shoes in FMA rated on how comfortable they'd be to fight in

Edward Elric

considering Ed's uhhh very distinct taste in aesthetics, these could be a lot worse. they look relatively comfortable and don't seem like they'd be difficult to move around in. they are platforms though, which I imagine makes things more difficult. I'll be generous and give these a 7/10

Most of the Amestrian military

pretty much everyone in uniform wears the same shoes, so I'm lumping them all together. these are Roy's, if that matters. they look fine. I imagine that because it is part of a military uniform, it's designed to be moved around in and worn for hours on end, so ideally they're relatively comfortable. it doesn't look like there's much traction, but they're usually fighting on flat surfaces so whatever. 8/10

Fu and Lan Fan

these shoes fucking rule. the picture I've included is Lan Fan's, but they wear p much the same shoes. I fucking love these things. they have spikes. Edward Elric fucking wishes. considering this seems to be part of the bodyguard uniform, I'd imagine they're as easy to run around in as the military shoes, if not better since they're expected to be doing martial arts in them. but most importantly, they have spikes. 10/10, no notes.

Ling and Mei

on the topic of doing martial arts, both Ling and Mei wear these.... I'm not sure what they are. flats? slippers? it's unclear. (EDIT: they are apparently Kung Fu shoes!) they seem relatively easy to move around in I guess since they're not very cumbersome and both Ling and Mei rely on being very nimble. they look like they have absolutely no support in the soles though, which is gonna get painful after a certain point. also depending on what fabric they're made of, they could definitely start chafing. I've worn flats. I know that hell. 7/10 for the potential blisters, but at least they're designed specifically for martial arts

Greedling and Bradley

it's hard to get a good shot in this scene because neither of them stop moving, but I swear to god, they're fighting in dress shoes. I cannot stand them. this CANNOT be comfortable. I know Greed prioritizes aesthetics over function so this was probably a compromise between his and Ling's tastes but ohhh my god. he was probably wasting so much of the philosopher's stone just passively healing the million blisters on his feet from running around in these things. there's a chance Bradley is wearing the military uniform shoes but I think he was in more formal dress when he got blown the fuck up, so I don't think so. no wonder he complains about being sore, quit running around in dress shoes you fucking moron. 4/10.

Greed

THESE FUCKING THIIIIIIIINGS. WHY ARE THEY POINTY AT THE END. WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE HIT HIS FOOT WITH A MALLET AND FLATTENED THEM. he's so dumb. I love him. looking at these things tells me he would probably wear goth cowboy boots if he could, and tbh that would probably look better. 3/10 for Greed's overall silly as hell fashion sense

Lust

okay. the heels make sense considering her whole vibe. however. these are part of her fucking BODY. when she gets incinerated, they grow back. can she even take them off???? I'm scared to ask. I guess if theyre part of her body, she doesn't have to worry about adjusting to balancing in them like you would normally with heels, but oh my god. she can never wear normal shoes. I would also be murderous if I had to wear heels all the time. 4/10.

Father and Izumi

guys. these are sandals. it has been four hundred years and Father is still wearing the same outfit he was wearing in the damn desert. find a new outfit man. Izumi is apparently wearing bathroom slippers (hence the WC) so idk why she's even wearing those out of the house. Father gets 0/10 and Izumi gets 1/10 because she still manages to kick everyone's asses while wearing these, so respect

Envy

PUT YOUR FUCKING TOES AWAY. -10000000/10

#fma #fmab #don't take this too seriously I'm just playing around #the main inspiration for this post was the opportunity to pick on greed and envy lmao #I love the spikes on fu and lan fan's outfits so so much #they also have them on their gauntlet things and it rules #I think lan fan should get spiked brass knuckles #I feel bad ranking izumi so low but I do not know how she's fighting in sandals. ma'am. how do you keep them on your feet. #there are some others I didn't include #scar is wearing like. loafers kinda? just normal shoes #which is impressive considering he's on his feet p much all the time #and the briggs soldiers have different boots I think #but I didn't want this post to get too long unnecessarily

Regressor OG!Cale and Regressor!Kim Roksoo based off of that one Skip and Loafer panel

#I think Regressor OG Cale would be a little like Shima Sousuke #just a little #this panel is kinda based off their dynamic #in my fic but also I think this is the kind of dynamic they’d have #Cale who has a lot of secrets #and Kim Roksoo who sees the burdens he holds in Cale’s eyes #Kim Roksoo is also a Regressor but this just means he’s our krs in his teenage body lol #Read skip and loafer guys #life changing manga #I drew this in like twenty minutes so the lines are messy 😭😭 #tcf #lcf #trash of the count's family #lout of the count’s family #tcf novel #lcf novel #tcf fanart

kazakami really is about obligations all the way. whether to himself or his parents, he's decided he's had his time in the first two years having 'fun' and now it's time to focus. but, the thing is, most of his 'fun' is just ticking off some checklist of all things you'd expect to do in highschool (and the one sport he did actually like, he had to stop because of injury). so, does that really count? isn't that just fulfilling a role regardless of his own wants and needs?

anyway, now he's 100% focusing on his third year. despite how kazakami is hitting all the points in the checklist, how he's showing how he's meeting expectations, it's still not enough for his parents. he has the one hobby to himself, his interest in tokusatsu, which he's into enough to have his own figures and to know obscure trivia off by heart. and his parents are just... dismissive of it. "it's for children", they say, as they ignore their own child's needs.

no wonder kazakami never lets on more about his hobbies in school and only portrays himself as the outgoing model student, if this is how he's treated for showing his genuine interests.

#luckily he's managed to find the one crowd that would legit not judge him for his hobbies. #skip to loafer #skip and loafer #stl manga spoilers #but ye kazakami is v relatable in how he ends up feeling ashamed for being enthusiastic about something that doesn't fit the mold #simply because he's been demeaned for it in the past. it's a common theme in this series but it's a common theme irl so. #he's internalised a lot of it too. he's 'had his fun' (what fun) so now he needs to buckle down and try harder (bc it's not enough) #also also. the way kazakami's mum is like “oh those dolls?” she hasn't even bothered to learn what they are before shipping them off to som #dolls vs figures isn't some obscure trivia. it's something you'd pick up fairly easily if you just paid attention. which she clearly hasn't

played around with a re-design for sissel in mixed media. watercolor, ink, marker, and highlighter. you can fit so many shapes in this dead guy.

#ghost trick #sissel #ghost trick fanart #my art #my blorbos are all so predictable. they gotta be dead or doomed #also yes I gave him sharp teeth no I will not explain myself #tho I Will explain why I gave him a ponytail #I like making hair flowy and I can’t do that with his banana hair #it also feels more natural to me #AND you can make it swoosh like the soul flame thing #other changes- loosened up the tie cause mans died he deserves to let loose a little #popped the collar a bit to give a little more edge to the silhouette and made his shoes timbs instead of loafers #otherwise it’s mostly just changing the shapes slightly. making his shoulders a little less pointy and slimming his face #anyways this isn’t to say Sissel’s original design is bad I’m just reimagining it a bit for my own art

[ID: a digital drawing of mitsumi and shima from the manga series "skip and loafer", depicted in their outfits as seen in the opening of the anime adaptation: a yellow sundress, and a blue buttoned shirt with a pink collar, respectively. mitsumi is leaning slightly forward and glances at shima while smiling widely, while shima tilts his head sideways and smiles a small smile towards mitsumi. both of their hands are behind their backs. the background behind them, out of which they stand out, is a frame of pale blue in which cherry blossom petals are falling. end ID.]

I don't know when or why we all collectively decided Shidou's fashion sense consists of anything Pink, Obnoxious, and Eyecatching, but good work everyone. Keep it up

#Reading a fic where sae's wearing a ring with cat ears and I just about lost it #It's the combo of shidou's eyecatching personality and sae's stick in the mud one #I hope shidou dresses him up #I hope everyone knows exactly who he's dating with one (1) glance at sae's get up #Anyway I don't think we've ever seen shidou in casual clothing #So this headcanon is based on his personality + hairdo I presume #I think it would be really really funny if it turned out he dresses like a preppy nerd instead #Like can you imagine #Button up sweater slacks and loafers like chigiri #I would laugh so hard ngl

So whats your favorite thing about Trey Clover? Essays welcomed, encouraged even

CRACKS KNUCKLES, then an essay I shall give you... you have been warned! Now... when i first played the game, I only had very superficial impressions about each character. This was also when there was very little content in the game itself. It was hard for me to gauge which character I would try to emotionally invest my soul into, so I went with a type a character I've always been fond towards: kind and older brotherly or mentor types. I really didn't know much about him besides that and I'm kind of glad I didn't then because everything that came after was a pleasant surprise of consistent and compelling writing. Now, I do think that's applicable to every character so I'll try to be more specific.

I've always talked about how I think Trey's writing is "unique", but that's more of me appreciating that as a character he's specifically written in a way where it's very difficult to take any of his words at face value. Analyzing him feels like a really good brain exercise, and at some point you start to notice he's very carefully crafted his image so he can come off as ordinary as possible. Well, I do think the general fanbase knows he's not exactly as unconditionally altruistic as he's insisted he is and other characters have pointed out he's weird about coming off as average, but I do think there's more to him than just being "two-faced". Frankly, I think it's sort of incorrect to describe him that way. Like, yes, he can be inconsiderate and deceptive, but I find it extremely tame in comparison to the rest of the cast. Ultimately, he doesn't do things because he's a malicious person. That being said, I really enjoy that he's the type of character who can be doting and compassionate, but not exactly empathetic so he doesn't particularly care about not being the most truthful person. I don't think these two things are mutually exclusively, but they're definitely treated as such. It's definitely what I enjoy the most about him, because after that I was like oh, so what about Trey is him being "genuine" then?

Now, Trey isn't a very emotive person, so you kind of have to parse which situations would get him to admit something about himself that won't damage his reputation, won't bring attention onto him, or won't reveal too much about him. There are a few exceptions to this (the biggest being when the topic involves Riddle, but that is a Trey + Riddle essay and will make this ask longer than it is so I'll save that for another day), but in general I tend to cross reference his stories because he can tend to be very... contradictory. Not in a "he's a flippant person" way, but in a "one of the things he said isn't true and you have to see which situation would get him to lie" way.

I guess as an adult, I enjoy this type of writing more as this type of polite 24/7 psychological navigation is relatable haha. Everything I read about him feels fulfilling, like I'm learning something new about him or am able to be conclusive about another aspect of him even though he views himself as just Trey Clover. Nothing more, nothing less. But figuring out his thoughts and feelings he tries so much to cover up will be something about the game I'll never get over.

tldr: Trey says he's some guy ninety percent of the time and someone who's this insistent about it while being fairly inconspicuous but never too terribly evil must be hiding something.

#v.txt #i love trey clover so much man when will i find another character like this ever again #though if you ask me #i think the closest character to his archetypes are like uh; lukas fire emblem #and shima from skip and loafer #just some key aspects he's still considerably different from them in certain ways #asks

having a growing appreciation of character dynamics that involve pedestals breaking. where a character thinks another character their god, only to realise that they're human after all.

sometimes that leads to heartbreak, betrayal. but other times, they grow from it and build a stronger relationship as a result. a more mutual one.

#this is part of why I find shimamitsu in skippy loafer so well written I think #the way that both of them start by placing the other above them in different ways but over time realise it's not actually like that #it's more pronounced with shima's perception of mitsumi just because his perspective of everything is already so skewed #but mitsumi too basically thought shima was her guidance in all things social. and it took them dating for her to realise that actually? #he wasn't able to stand up for her when it actually mattered. (whether that was the best approach for him anyway isn't rly the point) #it's that before then she hadn't really thought he could get it wrong. and whilst her conclusion was 'he doesn't like me that way' #(which is also wrong) it did make her sit back and actually reconsider things (and him) in a way she couldn't have otherwise. #and her then rejecting him led to his own realisation arc. he had to be nudged there by others sure. #but learning that mitsumi's perception wasn't objective reality. that maybe she was also wrong sometimes and made mistakes. #for him it actually opened up more possibilities. she isn't perfect. nor is he. that's fine actually. #(yes I also have other dynamics on my mind but- well. I'm thinking of this one rn #because it actually shows the growth part rather than just the initial fall/angst that arises.)

I’m sorry but I can’t envision that man wearing Nikes, they seem too casual for him.

#had this thought the other day and settled on keeping it to myself #but tonight happened so here it is #like I don’t know loafers seem more his speed #it’s just a vibe I got from him
