So, I was exceedingly bored tonight, and remembered that maybe I should catch up on the last, like, year of the FMA manga. I'm going to skip the gloating/smirking/grinning about a few things that are in uncanny parallel to ideas I've been toying with/have toyed with (in one case almost a year ago), partially because my ego isn't quite up for that posturing, and also because chapter 79 just gave me something to dance about.
Vengeance! Ah, vengeance has been served! Envy is dead! Bahahahahahaha Envy is dead! (There, that's out of my system now and I can stop being marginally immature. I didn't even realize I was still holding that grudge until I got to the end of the chapter and was grinning.)
Also, Hohenheim is named entirely for the alchemist, and that's awesome. I want a homunculus in a jar. They seem so innocent. Well, and conniving. And young!Hohenheim is kind of adorable. Especially carting the flask around and sitting in windows with it. Awwww.
Also, Hawkeye is awesome. I sort of knew how the Pride thing went down, but in context... wow. She wins. Also, Winry wins. And, as loathe as I may have been to admit it at first, Olivia also wins for her brief display of manipulation on par with Roy's.
And is it me, or does everyone speak in lies now? Everything is bait and switch. Which is awesome, especially when it's on a gigantic level, but it seems like it's become the official language of FMA. Everyone is playing their own little game and no one is privy to every plan everyone else has. It's such an awesome mess. Oh, I wish I could write like this sometimes. I can't imagine the story bibles Arakawa must have for this.
That said... I'm glad I waited to read this all in one go, because I can see where it would've driven me utterly mad. There isn't nearly enough Mustang-tachi in between things.And Fuery... ahhh. Am I correct in thinking there are only going to be like, 5 or 6 more chapters?
