Here’s my submission to https://fmaanthology.tumblr.com/! I’ve never done a fan comic so I’m a little self conscious about this one, but I’m happy with it! Thanks for reading! Be sure to snag a copy by following the link!
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-
I just…. i love this transition so much. Mustang at least gets a couple frames to straighten up his gremlin ass self but Ed and Al are all ÓwÒ and ( ͡° ͡°<~ to Business in 0.0001 seconds. it utterly captures the exact emotion of the moment when you and ur friends are fucking the hell around & there’s a knock on the door and for 3 full seconds the whole gang is ready to commit murder before you remember it’s the pizza guy. Just… Hawkeye’s gun gliding casually into view. The single frame delay between Ed and Al. I am being totally 100% unironic when i say this is one of my favorite pieces of animation ever
