Originally, this post was all about Uni...

Things that get you of to a good start after a break: Getting your first mid-semester assignment back, and finding out you got a H1 for it.

It's even more cheering when you are aware of how littlemuch work you put into it. Huzzah for the last minute!

In other news, have seen the most recent Sarah Jane Adventures episode. Liked it rather more than the opener, so have concluded that my problems with the first were mostly Slitheen (or actors playing the Slitheen) based, and am looking forward to the next episode.

Whilst on the topic of fandom, my FMA watching has drawn to a halt because, well, I've run out of episodes to watch, and Animasia still hasn't gotten the rest in yet. Bah humbug.

That said, *flail* at what I've seen so far. So very much love! What the adorable and fun-ness of it all, but with a really dark and nasty streak. And I love, like, all of the characters so far.

Though Ed has to be my favourite so far. No, this post totally wasn't just an excuse to use this icon. I have concluded that I consider him another of my platonic crushes, ala Luke Skywalker. (Namely, I madly love them both, but in a completely non-sexual or romantic way). Bless

And given I have seen up to episode 26 thus far, my most recent reaction...

OH MY GOD YOU KILLED HUGHES! YOU BASTARD!

...Ahem. Guess who really liked Hughes, and totally didn't see that coming.

*is waiting impatiently for the rest of the series to arrive*

And he loved his little girl SO MUCH, aaaughhherfhnnn, HUGHES!!!1

Probably my favorite character on the show. Sigh. Though I did like the absurdity of Al, the cute younger brother, being some huge suit of armor, haha.

When she's at the funeral, asking why they are burying her Daddy asdF;lfals;khj;a

I'd say he was one of my favourites, except "one of my favourites" probably includes almost every recurring character.

And I think the interesting thing about Al being in the armour is more the fact that he was the sweet, naive, innocent one, rather than young. In this big threatening-looking armour.

[van.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's it. Al's too young and sweet and innocent to be in this scary big armor, which is what makes it so appealing. And Ed is the short one and is really tough, etc.

Aah, the funeral. And the way that bit plays after the credits and aoeitjhfhierh. Yeah.

I can't say I loved all of the characters, but I don't recally HATING anyone, which is good.

Well, it's a lot more interesting that the expected way, anyhow. (Though if Ed had been sneakier, he could have pretended to be as harmless as his height implies, and thus have the advantage of being underestimated and all)

It's a completely blatant attempt at emotional manipulation, but damn it worked well.

True, true...

[van.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But then again, Ed is like, what, 14? 15? You can't really expect him to not get offended when people call him short hahahaha.

Yes, yes. It does work well, stupid emotions. Sigh. And you're like YES ROY IT WAS RAINING 'cause peaodrjhierh.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

True. It's just that, as shown with mining town and the gold, Ed can be pretty darn cunning when he puts his mind to it. I do reckon that once he gets a bit older, and less sensitive about appearance, Ed could get damn impressive at manipulating people.

Oh, Roy... ;_;

[van.livejournal.com]

Oh definitely. He is very smart and mature for his age, all things considered. But the shortness just seems to be a super point of contention for him or something. Sigh.



Poor Roy augh.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Everyone has their hotbutton issues. (I, for one, got endless entertainment from mocking my sister about being short. And I remain eternally greatful that karma didn't bite my arse and have her end up taller than me)

Poor dear.
