i'm... alive. mostly, anyway. i'd intended to get to back this much, much sooner, but the worst has only and finally passed now. i'll be around, mostly observing and catching up some.

[heymans-breda]

Mun, whats your opinion on FMA 03 vs FMA:B? Do you like one better? Do you like them both? I would like to hear your thoughts!

hmmm. i have to say that i definitely prefer FMA:B. i don’t dislike FMA 03, but i definitely feel that it has a less colorful and fleshed out character cast overall. there are some things that i liked about it, but the aforementioned and that FMA:B also just feels more coherent makes it the superior one to me, despite that FMA 03 has its occasional greater moments.

IDK WHO THIS GUY IS AND I HAVENT WATCHED/READ FMA IN A LONG TIME AND IM NOT IN THR FANDOM RN, BUT I LOVE THIS MAN. IVE ONLY SEEN A FEW POSTS BUT I LOVE HIM AND HOW YOU WRITE HIM. I HOPE THIS IS HIS PERSONALITY BECAUSE HE IS INCREDIBLE AND I WILL SEARCH HIM UP ON FMA WIKIA RIGHT NOW. ;__;/

o-oh! well, i mean… being a side character, most of it is admittedly just interpretation. i can’t really say if the interpretation and portrayal are what they should be, but i try, i suppose. haha. thanks a bunch, though!! i'm glad to hear it.

Mr. Breda, w-would you be interested in joining me for dinner?

     ❝ That depends. ❞

     ❝ — What're we having? ❞

[shandian-alchemist]

A snort and a roll of the eyes. He respected the man, but he was full of bullshit sometimes. He glances away, a few words muttered under his breath.

“You’re about as straight as a bagel…”

[heymans-breda]

     Breda was oblivious to his purported heterosexuality being called into question, Bri's muttered words unintelligible to him — but not quite inaudible. He looked over a shoulder, uttering a muffled 'What's up, sir?', one-fourth of a baguette sticking out of a greedily stuffed mouth responsible for that sound.

     Truly, what could ever prompt anyone to doubt such a self-evident something?

[heymans-breda]

Every girl looks slender next to you~

     ❝ ··· That's more of a plus, don'tcha think? Sounds to me like a woman's dream come true if I can do that much simply by existing next to them. ❞

[heymans-breda]

a girl would have to be pretty short to be shorter than you lmao

     ❝ Uh-huh. Yeah, you're off the mark with this one. What, do I look like Fullmetal to you? It's not my height you should be going for if it's a reaction you want. Anyway, she'd actually only have to be a tiny bit below average height for that, even if the difference would be just a few centimeters. True; I might not exactly be spoiled for choice, but I'll manage. ❞

[heymans-breda]

What kind of guys are you into? Asking for a friend...

     ❝ Guys? ...Huh. Can't say that I've given it any thought before, since I'm pretty sure I'm not into any kind, honestly. ❞

[heymans-breda]

Are you single? ;)

     ❝ I'm currently in a very fulfilling relationship with baked goods, but... ❞

     ❝ I suppose you could say it's not the only thing I'm looking to have a taste of. ❞

What kind of girls are you into, Breda?

     ❝ Long hair, short, pretty — a nice, slender figure goes a long way, too. Good luck finding that last thing in the military, though. The women are just way too muscular for my liking, y'know? A shame, really, 'cause there's certainly no complaints on my part if we're putting that aside. But hey, what can you do? ❞

[heymans-breda]

fiuehrer·:

          ❝ Hm… perhaps you should relax. Go on a date. ❞

     ❝ ··· That's actually a good idea, Colonel. You did promise to have that overtime date sometime. Remember? You staying here to file these last reports with me would certainly help me relax a bunch — since you seem so concerned with my well-being today, anyway. ❞

[heymans-breda]

fiuehrer·:

#dash comm. #( somebody POP that inflated ego like a balloon already… )

       ❝ You look tired, Breda. Did you not get enough sleep? ❞

     Oh, he's tired, alright, but sleep has nothing to do with it. ❝ I'm fine, Colonel; that's just what my face looks like. ❞

[heymans-breda]

     His lips are parted, poised to speak. He doesn't, lest he puts himself next in line for the bequeathing of Colonel Roy Mustang's sage advice again. The Second Lieutenant will just settle for the usual askance look instead.

"You mind sharing where your fear of dogs comes from? Unless it's just, a thing."

     ❝ ··· It's been a while since the last person asked me. ❞ Breda moved the chair at the opposite end of the table, and then sat himself down in it. He propped his elbows on the polished wood surface and steepled his fingers over his face where a shadow of severity lay now. Mutely, he stared at the man who had posed the million dollar question with his forehead creased and narrowed eyes steady and unblinking. A wordless moment passed, and Breda breathed in deeply through his nostrils and let his eyelids fall over his eyes. He held the air in his lungs, gathering the strength to recall and recount that which started it all.     It was all coming back to him now: that sadistic summer day, the sound of his haggard breathing drowned out only by the ferocious snarls and cries of the beast chasing him with a palpable thirst for blood, the subsequent dropping of the frozen treat he had been savoring, and...

     ❝ When I was six years old, ❞ he began heavily as he slowly opened his eyes again, ❝ the neighbor's dog — bit me on the ass. ❞
