Fullmetal Alchemist, ep. 43-51 (intial reaction)

[oyceter]

GIANT SPOILERS

This is totally an initial reaction because I am really not coherent right now, largely because I spent the last episode sobbing. Oh, my boys. I was so scared something like this would happen, but at least they're still there and still looking for each other.

*sobs*

Is the movie worth watching?

But oh, my god.

The movie is deeply flawed. I loved seeing more of the characters that I love, but the tv series ending seems more fitting/appropriate to the overall themes/characters.

[oyceter]

Hrm, ok.

I think I'll end up watching it anyway because I need to see more of the world right now. Am also searching desperately for fic and possibly contemplating even writing some.

Gah. I miss my boys.

Write some! And let me know if you like any that you find. I have mostly been avoiding it because just seeing the word "Elricest" freaks me out, on many levels including but not limited to one of them being a giant empty suit of armor.

[oyceter]

Uh yeah. And the second being Al being 10 later on.

I keep thinking I need to write happier fic, but obviously the FMA idea percolating is going to be ANGST ANGST ANGST galore.

Pedophilic incest armor porn-- just my kink. Not.

I now want to read super-angsty Roy & co at Ishbal fic. There could possibly be sweaty, momentarily escaping the horrors through physical passion-type sex. If you don't find anything like that or write it yourself, I might be obliged to write some. (Mely remembers the Roy-in-tent-with-a-gun scene, by the way.)

I've seen a fair bit of this (sorry, not ones that I've bookmarked), but most of it tends to be based on manga canon. (There's much more backstory there, especially in recent chapters.)

[oyceter]

Gack. For a second I thought you were talking about pedophilic incest armor porn!

I think I need to read the manga now as well.

Still haven't been able to type up a summary post because my brain just keeps short-circuiting (and work is insane).

A summary of all Roy/anyone fic ever (oddly missing angsty comfort sex in Ishbal, why?)

*snort*

That's awesome!

I think you may have to make up your own category of angsty comfort Ishbal sex. *eggs on*

[oyceter]

Huh, maybe the Roy-angst scene was much earlier on in ep. 25? I totally want Roy/Hughes angsty post-Ishbal/during-Ishbal/something angsty fic as well. I think you should write it!

I am, of course, doing my normal thing in which I totally freak out at the end of the series and quickly write happy correction fic that still manages to turn out angsty (aka Al remembering and not-remembering Ed).

I found the Roy-with-gun scene! Or rather, Kate did: http://pics.livejournal.com/kate_nepveu/pic/000h1t62/g49

Oh yeah! Wow, that was really early on! Was that in the scene where he shoots the Rockbells? I think I wasn't sure if that was him at the time, since he actually has an expression on his face.
