the entire point of winry's character is that you don't need to be a fighter to be strong. and that would be misogynistic if she was the ONLY female character in fma, but considering almost every other woman IS a fighter (and there's a lot of them!), that claim doesnt hold water.

i always loved that about winry, that she sort of serves of an example of how a regular person can change the world. i love that she saw her childhood friends leave and said i refuse to wait at home for those boys like a military wife, i am going to become a better engineer than anyone in the world. she decided that traveling the world kicking ass wasnt her style, that she wanted to improve peoples lives in other ways.

and ed KNOWS that, that's what the whole "your hands weren't made to kill" speech was about. he wasn't saying that because she's a girl - he knows riza, he knows lan fan, he knows izumi, of course he knows women can fight. he said it because it's true, because it's winry, and because she made that decision long ago.

Every time I read the “Toph is a bad example of a disabled character because of her bending.” I want to Physically leap over a table and then flip that table because NO!!!! You do not understand!!!

Toph’s bending is assistive technology!!! It’s a medical aid!!!!!

Toph’s bending allows her to full access her world the same way my mobility aids do, or my medication does. There are times when due to inaccessible surroundings that her aids are rendered harder or impossible to use. Not unlike my own greatest enemy, stairs. However, when she is fully accommodated she’s able to be just as successful and thrive just as much as an able-bodied person albeit differently. Which is the ultimate goal of assistive technology.

Toph’s parents also tried to limit her bending because they saw her as dependent upon them, which is a great example of how society denies disabled people access to assistive technology.

A lot of people have a weird (ableist) assumption that if you show a disabled person being in any way competent, like Edward Elric, Solid Snake, Bentley, Darth Vader or Hiccup, it somehow negates the fact they’re actually disabled

Toph and Edward Elric really work for me because I never once felt like the writers forgot they were disabled. Edward is constantly repairing his prosthetics. Toph can’t read or use her aids on certain surfaces. And these aren’t things that show up once and then never again - they’re constantly referenced through the shows.

I know this is more like two different drawings but I drew them together and together they shall stay. I was inspired listening to a Slovenian song (Bela klop by Zala Kralj). It made me go “must draw” like a frankenstein’s monster. I’ll pop the lyrics on my artblog @fihuli. I translated them for any curious souls - they don’t rhyme though. The singer is a woman but I can imagine Al singing it… I made their mom a bit darker than she is in the show. I think I went with the skin tone I would choose for myself. My subconscious wants me to protect these two boys. XD And I’m not entirely sure why I made Al clutch Ed’s coat in the bottom pic. Out of protectiveness or maybe out of guilt? I kinda understand the coat as a symbol of their sin. Whatever it is, I think it ended up looking like Ed’s a second away from waking up from a suckerpunch. Tell me it’s not so! Also tried a weird technique with this one where I did the lineart after I colored the drawing(s). I kinda like it. I might do that more. It left messier lineart but I think messier linearts make pictures more alive.

guys, it’s that time of the year
