This Pizza Place Owner Deserves A High-Five

Drawing is such a stress reliever (//^y^//) Plus, this children textbook's fairy was very scantily clad. I had to cover it with SOMETHING. #Aladdin #Magi #Anime

“Now you, like most people, are probably aware of people’s body language on a subconscious level. Human beings are social creatures. They are made to detect faces and expressions on instinct. Emotions are also something you are sensitive to. A change in your fellow humans’ expression can indicate any number of things. From fear to anger to attraction, detecting the subtle differences can make the difference in survival, hence why it exists as part of your identity.

Interestingly, there have been studies showing that human beings’ instinctive expressions are consistent throughout the entire human race. A person here will facially express anger the same way as someone in Canada or Nigeria would. This implies that showing emotion is instinctual rather than learned. Language, on the other hand, is something that’s learned and is constantly evolving and changing. We’ll focus more on that when we have our lesson on language, but I find the difference neat. It seems as though expressions were the universal language first and vocal communication just followed for convenience sake.”

Some favorite things from the FMA light novels:

Ed being a ridiculously good librarian

Roy getting “encouragement letters” aka chewing out from higher-ups in Central, which he and Havoc used to make paper airplanes, testing the hypothesis that the higher the rank of the officer who sent it, the further it flies

Havoc and friends starting a ghostbusting team

The time Ed and Al were supposed to be figuring out to do about the Tringham bros but Ed went off on a completely different train of thought and wound up just daydreaming about himself at age 19

Izumi gave Al a comic book! So sweet

KIP, MY BELOVED SON. SO GOOD. SO GOOD

Izumi told Ed to fix a broken radio without using alchemy, so he karate-chopped it. It broke even more, obviously

In an age before cell phones and computers, Roy needed a way to track down the ever-wandering Elric brothers, so he closed Ed’s bank account in order to force him to come to HQ and talk to him

Ed wanted to piss Roy off, so while he was flirting with some women, he ran up and started calling him dad. He then got kidnapped by people who believed him to be Roy’s actual son, and nobody was really concerned, in fact they mostly felt sorry for the kidnappers and debated sending flowers.

Al locating Ed in an unfamiliar building by whispering “Hey, bean sprout!” and listening for the rampage from 3 floors above them

Al had an entire subplot about learning to accept himself as he is and understanding that he’s not a lesser person for not having a body, and that he can actually live a good life as he is. His final conclusion was “Yeah there’s nothing wrong with me and I could keep living like this, but fuck it, I don’t feel like it”

The time as kids when Ed and his friend Pit threw pillbugs at the girls in their school, obviously causing them to freak out… Except for Winry, who quietly picked up every last pillbug and later stuffed them down Ed and Kip’s shirts.

ROY DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO PEEL CARROTS

Yeah, pretty much every single viewers get so fixated on the words they forgot the actual weather today. It was sunny. TOO SUNNY. I called the clouds rude for not shielding me from the sun's glares, which is practically their job aside from bringing rain and thunder. So their inaction led to the interruption of what is supposed to be a day of reading under the clouds.

This image may seem innocent and cute, but if you look very closely...

OHOHOHOHOHOHO it’s Tsukasa’s purple heart!

Lmao, I know that it’s already revealed that Hanako killed Tsukasa but I just love the attention to detail and little easter eggs in some of the images!
