Just don't let Armstrong help decorate. They'd end up with little statues and carvings and paintings of him flexing everywhere.

Roy and Riza's housewarming party would probably go down in history as being one of the strangest, the way we're going with this...

Hahaha this conversation is funny! Ed decorating Roy and Riza's house would be bad enough, but Armstrong too? Ohhh no. lol! If Roy is still blind at that time he wouldn't care, but Riza would probably get pretty annoyed. XD

Well, I'm sure that Roy and Riza would at least have a place for all those flowers provided by the Armstrong family's florist... And that at least Alex can carve a few statues for a garden.

Also, Havoc could probably acquire a few essential household goods while Fuery provides a few private lines for communication purposes. Gotta fit in a few phone calls here and there...

New comic based on the silly scan!

Gimpyhair - lol, nice comic there!

Don't forget all the photos Gracia will provide them with, ones that were taken by Maes, of course.

That's great.

As always, Gimpyhair, your comics are awsome ^^

Gimpy--Awesome comic! It made me laugh.

@Gimpyhair: Awesome comic Even sensible women can go crazy over a wedding bouquet.

If Roy and Riza get married, I imagine that no one will leave their house, since it seems like someone will be bringing some gift over, or improving on something to make their lives easier.

Well, I'd hope that everyone gets kicked out at some point! Every couple needs their privacy! But yeah, I can see people randomly showing up for a little while, at least.

Dang! This is such awesome fanfic material! I'm just too tired to write it.

Thank you gimpy, for providing me with endless lulz. XP
That was brilliant! I had no idea it would end like that, even though I knew what the source material was. O_o

Gimpyhair - LOL cute and funny comic as always! Moreee!

It'd just be really funny to see what went on in the Mustang household once they got married and/or had kids
We should have that theme for a fanwork contest!

HOH. the thread!! EXPLOOODEEE~~
woah the thanks or the translation, Spectator! awesome

LOL on the comic, Gimpyhair! more pleease

It's hard to say what domestic life would be like for them... they'd probably be lost thinking, uh what do we do now?

As for decoration, I'd say classic and simple is their style, with a touch of expensive taste from Roy. I'm sure his pay cheque more than allows it, and he'd want the house to be the best it can be for the two of them.

Gimpyhair: I love it! you know that's how it would've happened!

Interesting discussions about Roy and Riza's married life. Well, in 3 weeks we'll find out what will happen to them.

@Gimpy: Awesome comic again, I loved it!

FailToImpress - Then again, Arakawa did say that Roy lives in a simple apartment with nothing more than a couch in his living room. Despite the way he acts sometimes, I think he's just as down-to-earth and simplistic as Riza

Hahaha, imagining their married life together is so much fun

We found out the news of chapter 108 being the finale nearly 2 months ago. I don't know about you guys, but it still hasn't sunk in for me.

I don't know how I'll spend my time after it's finished. What will I look forward to reading every month?

I like the thought of them traveling around together on their honeymoon and just enjoying each other's company. And then settling down to have lots of babies and Hayate puppies.

Oh of course, I think that he is very much like that... In my head I just like to think that for a home with Riza he goes all out and buys things for them both, since before they couldn't. I mean, for all the years he and riza have served in the military, that brings a lot of disposable income. If I was living on my own I'd do the same by having a couch in my living room and nothing else, but if I was building a home with someone I love, it'd be different.

And no, the ending hasn't sunk in for me either. I get teary eyed just thinking about it though.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments

angelofsarcasm - Hahaha what is up with you and babies?! It would be ridiculously hilarious to see Roy getting bullied by his kids.

And good point, FailToImpress. And as we know, Roy has an extremely soft spot for his loved ones, especially Riza


Omake time! From the 520 cenz promise

It's not really the fact that it's ending soon for me, it's more along the lines that we'll be seeing said ending in about two-three weeks...

The fact that the series is officially ending is starting to sink in... but I'm still high from all the Royai, so it hasn't hit me hard yet. I'm not looking forward to the crash and burn that I'll feel once its over though. Nothing to wait for every month! How could it be?!

I will continue to draw Royai though, no matter what! And write stories and daydream about what their life might be like... ahhh I wonder how their ending will turn out to be like! I'm actually hoping there's no epilogue where they have kids and stuff... that usually ruins my imagination. It would remind me of Harry Potter's epilogue, which I still can't get out of my head. It was really disappointing. I'm not a 10-years-from-now epilogue fan. One that happens immediately after the battle would be absolutely fine though, where everyone reunites and recovers... I'd be satisfied with that. And Roy and Riza would be together, obviously!

Must draw Royai now! In preparation for Royai day and the finale!

I'm usually not into epilogues either, but, in Harry Potter's case, I could see J.K. Rowling's reasons. She DIDN'T want people messing up with her story trying to get fame for making 'new adventures', in a sense. Which I think it's nice, in terms of story, to have a definitive closure, unlike the usual "The end... or is it?" we see nowdays. Everybody these days seem to fabricate 'the other story', 'the other side', 'the things they didn't tell you' and stuff like that and it got so tiresome and pointless!
For me, that reflects a creative crisis , where people only seem to care about 'fanservice' and 'reinventing' the same stories over and over again, instead of trying to grasp the information already available. Always eager for more information in every sense, instead of trying to understand the information we already know... it makes all experiences sort of superficial. We barely 'digest' what we just ate and want new, fresh things to eat.

I can imagine Alex draws Roy and Riza their wedding paint. With Gracia and Elysia uncover the finished art!

Too much wild imagination.

Turdaewen: I definitely understand the reasoning and can respect an author for deciding to give closure.. I just hate that disappointed feeling I get when my imagination hits a dead end when I'm given too much information. It's like a mental road block and I lose interest very easily after that.

Guys, just out of blue, can someone give me Flamez_Freak avatar in bigger version? Hehe ^^

I think it was in the anime, my guess is episode 53. Give me a second and I find it somewhere...

Edit: Definitely ep. 53, about 18 minutes in (unfortunately my player can't make snapshots)

@Tian Ai: That comic. It needs to be canon. Made my day xD

Taken from rinoaebastel's lj (hope she doesn't mind):
Flamez_Freak's avvy

Love everybody's omakes/comics/dojin. Though i get the feeling Ed is the only person who is clueless about Royai. He seems pretty dense about those things.

Really? I'd be quite surprised if he didn't at least suspect something. He's seen Izumi and Sig's devotion for each other, as well as that of Maes and Gracia, and Trisha's love for Hohenheim is the whole reason he's so pissed off at Hoho to begin with. Also, he's aware of his own feelings.

And don't forget--Winry was taken hostage for Ed just as Riza was taken hostage for Roy. I mean, Riza is a highly capable aide, but it's obvious it's something she does because she wants to, not because she has to.

Of course, with Royai, it's definitely not as "out there", but I'd bet Ed's at least wondered a time or two about just what's between Roy and Riza.

Woohoo I love that screenshot! Roy Rage! Think I need to rewatch the episode, just for fun.

@Kale Mustang Nup I don't mind because that's for what I do the picspam and upload them (Im happy to see that some people saw and use them )

Sigh I have to think what i can do for royai days, more than update the doujhin/comic >.< but it appears that my brain can't work

I just discovered pixiv and I'm ALWAYS on it searching for fanarts and stuff I never saw before (and there's plenty!)

Didn't Ed once pointedly tell Roy "Don't worry the Lieutenant" or something? Seems like he ships Royai... xD

As I was drying my hair, I totally thought that, if Roy and Riza were to have any sort of wedding ceremony officiated by anyone who knew them, The whole bit you always hear (at least, in shows) about "If there is any reason why these two should not be joined, speak now, or forever hold your peace" would be replaced with, "If there is any reason why these two should not be joined, speak now, or at anytime, and you will be exiled." Dude. You just don't mess with Royai.

Katya Martin - Yeah, I agree! Especially after understanding more about the Ishval War, the Colonel and the Lieutenant's circumstances, I think he actually has a pretty good idea of what goes on between them.

Thanks sooo much for the awesome links, Gimpyhair!

If anyone's interested, I'll try and scanlate them.

Thank you Tian Ai.

lots and lots and lots fo thank yous to you Tian Ai. You made me happy with this

Hm, I can see Roy becoming excited about a wedding, more so than Riza - reminds me of giggling Roy playing with the radio frequencies and Riza's eye-roll look. This would be hilarious considering it's usually the female who embraces the day as "the special day"; seeing her be calm while he runs around being panicked and excited would make me laugh. Perhaps it would be odd to see Riza be simpering and overemotional.

As for children . . . I guess I would rather them not just do it because it's expected, particularly because of the state of unrest the country is in. Stability will not occur overnight, and having children just to have children seems quite blithe of them - I don't see them deciding in that way.

The exaggerated fraternization perspsective likely comes from the fact that power dynamics in the workplace are generally frowned upon because it can have direct influences on rank, favors, and the like. It's different if it's two officers on the same level, but for one to be in almost absolute power of the other creates a power difference that can (and is) often used for exploitation.

Some of them are really nice gimpyhair . . Really . . So much royxriza

Tian Ai--Cute! Thanks for translating!

Thanks for translating that comic, Tian Ai! It was a very cute story.

I think Roy would totally be the one to go betwen being excited and scared all at the same time Heck, I think they'd both be pretty nervous.

At first they're like at the prospect of getting married.

Next they're like which is then followed by after everyone starts fussing over them & the details.

Then they'll be like -> -> as the date draws near.

Finally, they'll all be -> with a side of

^ Brilliant.

I can see them wanting just a small wedding, where they just grab a judge and have their closest people around. But everyone freaks out that it's not good enough and throws them a huge one.

The Royai wedding that we are imagining, would have to be its own manga.

Yeah and we will get flowers and cake I swear it, no wedding without these! I think Riza wants something like this, too...

I agree with angelofsarcasm. Probably Roy and Riza'd plan a small, close wedding... then someone noses their way in and ends up making a huge fuss
Giggle, I can imagine cool-ladies'-man-Roy getting flustered on the big day and cool-and-collected-Riza getting a tear in her eye.

We have such a big Royai fandom. Maybe we could convince Arakawa-sensei somehow to draw out their future T^T
