While I tried things with the other painting, I'm actually more happy with this one, but this is like, my drawing comfort zone. I mean. Not the fact that I hurt Roy again. Or maybe idk 😒
If anyone has tips for getting crisps lines when scanning I'm here... 🥲😖
Yes the paper is green IRL !

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Whether for time or pacing or some other reason, this small moment never made it into the FMA:Brotherhood finale. It’s so small, but it speaks volumes, so I think it deserves some recognition.
This whole series has been big on the theme of “there are worse things than dying”. Death itself is natural, and trying to defy it–trying to not be the person left behind–is selfish arrogance; it’s punished continually. Hohenheim faced what may be considered a fate worth than death via immortality. Ed, Al, and Izumi were punished for trying to undo death. Roy, Riza, and Scar were haunted, possessed, driven to despair by being the survivors in a death-laden atrocity.
Convention states that the “selfless” thing to do is to sacrifice oneself for another. And Ed would do ANYTHING for Al. You’d think it’s logical, that Ed would just sacrifice himself to bring Al back and be done with it.
But THAT is not the philosophy of Fullmetal Alchemist. The SURVIVORS suffer. The ones left behind are left to deal with the grief and loss and loneliness. Ed knows that. He knows that all too well, to the point that even Roy is aware.
And Ed would much rather bear the burden of loss and hurt and grief himself. He’d rather shoulder the worse fate. He’d rather live in a world without his brother. Because the alternative would mean putting Alphonse through that survivor’s life,
And that’s something Ed could never do.

Okay but like... 12 year old Edward Elric being a badass and tough as hell and cursing like a sailor making everyone forget he really is just a kid until he uses little kid vocabulary or acts like a kid. Like he'll say the word "tummy" instead of stomach or only drink juice but insist it be in a coffee mug. He'll threaten death and bodily harm but insist Havoc needs a bandaid for a little cut that isn't bleeding because "it still makes it feel better, dumbass!", which is what his mom told him. Idk just Edward constantly being a child while in an adults world and the way it makes Team Mustang feel.

Way back in 2007 I knew I had to do something with those two and this song, but I didn’t know what, or how. Now I know - this, and something else that’ll come soon.
Sometimes art takes… time.
