This was a warm-up sketch (because you can NEVER have too much hugs with traumachicken Vash), but then I started a palette challenge and a line art experiment… and here we are

One moment in FMA that I think is overlooked is the fact that Ed is so salty about the fact that he looks like Hohenheim, his own father, that he braided his hair. Out of pure spite.
Look. Look. There are so many one-off jokes in media about how everyone's greatest fear is becoming their parents. It's usually a little aside thing a character says at one point of, "Oh my god, I've become my father," or something like that. I even was rewatching Gravity Falls last night and there was a joke in there where when the gremloblin looked into its own eyes and saw its greatest fear, it was all about how he had become his father, which made him run off screaming into the woods. It's just a widely accepted thing that we're all at least a little bit scared of becoming our own parents. And those of us with bad parents? Well.
But this scene right here is one of the best ways I've seen that joke used in a way that's actually fresh and fun without losing the significance. Like. Hohenheim hasn't been there for all of the most traumatic moments of Ed's life. If he'd been around, Trisha might not have even died in the first place. We as the audience completely understand why Ed wouldn't want to be like his dad. We've been aware of it for basically the entire series already just based on how Ed talks about the guy, even though we hadn't actually met Hohenheim yet.
And even so, Ed doesn't even have to say anything in this scene. It's absolutely brilliant. It immediately gives us a moment of "So that's why he braids it," along with a bit of a laugh just from the situational comedy of the whole thing, and nothing even had to be stated. There's no cliche line of "dear god, I've become my father,' or even anyone outright saying that Ed's scared of becoming his father. But we all know.
IDK. It's just. So amazingly well done and all without Ed saying a word. You've got characterization so you know the braid is a choice (on both Ed and Arakawa's part), as well as character development so that you know this is a big, driving fear that strongly influences Ed's choices, plus the more you learn about Hohenheim, the more you realize that Ed is completely justified in being terrified of turning into the guy, plus it's funny because it's not the same joke regurgitated for the millionth time... And all done with only one of the two characters saying anything.
This is what people are talking about when they say "Show, don't tell." So much was done with so little in this tiny interaction and it's so good.

“They say the murderer trapped the souls of his victims in the photos he took. What do you think, Atsushi-kun? Seems like a fun way to die~”
“… Sure. But the murderer stopped and he was never found, right?”
“Hah! It won’t be that way for long. His identity is as good as found now that I’m here!”
