funny things Ed and Al do after getting their bodies back (a non-exhaustive list):

- Ed fcking decks anything with his right hand (and almost breaks it after a while) because he keeps forgetting it’s not made of metal and no ed you cant just crush a can under your fist anymore stop

- Al forgetting to wear affect on his face sometimes. He just sits while people are talking to him with a stone-cold murder expression and Winry and Ed constantly remind him relaxed face al! (sometimes just under their breath) and they soon learn to tell him by just a signal by tapping their cheek twice and he shakes his head to snap out of it and smiles because yes! he can smile again!

- Ed’s right arm isn’t as heavy as automail so sometimes gestures just go flying like he’ll lift a plate and accidentally fckin fling the plate across the room behind himself because he accounts for the weight of his automail by accident and moves with way too much gusto

- Al getting pneumonia because he keeps sneaking outside whenever it rains to fcking stand in the rain

- Ed just lifting hot things w/ his right hand without an oven mitt and burning himself

- Al usually sitting with his legs curled close to his chest or legs folded because he couldn’t do that in his armoured body and it feels so nice!! he feels so small!!

- Ed being ambidextrous since he was forced to master writing with his left hand and he perfects the art of drawing transmutation circles with two hands at TOP EFFICIENCY SPEED just because he can

feel free to add more!

- Al reflexively looking down when people try to get his attention before he realises he’s not 10ft tall anymore

- Ed calling Al in Xing with some bullshit alchemy theory like “if we put all the ingredients for a cake in a transmutation circle would we be able to make a perfectly cooked cake here Al I drew the circle already listen very carefully”

- Al at 3am in the morning, dead serious, drawing the cake transmutation circle on the floor

- Al trying to hide kittens under his shirt and finding it’s Not As Effective as being an empty suit of armor

- Ed: I have retired from the military,, they don’t own me anymore,,, from now on I reject and shun their moniker and I shall now be known as,,, the quartermetal non-alchemist

- Al, upon encountering a minor inconvenience, such as eating something he doesn’t like, or getting too hot during summer: getting my body back was a mistake

-al constantly passing out late at night because he forgets he needs sleep now
