Sometimes you just want to make a funny haha meme and art just happens

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.

people killed: 0

direct orders of "you really really need to kill this guy" ignored: 1

ongoing murders being committed by Ed's own friends/colleagues that Ed got in the way of to specifically stop that murder from happening: 2

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.

concept for a tv show: a cute simple love story between an assistant and a chauffeur or bodyguard or whatever else rich people have and in the background the rich people are having the wildest telenovela level drama that we only catch glimpses of

still-bejeweled-and-shining

(Flustered assistant) "So... do you want to go on a coffee date?" (Very flustered bodyguard) "I'd love to!"

(While they're looking at eachother cutely, we hear a woman screaming in the background "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH MY BROTHER???" . Then somebody jumps off a window)

I had a dream last night where I built and released a computer game called HORSE and all it is is that you play as a horse and most of the gameplay is you being ridden and having to obey cues from your rider (which are visually displayed on the screen). You move through beautiful vast 3D vistas while you hear and see the story of your rider, a young nobleman who's just been given his first horse, happen around you. He makes friends with a ragtag group of adventurers and might romance one of his party members et cetera but you have no part in that, your job is to be a horse. How good a horse you are affects your bond with him and if you're really bad you can get sold to a glue factory. It's an intensely narrative game where this young boy grows up and might overthrow the king or be banished and flee on his treasured horse or might do a variety of other things all depending on how good he is at controlling his horse and on whether his horse takes him where he wants to go or charges off into the woods and gets him kidnapped by bandits or whatever. You don't have any special powers or anything you're literally just a horse.

In my dream this game did incredibly well for no reason, but when I woke up all I could think of was how my dream self had ripped off my previous game idea, Fine, you can play as a magic sword, which is a card battler where you're the magical sword of destiny in the hands of the Chosen One and the story depends on what battles you win or lose; you can intentionally get a weak Chosen One killed and end up in the hands of someone stronger who'll get you cooler cards for your deck but could become an evil tyrant, that kind of thing.

Is HORSE from a first-horse or a third-horse perspective?

derinthescarletpescatarian

First-horse. And if you're too disobedient a horse then they can put blinders on you to restrict your vision and make you listen to your rider more.

Important side not about HORSE is that you cannot understand the language that the human characters speak. You should learn any verbal riding commands pretty quickly just through gameplay, but you can never be one hundred per cent sure what's specifically happening in intense plot scenes and thus can't make deliberate long-term plans to control the narrative yourself. You have to trust that your human rider knows what he's doing and is making good decisions. You're just a horse.

god I would play the fuck out of conlang horse game

if they had bad horse actions I would be the most obedient horse of all time except I would bite or step on feet every time the game offered me the prompt, only prince dingdong gets to stroke me, everyone else gets chomped or stomped
