What if the reason that Taako says he “invents” surfing is because the two-sun planet didn’t have any moons (and by extension, no tides)?
Also, because they never really spend a lot of time in space, Lucretia never really processes just how big and far away moons really are. Faerun is so similar to home, somebody makes a joke about people living on the moon and she thinks “oh, it’s just like a floating city, okay.”
She asks Maureen to build her “one of those” and points at it and Maureen is just like “yeah, okay” and only three years later does Lucretia realize, “oh, this is fucking crazy”
She just assumed the technology to get to and from moons already existed here which is why they ended up with magic cannons, of all things
imagine lucrecia spending 4 whole journal pages talking about how cool it is that a celestial body orbits the realm and misspelling it “mune” because she doesnt know how to spell it
And then, for a second, it seemed like maybe we could survive the child,
and then, 5 miles under the capital city, an evil homunculus was like, “I have a huge transmutation circle and I’m going to kill everyone to become god!” And before we could say
anything, the child was like, “If you even fucking look at Amestris,
I will punch you to death with my fists. I dare you to do it. I want
you to do it. I want you to do it so I can take my unresolved daddy issues out on you, I’m
so fucking crazy.”
