alright guys its that time of year again
Ok, I love this man with my entire heart :,3
The direct light intersects itself, And without even announcing my destination, I pierce through everywhere.
The thing that I hate the most about this new weave of anime fans is that they’ve generalized anime like other people do with other types of media.
For example, now people only watch “S tier seinen” because they’re the best, they’re peak fiction, the only thing worth watching.
You can bet your ass that they limit their watching/reading to berserk, vagabond, vinland saga, oyasumi pun pun, monster, etc.
Now, there is nothing wrong with liking seinen, I love seinen. It’s just that “weebs” discard every other genre of anime because for them dark seinens are superior.
Otakus weren’t like that. The thing I liked about our fandom, was that there was no shame in enjoying other genre of anime.
Film bros would hate to watch romcoms, romance movies; for them there is a certain embarrassment around watching “girl movies”. But otakus? They didn’t care about that. Your lie in April? Good. Ano Hana? Good. Clannad? They’d call you and say that was the best and saddest thing they’ve ever watched.
The whole “the big three aren’t that good, these seinen should be called that”. Completely disregard the impact that those shonen had on the manga/anime of the time. Not to talk about the complete obsession over proving that your favorite shonen is better than another. I swear to you IT WASN’T LIKE THIS BEFORE. Yeah there may have been some rivalry between like one piece fans and naruto fans, but it was never this toxic.
The complete abandonment of “slice of life” anime because for them the episodes feel like filler, expecting shonen to act like seinen and getting mad when notorious shonen trope is used, and the absolute lack of patience when it comes to slightly slow pacing. I could go on and on, and I just wish that things could go back to the way they were before. We were all fucking bullied for liking cartoons at “our big age” and the fandom made us feel not alone.
There was no “You like demon slayer? MID. it’s just the animation that carries the story. My hero academia? BORING, it follows the same shonen tropes that all the other shonen have, just read aot at this point.”
I’m not claiming there should be the death of personal opinions, quite the opposite in fact. Lately it seems that everybody’s taste is the same. if you ask 5 people their top 5 anime, 3 of those anime will be the same for these 5 people.
We used to share our different interests, now it’s like everyone is locked in the same echo chamber.
Go watch your slice of life anime! Talk about that shōjo! Watch that weird horror with only 4 episodes and 1 OVA! Recommend the super predictable shonen that makes you laugh! Drop that seinen that you’re not enjoying even if everyone says it’s peak fiction! Read that sport manga with impossible moves to replicate in real life!
BRING DIVERSE GENRE OF ANIME AND MANGA BACK
[ID: Screenshot redraw of fullmetal alchemist, there’s Alphonse on metal armor piggy backing Edward, a blond kid with a bright red coat sleeping on Alphonse’s back, they are in the middle of the night in a town slightly lit, the artist’s signature is on the bottom left. / End ID]
Gift (for MYSELF HAHAH <- very normal)
Let's talk about Greed
ohhhh I haven't even gotten into all the ways Greed looking out at the crowd of people he loves and saying "yeah, this is good, this is enough" while he fades away, has damaged me irreparably.
Like the LITERAL embodiment of the greed of a megalomaniac looking out at this rag tag group of deeply traumatized adults and teens who he has spent almost every moment arguing with and saying "this, this right here, this is enough. I have enough"
I reached new levels of mental instability. I think about it daily. It haunts everything I do because how could someone come up with something so simple yet earth shatteringly poetic.
He's Greed the fucking avaricious and he's dying and this is enough. How could it not be? Everyone that loves him is right here, what else could he want.
Personally, I am an absolute sucker for Ed leaning against Al - during his armoured days - when he’s tired or upset or anything similar ❤️.
Did some drawing
Did some art, I tried to recreate their character cards 🤷🏻♀️❤️
Watch FMA 2003 first, complete it if you want but after Lab 5 is when it starts to diverge from Canon; I say complete FMA 2003, watch COS (Conqueror of Shamballa) and *then* move onto FMAB and then SSOM (Sacred Star of Milos), and then the live actions.
I have a question for the Fullmetal Alchemist Fandom. I just started watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, do I need to watch Fullmetal Alchemist before that or not??
Like I googled it and FAB is like a remake, so like idk but I am curious.
Today's doodles
Mostly Wrath, I love him.
But also edling!!!
Bonus sketch: Modern AU doodle
Back with another cursed art. Today we got smurf Ed.
....That's it. That's the post
fuck the talking stage, will you braid my hair or not
” smile, kids.”
Hello everyone, today I bring you Lust and Envy as a very late holiday gift for my sweet friend @dragon-queen21! She is one of my newest friends and God, such a sweet one.
I love you and I hope you have a great day 🫂💖
I just saw a post and it made me think. Y'know what fuck y'all I think Ed should've lost more in fmab when he gave up his Gate.
He had to get Al's *mind, body, and soul* out of Truth's domain. Basically all Ed gave up was knowledge, was fucking *mind*. WHERE THE HELL IS THE SOUL AND BODY??
I think Ed should've lost another limb, I would've laughed. Either that orrrr smth idk. Memories? Of the past 5-6 years he was traveling around Armestris with Al (CoS Al-ified fr)? Mayybbbeee idk. I just feel like him loosing only that and then getting his brother out of Truth's domain completely fine is bullshit. (Albeit, Al's severely malnourished and all but he almost immediately gets bodily strength back)
Holy shit I just thought of a funny idea. Not gonna say it though bc I need to roll it in my brain like a rotisserie chicken first.
Idk I'm tired as hell, you all get yo be subjected to my random thoughts.
Man I'm imagining 2003/CoS Al meeting the Brotherhood Elrics and being like what the FUCK do you mean you just gave up alchemy and everything was fine??
HE'D PROBABLY BE FUCKING LIVID ; CoS/2003 Ed would just be so done, not angry just - fuck hold on let me draw it.
Shinji posed. Ft. Alcohol for my favorite lil alcoholic.
But oh yeah CoS/2003 Al would probably react either verbally or physically violent. I don't hold that above him.
