I love Edward,but then I also love Alphonse. I love Roy a lot too,but Roy is only for Riza.

*Coughcoughandmaescough!*



(Is also a RoyAi freak)

Oh yeah I forgot about Hughes,but he's already married

this may b kinda beside da point but episode 49 really helped wid ma R.S ( aka R.e) homeworkand it really helped like issues on anything ever being eqvuilent (memba the very long and i mean VERY long speech Dante/Lrya gave). I understand that ppl got really confused on episode 49 about whether Ed loves Rose. but i think i remember lyra when on her own with Rose saying how she's going to make Ed love her (Dante/Lrya) because she'd be in Rose's body. She didn't say that when Ed was around, she said it on her own with Rose. So i think she knew Ed fancied (maybe not loved) Rose. Did anyone else think episode 49 was confusing? cos i thought it made things more clear..

*but then again- my way n seeing things is very......*thinks* different

XD. I meant with Roy.

Before the marriage thing, of course...

Dante/Lyra was around with Rose in Lior when she (Rose) was known as "The Mother" to the people of Lior. I'm guessing that Dante pretty much came to the conclusion that Ed had a thing for Rose after observing the way he treated her and spoke to her before and after the little skirmish with Wrath and Sloth. It's just her own conclusion, of course, and may not actually be correct. She doesn't know anything about Winry.

Oh yeah I forgot about that too. *looking at a Roy and Hughes picture*

Wow....since when did you have to have the exact same experiences as someone to be able to relate to them?

My personality just happens to be pretty similar to Rose-san in some parts. I'm very naive, and despite various attempts to fix that, am still very naive (It annoys me, but I'm living with it so far). And I know how it feels to have to scrape and cling to whatever hope you can find, which is probably why I don't criticize her too harshly for that. Aside from that....well...I've lost my voice before?

Well, I'm sorry I got it wrong, but pretty much everyone who tell me they relate to a character with a terrible past or something...have a terrible past. That's why I referred to that cuz that was the main and common case when it came to that relating thing when other people told me that. It's not my fault!

Okay, I understand. haha, I think I've lost my voice before too. I was fighting with my childhood friend (he ain't my best friend though) and practically couldn't speak after all our yelling. So you could say me and my childhood friend can relate to Ed and Winry, except I don't like him at all like that but he's already admitted he loved me when I was 6 and he was 5. I've known him since I was 1.

.....He still likes me to this day and I don't at all like him so I feel very awkward around him! We still have our Ed and Winry fights though....though I don't bash him with a wrench....

EdXrose seems like an original. but hey I'm all up for AlXRose.

T_T *Al x anyone other then some random guy makes her heart sink so yeah* XD Rose isn't even in the anime much, but she is pretty cool , she just better keep her hands off someone. *cough* Aru *cough*

but if you think about it, Al's soft heartedness and Rose depressing mood would make for a really comforting couple,

You mean that you only like Alphonse in random Yaoi? o.O Alphonse is so cute that he seems to only be fit for the fluffiest of relationships.

Randomly, has anyone considered Winry/Rose? My hat told me about it, and I thought it seemed really cute.

Now that I think of it... It's not bad! But not as cute as WinryXSciezka! Did you think of DanteXRose, Toby-chan?

haha That came out wrong. //// More like him with his brother. It's like telling inuyasha to sit 18 times over if he is with a girl. << >> << But, yeah I like the Winryx Rose thing.

ScarxRose is also a possibility if ScarxLust doesn't work.

Well, nothing's cuter than WinryxSciezka. I've thought of DantexRose, and I must admit, it's practically canon, but it's clearly not a loving relationship. More like manipulative abuse. And that's just not nice.

Yeah, Grengo, ScarxRose is pretty cool too. But even if he weren't beyond help, they'd be far too angsty of a couple. Really, that much darkness would just drag down a relationship terribly, and they'd end up either fighting, or wallowing in pity. Which is why I think many people like the prospect of Rose with Mason. (Or any other lighthearted character for that matter) Not only has he proved that he can be a good Daddy, but he's just a good optimistic person with a relatively normal life, and the ability to sympathise (Siting his relationship with Izumi) without lingering on negatives too long.

That's why I also started liking Havoc x Rose. My hat is such a genius, I tell ya. ::Pets::

hum...Lust should have killed Scar! But RoseXScar is a possibility?

Ok, I read all of these post and as far as I'm concernd I think Ross and Al (screw age stuff) are a great match. I don't hate anyone but shou and fuher guy (king bradly?) the rest are distaste of somethings/like of others. I liked Rose's hair in the begining. I don't like pink but it looked nice.
Again I state my philosophy on life: Why waste time hating, When you can concentrat on the things you love. As for who ever thinks that they can get with an anime charater, no offence, but your kinda stupid. Anime isn't real and most people know this. Yes I am attracted to Ed but some of his "mannerisums" is what I look for in living guys. (Plus dreams are great for 'being' with anime people!:p)
In my 8 years of psycology a 'shocked' victom can reduce (nothing about small or weak here.) them selves to a state of "Hippisist" or 'hippy' state where they seem druged up. This happens when the pain hurts so badly that they numb up and loss all uncommon reason. This is actuly a simi-heathly state.From here she can laugh, live and in time (think years) can step out into the world again. I belive Ed's kindness towards her and other people is what helps her in her days.
Dante: Very much dislike but I have yet to see an episode with her in it, so no opion can be made. Ed and Rose? I think it was just a human action of kindness mistaken for love by people who should watch hentia if old enough.
I like the fact that Elderberry said she relates to Rose. I knew what she ment the first time. I relate to Ed/Al/Winry/Ross. I'm most like Ed in lots of ways personality wise. Ed/Winry conection is because I flip out too. Their fight scenes remind me of that.Winry because she's an engineer and fun when not working. Ross because of her defence first way of thinking. Al because his kind heart. I'll jump to save anyone, even strangers because with out love i'm just another unhappy jerk who can't stand on my own.
Speaking of standing on own, Rose can be on her own (some victums chose to be far from all contact.) if she wants but her 'dilusion' makes it easier for her to be with people. Co-dependece is a sign of wanting to re-inact with the world.
Ps-Toby-chan: nice avatar, may I have a copy?
Length wise: forgive me.

Damn, Toby-Chan, Havoc/Rose ain't a bad idea either XD

Hmmm, it looked like to me that Roze did find some sort of attraction to Ed. And she didn't seem to deny the fact either. I don't know about Ed though, he doesn't really look interested in anyone but Winry, and that's only becuase they fight so much. So I doubt that they would get together. I like Ed/Roze, just cause it's rare

Rose and Havok don't seem to match up to me. He'd be "iIm going to smoke on the way to work" and she'll be "No smokeing around the kids, take them to school" or something like that.
In a forgers love Ed kinda flirted with Clause in the end he said she was pretty then quickly turned away. It was just a boy thing.
People have natural attractions to others based on biology in a philiosophic-psyciatric way.
English: the scientific point of the whole race (humans) is to reproduce. Especialy if a chick's in "that time", such attrations happen. This explanes why Ed lightly flirts with girls.
The psycological point of this is the "Common human fact is to look for a mate."
The philosiphy part is that no one can "prove" this attraction exist but it does and science knows this.
Ok, I'll shut up now and stop writing long post. Don't want to hurt your eyes!

Yeah.
EdxRose all the way.
WooT.

*Winry throws wrench at you*
You just keep beliving what you want, Just keep beliveing....
*smiles*

I think it's a common belief that Havoc would smoke less if he ended up having a good relationship. (He'd have a reason to not-die-from-cancer for. )
Especially if you're talking HavocxHawkeye. I'm quite certain she'd be very strict about staying healthy, and would enforce his quitting at gunpoint.

But this isn't about that. Off topic, my bad!

Rose and Ed match up less.
Havok and Hawkeye? Havok and Winry maybe. (And this coming from a none boasting EdWin fan.)

If I were to put Rose with someone it would be....hm......Probly Fuery (Kain).
He's a nice sweet guy who'd take care of her and
she could climb all over him in her
"save me" metal state (I'm not picking on her, I swear it!)
and he'd be ok with it enough to help her feel better.
Plus if he's good with dogs, kids aren't far off!
Sorry, I just can't really Picture Rose with too many people. If I felt like it I'd write a fic with her and Lyra. Rose seems like a better lesbian (She was raped by a guy, it'd would fit the story.) then anything else.
Ok, peace. I'm done. ... or am I?

YAY! for RosexEd!

This is a psychology review of RosexEd
"My whole view of Ed's psyciatric state is this:
between 12 to 16 he is a typical male.
he likes travle, outdoors, thinks about girls (clams up when talking to them),ect.


" Psychology states that if RosexEd were to happen, here's the outcome:
Positive: He'd be away 90% of the time, she'd be with kids.
Negative: The Kids would wonder about their dad, Rose and Ed argued way too much about belifes and such, so a religus house hold (which Rose would want) would be imposible (Ed would probly influance alchmey unknowingly), Rose has every reason to hate military (town plundered, raped, ect.)."
This shows that it wouldn't work well for them.

Mind you, Dr. Sigmund Feurd belives Edward is a Restless Gay Insestual so not much can be said on his part.

Dr. Carter states that RosexEd wouldn't work because of religion and priciple differnces. (Read FMA, hasn't seen it.)
Professer John Markerter states that Rose and Ed would be unbalnced, which balnce is a key to any form of relationship. He doesn't think Ed is balanced with anyone. (He's seen/read FMA more then once and concluded this.)

I like Rose,but I hate the EdxRose pairing! EdxRose will never happen!


MOVIE SPOILERS!



In the movie Ed and Rose did not get together and they didn't even see eachother during the movie! We only see Rose with Armstrong in the movie. In a magazine,it said that Rose is only worried for Al.

I agree about what you said . Satsuka

After reading all of these posts, I kind of noticed a pattern. Most of the people who hate Rose here are upset because there was a little RosexEd evidence, when they love EdxWinry..

I think that THOSE people should learn to open their minds just a little more, and learn to respect other's opinions just a tad more.

I'm open-minded, I say I love EdxWinry. RosexEd would be fine, if they really cared about eachother. I'm just saying that you shouldnt bash a perfectly good character just because she's kind of getting in the way of your favorite couple. =/

Personally, I wouldn't want to involved with Rose much at all. I'm more of the strong type of person, and Rose is sort of the opposite. Yet she has to cope with all of her gains and losses. So she deserves to be cut some slack.

[snapback]266657[/snapback]

Open minded?
I am to the point of 'all possiblity' or anything is possible.
Also, I'm more of RoyxEd, or EnvyxEd or some form of Yaio couple then EdWin.
I don't like Rose because that's who I was in a very bad time in my life.
I was whiny, in internal pain, in religious difference (not sure of any religion as truth), And was very clingy.
Rose is that and then some.
Sure it's possible, but who's to say.
Me? You? nope, God?
Sure but only through Arakawa's hands.
Or she could if she really wanted to.
I think it would be possible, if Rose was the way she was when she first met Ed and Al, not after her interal dimise.
Other wise, I'm done.
Love ya all.
EnvyxRoy..Ok, I have to go draw now!

I kinda like the idea of rosexEd, but not as much as AlxRose.
he is the kind of peson who can talk to her when she needs it. I dont hate Rose either. she is a good character. I just feel really bad fr her.

People! Put movie spoilers inside ACTUAL spoiler tags, plzkthx! Some of us don't want it ruined.

Rose fans rejoyce!
Rose finds a perfect life in my fan fiction titled Rose!
Please go read...I won't say who the lucky man is...
Just thought you might want a Rose fic!
*Is going*

I'm moving this from FMA Character Discussion forum to FMA Anime American Audience sub-forum.

I am a very huge Ed/Rose fan (IMO, the pink-haired protagonist is one of the most under-appreciated characters in the show). Ed willingly danced with Rose, as if he thought he would enjoy it. It's strange that Ed was taken by surprise when Rose said it, but when Lyra/Dante said it, he didn't object. It's more than likely that Rose sees Ed as a protector, a savior, and a father figure for her son (traits that women usually see in their ideal lovers). I read in a different thread that it's possible that Lyra had Rose drugged or sedated during the whole ordeal. I feel it's possible that Lyra figured something was going on between the two, and used Rose's feelings to manipulate her. Even had it been mere infatuation, Lyra still could've used that to make Rose confused. Also, remember that when [spoiler]Al used the Philosopher's Stone to revive Ed[/spoiler], Rose stayed behind to wait for Ed to wake up, while Lyra went off. She's also the last person he talked to before he [spoiler]went into the Gate to look for Al[/spoiler], and there could've been some interaction between them that the cameras didn't show. Maybe she gave him a kiss before she left and took Wrath with her.

Hmm... I have a few things to say about this.

Yes, I'm an EdWin fan. Yes, Rose is not really one of my favorite characters in either the manga or anime. But know that this is a rational attempt to counter everything said above, not a psychoactive one.

First of all, the "Ed willingly danced with Rose part":

I didn't really get the impression that Ed danced with her because he thought he would enjoy it. When I saw Ed dance with Rose, his facial expressions all told me that he was thinking, "What the heck??" My thought is that he danced with Rose sorta out of confusion, because a lot was happening at the time (Al getting kidnapped again, military going psycho, you know that kind of stuff). Also, he was probably trying to use that moment to see what was going on with her, because even from afar he could tell that something was wrong.

Second, the "Lyra took advantage of Rose's feelings" part:

Hmm...I must admit that I am pretty doubtful if Rose has feelings for Ed. Sure, she does look to him as a sort of protector, but I think that's about it when it comes to feelings and nothing more. This is further emboldened by one little-bitty part in the movie where she tells Al, "Don't you see, Al? Ed's never coming back." or something along those lines. Compared to Winry, this lack of faith constituted to me that whatever feelings she did have for him wasn't really love.

Third, the "Maybe Rose gave him a kiss or something before she left" part:

Are you sure?? A kiss at that moment seems totally out of place, and...it just doesn't seem to fit there. Also, since when has Edward Elric kissed a girl?

That is all.

The things that 'maybe' happened when the 'camera' wasn't looking are fangirl wishes. I could say, for example, after Winry braids Ed's hair they had some quick loving as Pinako had gone downstairs and Al can't see anything cause he's in a statue.

I have to agree, I don't think Ed really wanted to dance. Rose probably approched him and knowing there had to be something wrong (but also being really confused) he danced with her. He pushed away from her after all once he smelt a rat.

Actually I think you're wrong there. When Ed entered the area where Rose was and she was just dancing and drifting along by herself, he could definitely tell something wasn't right about her. I think he joined in on dancing with her because he was confused and wanted to get down to the bottom line of what happened.

Ed was taken by surprise because he could tell that Rose was under some kind of spell and didn't realize what she was saying to him. It's obvious that he does NOT view her as a lover because he pushed away from her saying that all they were were friends. I'm sure Rose did see Ed as a protector, but he also told her not to count on him to protect her and her people. I don't see how she saw Edward as a father figure to her son just because he caught her baby from thrown to eminent death.


Yeah, Lyra/Dante did have Rose under some kind of spell, but in truth I think Dante was so desperate to be with Hohenhiem that she would have used one his sons to her own advantage. Rose didn't have a clue as to what was going on and she ran away from Edward once she heard her baby crying. Yes, Rose did stay behind, but you're living in a fangirl's dream here. It's no different than the EdxWin shippers saying that from episode 23 when Ed was in the hospital, Ed and Win could have been getting their naughty freak on in the hospital room before going to fix Al or in Episode 26 after Winry was finished tending to his automail they had a little make out session and just like Chiyo said about episode 45 when Winry braids his hair, they all could have went out of the room and Ed and Win could have gotten their freak on there as well. Besides that, why would Ed kiss Rose while they were down there when he was already distraught over Al being gone and preoccupied with bringing him back? Like I said, I think you're just fantasizing.

Hmm.....i have to say, i do agree that Edward danced with Rose willingly. Granted she may have induced it, but still, Edward seemed, despite being taken aback, to be enjoying it. And just because Edward has had his sight set on other things doesn't mean that he cant have some sort of feelings for Rose. Remember, he's a sixteen year old boy. I like Rose, and i think she's a wonderful character. But i think how she has seen Edward recently, how he inspired her to move on from Kane and how protective he's been of her has clouded her head, and she seems to be following her heart.

But then again, her being all drugged up thanks to Dante could be considered a major factor in it. It could be affecting the way she thinks and amplifying her feelings for Edward from a simple crush and admiration to thoughts of love. Rose sees Edward as someone who can take care of her and her baby. I kinda wish Edward was able to come back to his world, you never know, Dante's drug may have re-opened Rose's ability to love again, and her small infatuation could turn into something more. It would be nice to see Edward end up happy with someone, he deserves it after everything he's been through, but alas, we shall never know. Still, i like to think he's ended up with the Winry in the London world ^^ Winry after all does love him more than anything, and it took some amount of bravery to let him go like that. But, as was said, its all just fantasies ^^

I haven't forgotten. I never will. Have faith.

i agree EdxRose is evil EdxWinry is the best :)

Lols, found this thread on Google.

Just recently rewatched FMA with my husband, just finished last few episodes last night. Well, I rewatched it with an objective view and I think that while Winry loves him and he loves Winry, it is quite honestly something that could go either way (say Winry found someone else, I believe she would still have some feelings for Ed and vice versa, but that they could deal with being like sister/brother) Alphonse also loves Winry too and while they don't have the same chemistry it could've always ended up Alphonse x Winry if Ed wasn't in the picture.

I also do believe he was infatuated with Rose a bit as well, and she with him, as Dante pretty much mentioned. Nai-chan pretty much summed it up though- we will never know if and who he ended up with.

Un-objectively, I support Rose x Edward which is unusual for me because usually I'm a rabid fangirl of the main couples. I guess it's because Rose was the first girl I saw and for whatever reason I felt that Ed showed all the signs of liking her. They did not have much time together but did develop a bond quickly.

(Hi.. I'm new.. But gotta start somewhere, right? )

Me? I thought that the fangirls got in it somehow and it wouldn't surprise me if Rose was Sakura in disguise. coughcoughpinkhaircough. When I saw Rose DANCING with Ed, I was like, huh? That girl looks like she's braindead (although she has good excuse to be). She must be controlled be someone or something, or hypnotized. Therefore I did not take the hints of RoseXEd very seriously. My first impressions on how Dante paired them up was that she was completely mistaken. As simple as that. Besides, Ed is one of the most bachelor-like characters I've seen on anime. His chances of romance just aren't that strong.
