It's amazing where a hardhat, high vis-vest, clipboard, and a matte white pickup can get you into without any questions.

Also 03 gives us way more time with Hughes and Nina making their deaths a lot more impactful. I would love to see what Funimation would have done if they didn't run out of material to adapt.

Both are great in their own right but I think 03 makes for a better first experience while Brotherhood is better to watch after 03 or the manga.

Ed figuring out clap alchemy in the heat of the moment, Roy killing Winry's parents, the idea of equivalent exchange being bunk, all great changes.

Brotherhood on the other hand skips the train chapter and relegates Yoki's mining chapter to a 10 second flashback, among other cut content.

03 was superior up until it ran out of material to adapt. We get a much more fleshed out story with genuinely good filler that makes the main story richer. Brotherhood skips a lot of the early events because it expects you to have already read/watched them.

I didn't know you could draw blowouts well

OMG you're plural too?

Any support yall can give would be great. I'm running out of time, falling apart, the glue and Popsicle sticks that hold my brain together are failing. I'm at my wits end and can't guarantee I'll live to see tomorrow. I've been pretending to be okay but... I'm not. just tell me yall care...

I don't have the maturity or stability to engage with ABDL safely, which is kinda ironic. I usually just feel like a 5yo surrounded by adults playing pretend and it's just not fun. I wanna play pirate with foam swords and go mach 5 on the merry-go-round, but it seems like no one else does.

I've been having suicidal ideations for months and I might just need to amputate the infected limb before it kills me. I can't even guarantee that leaving will make me wanna die any less, but I know staying isn't helping. I'm traumatized and should really be in a mental ward.

I don't know who I can trust anymore, only that I can't trust myself. Now when I think of ABDL I feel pain, distrust and grief. I remember the people I hurt, I remember the friends and opportunities I lost because of my mental illness. Everything hurts. I need time away to heal.

I have a mental illness that causes paranoid delusions and being catfished for several years didn't help that. I'm properly medicated now, but that only goes so far. I hurt someone I care about because of my paranoid psychosis and while they forgave me I haven't forgiven myself.

I'm also just... really mentally ill and social media has been making it worse. It's giving me unrealistic expectations for my relationships and I treated some people I care about really poorly because of it. I need to focus on my IRL friendships and step away from the internet for a while.

I just don't get the fun I used to from ABDL, and the returns on my efforts to enjoy it have been diminishing slowly for a couple of years. It's been fun but it's time to move on. Thank you all for the support on this website and Twitter.

Is that noodle?

No Jellybean, sweetheart, you can’t bring a hammer to the picnic
