Don't you wish your nails were pretty. like. me.?

And that only took me like an hour and half. No wonder I almost never do it.




Actually caught the dub of episode 31 of Full Metal Alchemist on live tv tonight, instead of the internet.

"If you won't do this brother, I will."

God, I love Al.

And I love how the brothers trade off being the tough one and the sympathetic one. That's why they're such great partners-- where one is weak the other is tough.

Next episode: "Dante of the Deep Wood". YAY! Dante! ::cough::EVILBITCH::cough:: YAY!

One more thing-- I swear to the non existent god that Wrath's dub voice is Ahiru's dub voice. That's really fucking with my head. Princess Tutu =/= Wrath. Not in any universe. Except the dubbing verse, apparently.

Anyway, I checked imdb.com, and it listed Tutu's VA as "miscellaneous voices" or whatever for FMA. And Wrath's VA wasn't given a separate listing. So... I'm thinking it's the case.

Which is weird and all kinds of wrong.

random rant

You know what really gets my goat?

I write a fic or snippet or drabble or whatever, and it's serious or dramatic and possibly has people dying... and people review and tell me it's cute and they loved the fluffy dialogue.

I absolutely hate that. It leaves me staring at the fic filled with pain/drama/character death/angst wondering "Um... did the definition of cute change?" or "Is this what fluffy is now? What, did I not I kill enough main characters to be worthy of something other than 'cute' ? "

Anyway, that bugs me. If you liked it, tell me you liked it. If you hated it, tell me you hated it. If I fill it with hearts and flowers and Warm And Fuzzy Feelings, you can say "That was cute OMG! write more!".

If it's an angsty vignette filled with mature and serious themes and character death and horror I do not want a response that says "That was so cute OMG!"

It really bothers me because I have to wonder what you found cute about it, because if it was fluffy obviously I was doing something terribly, terribly wrong.

I know this seems a very strange complaint, but I've noticed it a lot this last year and its starting to bug me. If I want to write something cute I'll write something cute. Most of the stuff I write is not cute. Do I have to turn into Stephen fucking King with the characters to get something other than "cute"? Don't make me go all Stephen King on your ass. Cause I will. I'll kill Ed and Alphonse mid-fic faster than you can say "don quixote". And it won't be cute.

FMA movie sub

I'm still downloading the FMA movie at a horridly slow pace. But the good news is that I hit the 60% point, and so I copied the first of the two files and decided to tease myself by watching a bit. So I watched the entire opening parts-- from the two teasers thru the credit sequence.

( just two reactions )

The credits have killed me dead on the power of memory alone. I must do homework now. I've had my ten minutes, and that's fix enough to last me until the whole thing is finished downloading, so I can watch it in its entirety.

FMA + BtVS

Skimmed the post episode 31 FMA discussion on the Adult Swim board, and people were oohing and ahhing over the stuff revealed with Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Sloth all in the same place at the same time. All the stuff about Wrath's history. They kept talking about how exactly a homunculus is made from a failed transmutation.

And that got me thinking about Buffy. Because, you know, a part of me is always in Jossverse at any given moment. And this is what I was thinking about:



EDWARD: I think I figured it out. This homunculous, it's not a homunculous we let out. It's a homunculus that we made.

ALPHONSE: We made a homunculus? Bad us.

EDWARD: Thaumogenesis is when doing a spell actually creates a being. In this case it was like, a side-effect, I guess. Like a price.

WINRY: What?

EDWARD: Think of it like, the world doesn't like you getting something for free, and we asked for this huge gift. Mom. A-and so the Gate said, 'fine, but if you have that, you have to take this too.' And it made the homunculus.

WINRY: Well, technically, that's not a price. That's a gift with purchase.
