Brian hadn’t expected anyone to find him when he left for the forest in search of a place that had once been a refuge for him.

He hadn’t expected anyone to want to find him. Whether they were looking or not, he couldn’t bring himself to think anyone would want to walk in on whatever mess this was.

So when the sound of footsteps echoed around him just above the din of his own incessant sobbing, he assumed the worst. There was a shudder in his chest as he sucked in a breath, head snapping up within seconds to leave dark yellow spots on his hoodie where the tears had fallen. His vision was blurry, and he rubbed at his eyes to try and see something, any detail of the persons face.

When he’d managed to blink away the water welling up in his eyes, he didn’t recognize who he saw. He’d never seen this person before, and that unnerved him.

“W-who are you…why are you here?”

I LOVE THIS QUESTION okay, so i’ve watched fma entirely and i’m currently watching fma: brotherhood as well as reading the manga.

basically, the main difference between the two is that fma only follows the manga for about the first 30 or so chapters, and fma: brotherhood follows the manga in it’s entirety (which has to do with when they were made, because the first show, fma was created while the manga was still being written, so they deviated from the storyline to avoid spoilers, but fma: brotherhood was created after the entire manga had been released). 

honestly, i think there’s value in watching both shows BUT i have to say, even though i haven’t watched all of it yet, fma: brotherhood is definitely the better one of the two.

i still think fma has value though!!! and except for the last few episodes, which we won’t talk about because they were that bad, i absolutely LOVE the show and what they did and the new characters they added in and all that. 

really the main difference between them in this case, besides obvious deviations, is that i feel like fma: brotherhood focuses a lot more on like romantic relationships than i feel like fma ever did (like ed/winry and roy/riza ESPECIALLY there’s a ton more depth for them in fma: brotherhood than fma ever gave them) and yeah.

i also think fma covered the backstory of the elric brothers (WHICH IS IMPORTANT AS FUCK) in a way that was a bit clearer than fma: brotherhood, though you’re still definitely able to connect the dots and all in fma:b.
