been thinking about ishvalan elrics a normal amount (inspired by these edits by pleasant-misery, ofc)
[id: Four screencaps of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in which the Elrics have been edited to be Ishvalan; Edward and Alphonse have darker skin, and Al has red eyes. Trisha has darker skin, red eyes, and pale grey hair.
The first image is a character card of Alphonse, Winry, and Edward in the epilogue of Brotherhood, with Al returned to his human body, and all of them smiling. The second image is a character card of Trisha and Hohenheim smiling together. The third image shows Ed and Al with their mother as small children, smiling in the sunshine. The fourth image shows Ed shielding Winry from Scar in Episode 22: ‘Backs in the Distance’. /end id]
other notes about this:
- al’s eyes in the armour are red because his eyes have always been red. other armour-bonded souls have their own eye colour
- after their first encounter with scar, ed’s like “so he has red eyes, what’s the big deal?” and mustang explains it and al’s like “but mom had white hair and red eyes and she’s not ishvalan………” followed by he and ed silently going “oh shit mom was ishvalan?” bc trisha didn’t like, talkabout it, there was a war on ffs.
- scar realises ed and al are ishvalan during the scene above with winry present. idk exactly what causes the realisation, possibly the combo of ed jumping in front of winry + some expression al says while they’re talking that he picked up from mom and he doesn’t know is an ishvalan thing.
