Wow, nearly 1000 pages, now, huh guys? But I guess with the lack of Royai in...a very long time, nothing new to post, I suppose.
Anybody else been up to anything you'd like to share?
Well i suppose with an intro. like that i feel compelled to surface again (been a while since i've seen this thread, i go on and off nowadays)
(and yea RoyxRizaFan4ever i think we all understand that the thread has slowed in recent months/yr - with lacks here and there and the US releases slow (anyone remember the TV show? - they should have done it like Bleach, create a new story line and go back to the original when they can)
but every now and then there's stuff to say, there's no other explaining the grandiose size of this thread in comparison to others)
hope everyone's work and yr's goin well tho, such is life
Six months since Roy...my new sig is staying until he returns. I love Ed, but he's only been gone half as long as Roy, so people really are complaining too much...
But then again, Ed's the main character and Roy's just...well, Roy...so I'm probably not judging it correctly...whatever.
It was nice to see Riza, though I would have prefferred to have seen how Roy's been reacting to his news about Selim. Bradley was originally human, so i guess he still has some human in him, and he lives with humans so their example runs off on him even if he doesn't show it.

As much as I, too, miss "badass" Riza, it's not like she can do anything to Bradley. Although, since he's kind of shown her his more "human" side... I dunno where that speculation is going, actually. I've been pretty scatterbrained.
I think she'll break out her guns when the time is right, though. I mean, there are (presumably) some real-as-can-be humans that'll go with Bradley when it comes to the ultimate showdown, so she'll be useful there, and she can at least stall homunculi, since healing, though quick, takes time. I just wanna see some Royai love! Is that too much to ask? We get AlxMei, we get EdxWin, we even get BradleyxBradley's Wife! BUT NO ROYAI! ARG!

Ah yes, the time when we get to look behind the lines... allow me to explain what i mean -
After finding out that Selim is the leading homunculus, it's clear that his relationship with his "father" Bradley and the actual "father" is going to be a big part of the story
For example, notice how when Bradley shares his thoughts with Selim, Selim says he won't relay some of them to Father, seemingly out of respect
For Bradley, just as with Ling, is the only human-homunculus combination, and thus doesn't share the same thoughts and feelings (necessarily) as the other homunculi
So when he said to Hawkeye that HE made the choice, it's likely that he's explaining that he, the human he, has some control in the situation
This is major for the storyline, b/c if Bradley has a change of heart (as he's expressed occasionally in his doubts with Selim) then maybe his reasons for having Hawkeye nearby have interior motives - y else would he hint this piece of info to her?
-- Now this is all my speculation, i could be entirely wrong, but it is a thought to ponder
(heck, a side point, what if in scattering Roy's men, he enabled them to recruit more followers around the country?)
as for the lack of Roy, well, from the storyline we've seen, it looks like his thoughts are irrelevant right now, and we'll see them later; rather to see the development at central.. such is life
OT: AndroidLust nice picture, what is it exactly, a mix of Riza and Winry?
