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.

aklsfjfjhsk ed is SO in love with winry god ACKNOWLEDGE HER GREATNESS AS THE GREATEST LADY I KNOW

ed it okay

you’re gonna get to kiss her

it alright

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.

I don’t think Winry gets enough credit as a genius. Like, automail would need her to understand engineering, robotics, anatomy, and particularly how nervous systems work, and she’s technically a surgeon. She was already a regular helper at Pinako’s shop when she was 11. At 15, she walked into a town full of top automail experts and impressed all but one of them with a rush-order arm she’d made. Then, she took over one person’s shop so thoroughly, her customers won’t even let someone else make the outer casings. On top of that, she read medical books as a child and not only understood them, but retained enough of it to successfully deliver a baby years later even though that had nothing to do with her preferred field. And she didn’t have any help from the Truth.

Winry might not be an alchemist, but she’s a medical and engineering genius and somebody needs to tell her that right now.

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. :))))))))

Shitty Prom AU, a series

remember when like a year and a half ago me and Aila (@ailaxolotl) joked about an FMA:B Prom AU and I started writing out like 14 drabbles for it but never finished any of them and then intermittently forgot about them? well, look! I stopped forgetting for a sec! and, like, it’s prom season, so why not add a little bit more to it? 
so so here’s a good ol highschool au featuring the Central High crew (Ed, Al, Winry, Ling, Lan Fan, and Paninya.) ships include ed x ling and paninya x lan fan. 

pt. 1 // pt. 2 // pt. 3
// pt. 4

“I don’t mean to sound like a cynic here,” Paninya said as
she eyed her friends, where a good 2/3 of them looked inches from death, “but I
could have sworn the point of a movie night was to watch the movie.”

Ling didn’t even stir from where he laid sprawled out on the
couch, cheek resting on one of Ed’s legs while a small puddle of his drool
darkened a patch of Ed’s jeans. Ed himself was barely conscious, his head
bobbing up and down as he slipped between sleeping and waking every few
seconds. Winry had left the living room a while ago to go make herself some
coffee, though it was debatable if she ever made it to the kitchen. Paninya
half expected to find her lying face-down in the hallway to match the younger Elric
brother, who was currently lying on the floor and groaning.

“What even happened to you guys?” Paninya asked,
suspiciously poking at Ling’s face. He let out a half-hearted whine and swatted
in the vague direction of her hand.

Lan Fan emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn and
sat down on her end of the couch next to Paninya, shaking the bowl in her
girlfriend’s direction. Paninya took a handful.

“They pulled an all-nighter working on a AP Chem project,”
she said simply. She held up her phone. “Ling tweeted about it the entire
night.”

Paninya looked down at her girlfriend’s phone and scrolled a
bit, seeing tweet after tweet from Ling in all caps.

“Um, is the happy couple still together?” she asks
carefully.

Ed stirred from his daze long enough to nod slowly. “Only
because he said he didn’t have the energy to dump me after staying up all
night. Plus, it’s his own fault for not checking his math—”

“—I will punch you in the dick, Edward Elric,” came the
muffled groan from his lap.

“—or paying attention, like at all, in class. Really he’s pretty useless as a lab partner.”
Ling stirred for a moment like he might actually rise to fight Ed, but Ed
reached down and carded his hand through his boyfriend’s bangs, placating him.
Ling hummed softly and laid back down.

“Wait,” Paninya said. “Why is Al tired? He’s not even in AP
chemistry. He’s a junior.”

“They were doing it all wrong!” Alphonse suddenly cried from
the floor. “Like, you guys had to memorize the entire periodic table for class,
how could you not know the difference between a lanthanoid and an actinoid?”

“No matter how many times you say that, we’re still not
gonna know what it means!” Paninya heard Winry call from the kitchen.

Both Elrics groaned in contempt. Paninya rolled her eyes. This
was the problem with being friends with science nerds.

“Alphonse came to help them with their project halfway
through the night. Winry and Ling weren’t much help to Edward,” Lan Fan
translated, still scrolling through her Twitter Feed and munching on her
popcorn.

“It’s moments like these that really make me value my
general ed education,” Paninya said haughtily. “Like, I can’t remember the last
time I had to pull an all-nighter for remedial Earth Science.”

“That’s because you conned me into doing it for you,” Al muttered angrily.

Paninya shrugged. It wasn’t her fault that he was gullible enough to be tricked into doing
everyone else’s science homework.

“Some famous CEO once said he’d choose a lazy person to do a
hard job because they’d find the easiest way to do it,” she said with a smirk. “I
happened to find the easiest way to do homework is to have others do it for
me.”

Lan Fan snorted. Alphonse groaned again.

“And anyways, I didn’t invite you guys to a movie night to
have you all fall asleep on me,” Paninya said with her hands on her hips. Lan
Fan quirked an eyebrow at her, and Paninya amended with a pat on Lan Fan’s
knee, “Besides you, babe.”

“Paninyaaaaa,” Ling cried pitifully. “Can’t we watch the
movie another night? I don’t even remember what we’re watching.”

It was some sci-fi B movie that Ed picked out during their
last fight about what to watch for movie night, which meant that Paninya didn’t
give a crap about the movie either. “Well, I didn’t actually invite you here to
watch a movie, either,” she said with a grin. “I gathered you all here today to
talk about prom.”

The three tired teenagers groaned in response. Paninya was
pretty sure she heard Winry make a miserable noise from the kitchen as well.

Paninya pressed on. “One, you’re all horrible when you’re
tired. Two, are we getting a limo?”

“Too show-y,” Al said from the floor.

“Too expensive,” Ed said from beside her on the couch.

“Mmrph ih,” Ling mumbled sleepily into Ed’s leg.

Winry finally returned from the kitchen, holding a
dangerously large cup of coffee. She sat down cross-legged on the floor beside
Alphonse’s sprawled form. “I don’t know, guys. I think a limo could be kind of
fun.” The Elrics bristled briefly before she continued. “Come on, guys. You
have enough money from babysitting Nina to pitch in. And what’s wrong with
being a little corny and flashy for one night? Isn’t that what prom is all
about?”

Paninya’s smile lit up her whole face. “That’s my girl! I
vote limo too.” She held up her hand and ticked off her fingers. “All right,
that means we have two for the limo, two against the limo, one—” Paninya nudged
Ling with her elbow. He didn’t move. “—unconscious person, and one vote left.”
She turned her full body to face Lan Fan. “So. Babe. As the tie-breaker vote,
what’s the final decision?”

Lan Fan scrunched up her nose, adorably and angrily. “How is
that fair? I didn’t even want to go
to prom and now you’re making me the swing vote?” All eyes remained on her, but
Lan Fan was only looking to Paninya, who was doing her best to give her
girlfriend the strongest puppy dog eyes she had in her arsenal. “Now that’s definitely not fair.”

Paninya did not waiver. Lan Fan continued to scowl for five
more seconds.

Then she gave in.

“Fine! We’ll get you your stupid limo.”

“Yes!” Paninya fist pumped in victory. “You’re the best, did
you know that?”

Lan Fan grumbled unhappily until Paninya kissed her, a
million little ones on her nose and cheeks and lips until Lan Fan was giggling
and pushing her away before she knocked the popcorn off her lap. “You’re lucky
you’re cute,” she said breathlessly, trying to return her face to its usual
sternness and failing.

Paninya kissed her once more. “Oh, I know it.”

She turned to her friends once more, already pulling out her
phone to bring up the info for the four limousine websites she had researched,
but when she looked up, half of her friends were asleep. She turned to Winry and
Paninya, the two most perfect girls in the entire world and also the only conscious
people left in the room, and sighed. Instead she reached into her front overalls
pocket, where she had kept an assortment of different colored markers for this
very purpose.

“Ladies, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait to book a limo for
now. Until then,” she gravely handed the two girls a marker each, “there’s only
one thing left to do.”

The photos were posted on Instagram immediately, as was
tradition for any sleepover Paninya hosted. “FLEA” in all caps was written
across Edward’s forehead in rainbow colors, Winry’s sketchy script recognizable
to anyone. Ling’s cheek, the one that wasn’t resting on Ed’s thigh, had “PEASANT”
scrawled on it, a meme from ages ago that Lan Fan knew Ling hated with a passion. Alphonse’s
sleeping face was mercifully saved, since Paninya owed him for him doing all of
her science homework for her since the beginning of time. Paninya instead
slapped a sticky note to the unconscious junior’s forehead with a little halo
drawn in orange sharpie.

“Which do you think they’ll be more mad about, the limo vote
they missed, or the face doodles?” Winry asked as she pulled out the air
compressor our of the storage closet for the blow-up mattress.

Paninya shrugged, leading the girls into her room and away
from the snoring boys in the living room. “Doesn’t matter to me,” she said with
smile.

This is was what they got for falling asleep during movie
night, anyway.

Sorry for worrying you.

it literally just dawned on me that Pinako probably thought Winry was dead

Winry goes to Briggs to help with Ed’s automail, and that’s normal enough – but she never calls to check in. And maybe Pinako thought, oh, she’s growing up. She’s off in Rush Valley now, she’s not going to call me every time she goes somewhere – except Winry never calls. Weeks pass. She calls Garfiel, who says he hasn’t spoken to her since she left. She asks around other places and comes up with nothing. She even tries to contact the Briggs military, but it’s a mess and no one will talk to her. She tries to find Ed and Al, but no one knows where they are either.

Months pass.

She starts to wonder if she’s going to lose Winry the same way she lost her son – if Winry was going to leave home to go help someone and never return. She wonders why she keeps losing everyone she cares about. Her house felt emptier when Winry left for Rush Valley, but it feels like a graveyard for those six months, and she tries to fill the space with just herself and Den, and she tries not to imagine that Winry’s dead.

and then finally, after nearly half a year without word from anyone, Winry comes home.
