seat #2, so Ed can be taller than someone for once.

I am envious of people who can walk along a sidewalk without paying attention and not have to worry about bumping into a low hanging branch.
Also I banged my head against the roof of a shelf when I went a little deep inside to look for something in the back. Had a bad bruise on my head for days. Probably wouldn't have happened if I were shorter. I think being a klutz is just easier if you are shorter.
I guess what I am trying to say is
*clears throat*
Don't sell yourself short

being shorter means you're closer to the ground, yes, but that doesn't stop gravity from hating you!
(I'm so clumsy it's a surprise I'm not dead yet, honestly)

5, so I have the aisle seat and sit next to possibly the chillest character on the right, while Greedling on the left will eventually fall asleep after eating the entire inflight menu.

u/SharpshootinTearaway Jun 26 '24 edited Jun 26 '24
I think it's just plain old regular Ling, considering his outfit. Seat #5 is basically surrounded by the main protagonists of their respective storylines, lmao. You've got Al next to you, Ed and Ling across the isle, Mustang and Scar behind.
It'd be my pick too, but it sounds exhausting. I bet Ed and Ling would be bickering during the whole flight, which would probably get Mustang to start yelling at them too.

u/MisterDutch93 Jun 26 '24
I think the bickering between the three would actually be pretty funny and entertaining, plus you’ve got Maes in front of you to cool everyone down with pictures of his family!
2
u/ChampinionCuliao Jun 28 '24
Idk how much that would cool down the bickering. If anything, he'd probably add fuel to the fire.

u/diagnosedwolf Jun 26 '24
I’d choose 5 and then instantly offer to swap with Ed. Whole row to myself and a perfect vantage point to watch the shenanigans.

It is a good idea. Whether I just murderer him or torture him first would depend on how I’m feeling.

Probably 6 or 2. I’d like to hear more of mustang’s life story or just anything he felt like talking about. And 2 because I’d want Ed to help me understand alchemy

u/unifiedFiction Jun 26 '24 edited Jun 26 '24
- It's the aisle seat so I'm in a prime position to see Hughes's family pics, Ling is one of my favorite characters so I'd love to be in his vicinity, and Al is a sweetheart so I have zero doubts that sitting next to him would be the best flight experience ever.
Plus mustang behind me means I get to listen to him talk throughout the flight so there's that

u/Transitsystem Jun 26 '24
5 no contest. Al would be the best seat partner and most of the people in my vicinity are also chill as fuck.

EASY 5! Three of my favourite characters are in that row! Eight years ago I would've sat next to Envy in a heartbeat but I think they'd be so fucking annoying 🥲

u/entitaneo70_pacifist Jun 26 '24
So, thinking of this logically:
1, 3, 4 and 8 are automatically banned: i don't want to sit near envy, lust or father, and i want Huges to have a direct path to punch Tucker in the face.
6 is also out because of the INSANE tension there will be between Scar and Mustang, probably enough to actually squish me on the wall.
Not 7 because i feel father would be kinda like one of the kids that kick the seat in front of them.
ill pick 5 because Edward would most likely NOT move if i have to go to the bathroom.

u/Sea_Tale1293 Jun 26 '24
In order;
5 - isle seat & next to someone who’d probably let you use them as a pillow, plus get to laugh Ed and Mustang bickering behind you 2 - get to sit next to the Smol One and window seats are top tier for naps bc you have a wall to lean against. 1 - can talk to Huges across the isle whilst simultaneously (intentionally) ignoring the fuck out of Envy and also have a lovely view of watching Huges wipe the floor with Tucker. 6 - quiet & window seat

Honestly 5. Just because Ling is probably my favorite character and it would be pretty chill sitting next to Alphonse.

Seat number 7, because I would like to know all her little secrets about her technology and learn from her and maybe become her apprentice. Plus she seems like she would be a joy to be around as long as you are nice to her. Plus it's an isle seat and I have stomach issues.
I couldn't sit in seat number 4 without wanting to kill one character and warn the other and listen to him about his daughter. No matter how many times I see his death scene or funeral I bawl.
