Never forget when a nerd from my high school when I was 17 and he was 16 or so said "women can't write shonen" and then two minutes later he said his favorite anime/manga was Fullmetal Alchemist. Never forget his face when my friend and I told him to check out who the author of that manga was. Never forget

Most of the mischaracterization Riza suffers from wouldn’t be nearly as popular if people actually understood why she follows Roy and it isn’t just love and loyalty.

One of the main reasons she stays by his side is because she sees herself as the guardian of flame alchemy. She’s trying to make sure of two things: 1. no one ever gets their hands on it again. and 2. the only person who can use it never misuses it again. That’s why she follows him. She has to. She’s watching the weapon she helped create.

And she has to keep him alive not only because he’s the one with the political power (meaning he’s her only real way to make sure the trials happen), but because he has to live long enough to atone for what he did with flame alchemy. The power SHE gave him.

From Riza’s point of view, every crime Mustang commits is hers too. Every time flame alchemy is used to kill that blood is on her hands too. Every person he killed is someone she killed by proxy.

She’s not just guarding him. She’s sharing his guilt. It’s like she’s trying to atone for her own sins, but he has to atone too so she can atone through him.

I think this Hannibal quote fits them really well: “You and I have begun to blur. Every crime of yours feels like one I’m guilty of.” Like yeah she obviously loves him. But reducing their relationship to just that completely flattens what’s actually going on.

Gotta respect the necromancer who put in the effort to give them angry eye-sockets, just so you know these aren't their friendly service skeletons. These are the angry kill-people skeletons.

[uesp]

A necromancer truly dedicated to the art of creating service skeletons will do a lot to improve their display. Sewing an outfit to their bones is an obvious one, leading experts will tell you that hiding most of the skeleton greatly limits the shock of seeing a skeleton in most people. It also helps the less informed know from a glance the assigned tasks of said skeleton. It is much better to ask the skeleton wearing working clothes to clean up a spill over the skeleton wearing a nice suit or dress.

Some of the most determined necromancers will even experiment with methods of allowing them to perform some more subtle facial emotes. Inserting googly eyes into the empty sockets can be a charming addition. Adding on adjustable eyebrows embedded with magnetic studs so they can inquisitively raise an eyebrow is another popular adaption.

unwanted prog content: robert fripp’s questionable solo projects

bro what do you mean questionable. fripp is the least questionable person in the world. here are some of fripp’s greatest solo moments:

take his hand. we must go into fripp land

- look at these lyrics from exposure and try not to get fripped

- one of fripp’s greatest moments was when he made brian eno have a solo career. eno’s management hated no pussyfooting so much they basically grounded fripp from collaborating with him for a few years so eno could be the next david bowie 

- watch the i advance masked video. robert fripp and andy summers (of the police) have beautiful girls dance all around them while playing the least sexy nerd music i’ve ever heard in my entire life. fripp sits on his stool and doesnt move a single inch except to turn his head to stare into your soul. dr. bunsen honeydew lookin ass

- you can find several videos of the “league of crafty guitarists” aka robert fripp’s not-so-secret guitar cult where he forces all these poor young guitarists to play his noodley guitar music that doesn’t make sense to anyone but fripp

- apparently toyah and fripp collaborated on an album where toyah reads stories entirely in victorian english while fripp does his frippertronics in the background. couple goals

- now you might be like “yeah haha no pussyfooting haha fucking frippertronics”. well guess what. this is no laughing matter for fripp. the real reason he wants to collaborate with everyone is so he can buy and sell dildos

“I receive a letter from Fripp, a reply to the one I wrote to him suggesting that we get together again soon. He says, "I am prepared to work with you only if you buy from me a brand-new dildo... He goes on to describe its sophistication and versatility and requests that I send him £28 immediately "before your career suffers further by delay." He signs himself Meanie Mouth.“ - Brian Eno
