i forget how much this show hurts sometime

2020-12-08 22:40:19 +0000 UTCI hadn't thought about Mustang's connection with rain. That's a great point
Alex G
2020-12-07 23:42:55 +0000 UTCI'll need it
Alex G
2020-12-07 23:42:22 +0000 UTCThat's exactly what I thought... "This father-daughter relationship is a little too good, the daughter is in danger." But no. And yeah that train scene with them reflecting on Hughes as a person is true knife twisting
Alex G
2020-12-07 23:42:09 +0000 UTCHaha we'll see...
Alex G
2020-12-07 23:41:09 +0000 UTCI understand that feeling very well. I was just talking to a good friend about this the other day. My outlook for a long time was the idea that I would try everything and one of those things would probably work out in a big way. The potential cost of that though is specialization, and what that plan misses is the fact that great things often take an insane amount of work and focus. I don't think that doing a lot of things at once and having a lot of interests is bad at all, especially if we enjoy them, but I think the question is can I still do these things well if my focus is split. Maybe it's possible. There's a book that made me question these things that might interest you, it's called "The One Thing" by Papasan. I think one reason why focusing on one thing is a little terrifying is because that might bring the pressure of trying to find the PERFECT thing. But I think whatever you choose to focus on doesn't necessarily have to be permanent, it can just be the best thing you can think to do at any given moment, and that thing can change.

2020-12-07 17:59:14 +0000 UTCR.I.P Maes Hughes man. I was crying for literally hours the first time I watched the original FMA. Such a sweet and caring man, loves his family more than anything and they just have to choose HIM to kill. Really makes you hate the villain's of this show significantly more.

2020-12-07 17:29:54 +0000 UTCi think its something a lotta people who have watched the show know pretty well but mustang is useless in the rain and thats why he said 'its a terrible day for rain' bc he feels useless sigh

2020-12-07 13:05:37 +0000 UTCAh. Rest in peace Maes Hughes. You were the best of them. It rains everytime I watch this episode. Not sure if it's already been said, but the reference to rain is related to Mustang's inability to make flames when it's raining. In other words, he's saying in his own roundabout way that he's feeling helpless and impotent in the face of his best friend's death. Hits me like a truck everytime. See you for the next one :)

2020-12-07 09:16:45 +0000 UTCI'm sooo sorry, you really feel the pain of these losses hard, Hughes was an awesome character I agree

2020-12-07 08:04:40 +0000 UTCOne of the shortcomings of Brotherhood is that it cuts a significant amount of time the Elric brothers spent with Hughes in comparison to the manga, but it still manages to hurt pretty bad regardless. Also, this episode maintains consequences throughout the rest of the series, possibly at moments you may not expect. Good luck buddy.
Duopierce
2020-12-07 07:36:51 +0000 UTCThey just love to twist the knife, don't they? Hughes dying is bad enough, but then having the scene with Ed complaining about him, followed by the funeral? It's just mean. And you don't really see it coming the first time. You're so worried about his wife and daughter after Nina and Alexander that you don't expect Hughes to be the one to die.

2020-12-07 06:39:45 +0000 UTCYour reactions make me excited for future reactions like 10 episodes away lol. Great analysis as always, and what a heartbreaking episode. That was the second of two most gut-wrenching plot points of FMA though, so from here onward things won't be as heartbreaking (probably).
Say
2020-12-07 05:58:34 +0000 UTCIt's a terrible day for rain...
ComicalSkate
2020-12-07 05:29:20 +0000 UTCYo how dare you hit me with this good news so abruptly?
MikeWest
2020-12-07 04:57:47 +0000 UTCWow, your perspective on people who specialize in (or at least obsess over) one particular hobby/passion was awesome to hear. I've felt internal pressure lately to start investing myself in multiple passions at once (drawing, music, writing, videos, etc) to feel adequate. You definitely gave me something to think about.
Brennan Regnier
2020-12-07 04:54:07 +0000 UTCThe Nina episode is horrifying. This one is.... heartbreaking. This episode is incredible though. It's such a good setup. Hughes is built up as such a wonderful and lovable character and losing him hurt. But the scenes at his grave... oh man. It really is a horrible day for rain.

2020-12-07 04:41:19 +0000 UTCoh fuck oh fuck oh fuck my heart sank when she asked him to come home early, i had to go check to make sure this was the episode i was thinking of and it is it might rain when i get there tbh edit: fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk all the feels everything hurts ;-;

2020-12-07 04:32:19 +0000 UTCI forgot this happened so early 😭
Emma Root
2020-12-07 04:19:56 +0000 UTCI was not only looking forward to this episode, but I also really needed some distraction, so thanks! :) You chose a good week :P

2020-12-07 04:07:01 +0000 UTCIt's gonna take me a while to get through this one...
R'Mani Leavell
2020-12-07 04:06:11 +0000 UTCThe goal is to get Patreon 1 week ahead on both shows. YouTube will stay the same, but this week on Patreon there will be 3 episodes of Dragon Prince and 6 episodes of FMAB. Next week there will be 6 of DP and 3 of FMAB.
Alex G
2020-12-07 04:01:08 +0000 UTCAwesome, I'm glad. Good luck with the rehearsals!
Alex G
2020-12-07 04:00:10 +0000 UTCSo you're gonna do an episode of each show every day (except Sunday)? This refers to YouTube of course.
Ana Andrade
2020-12-07 03:53:06 +0000 UTC...oh boy here we go. Edit: on a side note seriously thank you for the extra FMAB this week. I have stressful play rehearsals so unwinding with this is really nice
