Cue phainon "i will never bow down to this idea of fate, 33,550,336 cycle this bitch" khaslana going toe to toe with the dragons not bc he hates them but bc he just wants them to live in peace damn it, no terrorizing the soft squishy humans! Where is dan Heng he's the new earth titan right he needs to help phainon corral these assholes.

Unfortunately the dragons think he is a usurper even though he was here first?? Bitch?? Dragons are also excellent at holding grudges so unfuckingfortunately for phainon he is stuck with their anger for another good few millennia.

And THEN a few millennia in gods start fighting over territory and fucking up the humans AGAIN and phainon has to think of a way to stop them, but hes also at the end of his rope and decides, fuck it, ill install the gods who love humans so BADLY they'll do essentially what i did to come out on top of this and THATS why the archon war starts. Phainon's criteria is literally "which one of you fuckers care about humanity enough to fight for it?

Barbatos is fairly simple—that little guy fought against his nature and fought for freedom. Easy enough. God, why does everyone think its a fluke? Phainon ADORES the concept of freedom and what barbatos represents! Imagine if they had that kind of titan back on amphoreus....well okay hyacine clutched st the end BUT IF THEY HAD SOMEONE LIKE BARBATOS MAYBE HIS PARTNERS WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SHOT DOWN THE SKY. Imagine that!

Morax was slightly complicated....it was meant to go to haagentus but morax does strictly adhere to contracts so it should be fine....right? Right. Right.

Baal was a no brainer. Understanding the concept of transience was so important. Phainon thinks back to how slowly aglaea lost her humanity and thinks, yes. Understanding the transience of all life is absolutely necessary.

He thought the three god kings were neat, it was rather unfortunate two of them went so early, there went his plans of making two extra gnoses. But buer was fine

Egeria had a lot of love for humanity and justice that phainon nearly gave her the spot immediately

Xbalanque and natlan was so reminiscent of his times with mydei. Secretly phainon's favorite place was natlan.

And the tsar...phainon wonders if cyrene had a hand in it. Love, shown with ice. Hmmmmmmmm.

There's also that godless nation but phainon doesnt really care? Professor Anaxa would have been thrilled.

Of course things go to shit bc as much as phainon has duties to lvoe and care for humanity, humanity is...flawed. Rhinedottir releases her hounds, the five sinners asborb the abyss, and phainon and his shades are forced to do clean up. Man.

Phainon had to sleep after bc he was genuinely near crashing the fuck out and when he wakes up—HUH? Wdym the thrones changed? Phainon is missing SO much conrext.

Instead you ask for the "03 Ed passes out from seeing a corpse because it reminds him so much of the mutilated body he and Al created just a few months ago" special because that drink is unironically light by comparison

had to redraw this comic as greed

the circumstances of greed 2.0's birth are a little unusual as it is, what with ling willingly accepting greed. but then we go a more typical route with greed completely taking over ling's body (or so we think in the moment), ed doing the expected "nooooo i know you're still in there!!!" speech, and greed vehemently denying this. we're led to believe that there's probably going to be some sort of push&pull relationship between greed and ling vying for dominance, possibly ending with them teaming up. but obviously, that'll take a while, right? RIGHT?

well yes but actually no because. BECAUSE. the very next episode, greed shows up to deliver a message from ling to edward.

now think about the logistics of this for a second. greed presumably listened to the voice in his head (that is NOT supposed to be there btw bc human-based homunculi are supposed to eliminate and replace the human soul in the vessel, like with wrath/king bradley) begging him to write out a message in a language (xingese) he does not know and deliver it to the guy (edward elric) currently being hunted down by his boss/pseudo-father.

does he know what the message is?? nope!! it could've been literally anything under the sun---how to make lasagna! how to vaporize a homunculus!---but he has no clue what it means because it's in xingese. also, how exactly did he write it? did ling just flash pictures in his head until he could copy them down in a legible manner? is that why it looks like dogshit? and why on earth would he write it in what looks like blood?? to fuck with ed??? to fuck with lan fan???? was this written by ling before he acquired greed, and greed is just delivering it later???

whatever the case, it's utterly absurd that greed chooses to blindly (arrogantly....or perhaps naively.........) believe that no harm could possibly come from trusting the guy in his head.

who, again, IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

and then he just fucks off. no questions for the elric brothers, no threats, no posturing. he's done doing the thing ling asked him to do so he just......leaves.
