OOOOOOOOO Damn. Mustang is finally kicking it into gear (though I don't imagine Bradley or Selim are dead)

Loved the Olivia/Roy scenes. Great what I need, another OTP3

Riza naturally kicked ass.

I can NOT get enough of evil grins via Ling. Damn, so hot. who doesn’t love this


Ed getting to punch Hoho. that gets love.

Hoho crying on Ed and freaking him out, pure genius. Though Hoho's speak sounds like a resolution would be Hoho dying in the end.

and wow, the final panels. just WOW. Did NOT see that coming

I have tickets to see the midnight premiere of the new Batman movie. Time to do the Batusi.

Comments

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I don't think Bradley or Selim are dead, either.

Olivia would eat Roy for breakfast and spit out the bones.

Ling...yeah.

Riza was amazingly cool. Fuery cracked me up.

Ed punching Hoho was great. I agree to the whole Ed vs. Hoho scenes, really.

No, i didn't see that either and it bothered me! I wanted to KNOW that was possible. It seemed to come out of left field, regarding Al.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Olivia would eat Roy for breakfast and spit out the bones.
He'd enjoy every moment

No, i didn't see that either and it bothered me! I wanted to KNOW that was possible. It seemed to come out of left field, regarding Al.

Yeah we should have seen Selim control someone before this.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah we should have seen Selim control someone before this.

I agree. Of course, maybe he can only control Al if Al's soul's out walking, you know? STILL.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah but still retain enough of 'pride' to set off Ling's homocular-radar

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and we don't even know if there is anything left of Al to save.

BUT Pride has made a crucial error. Greed will definitely want him out of his face. Ed and Hoho will be lucky if they can keep from tearing Al apart to get Pride out.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

There has to be enough left of Al to save. Otherwise, Ed'll wind up like he does in my story. But yeah, I hadn't thought that Greed would immediately turn on Pride.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well Greed did say he was ticked off at them. i guess he's the closest to human of the bunch. He almost likes them...as toys.

Yes, Ed won't do well if Al doesn't make it. It could be one of those stories where everyone dies at the end (and you never trust the author again)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

He almost likes them...as toys.

HEE. Well, yesh. That almost goes without saying.

...if everyone dies, well. That Would Be Bad.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think Greed is the only one who needs humans at all. Wrath to a point

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Wrath does care for his wife, at least.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

exactly. he might remember wha it was like to be human. I'm not sure some of the others were ever human (well obviously Envy wasnt)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Exactly though maybe the original Greed was. Who knows? More speculation for fanfic.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

given his atttachment to humans I'm thinking the original Greed was and probably Lust too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I was also thinking Lust might've been human. Funny if she'd been a geeky little thing like Sciezca.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh that's a scary thought. Might be how they got her to volunteer, she was the unwanted geek girl

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, "volunteer" might be too gentle of a word....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that is true then again if they played it right volunteer would hav been all they needed

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, yesh.

[anat-astarte.livejournal.com]

I loved the Olivia/Roy scenes as well.....the possibilities for these two are getting more interesting :)

OMG Al...and this is somehow spawning fic ideas too... *headdesk*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I figured Al would get someone writing.

Me, all I hear is Roy yammering about his two dangerous blondes

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I doubt Selim or Bradley is dead. Didn't it take a whole lot more to take out Lust and the last Greed?

I admit, all I can really think is "Deserters! Going back to their Colonel! I want Armstrongs of my own!"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that's why i'm doubting their death too

it's gonna be a fun finale

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Do we know how much longer it'll be? I can't imagine it going past ch 100. Then again, when I started reading it, the rumor was 80...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

88. the rumor I've heard is 88 so I'm thinking by fall it'll be done

[ishte.livejournal.com]

OI! but I knew that Roy and Olivia were talking trash to each other as code. It's brilliant!

Ed pounds Hoho hee... and his 'badass' color statement. I loved how he made his cloak again. hee.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes. I'm adoring the Olivia/Roy scenes. She has greatly grown on me. She's become the character I hoped she'd be.

poor Hoho, why did i have to be the right hand?

yes I noticed Ed had to have his fashion statement back

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Wow, the video game thing takes me back. Intellevision?!?!?!?....wow.....

I did read FMA right before the proceedure but now I don't remember it!!!! I have to reread it again. >_<

Batman!?!? I'm jealous. I saw a little preview last night on HBO. That was cool. I've been a fan since I was young in the 80's.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I had an intellivision which was worlds ahead of Atari graphics wise but everyone loved Atari

you DO since major stuff happens

hee, I'm old enough to remember the batman from the 70's. God they were on drugs

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Part of what we love about Batman is the cheesieness.

At least I remember Al getting possesed. Everything before that is a blank. I'm off to read.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh yes it was so cheesy. Could have made a pizza from it

I was basking in the Roy/Olivia stuff
