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.

You're going to DragonCon, then? Yayyy, a huge group! And...cosplay...am leery, but you are right that we have the hair for it and it wouldn't actually require much work. If you're serious, I'll think about it.

Re: crying. You're right; the ending was not at all sad or anything but perfect. But it was bittersweet. Also, they kept playing the Brothers song, which has trained me via Pavlovian technique to cry, and if you think I am exaggerating at all you are quite mistaken. Oh, also that song they played when Hawkeye was losing the will to live because she thought Roy was dead and then Ed was behind the gate standing in the mist and Al's armor showed up briefly.

Heh, the dragon!Envy thing confused me too. But I think it confused everybody. ("Huh? Is this actually the Spirited Away-verse? Why is Envy Haku?" And so on.) But enough about that. I would like to say for the record, in case there's anybody out there who still hasn't heard my feelings on the subject, that Roy/Hawkeye wins at pairings and Roy is absolutely adorable and surprisingly sexy! and Hawkeye is the most beautiful animated woman ever and I am soooooo her minion. And I was thrilled with the ending because suddenly it wasn't so out of the question for them to run off and get married and have three babies, the first two of whom would be girls, and the youngest a boy. (octopedingenue and I have given this some thought.) So there. In conclusion, Hawkeye = awesome.

I shed a tear when I thought that Roy was dead. And I was SOOOOO happy when he touched her hair, and smiled at her in that way, because it was so in That Way.

About the cosplay...I'm serious. Just for one day, for fun. And it so wouldn't be hard to do (which is why I'm serious).
