When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.
God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.

Hey guys! So turns out Iâm 25 USD off from being able to get my testosterone and could use a bit of help OTL
Itâs far too low of an amount to warrant setting up an official Kofi goal, but Iâve got a link to my Kofi [HERE] if anyone would like to toss me a quick kofi or two!
Iâve also got a direct link to my PayPal [HERE], just.. pretend you donât see my name LJKHJFHDGDSA
Only $358 left⌠Please donât let my motherâs hope end here đ
Weâve fought so hard to get this far, and now only $358 stands between my mother and the urgent heart procedure she needs đ
If just 14 kind people donate $25, my mother can finally get one step closer to the urgent heart procedure she needs
I keep refreshing the fundraiser, hoping to see another donation, but nothing changes. Meanwhile, I return to the hospital and see my mother still waiting, still in pain, still asking me with her eyes for hope that I struggle to give.đđ
Iâm begging you with all my heart , Please⌠donât tell yourself, âSomeone else will donate.â What if everyone thinks the same way?
Be one of those 14 people. Your $25 may feel small to you, but to me, it could mean one step closer to hearing the words, âYour mother can finally have her procedure.â
Please donât let our hope fade when we are so close. If you canât donate, please share our story. Every act of kindness brings my mother closer to the treatment she desperately needs. đđ
Please⌠be the reason I can tell my mother, âYouâre finally going to get your operation.â đ

The unbearable conditions we are living through in Gaza are slowly breaking me, and I have no strength left.

We are living through something beyond our ability to endure.
If youâre reading this, please donât scroll away. Your help could save my fatherâs life.
Please support us and share our story đđ
đ Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiaryâs account on the platform, which put us in a very difficult situation.
Where's it made? Who brought it here? How much were they paid? Who makes it? Is it made in separate parts and put together? How much were they all paid to do this? Where do they get the materials? Who paid for that? Who brings it there? How much were they paid? Who streamlined the base materials? How much were they paid? Who gathered the base materials? Where? How much were they paid? Is it good for them? Is it good for us? Is it good for the land? Is it necessary? Is it biodegradable? How much does it hurt? Do I need it? Do I even want it?
husband just reminded me of that time years ago when we were running a co-op farm in stardew valley
after we got married in-game it did the thing it does and asked us if we wanted to have a baby
we were like yeah sure why not, we're not having kids irl so may as well have a cute lil' virtual baby that costs us nothing and we can turn into a dove at any time
like the very next day we got that super rare 0.8% chance event that we had NO CLUE ABOUT where a freaking alien capsule drops on your farm in the middle of the night and the next day it's like shattered and whatever was inside is running loose
and we just froze and looked at each other like "??? is this our baby???" đđ

Unfortunately my wife will die - this is what awaits her if help does not arrive today. I am writing now to stop this sentence from becoming our reality tonight while she is still breathing. I hold my wife close, counting her breaths, bargaining with time. Donations are scarce every second matters. Please, stop. Share, donate now - your kindness could change tomorrow and keep her alive today please, now. Silence is killing my wife faster than her pain. Every post ignored steals minutes from her life. I beg you, stop here donate, share, choose compassion before this silence becomes her ending. Vetted by #520
âThe ad was in a womenâs magazine and if I remember correctly, was for a perfume. It featured a white woman lying in bed with a black man. The manâs shirtless back was to the viewer, making only his taut, muscular form and powerful-looking arms and shoulders visible. He was faceless, unidentified. The woman looked sultrily at us from over his mysterious form, satisfaction writ large over her features. She had partaken of whatever delights this man had to offer and was smugly, luxuriantly basking in the afterglow. The ad copy was, âTake a walk on the wild side.â My teacher used the ad as an example of how marketers can use certain words and images to convey large amounts of information subtly and effectively. A white woman having sex with a black man? How risquĂŠ. The implication: be a little like that woman. Spray on that perfume and feel like the kind of girl who has sex with faceless, muscular black men in ritzy hotel rooms because itâs an adventure, a thrill, a risk, something illicitly pleasurable. These are the semiotics of race. This is why columnists will trip over themselves not to call Lupita Nyongâo or Angela Basset âbeautifulâ, choosing instead to use terms that call to mind a kind of savage, animalistic magnetism: fierce, striking, edgy, eye-catching. Words like âprettyâ and âbeautifulâ and âcuteâ are for white women whose bodies and sexualities are not seen as wild, animal, or untamed. Black men are hulking, threatening, thuggish; white men are charming, sexy heartthrobs with hearts of gold. Brown women are exotic, with their âhoney-colouredâ skin and their âmysticalâ, âenchantingâ beauty, unlike their white counterparts, who are held up as not only ideal, but knowable and safe. White people are beautiful; non-white people are dangerous.â
â
âThe Semiotics of Race, or: Walks on the Wild Sideâ
Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life.
EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc
Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe.
EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc
NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person.
*AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.
You wouldnât think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. Itâs like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.
For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:
Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning
Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about themâthey can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything elseâwater so salty it burns your skin.
(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that itâs naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.
When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.
It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:
Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything elseâand it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.

In a place where children no longer know what safety feels like, a mother is trying to keep her children alive despite everything đ
I donât know how I am still holding on...
My name is Najah, and I am a mother of six children, including newborn twins đśđś who need urgent care every single moment.
We are living through extremely difficult days filled with fear, hunger, and the lack of basic necessities đĽşđ
Sometimes my children go to sleep without enough food, and I stand helpless before their tears because I cannot provide milk, diapers, or medicine for them.
My newborn twins are still so fragile, and their tiny bodies need constant nutrition and care đźđ
But our situation has become far beyond my ability to handle, while my other children face hunger, cold, and fear every day.
For many days, we have not received any donations or help, and our situation keeps getting worse with every passing hour.
I try to stay strong for my children, but my heart breaks every night when I see them suffering and I have nothing to protect them with.
Every second now is precious âł
Every act of kindness could be the reason my children survive đ
I am not asking for the impossible â only for a chance for my children to live safely, stay together, and have hope for another tomorrow.
Please, from the bottom of my heart, do not ignore our suffering đ
Any small donation could help me buy milk, diapers, food, and medicine for my children.
I am Najah, living with my twin children in a tent. As the tanks approached the area where we are staying, my fear was no longer for myself, but for my two little children who need safety more than anything else. All I hope for is that this danger passes peacefully and that I can protect them from being displaced once again.
Please donate $25, $50, $100, or any amount you can give đ¤˛
Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference in my childrenâs lives.
And if you cannot donate, please share our story everywhere you can đ˘
Your compassion may reach someone who can save my children before it is too late.
I beg you â stop here, donate, share, and choose kindness before this silence becomes another tragedy for my family.
Thank you to everyone who listened to our pain đ¸
Your kindness today could give my children another chance at life and safety.
