You know, I think one of my favorite points of contrast between Ed and Roy is how Ed handled Shou Tucker vs how Roy handled Envy
And maybe youre thinking “hmm, no those were pretty similar. Ed beat the shit outta Tucker until Al was like ‘knock it off ur gonna kill him’, and Roy….beat the shit outta Envy until Riza/Scar/Ed were like ‘knock it off ur gonna kill them’” and okay. That’s definitely similar. But there’s one piece that Ed and Roy handled in exact opposite fashion and I think it says a lot about them.
Both Tucker and Envy try to pull the “Well aint you a monster too?” card. Tucker tells Ed he’s just as bad for messing around with his brother’s life. Envy tells Roy he’s horrible for killing Maria Ross if he knew she was innocent.
And Ed goes absolutely ham on Tucker. He starts yelling and punching up a storm about “No you’re wrong!” as if Tucker’s opinion matters to him. Ed cares what Shou Tucker of all people thinks of him, or maybe it just cut deep enough that Ed halfway believes it himself, and is desperate to deny it.
For Roy–Roy had the perfect chance to pull an absolute zinger. To waggle his finger and go “aha! foolish creature! this is where I’ve bested you, showing myself to be a clever and upstanding man, for I have not killed her!” But Roy just….doesn’t. He doesn’t bring up the fact that he got Maria out safely. He brushes the topic aside and doesn’t let Envy detract from the matter at hand. Roy does not care at all what Envy thinks of him. He’s got no desire to fix his image right there because Envy’s opinion is less than garbage. And he probably doesn’t take the insult to heart, like Ed does, because at this point Roy’s already aware he’s a monster.
In conclusion, this is why Roy is a politician, and Ed isn’t.
FMA Villains Week – Day 7: There’s no Funeral without ‘Fun’. Let’s finish this wonderful week with some more husbando material, shall we?? The theme inspired me to make a redraw of this wonderful fan art I found made by Shin, so the idea is not mine, I simply redraw it because I liked the idea so much. Thanks to the ones who organized this event, it was great to spread the love for the Villains in FMA!! Looking forward to the next Villains Week. C:
Self reblog cause I’m shit and have no shame and still like this artwork very fucking much. CCC: ❤
oKAY BUT everyone would be at least double as upset with him because Gracia is an unarmed housewifeand also Maes’ wife and everyone knows that they’re literally made for eachother and that she’d never kill him but Roy ‘burned her to death’ despite the few evidences there are and that’s just??? not to mention that he technically ‘turned Elicia into an orphan’
every now and then tumblr reminds me that my dad asked for a furry pic for his 57th birthday
might as well tell the story behind that
so, my dad’s birthday is coming up, and since he doesn’t text, ever (he’s luddite that way), i text my mom: “hey, can you ask dad would like for his birthday?”
her response is “well he really likes your animals, why don’t you draw (our real-life dog) in that style?”
now bear in mind my mom doesn’t getwhat i do, or my dad for that matter, so i figure that she doesn’t understand the ramifications of that suggestion. she doesn’t quite see how slapping two hands and a pair of breasts on our real-life dog would be fucking weird.but note also that it was a suggestion that she came up with, not him, so i reply:
“can you just ask him yourself”
she responds “i was just giving you an idea, why don’t you ask him”
“he never texts”
“i will tell him to text you”
and that brings us to
so the lesson is, my mom knows my dad’s tastes much better than i do
i for one wholeheartedly support OP’s dad’s star fox OC
what good is a piano full of Actual For Real Bees if they don’t even know how to play
Transcribed (paragraph breaks are where the video cuts):
“You know, life is normal, I just have to very cautiously move Brianna’s many swords, because there are bees coming out of the piano upon which she stores them!
Okay, the axes are my fault, so, I guess I have to take some of the blame here.
The longbow’s mine, but I’m not taking credit for this: [the camera pans to a staff topped with a carved wolf’s head]
You know, just the Piano Bees, so… Not a big deal. We’re just- we’re not worried about it, we’re just not worried abou-”
this was a simpler time
what is this who is Brianna why do you both have so many weapons
the bees are the least troubling thing about this
so you’re just gonna leave your piano bees alone, no melee weapons, indefensible???
They’re up for preorders until late December, and scheduled for late January/early February shipment. There’s also other stuff in the store so check them out!
