This is the story of how I died. Don’t worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is, it isn’t even mine. This is the story of a girl named Rapunzel.
eruriku replied to your post “GUESS WHO BEAT SEPHIROTH”
what the fuck HOW
1. put curaga in your ‘quick cast’ menu
2. equip ars arcanum
3. take a bunch of elixirs with you
4. have all your mp/critical/combo abilities equipped
5. and ‘second chance’ (this one is also important)
chase him down, hitting him normally and taking all the damage he flings at you, healing with quick cast when your health gets low, spamming arcanum when you get close enough
when he does the red swirly light thing, use an elixir about halfway through the swirlies. it’ll hit right between you going down to 1hp and sephy finishing you off.
hello lali's mirsan friend boomerangst, do you have any mirsan fic recs? if so please do share with me im In The Mood heh pls and thank you!!! 😘💜💕
‘do I have any mirsan fic recs’ that’s adorable. I do. I do indeed. I feel like most of my faves are fandom staples everyone aboard this ship has read, so some of these might be familiar, but here goes! note that * = smut elements
first, to save time, I’m just gonna go ahead and recommend the entire collective scribe and starzki oeuvre (oeuvres?), and then highlight a few specific faves below too!
canon flavored
However The Stars May Fall* by zauberer_sirin - an underrated little oneshot that everyone should read
Home by Griddlebone - because you can’t go wrong with anything griddlebone and this one is just [clenches fist] so perfectly characterized
Small Moments also by Griddlebone - exactly what it says on the tin; why yes I am extremely down to hear more about every single tiny mirsan interaction that occurs in the manga, thanks for indulging me
and I’ve already mentioned team scribezki but I have to mention their companion pieces To Be Proud and For Forgiveness, both short and easy reads that are amazing and in other news I love Taijiya Dad™
AUs (mostly modern)
Twelve Steps to You by Giada Luna - Miroku has to pretend to be a sex addict and Sango is his therapist. I love everything about this concept
Written in the Stars and its sequel Stargazers, more Griddlebone creations everyone should read, set in a universe pretty close to canon but AU enough to be called an AU
Froth by forthright, that ancient classic coffee shop au from the pit of voles
Scribe’s Draw, Partner*, a delightfully unusual modern AU that just has everything
Star’s recent work The Politician’s Wife*, so fascinating and great for anyone like me who sometimes likes their mirsan polluted with a few drops of narsan ;)
Fragments* by LuxKen27, is just incredibly melancholy and beautiful
smut
Good Morning by Griddlebone is basically canon as far as I’m concerned
Scribe’s Steel and Salt is also So Canon-Flavored it Hurts™
Kindred Desire by LuxKen27, expertly written and with just enough plot
also check out
Mirsan Week aka the most important week of the year
and then, finally, if you get real desperate, there’s always my stuff. ( ͡ᶢ ͜ʖ ͡ᶢ)
There are a zillion other wonderful fics out there I’ve probably forgotten (I’m not great at keeping track of ones that only exist on tumblr and rarely dare to venture into the pit of voles), so if anyone else wants to rec things, hmu!
eruriku replied to your post “tumblr: lol who tf even uses ffn that place is for immature baby...”
okay honestly!!! i prefer to review on ffn (i don't really know why!?) which is why i went back to reviewing reading sovereign on ffn, and it also makes me kinda sad that you can't kudos each chapter on ao3; but where would you say most of the Best FMA fic would be?? ffn or ao3?
personally, almost all of my favorites are on ffn but that’s probably more because they’re just older so they were around before ao3 was even a thing. nowadays my fave fics actually come from tumblr lol but the beauty of it is that most people post on both sites so you can choose which one to read it on.
as a side note, i like to make it a point of asking the author individually (at least if they have at tumblr) which site they prefer their feedback on. i personally prefer ffn but i have mutuals that prefer ao3. in the end it’s up to them. i suppose you could leave feedback on both sites, but that kind of deters readers from reviewing or commenting or whatever because it’s an extra hassle. don’t be afraid to reach out!
AND DON’T GET STARTED ON THE KUDOS SYSTEM OMG that’s ao3′s biggest problem in terms of feedback. leaving one tiny kudos on a 30 chapter fic is just nothing. at least let me shower the author in love jfc
I was tagged by the lovely @eruriku! Thanks, babe.

I assume you mean “what au’s I like in fic”? I mainly like to read about new beginnings, but I also really like medieval fantasy au’s and superpowered au’s. Or space adventures!
What was your guilty pleasure musician/s you listened to during your tween years?
On the top of my head: Steps, S Club 7, Britney Spears, and so many others. (i.e. a lot of the popular music back then so it wasn’t really “guilty pleasure” because everyone listened to those).
Think fast! Rosa Diaz or Amy Santiago!?
Rosa Diaz.
Describe what you think your aesthetic is in 5 words.
I always find it hard to describe “my aesthetic”, but let’s give it a try: pastel colours, tea (with cookies), scented candles (vanilla), soft blankets, alternative music.
