Edward was only 12 when he became a state alchemist, what are you doing with your life
well I have both arms so I think I’m doing pretty good
and my sibling remains in their own body so that’s a plus for me
I’m tall
my mom isn’t dead
My dad lives with me
my house remains unburnt and intact

“Femininity is depicted as weakness, the sapping of strength, yet masculinity is so fragile that apparently even the slightest brush with the feminine destroys it.” —

a guy at school today was wearing this damn fine red nail polish and I heard these two girls whispering angrily and looking in his direction so I listened in expecting them to be weird about it and the first thing I hear is “how the HELL did he get it so good did he get it professionally done or something you need to ask him where he found that colour jesus fucking christ are you KIDDING me”
I think this is a good example of how the world should work.

My life is complete now.
OHGOD. Bob for Robert (Bob). OH MY GOD
Richard/Rich/Rick/Dick
Robert/Rob/Bob
William/Will/Bill/Billy
Edward/Ed/Ted
*The name Ted is yet another result of the Old English tradition of letter swapping. Since there were a limited number of first names in the Middle Ages, letter swapping allowed people to differentiate between people with the same name. It was common to replace the first letter of a name that began with a vowel, as in Edward, with an easier to pronounce consonant, such as T. Of course, Ted was already a popular nickname for Theodore, which makes it one of the only nicknames derived from two different first names.
Harold/Henry/Harry
Sarah/Sally
Mary/Molly
Daisy is a nickname for Margaret because the French form of the name, Marguerite, is also French for daisy.
Chuck= Charles in Middle English was Chukken and that’s probably where the nickname was born.
Hank = from Hendrick because it is the Dutch form of the English name Henry. Henk is the diminutive form of Hendrick, ergo, Hank from Henk.
