The whole “Dave realizes his home life was abusive and works on dealing with it” thing is so important to me you have no idea and i want the Superfriends to have an Encounter (click for captions (if they dont show they should on the original post))
and i want bro to have an encounter with a FIST HAIIIYAH
I can now post my final piece for the aspect zine! I’m really proud of the symbolism in it, playing with the symbol of blood and conveying with it both a link to Sufferer’s eyes (implying his Seer abilities, as well as in the form of tears to represent his grief for everything) and transforming through the blood symbol into a crown represnting Karkat’s leadership position and abilities (Even if Karkats never been the type of leader he considered.) The spikiness of the crown is also to make it feel a bit like a crown of thorns, to echo all the Jesus theming tied with the vantases. Because Karkat’s strength involves bringing together hsi friends to work as one, having them standing behind them was important to me and to the design as well! (I still can’t believe I forgot Tavros ToT)
This is actually a real economic concept called the velocity of money. Let’s say you get paid $10, you use that $10 to buy lunch from a street vendor, then the street vendor uses that $10 to take a taxi home, then the taxi driver used that $10 to pay his babysitter, next the babysitter uses that $10 to buy groceries, etc. That one $10 bill produced $50 of economic value. This is really good for the economy and why it’s bad to give rich people more and more money because all rich people do is horde it. They don’t stimulate the economy multiple times over with it.
So with all the ish that Edward Elric goes through, did anyone else realize that a rock
is the thing that leaves a scar
FOR 21 EPISODES.
That’s a third of the series. For a third of the series- with every fight and battle that the Fullmetal Alchemist is in, it’s a ROCK that marks him for a third of the series.
Actually !! The scar that ed has during the rest of the series isn’t from a rock. He first gets it in his fight with the Slicer brothers in Episode 8:
and then we see him bleeding on his forehead:
Episode 9 we see him with the bandages:
Episode 10 when travelling to Rush Valley and Dublith, the bandages are gone:
AND THEN in episode 13 we see him reopen it in his fight with Greed:
More bandages in Episode 14 and 15:
episode 16 - 20 no bandages:
and then in episode 21 he reopens the scar AGAIN when the rock hits him
episode 22:
again with them bandages: episode 23 - 31
episode 32 he has the scar now:
and then its finally healed in episode 44!!
it healed along with his wound from getting impaled
both brotherhood and arakawa are amazing at adding in details like this its amazing tbh
arakawa actually mentions it in a manga extra that the reason he keeps getting cut there is because the skin is thin from the first blade cut so its really easy for him to reopen it while fighting.
the thing i love the most about fma is the continuity. Like no event is ever forgotten. they still linger in some way
