cahn...I promise I'll post something next time that's not about FMA. Really.
Chapter 51: A Portal in the Darkness
-"One who calls another 'idiot' is an idiot." WHY SO AWESOME, LING
-Okay, what is awesome is Ed and Ling making sure they are actually each other basically by Ling insulting Ed. Both times. HEE.
-...Where are all the other people who were swallowed by Gluttony? Why aren't they there? Unless... they got crushed by all the other stuff Gluttony swallowed. *shudders*
-Ed deciding he is going to become telepathic to connect with Al is simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking.
-"His face is scary, but he really is a nice person!" "No..." Hee.
-"I am a person without a name. Call me whatever you like." ANGST! MANPAIN! "Ummm, how about Mr. X?" "...that's no good either." HEEEEEE.
-"I'm abandoning you! For real here! I'm really going on my own!" OH ED. It took me a while to warm to him, but I'm absolutely into him now.
-"The Man Who Fed Shoes to the Emperor" -- hee!
-When the guy who survived enough assassination attempts as a kid that he can dodge homunculi tells you that you didn't have much of a childhood, that's when you know you really didn't have much of a childhood...
-I sort of understood this before, but... the entire Ishval war... it was just for this humongous transmutation circle... OUCH.
Chapter 52: Lord of the Demon's Lair
-I was spoiled for Hawkeye being transferred personal assistant to the Fuhrer (I don't know what comes after that, though), but it is different seeing it in context... wow. Oh man, Hawkeye!
-"I'm sorry, Colonel Mustang." That... is quite possibly the least sincere "I'm sorry" in the history of the world!
-"Ogre! Demon! Loincloth!" Ha. I... also kinda wonder why he wears that loincloth. It's kind of silly!
Chapter 53: The Soul's Guide
-I... actually feel... just the slightest tiny little bit bad for Bradley. Which I had not thought was possible!
-Rebound. OH ED. (Also, LOVE Ed and Ling together!)
-I think I would have clued in to how momentous a moment this a little earlier was if I had remembered Xerxes at all. (I suck at remembering this sort of thing!) Wow. IT IS EVEN BIGGER THAN ONE GIANT COUNTRY TRANSMUTATION CIRCLE. But... what... is he going to do after the entire world is Philosopher Stones?
-Ling, you're terrible!
-I take that back. YOU ARE AWESOME.
-Also, when I said I loved Ed and Ling together? Multiply that by, like, a hundred.
-OH ED.
-Actually, Al does not, in fact, worry too much. Just saying.
Chapter 54: The Fool's Struggle
-I just realized we haven't seen Team Mustang for, like, forever, and I haven't actually noticed. I, uh, am really into Ed and Ling and Al these days... Also, they have really well calculated what I want...
-Wait... so "Father" thinks that Hohenheim can reproduce... SO CONFUSED! Clearly Hohenheim is some sort of alchemical clone (clone-homunculus?) (HA, I got the spelling right on the first try!) of "Father," but... what? How?
-Ha, every time I think Edward is getting a little more mature, he goes into a snit and proves me wrong.
-Envy and Edward are both, like, six. Hilarious!
-We're only halfway through?
-I... Ling? LING??
Chapter 55: The Avarice of Two
-Wow, it's interesting how differently Ling!Greed is drawn from Ling. Much more menacing.
-Mei Chang's fantasies of Edward are always totally hilarious.
-AL. I'm telling you, Al is so mature! None of this super-vendetta thing.
-Yeah, see, I knew Ling was still in there, because Ling is totally too awesome not to be.
Chapter 56: The Lion of the Round Table
-I KNEW Bradley being all solicitous of Winry was going nowhere good!
-Ahahaha, Bradley may be fooled by Mustang being all "I'm just staying here for my own ambition!" but WE ARE NOT. We know it's all about Hawkeye! (and, okay, the rest of Team Mustang, and, okay, the whole country)
-Uh. Bradley. MEI??
-Uh? (okay, it was kind of hilarious when Al was like "Is there something wrong?" even though I'm totally as confused as Bradley confused face)
-Oh, ha, she's small :)
-LING. LING.
-Hee, Bradley's shocked face is HILARIOUS
-MARCOH?? Wait, how did he get free? Wasn't Envy guarding him? Oh... okay, I guess maybe they all kinda ran away and he was left by himself? (I can't keep track of where all the characters are!) [ETA: Oh, I guess he's not free, he's still caged up there.]
Chapter 57: Scars of Ishval
-"Like I care about the affairs of your country!" KNOX. <3333333333333
-awwwww Al!
-AWWWW KNOX (but wait why did he tell Lan Fan that they were dead?? I am super confused!!)
-MARCOH MARCOH
-...wow, Ed still has Hawkeye's gun? Man.
Chapter 58: Footsteps of Ruin
-I... am totally confused by Hawkeye Sr.'s death. What just happened? Did he decide to die right then? He just finished saying he had been dead for a long time? Am I supposed to be confused? (Feel free to tell me, yes, I am supposed to be confused. That is not a spoiler :) )
-HAYATE. Hee!
-Ed, you gave Riza's gun back with blood all over it? That is RUDE!
-Awwww, Ed is such a kid. Of course I don't LIKE like her!
-I kinda love that Roy won't tell Ed anything about Ishval. It's so... protective and big-brother-ish.
-Along those same lines, I love the pictures of all the people who were in Ishval on the same page.
Chapter 59: The Corrupted Alchemist
-MARCOH
-KNOX
-MARCOH
-maybe some ROY and RIZA in there too
-but mostly KNOX MARCOH
Chapter 60: In the Absence of God
I... I think I might have preferred it if Roy had killed Maria Ross, to this.
Chapter 61:
...
...
And that was when I went out (or, well, you know, to amazon) and bought the whole bloody thing.
