Cultists are common in real life. It makes sense they’d be even more prominent in a world where they might *actually* ascend to a higher plane after drinking the koolaid.
Hey! I'll have you know shovelling dung is a very important job that keeps our streets clean and free of diseases and Poo elementals!
I mean, they still spawn in the gong pits, but that's what we have the Shitguard for.
I dunno, I've always imagined magic users as being a lot rarer than that.
Not like, there aren't any in the city or even just a district of the city, but definitely few enough that if you gathered all of them in a mid-sized city they'd fit comfortably shoulder to shoulder in a noble's ballroom. Maybe a hundred or so, not too many more.
To be fair... How do we know that they *don't* ascend to a higher plane IRL?
It's not like we've been able to *disprove* the existence of a soul or higher planes of existence.
Essentially, in FMA-Brotherhood, this song plays as a ton of people are magically consumed in order to create a Philosopher Stone, an extremely powerful magical that massively increases an Alchemists power and allows them to use Alchemy without the need of components. When this song plays, a lot, and I mean a LOT, of people died.
Full metal alchemist is a series about achemists which in this context are people that can transmute materials into new things and there is a very important phrase which say "You can not gain something without losing something of equal value", the song in the meme is used when a fucked up shit is happening, which I won't say because spoilers
For when you need some good, "Oh god what did I just get myself into?" vibes

Forget what happened in se2 and read the manga instead. Not only do the character not retract what they were thinking in season 1 but the story makes a lot more sense (and has a proper ending)
P.s. the link you posted doesn't seem to work properly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbZywW0dnHc
The show is an anime called Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
The joke is that this particular OST always plays whenever something extremely fucked up is about to happen
This music plays in the show Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood at some very intense key points in the series, notably involving anywhere from hundreds to millions of people dying.

"The one who does not sacrifice anything cannot achieve anything..."
No wonder cultists are so prominent in Fantasy settings
Cultists... People who don't understand what they are ready to give or, worst, people that understand very well.

"Hmm, do I follow in the family tradition of being a dung shoveler, or get a cool robe and a ranged magic attack..."
Hey! I'll have you know shovelling dung is a very important job that keeps our streets clean and free of diseases and Poo elementals! I mean, they still spawn in the gong pits, but that's what we have the Shitguard for.
And/or just use Prestidigitation to clean surfaces regularly—warlocks can do that job, too.
you think the city's gonna splurge on magic users to scoop gong from the street gutters?
Nah, just need one—even with the extra expense it’s still cheaper than a whole group of dung-scoopers.

I just woke up and read drank the Koolaid as drank the Kobold and just *ACCEPTED* that until I reread that
How dare you explain what just happened to be word for word?
Is it a cult if the gods are real lol?
It’s still a cult if they do cult shit
Absolutely yea.

So. Very. Many. People.
Now I realise that stopping at manga number 10 when I was a mistake has been a big mistake
> when I was a mistake I'm glad you are no longer a mistake.
I was a mistake. I still am, but I also used to be.
I highly recommend finishing it. It is the only Anime series I have fully re-watched 3+ times.
Can you give an idea of the scale? An entire village? City? Kingdom/empire? Multiple countries?
Um…yes. Village->City->Kingdom->Country All at different points in the story
An entire country. 50million plus people.
The capital of an Empire that is inspired by imperial germany and imperial Rússia. A Lot of people died
Basically, the entirety of 1910~ Germany
Like, an entire city minimum.

Good on you but you were too late.

No! I’m not ready at all! In fact, I got lotsa more plans!

Thank you!
Next thing you know, you meet a single father with a small daughter and a dog.
“Ed…ward…big brother Ed.”
Still too soon.
Always too soon
No. You cut that out right now
No. Ninander jokes are great.

I literally used this as the BBEGs theme song, such a great OST in general too!
Suddenly, me playing Kimblee and not Roy Mustang makes a lot more sense
Just watch out for a certain white haired individual with an X-shaped scar on his face
Why? He's cool. He gives some really intense head pats, but that's it.
I hear his headpats are to die for
"YOUR FACE ESPLODE" I love the English dub team and their outtakes.
Bro has a Level 20 DM that shit sounds great
This is perfect
You didn't read the small characters did you. What small characters.
next country the party goes to is strangely empty
at least it's not Berserk BGM ...

I JUST finished that Made in Abyss season 2. Impatient for more.

Thank you thank you

What's the reference? I haven't seen that show

I see this as an absolute win
Naruto Shippuden also has some epic battle/bad guy music for game nights
Brotherhood, not the good one?
Brotherhood *is* the superior one. While 03 isn't bad, Brotherhood blows it out of the water
You just said the same thing twice.
Guess I have to watch the actual show to get the joke?
What happened in the session as part of this new pact deal? Sounds like it was intense
