Heh, I could see Greed and Kimblee "getting along".
Archer is less human than the homunculi? You mean when he was a cyborg or before alread?

Archer was pretty creepy...(chimeras seemed to turn him on)
Kimbley was just plain cool (only he could pull off that variation of the mullet)...and Greed was equally kakkoi (thats why they can get along..)

(My post got deleted. -.- I remember praising blueices for naming these pairings though. )

So true.

Yes!! XD Fanfic inspiration right there...

I voted EnvyxWrath.^^ Who was the other person?

Yes! EnvyxEdxAl! I for some reason, haven't noticed this thread yet, wtf? Lol.

The other person who voted EnvyxWrath was Vael. He's the ultimate EnvyxWrath/EnvyxEd fanboy.

And I understand how you could've missed this topic, since it isn't all that popular like say the Hottest Character poll.

I voted for Roy/Hughes because I just love both characters. I probably like Hughes more though But the one I would want to see most is Winry/Riza. Come one, why do you think?

I voted for Roy/Ed. I just love how they interact, and it makes it a very interesting possibility in the fandom for a relationship. I do know the age difference and that they are both male, but I find this all the more dynamic and deep for them as a couple.

Plus, all the fanfics and doujinshi have gotten to me. =)

Mhmm. Have to contact him.^^ Thanks.

From Aileon:

I voted Al/Ed... maybe ppl thinks i'm sick for loving this pairing ^^;;; But I think they're soooo cute together *0* I don't mind if it's incest... or maybe cause it's incest, i like it more than others XDDDD

Agreed!! I like it because it is, myself. And your avatar is so cute!!^__^

*pukes* Yak, that is really nasty. LOL, but pretty funny. lol can you imagine if they were like that? I guess Ed would have to be the chick in the relationship since Al's armor doesn't have any holes. (lol, yes I crossed that line.)

Nice! XD I prefer Al human in the relationship, but if it was pre-ending, then I guess he'd use the lion cloth and his hands, if you know what I mean.

lol... this is just getting raunchy and disturbing...

Eh? The relationship between Al and Ed... well I see it "cuter" when Al isn't in the armour... or at least it's physically cuter then...
Hmm... don't know what I'm saying anymore...

Penguin: I like what you said!

Thank you Kihaku. XP

Plus, I agree with you a lot on the relationship between Ed and Al. I am not one for Elricest, personally. I really see their love as a platonic love. What they have is a brotherly love. I see where people get the idea and I understand but it is not my serving of waffles in the morning.

I think the main reason being is because my sister and I share a very close bond much like the two Elric brothers. If anything happened to us like it did to them, I am sure my sister and I would say and do the same things the brothers did for eachother in the series, all the way to giving up our entire selves for one another. Just because we are close... doesn't mean we love eachother. That is why I see it as a sibling love and nothing more. I know what it is because I experience it. XD

Now, not to say people can't like the coupling. That is the wonders of fandom [ and I say this as a Roy/Ed fan ] and people can go wild all they want. Whee!

I maybe stupid, but what is SHONEN-AI is that the act of homosexuality?

Yes, Shounen-ai is the term for "boy's love". That is what many fangirls [ me among them ] squeel about. Scary, huh?

I personally hate it how people will say two of the opposite together is a turn-on, great, perfect, wonderful, hot, etc.; yet when it comes to two of the same gender they'll go "that's just wrong." or something of the like. Basically, people who support homosexual relationships of the opposite gender, yet are against those of the same. Thinking it's "nasty", "I'd don't like it", etc is fine but just...that is...no. I hate that.

That little bit aside, which I may delete in the future...XD. Hmm...I wonder if Ed would be on the bottom in EdxAl, or Wrath on top for EnvyxWrath. Though technically, that's condradicting, since the person who comes first is on top but I think you get my point...^_^;;

Go shounen/shoujo-ai!!!^^ (If you're wondering, I happen to like both.)

Penguin: Yup! I don't see Ed's and Al's relationship deeper than brotherly love either. i think it's beautiful that way Although I have nothing against the pairing either...

Haste: Like Penguin said, shonen-ai means boy's love, but it doesn't involve anything too intimate.. when it gets to that it's about yaoi.

dragonflame: hmm... Did you mean girls liking shonen-ai but not shoujo-ai and boys liking shoujo-ai and not shonen-ai? Well... I must admit that I like shonen-ai/yaoi much more. I'm okay with shoujo-ai/yuri.. but seeing two girls together (pictured to making more appealing for guys) probably wouldn't be as "wonderful" I don't know yet though.. I'm happy though that you like both Oh.. and yeah... the ukes can rise from the top

Hmm, yes, I also like shonen-ai more than shoujo-ai. i don't really know why... I guess because for me it's more interesting to see boys together, yes.

Ukes on top are even cuter ^^

Yeah... like is there are two uke types, then one has to be on top!
I for some reason like my fav characters to be seme... but sometimes it's cute when seme type are bottom .

I'm the other way around (favorites are usually uke~) but everybody alreadyknew that, me guesses.

But yush, it's fun to see the officially-labeled-uke topping the seme once in a while. X3 Variation's the spice of life afterall.

Buwaha, Roy/Ed owns all. Why aren't there more votes though?

Roy/Ed does own all. Well... at least it owns me~!

^^v Faithful 'R/E shipper' to the end.

Wonder why FMA hasn't got shipper-pairings yet though. I thought it was some kind of hype.

I could say the same~.

By shipping, do you mean like the name 'darkshipping', or something? *pulled out a random YGO one*

I voted for RoyxEd, cause they are the best couple EVER, but, I have to admit, HughesxRoy is starting to grow on me...

@icanflyouch: Yep, I mean those. I thought it was only for game-pairings at first, but then I found out otherwise. Not that I really mind there aren't any shipper-pairings, because they confuse the he** out of me. But still, just wondering.


@Joy: Yay yay, don't be swayed! RE can take them (Hughes/Roy) on any day, woohoo! *puts away pom-poms*

Of course, Roy/Ed is definately still the best, but Hughes/Roy is, I dunno. kinda cute. Roy/Ed will ALWAYS conquer, though.

I voted for Roy/Ed. That' the shit..

I'm not really a person who is interested in homosexual couples. I loathe yaoi(there's some yaoi pairings I support from other anime, but it's hard to explain why I support it). I'm more of a yuri fan, even though I still despise homosexual pairings.

I like Riza/Winry. That's my choice.

@Joy: Yes, Hughes/Roy does have/did have potential and nobody can argue the fact. But like you said, Roy/Ed conquers all! XD


@Joisu: I'm sure RE appreciate your vote! ^^v (Me included X3 - they're leading with 4 votes now)


@aNiMeAzNgUrLLH: Still, your vote's appreciated. To me it's always better than not vote at all. (Maybe you can stand those particular pairings because they're hinted at or are actually canon?)

Shipperpairings for FMA? But if there aren't any.. we could make them up

Hughes/ Roy sooooo has potential! Especially in the early days
In the poll I voted for Roy/Ed though... I like both, but I probably like Hughes/Roy more
aNiMeAzNgUrLLH: You loath yaoi? I admit that I didn't like shonen-ai pirings amongst my favourite chracters who I considered to be totally straight even though all canon shonen-ai/yaoi parings were okay (Now it's a different story..)

Ooooh, you wanna make up shipper-pairings? That'd be fun! I actually tried thinking of something before, but I couldn't come up with anything interesting and/or original. *big sigh* -.-

Roy/Havoc could be smokeshipping... maybe. 8D

And maybe Roy/Ed could be... weldshipping. Ew no, that sounds corny. XD

Sweetshipping for Al/Winry.

Oh man I'm bad at this. XD;;;

Literaly snipping for BarryxFalman!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

I love your ideas! They're way better than my own. I'd like to hear more~ (Or does that mean a whole 'nother thread?)

Riza/Winry... violentshipping maybe?

Envy/Ed could be sadisticshipping.

*sits for hours trying to think of Havoc/Hawkeye* TT-TT

@Omakase Shimasu:Well, I'm a person who's neutral on many things, and I really don't hate any shippings. People can be sexest sometimes(making the females feel low), and so I kind of have this little . . . grudge against guys, and I guess that's what makes me dislike yaoi. Er, well, I do support a few yaoi shippings(from some certain animes) but I just can't help it, that's all. I'm not overobsessed on yaoi/yuri shippings, though. I usually get obsessed on straight shippings. I could care less about hints and canons. And for some odd reason, I sometimes like seeing yuri shippings. xD Stupid me.

@Kihaku: I disliked yaoi, yuri, and incest when I was about 13. Then I've come to learn that it's just the way life is. I think and support about incest sometimes, but it really doesn't interest me as much as yuri or het. It's not that I dislike the yaoi pairing, I'm fine with it. I support whatever I want, they support whatever they want, we don't argue, life is good. The thing is . . . there are some stupid fangirls out there who bash(fangirls who supports RoyEd and hates Winry, I don't hate RoyEd or anything) and gets into other people's business, which is very annoying.

I don't get why the bash. I find it stupid for someone to be wasting their time expressing something they hate, when they could use that time to support what they like.

Ooh... I don't have any good ideas.. *sighs* I have to think of those. and now I'm tired (as if it's anything new)
A new thread? Maybe?

Hmm... EnvyxEd has been classified as sado-ai So yes, sadisticshipping!
And I'm just agreeing with everyone agian. Have to think of my own...
Hey aren't all shippings within the military people generally considered militaryshippings?
But to be more exact...RussellxEd... hotblondshipping (also goes into the general category alchemistshippings= shippings between alchemists )
Actually I would have like to call it idealshipping, but I guess I'd be too biast?

LH: You're right! I like to waste my energy praising all I like instead of saying negative things about those I hate.. Well I don't really hate anything(although yes, some) and am pretty ready for opinions.. so...

Hmm.. interesting. The thing about yaoi/shonen-ai is also that women aren't seen in a "humbled" role. It's one of the guys. So that would be one great thing about it.
Hints and canons... *thinks* are quite important to me. I'd probably have a hard time liking a couple in which I don't see any proper chemistry...

I think a whole different thread for th shippings would be more efficient. I'll start on it tomorrow or manybe the day after since we're having company tomorrow. Or maybe one of you guys can do it in my absence~

Great suggestions so far though! And I can sympathize, icanflyouch. I can't think of anything better than gunshipping. -.- (I thought Havoc had something with guns too?)


@LH: Complete agreement here. It'd be so much better if everybody just respected other people's preferences and wouldn't instigate bash wars with negative comments about a character/pairing or even maybe an aspect of the show they didn't like just to make other people see they shouldn't like it either.


@Kihaku: Hints can be a nice thing, but somehow... I like envisioning characters who don't have much of anything to do with each other, but still trying to form a relationship despite that. Ugh, can't explain very well right now, but... It's more like... I'm envisioning what it would be like if these two characters met and eventually started a relationship, or maybe not. Just letting my imagination run wild.

I can also understand what it feels like to come up dry in such a case and wishing the two had had more hints and stuff. ;; That's annoying. (So I think the RussellxEd pairing was very fortunate in my eyes)

*internet was out for a while*

Well, I don't like bashing persay, but arguing your point is fun.^^ Well, debating anyway. i. e. : Collete is annoying, I hate her. I'm explained why in many a thread at the GameFAQs boards. I have friend there who feels the same way so it's even better.^^

wtf al/ ed???

*looks at poll* You're making me cry..... TT______________TT

Sorry, but you really shouldn't have entered this thread if you knew you'd find it offensive or anything like that. ^^;; (I thought Elricest was pretty popular among the fanbase)

Kase: Ooh.. you never made the thread
I likehinted pairs . I can't really like pairs that don't have any proper chemistry between them. I need to have a reason for a pairing, right?
Even if it is a little hinted there is room for imagination. Actually there always is.
Like with RusellxEd.. *sighs*. That has so much potential.

jessin: It's okay. I know that some couples can be so cute that they make you cry.

random note: My brother came to check what I was doing and caught sight of Roy/Ed He was wondering a little.. it seems like Al/Ed didn't surprise him though .

;; Caught me. I'll get right to it though~

Hints are nice yes, but I also like the freedom to experiment without it aka crack pairings. ^^v

?? I thought -- didn't you say he knew Roy/Ed would be popular-est?

Nah, no hurries

crack pairings.. I think crack pairings are fun! Or at least if I know what you mean by crack pairings... I don't take them "seriously" though and wouldn't become a fan or anything They're just... fun.
Now for pairings I adore/support/like/worship etc. I need some proof.

Yeah, that's what I told him. I think he was more wondering that what on earth I'm thinking . Although I don't think he was so surprised. It's different when you see it there before you.

I kinda already made it. ;;

Crack pairings are basically pairings that don't have any hints. Like (totally random) King Bradley and Ross.... @.@ Ooof~

Aaaa~ It's just too bad the images won't sway your brother to become a shonen-ai fan. He knew it was Roy and Ed in there? I wouldn't have guessed he'd be so familiar with it. I usually can't see the difference between characters when it comes to doujisnhi. ;; Maybe it's the art-style....

Yeah, I say you made the thread! yay!
yeah, I thought crack pairings would be the random ones.. those have been discussed too. Although some could classify Roy/Ed to be one.. or?
If they refuse to see hints...

Oh no.. my rother has't seen any images ... yet. Just the names. but good idea.. I think I could bombard him with some.. I doubt it would help though.. but since he doesn't like Ed or Roy he'd probably be more accepting in terms of the pairing (pretty boys who he doesn't like can be usually considered gay ). Ah, I dislike wasted potential.
Doujinshi art.. well I haven't read that many.. I don't know. I don't think it's difficult to disitinguish the chracters.. but sometimes that happens to me with manga and minor characters.

Yes, shonen-ai pairings could be considered to be crack pairings by most since they can't see or refuse to see the most obvious of hints. Guess crack pairings are biased, since everyone sees these things individually.. different. ;;

Wasted potential - ugh, hate that~ You'll just have to make your brother see! Oooh, so the ones he doesn't like make a cute pair? X3 Roy/Ed! Roy/Ed! Roy/Ed!

Hmm.. I guess shonen-ai pairings are considered crack pairings by those opposed and if the pairings aren't canon. (I mean thos both options together.)
Ah, we all see things differently.. some not at all. That's why more people should open their eyes.

Usually my bro doesn't pair people... well not in anime anyway. But he has that "thing" with seeing certain characters gay. I think though that since he wasn't shocked at all (I'm a little surprised) at Al/Ed.. he might consider that okay...
And since he knew the potential of Roy/Ed that has to mean something..

Hmm... makes me wonder if they mean canon hints or just generally hints. Um, did you really mean 'more people shouldn't' open their eyes instead of should? ;;

Usually men don't take interest in pairings. Guess it's a girl thing. Ever the matchmakers. Uhm? He knows Al and Ed are brothers... and he doesn't find that surprising? Well, considering he's against shonen-ai he might not find it okay.

Oh yes, yes, yes... X3 It definitely means something alright.

Oh drat have to edit my post. I'm really sleepy
Nah.. I'd expect it to mean canon hints.

My brother came to bug me again (how convinient, he chooses the right time ). he pointed to the pairing (Roy/Ed)... Don't know what he meant. My computer just made a noise at that point then he remarked that my comp doesn't like it. (he didn't say that he doesn't though )

Yeah, it's always the girls who're matchmakers.. *sighs*. But I know my brother could think differently. I think it's that he would never mention seriously a shonen-ai pairing that he'd like and he loathes the girl characters in anime, so he won't pair the guys with them.
Yeah, but my bro considers both Al and Ed "suspicious" so I don't think that pairing would be surprising to him. I have to ask him about that..
