Unexpected side effect of mainlining Full Metal Alchemist late at night: unusually vivid half-awake dreams the following morning concerning some uncomfortably hot Roy/Ed with handcuffs and mindgames.

I'm not sure I trust my subconscious even remotely any more.

I'm one of those Hughes/Roy people too, obviously. Something about Roy/Ed really squicks me, since as a Roy fan I can't see him actually doing anything with Ed or being interested in him in that way, but I am in the minority here. (I think Ed crushing on Roy could totally work, though.) Anyway, yes! Keep watching!

[futuresoon]

See, I could kind of see it as a power-play kind of thing? Even though that idea's a little squicky in and of itself to most people. I think maybe there's just something embarrassingly kinky about the whole thing. *shrug*

...so, I decided to watch the next episode before finishing this comment, because it's apparently the one where the Hughes/Roy gets really obvious? WHAT THE HELL, MAN, WHAT DO TWENTY-FIFTH EPISODES HAVE AGAINST THEIR CHARACTERS. I THOUGHT THAT ONE WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL LATER, TOO. WHAT WHAT WHAT.

[burningvigor]

It's just weird since I usually have no issue with trying out any pairing, but I don't think the underage thing works for me for some reason. I guess everyone has their squicks, though. A lot of the problem I have with the fandom, too, is that most people don't even address the whole YOU ARE TWICE MY AGE thing, and instead act like it's hunky-dory.

AUUUUUUUGH GOD. HUGHES, WHY. I know, it's so unfair. fdjkla;fda dammit, I can't think about it too hard, auuugh. ;__; But yes, pie and shirt-grabbing and a terrible phone call. FUUUUUUUUCK.

Roy's devotion to Hughes will continue as the series goes on, though. Hnnn.

I suspect significant-age-difference might be one of my kinks, really. (To a certain extent--I'm uncomfortable with stuff involving anyone under 15. Which, of course, Ed barely escapes, but most of the time he could pass for 16 or 17 anyway, in terms of maturity if not height.) And fifteen years of age difference is far from the highest I've read. (Live Free or Die Hard is pretty much the haven for that kink; the two main characters are late-50s and mid-20s, respectively.)

Pie and shirt-grabbing and a terrible phone call and his daughterrrrr ;_; There had better be some hardcore devotion, or I may have to cut a bitch.

[burningvigor]

The largest age difference I've done is Peter and Nathan, I think, and while I love the dynamic with the age difference in that one, it's kind of different since Peter's 26. So yeah, it really must have to do with the underage thing.

AUGH, HIS DAUGHTER. And Gracia, too. Fuuuck. That show is so goddamn mean. And I don't think you'll be disappointed there, but I won't say any more.

You've seen bits of Greed and Kimbley now, haven't you? I FRICKIN' LOVE THEM TOO. Mmmm.

[futuresoon]

I've seen a wee bit of Greed, but not Kimbley, I think. (And the new opening credits make me saaaad, because Hughes isn't in there any more ;_;)

[burningvigor]

Oh, maybe Kimbley comes up after that. You're in the middle of the Lab 5 stuff now, right? If that's the case you should be seeing him soon. (Auuuuugh. Oh man, the last opening sequence has this shot that will just make you even sadder.)

[futuresoon]

I think Lab 5 was already destroyed--unless there's much more to do with it after that? In that case, yeah, middle of the Lab 5 stuff. (...when does the last opening sequence come up?)

[burningvigor]

Hmm, I'm not sure. I don't want to ask you if such and such has happened yet in case you haven't gotten there. HMMM. Oh, but Greed's in the OP you're on now, so there's that. ♥!! (Uhh, it'd be for the last 13 episodes. It's also the best song imo.)
