Meme: Ask me some questions; I'll tell you some ...

[nebroadwe]

I'm snagging a meme from lyricnonsense (who got it from cornerofmadness, who probably got it from someone who lived in the house that Jack built): "Ask me any question about any character you know I write, and I'll come up with an answer." As the Apostle of Backstory, I spend a lot of time considering the what the gaps between the details might add up to: what people do on their days off, who they meet when the camera isn't looking, what they trip over on their way out the door every morning. (You can find my collected works here, if you need to verify that I've actually written a particular character.)

Go on! Ask me! Ask me!

What was Ed's first memory of tasting milk like?

Also, what is Alphonse's favorite colour?

What was Ed's first memory of tasting milk like?

He doesn't really have one. What he does have, however, is a very clear memory of the first time he ever saw a cow milked and put two and two together. (Damaged, as evil_little_dog's icon puts it, for life.)

Also, what is Alphonse's favorite colour?

Blue. (This is weird -- the answer jumped right out at me, but I had to think why it was, and then I realized that I had this picture in my head of him, aged about seven, lying on a hillside by himself, arms out, looking up at the sky ... and it's all in characteristic Studio Bones color and line, but I could swear it's not a scene out of the anime. Usually I don't have strong eidetic impressions of things like that. Huh ...)
