HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH XDDDDDDDDDDD

thank you all for the birthday wishes my birthday was yesturday thats why its not on the site today ;;;; and of course the site was down yesturday.

*whimpers at the fact that he cant find FMA cards anywhere*

I can't even drink!!!!! XDDDDDD Nor would I really want to, but yeah XD Hope everyone here has a great new year! (it's only about 7 pm here, so I have a while to wait...)

I get champagne this year.
Happy New Year!!!









I always feel bad for this guy cuz I never use him in my posts...

someone make a Royai pic for newyears

I would but I placed myself in an artistic slump

I've been out partying for new years and got back just for a minute... anyway i'd like to welcome Roy_the FireStorm Alchemist, white alchemist and the last samuri!!
And Happy New Year to all!!

@ Valérie and Tombow (i didn't know u lived in Europe - cool) - happy belated new yr.!!
@ Kyo_Umerio - happy belated b-day!! - and get better soon if ur not already...

@ Giuhni - that pic is awesome, very well drawn - what is Hanetsuki btw?
@ Azura Elric - feel better those scans are awesome btw - and i'm glad they put Hughes in there too (i hear Ms. Arakawa's managers actually really like him - still it's awesome that Hughes is included in modern FMA products - I belive (as u can all see from my avatar and sig) that he was, and still is a huge part of the show and its meaning...
-- but i digress from the topic of royai, i appologize...)
also, i've never seen that magazine before, do u know what it is or where to get it?

Eh sorry I'm not in the best condition to be drawing = =
but...I know I shouldn't do it, but the image and everything was just there.



HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Awww, @Azura Elric - That is totally beautiful!! Thanks a bunch!!
And, thanks for other pics as well!!
The link in your last post is a great find!! In the pages posted on that link, it seems the movie dirctor is talking about Ed and Al after the movie, and about Roy in the movie, etc.
I'll read them when I have better Internet connections, right now my connection is terrible...
Hope you're feeling better!!

@White alchemist - Thanks for the link!!
And AndroidLust - hehe, That pic is bit NC17?? I guess.

@Jade Alchemist - I'm not, but bunch of others on this thread are. And, Hanetsuki is an old Japanese game, kind of/sort of like a badminton.

@ Reika: Thanks for the +fav XD. I used Photoshop to trace and to color it ^^

@ AndroidLust and Azura Elric: Thanks for the pics

@ Kyo_Umerio: I didn't know your birthday was on 30th, so happy belated birthday!!! ;;

@ Jade Alchemist: like Tombow said, Hanetsuki is an old japanese game, similar to badminton, played at New Year. And the person who loses get marked on the face with ink by the adversary XD.

no prob ^^

Azura Elric, that's so pretty!!! Thank you for posting that!!!

Tombow, where'd you get your avatar from? It looks like something from Katamari Damacy...you always have the cutest stuff XD

(Oh, sis (Reika) the reason your sig isn't showing up (well it isn't on mine at least) we had some problems with hackers on the site...and it mighta got...deleted or something >_>)

Wow, I don't know which art to compliment first so I'm just goanna they're all beautiful and thank you to all who posted them.^^

@seventh_sky: Did you say there were hackers at this site yesterday? Maybe that's why I couldn't log in. Who would hack into this awesome site?

oh,
Happy New Year!!

It's still the fisrt here.

@ sleepy: No, not this site XD One of my friends made Reika's sig and I think she's hosting it off of his site still...and we had an issue where the entire main site kind of...disappeared...and Yoshi's on vacation so he can't really get it back yet....

*flails* omg <3 I'm such a happy person right now. I was Rping with a friend who does Roy, and I'm doing Riza and he just proposed to me! XD surprising that it's on New Years Day too. *is having a spazzing day*.

I'm sorry I needed to let some energy out. >W<

no problem, sis xD I didn't even notice it xD lol

@ Tombow - sry for the assumption, it was based on ur previous post when u said something about posting too late for European posters - i guess i read it wrong
@ Azura Elric - no need to work when ur sick, but thanks (and feel better if ur not yet )...(referring to ur earlier post)
--and that second pick with riza holding a gun to Roy's head, i love it; she looks fearful yet sexy - i've always been keen to a woman who's friendly, cool and can kick my ass

Ooohh...............I guess the site was just down yesterday. I'm glad it's not hackers.

@Jade: Yes, Riza looks awesome. u.u I would say what you just said about women but I'm a girl so it won't sound right. lol.

I think dark Roy looks like the matrix, but is also sort of real.

Pretty realistic and good work people.

erm in need of some translation help.

Been wanting to know what they're saying for the longest but I haven't gotten anyone to translate it T.T

wow thats a big list XD!!!! poor Tombow... *pokes at Tombow...* take your time you hear me?

thank you all soo much... i spent $100 on my birthday. i got this really kewl Naruto zip up hoody.... and i finally caught up on FMA DVDs. and caught up on my Manga... and i got the FMA 2006 calender and a Gundam Seed Game..... if anyone wants Scans from the Calender let me know... but they are all mostly pics we have all seen before.

eeep... i also have a FMA calendar and was quite heartbroken when the pictures were images i already saw >_>;;


wow... that's a long list, shall click on it later though... *is excited*

@Jade: O.O That looks so much like Arakawa's art. It doesn't even matter if the boxes is crooked or lop sidded. It's so beautiful. I'm so jealous of the artist who drew it.>.<
I can't read Jap but I can guess what the first pic is about.


Ooooohhh...Tombooooowww.....

Yes, yes, I'm here!!

*Go read the series of fan-manga in Azura Elric's post*

OMG, this series of fan-manga is soooo good!!
The big question is, "Is Roy going to pop the big "M" word??"
Yeah, it's THAT lovely!!
(Feeling guilty enjoying them before many of us.. )
Thanks Azura Elric for bringing those!!

It's a "must see"!! I, or someone, will difinitely translate those, I hope.
I have one more fan-manga rex has posted to translate, which is also nice one, then I'll get those next.
If you guys don't mind me being slow I can definitely get them translated, or, as always, others are always welcome to pitch in with translations.

ETA: I almost forgot...
OT: @seventh_sky - my avatar is (actually, was, because I just went back to my "non-holiday" avatar XDD ) from "Hanasake(flower blossoming) Mee." They dance and that supposedly makes flowers to blossom. XDD
[attachmentid=3106]
They are quite cute.
BTW, I love your new avatar and siggie!!

um..*a bit confused*.. aren't those the same images from the site i gave on my first post? (a link on the site leads to those)...
is that what u meant SsleepyAlly wen u referred to me ("@ Jade") concerning drawings similar to Ms. Arakawa's art?
really sry for the odd reply, it's just that i don't remember posting pics like Ms. Arakawa's art unless it was the same pics that Azura Elric is asking about...
btw - good luck translating so many comics Tombow - can't wait to hear what they mean...

^^ @Jade Alchemist - Yes, it is from the same site. Tho I completely missed this one when you posted the link to the site (probably because on my computer it showed a line of single squares as INDEX when I visited the site from the link in your post.. ) and I'm guessing the similar situation might have happened to others as well. So, I'm so happy Azura Elric posted those, especially posted together as a series of actual manga/direct links in one post, because it makes so much easier for me to focus on them and translate.
And, once again, thanks everyone for bringing those wonderful Royai links, pics, and fanarts!!
I'll be soooo deprived of Royai pleasures without you!!

ok, i got it; i meant no offense if i sounded odd btw, i was just wondering if i was correct or just seeing things ...
i agree, it is easier the way Azura Elric posted them (thanks Azura Elric ) and i'm sry my link didn't show everything available (my comp. shows the same thing sometimes btw, and if i think i know what u mean by squares - i just clicked on them anyway when i found thie site understanding that i'd get something with royai )
again - they seem like alot of work to translate (but that's just me, since i unfortunately don't know japanese) - so good luck

^^ Thanks!! I probably gonna need it!!

i have an idea Tombow.... we can make a game out of it translate it together... and you can teach me Kanji ....

@Jade: I'm sooo sorry Jade. I was goanna type Azura's name and then I was also thinking about the stuff you posted up and remembering that you were the one who posted the the link to that really cool site.....and then my fingers just typed up your name for some reason..........Sorry I got you so confused.....*my brain's never working >.<

I was wondering about that one particular post also XD it's ok and I'm sure Jade will forgive you too and be less confused.

haha, no worries, it's all good... and i'm sure ur brain is just fine
we're all friends here, mistakes happen ...
i can't wait for those translations... btw, anyone know where u can get japanese lessons; i already know 3 languages, but i'd love to learn a 4th one that would help my anime-loving persona
i'm guessing "kanji" - like Kyo_Umerio said in the earlier post - is the japanese-sub language that i should look up if i want to learn?

Tombow, you rock!! Thank you for so patiently translating everything!!!! wheeee!!!! Those little blue and pink things are so cute!!!! (I think I'm high on cold medicine...erk...)

Does anyone have some scans of Roy that I could use for a banner or avatar or something? I seem to have run out XD

Azura Elric, your new siggie is really nice!!!

Oh, and Sleepy, do you mind if the siggie I'm making you is really simple? I can't seem to get the pictures to agree with me XD

Happy New Year Again! I drew this image, RATED M!!!!
http://www.deviantart.com/view/27172520

That says it all XD

Yay, the board is back!! (Had been down for a while tonight.)
Quickly typing my post in, just in case it goes down again.
@Reika - Whoa!! You really start our new year with BANG!!
@Azura Elric - Nice siggie!!
@seventh_sky - Hope you feel better soon!!
@Jade Alchemist - Thanks for being understanding!! Hope you had great Chanukkah!!
It's nice to see everyone being nice to each other in this thread..
Makes me happy to be here.

Thanks ... my holiday was pretty sweet, i actually got the first 3 FMA dvd's, not that i haven't seen them already of course
and i agree "It's nice to see everyone being nice to each other in this thread.." - that's a lot of the reason i joined the forum in the first place... it's good to be able to share opinions and thoughts about similar interests all on one thread with ppl. who u may not know, but are still open to what you have to say...
-- unless u say something stupid, then u have to leave, hahaha

@ Reika: that should be Rated NC-17 VERY kewl though... Pervy Reika ;;;; *glomps*

@tombow: haha, I usually don't draw things like this XD
@kyo_Umerio: lol, it's rated as Mature, aren't they the same? And I'm not a pervert! T0T XD

Here is my translation of the last part of fan-manga posted by rex.
(Thanks again, rex!!)
As usual, alternate translations and addional info are always welcome!!



Top panels:
Kain: "Excuse me. " " Ah.."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kain: "Lieutenant, you are here. Warrant Officer Falman was looking for you."
Riza: "I see. Thank you."
"Kain: "Ah?.."


Middle panel:
Kain: "Colonel, did you eat something? You have something on your lips!
Roy: "..."
Kain: "Ah!! Lieutenant also!! Your lipcolor is wearing off!"
Riza: "..."


Bottom panels:
Kain: "You two had lunch just a while ago!! Hehe, snacking again?"
Riza: "Um.. It's.."
Havoc: (Hehe..)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(All of the above is, actually, Hughes describing a scene...)
Hughes: "Like that!! Haven't you had any such thrilling happenings??"
("Tell me!! Thrill me!!")
Roy: "Go back to Central!!"

Kain: "(Lieutenant Hawkeye,) Have you?"
Havoc: "Well, let's see..."
Riza: "NOT A CHANCE!!"


Haha, this one tricked me to think the scene in the top and middle panels was actually happening!! XDD Cute!!

I'll get to the translations of lovely Royai romance fan-comics posted by Azura Elric next!!

Thanks for posting here all these New Year pics everyone!

I like your drawing sis! Roy and Riza know how to celebrate the New Year!

Tombow: Thanks a lot for for all the translations! That's so kind!

haha, it's just like Hughes to bug Roy... ah the good old days

Haha, thank you for the translation Tombow! And I agree with Jade Alchemist and Tombow, it's nice to be on a thread where everyone is nice ^^ It's a nice change from some of the other threads >_>

Ok... Another christmas pressent, well, actually it's some Gaiden I just finished painting for my Doujinshi (heh, I'll do some advertisement also XDDD it's royai, ofcourse!), but since it's placed on a christmas party and all... well, here's the link to page 1, the other two are linked to this one on DA ^^:

Nice comic Sis. It's so funny. Poor Roy.
And I saw it! That picture. I don't care if you don't let me I saw it already. *dances away from you*
(I don't think you're a perv. ^^)

Tombow, that comic actually made me laugh out loud. And my mom was behind me too. Thanks for the translation anywayz.

Thank you Jade! (I just feel like it's right to say it ................)

seventh_sky: It's okay if it's simple. I just wanna see it first. ^^

lmfao that is hilarious anyways i know you arn't a perv i was teasing *hugs* ..... besides.... i looked at it like... 5 times

Gahaha!! That's so funny!! XDD Nice job!! Thanks, Reika!!
Hughes laughing out loud on the floor, poor Roy, but sooo funny!!

Ok, here are my translations of first two strips of Royai manga posted by Azura Elric.
(Thanks again Azura Elric for bringing those!!)
Note: Contains some non-literal translations, with a dash of artistic liberty to convey the essence of conversations. (I might yet change/edit some of the wordings later.)
As usual, alternate translations and additional info are always welcome!!

[FFManga1]


"Anime Final Episode - Royai Fantasy"
(I'm assuming this takes place right after the final episode of FMA anime, and Roy and Riza seem to be food shopping in the market.)

Shopkeeper: "Shopping with your husband?? How sweet~"
Riza: "Heh?..."
Shopkeeper: "Oh. Aren't married yet?"
Roy: (Hahaha.) "SOON."
Riza to Roy: "Wait a... What kind of nonesense are you bumbling??!!!"


[FFManga2]

Roy: "Lieutenant..."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Roy: "Are you still mad at me?"
Riza: "..."


Middle panels:
Riza: "No. Not like that." "I'm not mad."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Riza: "It's just that.."
Roy: "Just..??"


Bottom panels
Riza: "I was little surprized. That's all."
(Story continues to the next comic...)



Hehe, it's so full of Royai!! The love in the air between the two gets more heated up as the story progresses... You have to wait and see!!

I will post translations of the next piece(s) later!!

@SsleepyAlly: I'm NOT responsible if you parents go after me! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
@Kyo_Umerio: haha, I know *hugs back* thanks ^^
@Tombow: Thank you! I'm glad you like it xD And thanks for the translation, I wish I knew as much japanese as you! T^T (I would be able to read the novels I got T_T)

^^ You're so welcome!! Yes, I liked "pantsless" Roy very much!!

Oh, the novel!! I haven't had time to read it yet!! T_T
