final season.....I'm not ready

p5e1 and I regret to inform everyone that even with the fascinating political intrigue happening the second the camera cut to not even half of this stupid man's face my brain immediately stopped paying attention and went HAVOC HAVOC HAVOC HAVOC HAVOC I hate him

new favorite side characters: radio station crew who are committed to the bit of being held hostage and loving it, reminds me of roy doing his little radio drama to confuse the military radios

"they'd need a TANK to do that!!!"
smash cut to the tank they have to do that

and that's on The Briggs Way baby!!!!!

"shame I don't get to see the softer side of you more often"
"I'm not crying -- water makes you useless"
like???? literal married couple

I've got to admire Envy's incessant need to stir the pot, like "well obviously we're gonna be here a while, can we at least get some drama going"

roy vs homunculus round....I lost count, and this time, It's Personal

also like that while we deal with plenty of moral ambiguity, every once in a while we get a moment of "no, you should for sure take this guy down"

this is like the third time someone's just kinda picked up Ed/moved him and it really does remind me of someone picking up a cat by the scruff of the neck

Roy.....Roy please.........oh man, aw jeez Ed's right to worry

p4e2 and that final shot of the last episode...oooooh I know what iconic exchange is coming up and I'm vibrating with excitement to finally see it in context

............I need several moments, oh ow, owowowowowowow

like I can't think about this too long, my heart is aching but whole and they've both been through so much and seen each other at their worst and riza trying to reclaim her body and ahhhhhhhhh

yeeEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!
I remember seeing screengrabs of this moment years ago but I absolutely lost it while watching, the deadpan, the zero hesitation, incredible

it was at that moment Envy knew they'd fucked up

also poor Ed and Riza dealing with their own trauma as they try to deal with Roy: "on god we are not letting you let go the last of your humanity bro"

"I have no intention of carrying on without you"
"I can't afford to lose you"
"I've done it again...I've hurt you"
shut up SHUT UP with this unending devotion and dependence or I'm gonna start writing entire essays about you I s2g

Envy and the mortifying ordeal of being known, what a way to go

olivier armstrong has one good arm, a concussion, and like 3 bruised ribs for sure but I still have the utmost confidence that she's getting out of this alive because no one here is worthy of the honor of killing her and so she simply will choose to not die

hell ya hell yA HELL YA
man this thread is just me losing it over all the women in fma:b ty arakawa for writing some of the best damn female characters I've ever seen
