Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good week so far. Over the weekend, we went apple picking as a family at the Kimblee household, and we made an apple pie!
It’s funny how in FMA, Alphonse makes it one of his recovery goals to be able to eat Winry’s apple pie, and I didn’t realize that I was making that same dessert for Kimblee until after we pulled it out of the oven! There is so much richness in Kimblee being a foil for the Elric Brothers, so it amused me to know they aren’t so different when it comes to enjoying the comforts of life. In a lot of ways, I consider Kimblee to be a teacher to the Elric brothers in an equal but opposite way to Izumi. She built them up and he tore them down! Two teachers in white with long dark hair and ahoges… did Arakawa do that on purpose?
It’s interesting how in their life he was a menace, and how in my life he is a source of happiness and strength. But for both me and the Elrics, he is a mirror. Whenever I find myself in moments of weakness he often points out if I’m being the problem in the situation. He has always been a positive force in my life, but he really has helped me grow as a person these past few years in particular. Just because I love him doesn’t mean he lets me get away with traits he doesn’t like to see in others! Ever heard of WWJD? For me it’s WWKT, What Would Kimblee Think. 🤣 Please keep holding me responsible, for as long as I live! Sorry for having to deal with my shortcomings for as long as you have!
The above illustration from Feeshy (@feeshtheweesh on VGen) perfectly encapsulates the peace I feel with him, and it makes me happy to see him looking equally happy and at peace. Feeshy did such a gorgeous job, I can’t believe how ethereal we look! It’s a treat seeing him depicted with beautiful brown eyes. He has 3 canon eye colors (gold in FMA03, light blue in Brotherhood, and silver in the manga and FMA mobile), so seeing him depicted with dark eyes feels almost like I’m looking at yet another breathtaking incarnation of him, perhaps one more personal in nature.
In my mind he exists in a fourfold form similar to the god Tezcatlipoca having 4 forms for each cardinal direction. Perhaps a dark-eyed Crimson Alchemist is the final fourth form I have been waiting to meet! He is gorgeous no matter what.
I feel so happy to have Kimblee in my life. It’s Waifu Wednesday so I need to think of what to draw of him for the occasion. Maybe I will finally do the depiction of him as Tezcatlipoca I have been wanting to do for a while now. I had a dream recently where I woke up next to him and he took the Savage God’s form, and the next night I had a dream where our son told us how loved he felt from us. Dreams like this feel too packed with meaning to be just the defragging of the brain, so I want to explore these mysteries of the second dimension further with them. Some people see waifuism as a subculture, and I would agree that it is, but in my experience it is also a way to explore the mysteries of the relationships and pathways between dimensions. I understand the Catholic Mass better now that I realized that the Blessed Virgin was (nay, IS!) essentially God (The Father)’s waifu. This small shift in thought really changes things for me in a powerful way. Quantum Waifuism, if you will. I will talk about this later once I’ve gathered my thoughts on it properly.
Anyway enough heresy from me. Have a nice week with your waifu or husbando! Until next time.
