more random FMA fannishness and lyrics

I've decided that "Vindicated" is a great Roy Mustang song. See?

Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in so
Mesmerizing and so
Hypnotizing
I am captivated

I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Slow spinning redemption? Cleaning up so well? Wrong/right/flawed? Vindicated?

Oh yes. That's Mustang to a T.

::sigh:: Why is it that I can't escape the angsty men in my shows? Why is it that I can't escape the angsty shows?

But oh well. Roy will fix it. Roy will make everything better.

This is why The Daily Show amuses me. From their first night of covering the convention:

"Take Thursday night's theme...'Fuck You, What're You Gonna Do About It'"

"But Stephen, that can't be right...that sounds asbolutely awful."

"Yeah but... fuck us, what are we gonna do about it?"

"True."

Bush speech:

"expanding liberty"

"extending the frontiers of freedom"




... is anybody else going "What the fuck? Manifest Destiny much?"

Bush finally mentions September 11.

This is about when I start cussing at the tv from where I'm standing in the kitchen.

And me? Not really someone who normally cusses at the tv. But some people just bring it out in you.

Anyway, I'm going back out to watch more and get more disgusted at blatant lies, manipulation, and misleading information.

::eating dinner and rewatching anime having given up on Bush and the Republicans::

Ah... Full Metal Alchemist #43. ::happy sigh:: Truly, this is one of my all-time favorite episodes. And the final scene just pulls at my heart every time I watch it. It's the ultimate scene for Roy Mustang... and such a pivotal moment for Al and Ed too, and their subordinate/superior relationship to him. Plus there's that really sad saxophone music.

This is the one scene that I don't want the dub Roy to fuck up. If he messes up this scene, I will be forever at throats of Funimation.

But I remain hopeful. I used to hate Funimation but they did do a pretty decent job with Fruits Basket, and I came to love that show in English as well as Japanese. I hope they do as good with FMA.

As for my other favorite running anime series... I hope whoever it was that dubbed FLCL does the dub for Naruto. Because the FLCL dub was the first and only completely flawless dub I've ever seen.
