[@CH-zc8qx]

Iirc in the manga, Al says that the reason why Ed and Roy are usually at each other's throats is that they're too similar. It's never explicitly stated, but one could argue that with the Colonel being an older male authority figure, Ed probably projects his feelings toward Hoheinheim onto him. Roy teases and annoys Ed a lot, but at the end of the day, he always watches out for the kids and tries to do right by them in his own way, and the boys know that. To Ed especially, Roy is a superior, a dad, and an annoying older brother all rolled into one. It's subtle but pretty cute.

[@johnsonken96]

Yeah, it’s sorta similar to the trope where a teacher sees something g in a student and realizes that they have something special and talk with them outside of class to see how they are doing. Roy knows Ed is very gifted and knows he’s an orphan, and understands he can’t come across as a parental character or else Ed will get mad.

[@justsomeguywithabeardx]

The way I see it, Roy is Ed if he were given responsibility and forced to obey authority figures instead of giving into his natural disdain for them. So he indulges Ed and presents himself as an authority figure that Ed can actually act out and rebel against a little without consequence. Roy also knows what happens when children and military mix. So he's giving Ed and Al as much semblance of normality as they can get.

[@brandonadrien3476]

Sounds like Kagura's relationship with Gintoki in Gintama

[@OctagonalSquare]

Yeah this is accurate. I’ve worked at summer camps that catered to kids who grew up without fathers (mostly incarcerated, if their fathers are in a certain reform program in the prison system). The boys were much more likely to be angry and all the kids, boys and girls, were unreceptive to the male staff of the camp. The younger boys with older brothers tended to be more receptive to male authority and not nearly as angry. Very similar to Ed vs. Al

Yeah, plus there's a lot of YA fiction that involves teens being child soldiers or struggling for survival in so post-apocalyptic future/dystopian world or something (Hunger Games, Divergent, etc.) I wouldn't be surprised if some of the dark implications of Ed and Al being child soldiers hadn't really set in since it's kinda been a trope in a lot of stories lately.

​@@HollowNoFacethis is your sign to watch or read it

[@letolune]

The adult influences in the Elrics' lives---Pinako, Mustang, Hawkeye, the Curtises, and Armstrong---are the reason Edward and Alphonse were able to grow up loved, disciplined, and protected, with a strong sense of self and morality, in spite of their own parents' absence and their severe trauma. The fact that they have the Elrics' backs is the reason the narrative is able to stay optimistic even during the heaviest scenes. The Elrics were really blessed to have them.

That’s really one of the reasons my heart broke so hard when Hughes passes away. There was a brief moment where it looked like they were normal kids in a happy home, and that was when they went for dinner at the Hughes residence. I could almost picture the Sunday dinners, you know? I’m literally getting choked up just thinking about it. The writers really are amazing

[@Champsr0ck2247]

FMA's honestly one of the few series where the adults make sure they don't fail the kids. "It takes a village to raise a child" is its core tenet. The Elrics' may have lost their mom but at no point in their lives were they without a guardian.

[@Scarshadow666]

It's awesome too because it also ensures more of a finality to the ending than if the Elric's and Winry's traumas affected them into adulthood. Most other series would probably have a sequel series showing the MC's kids/successors having to confront any leftover issues that could still exist long after the previous series ended (whether it's the previous bad guy secretly having a continuum set up that the MC's kids/successors have to fight, and/or the MCs still carry issues/traumas that help create conflict later on). The Elrics looking happy and healthy with their SOs and kids helps end the series in a way that makes things seem like they won't have issues anymore, and probably just wholesome shenanigans.

One of the few times it becomes painfully clear that despite Ed and Al's cunning, genius, perseverance and bravery, at the end of the day? They're still two kids who shouldn't have had to experience hell like their encounters with the Truth, Shou Tucker's sins against nature itself for the sake of his title, or the revelation that the Philosipher's Stone they "need" to repair their bodies was made of countless human souls trapped with a confined space. Yeah, it sucks that there's never enough discussion about that scene. But it kinda helps preserve the impact of Izumi comforting the two as they repeatedly apologize for breaking the one main rule she warned them to never break. There's just something about moments like that in anime and manga that shouldn't be gossiped about, but just experienced personally. Edit: Wait, you were talking about when Roy first met them?! Shit, that moment should've lasted longer!

[@SingingSealRiana]

Honestly, I have a very robust stomach when it comes to horror and messed up stuff, but Nina scared me for life, I still get the creeps when I see long furred dogs with wigs.......

[@Scarshadow666]

My thoughts as well, and imo it's extra haunting because Al was around 10 or 11 at the time! I wouldn't be surprised that most people who think being soul-bound to a suit of armor would not realize it'd be extra hard on a kid, where his whole development could have been stunted and left in existential dread (like Al went through most of his late childhood/teens the equivalent of having his nerves cut off to ruin his sense of touch, and being able to not sleep longer than any human should be). It's not only amazing Al was able to be mentally sound for so long - but also able to still develop into a healthy adult!

This is "No cones and rods in his eyeballs" blind. True Black is interpreted by the brain as the absence of input data, normally it's the lack of light bounce to receive, now there are cases where eyes were removed, damaged, or lost "incorrectly" according to the nervous system, leading to occular nerve ending shorts that are interpreted as colors, but that's not what happened in Mustang's case. In Mustang's case he saw black, the most absolute black possible, there were no nerve shorts to produce color patterns, nor rebound pattern from functional but incorrectly located cones, the cones and rods seemingly were evaporated from existence, leaving the ball itself intact if a little more structurally fragile.

3:47 in my head Ed goes: But when that day comes I'm gonna ask to borrow even more money from you...and pay that back once you marry the Lieutenant.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but 03's Ed/Roy relationship felt more natural than FMAB's.
