FMA

I finished Full Metal Alchemist.

I didn't cry. I was content with the ending. It didn't leave me outraged or bitter or sad. It was perfect. I feel sorry for poor Al, though. And I wonder why Envy turned into a dragon. Is there some symbolism that I'm missing?

Anyway...if anyone wants to start a full fledged discussion about it...I'm game. I'm going to read flutingfrenzy's comments about it now(ish). Sorry that I don't have anything else interesting to say....yet...but Matt just called. And I'm feeling uninspired.

Speaking of...hey, flutingfrenzy! At DragonCon (which me and Matt so have tickets for, do you want to Cosplay? You as Sloth (in full regalia) and me as Lust? We could have the cool tattoos and everything! octopedingenue could be Schieska (sp????) and if gweniveeve goes, we could con her into being Martel. And we could figure out someone for myrtlelawson. And Matt could be Pride....or something. Or we could just go as Lust and Sloth - we have the hair for both. It'd be fun!

Anyway - Full Metal Alchemist - fuckin' good show.

Eh? What is Martel like?

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

Martel, or Marta, physically, is not dissimilar from you. She is short and wiry, with short blondish hair. She is very passionate, confident, and determined. She is a female character, but not a dewy eyed pretty girl. She was in the military, was experimented on by the military, and is out to get her revenge. She's just a minor character, but anyone who's run across her will remember her.

Anyone have a pic?

grrr, I got some of the links wrong

Trying again now...

Martel (or Marta, but I like Martel because it feels like a last name) is smart, snarky, badass, and very loyal. I adore her. She has stripe-marks on the side of her face and a tattoo on her shoulder; she was experimented on to fuse her genetic material with that of a snake, so she's...slinky-like *g*, and can do a Mister Fantastic boneless stretchy-type thing with her arms. She looks quite like you.

There aren't many websites or pictures of her online, since she appears late in the series in a part that hasn't aired/become popular in the U.S. yet. Here's what I could find or what screencaps I had made:

Martel with her knife
Holding the phone for her leader, Greed
Martel in a rare moment of vulnerability (you can barely see the stripe-marks on the side of her face)
Martel winking (small)
Standing next to Al (small)
Looking annoyed
Dark shot of her face (small)
Martel about to cut the throat of a character I don't like (YAY MARTEL)
The Martel fanlisting, which has a nice picture of her in its layout

Thanks for all the info!

However, apparently I will be needing a boob job before I can be her . . .
