The World's Gone Crazy

I told myself that I would do this one day, and dammit, I’ve finally done it!

Don’t ask me why I would crossover ship this.  I think it was a tumblr post I saw once or something.  I don’t know.

Also, the title doesn’t really have anything to do with the story.  I was just listening to this song on repeat while I was writing this and I couldn’t come up with anything else, so I figured, why not?

Day 21- Do you think Maes Hughes is an adorable and loving father or just creepy?

What are you, crazy?

He’s an adorable, loving father!  Just look at all those pictures he carries around and the way he smothers Elysia with love whenever he sees her and draws his gun on the little three year old boys who try to play with her.

…okay, yeah, that last ones a little out there.  I’m still right, though!

Because fuck you, I can SO do two at once!

Here we go.

Day 1- How were you exposed to the phenomenon that is Fullmetal Alchemist?

I don’t know when exactly I first heard of FMA, just that it was sometime during high school when I was getting into Death Note.  The school library had, I think, the first 3 or 4 volumes and I took the first one home with my one day for the weekend.  I’d read the back cover and figured it sounded okay.

I never read it.

I returned it a week or so later and forgot all about it for about two years until one day at Barnes and Noble.  I was browsing the manga section as I’m want to do and found that they had all available volumes of the series (then about 21).  I had some time to kill and needed something to read, so I figured what the hell?

I read the first volume and thought it was pretty good, so the next time I was at Barnes, I read the next two.  From there, every time I was at Barnes or Borders (RIP), I read one or two, or even three if I had the time, volumes until I was finally done with all the printed material and had to read the rest online.  I believe chapter 103 had just come out by that time.

I also started watching the first anime around that time, and later on Brotherhood.  I’ll get into my opinion of them later on.

So yeah, that’s how I found FMA.
