I really like Richie, not even necessarily as a person, but sometimes I can just really be into an emotionally stunted, blustery, frustrating person with problems who has a latent desire to be decent but is fucking it up in every direction and at every opportunity. (See also: Haruka, Roy*) I loved the scene where he was talking to his daughter after being an annoying piece of shit with Sydney, because, I just like it when people aren’t flat. I can, myself, be an emotionally stunted, blustery, frustrating person (EVERYONE ACT SHOCKED) but I have my good moments, and I love it when a person can be a chef’s salad. All these things at once.
*oh here I’ll complain in a quiet place–MAJOR FUCKING FAILURE ON FMA’S PART NOT TO HAVE ROY SMOKE.
