Edward - The Living Stone

[Mlle Bienvenu]

There's a HP theory which says that Harry is the Living Philosopher's Stone, . What I'm musing on is, can this be applied to Ed?

First, he wears the colors of the philophopher's stone, mainly red. (A question for those who have seen the series, and you don't have to answer here, if you think it will spoil anything, but... The Red Stone's coloring and visible energy seem to be slightly pinkish to me, rather than a true, primary red like Ed's coat. I'm wondering, if/when we finally see a real Philosopher's Stone, will it be a more reddish red, or the same color as the Red Stones?) Ed's other colors are Yellow and orangey yellow. (his hair and eyecolor, respectively) These are the colors of the phoenix, which, in traditional alchemy, represents the Philosopher's Stone.

As you put it so cleverly in the "Destruction's Right Hand" parody, the bottled Philosopher's Stone Goo looks like very much like the pinkish Red Water from Xenotime.

When he was fighting Scar and saving Ed in "The Ishbal Massacre," Marcoh said that the stone was "flawed". Is it flawed because of how he made it, or is it flawed because of how it was used to subdue/massacre the citizens of Ishbal and kill bystander doctors?

If it's flawed because of his research in making it, then the equally pinkish bottles Marcoh presents to Gran Basque in the flashback sequences of "The Ishbal Massacre" would contribute to this theory.

I believe it is flawed in how he made it. Perhaps his formula needed tweaking or he was missing some ingredients... If it was because of how the proto!Stones were used, then it would stand to reason that the Stone which Marcoh used to heal the sick would have become a true!Stone. But of course, that was the one he said had flaws in it.


And, just so's you know...it was you who came up with the budget joke, if you recall ^_^
