Wonder List

recognizing a writer’s writing style is so intimate actually

Human, talking about their day: Oh, and little Timmy had a rough day and bit Derek in two. The rest of the kids couldn't decide whether to try to put him back together or have a funeral. Alien: I'm sorry. WHAT. Human: ...Derek's a gluestick. We named them so that the kids would care more about keeping the class items safe. Almost always works.

“FMA is bad because it portrays war criminals as sympathetic, likable people” bro that’s the point. That’s the whole point. That is THE point. Did you think Ethnic Cleanser is some kind of special category of person that gets separated away from all the Good People at birth? Did you think there’s some kind of barn full of Genocide Doers that only gets deployed into the general public during world wars? Did you think assholes who do terrible shit in real life are never charming or likable or capable of doing good things and helping people? One of the best parts of FMA is how we the audience realize that some of our core protags have made irredeemable choices, and we have to reckon with the fact that they’re still people, with the unalienable rights and qualities thereof. Sorry if the Problematics aren’t constantly wearing a dunce cap and a list of all their crimes and this makes the media incomprehensible to you  

ok…!
