So if I’m understanding it right, this is basically the equivalent of stopping by a coworker’s house to pick up something and next they disappear and their toddler comes out of some room with a sticky toy phone and hands it to you and you’re just left there like an idiot like UHHHM THAT’S NICE and THANK YOU? and also ANYWAY IS YOUR DAD AWAKE YET? HELLO? ANYONE? and walking into a door as you try to get away.

Some cold, wet mornings, you’ll find the hornbill, sitting atop the termite mound that the Mongoose have taken refuge in over night,  waiting for it’s band of companions to rouse.  A little impatiently it seems, it sometimes taps on the mound, quite insistently.  Before long, the band of mongoose start to emerge from the warm interior, ready to start searching for a morsel or two.
As they forage through the shrubs and grass, the hornbill perches on branches above, snapping up any unfortunate insects, disturbed by the mongoose.  What does the mongoose get out of this, apart from a rude awakening?  Well, since the hornbill gets an easy meal, the mongoose gets in return, greater safety that the hornbill’s higher vantage point gives them.  Should the hornbill spot something dangerous, an eagle or another ground predator, it will utter an alarm calls, sending the mongoose scurrying to the nearest shelter.
This is known as mutualism.  Both species are benefiting from the other with neither being negatively affected.

There is something so …??? I don’t even know the word for it. About Ed and Al’s refusal to take a life

Because there are so many characters in fiction who refuse to kill, which makes sense, killing is a very difficult thing even in situations where it is life or death. There is hardly ever more justification needed than, it’s wrong

But I can’t help but wonder if the Elric’s refusal to kill also comes back in part to the failed resurrection of their mother

The Elric brothers are alchemists, first and foremost. It defines them even outside of alchemy itself. And if their failed human transmutation departed any lesson, it was that there is nothing a precious as a human life, human life is irreplaceable, worth more than anything else could hope to match

And if they cannot bring the dead back to life, how are they supposed to make the living dead? How are they supposed to snuff a human life when there is nothing they can do to balance the scales? Where is the equivalent exchange in that?

There are very rarely justifications given for characters who refuse to kill besides it’s wrong, and there does not need to be. But if you asked Edward and Alphonse Elric why they do not kill, I think they’d give you a reason and that is so …

Peeta hit his head on a pole or something, he was drunk or shit after a party.

Katniss: You fainted, do you remember anything?

Peeta: Only the ambulance ride.

Katniss: That wasn’t an ambulance ride, I drove you.

Peeta: But i heard a siren?

Katniss: That was Finnick.

Finnick: Sorry I got nervous.
