I love this RoyAi art. Not because it looks amazing: The artstyle, the colors, poses(even when Riza's right arm looks weird lol), it is beautiful. But because of the meaning, which I don't know if it was intended or accidental.

The first time I've seen it I was like: „wouldn't they kill themselves if they decides to shoot the other?“, and yeah that's true. And that's what makes it beautiful. Both exist in an unhealthy dependency. They can't live without the other. Their hearts will always beat for each other. Though, they wouldn't hesitate to kill each other if one gives into their madness(example: the iconic 'don't go where I can't follow' scene ; in the game prince of dawn, Roy was ready to attack Riza, if she actually was going to kill the prince of Aeurgo.). I think the reason for this dynamic is that, even though they both love each other so much, they're not blinded by that feeling. Both are tactical, rational and have their own moral. Unable to be shaken by anyone. Also I think the guilt is driving them forward. Riza feels guilty for the actions of Roy in Ishval, she was the one that gave him the flame alchemy after all. And Roy? He feels guilty for dragging the woman he wants to see happy into hell.

Roy is an idealist, wanting to change the world. It's his purpose in an otherwise meaningless life. He couldn't be happy with a family with an other woman than Riza, but for this he has to give up the promise between these two. The promise that gives Riza her purpose in an otherwise meaningless life. (Who could guess that I'm a nihilist?)

Also, the series shows us that this promise is the only thing that could stop Roy from madness. From making an second Ishval, when the wrong people have to much power. He's a lapdog of the military after all.

Roy wants to get high up, just not without Riza.

And since they're so depended on each other, they couldn't live with the other dead.

So if Riza would've killed Roy, she would've killed herself, like she said.

And if Riza would've gotten killed by the weird doc, Roy surely would've gone crazy, more than when he executed Envy. No one who could lead him on the right part again. Finding his death maybe by the hands of father? I'm 100% sure that Roy could've burned Bradly, if he was in his rage mode he showed earlier. But I stop going into this maybe-thing.

This dependency isn't something that a real humanbeing should crave. Nevertheless it's my favorite trope, since even though I'm aromantic, I've fallen in love with the idea of love. Only needing that person, I'll never have. That's why Hannigram and RoyAi are my favorite ships. Both are unhealthy, both are destructive, they're beautiful. But only as long as you aren't a part of them.

When your love is killing you, is it a good death?

If you've read until the end: thank you for listening to my pointless thoughts about two fictional characters lol.

For royai day ❤️

royai au where they never meet bc of roy being berthold's apprentice but riza moves to resembool to take care of her cousins (not actually, but her dad knew hohenheim so she vaguely knows the elrics) and roy moves there to work at the rockbell's after ishval (he went as a regular soldier, but can still do alchemy) and then he and riza slowly fall in love

yes ive been playing stardew valley, so what?

Roy!Pride AU

Here's another scene from my "I don't know what to call it but I'm working on it anyway" royai story.

I've posted some more scenes on my Patreon, although I will post them here in the future anyway, as I'm still working on more scenes!

what a time we had

summary: A loud squeal pierced the air as one, two, three, pigeons took flight to move out of the child's way, while drawing attention from the nearby patrons of the various restaurants.

Fond smiles were directed at the boy, before they returned to their conversations, their drinks, the food.

Apart from one – a man, who couldn’t tear his eyes away from his son.

an: i'm coming back to royai after being inspired by my recent trip to krakow in poland, where i did a lot of people watching in rynek główny and combined a lot of what i saw into one (i hope!!) wholesome fic

hope you enjoy, and i highly recommend visiting krakow regardless!! absolutely stunning place

snippet:

The sun was high in the sky, casting a golden glow and unseasonable warmth over the buildings, the restaurant patrons, and the tourists. Roy felt his skin flush beneath his suit. Even after taking a quick tweak to his tie to try and offer some fresh air to his neck, he hesitated to take a step forward to interrupt the tender moment. Another happy squeal filled the air. Roy let his hands drop to his sides and watched on, still unnoticed by his family, but still completely enraptured by the sight of them. A loud laugh accompanied his son’s. A young girl ran up behind Maes Mustang and curled her arms, her entire upper body, over his shoulders and head, enveloping him in a hug. Tiny arms flailed outward in surprise, before they lifted to curl around his friend’s in support.

Roy Mustang is struggling with his new life as a retired public servant. After decades of work to the military and people of Amestris, as both State Alchemist and Fuhrer, he no longer knows what to do with himself as a regular citizen.

Riza Hawkeye, concerned for her lifelong partner, reiterates what she’s always told him, that she’ll follow him into hell if he asked, meaning that it didn’t matter what kind of life they had, as long as they were together she’d be happy. Even if their lives had always been mundane. She expresses that, in a different life, she’d be happy just doing laundry and taxes, as long as it was a life shared with him.

Based on the scene in Everything Everywhere All At Once, Roy asks Riza to tell him what kind of life he and Riza could have had in another universe where there was no military, no alchemy, and no war. What are the joys of a simple life?

________________________________________________________________

Here is a new fic I wrote. @ilyanairvine wanted an Everything Everywhere All at Once Royai AU so here is the result. I hope you enjoy it! I had a lot of fun writing it and the movie is one of my favorites so creating an AU for it was super cool. Based off the quote “In another life, I would be happy just doing laundry and taxes with you.”

Thank you ilyanairvine for the inspiration and suggestion!

My self-indulgent Christmas fic.

Updated as of 12/14/22

Singer Riza Hawkeye and Actor Roy Mustang both know the burden and joys of fame. During several slip ups they’re announced as a couple when they’ve never met. They soon find themselves acting together outside the flash of the cameras and amongst the twinkling Christmas lights and watching eyes of Riza's unsupportive family. Soon, the acting becomes just too easy...

a study in reformation

summary: She doesn’t like him, doesn’t like his hair, doesn’t like his face, doesn’t like his conceited attitude and the way he’s looking at her like she’s wasting his time (and not the other way round).

Roy doesn’t care.

Today in class my mind kept going "so what if Riza was made into a homunculus huh?? What then???" So here's a (very lazily drawn and colour) summin summin about that but OMIGOD THINK OF THE ANGST POTENTIAL ROY WOULD CRY 100% HE WILL BREAK

I mean RoyAi is a cute shipname, but has anyone ever thought about calling it Phoenix? I don't have to explain this, right?

Or as a operation name: 'Scar has been spotted, send Phoenix'.

Still, the name RoyAi is sweet! :D

Here's a fanart that i made for them

omg .. riza meowkeye and roy muttang fma ..

@smoothshine told me about a headcanon where Roy and Riza pretend to be a married couple, and need to go on a mission and they’re about to be discovered, so Fuery alerts them and Riza cannot think of something else but to really pretend they’re a couple and kisses Roy to distract their target. For me this would be their first kiss <3

snippet:

“Good morning, Riza.” He must have come down as soon as he woke. His voice was deep and rough, still making her stomach flip, even after all these years. “Sleep well?” “I did, with you by my side. Without, not so much.” Riza rolled her eyes. “Drama queen.” His chuckle vibrated against her back, making her smile. “How long do you think we have until the two terrors wake up?”
