The Dragon in Amestris

So, this is somewhat random, but Inhonoredglory and Toothlesslove have shared some Fullmetal Alchemist/HTTYD crossover stories with me and I really like the concept! They recommended I write one, so I have put this small piece together. If you've seen Fullmetal Alchemist, this might be a fun read! If you've not finished it... it doesn't have any major spoilers, so it's pretty safe. 

Anyway, I hope you like it!

I Can't Afford to Lose You

I've had this quick painting floating around my laptop for months now, but I haven't posted it because the full image is kinda a big SPOILER for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. If you have seen the entire show, I'd be extremely happy for you to check out the full painting... it's probably my favorite moment in the show! If you haven't seen the finale, please don't spoil it for yourself!

New Fullmetal Alchemist Funko Pops!

Well, I about had a heart attack when I saw these! FMAB is by no means a new fandom/franchise, but I only just recently got into it (last year... actually I've been loving this show over a year now!). It climbed the ranks of my favorite stories and now sits as my favorite television series! I had been wondering for an entire year why there were no Funko Pops for such an iconic series, and then just this week I checked online (while I was writing my favorite stories post), and I. Lost. My. Mind! I am so thrilled to finally have a Roy Funko Pop, and I decided to go for all of them since I like the series so much! I'm gonna review all of them on this post, so click the read more if you want to see more photos!

Christmas Cookies

Our family made Christmas cookies a while back, and since some of the ones I made were nerdy, I thought I would post pictures of them here. It's nothing spectacular, but I'm trying to do as much blogging as I can during the break!! I made a Toothless, Sans, Corrin, and Roy Mustang... and I didn't eat any of them!

My Top 15 Favorite Stories (2018 version!)

Well, another year has passed and I've fallen for some new stories! I want to post my current list of top favorites, and I'd be really interested to see any of your lists as well! Some of this will obviously be repeats from my previous post... but there are few fun changes!

The Chimera: Short Story By Toothlesslove

Toothlesslove uploaded her story, so I'm gonna share a link to it here. I'm really thankful for the shirt story, and I really, really enjoyed it! If you are interested, it is pretty much spoiler free concerning FMAB, and it does a great job portraying Hiccup (seriously, Toothlesslove, they should have you hgelping them write the tv series XD).

Here is the link: The Chimera

(Here is my short commentary on the story that I first wrote on the bday post) This story was really, really fun. Beautifully written, excellently paced, and it did a really, really good job at balancing two heroes in the limelight. It featured Hiccup meeting my favorite character from FMAB, Roy Mustang. Honestly, I find it tricky to have heroes meet, especially if they butt heads on certain principles ideas, and to not have it feel like a competition on who is cooler. I also think it is tricky to balance Hiccup against someone so powerful and commanding in combat as Roy, but Toothlesslove did a brilliant job making both of my favorites shine. It really did explore some beautiful themes, and most of all... it felt so, SO in-character. I know she hasn't had the chance to finish the show, so it was shocking to see how accurate the depiction of Roy Mustang was! Seeing him and Hiccup interact in the story felt really genuine, almost like it was canon! Also, man, the way the story ended made me extremely hooked to the notion of this cross-over... because it almost ends on a cliffhanger! I'd love to see more interactions between Hiccup and Roy. It felt so rich, and the storyline screamed potential! Thanks so much, Toothlesslove! I'm sure this took you a ton of time, and I really, really loved it!

Roy Mustang Nendoroid: Review

Welp, I've gotten my third Nendoroid from FMAB! This one is Roy Mustang! He's my favorite character, so I'm very excited to have him. I've also preordered Riza Hawkeye, but she won't arrive until December. Anyway, click more to see more photos and read my short review.

To Be King (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

Ok... I've wanted to write a full-blown analysis post about some aspect of this EXTREMELY theme driven show, but I haven't been brave enough! For one reason, I am super late to the fandom. FMAB started back in 2009, so it is by no means a new series. It is also an extremely well loved and respected anime (as it deserves to be). Add that to the fact that it is over sixty episodes worth of material to analyze, and I honestly worry that my current analysis of the characters will not be a good representation of the show! So... if you love this story and I misrepresent it, please forgive me and don't roast me too badly.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: Nendoroids!

Haha, with all the new HTTYD3 news and Avengers: Infinity War dropping on us this week, it feels weird to be excited about an anime that finished its run in 2010! The hype train for this series left the station waaaaaaay before I got on board! However, FMAB is a truly epic show, and even now it is getting some pretty neat merchandise! I'm going to review the two Nendoroids I bought. This is the first time I've ever purchased a Nendoroid figure, so it was a pretty novel experience!

Happy Single's Awareness Day! (Usertoothless's Favorite Ships)

So, it's that time of year again... a time where my dating friends all wind up spending tons of money, time, and thought to please and impress their significant other. I don't have that problem! So, I'm gonna steal a little time away from all of my lab work and actually post a list of my favorite couples from fiction. Some of these are more canon than others, but all of them are generally accepted in their fandoms, so I'm going for it!

Sketch Dump

I just wanted to drop some of the random sketches and doodles that I've made over the last week or two. Unfortunately, a few of them were for my potential original story... so I don't wanna post them online yet! But, I've got a couple of others. This top one is definitely my favorite, so that's why I'm showing it first! If you wanna see some others, just click the "read more".

Pride Sans (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood / Undertale)

Happy new year everyone! I've got something a little different for you today. Sadly, no HTTYD related stuff, but I will be giving a sort of info dumb on where I am in life at the moment. Aside from that, I do have an art piece that needs explaining (no, I've not joined some sort of Satanic cult, that art piece is basically the sickest final video game boss you could ever meet XP). So, let me dive in.
