Lil Warm Up Sketches I Did Today, I Will Probably Draw More Later Or Tomorrow!

Lil warm up sketches I did today, I will probably draw more later or tomorrow!

(The creature is the Chimera! Ed AU I was procrastinating on lol.)

I'm gonna draw them h*ld*ng h*nds.. Very scandalous I know.

Jokes aside I agree with this 100%. They're very silly. Or the polycule ship or Paninya, Lanfan, and Winry; I've seen that ship and I'm in no, I think the term is qualms?, about it.

In light of this post I may actually draw Lanfan and Winry, idk yet. I've never doodled Lanfan before.

gahhh it's 5am I don't think I an gonna sleep. but anyways I see so much edling and thats nice and dandy and all I think you guys are really missing out on lanfan and winry. like god they would get along so well. kiss even. alphonse said himself that lanfan would get along with the rockbells super well. winry is gonna wanna look at her automail. I think you guys should think about them more often yk. yuri to the yaoi or something. I just think they could kiss you have to admit I'm right

once i watched fullmetal alchemist i started to find references for it in just about every fandom i've ever been in, no matter how obscure the fandom is

Thinking about how Edward and Ling are probably just as touch starved as each other, but in like, vastly different ways.

With Edward- based off what I can tell- the only people he knew he could be physically affectionate with in any way, was his mother and Alphonse.

(Not to say Winry and Pinako aren’t affectionate with the boys, but I feel like being physically affectionate isn’t something that comes naturally to either of them. They seem like they prefer acts of service as a way of showing how much they care more than anything, and I think that’s wonderful! Even after the Elric brothers pretty much decided to kiss their hometown goodbye, the relationship they have with the Rockbells is still strong enough to where they know they can rely on them for anything, which is very important.)

But it really sucks, because their mom is long gone, and Alphonse, while he’s still around, no longer has a body. He’s a soul bound to a suit of armor, and he can’t feel anything. And I’m sure that Alphonse is still as physically affectionate with Edward as he can be with the body he has, but the unfortunate truth of the matter is, that if he isn’t careful, he might accidentally injure Edward. And I’m sure that terrifies him more than anything. Alphonse is so kind, gentle and loving, and the idea of hurting his brother by accident, or otherwise would devastate him. So he keeps Edward at arms’ length, just so he doesn’t get hurt.

Whereas with Ling, there isn’t much about his background that we know canonically (that I can recall- if any of you know something, feel free to add on), but considering the fact that he was conceived by the emperor and a noblewoman for the sole purpose of being a potential heir to the throne, and nothing else, I don’t think his childhood was filled with much genuine affection.

I’m sure he was treated well, but there’s a difference between actual love and care for a child, and the pretty much forced respect for the potential heir to a throne. His days were filled with constant training and education to prepare him to run a country, and typically with characters like him, they usually are fed some sort of BS akin to “showing/receiving affection is a form of weakness,” and “don’t get attached to anyone, or you’ll lose everything”. Stuff like that. And not to project headcanons onto a character that no one has seen in canon, but I’m sure Ling’s mother saw her son as more of a way to get more power, than an actual family member. Again, could be wrong, but considering the fact that the emperor produces heirs by just… going to the “best” noble families of each clan in his kingdom to ensure his bloodline is “pure” or some shit, that blatant disregard for family is probably the norm for anyone in power in Xing.

And I know that Lan Fan and Fu do genuinely love and care for Ling, but at the end of the day, they’re his bodyguards. Their relationship is purely professional, and they all know that if they overstep those boundaries, that could spell the end for them. They have to keep him at arms’ length to ensure their survival.

Basically, what I’m saying is, Ling has probably never received a sincere hug his entire god damn life.

So, I’m just thinking that the first time they hug or hold hands or some shit, they’re both so nervous, because Edward hasn’t been held in so long, and Ling doesn’t know what to expect, but then they both just melt into each other.

TL;DR: Ed and Ling share the same amount of touch-starvation, but physical affection was ripped away from Edward, and Ling was never provided any to begin with. They should clearly join forces.

I'm glad! Hope the rest of your day is nice as well </>

I keep seeing your YJ x FMA AU on my timeline and I absolutely love it tbh; I also have read some of your works on ao3 pretty sure! I like your works, and your art! Idk what else to say I just thought I'd say this at some point:)

SBDHENDUSJW THANK YOU. That means the world to me, omg. This ask made my morning after I overslept <3

I keep seeing a lot of “modern au” Edward ideas where people completely erase his disability by replacing his prosthetics with tattoos, so here’s a new headcanon I have:

Modern Au Edward would slap stickers on his prosthetics. I mean like little skulls or gargoyle stickers he bought off red bubble or something, and you know he stuck em on there good. Winry definitely yells at him every time she notices he’s slapped another one on there.

I do also think Ed would have tattoos, but replacing BOTH of his prosthetics with tattoos just erases his disability
