Welcome to the dragon cave

fellas is it gay to let your friend sleep over and then bring him to the kamo river early in the morning so he can see dragons

(I just noticed too how the sun is shining directly onto Hiromasa and is passing by Seimei as he mostly stands in the shadows)

"You don't need to be worried here anymore."

Can u tell which seen affected me as a person

All human wisdom is contained in these words

got a little bit bored and did this

And this leaves open the door for hope. Instead of the tragedy of trying to escape fate and failing, the story can be about submitting to fate and being saved. Not always. Sometimes the story is that you meet your fate, but you died doing the right thing. But sometimes, refusing to take the selfish action, refusing to run means that something beyond the expectations of human reality can intervene and save you. Either way, you end the story as a hero, instead of as a victim or a villain.

You can't be willing to do anything to save people, because that means you might do things like murder dozens of children to save one woman. There has to be a line that you will not cross, no matter what, even if it's to save yourself or someone you love. You can't rely on your own power to save everyone. Even if doing the right thing seems to lead to destruction, you have to do the right thing. Submitting to fate isn't about giving up, it's about having hope. It's about refusing to do wrong and leaving open the possibility that something beyond everyday reality could save you in ways you couldn't possibly imagine. And even if you aren't saved, you haven't added to the darkness.

love it when fma just says the quiet part out loud

But then Arakawa in her infinite wisdom as a writer goes, lol no, the goverment has been making flesh monsters with human transmutations in secret for years, they forbid it so that nobody can't even come close to attempting to create a personal army that cannot feel pain
