Can I give our sweet baby boy Mk some hugs because he deserves them and has been through a lot😭
HUG FOR THE KIDDO! 🫵
Also when I saw this ask my brain explode because WHY IS ENVY FROM FMA WANT TO HUG MK /silly
and I was in the middle of rewatching FMAB(which I finished not too long ago) so I found this pretty funny lmao
I made it to the bit where Greed has heartwarming flashbacks about when he was taller and had shittier fashion taste, but that one memory sure isn’t from him. This might be the spot where they switch places? Because immediately afterwards he jumps out a window and I’m not entirely convinced Ling knows what a door is.
(To be fair to the child, if you’re constantly on alert for assassins it makes sense to use unorthodox methods of entry and exit. I can only hope he kicks the habit before making diplomatic visits to other heads of state.)

After nearly two years of on-again off-again work here it is, the animatic that’s been stuck in my head ever since I first heard this song back in 2018!! Finishing this behemoth was my big goal for the year and that was even before I decided to fully illustrate it, but somehow here we are!
I honestly wasn’t ever sure if I’d be able to make this a reality since the song is a mix of fast paced with slower portions and I didn’t think static images would fit very well, but rather than give up on it I was super inspired by @siruoa‘s brilliant greedling artvid over here, and decided to give that style a shot myself with just the best results I could’ve hoped for!
Anyways thanks to all of ya’ll that have been so patient and encouraging since I dropped the sketch version last spring, I hope you all enjoy my love letter to FMA, Greed, and this this banging song as much as I do~
Okay but the weirdest thing about the whole "Brotherhood is better you should skip 03" discourse that's become commonplace now, it sort of forgets the world Brotherhood came out in and why you should watch the original Fullmetal Alchemist.
When Brotherhood came out, the original Fullmetal Alchemist was one of the most beloved and most watched animes of all time. Brotherhood assumes you the audience have already seen it because of course you have, everyone has seen it, so it skips important information and speeds the story up because it doesn't want to bore you with things you already know. Have you ever wondered "hey why does the first episode of Brotherhood kind of suck, and why am I being introduced to like 50 new characters, and why are they acting like I know what the hell an alchemist is?" It's because Brotherhood thinks you've seen 03.
The first 7 or so episodes of Brotherhood constitute dozens of chapters in the manga, and the first 25 or so episodes of the original Fullmetal Alchemist. The Nina Tucker episode in Brotherhood, in FMA 03 takes up nearly three episodes. Yoki gets a backstory in 03 and it's genuinely one of the best episodes and taken directly from the manga and Brotherhood glosses over it because: duh, you've already seen it.
And so if you skip the original you miss out on dozens of really great character building episodes like Ed and Al meeting Hughes for the first time and getting to spend a whole episode helping him free a train from terrorists, or Ed and Roy having a duel that expands on the relationship they have, or episodes where the brothers just help out random people in towns before the major story gets going.
The original also paces itself quite a bit better than Brotherhood and is more in line with the mangas storytelling. In the manga we don't find out about The Gate until nearly two dozen chapters in, and the same goes for the original anime. Like, that's a twist reveal in those stories, and it's weird that the most watched series is the one where they tell you all about The Gate in the first two episodes because they assume you've already seen the original show.
What's more, people don't know that Hiromu Arakawa helped write for the anime while she was still in the middle of writing the manga, and as a result was inspired to write scenes in Brotherhood that the anime did first. That scene of Edward getting impaled by a falling beam? Directly inspired by a similar scene in the original anime. There's a lot of little instances of that and they're great when you can recognize parallels and things in Brotherhood that are direct references to the original anime, but people don't notice any of that anymore.
Because the original anime is just an automatic skip these days, and it's a bummer because people don't realize what a giant it was back before Brotherhood was released. They treat it as *bad,* not realizing it was one of the most beloved anime of its time and the problems people take issue with have a lot more to do with personal taste than any kind of actual flaw in the writing. Brotherhood was never meant to dethrone it, and the original anime was always supposed to be part of the viewing experience which is why those first few episodes of Brotherhood are so fast paced.
So like, please stop telling people Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 is a skip, or it's bad, or you don't need it because Brotherhood is better. Regardless if you think Brotherhood is better or not, the original wrote Brotherhood's check. It was huge, it was beloved, and Brotherhood is *banking* on the knowledge you've seen all of it and loved it. And trust me when I say there is so much to love about the original series. It's still my favorite branch of the FMA franchise, and it's worth your time, I promise you.
Yes! The first half of 03 is essential for brotherhood. And yeah, the story goes off the rails but it does so with permission from the creator. And honestly, I love it!!!
When I first watches brotherhood I was only impressed with the opening but just kinda glazed over the first dozen episodes, it wasn't till the boys went to the library that I blinked back in and noticed how things were going differently.
I knew from the original who the 7 sins were but quickly realized that sloth was not going to be the same. I knew Bradley was a sin (Pride) so I saw hiw off he was from the beginning but then the twist that he wasn't pride but Wrath was fantastic! It wouldn't have worked so well if I hadn't watched 03.
Even without all that the opening part of 03 let's the characters breathe, it let's us understand them and who they are and their motivations. Ed and Al get to witness the birth of a baby and connect it to one and all of the universe and Alchemy. They delve deeper into Al's loneliness and the pressure of Ed being a state alchemist (especially so young)
And I know it was already talked about with Nina, but in 03 we get to spend several episodes with her before her storyline actually begins. We fall in love with the Tucker family which makes it all the more tragic for what happens.
I think the Bradleys are unintentionally the funniest part of fmab. Wrath is the leader of a country but King is his first name, not his title. His adopted ten year old son is actually at least 350 years old and his oldest brother. Mrs. Bradley somehow seems unaware that her son does not age or get injured. Pride is so scary and fucked up that even other homunculi don't like him, but he apparently goes to school like a normal little boy and writes essays on how cool and awesome his dad is. Wrath and Pride both hate humans but they both agree that Mrs. Bradley is pretty great. When they die, Wrath ages several decades in like seconds, and Pride gets turned into a fetus. What the fuck is up with them

idk if i missed the post where you explained the au or something but would you tell me about the bradley’s boys au? i can’t send an ask to your blog so i figured i would do this lolll just consider it an ask
HIIII!!! [Insert waving emoji here] Begging forgiveness early because I go a bit feral when folks ask me about fics/au so if this is too much then mb! But having said that! Thank you SO much for asking, because I came up with this idea last week and am having a ball with it already!
For a shorter version, the Pride!Ed au in this post is the short version ad where I originally shared it! The rest of a more fleshed out version is going under the cut!
So! Bradley's Boys is a canon divergent au that imagines the Elric brothers being adopted by King Bradley and his Wife, taking the place of Selim Bradley in the plot and sending ripples through what usually happens in the show.
I'm mostly basing it on the manga, since I recently finished reading it, but some elements of the 03 or BH versions might slip in wherever I feel like they could work. (At least, early 03 lol-)
The plot is the same. Hohenheim leaves, the Rockbell parents are killed, Trisha dies of her illness. The boys grieve, decide to study even harder, and end up training with Izumi. It's there, while they are in Dublith and outside of the small town of Resemboole, where word gets out and spreads that there are two kids resembling Hohenheim (and Father) training in Dublith. They know alchemy. Father, deciding that perhaps he wants one more peon to dangle over Hohenheim's head if he ever shows back up, decides to have someone take Ed and bring him back to Central. This leads to Edward being kidnapped at age 10 and meeting Father beneath Central.
Selim's philosopher stone is placed inside of Edward, he's supposed to become a vessel like Bradley. Instead Edward (scared, pissed, honestly offended that anyone, anything, could imply humans are weak?) fights off Pride inside his own head and his soul ends up being the dominant one. (Smth smth the technicalities are probably going to hinge on Ed simply being too strong-willed to die and not yet having been humbled by the failed transmutation. Plus Hohenheim's blood, the blood of xerxes, these lost souls find some sorta comfort there compared to Father or Selim.) Ed, using his newfound Homunculi skills, is able to transmute himself straight outta there, catch the last train, and slip away. However, he adrenaline-crashes on the train and by the time he wakes up again, he has like, almost no memories of being there at all. He just remembers being terrified, that his transmuting power is a lot stronger, and that his shadow was chasing him out of Central.
He gets back to Dublith safely, Izumi and Al were worried sick and asking everywhere/searching constantly trying to find him for the last two days. Ed isn't sure what happened to him, his brain is blocking it out, so Izumi assumes it was traumatizing and only keeps the boys another two weeks before deciding they had graduated (and were mentally as well as they could be) before sending them home.
When they get there, Ed is mostly unshaken by the whole incident and is still dead set on reviving their mom. Only, they get home and it's Fuhrer Bradley sitting at their kitchen table with Granny Pinako. That same day, they are told that King Bradley and his wife were going to adopt them, because Bradley was related to their mother and heard the news. They fight it, (ED fights it), but inevitably they must go. It's illegal for them to stay without a guardian and as much as Granny had been kinda raising them, she couldn't take full custody nor handle the land deed of their home on top of everything else. Plus, no one could beat the Fuhrer. So, with promises of allowing visits and of keeping their home safe and in-tact, Bradley ushers the blondes back to Central where they receive the name changes. Edward Elric-Bradley and Alphonse Elric-Bradley. Neither of them were willing to give up their mother's last name.
From there on out, Ed and Al are raised by Mrs. Bradley (I hc her name as Lana Bradley but, y'know lol-) and trained by King Bradley. King reveals his homunculi secret to Ed, claiming the tattoo and symbol are something special from Trisha's side of the family, though he can't say much more. Passing it off as a generational thing, and making Ed feel it is connected to his beloved mom, helps him brush off any glaring inconsistencies or hesitation he had towards embracing it before. (Ignore the nightmares, those screaming voices of a dead civilization are DEFINITELY just stress- induced hallucinations.) Meanwhile Al is still a normal ahh human boy. Both of them have a strained relationship with both King and Lana. King, because he's the Fuhrer and from a completely different social status than them, how do they act? They're little country hick boys! This guy seems like the type to smack knuckles with rulers! (he's not, he 's actually shockingly charmed by their lack of decorum and willingness to learn) With Lana because, well, they just lost their mom. She's their mother now, thanks to the law, but it's just weird. She understand and respects that, though. (She calls them her 'Pride and Joy" when talking to others, rather than her sons, because she's pretty sure Ed still cries when she pats his head just right and Al called her 'mom' once and looked like someone had shot his dog when he realized it.) All in all, Al is the one who warms up to both of them more quickly. He openly refers to King as 'Dad' (he didn't really get to know Hohenheim, though he'd probably call him Dad too if they ran into one another) later in the story, and while it takes a really really long time, he eventually is willing to call Lana 'Mom'. (He can never replace Trisha, she's always his mom, but Mrs.Bradley is his mom in the same way Izumi is his mom, and he wants to respect that impact the both of them had on him.) Idk if Ed ever makes the leap in either direction, but he's particularly hostile to Mrs. Bradley for a time, which she kindly attributes to the trauma/teenage years.
The main story is mostly focused around a change in power dynamics. A lot of FMA/FMA:B/FMAnga focus on the way the military is corrupt and how people like Ed and Mustang want to use that system to their advantage to make it better for the everyday person and those who were wronged in the past, but here? Ed and Al are in direct positions of power, and they have to navigate that. As sons of the Fuhrer. As State Alchemists. As people who literally have the strongest man in the country backing them (as far as they know) how far are they willing to push the social boundaries to help others. How does this elevated status pull them away from the people they're trying to help? Do they understand the schemes better or worse from the top rather than the outside? Basically, what would happen if the brothers used that plot armor (human sacrifices in the military so Bradley does shit like approve Ed's report without so much as glancing at it. like. in canon.) to the extreme by being important AND some powerful guy's favorites?
Anyways, the boys do still commit the taboo. It only takes like a month. (Bradley is scheming with Father and the others to see if either of them could be good candidates for human sacrifice, trying to figure out if they could force the action, when Bradley gets called out because his sons are in danger and being taken to the hospital??) They do it in one of the backrooms of the Bradley household. They're sure if they can bring back mom, maybe they can leave. It doesn't go well. Ed wakes up... mostly fine, though he can't quite recall where he is or why he feels a little shakey. Until he finds Al, passed out on the ground nearby, missing his left arm from the shoulder down. Obv he goes picking up Al on his adrenaline high and rushes out calling for Mrs. Bradley for help. She finds he's trailed blood everywhere and has his brother missing a limb. They rush Al to a hospital and are able to stabalize him. Smth smth taboo, smth smth Al saw the gate, had to make sure Ed's soul stayed in place, smth smth he ended up losing his arm as the cost for the taboo (undetermined meaning yet). Ed does not recall the gate, but his Pride abilities are noticeably weakened.
After this, the incident is covered up. Al gets automail from the Rockbells (at his insistance) and ends up recovering in a year and a half, but is already back up and around after a year. Bradley offers them the positions of State Alchemists, then. Formality, so that Ed can legally research ways of restoring Al's arm. So Al can continue to look into his own advanced studies. And they pass their exams with flying colors.
That's how it is when the story starts off. Edward Elric-Bradley is Colonel Elric, the Prideful Alchemist. Alphonse Elric-Bradley is Major Elric, the Stepping-Stone Alchemist. Ed is sent off on lots of distance missions, while Al stays close to Central. Al, in fact, is placed under the command of one human sacrifice candidate and high-achieving youngster: Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist.
Basically this fic is somewhat of a character study, somewhat of a worldbuilding exploration, and somewhat of a self-indulgent Parental!Mustang, Parental!Hughes, and Parental!Bradley fic all to suit my tastes haha! (I was coming to the end of the Parental!Roy tag on ao3 so I had to take it into my own hands.)
There's a lot of emphasis on Al in this one too, since BH kinda pushes him to the side? But mostly just looking into some silly alternatives! And also I'm kinda enjoying seeing Mrs. Bradley having a happy family in the future. Because like, she was so proud of Selim in canon and loved Bradley despite him always being so busy... with the Elrics, they're awkward and distant for a while but Al does genuinely like her and Ed comes around eventually... with King, he is intrigued by the Elric Brothers (particularly Alphonse, because he did not need to adopt both brothers. He could have only taken Ed.) and this interest in how they keep changing and messing with plans leads him to recall the spark in his wife that made him fall for her. This all combined just has a shockingly powerful and positive outcome for the poor woman!
Oh and smth smth Hughes probably lives. Although he is a perfect stand-in for a betrayal I want to happen later on in the series, I don't really want to lose him, so I'll find someone/something else! ...Probably Greed. Sorry Greed. :[
Aaaaand, yeah! I don't thing this is too much spoiler, just some backstory stuff and a few hints on some character development I've got planned! If you got all the way down here, thank you SO much for reading and asking, and here's a bonus!
The first chapter is out here on ao3 :3 (I'm gonna have sporadic updates because I'm an artist more than a writer, but I'm amaturish at both so I go where the wind takes me haha!)
does anyone else remember this 2003 fma ova bc it's lived completely rent-free in my head for over a decade and i still can't find the subbed version for comparison plz help i need a version that doesn't force me to hear ed's english va for ten minutes straight please
i'm rewatching it right now and i have to keep pausing it to get the giggles out bc holy shit
professionally made self-insert fanfic to the core. plot holes like you wouldn't believe. mustang hands you an alchemy ring within 60 seconds of being told who you are and this is never explained. greed is there and still thinks he has a soul and human needs (objectively untrue in the 2003 verse. this man is like 300 years old. never learned how to tie up anybody also). this is also never explained. ed surrendered before the story started and this led to him being on the ceiling apparently. no one else is on the ceiling.
envy has mastered winry's speech patterns and body language despite having never met her in their life just so they could pretend to be taken hostage and watch ed beat up greed and then just beats the shit out of him on their own. not even really trying. then they leave for no reason, which is apparently the only motive anybody has today. for some reason ed chases envy even tho greed was the only one who was actually really doing anything threatening.
pride decides it's murder day which also makes absolutely no sense but g-d i miss ed blaylock as bradley. none of the other homunculi question this, or why they're listening to pride, who only really has authority over sloth. pride also seems to think the philosopher's stone can be gained by doing this somehow. ed actively wants mustang dead. somehow envy knew where the other homunculi were and summoned them through the wall with dramatic hand gestures. lust kinda hits on ed and then i think wrath does also??
sloth jumps team mustang and then just. shows her face. which is juliet douglas's face. no one seems to notice. hawkeye tells mustang it's useless to use fire on sloth and then. tries to shoot her. when this fails she pulls out a second gun and dual wields at sloth while sending the only alchemist present away bc i guess flame alchemy is literally the only thing he knows how to do at all. mustang crawls away. sloth does nothing but stand there and be unaffected by bullets about this.
mustang then teleports downstairs and sets lust, gluttony, and wrath on fire, and when the flames clear up envy is there and the others were in the floor i guess?. sloth reenters pursued by armstrong who i guess is also here now? envy was expecting sloth despite having not had any time to communicate with any of the other homunculi at all and also having not been involved in pride's "hey guys go kill my subordinates for me" meeting. robo-archer is there??? and apparently he's an alchemist too today. gun arm alchemist. also even here there are no state alchemist women. kimblee is also here and everyone is totally fine with that (he does nothing at all for the entire fight).
gluttony and armstrong do what i think is some sort of hopping circle dance which they both seem to be enjoying. lust stabs a table. sloth's new attack style is just "stand still and hold soldiers in my water tentacles and maybe wiggle them a bit". mustang snaps a lot and lust dodges every single one bc apparently she's also the fucking flash?? archer's arm cannon does absolutely nothing to anyone but boy is he firing it in directions.
mustang sees you hiding which btw is the normal response to all this and then yell at you to join in before sloth decides it's wiggle time for him too. you reveal yourself to be green lantern and make a box which uhhhh freezes time?? and then explodes everything which i guess is a win for team good guy (+ kimblee and archer). ed says you did a good job (lol. lmao) and then he and al leave.
the only actual injury inflicted is envy beating greed's ass so hard they knocked him right out of the ova
what gets me about FMA is that it’s so deep and serious but the base level concepts are batshit and hilarious
“the protagonists are a teenage garden gnome with a guilt complex who’s committed war crimes and punched god in the face and his little brother, a giant living suit of armor with the voice of a baby and would apologize to you if you stepped on his foot.”
“they have a pseudo family in the military consisting mostly of a manchild whos probably never actually been on a date in his life and a very bluntly honest but endearingly kind lady with a puppy. both of them have an extremely high amount of confirmed kills.”
“one of the characters willingly gets possessed by a demon, a decision he made soon after eating his friend’s shoe while trapped in the stomach of an artificial human”

back at it with another panel compilation as i continue my reread of fullmetal alchemist! finally hitting one of my favorite parts of the manga <3 gluttony's stomach incident you will ALWAYS be famous
first off: roy is a CHILD here i love it. he's having the time of his life. sorry that you're unfortunately attracted to that man, riza
glad to see that envy and ed's dynamic in ripple effect really IS their canon dynamic when they're not officially trying to kill each other because of PlotTM and instead are trying to do it because ed is getting sensitive about his height again. the expressions are SO good!homunculi envy still and i love it
SHOE PANELS MY BELOVED love how you can visibly see the moment that ed realizes he could cook his shoe in that second panel. these two boys have a SINGLE brain cell shared between them. also what do you MEAN there's movies in the fma universe and ed has watched one???? where?? WHEN
ed IMMEDIATELY caving when he sees envy is hysterical. but also. OOF. love love love ed willing to make a deal with a homunculus and ling being shocked, only for ling to go and accept greed a few scenes later.
good!homunculi au envy needs to take NOTES on canon envy's fighting style theyve got the RANGE. truly using their shapeshifting abilities to their full potential
the last row of panels on this page is sending me. ling and ed truly are THE duo in all of this manga, dear god. they really DO feel like two teen boys for reasons i can't fully describe
the decision to cut from ed getting the crap beaten out of him to al just sitting in the much more peaceful woods is hilarious and got its way onto this post because how could i NOT laugh at the juxtaposition here
on one hand, it's amazing how well hiromu arakawa is building up the eventual selim = pride reveal, since so many of the conversations around this time are with pride off screen, or involve characters realizing bradley is a homunculus and them trying to figure out what that means for selim.
on the other hand, laughing at the implication that pride would ever be bradley's weakness, mainly because we all know pride would just kick his ass first instead. wrath's not even PRIDE'S weakness
i could probably find some meta comment to make here but it's just funny how down ed is to fight father. he's like promised day WHO i'm just here to throw HANDS. end this manga 50 chapters before it's set to finish
to end this out: does gluttony know i would die for him? because i would. i absolutely would. he's just SO happy to have another sibling oh my GOD. in my good!homunculi au, this whole bit is just canon now for when sloth was born. he was SO ready to be a big brother
