i love how edward elric dresses like the typical anime protag (all black, red cloak w/ huge emblem, tight leather pants, always puts skulls or spikes on everything, huge belt with a chain on it, etc. etc.) but literally everyone else dresses like normal fucking people so he just constantly gets berated for his Shit Awful Taste
cf also everything he makes with alchemy.
me at first: “Wow this magic sure has a kind of gothic sensibility with all the dragons and spikes and shit that comes out”
me another few volumes in, “Oh, no, Ed’s just… Like That”
Ok but THE angry temperamental teen Edward convincing Winry she did the right thing by not killing Scar and explaining in that quiet, patient voice while softly prying her fingers from the gun and gently letting his metal hand cover them to remind her of what incredible things is she capable of
It’s also an extra special kind of hurt because you know that when Ed looks at his hands he sees the hands of an alchemist: one who trapped his brother in a suit of armor and who has hurt others, whereas when he looks at Winry’s he sees the hands that gave him his arm and leg and helped him stand up again and delivered a baby.
Basically when he looks at Winry’s hands he sees everything that, as an alchemist, he believes he is incapable of. 🙂 He 🙂 sees :))) that. :))))))))
The hours of sleep sacrificed for this, all of that, worth it ❤
AAAAAY I wonder if I’ll ever had enough time to finish it properly with colors and stuff, but at least the “storyboard” it’s done and I’m hella proud of myself.
Please let me know your thoughs ;__;
