I'm not even posting the meme because the thought of Scar trying to seduce anyone is too absurd. He would never do it on purpose. In a fuck-or-die he would simply die.
even in VR where he's fiddled through enough of his one million complexes, he still would not know how to do it. if someone asked him for dating advice he'd be like "Why would you ask me that"

: I think that's in so many ways The Point, too, like. she Cannot have the same relationship she has had with every other link in the long chain of humans that brought her here. he doesn't even speak the language.
in the (SCANT few) interpretations of him in broader fandom, Scar is usually stripped of his sexuality almost if not entirely Because Trauma and while I don't think that's unfair, I think it's less interesting than it being a sad, mangled thing
it aligns him so much better to be this antithetical counterpart to Lust than her... failing with him because he's ace. if lust is to be a wrongdoing, let it be desire acted upon with force, not the desire alone.
what splits Scar from his brother and Scar from the Elrics is that he would never transmute a person, even if it feels like their absence is the end of the world. the two motifs fall into a nice alignment, there.
his sexuality at least isn't a malignant Thing he forces down every morning, now, so he can actually. act upon it. this is not unrelated to him accepting that he is not a dead thing walking only to violently dismantle Amestrian expansion lmao. kind of impossible to be that when he's not in Amestris.
that mutual loss is the actual difference maker for me, in him actually being willing to tie himself to her romantically. he's already utterly incapable of ignoring her in the series itself, and there is so much energy pent in the "is of this place that no longer exists, and would no longer belong there even if it did"
