this poor man got cursed with immortality in a way that was highly traumatizing, and yet he refused to get angry at the souls making him immortal, because he recognized they had no say in this situation either. so instead he talks to them, even though the number in the hundreds of thousands, and treats them like people, and keeps their memory going.

Van Hohenheim is too damn pure and good and i’m extremely emotional

speaking of fma 03 and brohood differences hohenheim is also…. really different looking you got like a shady old man giving off creepy and sorta icky vibes in 03 and in brohood you just have senior dork buddy

#03 hoho is a weird alcoholic who crawled out of a dumpster to kill himself in The Most Extravagant Way Ever #BH hoho is a mild-mannered college professor who keeps losing his glasses in weird places and grades really gently

anthrop these are A+ descriptions

There are the main 8 of Roy’s circle, and he was trying to overthrow the militaristic government. Any other world, and he’d have been the only one left. But NO, he gets through with 7/8 people. Which is ridiculous with an average coup, except the government this time was built by 6 immortals, an uberimmortal, and divine-level threats. And he STILL DOES IT. The only one who died was Maes, when they didn’t KNOW homunculi existed, and only after he discovered the conspiracy. Just..damn, yo. Respect

True

I’m kinda laughing at the idea of someone trying to comfort Mustang with this like, “Hey buddy come on statistically way more of your team should be dead so it’s pretty cool that only Maes got brutally murdered ya know?”

Probably not the right source of comfort

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: ❤

“She went to visit your papa.”

oKAY BUT everyone would be at least double as upset with him because Gracia is an unarmed housewife and 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’
