Roy Mustang: So. Who broke it? I’m not mad. I just want to know.
Riza Hawkeye: I did. I broke it…
Roy Mustang: No. No, you didn’t. Breda?
Heymans Breda: Don’t look at me! Look at Havoc.
Jean Havoc: What?! I didn’t break it.
Heymans Breda: Huh. That’s weird. How did you know it was even broken?
Jean Havoc: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken.
Heymans Breda: Suspicious.
Jean Havoc: No, it’s not!
Kain Fuery: If it matters, probably not… Catalina was the last one to use it.
Rebecca Catalina: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!
Kain Fuery: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Rebecca Catalina: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Fuery!
Riza Hawkeye: Alright, let’s not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, sir.
Roy Mustang: No. Who broke it?
Jean Havoc: Sir, Falman's been awfully quiet…
Vato Falman: Really?!
Jean Havoc: Yeah, really!
...
Roy Mustang: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
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.”

Al: Dad! Brother’s using dirty words!
Riza: Who’s “Dad”?
Roy: From a chain of command standpoint, I guess I am.
scar and mei go to disneyland

Roy: Maybe now you two will start listening to me.
Ed: Unlikely.
Al: But feel free to keep trying.
hohenheim: *leaves ed and al and doesn’t come back even after trisha dies*
izumi and sig curtis:
So I keep seeing those “re-taking old family photos as adults” things all over tumblr and I thought…what if the Elrics retook their old family picture? (And yes this works because they’re totally all alive and well you’d better not tell me otherwise)
Totes gonna color it later.
villager: oh those two? the kids who are really interested in alchemy and seem to have latched onto you, barnacle-like? the ones who are the same age your child would have been by now? yeah they dont have any parents
izumi:
Scar: ive only known mei for a day and a half but if anything happened to her i would kill everyone in this room and then myself
You just know this is a real quote
Roy: Ed is not my son.
Hakuro: Edward Elric? What, that moron little kid?
Roy: That's my son, you jackass!

Fullmetal Alchemist doodles 💖💖
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.”

I was having a bad night so I drew some self-indugent parental dragon!roy
he’s so happy his boys got their bodies back.
Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong: In Briggs you have to be strong. There is no room for weakness or cowardice. Elric brothers: hi. MGOMA: fuck
To be fair I feel like her very. Tough love approach means her whole “No Room For Weakness” stuff and her being attached to the Elrics don’t necessarily conflict skjvnskjfvn
Epic custody battle for the Elric Brothers. Battle Royale. Free for all. any weapons permitted. To the death.
i can’t believe maes hughes died in the battle
roy, running around frantically and holding up a picture of ed to strangers on the street: HAVE YOU SEEN MY SON?????

Royai Week: Day 1 - Parental!Royai (Post Promised Day, Riza smuggled in the cat for Alphonse when she and Roy went to visit them. Ed’s having fun being Roy’s “guide”)
Got any headcanons for mamahawk post promised day?
Riza knows Al has a growing list of foods she has made that he wants to eat, so she brings dishes to the hospital for him to eat once he is able to eat solid foods.
After they arrive home, she calls every couple of weeks to check up on them and to make sure they’re both doing well as they continue to heal.
She is the first person Ed calls to tell about his engagement to Winry. It’s only fit seeing how he realized he was in love with her after Riza mentioned it.
She is a big part of Edward and Winry’s wedding, helping them organize it and helping set up when the big day comes. She doesn’t stand in it, but she has a front row seat. She does steal a dance with Ed, though, and it’s very similar to a mother and groom dance.
She visits the Elric-Rockbell household at least 2 times per year, more if there is a special event (such as birthdays) going on.
Riza is there when Winry gives birth to their first child and she stays with them for two weeks after her discharge from the hospital to help them out with the baby. They can’t help but notice during that time how well she does with children of all ages.
The Edwin kids are constantly in a toss-up, alternating between referring to her as their aunt and thinking of her as a grandmother-like figure because of the way she treats Ed and Uncle Al.
Alphonse visits her for tea every time he is in Central. He isn’t able to always call ahead so she always has his favorite teas on-hand.
The Elrics send her flowers every Mother’s Day, and once their kids are older they do the same. Over time, she ends up with a garden in her apartment once per year.
Fanfiction recommendations?? Love your blog!

forget slow burn romance, give me slow burn found family. give me enemies to friends to siblings. tired, weary old mentors learning to live again for their plucky young apprentices. heroes sharing apartments after world saving adventures because they’re so used to living with each other. dramatic “oh shit” moments where one gets kidnapped and the other realizes “god, that’s my kid.” i want to sit and watch in agony for thirty chapters while two idiots slowly adopt each other, someone get on it
