When You Move, I Move With You

So today is Royai Day. I've had a few failed attempts, but this one's something I'm finally somewhat satisfied with. Started and finished it on the same day, while listening to firstmoonie's fst. [link] The title references to the 5th song of that mix, Collect Call by: Metric.

(Ahh, why must guns, proportions, and Roy's hair be so hard to draw...? ; A;)

It's my first time participating, having gotten started on the series just this year. It's also the first Royai piece I've done, and at that, the first time I submitted a Fullmetal Alchemist fan art. Finding this all amusing really.

The theme for this year had been "My favorite thing about Royai is..." so I suppose I should include that. And thus, my answer to fill in that quote is this: their bond. Through thick and thin they've been there, are there, and will always be there for one another. They've seen the whole spectrum of one another, both their best and their worst, and even seeing the latter wasn't enough to break them apart. There's a subtlety and undertone in their relationship that can't be denied. They connect on ways far deeper than meets the eye, and they're so fully in-tuned to one another, so intertwined in each other's lives. The devotion, the loyalty, the care is simply amazing, astonishing, overwhelming even once you comprehend the deeper aspects of their relationship.

I'm not entirely good with words at times, and don't really know how to explain myself, but I hope that made sense somewhat.

Happy Royai Day everyone!
