The Results Are In!

The results are in!

The Chimera! Ed AU comic will be interactive! (Bc holy fuck 100% voted yes.)

I will go over things now as to prepare everyone or give people a head start on asking questions. (This is only if you want to, these questions should be directed toward the main cast of FMAB but I will explain later on in this post!)

There are a few rules, not that anyone should have a problem following them nor won't they be common sense, but I'm stating them regardless. Y'know, just in case.

1.) No ships should be brought up within this particular AU, especially ships *involving* Ed. You can ask characters their thoughts or relationships with fellow characters as to establish a feel for them. But no questions or statements of "oo you should get together with so-n-so.". Those comments/asks will be ignored unless I can think of a funny reaction a character may have. However, Ed specifically will *not* be shipped with any characters within this AU; Mostly because I feel really uncomfortable having a borderline animal having a relationship with a human (I'm also not shipping Ed with other chimeras.)

2.) No OCs should be asked to be in the au or anything. But, I will give a little leeway in the sense of drawing said OCs as literal background characters. They will serve no point in the plot unless there are some good suggestions (e.g. someone's oc could be one of the lab scientists or smth.) This is a flexible rule but a rule because I will most likely not put people's OCs in the background. The shipping rule also pertains with OCs and Canons (but please don't get me wrong, I love OC x CC, but just not in this AU. Maybe if I were to make a public rp I would give leeway but as far as the comic goes: No.)

3.) No sexual or NSFW questions/asks. I will not entertain those asks/comments. ESPECIALLY if it involves a minor (aged) character. Suggestive asks (to an extent) will be allowed with *only* adult characters. (The miniskirt shit doesn't count as suggestive but if it were, that would be OK to talk to Roy about for example.)

4.) No racial slurs in asks/comments, even if you can reclaim; I cannot and therefore will not add that into the comic.

5.) No physically interacting with characters (ONE EXCEPTION)! This'll lead to things getting confusing, but if you do want to interact with the characters physically ill make it so that you can; Just ask!:)

That's all for rules, simple? I think.

Moving on to characters you as the viewer can interact with!!

- Edward Elric:

He will view the comments/asks as him hearing things, therefore he will most likely panic or act skittish.

- Alphonse Elric:

Asks/comments will be in the form of cats he stashes in his armor, or rather cat; Specifically the yellow striped one he was seen with a decent amount in the 03 anime and GBA game. Al is the only exception to the "No physically interacting" rule. Because asks for him is a cat, so you can (within reason) physically interact with him.

- Scar:

He will probably ignore asks/comments at first! That being said, he thinks it's his brother communicating to him through his arm; Or victims of his arm.

- Roy Pisstang:

He will probably view asks/comments similarly to Ed, but process them with much less panic. Probably believing it to be his gut or intuition.

- Riza Hawkeye:

She is the same as Roy in the ask/comments sense.

- Jean Havoc:

This bbg will think that he's finally reached his breaking point mentally, however, he will entertain the asks/comments to an extent. He is much more relaxed for such with a cigarette.

- Alex Armstrong:

He's just insane and probably thinks his big ass muscles are talking to him. Idk. Or his fucking tuff of hair.

For now, as of the beginning of the comic, these are the characters you as the viewer can interact with!

You can interact in many ways: Ask questions, give advice (do not spoil upcoming events, this takes place in the beginning of manga/brotherhood. Lab 5 went different, read the linked post!)

Anyway. Ask questions, give advice, talk to the characters, torment Ed: As long as you follow the rules, I'm happy.

I found my favorite ibisxpaint brush so I doodled:)

I got the idea to do this from a different artist, I'll tag them in this post once I find their user again!

(Edit: @kinnro-ro is the user! Their version is great and I highly suggest checking it out!:) )

OK I LOVE THIS AU IDEA OMG ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY; BUT ALSO SO COOL AND SMART??

I need to see more of this

full metal alchemist AU where instead of binding Al's soul to a suit of armor, he's bound to Edward's body. they just, share Ed's body.

so many plot holes and issues come from this but im just focusing on the fact that Al can take over control when he thinks Edward is getting out of control so just like imagine him doing a 180 in actions and creeping everyone the hell out like

Ed: *incomprehensible arguing after researching for 2 days straight*

mustang: *arguing back because he's a petty grown ass man*

the Team: *is watching while workin*

Ed: *freezes and shuts down like a robot for 5 seconds*

the Team:??? he gud?

Al/Ed: *laughes sheepishly* terribly sorry about that, Ill take him to bed.

mustang: ...

Al/Ed: *skips out of the room humming and smiling knowing damn well what he's doing*

the Team: ??!??!?!! he broken???

He's so evil, I love him. Got me giggling over here

Unhinged younger brother behavior

No, no, no, I think about this a lot actually; It throws me into a fit of giggles

i feel like the edling side of the fma fanbase completely ignores the comedic potential of your brother being swallowed and sent to a hellish other plane of existence with your weird hungry friend and as soon as he comes back and you get to talk to him hes just like “im gay”

My finished graduation cap!!! :)

It took me around 12 fucking hours though. My hand hurts.
