmab ep2: i am what you call the world, or perhaps the universe, or perhaps god, or perhaps truth, or perhaps all, or perhaps one, and i am also you.
ed in fmab ep3:
Ed decided that God was a lil bitch and he just wasn’t going to endorse that.
