****NEW CANON****
These are sketches from Arakawa-sensei, of Ed at different stages in his life.  He lives to be 88 (I thought he'd be much older considering he's part philosopher's stone, but just as I wrote that I remembered how he used part of his life force to save his own life in the mine shaft at Baschool)


ETA: Apparently I'm the last person to know these sketches are old XD disregard my old lady fangirling lol
Just wanted to be sure everyone saw this! (and holy fuck 40 yr old Ed is SMOKIN' HAWT!!!!!!)

yes I've seen this before. Ed is hot. I do remember a few years back when this came out that the 88 was hotly debated as to referring to something other than age (for a while many thought it would be the number of chapters)

Oh cool. I hope we see sketches of all the other characters like this.

me too. I'd love to see a Roy one, from when he was a kid to when he's ancient XD

I was just about to say that. More importantly, when does Ed hit his peak of Xerxean Sex God hotness: 20, 30 or 40? I'm not such a fan of the Hoho look, but it was hard for me to decide between 20 and 30. In the end it was 30 by a hair.

[enemytosleep]

20 was hot but it's definitely 30 for me. :D

I could do without the glasses at 40, but I love the chin scruff 8D

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

I'm agnostic about the chin scruff but it is pretty funny to see Ed rocking a Hoho beard. XD

Saw those drawings a while back, but I still love them.

>///< Well this is new to me too =3
40yr old Ed looks just like his father to me, I think I like 80yr old Ed the best, rofl! I wanna squish him and laff while he's cursing all the young whippersnappers XD

Thanks for sharing! *hugglz*

Luv,

The original site these were on is no longer active in parts--the "Ages of Edward" was taken down, and I lost my original copy. THANK YOU!!!

I'm a fan of 30 year old Ed. Not so much of him with a beard like hoho

I love the chin fluff. I love when Havoc grew his out too *drool*
