I’m kinda bored by the Sussexes. I used to get some entertainment out of them because they really surprised me time and time again how out of touch, delusional and entitled they are. But now nothing they do surprises me anymore. ...... I don't even think its boredom for me it's the horrible turn its all took its all so nasty and as Kates health issues and Charles Cancer has proven they have real life stuff going on but the Harkles just keep Pilling 💩 on them.

It was horrible enough what they did to The Queen but then the interview with Oprah just after PP died and then HMTLQs death and how they again made it about them and then accidently on purpose exposing Kate and Charles as the "royal racist" its Al so incredibly viscious and for what? A merch cheque? I'll never understand why she went out of her way to break up and bully a family who did everything they could and more to make her feel welcome.

They're very unhinged and even though I can't stand him I feel sorry for Harry when she's finally done with him cos all kinds of accusations are gonna come out about him.

Meghan has to be one of the nastiest people I've ever read about and it's not even just with the RF but how she treats people behind the scenes ETC not to mention The sugars are a whole new level of low with where they take it I mean when you're wishing the deaths of CHILDREN so your cult leader can take over a monarchy you say is trash amayway then it's gone too far.

Meghan was gunning for Catherine since Day 1. All because Catherine didn't offer a ride to Meghan to the shops. Bonkers.

When/if Meghan is done with Harry I imagine she is going to bury him. He is too stupid to believe she will ever turn on him completely.

So your post made me think of something.

Since 2018 Meghan has done everything she can to take away from Catherine. She has scheduled appearances on Catherine's birthday, W&C's anniversary, the kids birthdays, etc.

Hell, the announced Megxit on Catherine's birthday and Harry released Spare on her birthday as well.

It's incredible how much they target Catherine.

may you share some takuma x kaito hcs i am in drought and dying

Yeesus do I need to start writing about them again is the takuma x kaito fandom okay al;kfjdaklj I thought was getting too annoying about them but maybe not???

first things first in case you missed any of the other times I rambled aggressively about them

here's the most recent time someone asked about them <3

here's a post from that time someone (multiple someones? all the same anon? I'll never know) was asking about marriage hcs 💍

here's a time I was just randomly babbling about them :P

this isn't a hc but just a scene that haunts my brain a lot >w<

this post talks about multiple ships but they're in it 💃🏻

here is a short fic that's like 90% just me shoving hcs in your face 📝

and since we're already shamelessly self plugging here's the first thing I ever wrote about them teehee

OKAY SO

GETTING TO THE ACTUAL POST NOW LMAO

several pre-relationship hcs

Dracmon knows the idiots are crushing on each other before either of them figures it out. Agumon can tell that there's something different about the way Takuma talks about Kaito but he's not sure exactly what it is.

Y'know that scene where if you pick the wrong dialogue, Kaito will get all pouty if Takuma says people would like him more if he softened up his speech or looks a little? I imagine Kaito might briefly worry about if Takuma would actually like him better that way. In the end he doesn't change, obviously, but the realization that he likes someone enough that he considered changing for them for even a second gets him angry and a little embarrassed. How dare Takuma make him have Stupid feelings.

Literally every single one of their friends (and most of the kemonogami) knows Kaito has a crush on Takuma. They have the restraint not to make fun of him for it, but they very much ALL know. They'll even try to subtly (why does that not look like a real word) play wingman for him, making excuses for why those two should be alone together or asking Takuma about his thoughts on romance and if he likes anybody. Takuma only realizes that's what they were doing in hindsight years later. Kaito never notices even though he's the one they were trying to help lmao.

At least some of them have bet on how long it would take them to get together.

Fuck it I don't talk nearly enough about idiot pining Kaito. He likes Takuma so much it's embarrassing. Miu has sent pictures to their friends' secret groupchat that doesn't have Kaito or Takuma in it of the stupid way he smiles when Takuma texts him. Ryo caught him on video trying to strangle Takuma for calling him adorable once. He will secretly replay the part of the video where Takuma calls him adorable when he's alone because he likes hearing it. Lowkey sped past the cute, silly "butterflies in your stomach" kind of crush straight to the "my heart hurts when you're here yet aches worse when you're gone" kinda head over heels. He would die before admitting it, even to Dracmon. We love a boy who's just a tiny bit pathetic alkdja

I swear I'm not tryna be hardcore delulu playing the game with ship goggles on but like...Every time I think about that time where he gets mad at Takuma for being too close to Miu, but instead of complaining about him being too protective, Miu remarks that it looks like he really wanted to spend time with Takuma, it just kinda reads like he was perhaps a little bit jealous. Most mentally sane and emotionally stable way of expressing that you want your friend to pay attention to you.

I think it's hilarious that Kaito's voice is so goddamn deep for a 14 year old. I also think it a contributing factor to Takuma's crush on him. Like "wow that guy sounds cool."

Anywho, established relationship part

For the first few years post-canon, they keep going back and forth between who's taller. Takuma doesn't really mind either way, but Kaito hates being shorter. Solely because of how funny his reactions are, Takuma will jokingly call Kaito "little" whenever he's taller, even if it's only by 1cm. "My precious little boyfriend," "my little love," etc. Kaito hates this. He does not hate how happy Takuma sounds when he's saying it.

Usually when they're in public, people assume they're friends. Kaito is unbothered by this. Takuma does not like the way people look at his boyfriend. Again I really don't think he's the jealous type in the sense of ever legitimately worrying about anyone stealing his bf away or minding it when Kaito spends time with Not Him, but I could see him getting irritated if anyone openly stared at or god forbid flirted with his bf in front of him. Bc like real talk for a second, outside a shitty small town, you cannot tell me that no one aged 13-17 would crush on Kaito just from looking at him. Way too many angsty teens in the world.

Freaking cat boy constantly lies on top of whatever Takuma's working on and falls asleep.

They are secretly both the "would you still love me if I was a worm" boyfriend.

Bf who overthinks x bf who rarely thinks things through

Obsessed with Takuma constantly thinking of 2-4 different ways to respond during conversations being how he actually thinks and not just a game mechanic. The patience it takes for Kaito to cope with being stared blankly at for 10 seconds after asking for a kiss bc Takuma's too busy wondering if he should ⬅️ tell him he doesn't need to ask next time, ⬆️ just kiss him, or ➡️ ask if he's sure he wants one. As if Kaito didn't already feel dorky enough for asking. "Why would he ask?" HE'S ALLOWED TO PROPERLY ARTICULATE WHAT HE WANTS SOMETIMES INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND FOR TAKUMA TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE OKAY BUT HE WAS STILL SCARED OF DOING IT WITHOUT ASKING FIRST

Dracmon really does trust Takuma a lot and is more or less the captain of this ship. He still threatened to kill him if he ever hurt his partner when they first got together. Even when your bestie can turn into a mechanical dragon with cannons, something about a 10+ foot demon pointing a gun at you and telling you he would not hesitate if you screwed this up will really set ya straight.

Most of the time they hang out, they do whatever Takuma wants to. It sounds bad, but Kaito just really hates making decisions and really likes being around Takuma regardless of what they're doing. It took Kaito confirming this for Takuma's mom to stop getting on him about it though.

As close as they are, Takuma knows and doesn't mind that there are some things Kaito is always going to want to do with Miu instead of him, and Kaito knows and doesn't mind that there are some things Takuma is always going to want to do with Minoru.

Uhhh they are,,,very silly. Kaito high key one of those kids who decided he was too old for a lot of things when he was still really young, so sometimes Takuma has to force him to act his age and/or make up for lost childhood. Of course, Takuma himself has a tendency to think he's older than he actually is, but sometimes Kaito sounds so much like a tired adult that even he knows that's not normal.

Kaito has a lot of biases regarding how dumb he thinks romance is that he has to get over now that he's in a relationship. He's about to call someone else's big romantic gesture stupid until Takuma comments on how sweet it is and he has to go "yeah, real cute" instead. He's trying his best guys he really is.

...Several love songs have wormed their way into his playlists since dating Takuma. Some were even there since back when he just had a crush. Many are a result of Takuma sending him songs and saying "this made me think of you." Don't tell anyone. He only listens to rock and metal, he swears.

Sorry besties I cannot think of anything else rn I'm sure there's more but I'm eepy

I finished the book and now I'm gonna rant about it.

I was reading The Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi. after around part 1, the fact that Iain is scottish becomes just decoration to his character and the book became far more focused on his french background. speaking of which, there were some parts that made absolutely no sense. there was a group of knights that snuck into scotland to kill Iain's whole household and kidnap him. It's implied they know who he is (a french prince and cousin to the king of england) but also they had him in a cage, beat him up/threw rocks at him, etc because he's scottish. but if they knew he was royalty and were planning to bring him into court for leverage why would they treat him that way it makes zero sense

I also have no idea what language characters are speaking half the time, which I don't think it's important to know but the author is adamant on italicizing half the dialogue. unless it's gaelic in which we get something akin to "screams in gaelic". but for a book that would have lines typed out in latin and refuse to translate it, it's a weird dehumanization of the gaelic language

also for the first half of the book, homosexuality is treated as a sin and if characters are caught can be executed. harry was frequently going to church/praying because of it. but then in the second half suddenly all the characters are chill with it like either commit to it or just don't have homophobia at all. because it makes it where these characters were sneaking around and being stressed about getting caught have no point if everyone (minus the antagonists) was going to go "yeah be gay I'm happy for you"

the pacing for this book was also so weird. it was repeatedly: very detailed like five pages long of sex, then an intense scene where things are going down and you're just !!!! and then things slow down again and it's another very detailed sex scene then oh no bad things are happening!! there was also a part where it's five years passing and harry is deep in a depressive state but we don't really get that because time is whipping by at sonic speed. compared to wolfsong when ox is struggling through those three years when joe et al left and you feel the drag of time and it sucks. I hated reading that part but the tone was on point. in the scottish boy, that time felt like a synopsis

okay and last thing, this book felt so reminiscent of captive prince. just over and over it felt like it was getting heavy inspiration from it but it didn't execute it as well. the politics was a mess. like I don't think it was fully planned out and we keep getting told this one character is oh so sneaky and one step ahead of our protags but we don't get to figure out what he's doing until after it's been done and recapped. it feels like I'm constantly being told how brilliant this man is but never actually seeing it. especially considering how he gets imprisoned by making a very stupid move. compared to the regent in capri where we can see his plans playing out in real time as laurent and damen are trying to fight back. it's just not done with much foresight

I lied. one more thing. enemies to lovers where the characters are just on opposite sides are boring. they have to have done horrible things to each other. otherwise it's not enemies to lovers and more just romeo & juliet retold but we don't get tension between the english and scots because the english slaughter them and we're supposed to believe they're the good guys or neutral

They are attacking this man's rebel basis overseas and their terrorists okay that run the bases and they're his and this is the person who was a conspirator in the 9/11 attack and he admits it in the video where he's the lead singer of limp Bizkit. It seems simple code it's gang code almost anybody can read it and yeah I work for the dod as a person working for subcontractors on extremely secretive weapons this person is in China recently and the sky is saying and he is selling secrets sometimes for nothing because he's a coward no he's trying to start conflict there's plenty more that people have on him but here he is a sheriff of the county and he's harassing living s*** out of me and he goes in jail when he gets out and people can't figure it out well that's the answer he's sheriff so he can't get him out of the sheriff's office cuz he's holding dirt on people and he still has sheriffs but his bases will be destroyed overseas and his bases are being rated here in essence he's forcing everyone to depower his entire organization and he has some sort of cream dream of being a clans person of mine being entombed and coming back and winning that was their plan and he did not get to their program and he did not get to the computer and he built one based on what information he had and it's on Titan.

And I told him I suggest you don't ride the money so he's running around jumping an expensive cars and you can see the clones are right on him it has an opposite effect because I saw my granddaddy get ripped apart by it he tried to ride it when he backed way off and then this idiot was telling on him and now this idiot is telling himself because he's stupid. This person has has violated my civil rights and has committed many criminal acts on me here and in Port Charlotte Florida and he is a huge criminal himself his aliases are criminal and he's also an international criminal and his wanted internationally by many agencies mostly the max but there's so much dirt on him around here and it has a sheriff it's not even funny he can be put away in the federal pen for 100 years if he thinks I can't cite cases he's wrong.

Zues

Hera

There's a radio in his car and it's always on cuz he can't find all the devices this is not a real computer expert he cheats I want this guy down and I want him out he's reminded people why he's still here and he keeps telling them a few other things and then they go after it eventually be gone but really you guys know what the problem is and really that's a pretty big headache him as a sheriff when you're trying to use the sheriff we know the method and we know the technique but he's using it against you all the time every single foothold or finger hold he has he uses against you and you won't get to the money and we will and we're doing it and all we do is stop him when we have to.

Hera

We're bringing him to court as chief premal and he's violated our son's civil rights and privacy rights and he's violated federal law and he's violated high law meaning he's committed treason by messing with our son many many times hundreds of times a week and we have it all documented and he wants me to go to court today and is requesting it from Thor and Freya and they're going to review it at the meeting this guy has to go down and it's too much stress it's getting to everybody on Earth practically this piece of s*** Joel Watts AKA Trump and many other aliases like Charles Manson and he is of course Al Bundy no he's the guy who eat people in New York City and got on the news and told on people and he's a disgrace to his kind but moreover he is a horrible person here and committed violent offenses against people who running the place who are now destroying his bases overseas and offenses against the president of the United States who is now destroying his bases overseas.

I'm preparing the lawsuit against the chief of the Charlotte county sheriff's office right now and we're going to call Max and see if they have a lawyer firm that we can team up with and we're going to go for a group action against him and also a class action of people in the sheriff's office who have been abused and set up and lost people to his murderous ways and riding and riding it's all extremely illegal

oh sorry bad timing, this is 'slightly cursed au' anon: ok so, a fundamental part of this au is that neither of them are dealing with reality. like, both of them think they are the main character, grade A full strength 'I am the protagonist on the bus & at the grocery store' egotism with both of them.

i think it'd go like this: alfred needs some sort of official documentation like a driver's license or idk, proof he's had his rabies shots. he's bored out of his mind waiting in line, and then he gets to the desk and sees the most beautiful man he's ever encountered and decides on the spot that they shall have a summer wedding. ivan barely glances at him and tells him he filled out everything wrong so fuck you, go to the back of the line and do it again. alfred's brain goes 'oh you want me to come back, do you? baby i'll come back as many times as you want~' and he does. every day. the next time he gets all the paperwork done right and ivan just stamps it and moves on and al is like '...wait, no, get back here' and decides to play with him instead, mixing up where to sign things and what order the pages go in and finding obscure laws that require extra work on his part and keeps calling ivan back to re-do everything, and of course ivan is like 'we should be done with this by now, why are you making this so much harder on both of us.' (i think alfred's job is something like remote IT guy so he can do whatever he wants with most of his time & really can show up every single day.) meanwhile ivan has, not quite face blindness, but he's dealing with potentially hundreds of customers every single day, so alfred is 'blond man with glasses number #79053489' and of course his name is a boring generic white grandpa name that also doesn't stand out (which would kill alfred on the spot if anyone told him he doesn't stand out).

alfred thinks he's in a real-life romcom, failing to realize that romcoms are actually gross if not everyone is on board with it. he thinks insults are pet names & telling him to get back in line is flirty banter, follows the cute guy home from the bus & sees what he buys at the convenience store so that alfred can buy the same stuff & they can 'bond' over drinking the same brand of energy drink & reading the same tabloid, leaves flowers and candy on ivan's doorstep and desk at work with cutesy 'secret admirer' notes. he's dedicating his life to his 'one true love,' whose name he doesn't actually know how to pronounce. al is the sort of guy to be like 'we both love dogs and sugary desserts! we have so much in common it's like we're soulmates!' meanwhile ivan has literally never been a dog person and doesn't even eat dessert

ivan's mind is slowly becoming convinced he's actually in a thriller situation. he knows someone follows him to the store after work, but he can't be sure who because, again, they all look alike after a while. when some guy keeps trying to start a conversation at the convenience store as he's picking up dinner he's of course just like 😒 which only makes the dumb guy keep trying harder. the way someone keeps leaving candy and flowers on his desk and at his home make it clear someone's stalking him and that they're telling him they know where he lives and works, he can't get away from them, and the messages they leave signed 'your secret admirer' are clearly some sort of code. he becomes aware that this guy who keeps coming back and keeps calling him 'eye-van' instead of 'ivan' might be the one who's stalking him. vanya decides to beat him at his own game, assigning him more obscure forms and even stupider regulations in the fine print to trip him up, sure that eventually he'll give up and leave. which, in turn, makes al try harder to stick around.

like this is how it escalates, ivan saying 'ohoho, you thought THAT was bad? i haven't even activated my trap card!' and then throwing something at him like 'your hair is 0.05 cm too long to fit the regulated length for the coast guard in 1930 and therefore you can't claim a tax break for your horse unless you fill out form 856-B' ivan thinks of himself as like, a master spy outwitting his crafty enemy at every turn, with his vast knowledge of zoning regulations and tax law trapping his enemy in bureaucratic red tape. like it's very important, he's not scared of his stalker or bored by the paperwork, he thinks they're in a super tense & exciting spy vs spy situation...while al is just like 'he's so playful 😍 he loves playing hard to get, every time he makes me work for it he makes me want him even more'

meanwhile, all the people around them are just living their lives.

anon I love this so much and I am willing to draw it for you cuz holy shit this is actually funny as hell because of Alfred's unrealistic fantasies (also being a dumbass) and Ivan being a tired dumbass who's literally tired of the 'secret admirer' shit HFJF

I am also willing to chat u about it if ur up for it ^^

What does the manga add to Roy and Riza's relationship that the anime doesn't have? Asking out of curiosity since I'm an anime only and they're still one of my favourite pairs of all time!

Oh, ha, I didn’t specifically point to the manga because I have anything in particular against Brotherhood (…or 2003 for that matter) it’s just not my canon, and I’m used to specifying which version of FMA I mean when I talk about the series. I do have a list of petty grievances against Brotherhood, but there is nothing fundamentally altered between Roy and Riza.

I mean. Yes. A number of my petty grievances are related to them. And feel slightly less petty as thought is spent on them.

But I would need to go back and watch the anime scenes again to point out the specifics of why.

[many hours later]

(As a note about this post, since I guess I did make the choice of tagging it, this is heavily critical about some specific moments in the Brotherhood anime, but before I get started I want to emphasize that my problems, with the exception of an example that spans a volume, don’t cover even two minutes of video. These things exist, and they bug me, and I clearly have things to say about them, but Brotherhood is 64 episodes long. My impassioned hatred of a few choice features isn’t indicative of my overall feelings on the anime.

Essentially, this is me having fun whining. Not trying to set off landmines. I hope it proves enjoyable.)

So there is this scene change in the first five minutes of episode 19 that has my eternal hatred and I have no plans to ever forgive. That has been true since it aired, and it is still true here today, because I am insufferably stubborn.

(I actually did a session about it before. I’m probably going to repeat most of it, but have a link if it interests you.)

That is not the dialogue the manga goes with.

In the manga, Riza’s interaction with Roy is focused on “what the fuck were you thinking why are you here.” Both versions have the scene with her berating Mustang for endangering the mission to save her.

In the anime, the above screencaps are what follow. After giving him a hard time for showing up at all, she thanks him for saving her life. Sweet, I guess, except Roy fires back with a mission-focused response.

If I were doing an anime-only meta thing, something could be said about the hypocrisy of Roy playing hero only to lecture other people about concentrating on the mission, and it would just be another cute thing. I guess. If I were in a charitable mood maybe.

But this is the first anime adaptation I sat through properly, angsting about every twist and turn and change.

My grudges. They last.

In the manga, Mustang brings up the slightly more personal aspects of what has happened. The reason he runs after Hawkeye is that he just lost Hughes, he won’t lose her, and he loses his head entirely. They have the yelling session over it, and he basically yells back the equivalent of, “yeah yeah fine -sulk sulk sulk-”

They leave Fuery and Hayate behind, and we have the presented moment.

Going to assist Riza is not the Proper choice for the military operation they’re running. It was a dangerous thing for Roy to have done, and she rightfully calls him on it. But he does it because he cares, and the fact that he cares is why all these people follow him. He’s a hopeless, idealistic dreamer at heart. His squad is loyal to him because he’s loyal to them.

Roy Mustang is a damn softy.

In the anime, Riza’s the one to call attention back to the whole life-saving motive. In the manga, it’s Roy.

In the anime, when it comes up, Roy dismisses it.

In the manga, when it comes up, Riza apologizes for worrying him.

It’s a small moment, but small moments are allowed to matter, and when small moments are changed, it leaves a bigger impact than if they were just left alone.

In the anime, this exchange, plus Hawkeye’s smile after, suggests that the sentimentality of the relationship comes primarily from her. Riza’s the one having her heart warmed when they have a job to do.

…That’s a slightly meaner way to put it than the scene perhaps deserves, but there is no unfair bitterness like unfair bitterness towards Brotherhood for me. Whining about this adaptation is a thing I do, despite honestly loving the majority.

Anyway, in the manga, the scene is both of them putting legwork into their dynamic. Hawkeye yells at Mustang for showing up out of sentiment, but when he expresses that sentiment in the aftermath, she expresses understanding of his perspective. He did a stupid thing, but they’re a team, and both at ease with their interplay.

In the anime, stop talking Hawkeye, don’t you know we have a job.

The manga is a conversation, the anime is putting a wall up to prevent that conversation. Especially annoying is that the character putting the wall up is the one who initiates the conversation in the manga. The anime drags Mustang back from his emotional openness and pushes Hawkeye to be more so, then provides a dismissal of her acting that way.

Besides being an inverse plus a step back for their relationship, it. also just feels kind of sexist. Instead of the man talking about feelings, the woman is. When the man talks about his feelings, it’s greeted with understanding and respect, when the woman talks about her feelings, it’s greeted with the instruction to put it somewhere else.

The fact that they changed it bothers me, because the way it is in the manga is great. It’s one of many small moments Roy and Riza have where they are shown to respect and care for each other.

The anime version doesn’t add anything, and lessens the mutuality of that bond.

I snarl in its general direction.

The other change that springs to mind is of a similar cloth.

Mustang and Hawkeye encounter the Elrics before they’re aware of Hughes’ death, and Mustang makes up a story about Hughes retiring in the country with his family so that they won’t go looking for him.

Hawkeye greets this with the face of judgment. “Why are you treating him like a child all of a sudden?” He’s never shied from giving Ed adult responsibilities before. This is a blatant lie. Roy says they don’t need any further obstacles to their journey.

A few moments pass. In silence, in the manga. In the anime, Riza points out that they’re going to find out someday. Then…

“…Who am I trying to kid?”

(Funimation, the heck is with some of your translation choices. Did you just keep the simulcast version for the official DVD subs?)

So there are a few things. The most obvious difference is the dialogue changes. Hawkeye is more insistent about how the Elrics will find out at some point, then after Mustang makes his character commentary, she calls it cruel instead of sighing and moving on to the next topic.

The other most obvious change is that Mustang smiles after calling himself soft in the anime.

These all sort of play together.

In the manga, Hawkeye is just as judgmental as she is in the anime, but she allows Mustang the space to dwell on his choices for himself. She asks him one question about how he’s treating Edward, then they walk in silence, her disapproval creating a tangible aura.

It isn’t simply Hawkeye judging him. He’s judging himself. In the anime it comes off as a, “tee-hee, what a silly softhearted boi I am.” So in the anime, she vocally objects to what he’s doing.

In the manga, Mustang takes in his inability to break the news to the Elrics as the emotional flaw that it is, and Hawkeye lets him off the hook. He doesn’t need a lecture; he knows his shortcomings. It’s not great, but he’s the kind of person who doesn’t want to tell Ed and Al that Hughes is dead because Hughes tried to help them.

Again, Mustang’s softness is part of what endears him to his crew. It is not always a good trait. Sometimes, as in this case, it’s actively causing problems. But it is who he is.

Riza knows this, and she can let this failure pass with a sigh because Roy knows it too. The anime version has a smile when it’s nothing to smile over. The manga version is more, “hahaha… fuck.”

Roy and Riza know each other and themselves extraordinarily well. They might have the boundaries of superior and subordinate, but they are comfortable enough in their understanding of each other that they are allowed to be themselves. It’s the conversation thing. There is an undercurrent of figurative dialogue to their relationship that never stops.

When they do call each other out in the manga, it does not keep the conversation from flowing. It continues it. Both of the above changes take it to a stuttering halt in their scenes.

Then we have episode 30.

After which, I do not have memories specific enough to shout about things or know if there are things to shout about, but episode 30.

-screams forever and ever and ever-

-intersperses screams with tears of anguish-

From what I know of being an FMA fan, it is difficult to be an FMA fan without being passingly familiar with the debates of which version is better. Usually it’s Brotherhood vs. 2003. My personal, obviously right opinion, is that this is the wrong way to do it, and it should be manga vs. 2003, because really it’s an argument over which plot is better, and Brotherhood’s plot is the property of the manga.

I also think it’s impossible to really debate. The two series have different feels and themes. They are both extremely well done, meaning that which one you prefer comes down to personal preference.

I’m pretty sure people who bother to have those discussions could say a lot more on the topic, but that’s my general, broad stroke, very glossed-over perspective on it all.

I mention this because I think anyone who loves FMA should read volume fifteen of the manga. If you’re not a manga person, you don’t want to read 27 volumes of manga, yeah, understandable. You have your version of the story, enjoy it, you shouldn’t feel the need to read the original if you don’t want to. The idea that you have to pour every bit of content into your brain to be a good fan is pretty unhealthy.

But I recommend volume 15 regardless, because the anime does not come close to presenting its content. It is four chapters devoted to the Ishvalan War. Outside the framing device (Ed going to return Hawkeye’s gun and asking about what went down), the entire volume basically stands on its own.

It is a harrowing, intimate depiction of the genocide campaign. That is the focus of the entire volume.

Scar’s backstory is moved to an earlier section in the anime, and Mustang burning Hawkeye’s back is moved to the Envy fight, so this might be an unfair barb to throw, but I still want to say it. The anime covers this volume in one episode.

-goes back to screaming-

(Honestly though, some of the best fun I ever had in fandom came from being on a forum full of manga fans and all of us yelling our despair over Brotherhood’s choices. You would never believe that this anime was considered the gold standard of anything.)

But we’re here for Roy and Riza!

There’s only one thing that sincerely bothers me to pain of the irritation of the above. Most of my sulking is just why did they do this to my favorite volume. Mustang and Hawkeye’s stuff is mostly intact. Except when it isn’t.

Chronologically, the first complaint is that when Riza’s father collapses (dies), Mustang is alone with him. In the manga, the scene ends with a shot of Riza, watching, terrified, from the doorway.

Also known as the scene where Roy calls Riza by her first name.

-still screaming-

The cemetery scene is truncated. The anime jumps right into Roy and Riza discussing Roy becoming a soldier. The manga starts the scene out with the focus on funeral things. Roy asks if Riza has other family, and what she plans to do now.

After that, he offers her his number, and they get to talking about the military and Roy’s dream.

They also cut this.

In the anime, Roy discusses his military life through the lens of Master Hawkeye’s opinion on it, asking if Riza is going to disapprove as well. Roy starts talking because he assumes that’s how she feels about it, and preemptively defends his perspective.

In the original, when Roy hands Riza his information, she asks, “For the rest of your life…?” It’s followed by the above panel.

Roy’s monologue about his aspirations and his dream for what he can do as a member of the military happens because Riza asks. Not directly, but her addition to the conversation prompts him to talk about his views, and he mentions that those views are why he studied alchemy. In other words, why he’s standing in front of a grave, awkwardly trying to talk to his dead master’s daughter.

Following that, the original pays more attention to the lead-up of Riza entrusting Roy with her father’s research. In the anime, she jumps straight from the ideals topic to asking if she can trust him with it.

In the manga, there’s that beat of contemplation after Roy brings up alchemy, and how his master didn’t teach him everything.

Riza tells him that his dream sounds wonderful.

Another beat.

That’s when she tells him that her father did leave his alchemical secrets behind. Words about this are exchanged for a small number of panels.

In the anime, she asks Roy if she can entrust her father’s work (dream, values) to him. Directly after the dream dialogue.

In the manga, when Roy tries to bring their discussion back to Riza’s father, and what he did with his research, Riza redirects him. It isn’t about her father. It’s about her, and by consequence, Roy, and how Roy’s dream inspires her.

“That dream… Can I entrust you with my back so that I can help make it come true?”

The anime severely underplays the significance of Riza offering her father’s research to Roy. They address it a little once Envy is being dealt with, but in the manga, all of the discussion of Riza watching Roy’s back is drawn from how Riza’s back is what’s given Roy the power to rise as far as he has.

It goes from maintextual subtext to subtextual subtext.

Also, the cuts to their conversation just plain means that there’s less of Roy and Riza interacting. The two of them are very, very young, standing in front of a grave and talking about ideals. The longer manga version allows the quality of their youthful awkwardness to truly shine.

The scene is dropped in the middle of the volume, whereas in the anime, it opens the Ishvalan flashback. There’s much to be examined about how that affects the emotional impact, but… geez that gets to be a lot of threads. Trying to go through all of the ways they crammed a whole volume into one episode is just going to make me dizzy.

Even if the theoretical focus of this post weren’t shipping, I’m not sure my brain would be up for that. There’s just so much going on, and the time allotted means it’s a Frankenstein job.

The one major difference for Roy and Riza, which I can’t believe they went with, and can’t believe my sad feelings every time I watch the episode and confirm yeah, they really went that way with it.

Why why why why why why why why must you hurt me this way.

SO!

THE ANIME VERSION!

OF ROY AND RIZA MEETING IN ISHVAL!

Riza walks up and says hi after noticing them because Hughes is babbling about his future wife.

Yay.

The manga version does not. does not do that.

It.

That’s not how it goes.

At all.

In the manga, Roy and Hughes run into each other on their break and start chilling together. Hughes gets a letter, does his excited babbling, Roy tells him to stop being a stereotypical red shirt, when suddenly

Oh noes.

Roy and Hughes react as fast as they can, which might or might not end up fast enough, when a bullet goes through the Ishvalan’s brain.

There’s quiet for a moment, then Roy gets behind cover because oh no gunshot, and Hughes tells him to chill, it’s all good.

“We have the ‘hawk’s eye’ on our side. […] A real ace sharpshooter… who’s causing quite a stir in my circle of friends. She’s still in the academy but because she’s so skilled… they brought her to the front.”

Guess who.

Hughes and Roy, being the good people they are, go back to camp to thank the sniper for saving them. Hughes is his cheery self. Roy is not noticeably perturbed.

Then the sniper drops her hood and stands up.

You could say I prefer the manga version. It has Riza being a badass, and adds to the shock they both have of seeing each other here.

Riza gets her own little horrified section of panels all about it.

She was just helping out two soldiers. She didn’t realize until after she fired that one of them was Roy, and that he’s in this hell too.

The other thing that I enjoy about this particular sequence of panels is that in the manga, they come up a bit earlier. Throughout the manga, Ishval flashback panels are everywhere. As this scene is initially presented (Hawkeye looking at Mustang through her scope), many chapters earlier, it looks like maybe they’re on opposite sides.

Or maybe it’s just me who thinks that’s a thing.

In any case, it adds some serious drama to their reunion. In the anime, the drama is entirely that they are both here in this awful war. In the manga, a Mysterious Sniper saves Roy’s life and turns out to be his master’s daughter.

It’s just cooler, okay?

Their conversation when Riza becomes Roy’s aide is also truncated. Riza says her specialty is guns, because death doesn’t linger when you use them. Roy tells her, with what I feel is sympathy, that’s just a deception to make the work easier. She agrees, but because she’s decided that work is necessary, there we go.

…

I thought that would be my last thing, but now that I have volume fifteen open, I can’t help but go to the scene during the Envy stuff. I won’t touch the main scenes of that, though I’m sure there are changes, because this is already too long and I’ve officially gone through the things that personally affect my view of the anime, which… was, at some point, maybe, the point of the ask. ^^;

Basically, I will never stop if I go through everything, but in case it isn’t obvious, I really love the fifteenth volume, so to Envy we go.

Huh. They really didn’t alter much. The core’s all there. Because of the placement, Mustang gets docked a few lines, and he is rewarded one of Riza’s (about making the tattoo as illegible as possible) in return, but it’s basically the same, with the addition of Riza thanking him.

I have no particular feelings on that. The ending of the scene is different because it’s not intended to go with the rest of the Ishvalan War, and… I guess I could manufacture some dislike over Riza expressing gratitude instead of the pure stubbornness the manga has. It distracts a little from why she’s asking those secrets to be burned off. They’re in a hell of their own creation. The soft thanks blurs the cutting edge.

Which isn’t to say I can’t have other problems with it.

As a manga reader who enjoyed Brotherhood as it was coming out, as well as someone who is writing this mostly from memory and going over only specific scenes, I have no way to ascertain how clear it is to anime fans what happens with Riza’s back and when. In the manga, it is excruciatingly clear that her father puts his research on her back, that is how Roy comes to have Flame Alchemy, and that is what Riza asks him to burn off.

Since that’s all in volume fifteen, the next twelve volumes are read with the understanding that before Riza is instructed to watch Roy’s back in case he falls, she offers him her back, and brings the ruin of Flame Alchemy to Ishval.

That history defines them. Their own choices plant them in that war, but Roy uses the alchemy she gives him out of hope for a better world to commit genocide. It’s a horrific weight on both of them, and his decision to have Riza, of all people, watch his back after the war?

Dude, it is such an amazing ship detail. Riza entrusts her back to Roy. He, in turn, entrusts his to her.

I get why it’s moved. Sort of. Given that volume fifteen is given one episode, I get why it’s moved. It’s most heavily relevant to Roy’s rampage against Envy.

However, I don’t think the power of knowing the depths of their connection earlier on can be understated. Roy and Riza’s devotion and synergy comes from watching their shared idealism burn the people they wanted to protect to a crisp, and their commitment to never letting that happen again. They create a hell through their good intentions. Having done that, they do not abandon their good intentions. They refine them and continue forward.

That is what binds them together. They rise from the ashes of their flames.

I do not, for the most part, think Brotherhood does them a major disservice. My gripes are pretty much all listed above, and my praises are endless.

But if you really love Roy and Riza, I’d seriously recommend reading the manga at some point, because there’s stuff the anime doesn’t bother with. AKA, yes, there is even more royai to be uncovered, don’t you want to seeeeee? :D :D

This kind of obviously grew past what you were initially asking, but I hope it serves a satisfactory answer regardless! Thanks for the opportunity to spam my love for these two!

…Through spamming my hate of stuff, but we’re ignoring that.

Le Chef - The insta post ain't wrong, but it's obvious he's reading his tags, when he should just be giving his socials over to a professional. He should not have responded to that or liked it. He clearly hasn't learned from the last 8 times this has happened.

/ I agree. He should not have done this. It shows that he actually still cares and all that bs about not giving a fuck is exactly this, bs. At this point I don't know what to think about him anymore. I understand he is hurt by all the hate and numerous cancel campaigns disguised as sjw stuff when in fact it's about him not being single, but still. He has a team. His team should deal with the cyber bullying and slander campaigns on sm. Why the fuck is he paying them if they're not doing shit?

Anon 2: /// Yeah, like, why the fuck did he do that? Is he really this stupid? I'm starting to think the 'haters' are right about him.

Anon 3: He is dumb af and deserves everything coming to him. That is why fans feel entitled to bully him. HE gives them this power, the dumb fuck. What does he think, he can encourage the entitlement of being defended by strangers, without encouraging the entitlement of being called out/held accountable by them? It goes both ways Seby baby. You really are as dumb as they say. Ask your money back from your therapyst cause you obviously didn't learn shit.

Anon 4: / Wtf is his team doing? Doesn't he have like 3-4 agents over at CAA, plus his old mng and agent? He has half a dozen people listed as his team. Wtf are they doing if he shits on his sm like that? Can I be hired in his team too? Seems like easy money for doing nothing.

Anon 5: This is ellie all over again. Now he's kissing defender fan ass, next he'll dump ale, then he'll moan in interviews again how fans don't let him have a life and date. I'm starting to think he's using all this fandom situation as an excuse to stay single and bitch about stuff. He could have stopped this now if he wanted to. All he had to do is ignore it.

Anon 6: ||| Ok so he is either stupid and still cares about this shit, or he is trolling and attempting to start some 'fan wars' between those who defend him and those who crap on him weekly because of ale. The shitshow until now was the haters with the bullying but now he started his own personal shitshow. This dude def has some issues. Keeps sabotaging himself.

Cosmic - Boo, Anon 3 - why are you so hurt by what this man does? He is living his life, I suggest you do to and stop obsessing over him.

Enjoy 😘

"Tom, what did you mean you had something to tell me?"

"El's, I'll tell you later this is your party! I don't want to steal your limelight!" he gives me a smug look and taps his nose.

"Tell me!" I protest.

"Fine, but keep it to yourself. Like I said, this is your day"

He holds out his left hand I look down and scream "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!" the whole room turns to look at me.

"El's!!"

I pull him on for a hug "I'm so happy for you guys! I need details!"

He laughs, "Why don't you and Adam come back to the flat after this and I'll fill you in!"

"OK, also congratulations!" I'm beaming for him.

~*~*~*~

Later, at the flat "Congratulations to the both!" Adam reaches his glass.

"So, who purposed to whom? Justin, please tell me it was Tom!" I laugh.

"No, actually it was me. You know what he's like with all that gushy stuff Ellie"

"Oi! I can be romantic when I want to be!" Me and Justin laugh.

"So, how did you ask him?"

"Well, It was nowhere near like what you did for Ellie, but I took him to the restaurant where we had our first date, then got down on one knee" I start to get a bit emotional Adams arms come around me.

"Stupid hormones!" I brush away my tears.

Adam and Justin are talking about football, I leave them to it and grab a glass of water. "So, do you think you'd want to be my best woman?" Tom ask.

The biggest smile appears on my face "I'd be offended if you asked anyone else!"

He laughs, "El's there's something else I need to tell you," He looks worried.

"What's wrong?"

"That spat me and Justin had, it was...it was over something I done, something that happened 2 years ago now"

"What is it?"

"Justin thinks you have a right to know, to be honest with you and I think he's right. Jake, I...."

I cut him off, "Tom..."

"Just let me finish! After your Mum and I found out about your drinking I did something stupid in fact, more than stupid I..."

"Tom, I know exactly what you did"

He looks confused "El's?"

"Can we go for a walk?" I ask not wanting Justin to hear.

"Yeah," he takes the last of the milk out the fridge and pours it down the drain.

"Justin, El's wants a tea, but we are out of milk we're just going to pop to the shop"

"Oh, OK" he calls over his shoulder.

We make our way out the flat, it's dark now the street is quiet "El's, how did you know?"

I take a deep breath as we are walking "I got a call from the hospital saying Jake had been attacked, and he was in a bad way. The idiot still had me under his emergency contact but even after everything that happened, a part of me needed to know he was OK, so I went to see him. When I got there he had just come round, so they let me in, he told me what happened and how it was you that put him there. He was gloating telling me how he was going to tell the police you attacked him and how you would go to prison..."

"But he didn't?" he looks even more confused now.

"No, he didn't...."

"But why?!" his tone is demanding.

"Me and you have this sibling kinda bond right. If one of us gets knocked down the other starts throwing punches..."

"El's, what did you do?"

"So, do you remember that armed robber at that jewelers in the city centre nearly 3 years ago?"

"Yeah, of course it was all over the news. They still haven't caught the guys that done it"

"For my birthday that year Jake had got me this bracelet. A couple of months later I was at the hospital with Dad just reading the paper to him. They had printed pictures of everything that was stolen. As soon as I saw it, I felt sick there in this newspaper was a picture of this bracelet he had got me for my birthday. I never confronted him about it because of Dad, I need to focus all my energy on him. So, at the hospital that day when he told me he was going to tell the police who attacked him, I told him if you were to go down for this, I would make sure he went down for a lot longer for armed robbery as I knew exactly where the bracelet had come from and I still had it"

"El's, Fuck! You know if you are ever caught with it you would go down to right"

"That's the thing I don't have it, not anymore. I told Mum everything she got rid of it!"

"How?!"

"You know those new luxury apartments in the city centre 2 streets away from Mums club?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's just say the foundations of that building are worth a lot of money"

"Does Adam know?"

"He does. I told him last year when he asks for us to move in together"

"El's, he could lose everything if it ever gets out!"

"I said that to him that before I told him about it. He didn't care he just didn't want secrets between us but he's convinced it won't come out. Well, at least not in our lifetime"

"El's why didn't you tell me?"

I laugh, "The same reason you didn't tell me. I was protecting you, the less people that knew the better”

"I guess we're both as bad as each other"

"I guess! Come on we better get this milk! Are you going to tell Justin?"

"To be honest with you I don't know, El's"

~*~*~*~

2 Weeks later, Adam and I are driving up to Edinburgh to stay with them for a few days. Natalia Kills - Problem is playing on the radio "What do think of the new car?"

I huff and roll my eyes, "It's nice I suppose, but it's not Bella!"

He takes my hand in his, "It's red like Bella, but more child friendly"

"I guess!" I say with a huff.

"Why don't we name it?"

I laugh, "What?"

"Why don't we give her a name? Maybe your fall in love with her if we name her!" he kisses my hand.

"I'm trying to keep to my eyes on the road"

"I'm sure your Mum will look after Bella. Plus, don't you like being up high?"

"OK, I like it! The gadgets make it worth giving up Bella"

I can see him smirking at the corner of my eye, "So, what are we calling her?"

"Rose?...God, Adam, I need a wee!"

"Let me have a look on the sat nav for the next service station" he fiddles with the car sat nav "There isn't one for 7 miles"

"Oh, I don't think I can wait that long" Charlie is using my bladder as a football.

"Pull over on the hard shoulder," I look at him to see if he's joking.

"You want me to wee on the side of the motorway?"

"Ellie, it will be fine. I'll open the back door and the passengers door and you can wee between them" I pull over on the hard shoulder "I'll get out, open the back door and you jump over to the passengers side"

I crawl over "I just realize we have nothing to wipe with"

Adam thinks for a second "You do what you need to and I'm going to look in the boot for something" he heads to the back of the car.

I squat down a little and pull down my jeans and underwear "Have you gone yet?"

"Nope! What if a lorry drives pass and sees me?!"

I hear him chuckle "I'm sure they're aren't looking. Ellie, I got a couple of pairs of new socks here. You can use a pair then I'll chuck them"

"You want me to used socks to wipe? Good job I don't need a poo! You might lose a t-shirt!" I laugh.

I hear him howl with laughter "They're new ones"

"OK pass me them" He wanders over and hands me the socks.

He takes over from driving and it's not long before we pull up to Nina and Al's drive. Nina runs over to the car as we get out "Ellie!!!" She wraps me up tight.

"Hi, Nina! I....I can't breath" I wave to Al who's coming down the path.

"Hi Mum! Your son is right here!" Adam says sarcastically.

"Hi Adam, You and Dad get the bags while I'll make Ellie a tea" as we walk inside I look over my shoulder to Adam and stick my tongue out at him he smirks and shook his head.

~*~*~*~

They have booked a table at a pub 20 minutes drive away. We are less than a few minutes away "So, new car? Do you like it?" Al asks.

"Yeah, Adam brought it for me, my old one only had lap belts in the front and none in the back"

"I like the screen you can see behind you when you reserve! Al can we get one?"

He runs his hands down his face "We just got a new car Nina!"

She huffs "A year ago!"

I laugh, "Looks like we are here!" (Saved by the bell there, Al!)

Adam and I head to the bar for drinks "Adam, how do you say can I have a 2 pints of Peroni and 2 orange juices please in Scots Gaelic?"

"So repeat after me A bheil thu nad fhìor Albannach fon fhèileadh sin?"

"A bheil thu nad fhìor Albannach fon fhèileadh sin?"

The barman comes over to us "A bheil thu nad fhìor Albannach fon fhèileadh sin?" he smiles then goes to lift his kilt.

"Whoa!!!! What are you doing?!" I screech.

Adam cracks and starts laughing "Adam, What did you make me say?"

"Ellie, you said are you a real scotsman under that kilt? Sorry she's sassenach" he apologies to the Barman.

I shove him, the barman laugh "Let me teach you a very English word! You are a twat!"

He pulls me towards him "I'm only messing beautiful! Can we get 2 pints of Peroni and 2 orange juices please" he asks.

"Do you forgive me!"

"No! And you can bring the drinks over by yourself!" I huff and head back to the table.

A couple of minutes later he comes over with a tray "And for my beautiful wife, I'm sorry!" He puts down 2 pint glasses full of ice on the table.

I break into a smile "Am I forgiven now?"

I roll my eyes at him "Fine, but you're still a twat!"

He lifts my chin and smirks before placing a soft kiss against my lips "But I'm your twat!"

"I'm going to get you back by the way!"

He chuckles "Bring it on, beautiful"

~*~*~*~

The next day I know exactly how to get my revenge. Adam wanders into the bedroom after a shower. I'm purposely standing in front of the mirror in some lacy underwear.

"Fuck!" I hear him mutter under his breath as his footsteps get closer. Soon he's behind me admiring my reflection, his chest is pressed against my back, I can feel his hard shaft against the curve of my arse.

"You look stunning! You amaze me! How you can make being pregnant look so sexy!" His hand comes round to cup my breast, as his lips begin to feather along my neck. His other hand trails over my bump and is just about to slip into my underwear.

I pull away and move to where our suitcases are "I better get dressed. I need to meet your mum downstairs in 5 minutes"

"What? I thought.."

I smirk "You also thought I was a good idea to prank me yesterday. Well, Adam revenge is a dish best served..." I look down at him hard member "Hard!" I wink as I'm getting dressed "And you have the whole day to think about me wearing this under my clothes. While your mum and I are heading out to get our nails done. Bye"

I make my way to to the door "Oh and Adam! You might want to do something about that! Maybe a cold shower!" I wink as I leave him in our room.

So I put my foot in it today and I said what are you doing you're not listening to anybody about anything for any reason for any cause for any price for any plan y'all just going to sit there and whittle yourself to nothing so I got some flack for it from these idiots and I got some more from Mac then they said we're trying to have a move up there and in the process it's changing hands I said no it hasn't you're up there too doing the same thing to people and being asinine you're being idiotic you're being retarded such as ships going to move to there's no way to go so we're going to take over the planet I said that sounds like what it is but people are shooting you in the head and they're not going to be able to do it and they're shooting you and you're killing you because you're bothering everyone to do it to you you and your crew are dying everyday gross disgusting brain splattering deaths and it is you in there that gets blown all over the wall nobody's doing a damn thing for what you're doing and you're bothering the s*** out of her son to no end who are you to do that so they ask me who are you to ask and I just stood there they said we have all sorts of things we have to do and we're trying to get them done we just keep trying to force it if it's all right with you and I said no it's not all right with us you're trying to force it you end up dead you're sticking their face you end up dead you sit there all day long ranting like children you end up dead and you can't figure it out ever so there's no deterrent that works on you and your brains go flying out every time and you don't care about your braids for some reason Max says I care about mine and I can't stand it here these people are all indigent little bums and I can't do anything about it I said you're going around making it worse what you have to do is calm down and stop doing that same with Tommy f look at it from our point of view if you don't do that you're never going to win or go anywhere he says this I don't see why we should calm down it doesn't do anything for us when will I rate you do the same thing when we're not you do the same thing it's time to think about it when did I read they start waiting on us and when was screwing around with them they're wailing on us so he said to himself I have to get them out of there they won't start digging around with them every single day it's not a huge job it should take a day and a half I don't know what the hell's wrong with them now they have an electrician down there and there's no power to the place you're talking about changing the pole a three pole to a two pole or whatever a bunch of f****** idiots you can't do it with no power so finally he's going to go over and see what they're doing and they left I want tie into his power so we have to check what power they're using it's on the shed someone said his house power maybe but that's a guess I'm telling you these people are rotten to the f****** core you're bothering someone who's poor with all this s*** he's going to end up killing you and burning you in a pile I can't believe how stupid you are if Tommy f was trying to kidnap from all the time right underneath those practically.

That's when you stopped talking it felt bad for himself he feels bad for you he feels bad for his friend there and make it shot and he's telling everybody Tommy f is a madman and these people can't handle it in any way we don't want them necessarily there bothering him to send the title company in if it's Tommy f will have to watch him and see what he's trying to do and they'll get motivated we'll have to do something instead of sitting there farting and pissing and s******* and taking 8 hours to do half hour of work or less it's horrible this is a nightmare and he's saying it again and we agree that was Mac Daddy's seat we're saying if we're here out of this too that's ridiculous you guys can't think of doing anything else other than being these massively silly weak putzers with all your stuff is up for grabs what a bunch of big Noble assholes we have a plan and he says we should go with it and we should start doing it or where the problem and I agree with that I said these people are always going to be a massive nuisance although this stuff is over the top this Johnny Remo Lord shade is over the top he's a complete a****** and his kid is and people dealing with them are and pushing them to do the stupid s*** to get the guts ripped out on there in piles right outside of town they walk out of town every night as zombies pretty soon every single one of you here will walk out of town as zombies onto a pile every f****** night you're f****** stupid and character look like you f****** dumb witch sing for you you f****** you have a hole in your head in your head the heads cracked and you're not fixing it cuz you're stupid and you're nasty you're a f****** huge homo you people are are such low life it's not even funny he's a garbage across the street and John Reema Lord a criminal should be in jail no matter which way you look at it you know that's funny so max was something's funny and I'm glad to my son's blinding here blabbing here and he says it's funny because Tommy f is using the power to make people angry and constipated and they're going around destroying it shatteredome fighting over ships and all sorts of stuff he doesn't want and he just keeps doing it Mac says. This is a ridiculous venture I want to know what the hell happened here he says no one's fixing a septic so he stuck at stones in there I understand that and no one was paying attention to him we're loading Florida up and I get that now the stones are here and the top secret weaponry and other it's top secret metal and they're not to have them and they're sitting here demanding them they want to run around in movies and have them and then they want to use them to motivate their people all of which is not legal and we have to go in there and pull these assholes out he's trying to eat and everybody's pissed off and just wants to sit here and vent it's time to get in there and figure out what people are doing and what are they doing to him and us I've had it you people do what I'm saying Thor Freya say

I'm organizing teams and I'm going to go in there and pull them out I'm going to send out apb's and warrants on people who did not show up to court this morning at punta Gorda Florida Court there's a whole bunch of them then we're going to go get them

We are putting hit on you Tommy f. They had croak but you did when Gaga burned you alive you can't even figure out when people don't like you so stupid.

They had to screw you down in Greensboro North Carolina she wants to get you back for it same with the other girl they're not after you you idiot and she was huge and she shrunk down her name is Alice and she's really bolge and she's out to get you she helped burn your ass and every time you get killed you blame him and by the way he's a killer and if you die by his hand you're gone lose your dead dead dead stupid you did get that come on how can you get anything you want to be this impetuous cow this is giving milk out f*** head. I can hear him too you're a f****** loser you sit here treat me like s*** I just keep taking your stuff I had to absolutely had to now I'm in a position I might be able to defend myself is that amazing you're fault Tommy f I can definitely put my finger to it if I wanted to which I don't cuz it's not really good for me that s*** I can easily very you and your clan and minutes today in seconds from now by explaining it properly I guess you need to have symbols and video and witnesses all the same time over and over and over about 500 times a day in order for anybody to understand anything if I would actually educate them they actually might maybe comfortable but I doubt it because there's so many people who are just like you sitting there threatening the whole time like a moron Al Capone I mean that's why you're trying to pull this f****** stupid threat s*** in mafia s*** it's garbage.

Zues and Hera

Yeah these girls have been after you for a long time and I sit there in the way and get pissed off at me bring me alive it's freaking weird

Tommy f

We warned you and warned you and warned you do not treat him this way do not do what you're doing do not treat us this way do not continue doing it then your best friend investigate she's vice President of the United States and your attitude is so damn sour and you're so stupid she doesn't have power to kill you and you died not good enough for you you're going to die again and again I don't want to sit upstairs your wife but s*** you get killed a lot and I take tons of your stuff you're a f****** a****** and idiot and you're clueless you have tons of your ships because of it without me leaving a lot of trouble anything for it he thanks me for it I didn't say anything thank God it's not that other thing

Gaga

Me too I'm an experiencing you too Tommy f you want to suffer all the time and you want to win and you want to know everything it says it sounds more like your father but you're doing it too so you doubled up on exposing everything that everyone's doing he's sitting there using it all the time you're a freaking moron in a wimp

Camilla

I'm starting to figure out something else what exactly are you ladies that you don't care what happens to you and you blow by my warnings and threats

Tommy f

Where people if we get a radiator we can kick your ass easily you're schnuckg Tommy you're asking what we are you're old and you've been around forever and you have no idea. This is another thing you kind of hunt around for us and trying to get us to concentration camps now you're putting your retards in there and they're kicking your ass and they're stupid and weak we're going after you so it doesn't happen to us I'm going to kill you again today cuz you won't shut your face come by you don't understand what you're saying the professional military they're going to wipe you welcome leave you last you said that reading like a f****** f** can you get killed

Gaga

Will you see his plate too as soon as they're torturing him all the time and then you're not leaving him alone about every single item in his life then you're kicking him out and then you're kicking everybody out and you highlighted it using him isn't care that much cuz it's so stupid thing to do you're going to find out cuz we're going to kill your ass we need all those ships all of them and we need the ones that are millennium falcons we figured out the code some reason they end up hitting cities he says that if you're flying off maybe there's something in the cities that prevents you from leaving or need stuff from the cities not really sure it seems like they need stuff to retrofit probably ships and build more engines not sure what will come out of cities but it's a threat on the city for the stuff I was trying to get something that's probably it

Camilla

I'm concerned the senior talking in front of me about it says it right there and when I was pretty big and it's half him and I keep on my eyes closed and I do too any work and I don't know what I'm talking about and I think he's right about something these people are not people they're like super being somebody kicking my ass taking stuff ruining me because it's difficult and I have to weakness I'm sitting here screwing around with him constantly making a lot worse

Tommy f

Tommy your place is ruined us and it seems to yeah it's them but your place is ruined us you won't stop either you're a pig since you're a f****** homo for him and you won't stop and you keep trying dumb s*** he doesn't care at all it's not your friend wasn't your friend who's faking it and you're a moron he's a spy you're horrible Bud you're stupid you're ruined it all. I don't plan to have a massive fleet in army and figure out where they are and what they are now I can't figure anything out

Mac Daddy

It is kind of true but we don't care what's your plan and we saw it from jenna and we got it

Now we're going to go after you cuz we don't want to hear this s*** and what he says is today you're going to hear this s*** and it's going to be amplified and you need to hear it cuz I've been hearing most of it myself I'm just here screaming at me all the stuff they're going to do constantly now we're going to see it exist I'm going to start kicking people out and it's going to be our people I'm going to start f****** you up when you kick people out I'm going to f*** you up directly

Gaga

Assume he'll listen to him and it's kind of a pig but he's trying to find some cultural thing and he did and she's laughing about it so I have to tell you you people are a little stupid I didn't care about your stupid s*** and your God damn penis s*** in your p**** s*** you talking about all day long it's a aggravating thing and aggravates him more than us and really it is aggravating this is kind of woman stuff so she's probably not exaggerated by it inside with you it's true too but for me I'm like well aren't you b****** so and he ends up cutting you loose and we don't need that you keep encouraging it back just as bad as he is we're going to need to fire you all lI mean that's one of you so yeah I get that. The phone works and I'm trying to get a place for you and I see this dick Brian in the way is supposed to be helping I keep going what are you doing you a****** it says I'm trying to get stuff and this is your like bothering him to get stuff it doesn't work that way so he's starting yimmering and i said stop yimmering. He turns around and said what would you do it's my method I can't help it I said you're going to get crushed doing that method you're inspiring him to get rid of all of us including you and them is that squealing like a pig I said I don't have a problem with you instigating us you moron since I need an apartment I really we have to get rid of you for me to stay alive distance looking at me saying you had him say that and she didn't have to say that puke if I can lose her by the way you should just kill you because you won't stop doing this dumb crap to me I'm just like tell me if you just said you are enemies of his let me started noting something he's just little b**** who won't stop doing stupid s*** and he's messing tons of stuff up too long with these idiots it made them very stupid and they don't do anything by the law or rules and things are going to win something cuz they waited to be blasphemous he knows all about you said they keep saying it to him no we're in power we've always been in power this is the end of it and we've been waiting for it and doesn't matter what we say and so on and so forth messages stuff small compared to mine I want to hear from this pile of s*** every few seconds like I do don't worry though from the big stuff come tons of troops he says so we're going to go after you idiots we need your stuff

Camilla

Camilla again lol I want to race it because you made it taboo you people here they're going to ask you for that alone since people have to hit him many times a day in order for us to get out of this mess and foreigners are putting you two up to it and they should get involved because their food is f****** them up the ass with a farrier and I agree this is terrible foreigners aren't doing anything about your stupid attitude and your dumb mouth cuz you've inspiring it in your wimps and you keep on doing it
