Oh right! And...

Pat Quinn, I'm sorry I said you'd never have as much hair as Blago. Thank you for signing that bill. People at work said they'd never seen me so happy. And, as far as being at work goes, I'm pretty sure that's true.

Now I just have to hope I don't get laid off.

And, so I don't spam the crap out of everything...

Holy crap, guys, I wasn't going to watch the new FMA anime but the new Central looks fantastic and it makes me want to reboot some things that were long-since forgotten. Oh, this is the Central it was meant to be! It's all noir and dense and there's more to it than the military, and I don't doubt a bit that it's kind of based on Metropolis, which makes it even cooler. I could live in this Central. Hughes has an apartment. It makes so much more sense for a city.

Also, the gratuitous Hughes scenes made me want to cry. You are so cruel, FMA! Setting him up the same way you set Nina up the first time around. Oh man. And giving him and Gracia an actual relationship. Hughes without the hair gel! Oh, it tickles things that existed only in fanon for me. I missed this world! (Though I did not miss canon!airhead!Hughes a bit. And is it me or are the rooms in this universe incredibly large and sparsely furnished? Also, I can never figure out when Roy is talking, because he sounds so very different... I do think this makes him sound more his proper age, though... Oh, and man, I hope it was the translation because if there were that many puns about ice in the Japanese I'm going to cry.)

...Gah, now I feel like I should watch it. IT'S GOING TO BE SO WEIRD.

It is weird! So weird! Because other than the manga, everything FMA in my mind is all tied up with omg_alchemist canon instead, and it's so odd to see things in the FMA universe again that make sense... (-;

Ahahahahahaha so Lauren brought it over (she'd seen it already) and watched it with me and Dar. And yeah. SO WEIRD. Still getting used to the couple of voice changes, and the slight change in the art (lol I actually found Hughes' hair to be really distracting). But it gave me great joy... I've really missed this fandom! Watching the episode was like, über-nostalgia, I kept wanting to hug all of the characters and tell them "OMG I MISSED YOOOOUUU~!!!" And it's exciting to see them doing New Things that I haven't seen them do before, and wow ye gods yeah that city is shiny.

But lol yeah all of us have FMA inextricably tied up with Omg! Dar said she can't look at Hughes without thinking of you (same here), and that in profile you two even have the same nose, LOL. I squee'd when I saw Gluttony and made grabby-hands, he is still my adorable little fat baby of adorableness and scary eating people.
