the concept of celebrity is a fucking disease watching all these rich famous twentysomethings fuck around in expensive clothes having fun with their rich famous friends will do nothing except provoke the deepest dissatisfaction with life… no one can accept the mundane as long as they look on jealously at people who make money telling the world that they are somehow unique and worthy of the lives they live. i hate it so much i would love to see it vanish overnight
This situation is a modern day “let them eat cake”
FMA has a lot of subtle symbolism but the least subtle is probably the “Ed has a lot of issues with his father” symbolism. The FMA manga starts on the Leore arc and ends on the Promises Day arc so what I mean is Ed started and ended the series by pummeling the shit out of someone named “Father”
I love all the FMA arcs in fact
Father Cornello arc - bad dad tries to cultivate religious army. Ed punches.
Shou Tucker arc - bad dad is the worst dad. Ed punches.
Hughes dies arc - good dad is dead dad :(. Ed punches himself emotionally.
Greed arc - Greed dad bad dad.
Ling and Mei arc - These two share a bad dad. They fight about it.
Hohenheim returns arc - bad dad, source of all Ed’s bad dad problems, returns. Ed punches eventually.
