I’m not sure if Ed was that straightforward about it especially during that time when he was still worrying about recovering their bodies but it’s a funny thought for sure 😀 Maybe he DID /think/ about it sometimes tho, and accidentally slip something to Al, like reading about some person named Theodore he’d be like “Theodore is a nice name, right?” and Al would be like ???
and, well. anything that gets me to open photoshop nowadays is a big plus
so if you’re a guitar player and you see a bunch of inaccuracies, listen. the joints of my fingers hurt just thinking about you playing the damn thing so maybe let me fudge a little bit for the sake of my sanity + health
also, if you wanna try coloring this sketch yourself, for stress relief or otherwise?? I’m making the lineart available at this imgur link because, well, I already killed my chances of ending up in the search by linking to the insp post, so what’s another. just don’t remove my signature. I’m trusting you
I don’t know man, I see this headcanon floating around referring to Ed as emo, but I think his sense of style as a teen is more grungy punk.
Just look at him. He would totally headbang to, “All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me, just one Pepsi!!!”
I envision he would like System of a Down, maybe some Rob Zombie.
I’m totally with you. I’ve always said he would listen to punk rock (yes, maybe even grunge, which is a fusion genre) giving himself a pinch of metal (death and black or speed and trash ♡).
no punk only metal HE IS THE FULL METAL ALCHEMIST AND HE HAS CHEEZY ASS METAL SKULL TASTE
Even better: just metal.
You know what, you guys are goddamn right.
He is FULL
METAL
I absolutely love this take as-is, but may I offer the absolutely cursed addition of Edward Elric being one of Those Guys that can’t not explain a Tool song to you if you show any interest
alchemy already has a bit of sacred geometry in it iirc, and Tool very much goes for that aesthetic as well. and, well… Ed’s info-dumping tendencies are established
I honestly love their outfits in the last episode so I have them wearing their outfits in the picture (this could totally be before Ed leaves for his trip or when he gets home)
