Also, "You scum sit back and safely watch the battlefield as if it were some kind of spectator sport. You don't know anything about sacrifice, and yet you're the first to talk about its necessity!" Best line ever, or BEST LINE EVER? Probably my fav Olivier moment in the whole show (tho there's a lot of steep competition, I know, bc Olivier's the best in every second she's on screen). We stan a queen, & don't take a gun to an Olivier sword fight, bc she'll walk away w/ both the sword & the gun!

You've said your favorite FMAB op, but what's your favorite ending song?

Tho you didn't cover the start of the Scar vs Wrath fight in your liveblog of this ep, here's one last gem from your earlier liveblogs that I've been sitting on this whole time, waiting for you to get to this moment: "I wonder who's faster---Bradley and his sword, or that assassin fella and his weird explodey-blood-death animation?" Welp, I guess you're about to find out! XDD

I absolutely love the reveal of Sloth having super speed, bc it actually makes SO much sense. After all, the sin of sloth is only meaningful if you do have great potential, and are actively choosing to waste it. It's like that moment when you find out that Gluttony's a defective Portal of Truth, and you realize why he can never be satiated. In general, Arakawa put so much thought into the Homunculi and how they embody their defining sins, she's a goddamn genius and I love it all so much. <3

oh, and fun fact: you've now met all the Armstrong siblings! From oldest to youngest, they are Olivier, Amue (the one w/ the long curls), Strongine, Alex, and Catherine (she who throws pianos at idiot thieves)!

So would you say that FMAB 36....cemented your feelings about Olivier? XP In all seriousness, I love her forever, and one of my favorite details is that while Riza carries around extra gloves for Roy in case his get wet, Buccaneer has extra Olivier gloves for when she gets THE BLOOD OF HER ENEMIES on them; there's a lot of parallels between them, but that's the most hilarious one to me. XD
