When Edward ran into his father again at Trisha's grave, Hohenheim acts like a jerk, but think about it from his perspective:
He came back home expecting his wife and children to still be alive and in reasonably good condition. In one day, he learned his wife died not too long after he left, his sons are now eligible sacrifices for the Dwarf, his eldest son is missing two limbs, his youngest son is missing an entire body, and to top it all off, his house is gone. Everything inside is destroyed - his irreplaceable Xerxian books, the swing he installed before leaving, pictures and memories of happier days.
And rather than accept responsibility, Edward lied about why they did it, and he's lied so long that even he believes it. Because let's be real here, they didn't burn the house down so that that couldn't turn back - if that was REALLY the reason, they'd have to burn the Rockbells' down, too, and maybe the entirety of Risembool.
Could Hohenheim have been kinder about it? Yeah. But I don't think Edward would've accepted it had Hohenheim not said it bluntly.
Plus, Van had a very difficult day. I'd be a little testy, too.
(It's also important to note that we're seeing it from Ed's perspective, and we know the last clear memory we have of his father is when he left, and while we learn that the reason Hohenheim looked so mad was because he was trying not to cry, Ed didn't.)
genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
i’m kinda obsessed with ben stillers bluesky
i hauve a cold
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
So, roughly 20 years ago, I got really into FMA bc of my older sibling, and we watched the original anime on adult swim together and I always liked it but I never read the entire manga series so I never knew how the actual story was meant to progress, let alone end.
All this is just to say that after 15 years, I finally sat down and watched the entirety of Brotherhood and I just… I want to scream at the top of my lungs bc I don’t know how else to express all of this emotion lmao. Like I’m going insane does anyone need anything!!!!
ok so hear me out
Huge win for the Jiminy Cricket fans
I could look at the flavor text and art of random magic cards for hours on end
