This is really great artwork. Really like the facial expression and the way the whole drawing was colored in. 

Can we please acknowledge that Riza pulling her gun on everyone who slightly seems to displease her or disagrees with her (or even brushing her gun constantly and thus intimidating everyone) is exaggerated?

She mostly seems to do that on Roy in fiction. It’s okay to do it once, to do it twice, but come on, this man works with her. He knows her since childhood, he knows exactly how dangerous she can be, with or without weapon. He really doesn’t need a constant reminder and both know it.Nearly the same goes with the rest of Team Mustang as well as Ed and Al. And Riza would sure as hell not be tempted to draw her weapon on a civilian just because he attempts to flirt with her and she is not amused by that.

I feel the same way. I’m glad there are more people out there who agree with this. It’s hard for me to enjoy fan stories, or some rps because people constantly make Riza shoot at Roy(as stated above). Riza is serious but kindhearted. She wouldn’t pull her weapon out on her own teammates just because they “annoyed” her. Let alone on her superior officer. If that was true we’d see it a lot more in the anime and manga. Instead, she normally just sighs or makes a brief remark when they are acting up. It’s trure, she is a sharp shooter, but she isn’t obsessed with her guns. She even states that she doesn’t like them but they can save a life.

I always wonder how many times Travis Willingham had to practice before he was able to rap the whole thing without dying of laughter.

i am so confused and so glad. i probably don’t need to reblog anything ever again what could possibly follow this

If you like FMA, please love yourself and watch the 4koma theater animations. They’re all like this and there’s like 50 of them.

In fact if you know nothing about FMA, watch this anyway. 

haha, this never gets old. 

*I have to be honest, I really enjoy this picture. Love how Roy’s hair looks like it’s being blown by the wind. I also really enjoy that expression he has.*

Reblog this if you're an FMA roleplay blog, please?

Roy: -sighs- of all the things to happen today it just had to be rain.  Riza: Sir…. -Opens her umbrella and lifts it above both their heads- Edward: -Notices Roy- Colonel? Roy: -Turns to face Edward with a rather unpleasant expression- Can’t say I was expecting to see you Fullmetal. What brings you here to Central? Edward: Lets just say I had no choice in the matter. -points to winry- Winry here demanded we go to Central and pick up a few things at some old thrift shop. -Sighs with an angered expression- However, by the time we finally arrived the damn place was closed. -Shakes head- On a different note, I must say you’re looking well Colonel. Useless as ever I see. -smirks- 

Roy: -Glares at him- Don’t you start Fullmetal. -Shakes head- Besides, you’re one to talk. It may not be much but at least I have something covering my head. You on the other hand didn’t even have the dignity to shelter you’r own girlfriend. -smirks-  A true man would shelter his woman at any cost.

Edward: -Raises a fist in the air with a blush- SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND OKAY. SHE’S JUST MY AUTOMAIL MECHANIC -frantically thinks of how to change the subject- BESIDES, I gave her my jacket. -points to roy shouting- YOU on the other hand are mooching off your Lieutenant. So What kind of man does that make you Huh? MOOCHER. Roy: WHY YOU? Riza: -releases a sigh- Sir, please refrain from continuing this childish fight. I am sure miss Rockbell doesn’t want to stand out here any longer than she must. I myself am getting rather tired. Roy: -grumbles- Grrr….Fine…Come on Lieutenant. Winry. -nods her head before glaring at edward- She’s right Ed. Now lets go. -Grabs his hand-  This is suppose to be our day, I didn’t come here to watch you two argue. -Looks to Riza before stomping off- Sorry if you’ll excuse us.  (Every time I see this picture, this is what comes to my mind. Haha. I’m not even sure why but it’s the reason I always chuckle at it. Also I did not make this gif. I wish I knew who did because it was clever to make it actually look like the rain was really falling) 

And here is one of my favorite parts in the manga that sadly did not make it in Brotherhood. Any Royai fan would enjoy it because it shows Mustang getting angered that someone is touching his “Lieutenant” in a rather inappropriate way. Even if he is her Superior, I’m positive Mustang would not act in this sort of manner with any other of his subordinates. I’m sure he would help them out, but making that sort of evil expression and lets not forget the “Flame power…will be extra strong.” Only hints he is very displeased someone is messing with the one he cares for the most. This scene is just another reason why I love these two.

Even in the face of danger the two still find away to tease each other. If that isn’t a sign of love I’m not sure what is.  

Nightmares (Part 1 Maybe?)

The stairs creaked beneath his weight. He stopped, took a moment to breathe, and continued down the stairs. He moved slowly. He could only imagine how late into the night it was and the last thing he needed was an angry Pinako and an even angrier Winry screaming at him.

He stepped into the kitchen and pulled open the fridge. His eyes scanned the contents quietly before removing a bowl. He set it on the counter and moved to the cupboards, grabbing the first bowl he saw. Sighing gently, he scooped some of the corn chowder into his own bowl before returning the larger bowl to the fridge. 

The blonde grabbed two slices of bread and sat down at the kitchen table. Staring into the dark, he frowned miserably. He hadn’t checked the time, but he knew that if he had, it wouldn’t be long before the sun rose. Nights like these didn’t happen as often anymore, but when they did occur, he found himself unable to sleep for hours. Because of this, he found himself in the kitchen, eating alone, hoping to ease his nerves.

“Ed?”

The voice took him by surprise and he jumped, whipping around in his seat. He stared at the blonde woman behind him; Winry Rockbell. Swallowing, he replied quickly, “W-Winry, what are you doing awake?!”

“I was working on some automail.” She replied nonchalantly. The young woman stepped further into the room and scowled down at his bowl. “Really, Ed? It’s three in the morning. You couldn’t have waited a little longer for breakfast?”

“Hey, I don’t make fun of your eating habits!” He snapped in a hushed tone. He rolled his eyes and looked down at the cold chowder and bread. He lifted a spoonful to his mouth and watched Winry make some coffee. He glanced, briefly, towards the stairs and silently hoped that Pinako wouldn’t make an entrance too. One Rockbell was enough for him at this hour.

“So,” her voice was soft, her back turned to him. “Couldn’t sleep?”

Ed frowned, taking another bite of the chowder. She knew him like the back of her hand and he couldn’t decide whether he hated or loved this about her. He found himself always deciding on the latter of the two. There was very little he hated about Winry, after all.

“Yeah.” He responded solemnly, not willing to give her more than that. He continued to eat in silence. 

The blonde woman filled two mugs with the freshly brewed coffee and set them on the table. She sat down across from the young man holding her mug quietly. The two remained in silence as Edward ate and Winry merely stared into her mug.

“Was it another nightmare?” She finally asked, keeping her head down. Her pointer finger traced the rim of the mug.

He swallowed another bite of food. Reaching for a piece of bread, he split it in half before replying, “Something like that…” He dipped one half of the bread into the chowder and set the other half to the side. Silence returned between them.

Nightmares were not something new to either of them. When he was much younger, Ed awoke many times from the frightening dreams. Most of them stemmed from the transmutation of his mother; the guilt he fault at having involved his younger brother, Al, or the fear of never being able to get his body back. Even during their journey, he was often haunted by these nightmares. However, as the boy grew into a man, he found himself confronted with a new set of nightmares. He dreamed of the Gate, the deaths he witnessed, and the many, many times he had almost encountered death himself. Occasionally, he would falter back into a nightmare about his mother and her transmutation, but he was quick to rid himself of such fears. 

“Is there anything I can do?”

The question took him by surprise, causing the man to stare at the woman. He opened his mouth to speak, but could find no words. Instead, he looked back down at his bowl. He processed the nightmare he had had, slowly, and said, “It was just a nightmare, Winry.” He smiled slightly, dipping his second half of the bread into the chowder. “I’m alright. I just needed to clear my head a little.” He looked up at her and the two locked eyes.

“Ed, it’s…I mean, if you ever want to talk about them, I’m always here to listen. Okay?” She blushed slightly and looked down at her coffee. “I know you’re just back visiting for a bit, but we are…getting married soon.” Her blush deepened, causing Ed’s own face to burn red. “And that means that your burdens become my own. You got that?” 

Sighing, he looked down at his food and grumbled bashfully, “Y-Yeah.”

“I mean it, Ed. Don’t feel like…you have to carry so much weight on your own anymore.”

Ed looked up slowly. He watched as the woman stared at him intently, her eyes stern and powerful. He smiled. How could he not? This was the woman he had fallen in love with, after all. She was the very reason behind his smiles and the new calm that had overcome him. She was so caring and so remarkably beautiful. Every time he looked at her, he was overwhelmed by a sudden sense of ease.

Reaching his hand forward, the blonde man rest it atop her own. “I’m fine, Winry. Honestly…” He rubbed his thumb against the back of her hand gently. She smiled warmly towards him. Relaxing under his touch, she breathed softly, “I love you, Ed.”

Blushing heavily from the sudden blow, Ed seemed to physically shrink in his chair. He practically steamed from the heat that bubbled within him and he wheezed out a weak, embarrassed, “I-I love you too.”

For all you EdxWinry Fans out there I thought you  might enjoy this fanfiction. 

“There’s no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can’t gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah… a heart made Fullmetal.”

Send me an Ask/Message any time - I’m always willing to open a new thread or two.

I’m sure a majority of the Royai fans felt like this as well. 

Literally, the sexiest animation of Roy throughout the entire series.
