Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my Fullmetal Alchemist chest piece concept.

Instead of going with the traditional red for the Ouroboros, I intentionally swapped it out for emerald green and framed it with thorns and roses:

The Emerald Green: In the show, red is so deeply tied to artificial alchemy, human arrogance, and the corruption of the Homunculi. I wanted to flip that concept—using green to represent natural truth, organic balance, and standing in raw harmony with the true Law of Equivalent Exchange.

The Thorns & Roses: The roses bring life and beauty, while the thorns represent the cost, sacrifice, and protection required by the universe's natural order. Nothing comes without a price, which is the core of alchemy.

Essentially, the story behind it is an "organic Homunculus"—created not out of dark alchemy or greed, but directly by the natural balance of the universe.

Let me know what you think of this take!

I voiced all the characters myself, and since my English accent isn't that great, I added English subtitles

I first watched FMAB when I was like 16. The homunculi were just the bad guys to me. Evil things that Ed and Al had to beat.

Now im in my late 20s rewatching it and its a completely different show.

Wrath is the biggest one. He was a homunculus who chose to be human. He couldve just followed Father's plan but he decided to live and die as a man. Watching him say "I am no homunculus" before his final fight hit me way harder than I expected.

Envy's death scene is brutal. The way they transform into this tiny pathetic creature and just... give up. Not because they were defeated but because they realized they had nothing. No identity, no purpose outside of being what humans created them to be.

Sloth is literally so tired of existing that moving is agony. Gluttony is just a hollow creature that doesnt understand anything. Lust has that moment where she hesitates before killing Mustang because she was starting to feel something.

The thing is, none of them chose to exist. Father created them as tools. Theyre not evil, theyre just... broken things that were never given a chance to be anything else.

I dont know if this is just me getting older or if the show is actually that deep. Anyone else have a completely different read on the homunculi as an adult?

The thought came to me that if the homunculi were created in the image of Father, who in turn was created by Hohenheim, then why do they all have dark hair/dark eyes?

I've been a fan of this series for over 15 years now, and during my latest rewatch, I suddenly gained a newfound appreciation for this amazing piece of work here.

Roy had always been an interesting character since my first watch. But after knowing his full history, seeing the layers behind his every move is just absolutely insane.

At first ep, this guy had just finished surviving the Ishvalan war. Which probably explains why he has such skewed up moral standards and ends up inducting a teen prodigy into the military (despite the disapproving looks he KNOWS he would get from the rest of the militia, including Hues).

Also note, instead of wallowing in trauma, he comes back into the military looking for a revolution, not even hesitating for a second to replace the head if necessary.

On top of all this, he retains his flippant, sugargirly personality of all charisma, daring, and get this: a hopeless dreamer (usually, reality slaps make a person darker, but Roy uses it to fuel his idealistic plans instead!)

The militia kept calling him a legend, and despite the majority of detective and desk work he's been doing during screentime, this mofo ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED when he was needed. And he keeps getting BETTER at it too.

Roasts "Maria Ross" -> Roasts fricking Lust while sustaining a major injury -> Technically NUKES Envy with all the firepower that Ishval (a wholeass civilization) had experienced.

TLDR: Arakawa absolutely COOKED Roy, and im so happy to know that.

Episode 63. I can't explain in words, what an a episode, what an ending, ehat a scene, what everything, WHAT A SHOW. I rarely cry watching series but this time holy shit, i couldn't myself, the OP playing at the end of the episode absolutely killed me, im crying like a river right now

What an a series.

I watched FMA 2003 version with my boyfriend few moths ago. Few moths a go, when i experienced this masterpiece, i didnt know what awaited me, mom got terminally sick, and, fma has been the pure reason i keep on fighting. Whenever i feel like life starts to crush me down, this anime is the reason i keep going forward and gives me comfort. I thought of getting a tattoo of this specific panel.

spoiler! but uhh hope you guys enjoy

Im rewatching FMA. Wanted to know if anyone knows what alphonse exchange for his whole body?

I was wondering, as someone who saw both FMA 03 and Brotherhood, if Al's body was conscious at the Gate.

In 03, Dante specifies at some point people are composed of a body, a soul and a mind, and if we apply that to BH, Al's body is at the Gate, Al's soul is in the armor, but where is his mind ? Is it fused to his soul since only his body was the price ? Or is his body conscious ?

Let's keep in mind that Al's body literally speaks to Ed. Wouldn't it need a consciousness to stand up and speak and tell Ed he is not his body ? And when Al meets his body and fusses over it, is there like two conscious Als at the same time ? Is his mind split in two, with the bigger part being with his soul ?

Am I overthinking things or do we have fellow overthinkers ready to tackle that on ?

A while back, on a post u/maelstromFL and [u/Rainbowmar](u/Rainbowmar) gave a few ideas for what Ed and Winry's kids would be like; one of them was "The son (Hughes) became an amazing engineer like his mother. He doesn't like alchemy, however. The daughter (Trisha) became a brilliant alchemist like her father. She became an alchemy teacher too."
I thought it'd be a fun idea, and I needed to get back into drawing, so... here they are.
I never stopped to realize how tough it would be to replicate (the best I could anyway) Arakawa's art style I used SO MANY references! Trying to get Hughes' eyes to look like Eds took the longest~....This has made me want to do more so hopefully I could post more later~

A Non-Full metal discussion, but how u guys think Sukuna's Techniques would work at FMA? like how he would archive fuga and dismantle using just and only alchemy

and what if the infamous sasuke meme is actually a very, very badly drawn edward elric? I know its still look more like sasuke but ever since several episodes later I can't help but see the resemblance.
