the “the colonel calls me riza when we’re alone” scene is/was.. lifechanging tbh
lest anyone forget this iconique moment
“Now do me a favor and die” is such a powerful statement.
one of the unwritten rules of comics is that you don’t want to put a speech bubble over a character’s face, but leave it to Arakawa to know the mood of that scene called for breaking the rules to make that panel layout even stronger.
i love that after all these years we’re still analyzing the most subtle details of FMA. Arakawa is such a literary and visual genius and the fact that her series has stood the tests of time and is still one of the greatest things written is a testament of that fact
the internet is so cursed, when people look back on the history of covid-19 it’s going to look so different from the history of the plague because we will have left a trace of quarantine playlists all featuring toxic by brittany spears
That is why Toxic becomes an ancient earth ballad.
I can’t believe Doctor Who predicted this in 2005.
kinda sucks for Zelda that she went to three sacred springs and heard nothing whereas Link can roll up to any dinky old goddess statue and Hylia’s just like, “oh hey man, what’s good, got any orbs?”
to be fair, link IS the goddesses chosen hero while zelda is just her reincarnation. I mean, if you peaced the fuck out and your body regularly tried to talk to you, would you respond? Fuck no, you just got rid of that shit. But that twink you like calls? hell yeah pick up
