This thought will not leave my head. And I figure this is the best place to share it. One of my favorite shows of all time is FMA: Brotherhood (inb4weeb)

It revolves around two brothers, an otherworldly demonic entity, multiple supporting characters AND their father. Throughout the series the father is seen performing a ritual and traveling throughout the country. You’re never given an explanation as to WHY he is doing this. In one of the final episodes the bad guy wins through use of a solar eclipse and the moon as a gateway and literally absorbs the souls of an entire country and “God”. Using the exact same eclipse but THE shadow of the moon the father of the two main characters plan is revealed. He had been placing a counter to the enemy’s plan through the whooooole series. His counter works and while the main antagonist is still a threat it gives his kids a fighting chance to end the demon (which they do) and the souls of all the people in the country and “God” are restored by his actions and plan. His plan/counter wouldn’t have worked if the enemy hadn’t “WON”

Life imitates art? Confirmation bias? Extreme reaching? Crazy? Yeah probably. But that particular part of the show has kept swirling around in my head since last week and after feeling down due to the “seemingly” downcast no action performance that was Trumps speech tonight and sitting here praying it hit me smack in the face again and I felt I needed to share.

Stay strong and keep the faith pedes :)
