I think people tend to overlook Al's struggles. Just because you can't see it, just because his demeanor is typically shown to be that of a happy child; He is suffering damn near if not worse than Ed.
He got his body stripped from him, he can't preform daily tasks that humans need to do to even feel a semblance of normalcy. He doesn't need to breathe, eat, sleep, he can't show emotion, he can't cry, he can only piolit the vessel of which his soul is encased in.
He doesn't blame Ed, I find that very clear. I think, similar to how Ed blames himself for all of this occurring, that Al blames himself for being in this predicament. He believes it's his fault for not saying no to Ed, to not telling him that it was a bad idea. Al also probably feels guilt for not being able to remember much about Trisha and before the human transmutation that led him to be bonded to the armor.
At the end of the day they were both grieving children who longed for one of the only people in their life who loved them. They both did something that changed their lives forever and they're both struggling to com to terms with that in their own ways. They're even struggling to try and solve this problem, with constant research and leads when Ed joins the military.
Anyway that's my TED talk, I'm gonna explode now.
Fullmetal Alchemist Gaiden/Side Story- Nagaiyo/Long Night by Hiromu Arakawa
I know I reblogged a post of this story once, but I could not find it in my tags and it was very hard to find it via google (but I did!). It was also never officially translated or made available in the US. So I decided I’d just do a new post and properly tag it.
This is a very sweet and heartwrenching little story everyone should have a chance to enjoy. These kids are the best family.
can I mention I adore the doodles of mini blob Al you do. they fill me with lots of giddy joy
THANK YOU IM GLAD YOU LIKE THEM!!!
I got this as soon as I woke up so naturally, I drew you some more Al doodles!
There you go, be filled with more giddy joy:)
abt the hand itch post u reblogged i bet ed would also use like, an edge of his automail arm or leg perhaps. i bet the way worse thing would be the phantom itches tho, and i wonder if the automail presents its own issues since the nerves are connected? idk the silly post got me thinking dhdhd
Absolutely; Or consider he uses a table corner. Aggressively, just like scratching his hand against it and whoevers around is just like "Uh what the hell is wrong with this kid?"
I think he'd still get phantom pains/feelings because he still can't *feel* the automail. His nerves are connected in the sense of controlling, there's no nerves throughout the automail to contain feeling and pain; Therefore most likely he'd still get those phantom pains.
What I'm unsure about is Al, like he doesn't have a nervous system and all that in the armor; But does he get phantom pains or feelings? I also wonder if he can feel when the armor is groaning against something (e.x. water pressure.) Due to his soul inhabiting the armor. Would his soul feel the pressure?
But real on the thinking, I'm always thinking in this sorta sense; Feel free to ask more questions like this bc they're silly!!!!!!
My finished graduation cap!!! :)
It took me around 12 fucking hours though. My hand hurts.
Fma (either one) where everything's the same but when Al's in the armor he just sounds like the pink trombone.
I rest my case
Ok so I'm loosing motivation again for tonight so I got some sketches for the Al centric AU I was talking about with his soul inhibiting a plush or stuffed animal rather than the suit of armor. Yes, it's impractical for the plot or whatever; But I think it's silly so I will be silly.
This isng a ref sheet or anything, it's just some random doodles that came to mind before I said fuck it and gave up.
I'm gonna call this AU "plush al au" in the tags, just a heads up.
The place where I put the blood seal is temporary until I either figure something else out or whatever. Idk yet, this AU is very early stages.
Man I'm imagining 2003/CoS Al meeting the Brotherhood Elrics and being like what the FUCK do you mean you just gave up alchemy and everything was fine??
HE'D PROBABLY BE FUCKING LIVID ; CoS/2003 Ed would just be so done, not angry just - fuck hold on let me draw it.
Shinji posed. Ft. Alcohol for my favorite lil alcoholic.
But oh yeah CoS/2003 Al would probably react either verbally or physically violent. I don't hold that above him.
been fuckn around n redrawing memes
