FMA Characters As Modern Family Gifs

Is anyone else just really obsessed with the fact that we’re animals but we disassociate ourselves with them?

Like isn’t that so fascinating? The phrase “I’m not some animal!” Is actually a thing but ??? Yes we are! And it’s so fascinating!! Here’s some things to think on:

•We literally have packs. Whether it be family, close friends, friend groups at school, etc. we all need human interaction, and even some of the most introverted people are included in this. People have been known to die from loneliness!

•We all need strong figures to look at and mold ourselves after. lacking a motherly, fatherly, etc. figure can largely impact who a person grows up to be. Without someone to look up to, a child wouldn’t learn useful lessons from them, what’s right and what’s wrong, etc. We rely very heavily on others!!

•We are EXTREMELY territorial. Have you ever thought about this? Signs are placed around fences designed to keep other humans out saying “trespassing will be insert bad thing here” because humans they don’t know aren’t welcome in their land! Even though it’s really not our land, we pay money to “own” it in the eyes of other humans!

•Attraction. With a few exceptions, (hello asexuals! :D) humans experience the desire to mate with others, but not just anyone! While not everything is about looks, they are a contributing factor! For example, ‘skinny’ people are considered attractive because statistically the less fat an individual has, the higher the libido. Biologically, people like this because A) more sex, and B) more offspring, even if you don’t want children! Your body is still designed to want lots of offspring to keep the human race going. Another example is what society claims to be “beautiful.” Shiny, thick, healthy hair is considered pretty because the offspring an individual with this hair would produce will also have lovely, healthy hair! This goes the same for long legs (for running well) and more!

This list could go on absolutely forever! Feel free to reblog and add some more things :)

I know this is kind of strange but my favorite fma au idea is where instead of Al obsessively picking up cats and trying to keep them, Ed obsessively finds small, lost children and tries to adopt them.

“Brother this one probably has parents they’re probably worried.”

“But he followed me home!”

villager: oh those two? the kids who are really interested in alchemy and seem to have latched onto you, barnacle-like? the ones who are the same age your child would have been by now? yeah they dont have any parents

izumi:

We’re indoctrinated from childhood with the idea that staying home sick is somehow suspect or lazy, and that morally superior people never have their productivity schedule compromised lol, when the reality is that going out in public when you’re sick is a terrible thing to do to immune-compromised and chronically ill people (and “healthy” people) and staying home is a good thing and a right we should all have, not only for our own sakes but for others’

You can only reblog this today.

Stretch Armstrong and Why You Should Watch It

1. Stretchy bois

2. DIVERSE stretchy bois!!! Jake has a single, overbearing father and his mother passed away, Ricardo is a black teen with two successful parents who are never home, and Nathan is a Chinese (???? Not stated explicitly) teen with a massive, loving family.

3. Scott Menville (Robin, Teen Titans) and Steven Yeun (Keith, Voltron: Legendary Defender) voice two of the three main leads which is fucking amazing to listen to and provides great amv fodder

4. Main black character who used to be in a gang but pulled himself up and now helps manage and run the most successful company in town

5. Sly Chinese grandpa who finds out the kids are superheroes and instead of telling offers them a cover story if they need one

6. Bad ass female characters who don’t need no man (but still date because girls can do what they want)

7. Boys who aren’t afraid!!! To have feelings!!! And one who’s learning that thats okay!!!

8. Terrible humor and making fun of slang terms. So many puns about stretching.

9. Criminals who are only criminals because they don’t really have another choice who are given second chances instead of jail time

10. Really nice looking animation????

11. A continuous story arch but each episode is still unique to the show

12. Overall diverse show??? Like even background and side characters aren’t just white?? I haven’t watched the whole series and so far there isn’t lgbt stuff, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

13. Botany teacher who is WAY too into plants. And everyone loves said plants. Also botany teach is super protective of his students

14. Bois who enjoy some schoolwork but also hate it. You know, like a normal teenager.

15. Side character bully played by Josh Keaton (Shiro, VLD) who HATES Nathan (played by Steven Yeun [Keith]) which is fucking hilarious

16. Such polite bois who say please and thank you to the villains

In conclusion pls watch this show I’m so pleased with it thus far its worth your time I promise

I feel bad for all the comics out there tryna capture a kind of soft and nostalgic but also pleasant and believable “teenage superheroes in a small town” aesthetic bc like, Go Go Power Rangers already has it nailed perfectly I mean

tell me this isn’t the cutest shit you’ve ever seen

kindness is beautiful
