Yeah Give Ed A Lil Snake!!! (might Not Be What I Said But He Deserves A Lil Friend)

Yeah give Ed a lil snake!!! (might not be what I said but he deserves a lil friend)

I'm glad you like the eyes, I've never been good with eyelashes but they're a reoccurring theme I see in your art so I thought I'd do him justice by giving him eyelashes.

Also no problem! I'm happy you like it!:)

Did a lil lineart sketch of your lmk au Ed; Thought it'd be silly to add a lil python too

But here you go :)

HEJHVBWGNW I JUST GOT THIS NOTIFICATION HOLD ON. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD

MY BOY!!! IT'S MY BOY!!! The eyes turned out SO COOL and the snake!! You're absolutely right Ed should have a pet snake in this au (that's not what you said but it's canon now, thanks). God this is so. SO SD,VJNWJVN W. I LOVE IT DUDE THANK YOU

I think Riza Hawkeye should be bald.

That's it, that's the post.

That's what I was going for! Though I mainly used your art for reference, you made it look warm there. :)

Also that's very silly, I like that; Ed's like that one thing that's like "awe I think [she] likes me" and the thing's just biting frantically. I forget where that's from but it just popped in my head. Ed is just silly, I like how you have him in your works!

I personally drew a pied python bc I own one! Very docile guy, his name's Silly.

This is true however you can never truly right those wrongs in terms of genocide and the mass extermination of a race. There will forever be long lasting impacts for generations to come.

It's true that good people can do terrible things, especially in this sense, but that doesn't make it ok or excuse their actions. What done was done and nothing can truly fix the past, sure, and what you need to do is keep moving foreward to right what you did wrong or what others are doing wrong, yeah; But no matter what, your actions will have consequences. Whether those consequences happen right away or later on, whether they happen in small ways to you or greater ways; There will always be consequences.

For such things as genocide and mass extermination of a race, for indulging in it, that makes you a terrible person. Regardless of if you were forced to or not.

Or at least this is my humble opinion, it's part of the reason I don't like the militaristic characters in fma.

The garlic brothers bc @elricmetal said someone should draw it

I'll try to have the other drawing done tonight

Chimera Ed au thoughts:

- Ed's disguise (to not be seen as a chimera) might be comprised of the left over pieces of 48/the slicer brothers ; Because I think they would weigh on Ed's conscious like Nina and so he uses the remains of their armor to carry around like reminders (like his pocket watch!)

- Ed's automail arm is too big for him due to Winry only understanding how to make the design for humans and hasn't advanced to animals (I think Pinako did Den's automail, and she knows how important Ed's automail is to Winry due to it being her first design and all. Plus Ed would probably want some semblance of normalcy.)

- Ed isn't agressive in his chimera state, more skittish and protective of himself in a sense. He is reduced to a prey animal mindset, this can't be forgotten. So he sees humans as threats, front facing eyes and all are common traits of predatory animals, and is commonly skittish of them. Ed is also more dull in terms of emotion unless you count high feeling emotions (fear is a common one but overstimulation, sadness, and happiness are all there too.) Dull in the sense of he experiences less complex emotions, this is part of the reason why he won't be allowed to be shipped with other characters. In other words, his aggression is more fear than sass.

- Like Nina was thought to be, Ed is in constant pain; His bones aren't right and they feel wrong in his body, as does his organs, tongue, and certain nerves. So his senses in terms of touch is heightened and diluted in certain areas. His hips, left collarbone, left shoulder bone, and right femur are all fucked up due to having the ports still attached to his body during the transmutation. He walks funny, and speaking of walking he both can walk like a quadped and a biped; Both cause him some level of pain though, especially walking like a biped.

- While Ed has the appearance of an armadillo, he still has humanic or ape like attributes in term of bone structure and whatnot; I don't know how to better explain currently.

- Ed's eyes are still faintly golden, but they still have white cataracts like Nina's eyes. So his sight isn't that good; But his taste, smell, and somewhat hearing are what he has to go off of for the most part.

- Since Havoc is the one to find him, Ed sticks close to Havoc (As well as Al of course but Al causes him to get confused sometimes, he can't sense him that well if that makes sense.) but that being said, Havoc's cigarette smell makes him feel sick.

- Al, although he knows it's wrong, treats Ed more like a cat at first. Because he's a little kid, what do you expect the 13 or so year old to do?

- Greed, much like FMA 03 Greed, hears about Ed and tries to find him to have him join him; Not only to get him out of sight of the homunculi looking for him, but also to just have another team Greed (Devil's Nest) member.

- Ed has speech issues, and therefore typically is silent not only out of pride but also because he thinks he can be badass by just being quiet during fights. He learns certain, one handed signs; Mostly cussing, I wonder who taught him that.

That's it, that's all I got so far.

I'm working on Ed's ref sheet currently, I don't know when it'll be done but hopefully soon. As well as the comic.

I will be writing it out on AO3, I know I will, and once I do I'll be posting that here too.

Soon, I promise.
