Keep it Crispy

it should be an explosive device, so they widen that part of the cave at the same time and no other spelunkers will get stuck there

A little bit for Monica, she's my wife

A little bit for Erica, for her strife

My books all go to Rita, cause she reads

My greenhouse goes to Tina, she plants trees

The furniture is Sandra's, on my lawn

Jewelry for Mary, she can pawn

Ashes go to Jessica, that's my plan

ok we all know the mangaka is a woman and like one of the best mangaka ever so everyone is so well written but like when you look at these characters there is so much that is show not tell that you honestly don’t notice until you really take a close look at them and it adds a whole new layer to the atory

like we all know Roy Mustang. Womanizing mini skirt loving PTSD filled Riza loving man. Ok take a closer look

his womanizing play boy act is an act, a persona he puts on to become unassuming and make people belive he would never be a threat. It’s honestly a great job he does to make sure no one knows of his plans to become the leader of Amestris.

where did Mustang grow up again? A brothel you say. A brothel that doubles as a spy and intel gathering operation. Where women used their sexuality to make themselves unassuming and unthreatening. Oh you know like Mustang does in the millitary

and this shit is never said out loud. The fact that Roy’s fake womanizing comes from the women who raised him and taught him all his secret trades. And it’s not something that is too touched on. Mustang growing up in a brothel is more of a joke in most of the fandom if anything but god you can see the impact of it on his story and personality in the millitary

direct orders of "you really really need to kill this guy" ignored: 1

That's

That's Roy Mustang

Just the opposite.

Roy "I grew up with 10 sisters so I know how to disguise covert information reconnaissance as flirting" Mustang.

"I grew up with 10 sisters so I know how to weaponize my sexual charm to disarm others and win favor."

Roy led every higher-up to believe he was just a fuckboy and a manwhore in this for his own ego and that they shouldn't view him as any kind of violent revolutionary like "no sir I'm just a slut."

Which. is an absolutely batshit primary character backstory to mention once, late in the series, and then immediately move on from.

And actually Hiromu Arakawa did it so well that every single fan interpretation of Roy Mustang for the FMA03 anime treated him as an honest to god man-slut. Bought his whole act hook line and sinker.

Be real Adrian who do you think you’re fooling
