Iconic.
I think my favourite part of the Thor trilogy is how at the end of dark world we saw this
And we all just went “OH SHIT!!! LOKI’S KING!!! EVERYONE’S FUCKED!!!” But then Ragnarok rolled around and it turns out all he does is
Watch plays of himself and
Build big statues like hot damn the avengers really wasted a whole movie tryna stop this bitch when they could have just written him a play and built him a statue and he would’ve been satisfied
im still waitin for the day where, for whatever convoluted and/or convenient reason, mustang Has to put ed in charge of the office for the day because ed is the highest ranked officer there
oh man can you imagine?
honestly the fact that Ed is officially ranked as a major never reached its full potential for humor (or angst, honestly, depending on how you use it)
Mustang HAS to put Ed in charge and Team Mustang just kind of….goes with it. They all KNOW they’re mostly just humoring the kid, but ED doesn’t know that, and he is so damn smug about it the whole time. He sits in Roy’s chair and does about 10 different impressions of him until he gets bored. He tries to prop his feet up on the desk but the chair isn’t quite tall enough for him to do it comfortably, so he ends up sitting in a ridiculously uncomfortable position just for spite.
Of course he doesn’t REALLY have full jurisdiction over Mustang’s office, but no one really told ED that, and for the most part Team Mustang just carries all his orders out while trying not to laugh.
Alphonse is so appalled the whole time, though. “Brother, I don’t think you should tell them to do that! Brother, that’s rude. Brother, please transmute the colonel’s desk back to normal, the gargoyles and spikes are kind of tacky.”
Okay so I know I literally already sent you a request and you can ignore this but you did 1920s, now how about 1980s???? Roy with a mullet, Riza's hair teased up to high heaven and hairsprayed until it's hard as a rock. Edward wearing terrible punk fashion while Winry wears all those iconique fashion trends. Everyone has shoulder pads.
I LOVE YOU FOR ASKING THIS, THANK YOU <3
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!”
do you guys know of any parental fics that involve mustang/riza/team mustang saving ed and/or al from some kind of danger or bad situation? im craving some Angsty Shit 😤
Sure do!! Many of these may have torture mention, all will have warning!
Buried–Al is dead. Suicide attempt.
Dollmaker–A serial killer from Roy’s past has one last surprise before he’s executed as a parting gift for the Colonel. Torture tw.
Fever–Edward is getting sick and goes on a mission he wasn’t assigned. Colonel Mustang is not happy when he finds out. Illness mention.
Gold From Lead–There were whispers. There was absolutely no way to stop them. Ed would rip out his spleen if he knew what all those people were insinuating about the two of them.
Light At the End of the Tunnel–While in pursuit of a wanted criminal, Edward and Roy end up in the sewer system below Central. Things quickly take a turn for the worst.
Foul Depths–A killer is loose in Central and an already injured Edward is caught up in the whole mess… whether he likes it or not. Torture mention. Sequels include drug use.
Number Twenty Eight–As of today, Edward Elric had been missing for four months, two weeks, and five days. Torture mention. Chimerism. Sequel is Snow!
Stairway to Paradise–Post saving but very angsty!! Ed has been MIA for months, and when Roy finally finds him, he is blind and more than just physically injured. With the State honorably discharging him, and no father to speak of, Roy has no choice but to care for the boy and try to put the pieces back together. Torture mention.
The Tales and Tails of Elric–Edward went on a mission to investigate missing soldiers, little did he know, he was going to become the next target. Missing for six months, Roy finally finds him in his aunt’s bar of all places, but something is different. It is now up to them to get him back to normal and find out what happened to all those soldiers. Chimerism. Torture mention.
What He Feared the Most–Roy didn’t particularly see himself as a protective man, but when the Fuhrer takes his threats too far, Roy will find something within himself he never imagined was possible.
Whiteout–When the train to Central is delayed due to weather, Ed decides to walk the rest of the way. As the freezing weather blows in, Ed and Al are forced to face an unsettled issue of their past and Roy becomes an unsuspecting witness to a chink in Ed’s armor.
Without Flinching–Shortly after Edward gains his State Alchemist title, he’s already run into trouble. It’s not even been half of a year yet, and already, terror has arrived on Mustang’s desk, in the form of an old walkie-talkie, and a note, saying, “You have 24 hours.” There’s a new threat in the East, and apparently, he wants to play a game. With all of them.
Your Son–“I’m not your father. It’s not fair that you can affect me this much.” A military function becomes a nightmare when Ed accidentally takes a poisoned drink meant for Roy.
“Happy” reading!
the saddest part of a small fandom is having to make the memes yourself :///
Sokka, chucking his boomerang at Zuko: VIBE CHECK.
