Thursday. Slack sirens are sounding. Duck and cover, baby!



When did you first discover Fullmetal Alchemist?
My GF discovered it. Then I got a New Type magazine and a big postcard fell out. I pinned it up on my cork board. I was this guy with a metal arm and a robot, pretty cool, huh? We went to buy a DVD for a Saturday night dinner for two and anime fest. I had picked up something else, but my GF saw this big stand up of the guy with the metal arm and that robot and she said: HEY, let's try this one out, it's suppose to be good.

Sunday we went back and bought the second DVD.

Are you happy you discovered FMA?
I am FMA's bitch, so it makes me very, very happy. Like crack.

Do you consider yourself a fan?
I will be the last FMA fan standing.

Do you recommend the series to other people?
All the time, I'm down right insistant about it.

Sub or dub?
Both. I love the american VAs, so I prefer the dub.

What do you think of the movie? The OVAs?
At first, I didn't like the movie to much, but then, I saw the Dub and now I like it just fine! I LOVE the OVAs ;_;

What about the manga? Do you read it?
Yes, I love the manga. I prefer it to the anime, though I love BOTH.

Which episode is the best?
Ah, hmmm. I like 13 and 37 of course and I like the whole Lab 5 arch.

Which episode is the worst?
OMG, that one, really early, with the guy who was trying to bring back the chick who grew blue roses? That sucked.

Did you cry at any point in the series/movie/OVA/manga?
I cried in the anime when Ed died and then at the end when after all they'd gone through, they weren't together.

The best opening/ending song?
I love Rewrite! <3

Who’s your most favorite character?
Ed, omg, Ed is love ;_;

Who’s your least favorite character?
Anime Al (but I stress I love MANGA AL so much it hurts)

Which character do you think is the most misunderstood?
I don't think anyone is misunderstood to be honest.

Which character is the most under-rated?
Armstrong!

Which character has the worst past?
They all have pretty tragic backgrounds, but I have to go with Ed and Al as the most tragic.

Is Ed actually short?
4'11, adorably bean sized

So…do the Homunculi have souls or not?
I don't think created humans would have souls.

Yes, with ketchup

Do you hate Winry?
No, I think she rocks

What about Rose?
I'm not a Rose fan

Would you go on a date with Havoc?
Yes, but no pity fuck

Villian, he's a mass murder, makes him no better than the people he hates

Who’s more disturbed: Envy or Kimbley?
I'd say Kimbley is more off his rocker

Did you like Hughes better after he died?
I loved him from the very first episode ;_;

What about Greed?
My favorite Sin, I loved him from the get go, and ESPECIALLY Manga!Greed

Did you like Pride better before you found out he was a Homunculus?
I never thought much about him one way or the other

If you were Roy, would you have killed Winry’s parents under orders?
Kill or be killed? Hard decision. Probably have done it.

Was Hohenheim justified in leaving Envy after he created him, or was Dante the better parent?
I can't stand Dante or Hohenheim, it actually makes me feel sorry for Envy...and I hate Envy XD

Why does Al wear a loincloth?
Modesty?

Why does Envy wear a loincloth?
It's his skirt! It's so cute on him!

Did you think Envy was a girl the first time you saw him?
Yes, I thought he was a girl.

I liked the Youswell guys.

Yoki!

Which characters, if any, do you think are overrated?

LING! Even though it makes me shed virtual emo tears ;_;

Hell no!

No.

Ed.

What’s your favorite pairing(s)?
RoyxEd, LingxEd

What’s your least favorite pairing(s)?
EnvyxAnyone

What pairing makes the least amount of sense?
A good author can make a case for any pairing. (I stole this from [livejournal.com profile] brinylon and I like her answer, so I'm keeping it)

Which is better: FMA yaoi, or FMA yuri?
Yaoi

Do you read/write FMA fanfiction?
I do both

Do you look at/draw FMA fanart?
Look at and drool over? Yes. Draw it? No.

I think it can be fun to have a Mary Sue around sometimes XD

Crossovers?
I've only read one successful one

I like AU's!

Office sex?
YES! *nosebleed*

Both are possible.

Which is more canon (in the anime): Royai or RoyxHughes?
In the anime Royai (up to the movie, anyway).

Would Dante ever open up to anyone?
No, I think she's open them up, given a chance...

Is Envy gay, or would he go with a woman as well?
I have no clue, I'm sure he'd work both ends of the specturm

I'd say yes

Does Roy return the feelings?
I'd say yes

What is the most plausible (non-canon) het pairing?
AlxWinry

The most plausible yaoi pairing?
RoyxEd

The most plausible yuri pairing?
SciezkaxWinry.

Can Envy make m-preg work?
omfg I hope not

yes, so cute!

Who’s your favorite fanfiction author? Among my favorites are: [livejournal.com profile] velvet_mace (PAWNS owned me from word one) , [livejournal.com profile] cryogenia (Ed with boobs and Al in a sundress, nuff said ), [livejournal.com profile] fireun (RoyxEd and LingxEd make me go pitter pat), [livejournal.com profile] tir_synni (LINGXED WRITER SUPREME), [livejournal.com profile] stickmarionette (wrote the only crossover I found that was plausible), [livejournal.com profile] anax (Voluspa ;_;), [livejournal.com profile] furiouscupofcat (LINGXED), and so many more...

Do you read doujinshi? If so, recommend a good one!
I just got Dolce by IDEA, it's utter love ;_;

Which is better: non-con or romance?
I prefer romance

Who is the best character to use in pairings?
Ed is the best, simply because he can be both demanding and vunerable

And the worst?
Hughes because he is esthablished with Gracia. Anything else feels OOC. (keeping this comment, too)

Do you get mad at people who don’t like the same pairings you do?
No, life is to short to waste emotions on fannish differences XD

::reads through with relish::

Y'know, it occurs to me that it's been a very long time since you recommended any FMA fics. Has that ceased, or will you do that again some day?

I might get back to it one day! Two things happened that put a damper on my recs:

1. I went back to work fulltime
2. I bought a house

Subsequently my time online is much less. When I was reccing and writing the most was when I wasn't working for 9 months =)

Ooh, yeah, both those things would slow you down. Completely understandable.

I just miss the recs because without you pointing the way, I have no idea where the Good!Fic is at. I guess I got spoiled by the recs! :D Tsk, I'll have to learn how to hunt up FMA fics. (I've found that fic hunting is a little different for each series.)

*duels you to see who is going to be the last one standing* 8D

Lots of people agreed that episode 4 (With Majhal and the blue roses) was the worst episode, myself included. xD;

Lots of people also agree that Loki is the worst side character. xD

Haha, this meme sure is making the rounds. I saw your name on [livejournal.com profile] crypgenia's post, and after poking around your journal for a bit I realized you are that one author with that bighugelongsexy Roy/Ed thing I vaguely remember from some FMA fic archive. So um, **friends in a totally non-stalkery fashion** :D

Even though I put this together in response to [livejournal.com profile] cryogenia's answers, I figured I should spread it around, since it's the same questionnaire and you also mentioned Yoki. :)

--------------------------

Maybe I'm just being ridiculous, but this kinda scarred my childhood to a slight degree:


ImageImage


Yoki from FMA and The Professor (a.k.a. wanna-be magician) from Frosty the Snowman

Note the similar oval-shaped heads and the long, protruding chins. Also of honorable mention are the stringy mustaches and the beady eyes.

Actually, I see so many more similarities between their personalities than their physical characteristics, to be honest. And it's not so much that Yoki is ugly physically as he simply sends off bad vibes as an individual (annoying, as the question phrases it).

We well see how he tries to butter-up Ed and get in his good graces once it's revealed that he's a State Alchemist. Thus, Yoki's behavior in front of figures he believes can grant him monetary incentives or professional advancement shows his greediness and selfishness.

Likewise:


Image


demonstrates, in my view, another individual cowering in front of a short man wearing red.
I wish I could have found a screencap where Yoki is hiding behind Lyra. Damn.

OK. I'm done.

BTW, you can blame [livejournal.com profile] tir_synni for this "revelation". It was two weeks after reading her Yoki/Ed (or Ed/Yoki?) fic that this popped into my head. =/

Better than before XD I had to move and change of roomate to be happy, but now that I did, I am happy :D I'm going to erase this bad 1st month from my memories and keep only what came after >_> Professors are trying to kill me with books though, but there's a great anime club so things can't possibly go bad XD
