Rikky Art

I was diagnosed with it recently, but I'm not entirely sure the diagnosis is correct. The only symptom I have is pain that's been going on for about 9 months. I never had an ultrasound, and I've tried a ton of medications prescribed by different doctors, but none of them have made much of a difference.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What did it turn out to be, and what helped? I'd really appreciate hearing your stories.

Translation of the song bratja

Hey Tumblr, I watched Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) (it’s genuinely incredible), and I was surprised to find out that one of the background songs is actually in Russian.

This song has been making me cry for 2 days straight lmao.

Maybe the FMA fandom already knows about it, but I still wanted to translate the lyrics for you all. Suffer with me.

(Edward)

Forgive me, little brother

I’ve failed you completely

You cannot bring back

What the earth has already claimed

If anyone truly understood

The laws that govern life and death

Maybe they could help me find an answer too

I made a terrible mistake

There is no cure for death

(children’s choir)

Dear mother, gentle mother, we loved you so much

But all our efforts were in vain

(this line genuinely destroyed me)

(Edward)

I was the one who tempted you

With the beautiful hope

That we could restore our broken home

Brother, this is all my fault

(Alphonse)

Don’t cry, brother

You are not the only one to blame

We chose this path together

And together we must carry this sin to the end

I could never blame you

I’m not angry at you at all

Our sin was believing

We could become greater than anyone else

(children’s choir)

Dear mother, gentle mother, we loved you so much

But all our efforts were in vain...

(Alphonse)

I too was seduced by that beautiful hope

That we could bring our family back together

I’m guilty too

But what are we supposed to do now?

How can we fix this? How can we move on?

You cannot bring back

What the earth has already claimed

I probably can’t fully capture the emotional nuance of every line in translation (so if you have questions, feel free to ask).

But one detail I really love is that in the anime, the verse that plays usually belongs to whichever brother is feeling the guilt most strongly in that moment. If both of them are grieving, both parts are used.

The weekend is over

Just the best boy

Why does my brain go into overdrive only at peak negative emotions? -_-

Oh well, at least I made some fanart for episode 4
