Something that’s forever hysterical to me: how all the clever and subtle English-name symbolism in FMA becomes so wallopingly in-your-faceonce you translate the whole series into English
“Ah yes, Riza Hawkeye. The sharp shooter. With eyes so sharp, we’ve taken to calling her ‘the Hawk’s eyes’ on account of this. Riza “The Hawk’s Eyes” Hawkeye. The similarity is coincidence ignore that.”
“Alex Armstrong. With arms so strong we call him the Strong Arm alchemist. Alex ‘Strong Arm’ Armstrong. What were the odds of this.”
“King Bradley, first name King. The Fuhrer, leader, ruler, president. ‘Fuhrer King Bradley’. ‘King King’ if you will. Why our military is full of coincidences.”
Thing #2 that’s forever hysterical: how the English symbolism becomes SO wallopingly literal that at least half the English-speaking fandom never realizes “King” is Bradley’s corny af first name

(A traditional pencil drawing of Edward Elric and Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemist. Ed is a short teenage boy with pale hair wearing an all-black ensemble of leather pants, large platform boots, a shirt and a cropped jacket with white lining and a clasp at the neck. His pocket watch hangs from his belt. Ed’s hair is in a braid poking over his left shoulder and he has an grouchy expression. He is surrounded by sharp little action lines that indicate anger. His right hand is automail and it is clenched in a fist. With his left hand he is holding Ling’s hand. Ling is a taller teenage boy with black hair in a long ponytail and spiky bangs. He has a pleasant expression. He is wearing a pale jacket with a high collar and wide sleeves and a flame design on the bottom hem. His jacket is open, showing his chest and a peek of his top surgery scars. His belt is tied at the front and his pants are loose and baggy. He is wearing black flats and is standing with his feet together. He is surrounded by small doodles of flowers to indicate bliss. The drawing is simple and stylized, with the shading being mostly scribbled lines.)
Inktober Day(s) 5 & 6 : After doing those doodles of Ed the other day, I just had to do one more FMA Illustration. I’m still a very slow inker so it took me a bit of time ;P
Last one done! I have a few more paired up, but I don’t really feel like drawing them. Also, to get this over with…
I am so sorry. Chihiro doesn’t deserve this, I know. But neither did Nina.
I would like to do some alternate ones next since I feel like there were some characters that could have worked just as well in diffrent places. For example, I paired Peko with Lanfan, but she could have worked as Hawkeye as well. Let me know if you have any suggestions or any characters you would specifically like to see me pair. Also, be sure to go look at all the previous ones! Part Three:
