My favourite thing about the Elric boys is like their relationship with women outside their home and their relationship with men outside their home is always like their relationship with their mom and dad. That’s why they respect women and are nicer to them while Ed is completely rude to men and Al is sorta nice but not THAT nice. Club of Women Respectors

So I’m watching Brotherhood for the first time, why did Ed vomit so much when he was digging up his mothers grave? Like why was he sick? I’m very confused

Oh first time! Wow!!! Hope you’re enjoying it!! As for Ed, I believe he got sick because he was getting so worked up and emotional about digging up the thing they made, it made him throw up. In the manga, ed got sick after first creating that thing, and I think digging it up was traumatic in itself and also made him relive that initial trauma of the failed transmutation so he was super anxious and scared and he couldn’t handle it, he was pushing himself too much and he just kinda barfed because of it.
I think it’s possible he also just wasn’t feeling well considering it was raining. Ed’s usually in pain when it rains so it’s possible his stomach was already feeling sensitive or he was already nauseous and doing something so traumatic was just too much for his body to handle.
Anyway! Here’s a small part of that scene in the manga. They do point it out but don’t really go into detail as to why, so I’m just guessin tbh!
