A bunch of rants I cooked up (one with the help of a friend) and am posting out of impulse and anger.

Warning, spoilers for the manga chapters abound, upto the latest.

Yeah. When it comes to the anime, I ship Roy/Ed pretty hard, but for the manga I really like Ed/Winry. But (and I am totally not saying that there's no Ed/Winry with this), with the manga, Winry being in love with Ed is canon, but Ed's feelings are up for debate. He has very typical teenage boy reactions when people tease him about Winry. Not saying he doesn't like her, but if he does I don't think he realizes it yet. He obviously loves her, but it just doesn't feel romantic in nature yet. All his emotions are focused on Al. In a non incestual way, I think. (Or maybe an incestual way, who knows? I'm not big on Elricest.)

I like Ed/Winry, but I am basically a huge pairing slut. If it's believeable, I'm game. (And if it's not believeable but the author can make it believeable, I'm more than game.) I, as I said, fangirl Roy/Ed pretty bad, but I love discovering new, fun ways to pair up the cast. Right now I am on a Ed/Winry/Al and Hughes/Gracia/Roy/Riza kick. *shrug* Why not?

Yeah, if you don't like something, okay, but the only person who really knows whether a pairing can happen or not is the creator. If Arakawa wants to make Ed and Winry get a happily ever after, white wedding ending and then add an epilouge where they have 3.5 kids and a crap load of kittens in their picture perfect suburban home, good for her! And if she wants to make Winry decide that, no, actually she might just like Kain Fuery now, he can appreciate the beauty of automail better and Ed can just go off and hook up with Maria Ross or someone, then, well, that's great for her, too!

The women of Fullmetal Alchemist are so completely, totally kick ass. I don't get why girls would bash them. There aren't enough truly capable, awesome female characters out there. What the hell happened to girl power?
