Alphonse's Tears (Contest)

"Now here I am again, trying desperatly to figure out a way to do the impossible. But I'm a hopeless idiot.
All this time and I haven't grown up one bit. I thought
maybe the rain would wash away some of this gloom that's following me. But right now every drop that hits my face
is even more depressing..."
~Edward Elric FMA Brotherhood

"I don't even get that much, without a body; I can't feel the rain hitting my face. That's something I miss all the time. I want to get my body back soon brother. I just want to be human again. Even if it means going against the flow of the world and trying to do the impossible...."
~Alphonse Elric FMA Brotherhood

This is one of two entries im going to enter into yuai77's contest: "Moments of sorrow". I would have to say if one is seeking out very sad heart wrenching scenes, my top suggestion besides wolf's rain would be Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood. Both contain some real tear jerking scenes in my opinion. One that stuck with me the most was the scene with the conversation you see above. As Alphonse spoke staring up at the sky, a raindrop hit his one eyesocket and streaked down, looking like a tear. That defiently made me alittle teary myself, you cant help but feel bad for the little guy. Being stuck in a body like that, unable to eat or sleep or even feel things. Yet despite the body he was damned to be in, he never hated Edward for it, not even a tiny bit. You just have to call him saintly for that, or what I call him "A gentle giant". Like a mini Iron giant from another movie I watched when I was little.

I do hope this at least gets a placing, I worked rather hard on it, plus it's my third time drawing Alphonse yey. :3

View and comment, it will make Alphonse happeh. And you know you want to see that chibi happy hampster face of his. x3
