when i forget to log into ao3 and i have to click proceed to see an adult fic, i actually get a kick out of it. like i am an old timey queen and my bard is apologetic: “gentle lady, dicks doth touch in this next ballad. would you prefer another?” and i give him a gesture of command like, “nay, you may proceed, minstrel. bring forth the tale of dicks”
This post is so old I almost forgot why I think “proceed with the tale of dicks” every time I click on it now
imagine how i felt the other day when i tried to get into ao3 on a new device and blithely thought, “ha, i think i saw a tumblr post about this once.”
Man full metal alchemist really uh really did everything attack on titan tried to do but ten times better like uhhhhh ten years earlier. I’m talking the uhh theme of a singular city constantly at war, an oppressive monarchy enforced by military police, daddy issues, dead mothers, powerful kids, the constant air of mystery surrounding the monstrous beings and the implications of a huge conspiracy. It goes without saying it helps that fma isn’t uhhhhhhh written by a hardline nationalist
More importantly: full metal alchemist is actually fun and enjoyable to watch and can have dramatic and emotional impact without resorting to
foolish-identity
