some of my fav manga scenes that were left out of the animes in no particular order:
tiny baby ed in oversized plaid pajamas and tiny baby al in his too-big slippers holding on to ed’s sleeve
al telling the devil’s nest gang that they’re lame while they’re holding him hostage
ed getting jumped by another dog and al utilizing his big scary appearance to save him (let my brother go, ‘kay? *grrs* KAY? *lightning strikes in the background and the dog runs away in fear*)
that one surreal panel where winry and ed prance down the beach while she chases him with a chainsaw
Roy and Riza meeting the elrics because there was a typo with their ages in the file
Riza making a time travel joke about said typo
envy walking in on ed in the shower and al’s like brother cover ur butt -_-
ed and al’s primary school teacher throwing chalk at them for not paying attention to the lesson
Roy attempting to blackmail ed because he knows about the human transmutation and ed immediately shoots back that he knows about Roy’s pyramid scheme ‘cause he didn’t even act worried when ed tried to spear bradley
Then Roy pointing at ed and being like Riza can u believe this kid and rizas just like u could at least PRETEND you care sir :////
Ling trying to court winry and ed’s just like wiNrY!!!!
Selim calling ed a small bean
that time Hohenheim casually fathered the hell out of ed while also sitting on the toilet
mei fantasizing about her and al skiing and snowboarding
ed nearly having a conniption when he found out Ling was younger bUT TALLER than him so he told Ling he had a freakishly adult face
the one (1) time Roy called Riza by her first name
Al and Hohenheim running into each other and Al’s like DAD?! and Hohenheim’s like MY VINTAGE ARMOR?!
Wow that hurts me as well. Poor boy. Winry better give him the biggest hug. Also, hurt/comfort is my jam so I am kinda wanting to write a fic about this… eventually.
Update on LCMTI: I haven’t been feeling mentally very well lately so that’s partially why I’ve been so slow with writing it, but I got back to it yesterday and noticed that I had missed that universe so much. Hopefully it will have 800 words by tonight and I will be able to finish the new chapter either tomorrow or the day after that the latest.
Aah, the anon is back! Heck yeah, that’s exactly what Al would say (which is sort of funny bc according to Arakawa they are like 18 (max 19) when they get married so they really don’t wait around too long :’D)
