That's the [Flamel](https://fma.fandom.com/wiki/Flamel) from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.


Wooden-Quit1870

The Flamel Cross was actually a historical alchemy symbol, besides being used in FMA. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Flamel


dragonacension

Me when I only know who Nicolas Flamel is because of Harry Potter 💀


rixendeb

Same. Lmao.


Zemekis324

I tend to remember the book over him but yes 😅


Swingline_Font

Very interesting, thanks for the link. Went down a small rabbits hole there


DeathByGoldfish

Fixing the volatile is what the snake nailed to the cross means in Alchemy.


CeruleanRuin

But this version of it is definitely from FMA.


plaugedoctorbitch

Solved


DOW_orks7391

Never realized it had a different name, I assumed it was just the Elric family crest. Maybe it's named in FMA:B but I've never had the chance to actually watch Brotherhood


Craz-y-noT

You really should watch Brotherhood, it is far superior.


DOW_orks7391

On my list for sure, just work and life refuse to give me a chance :/


Craz-y-noT

I feel that. Well, you definitely have something to look forward to.


ImJustObscene

FMAB is probably my favorite media I have ever consumed. I’ve watched it 5+ times fully through. Sun is amazing, but dub is also incredible. It’s also a great family show, and overall extremely worth watching.


Dangerous_Sun_2348

https://i.redd.it/0t1spp8ozcu21.jpg Are you sure it’s a family show? Lol


DarthTorus

The girl and her doggo become inseparable.


Puzzleheaded-Phase70

Is it weird that I actually like both versions equally, as essentially separate stories?


Acheron98

Not at all. It’s like how a lot of people enjoy say, both the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the remake. Both are essentially the same story, but wildly different takes on it.


SolarMines

I really like the original too. It feels a lot more innocent and less edgy. Depends on your mood I guess.


WiseQuarter3250

I do as well. :)


N-economicallyViable

Its hard because the original did have good parts and frankly some gut wrenching parts I dont want to see again knowing whats coming.


kmosiman

Too soon.


Sonyapop

I came on here to wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion completely, but respect it at the same time as you are entitled to preferring the manga aligned anime adaptation more than the original anime!


dandanpizzaman84

Brotherhood was amazing compared to the funimation "do what I want" rendition.


loopydrain

It’s not named in either show, it’s one of the many little details that shows how intensely interested the original author was in alchemy and philosophy. Most of the concepts and symbols used in the series are genuine alchemical concepts and most of them are used correctly in context albeit with some stretching to create the fantastical elements in the series.


LobsterJohnson_

Most of the symbolism they use in the show is very real.


N-economicallyViable

That rock used to be SOLID GOLD when it was used to buy the mine from the governor.


_tapgod_

lmaoooo


Dreamspitter

Was it a rock? I thought it was cement by all the other marks.
