considering one of my favorite things about Alphonse is that he’s a snarky asshole, I am so delighted I could remind you of the truth
there’s no denying Al is a sweet, sweet boy who is very polite and well-mannered and MUCH more considerate than his brother, but he’s still an ass
he spends most of the manga (lovingly) insulting/teasing his brother
“a fighting idiot” omg al
ok but real talk how often does he describe ed as the “little/small alchemist” when he isn’t there to yell about it?
other top-tier Asshole Alphonse moments include:
that time when the chimeras tried to kidnap him and he was like “you’re right, I should think for myself!” all innocently and then just punched Dolcetto in the face
that time he found out Ling was a prince and literally fell over laughing
that time he completely tore apart Ed’s dumb plan about luring the homunculi out by having Scar attack him
that one time Mei said he looked like his brother and he got SO OFFENDED and started listing off ways he was sO MUCH BETTER AND HANDSOMER than Ed
that time he tricked Pride and was sO DAMN SMUG ABOUT it and sat there insulting him (Pride! The oldest and most dangerous homunculi!) for falling for it
that time he tricked Pride AGAIN and was really smug about it A SECOND TIME
and then a third time
bitch, you tHOUGHT
when he throws Yoki under the bus twice in like two minutes
after Hohenheim told him his life story and asked if Al believed him, Al was like “I haven’t seen you in like 10 years and that whole story was ridiculous”
that one time he straight up yelled at Izumi, which just amuses me because it’s IZUMI and it’s Al screaming, not Ed
and lastly, of course, this utterly iconic moment
alphonse is a very good, kind boy who is also incredibly like his brother, no matter how much he tries to act like he isn’t
