Holiday Parties and FMA

[cornerofmadness]

The holiday party went well. Way too much food. The curried butternut squash soup was wonderful. My spiced apricot couscous was a huge hit. (if you missed that recipe just ask, i'll give it to you). Sadly the Indian math prof didn't come (rather worried us since she helped arrange it). I missed having Indian goodies.



Wow, evil_little_dog said she was stunned. that is a good word for it.

I can hardly think of things to say.

Where was Hohenheim? Totally inside Father?

Okay really, poor ROy. He gets punished for what the homunculus did. That hardly seems fair that he pays the price when it's Pride who did the alchemy more or less. And what a price. Did not see that coming.

Pride, I would not count Roy out yet. All he has to do is using someone else for his eyes and I'm betting Izumi and Ed will be more than willing. Izumi is already right there with the comforting embrace.

Everyone else - WHY the hell were you just standing around watching Wrath and Pride? Were you afraid he'd kill Roy outright. Granted there wasn't much you COULD do other than delay them but since time IS a factor....

Alphonse, oh you dear sweet boy. What a sacrifice you made. And you may never get your body back from the sounds of it. You're right of course. Your body is completely useless for fighting and will be for some time, maybe forever depending on the amount of muscle damage its sustained.

who knew that me being friends with no less than three blind people would come in handy fictionwise provided Roy lives and none of this is fixed by the philopsher's stone.

Of course I ended up with two bunnies for the fma_fic_contest (so much for giving that up for a while) and since evil_little_dog already wrote one of them for me....goes to work fast on the other.


ETA - And WTF is that all about with Mei? If she and Scar can just bust through, why in the world was it necessary to have Roy open the Gate? That made no sense to me. Granted Roy's passage might have primed the pump for something else that HAD to go through the Gate but still. Also, I still just don't like Mei.

I'm sorry but I don't. I started out with three characters I instantly hated. Scar, Olivia (who I wanted to like) and Mei. Scar grew and changed and I learned to like him. Olivia became who I imagined she would be and I learned to really like her. Mei is still a two note Mary Sue. I still dislike her.
