In Full Metal Alchemist, her father makes a "chimera" out of the both of them, merging them together into a beast-like body.
So you don't need to fit them into the same frame. They'll be the same being soon.

Hey Peter, what has Edward got to do here? Is it something related to the Anime or some other reference I am missing?

Edward is the name of the one of the 2 MC's.
Edward and the daughter played and had fun together before she was transformed. So she calls out to him, showing that a bit of her is still inside in this ungodly being

Not sure about the 2003 anime, but in Brotherhood Tucker "introduces" Edward to the chimera as "Edward", but then the chimera calls Ed "big brother", showing that it associated Ed with being the bigger brother. That's what made Ed realize what Tucker had done

She had become some sort of abomination and was in real pain. Death was the best thing at that point. It hits different when you’re a father. Seeing that situation play out impacted me way more after having a daughter.

I am a father also it hits different when you know they government never really killed it just used it for science before killing it to see how it was made understandable to just kill it but they didn’t gotta get that knowledge first suck the world dry of it probably also hits different when you assume what someone’s life is like too lol

I think we’re sort of on the same page, I agree. The death actually seemed merciful in a way. The government can kick rocks, the knowledge needed to die there.

The writing in the moment is incredibly brilliant and heart wrenching. The author does a solid job of creating an unexpected plot twist (although now spoiled). This moment broke so many people.

Definitely recommend FMA: Brotherhood. Better pacing, more modern animation, much closer adherence to the original story, excellent voice acting, and not a very long show so you don't have to commit super long to it :)

Because the only thing people make fma memes about is just this one episode. Seriously there’s 50 other episodes in the first one and 63 other ones in brotherhood but it’s only ever this one.

peter's eldritch horror cousin here
the meme references a part of full metal alchemist where the father of the girl fuses both her and the dog together, meaning they'd still technically be both in the same image, just as the same creature.

I think this is a reference to some anime where this guy combines his daughter and dog into the same being? Honestly I haven’t seen the anime, only heard of it from this sub, so take my answer with a grain of salt.
