61. If they could make people do whatever they wanted without any consequences, would they use that power and if so how I think this concept might be kind of unfathomable for him, but it would be the obvious one, I think. Divert state funding to reparations + Ishbalan independence + L + Ratio + Roy Mustang [tos violation]

: 58. When it comes to hope do they view it as: impractical or necessary and why is that I think hope as he would define it would be kind of the only reason he still bothers waking up
Either everything he does is in perpetuation of resisting the state at all costs, or he would rather just die. This is pretty much the only thing that animates him in canon.

: 11. One word they'd use to describe themselves, one you'd use to describe them and lastly a word that their closest/loved one would use to describe them THIS IS TOUGH....
Though he does have a very clear image of self. The words he would use for his goals (which are all he has, as a person) would be too self-aggrandizing for him to apply them to himself.
(not to say that he wasn't LITERALLY saying this shit in early series, but he becomes significantly more grounded after finding the other Ishbalans and developing more of a Plan than just doing random grief spree murder of state alchemists)
*I* think I would apply those words to him, personally; I tend to interpret his character as the antithesis of complacency, particularly when one of the series' concluding themes is "you live in a society and you have an inherent obligation to it even if it's uncomfortable"
29. What criteria do they use to assess others' character I think, generally, it will be by how responsible a person feels for the people closest to them, however that may manifest.
50. If faced with a magical mirror revealing their deepest fear and greatest desire instead of their reflection, what would they see and would they be surprised by it
The "I wish none of All That never happened" is right there, but the idea of pre-Lust never dying and Ishbal not being razed by consequence can't be reconciled with how deeply he hates his brother for what he did following her death.
Had All That simply never happened, of course he would have been perfectly fine with his life. He has the normal amount of "damn I wish that was me :/" that aches but like. A Normal Amount.
But now that he knows? AND now that his stupid brother who he also still loves has died and put this fucking Curse on him by telling him that he did deserve to be in his shoes? Nah he's coughing and shitting blood at the thought.
His deepest fear is hard because like. Truly all of the possible worst has already passed. Maybe the notion that there was something he could have done to make everything happen differently. (there almost certainly wasn't, but it no doubt eats at him)
His deepest wish, the only one that's actually about him, is absolutely supplanting his brother in that relationship (illogical although it was at the time, given his age, but. that's just ground into his brain at this point, he can't turn it off), is one that he is. PROFOUNDLY ashamed of
and I don't think much of this would surprise him at all; if grief never gets smaller but life gets bigger around it, Scar has had absolutely nothing to grow around that grief, which is why he's... like this
UM! hm. barbed wire and clay.
