This? This shit right here? Why Mob Psycho 100 is my favorite anime right now.

they should interact

please imagine reigen as another ofa vestige but none of the other’s are really sure how he got there

So, I recently learned about the “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media that has helped Iranians sentenced to die by the regime in the past.

I am now asking you guys for help with that again.

There is an Iranian Jew named Arvin Netanel ben Siona, whose execution date is set for this Saturday. The Iranian Jewish community have tried endlessly to pursue his release, but to no avail.

Please spread his name.

Something about the cc-ifitcation of fanartists in the mcyt fandom is bothering me. you are a fanartist, you make fanart, you are not a content creator. stop trying to be one

these things aren't mutually exclusive

Sometimes you gotta stop worrying about being the smartest and funniest person in the room and just enjoy being in a room with smart and funny people

No no same same literally!!!!! It’s like the first thing I tell any friends when they talk to me about giving Fullmetal alchemist in general a go is I give them the 2003 pitch 😂 (especially if they’ve only seen brotherhood). More people need to see how crazy good the characterization is

I love Al in 03 but if I were Ed.... I would have had to body slam Al into another dimension for even considering that Ed created his memories artificially...

It put so much into perspective when you think about it though, I don't see enough people talking about how tormenting it must have been to be bonded to a suit of armor for years, and then the threat of the armor rejecting his soul at any point hanging over his head? Al must be so traumatized, and now I'm imagining how he would have grappled with having a real, living, breathing body after the end of the series. Ed and Al both went through some of the most terrible shit ever, but Al was just constantly detached from..everything. Ed's thing was that he was only human, but Al... I can't imagine that he felt human at all. He couldn't feel, breathe, sleep or smell. Years of not being able to do any of things that made him physically human, only clinging to memories of his past that were already rapidly fading as he grew older, and then being given back his original form but having to accept the huge sensory overload? I need the Al physical and mental therapy arc NOW! Wake up the writers and force them to create another series.

And this one is random but in the Clara/Psiren episode, Al's mommy issues were showing TERRIBLY.

I also have opinions on the homunculi wanting to become human but I haven't seen enough to create a huge paragraph yet so you can expect that one soon

Yeaaaaah Al's whole existential crisis makes a lot more sense and it's a lot more devastating in 03, cuz Al almost has "proof" thanks to how differently things went down in Fifth Lab. It makes his reaction to it in the hospital kinda understandable (tho still hurtful. Poor bby Ed, he's already traumatized Al come on ;;). ALSO YEAH, PSIREN'S EP REALLY SHOWCASES BOTH THEIR MOMMY ISSUES LMAO. Ed cuz he's in denial and refuses to compare anyone to his super special mommy, and Al cuz he's just desperate for any maternal love.

Oh dude I LOVE how complex the homunculi are in 03. Lust's upcoming arc is esp so good to me. It's the reason why I love her character despite fmab rendering her flat again. I just. I adore how 03 handles them all.

YEAH!!!!! I actually hadn’t watched brotherhood for the longest time, but definitely that’s the thing that bugged me the most when I finally got around to it (tho it was still phonomenal in other aspects); was that Al definitely felt like less of a presence in the push and pull than Ed was. Like you said the gluttony stomach and the Scar encounter are the main ones I can also think of. I’d say you could also make an argument for his actions during the Promised Day too, but alas!!! He doesn’t have nearly as many protective moments as Ed gets, which is a little sad. But hey more reason to try to get ppl who haven’t seen 2003 to watch it is by telling them just how many cool character moments Al has in it 😂😂

HSHSJDJFJDC ❤️ I’ve been perceived!!

YESSSS LITERALLY!!! Alphonse in 2003 is just so. He makes me feel insane. I watched conquerer of shamballa the other week and something that struck me was just how determined he was to save Ed no matter what the cost (even if he didn’t know the circumstances of what he’d let through when he opened up the portal). Ed is willing to go so far to protect Al, but I think smth i love so much about 2003 is how consistently it shows how far Al is willing to go for Ed. Their push and pull trying their hardest to protect and care for each other because neither are particularly good at prioritizing themself brings me near tears everytime- your honor they are BROTHERS and they LOVE EACH OTHER!
