Ok, yes Ed Elric is a fictional character from a manga called 'Full Metal Alchemist' and I don't care that it would sound stupid if I talked about him like a real person. He gets what's it like having a younger sibling that's freaking growing up right before your eyes and sometimes a person is just too stubborn to believe that it's happening because in that person's eyes he/she is still the 'wittle brother or sister' and it's the older siblings job to protect them from well... pain and suffering. Even if that older sibling hasn't been doing a real good job of keeping tabs on her younger sister and now she's dating... things that will happen in the future that she's just got to except: her younger baby sister is growing up and there's she can do to stop it. I wanted to give her space and let her grow on her own accord, let her have the freedom that some older siblings don't intend to let their younger sibs have due to fears of getting hurt? I don't really understand, but today the news sort of hit me full face front like a book sailing across the room and hitting me smack dab in the face, knocking me out cold. To me she was still lil' old her and always will be but she's grown up now, but I'll always treat her the same, as the way I think of her: the little tattle tale, back stabbing girl that I grew up with as my baby sister. She's so like Ed's little brother... Alphonse: the one with the sense and morals between us, the one who always knew what to do in times of stress and saddness, like Al my younger sister was the voice of reason in the family, she was patient when mother or father got angry with me or when a fight had just broke out among the family. It was always like to her to bring everybody back, but still the same blood run in our veins and the same temper underlies somewhere under all the layers of reason and patience. Yeah you can say that she's the ratioal one of the two of us. Whereas I'm exactly like Ed: we swore so much that it would land us in Hell for awhile and we're both hard headed and stubborn up to a point where it's hard to talk to us without getting angry. We block out anything that we don't like or don't want to believe in because the change scares us, we cry ourselves to sleep at night for all the sins from the past and we're both pretty narrow minded on what we believe in when we set our minds to it we'll stoop down to any level to get it done. We're both pain in the buttock and we have great pride in being the eldest ones in the family and our temper is easily set off, both of us are like ticking time bombs ready to go off. Not only that, we both share a simliar hatred towards our fathers in ways no one would really understand, because how can you hate your own father? Well words can't really describe it..only experience can tell you the truth in why we do. Only thing is... he's a much better older sibling than I am, Ed actually knows what goes on in his brother's life protecting him all the time, putting himself first instead of Al; they learn from each other... and Ed's not even real let alone be such a great brother even though at times his stubborness can really be a pain in the ass to handle.
I don't care what you think as you're reading this whether you think I'm ludacris for talking about a ficitional character like that, or that I'm over exaggerating things and being too emotional about such a small case: but it's important to me and if you can't even understand that than you can just kiss my ass and go to hell.
