winryofresembool: First of all (I hate having to say this, but): ROY//ED shippers do not interact! Having said that, I think this is definitely an underrated conversation between Roy and Ed. Remember, this scene happens right after Riza tells Ed that once Amestris becomes a democracy (which is what Roy is aiming to do), she and Roy become war criminals, which might lead to their execution. Well, before the frames in these photos, Ed tells Roy that he will pay the 520 cenz back once Roy becomes the president, meaning, he’s telling him he trusts Roy to succeed in his mission and supports him (despite their… well, occasional arguments). But Ed doesn’t stop at the president part. He’s also saying he is expecting Roy to make Amestris a democracy, despite what Riza just told him about their possible fate. If he had stopped this conversation at that point, though, he would have basically said he’s OK with Roy and Riza’s death. BUT HE DIDN’T. He continues: “I’ll make you promise something else”. He is going to make Roy promise to stay alive even after that. And Roy gets this, because he answers: “In other words, you are not letting me off the hook for a very long time.” Oh boy, I love Ed so much, I love Roy too, and I freaking love Arakawa for telling this thing in such a subtle way (that I hadn’t even realized before). Also, as if Ed wasn’t already awesome enough, he has to add that line about the Lieutenant :’) The boy cares so much!!! (Let’s not even get to that scene where he says he wants to see everyone smiling because I’m not OK) TL;DR: I frigging love Ed, and Arakawa is a genius. -- source link
