Not Going Anywhere

Not Going Anywhere

Something different! I watched FMAB earlier this year, and have been self-indulgently rewatching my favorite episodes lately. I know, I was HELLA late to the party, @elsie-mcclay convinced me to watch it (thanks for beta-reading by the way, queen) and I fell in love with the characters. More specifically, Roy Mustang and his not so subtle love for Riza, his amusing turned extremely depressing friendship with one Maes Hughes, and his acting as a parental figure to a very short, very outspoken alchemist. The last of these is what I chose to write about. If you like this and want to potentially see more FMA stuff, please tell me what you think, since I’ve never written for these characters before. I hope you enjoy!

In which Ed and Roy are both idiots who will do anything to save someone in danger, especially if that person is someone they care about. And they stop being stubborn long enough to admit that maybe they do care if the other were to die.

Roy sighed, and checked his watch once more. He didn’t know why it surprised him that Fullmetal was late, again.

He had half a mind to go out for a drink and make the kid wait once he did decide to show up. See how the Fullmetal Alchemist liked having his patience tested.

But as a superior officer, Roy knew he couldn’t do something so childish, even if it would be nice to get some payback. Besides, Riza— Lieutenant Hawkeye, that is —would undoubtedly lecture him about responsibility and slacking off… again.

He didn’t really feel up to dealing with that, or the kid’s wrath today.

Luckily, Roy was saved from his boredom and growing irritation at his most determined yet most vexing subordinate by the phone ringing.

He opened his mouth to answer it with a smirk on his lips, which died when he realized that he automatically expected Hughes’ cheery voice to be the one that answered him, gushing about his lovely wife and adorable daughter.

Roy took a deep breath, feeling suddenly as if a heavy weight rested on his lungs. He hoped it would be the Lieutenant on the phone.

No such luck.

“Yes?” Roy said into the receiver, feeling no need for pleasantries anymore.

There was a moment of silence, and Roy heard what sounded like someone trying to catch their breath on the other line. Then—

“Colonel?”

As much as he hated to admit it, the voice of the young alchemist actually did put him in a better mood. He really had gone soft, huh? “Ah, Fullmetal! Finally decided to call in, have you? You’re already over fifteen minutes late, even worse than last—”

“Colonel.”

The Elric brothers interrupted him all the time, but the urgency in the kid’s voice was definitely new. He sounded… scared? When was the last time he’d heard either of them sound like that?

Roy was instantly on alert. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

The kid huffed a short laugh. “You’re gonna hate this,” he muttered. “I know I do. I’m… I think I might need your help.”

Stretch Armstrong and Why You Should Watch It

1. Stretchy bois

2. DIVERSE stretchy bois!!! Jake has a single, overbearing father and his mother passed away, Ricardo is a black teen with two successful parents who are never home, and Nathan is a Chinese (???? Not stated explicitly) teen with a massive, loving family.

3. Scott Menville (Robin, Teen Titans) and Steven Yeun (Keith, Voltron: Legendary Defender) voice two of the three main leads which is fucking amazing to listen to and provides great amv fodder

4. Main black character who used to be in a gang but pulled himself up and now helps manage and run the most successful company in town

5. Sly Chinese grandpa who finds out the kids are superheroes and instead of telling offers them a cover story if they need one

6. Bad ass female characters who don’t need no man (but still date because girls can do what they want)

7. Boys who aren’t afraid!!! To have feelings!!! And one who’s learning that thats okay!!!

8. Terrible humor and making fun of slang terms. So many puns about stretching.

9. Criminals who are only criminals because they don’t really have another choice who are given second chances instead of jail time

10. Really nice looking animation????

11. A continuous story arch but each episode is still unique to the show

12. Overall diverse show??? Like even background and side characters aren’t just white?? I haven’t watched the whole series and so far there isn’t lgbt stuff, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

13. Botany teacher who is WAY too into plants. And everyone loves said plants. Also botany teach is super protective of his students

14. Bois who enjoy some schoolwork but also hate it. You know, like a normal teenager.

15. Side character bully played by Josh Keaton (Shiro, VLD) who HATES Nathan (played by Steven Yeun [Keith]) which is fucking hilarious

16. Such polite bois who say please and thank you to the villains

In conclusion pls watch this show I’m so pleased with it thus far its worth your time I promise

I know this is kind of strange but my favorite fma au idea is where instead of Al obsessively picking up cats and trying to keep them, Ed obsessively finds small, lost children and tries to adopt them.

“Brother this one probably has parents they’re probably worried.”

“But he followed me home!”

Read this and save a life - YOUR OWN

From a surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher:

Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:

1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.

12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.

please take the time and boost this post by reposting it and sending it to those you love because we all need to understand how to quickly deal with heart attacks

Consider: Ed shouting at Mustang “you’re not the boss of me!!!” And Roy is just like “I am both your commanding officer and your legal guardian. I am the boss of you twice over.”

considered and accepted as canon this definitely happened AT LEAST once POSSIBLY on multiple occasions.Ed will just never accept the fact that sometimes… the bosses and/or dads in your life… are in charge of you….
