In chapter 8, Alex Armstrong says he has never met an automail engineer. It can be assumed that Central City does not have any automail shops since it’s relatively far from war-torn areas.

This is really really cute, Ed correcting Armstrong about all the things Winry does. “SHE IS NOT JUST A MECHANIC SHE DOES ALL THIS STUFF TOO. SHE’S A SURGEON AT 15 THAT’S RIGHT”. He is such a nerd and so in love with Winry, SHE MUST GET ALL THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES.

Also this confirms that despite how much Winry goes on about “I’ll charge you extra! I am going to milk you for so much money! ” etc etc, she doesn’t actually charge Ed that much even though he can afford it. Awww.

SERIOUSLY THO THIS GIF SET HOW CAN PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND THIS SCENE

WINRY WAS NOT GOING TO SHOOT

WINRY WAS NEVER GOING TO SHOOT

IF SHE HAD WANTED TO SHOOT SHE WOULD HAVE DONE IT RIGHT AWAY. If she’d seriously not had any second thoughts, Scar would not have had time to make a dramatic speech, the fight wouldn’t have restarted, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE HESITATED.

but she was. She couldn’t bring herself to do it. 

And Ed was worried about Winry. Not morals. Not Scar. Not his feelings. He says it right out to Riza “It was scary to see Winry in that much rage and pain. Suddenly the gun seemed like a horrible thing to me”.

If Winry had shot Scar, Ed wouldn’t have like *freaked out from the trauma of seeing the girl he had thought was innocent do what he could not* as I’ve seen suggested- for fuck’s sake, no. He would have pretty much jumped over Scar’s body to rush to Winry’s side to see if SHE was okay SHE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING THAT KINDA GOES AGAINST WHO SHE IS OUT OF PAIN GRIEF AND HATRED and that would have been extremely traumatic- and Winry’s feelings are seriously all Ed cares about in this situation. All he is concerned about is Winry’s well being. because he fucking loves her and knows who she is better than anyone else on the planet (well maybe NOT her grandmother but WHATEVER I’M!!!)

This is not Ed making the decision that killing is wrong FOR Winry. He’s reassuring her that she is RIGHT. That she couldn’t kill and that is okay because she is this amazing wonderful person who has these skills that save people and bring life into the world, and THAT’S WHO SHE IS and he knows that because he is the greatest beneficiary of that, because he’s been by her side his entire life and he watches her and appreciates and marvels and thinks about her all the time even if he can’t show it as much as he should because he is a dumb goober. 

This is a situation where a girl was put in the position where she wanted to do something that wasn’t in her, something she wouldn’t have been able to face and this is her love interest knowing that, wanting to be by her side, wanting to help her realize she is amazing and it’s okay that she didn’t do that and here’s why you’re amazing.

Scar wasn’t going after Winry. Ed was just trying to sheild Winry from further pain, pain he had inadvertantly caused- stupidly (as Al pointed out) but he was only thinking of Winry, the fact that seeing her like this scared him because HE KNOWS AND LOVES HER.

Winry has been an emotional crutch for Ed so many times- she’s taken on his pain, she’s literally gotten him back on his feet- now it’s his turn to be her emotional support, to assure her of who she is, to support her, to let her cry on his shoulder FOR HERSELF and not him- to feel pain on her account for once instead of the other way around. And Ed does this for her. He is her emotional support, he is the one to talk about what she means to him as a hero- the roles are reversed, and they should be, because a relationship requires both people supporting each other emotionally.

I mean seriously, why the fuck do you think Ed respects life so much? These principals didn’t pop out of nowhere. He respects it because he grew up entirely surrounded by women who nurture lives and save lives and honor life- WINRY WAS ONE OF THEM, there’s also his mom and Pinako! The Rockbells! They TAUGHT him these things! And so when he sees one of the women who taught him the value of life holding a gun, he knows it’s a sign she’s seriously in pain and shit is wrong and he needs to be by her side.

Winry Rockbell is a rockstar and it’s okay that she can’t cap a dude in the head and walk away feeling nothing  because what she does and who she is is so much more valuable and stronger than that, and Ed knows this and supports this and he wants to be there for her

hat’s it that’s the scene if u don’t get it i have no time.

alphonse elric is gay cuz only homos know how to dress that good but edward elric is gay too cuz only homos know how to dress that bad. theres two types of gays. winry is in the “dresses well” section because she’s a legend with whatever she wears no matter what.

where does this leave ling

he can go one or two ways, because the titties out thing is pretty iconic but he wears poofy asshole pants and i cant forgive him for that. the sword is a nice touch though.

When Edward sacrfices his alchemy for Al it’s shown after that he, in fact, will never be able to use it anymore. However, as he proposes to Winry he offers half of his life in exchange for Winry’s half, making this a sort of intent on transmutation. And just as Truth told him, he will never be able to do those anymore, since Winry offers her whole life, failing the transmutation and breaking the rule of equivalent exchange but accepting his feelings anyways, showing Ed and the reader once more that one doesn’t need to depend on alchemy to achieve his goals and be happy, in this essay I will-

This is where I take the opportunity to debunk this really ridiculous argument about Edward Elric.

I’ve seen a lot of criticism for how emotional Ed is in this series. He doesn’t cry often, but he tears up and expresses a lot of negativity that doesn’t fall under your typical shonen macho bravado. 

Edward Elric is a fifteen year old boy.

Edward Elric is a traumatized, injured, lonely, orphaned fifteen year old boy who has had to take on responsibilities that are far above his maturity level.

He has endured pain on the level of a soldier in a full-scale war and then some.

He has had flashbacks triggered, he’s lost two of his limbs, he has nightmares of blood and decaying flesh, he has lost his mother, he blames himself for what happened to his brother, he watched an innocent child die and blames himself for that too, he has just recently admitted he doesn’t have anyone older he can trust right now, he has nearly been murdered with knives and with amplified alchemy designed to blow his brain apart, he doesn’t have a home, he’s cut himself off from his remaining family besides Al for their own protection after seeing what dangers his job incurs.

He loses sleep on research. He carries limbs that are too heavy for his body mass. He is regularly called upon to solve problems that are better left in the hands of adults by other adults he distrusts because he feels like they will only exploit him. 

All while trying to be the adult he is just not ready to be. Not yet.

You will never experience half of what this kid experienced. This orphaned, child soldier, amputee who is trying to save he and his brother’s livelihoods under corrupt authorities who’d kill him for stepping out of line.

He deserves to shed tears.

#I’ve spent too long just admiring the animation in those 2 gifs #THE SHADOWS #like when he whips around #light moves with him and the first spot is back to dark #this might seem ‘well duh’ to most but these details are important for quality and realism #and then there’s the gradual change in his expression in the 1st gif #his eyes darken and crinkle and his mouth becomes more tense #very subtle but effective #on another note #what do you think Brohood!Ed would want to tell FMA03!Ed about guns

I remember in one of my writings talking about how the Ed in brotherhood couldn’t bear to use a gun but I never put that fact alongside FMA Ed’s experience with guns I figure this version of Ed is so done with the worldand he’ll stop at nothing to return to Amestris to find Al even if it means possibly killing someone I would never have noticed these tiny details damn but…I focus on different things I guess

#Of course I believe Ed did not sink as deep as Roy because well#Roy killed hundreds of people in the war#But both have PTSD and are haunted by their pasts and mistakes#Roy tries to redeem himself by doing something good#including offering a way for 2 orphaned brothers to find a way to get their bodies#and working to become fuhrer and rebuild the country#and never have to do something he doesn’t want to again#As for Ed and Al#their circumstances get worse and worse#AND THEY CHANGE AS A RESULT#that’s an awesome thing about FMA 2003#In time Ed is forced to make compromises on his ideals because if he doesn’t Al dies#And whether it is because he feels their entire situation is his fault#Or because he’s the big bro and thus should take responsibility#he ultimately spares Al some pretty significant horrors#LIKE KILLING SLOTH FOR INSTANCE#THAT KIND OF THING AFFECTS YOU#FOREVER#And CoS shows Ed’s depression and sadness wonderfully#In fact#If he had been all happy and adventerous it would have been comical and unrealistic
