Fma Truth - Tumblr Posts

Personally I'm on the side of it being the correct choice for Ed, since his excessive trust in the power of alchemy was what led him to attempt human transmutation. Sure, everyone who willingly attempts it is, in doing so, overestimating alchemy's power, but they don't all have that as a core motive the way Ed did. For someone like Izumi, I feel like she only believed alchemy could do that because she had a more pressing emotional reason to believe it. She wanted it to be true. Ed had this too, obviously, but I feel like he would still have believed it possible even if Trisha never died.

if Izumi Curtis were to give up her gate for her womb back or whatever, could she have children again? Would she be able to accept life without alchemy the way Edward has and be willing to do it? would she be even able too? im assuming if you want to like "untrade" whatever you lost when you committed human transmutation you can just give up your gate. pretty sure Truth said it was the "correct" answer but the "correct" choice could be a universal answer or it could be correct just for Edward's circumstance.

if it is universal and if she wanted to be a mother that much I would think she would do it. but that's just a thought.

For writing purposes (and mine own curiosity) what do you think Truth (FMA/B) is?

I think Truth is simultaneously a contradiction and not. It explains that It is All and One, the Universe, God, You, Me, Itself, and Everything. My mind takes that a bit further.

In my mind, Truth is All and Nothing, Black and White, Good and Evil, Space and Time, Everywhere and Nowhere, Me and You and Itself while also not being Anything but also being Everything.

Truth is a not-being that is All Powerful and yet completely Powerless. It represents humans' wants and fears.

Truth is All. Truth is Nothing.

Truth is the law all humans abide by, but It is also the law all humans ignore.
