26|Female|Sweden|Librarian Hi everybody and welcome to my personal blog. Here you'll find everything that catches my eye. I have a writing-blog too, which is called wordsfillingupmyheart, if you only want to read my writing but that's not to say I post all my writing onto this blog too :) - you can just click at the button that says "My Writing Stuff" and read until you fall asleep....^^ To track my poetry, usually search the tag 'Celtic-Poetry', and sometimes you also can use the tag 'FnyM', which is my other pen name!. If you're interesting in books and are, like me, a big bookworm, you can check out my book-blog, which is called the-librarian-geek...At that blog I post book photos, book reviews, talking about books in general and post things from my work as a librarian but mostly about how I forget about life while reading ;) Other than writing and all things books, my interests include listening to music and watching movies/Tv-series - one true librarian there! My current fandoms are sadly, at the moment dead. But one day, they will arise anew - check the "things i fancy" button, if you wanna to know more about that. Like I said in the beginning, I reblog a lot of things I like... If there's something else on your mind just ask...I don't bite and what else... I usually follow back.. hm..

When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.
God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.
You know, when you said "negative-3 kill count," I, who haven't seen the anime, thought, "He resurrected 3 people?????" But I'm seeing here on the wiki that apparently resurrection in this anime is a terrible idea.
The first time, she says "To me," and the mirror dutifully shows her her reflection. And she is pleased.
The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.
The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.
The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.
The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.
The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity
"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.
"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.
"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.
The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.
It is a different person each time, and they are all beautiful.

The key to writing good fanfiction is to harbor a deeply humiliating desire, and the trick there is that even pretty basic and societally-accepted desires like “being held” and “being wanted” CAN and WILL be humiliating if they’re intense enough. Become so estranged from human connection that the idea of someone playing with your hair fills you with yearning so deep you feel like you’re going to throw up and you will write some banger fanfiction. It might have some other consequences too but idrk about that.
