I like the 2003 anime more, but the general is one of the greatest things about Brotherhood. Also Winry. The 2003 anime did nothing with Winry, it was a shame. 

My jaw just hit the floor drosophila!

Off topic!

What about Greed and Ling Yao and the ending and so much more!?

I'm actually not a huge fan of Winry, though I admit she's much better in Brotherhood.

I don't think I've ever hated a video game character but I like a heck of a lot of them. I think liking a character makes more sense than hating them, honestly. Hate is just....way too strong an emotion for me to have for a video game character. That's me though, not knocking anyone who seriously hates a character. You do you. 

 

The beauty of Solas being a not real person is that though his plan is awful, you can explore and see every aspect of his personality and know that he isn't truly an evil person. That makes him incredibly interesting, and makes the idea of hating him so foreign to me. I kind of feel bad for people who can't appreciate that kind of character, because they're always so much fun!

Is it manga psyren? I was going to recommend it to you, then went to double check and saw it was shut down 

Nope, talking about like, a decade ago. When I was originally reading scanlations.

Meh, love and hate are both strong emotions, and I think they both make just as much sense as the other. Although I did notice you used like

Characters can make me laugh, make me cry, make me throw fits, write fanfiction (that was Solas), stalk forum sites (that was Solas), feel really down, feel really happy optimistic, and even change my views on things or open me up to new ideas!

I'm also a terribly empathetic person though and I live vicariously through my fiction XD it's both a gift and a curse!

I know, I know, everyone prefers Brotherhood. No point in getting into an argument, and I think Brotherhood is awesome all on its own, allow me this one off-topic post to explain myself.

Spoiler

Brotherhood has more badass characters, badass battles, better openings, and a happy ending. But the original anime has ALL TEH FEELS, and it explores some very deep topics. 

 

You have a scene where Edward Elric has to kill his mother and watches her slowly die, because she's not actually his mother, it's a monster he created himself by trying to resurrect his mother. Her fake son is bawling with grief, while Ed, her real son has hardened himself so much, he can't shed a single tear. This and so many other incredibly powerful moments. 

 

There is also the theme of accepting your mistakes and doing things to atone for them. I think it was great that in the 2003 anime the homunculi were the product of failed human transmutations gone wrong, and that Ed had to face and correct his mistakes. That's a theme that I hold really dear, and it's also one of the reasons I love Solas' character so much. 

 

Finally, there were the homunculi themselves, which were much more fleshed out as characters in the 2003 anime, and I loved Lust, Wrath, and Greed, not to mention Sloth.

Well I won't argue but

Off topic and FMA spoilers

Spoiler

I agree about the FEELS. Brotherhood was very rushed in the beginning (so it could get to the point where it deviates from FMA). Nina's arc with her psycho father and Hughes's death (I'll never not cry watching that) were probably some of the most emotional scenes I've ever watched in any type of media. And I was very disappointed with how much they rushed it in Brotherhood.

 

Though I think Brotherhood has more Greed, Izumi, and Scar FEELS

 

Also, I like Brotherhood's Sloth so much better 

 

We'll have to agree to disagree about which is better and both come to the conclusion that they are awesome masterpieces of anime and everyone should watch them!

 

General Armstrong still disapproves though!

 

Solas has made me an emotional wreck and I've definitely never reacted as much to a game character as I have with Solas!

[Eivuwan]

I think a weakness in RPG is that it doesn't really allow our characters to express ambivalence in the moment. For example, a powerful scene might be Lavellan feeling that she can only stop Solas by killing him, but the knife/weapon stops half-way because she just couldn't do it in the end. How would they implement something like that? Hmm, maybe something like mass effect where you can do a paragon or renegade action when the icon flashes? Or maybe just flashing text that only lasts for a few seconds if you want to stop your current action?

I may have started up DAI to make a new character and instead replayed the end of Trespasser.

That happened to me last time. I did start the new PT afterwards though

I quit afterward since it is pretty late and I'm hoping to progress past this scene I'm still stuck on for no discernible reason.

I may or may not have done this as well. A few times. Actually.

 

The most recent attempt was making a Trevalyan to romance Cullen cause part of me feels bad that he's single in my Lavellan's worldstate.

I will make Cassandra a really great guy to fill her days with romance while still very much appreciating her face and other attributes as a player.  

 

It just might have to happen during the day.

 

Now why am I stuck on two teenagers being affectionate and basically making out?

Some of my characters are very morally ambiguous. I'd hate to have some system keeping score of how many "good" choices I make and how many "bad" ones I do. But I agree that is one of the many issues that RPGs have. RPGs need a lot of headcanoning to get the story how you want it !

Haha, I feel bad for my single characters too! I've played my Lavellan multiple times and replayed her romance scenes waaay too much, but I have yet to romance the vast majority of the single companions in Inquisition! They deserve their chance at happiness too goshdarnit!

That's another person I just don't like being single. Cassandra is like the dream come true best friend for realzzzzz.

 

And Bull too.

 

Sigh.........

Just read the latest Doughnut Rebel chapter and yours, drosophila. I expected soup.

Sorry to disappoint. The soup was removed in the last edit. I've never done as many edits as with this chapter.

Thanks for reading, it means a lot that you endured this

As for DR: man, the feels.

[Cee]

I understand why you would've opted for what you used instead. It flows well.

 

The story I made the most edits to is also one of my favorite ones. Maybe my favorite. Sometimes that's what it takes.

 

DR is very very much feels this time but a good way.

 

I turned off the music. Maybe I should have left it.

[MayriyaNoori]

*looks at the Zevellan chapter just written*

 

Mmm.....I think it might just be cheesey enough to hit post.

 

Writing this stuff makes me feel like half my age and goofy. I'm enjoying it.

[Cee]

Given I'm writing about 16 year olds at the moment, there's definitely fun in the mixed sweet, scary, impulsive, blindsided nature of first love. I never really intended to write about them beyond the one Solavellan story with the flashback, but I enjoyed it.

[MayriyaNoori]

Mmmm....as I said, cheesey and fluffy, but it's Zevellan goodness.

 

I don't really think it's as good as the other stuff I posted so far. But meh. Made me happy I suppose.

I actually think something becomes my favorite chapter, *and then because of that* it gets many edits. There's just this scene that I attach strong feelings to, so that means I really want to get it right and work extra hard to do so. Last time I did this I still wasn't happy with the final result, but this time I am. However it seems to the reader, I'm declaring it: I really like my rivalicious little chapter.

It was a total roller coaster with DR, I didn't expect the chapter going where it did, but I'm so happy! And it was described so well!

Keep the music on

I really loved how....soft? the DR chapter went, like when someone does a stripped-down arrangement of a song. 

 

I understand that too. The story in question for me was one about Nirwen and Nehn and I really loved playing with language in there and also illustrating their personalities a bit, and it got so many edits because I was determined to get it right.

 

I think the ending was once in the middle, and some other part was at the end, and I cut something else entirely. But at one point, when I made the final edit, it just.....clicked. "I did it".

 

It's really fulfilling to truly like something you've done.
