the combo of ling's "it's my duty to protect and take care of the people I consider my own" + greed's "everything is mine, including people" to create the extremely potent philosophy "everything is mine, including people, so it's my duty to protect as many people as possible"

i don't have the essay prepared but there's gotta be one in the wings about how much of fma:b's philosophy is that lotr-style "yes it's hopeless, but do it anyway"
like marcoh standing up to the homunculi to save his town even though it risks everyone else in amestris: yes, it's hopeless. no, you can't save them. try anyway.
ed and al's fight to restore their bodies without further sacrifice: yes, it's impossible. try anyway.
up to the very end, when al joins the chimera on their hunt to restore their bodies: yes, this is impossible. we're gonna try anyway.
it reminds me of the lotr concept of the irrational hope, the hopeless hope, the hope that is simply the absence of despair. the hope that drove theoden onto pelennor fields: no, we cannot defeat this evil. but we will meet it in battle nonetheless.
because you have to fight. even if you're doomed to lose. you have to try. you have to fight. you have to try.
and through that hopeless hope, that acknowledgement of "yes, it's hopeless, yes, i'm gonna try anyway" they manage the impossible. and that makes them mighty.

Headcanon that one of the first things Edward did once he and Al had recovered enough and gone home was go with him to adopt a cat.
Alphonse ended up leaving with two cats, because they were siblings and he couldn’t bear to separate them.
