Fandoms From Afar

1) put that guy into situations

I remember not being sure whether I wanted to laugh or cry when I watched this scene the very first time xD

I love how clearly Riza's emotions are visible here when she hears about Roy's loss of sight for the very first time. It affects her deeply, and she doesn't try to hide it, almost overwhelmed by it as she tells him to worry about himself. And even though they're surrounded by, I'd say, around ten people, it feels as though the two of them are in their own little bubble.

… and then Roy interrupts her, thus ruining Riza's pretty clear intention of touching his hand/face!! 😭 I know he's blind, and I know he couldn't have known she was lifting her hand towards his face, but mannnn. I really wanted to yell at him to shut up and let her do her thing xD

all the self-loathing in the world won’t change a thing (‘cause you can’t go back, darling)

Esdras Al-Ridha is born in 1899, in his mother’s family home. His birth certificate, when it’s written a month later by Dr. Yuriy Rockbell, will declare his name Edward Elric. It will name his mother Trisha, and it will say nothing of her white hair. It will say nothing of the blue desert sky he first opens his eyes under, the way he is passed to relative after relative and is held and blessed by each. (Even before the war, tensions are high, and hatred is brewing. Tirzah holds her newborn son, with eyes as gold as his father’s, and pale-sun hair halfway there, and she decides that if Ishvala wants him hidden, then Tirzah will not brand him where his genes have not.)
