FullMetal Alchemist continues to OWN in numerous strange and unexpected ways.

In a desperate attempt to come up with something more coherent than last night's babble, I'm going to make a list of all the things I took away from watching far more FMA in one go than can be entirely good for a new fangirl, because it only confirms that it is Right and Proper for her to be fangirling.

1. Roy. How cool is that man. Much of the cool. Much love for Roy. That guy knows too much and is smexy and has the hottest voice in anime. EVER. Roy Mustang has EATEN MY SOUL. ♥
2. So has Ed Elric. ♥ Ed owns me completely in a way that is different and diametrically opposed to the way Ken Hidaka owns me, but for much of the same reasons. It's an attitude thing. Love pissy boys. And he is getting angst. I knew Ed would angst beautifully and I have the greatest and deepest of respect for him for it. Ed seriously owns. Hard. Even when he doesn't have the coat on. He owns THAT MUCH HARDER when he does have his coat on but when he doesn't he's still very Ed and I love him for it. He has issues. And far too much angst for a twelve year old. ♥ ♥ ♥

(Was not expecting to have this much huge love for Ed. Am surprised but not unpleasantly so.)

3. Cannot explain the strange and bizarre love I have for Hughes either. And his family. There is never an inopportune moment for Hughes to shove a photograph of Gracia and his daughter in someone's face. I have a feeling that something horrible is going to happen there but until it does, he and his family are VERY cute.

Note to self: Go snag Hughes Chibi icon from same place I got the others.

4. How in Hell am I going to SURVIVE until DVD 3 comes out? It hasn't even got a UK release date yet and I want to know what happens and even when it is out I'll watch all four eps in a day and then have to wait months to get more again! *cries*
5. Nearly cried at end of Ep 7. In fact, am nearly crying now remembering it. That was horrible. I'm really pretty impressed by FMA's ability to creep me out. I'm sitting there telling myself 'it's anime. It's anime', and it's making no difference, I'm still hugging soft and cuddly things and gaping and thinking 'damn, this is fucked up' and (penalties of too much Weiss-watching) wanting to just have someone come in and kill some of these creepy bastards already all the while knowing that, for a story like this one, would be far too simple and no solution at all... all the same, where's Persia when you need him?
6. Winry's not quite as annoying as she was as a little kid, but I can't quite get over the fact that she shows up in Central and gets abducted by Barry the Chopper - and isn't that a great name for a serial killer? Barry the Chopper! - almost immediately, making her Much Less Cool than Hawkeye and Lust.

Further Note to Self: Want Hawkeye Chibi too plz kthxbai. Like Hawkeye even if I do seem to be heading in the Roy x Ed direction.

7. Speaking of Barry the Chopper - YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH ED'S AUTOMAIL.
8. Oh, Roy, you are teh smex. UTTER. You're a bit of a bastard and manipulative and morally bankrupt and you remind me, in a delicious kind of way, of Crawford only hotter, and I adore you for it. Adoration. Roy blows shit up but good. ♥

Still Further note to Self: Must not upload any more FMA icons because this is getting silly.

Whoa, am actually using an icon for something other than WK in main journal. Well, I am kind of ranting on FMA and I did spend most of the afternoon on an extended icon hunt,so I can't say it's not fitting. I begin to see the advantages of jumping betwen fandoms with the love. I have lots of love to give, so why not share it about a bit? Polyamorous fangirling is the way of the future!

9. Still cannot quite remember the name of the law Al quotes at the beginning of every episode, which is kind of pathetic. Equivalent Exchange?
10. Ed in the alchemy practical? Ed kicking ass on a train? Ed covered in blood and in tears? OH YES PLEASE. How cool IS Ed anyway?
11. Roy x Ed. Um. Yeah. Roy x Ed. Can I admit it without getting chucked in a cell for being a complete pervert? Okay, here goes, YES I LIKE IT. I know it's creepy because Ed's like 12 at the moment but I can't seem to make myself care about this that much, which probably means I am a pathetic slash fangirl.
12. Will Envy be showing up soon? I'm not missing him, but damn.
13. The person who wrote the summaries on the backs of the DVD boxes has either been smoking crack or hasn't actually watched the series. I'm guessing they've been roughly told what the show's about and are making it up as they go along.
14. ROY MUSTANG IN A COAT BLOWING SHIT UP BY CLICKING HIS FINGERS! *dies* ♥ ♥ ♥ Does this anime even NEED a plot, never mind such a goddamned good one? ♥

... that really didn't make things much more coherent, did it?

What can I do about the fact that I have the horribly catchy (not to mention cool, but that could just be the fangirl in me talking) series ED stuck in my head and am in no position to download it? HELP ME OUT HERE SOMEBODY.
