adding on to my fma religion post: ed purposely refuses to believe in god, but the way he transmutes is by clapping his hands together, so it always looks like he’s praying.

mm smth about religion and christianity in fma. something about the ultimate taboo and the original sin both being somebody seeking out knowledge deemed beyond them. something about ed achieving an almost prelapsarian state once he revokes his alchemy (forbidden knowledge), regaining his arm and his brother. smth smth the fullmetal heart is a postlapsarian state that has achieved grace yet nonetheless is still marked by the sins of the past. yes?

biggest pet peeve is when someone who thinks of themself as being hella woke fails at lvl 1 wokeness. idc that you have green hair and pronouns, you make fun of unhoused people
