Aww, what a cute Riza! Honestly, she´s so adorable, showing that picture to her father
Also, background. It´s a simple one, but works really well!
And is it just me or does Riza really look a lot like Link from Phantom Hourglass in that outfit?

This is adorable. I also love the detail in the background and the texture in the crayon drawing. The crayon texture looks very authentic. Ickle!Riza is precious and I love Berthold's shocked eyes. I love the color of his eyes.

You have a very interesting take on Berthold and Berthold and Riza's relationship. I always pegged him as neglectful and well, rather abusive since he tattooed Riza's back and everything. I can sort of understand his motives, but at the same time, who does something like that to their child?

As for Berthold being neglectful, it seemed like he cared more about his research than he did about Riza. Maybe that's an overdone fan theory and this fandom's filled with too Berthold haters, but I latched onto that theory since he sort of seemed like a "mad alchemist" so to speak. So, yeah, I guess I didn't that he and Riza were close, but perhaps that's just too fandom influenced.

kasuria In reply to Eve-Francesca [2011-06-19 04:31:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

And yeah, I used to actually have that take too. I thought as first he forced Riza to get get that tattoo, but now I don't think that's the case. I think Riza agreed to it. And I think Berthold felt bad about it. Someone actually translated all the words on the tattoo and a part of it was a poem that actually was an apology that Berthold had put on, most likely for tattooing Riza. As for the "mad alchemist" thing, I think that's what makes them estranged, but not in a bad relationship. Riza says when she's pointing a gun to Roy that flame alchemy "leads good men to madness". Since it's plural, she's probably also referring to her father. I think she was frightened with how obsessed he was with alchemy, and not because of how he hurt her. Also, for Riza to take on and protect his life research, it shows some closeness on her part as well. But like I said, I don't think they were super close obviously, but I don't think they had a terrible relationship either

Sorry for that long explanation

Eve-Francesca In reply to kasuria [2011-06-19 05:05:53 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!

Yeah, I guess I was rather quick to make that assumption because it seemed reasonable and because I kind of have a crappy dad. Whenever I see possible strong signs of negativity in a fictional character who's a father, I tend to assume the worst about them. >.< It's horrible, I know, but I feel for girls who don't have fathers who are adoring and protective in the traditional sense. It doesn't matter whether the girl is fictional or real. So, yep, I get "defensive" about that pretty easily because I've been there, done that, and could write a book about it if I wanted to.

You have a good point about Riza agreeing to the tattoo. How old do you think she was when she agreed to getting that tattoo done? Do you think she understood everything that that would entail as well as the severity behind it? I was unaware of the apology poem. It's so cool that someone translated the words and discovered that. That's actually very sweet of Berthold! I can see why you think Riza was talking about her father as well as Roy when she was pointing her gun at Roy. It's interesting that you think Riza's fear of her father had to do with his obsession with flame alchemy as opposed to the tattoo. I can see why you'd think that.

"Also, for Riza to take on and protect his life research, it shows some closeness on her part as well." You're right. It does. Do you think that Riza wanted to protect his research out of a desire for his approval? Or do you think she felt fairly loved and validated by him and just protected it because she felt that it was her legacy in a way?

kasuria In reply to Eve-Francesca [2011-06-19 05:21:57 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry to hear about your dad I can understand them why you may jump to conclusions.

I think she was about ten or eleven, because when Berthold was talking to Roy he said he completed his research years ago. I don't think she had a full grasp on the situation though. I think she did it because she wanted to be important to her father and to help him, since she's a little girl wanting to be important in her father's life. She'd find out the real severity of it after she gave the research to Roy and entered the Ishval War. Yeah, and the fact she says "good men" implies that she thought Berthold was a good man until he became so obsessed with flame alchemy that it let him ruin him.

I think it mostly had to do with approval, but also because of the legacy thing. As I said earlier, she'd want to feel important to him. Significant.

Eve-Francesca In reply to kasuria [2011-06-19 07:44:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the sympathy. I'd say that "it's alright," but it's not. Fathers should be loving with their daughters. I'm glad to know that you can understand where I'm coming from with that. I think I did jump to conclusions a little with Berthold and Riza's situation, but I still think part of it was that I thought other people's theories seemed reasonable. I'm good friends with a girl who doesn't like Berthold at all and she has a great relationship with her father. So, I think my own personal issues are only part of the equation. There were some signs that could have pointed to Berthold "not being a good father" as far as theories go.

However, I've come across another show where I don't think I jumped to conclusions and where it's been clear that the fictional father isn't a good one. W.I.T.C.H. is one of them, unfortunately. =/ Sorry if I keep bringing that show up. None of the other shows I watch really have that dynamic since I watch a lot of reality shows. Not the trashy or stupid ones, though.

That was the age that I always guessed. Your reason behind that makes sense. I don't think she had a full grasp on the situation either. Not at that young of an age. "I think she did it because she wanted to be important to her father and to help him, since she's a little girl wanting to be important in her father's life." Exactly. And yeah, it makes sense that she would discover the true severity of it after she gave Berthold's research to Roy. Yep, it does. She has a good point about her father. It seems like she loved him in spite of everything, though. Although, she didn't seem to be crying when she and Roy were standing near Berthold's grave, but maybe that was the stoic part of her personality coming into play. Or she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Roy. Riza's not as shameless about her crying as Winry is. Winry doesn't really stifle her emotions. Not that that's a bad thing per se. It just differs from Riza's personality.

Agreed. Of course she would want to feel significant and important to her father. I can completely relate to Riza in that sense.

You're welcome, even though it's not worth much I hope even though it's not alright with your father, than things in general are alright for you I agree that I can see where fans come from when they think Berthold and Riza's relationship is bad. Like I said, I used to think that too. But just recently from certain text and scenes I've come to think otherwise. I guess it's all a matter of opinion and how deep you're willing to think on it

Yeah, for some reason the show LOST comes to mind when I think of bad fathers. I don't know if you've ever seen it (people either love or hate it, and I happen to love it ) but a lot of characters have a running theme of having disfunctional relationships with their fathers. And there's one in W.I.T.C.H.? I'll have to look out for it. And I can see where you're coming from with reality TV, I happen to find myself liking some of it as well

Actually, Brotherhood cut this out, but Riza was in the scene of her father's death. Berthold was sitting at a desk doing work (not in a bed) and when he was talking to Roy he coughed blood and slammed his head on his desk. Roy started freaking out and calling for help and than he noticed Riza standing in the doorway, looking really afraid gripping the door she opened as she stares at him and her now dead father. I don't think she'd cry about her father's death, though, because even thought she didn't hate him like I said they were estranged. I don't think she wasn't sad about it of course.

Yeah, I think a lot of people can relate to that statement of a child wanting to feel important to their parent(s).

Eve-Francesca In reply to kasuria [2011-06-23 05:33:22 +0000 UTC]

It's still very sweet. I appreciate your sympathy. Things are up and down with my father. Sometimes I'm alright with him and other times I'm not. It all depends on how he acts and how he treats me and Hayden. Things are going very well for me in general right now. I hope that your life is going well, too. Yeah. I get where they're coming from as well, but you successfully changed my mind. It's pretty hard to fight the evidence that you've given me about their father-daughter relationship not being completely horrible. I agree that it's all a matter of opinion as well as how much time a person would want to devote to that topic.

I haven't seen LOST, but I've heard of it before. I don't have much of an opinion on it other than it looked somewhat interesting. And very dramatic. It's sad that a lot of the characters in that show had dysfunctional relationships with their fathers. Yeah, W.I.T.C.H. shows that concept, too. Will has a neglectful father who doesn't care all that much about her. Or, at least, he doesn't know how to show it properly. That's actually one of the reasons why she's my favorite character. I can relate to her on a very deep level when it comes to that.
Lol. Reality television can be a bit of a guilty pleasure. Which reality shows do you like?

Oh, wow! The scene of Berthold's death is much different in canon than it was in Brotherhood. I can see why Riza's scared expression hints that she had some sort of closeness to him. You have a good point about why she didn't cry. Their estrangement would factor into that. I also think that she was sad. A person can still be sad about something even if they don't cry.

I think so, too. We admire our parents a lot, so of course we would want their approval.

I'm glad to hear things are okay for you in general now And thing's are going well in my life too, thank you I'm glad you were open about it And totally. It just so happens that I find Riza and Berthold's relationship interesting enough to look into it deeply

It's a really good show. I'd recommend it if you have the time. What makes the show is the characters. The characters are extremely well developed and interesting I can understand that. A lot of people end up liking certain characters that they feel they can relate to in some way

Oh man, I know And do 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom count as reality TV? Cause thouse are my favorite

Yeah, I'm not really sure why Brotherhood felt the need to change it. As I said before, they messed up a lot of Ishval stuff. Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, look at someone like Ed. Ed doesn't cry throughout the whole story except for one point in the end, but there were many times where he was sad and could have cried.

And exactly.

Thank you. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you, too. Well, I'm a pretty open-minded person overall. I'm closed-minded about some topics, but aren't we all? I think that's awesome! Analyzing different fictional relationships can be a lot of fun. ^^ I'm glad that you helped me look at their relationship from another perspective and in a deeper way than I had been before.

I'll be sure to add it to my list of shows to watch. I still have to finish Brotherhood when the last of set of DVDs is released in August and I'd also like to finish watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. Then I think I'll watch both One Piece and LOST. I think it's great that LOST has well developed and interesting characters. Yeah, totally! That's usually what happens with me. I tend to like the characters I can relate to the most.

Yes, 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom count as reality TV. The reality shows that I like are Cake Boss and Say Yes to the Dress on The Learning Channel (or TLC). Man v.s. Food Nation on the Travel Channel is also a guilty pleasure for me.

That's odd. I don't understand that either. There's not much of a point in changing scenes like that. Yeah, there are plenty of times when it's clear that Ed is sad, but he doesn't outwardly express it. I can sort of relate to Ed in that sense. I mean, I cry when I feel the need to, but there are a lot of people who cry over books or films or shows, and it's pretty hard for me to cry over fiction. I think, although I adore fiction, I'm able to put it into perspective in the back of my mind when I'm watching or reading something. Hence why I can't actually cry. My eyes may feel heavy and I'll have an intense internal reaction, but nothing actually comes out.

I totally can't wait to get my hands on the English dub of the last season of Brotherhood! I prefer the dub of it over the sub And Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my fav shows! I watched the whole series recently with a friend. So good Yeah, you should totally watch LOST. It's awesome for the characters And do you like One Piece? Or have you just never seen it before and plan to watch it?

Oh, I've heard of those. I don't know what Say Yes to the Dress is about, but I've seen the other two before

Yeah, I guess that can be said about most animes and manga, though. They usually change or add or cut little things. Really? I'm so the opposite I get emotional when I see or read things and cry a lot. It's pretty bad But I feel like Ed not crying especially has a purpose. And that Winry "cries for him".

That's awesome! It's good to know that you're open-minded as well. So do I. Discussing different fandoms is just good fun. It can often be insightful, too. ^^

I can't wait to get the English dub of the last season of Brotherhood either! I'll be receiving it in the mail!! I'm relieved to know that you prefer the dubbed version of Brotherhood to the sub. I figured this topic would come up eventually and I worried that you were perhaps another dub basher. It's not because of anything you said. You didn't give me a negative impression or anything. It's just because there seem to be a lot of dub bashers online. =/ So, yes, to know that you feel positively about the dub makes me happy. I also prefer the dubbed version over the sub. Colleen Clinkenbeard's voice is much more fitting for Riza's character, and she does a great job in that role. I'm excited to see some certain Roy/Riza scenes in the dub. I'm sure that Colleen and Travis have done an awesome job with those intense scenes in episode 54.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is awesome! It's one of my favorite cartoons as well. Ooh! I bet you and your friend had fun watching the entire series together. I'll be sure to watch LOST and tell you what I think. I've seen the first two episodes of One Piece. My best friend Zima (~SailorStarRunner ) loves it and has told me quite a bit about it on multiple occasions. It seems really interesting and I like what I've seen of it so far, so I want to continue watching it.

What did you think of Cake Boss when you saw it? I've seen a few episodes of both Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant and liked both shows. I feel so bad for those girls, though. =/ They really have it rough.

That's true. They do. It's all a part of the adaptation process, I guess. It's fine that you're the opposite and that you cry a lot when you read or watch something. I *wish* I could be that way. Even though I don't cry over fiction, I still get emotional about it. I get filled with emotion on the inside and get fairly close to crying. Fiction moves me, that's for sure. I just wish that the stinkin' tears would fall out of my eyes for once! Yeah, Ed not crying does have a purpose. I think Ed is convinced that he needs to "be strong" so to speak. I love that Winry cries for Ed. I was just saying that sometimes I feel like I can relate to Ed because I've met quite a few girls who are far more weepy and emotional than I am.

Same here.

Awesome! Which website did you order your set of DVDs from? I bought mine off of RightStuf. That's cool. Everyone has their preferences when it comes to the dubs versus subs issue. I prefer the dub for the same reason. I can also get a better sense of the characters' emotions in dubs as well because that version of the show is actually in my native language. And it's easier for me to analyze the subtleties in the voice actor's tones and such because I love dissecting subtleties like that. And I like the human voice. I'm a dork. Yeah, she does! Her voice sounds great and she's very talented. Same here! I'm itching to see that scene! I love that smiley, by the way.

It really is. It's very well written and I love all of the characters. I'm a big fan of Katara for obvious reasons. Great! Sure. I'll be sure to tell you what I think of One Piece.

Cool! I'm glad. There are some people who don't like Buddy Valastro (or the "Cake Boss") because they think he's too harsh. My mom and I almost met him in person once when he came to Denver during his tour. He may have that New Jersey air of brutal honesty/harshness, but he's very genuine and sweet and his heart really is in the right place. I am, too. Reality TV can be fun, that's for sure.

I still wish I did, though. I'll be so mad at myself if I don't cry during the last few episodes of the show. I want to cry, which sounds weird, but it's the truth. I'd like for my sappy emotions to actually come out. Yeah, you're right. Everyone's different in that regard. So do I! Ed and Winry have an awesome relationship.

My mom bought me the first four seasons of the dub off of Amazon as a birthday gift. She got an awesome deal on them through Amazon! RightStuf is an anime website. They sell DVD box sets, manga, and anime related merchandise. Exactly! That's one of the many benefits of dubs. Yep!

Yes, they are. All of the characters really are great. I do enjoy Sokka's character, which is odd because he's rather sexist at times. I think I have an easier time with seeing a sexist character in a television show because it's fiction. I'm generally able to put it into perspective. There's that, and there's also the matter that Sokka is so lovable that I can put that trait of his aside. Also, whenever he acts that way Katara gets in his face about it. So that's good, too. And it makes for good humor.

Yeah. We weren't able to stand in the long line to meet him for that much time because it was a Monday night and my mom had to work the next day. We were going to meet him at first, but then decided against it. =/ It's a shame that we didn't get to officially meet Buddy, but we walked past him on the way out of the theater and were like, feet away from him, so that was really cool. I don't like judging people on TV either. I've always really liked Buddy, so I can't bring myself to judge him for his flaws. Besides, we all have flaws.

Aww. Did you have something to help you feel better afterwards? One thing I always do when I watch the dubbed episodes is that I make sure I have some sort of snack. Like chocolate. I'd suggest that you do something similar if you think it'll work for you and not be too distracting. I'm sure I'll be stuffing my face with chocolate while I'm watching the last few episodes. And I'll have a box of tissues just in case. Heh. I'm glad you understand that and that it didn't seem weird when I said that.

It really is. Come to think of it, I probably should've ordered the fifth season off of Amazon like I did with the other seasons, but I felt hesitant to do that because in the section where it specifies the language of the show, it states that the episodes are in Japanese. It doesn't list Japanese as well as English. I don't doubt that Amazon is going to get the same product as RightStuf, and that the boxed sets from both sites will have the episodes in both languages, but I was skeptical when I saw that Amazon wasn't updating their information to reflect that the episodes would also be in English. So I went ahead and purchased it for a more expensive price on RightStuf. 'Cause that site specified the right info.

It is a cool site. They have great deals on FMA merchandise.

Yeah. He is. You have a great point about Sokka. We really see how much he grows and changes throughout the series. I feel like Suki changed him. So did the whole fiasco with Yue. =/ Yeah, he is! I love Suki for that reason!

They do. Especially when someone's as popular as he is. It would! I would love to meet a famous person someday. ^^ Yep.

Same here. I love watching character development occur in shows. It's realistic, deep, and awesome. What was I right about in your opinion? That Suki is fantastically badass? Or that Sokka's situation with Yue ended up changing him?

It's going to be very, very bittersweet for me, that's for sure. -sighs and holds back her tears at the thought of it- Oh! Are they the Tostitos chips that are bowl-shaped and that can be dipped in salsa? I think those are called Tostitos Dips or something along those lines. Well, I have a big sweet tooth, so I always make sure that I eat some sort of chocolate or sugary food while I'm watching the episodes. Doing that also helps during the scenes that inevitably make me emotional. That way I can drown my emotions in sugar. So, yeah, either chocolate, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, pudding, or some other sort of candy. Also, as weird as this may sound, I've developed the habit of eating Terra Cotta vegetable chips while watching Brotherhood. It became a random and odd ritual a few months ago. And I can't say that I'm a picky eater, so I do enjoy interesting foods such as vegetable chips.

Haha I know the feeling

I think both ended up helping him in his development

Haha. I'm not alone then.

Oh! Okay. Now I know what you mean. Yes, both factors aided Sokka in his development. Now I wanna watch episodes of ATLA. ^^

Those are good. I like them. Especially with salsa. Yep, it is! I need something crunchy, too, so that's why I go for the vegetable chips. Or those baked Lays chips. Haha! Sorry for giving you an ice cream craving. That's okay. We're all different when it comes to food. Just because I'm bold and adventurous with food doesn't mean that everyone is. My brother's also a picky eater. He hates most vegetables and fruit and will only eat certain foods.

That sounds like a great idea. I'll have to do the same thing when I get home from volunteering at temple tomorrow. It'll be a good way to stay off my feet and relax since I broke my toe last night. Hmm. I have episodes that I enjoy in the first season as well as the second. In the first season, I really love the episodes about Yue and Sokka and basically the entire end of that season. Those episodes were very deep and meaningful as well as gripping. They made me feel bad for Sokka, but as we've discussed, he developed because of his hardships during that time. I also like the episode that delves into Zuko's backstory. It made me sympathize for him.

As for the second season, I ADORE the episode "The Dessert" where Sokka is tripping on that cactus juice. The following episodes in Ba Sing Se are great, too. Oh, I like the last Jet-centric episode, too. It was depressing, but again, it tugged on my heartstrings and left an impact.

Oh no! How did you break your toe? Ohh, yeah, I love those episodes a ton! Most of my favorites are in the third season. I love the dragon episode, and the Sokka's master episode come to mind. Oh, and the dance party one! Along with many others ATLA just has too many good episodes :gigggle:

I know! I was surprised that they killed jet off, but the way they did it was well done and rather sad I liked it a lot, though

I accidentally banged my foot against the hard leg of a couch with a lot of force. I still have to watch the third season, so I have yet to see those episodes. They all sound great, though, so I can't wait to see them! Especially the dance party episode. That sounds like a lot of fun. Yes, it does. ATLA is just awesome.

I was shocked by that, too. I think that Jet's death was well written and sad as well.

Oh, ow O.o That sounds really painful! I hope you get better soon

I, you'll love them all, the third season is my favorite

Yeah, it really was

Eve-Francesca In reply to kasuria [2011-07-12 03:16:34 +0000 UTC]

It was really painful. I went to the doctor today and she made sure that my foot was x-rayed, which confirmed the break. Before that, we were just going off of my mom's educated guess. Now my little toe is taped to the one next to it. It feels really weird. At least I'm up walking a little more now. Thanks! I hope I get better soon, too. The timing of when I broke my toe is just not great at all since I'm leaving so soon. -sighs-

I'm sure that I will. I'll have to make some time to watch ATLA tomorrow. I have some things that I need to do first, though.

Yeah.

I bet. I've never broken a bone, but I can only imagine And that does sound weird But I'm glad to hear you have more mobility now And yeah, that timing does suck. Hopefully it'll be mostly better by then And you're welcome!

Oh, tell me how it goes

You're fortunate that you've never broken a bone. Yeah, it was weird, but now it creates more pain in my toe when the two toes are taped together. So I've stopped doing that. Besides, my condition (as well as the amount of pain that I'm experiencing) improves every day. And the bruising is almost gone. It's not an ugly bright purple anymore. Thanks! It's definitely going to be better by Sunday. I really feel great right now. Well, I feel great physically.

I didn't get to watch it. I've been very busy lately. I'll probably bring my DVDs with me, though, so I can either watch them on the plane or at the airport via my laptop.

Yeah, it sounds rather painful Well, I'm glad though that it keeps getting better And things are always good when your skin isn't bright purple And you're welcome! And that's good to hear

I understand I'm so jealous of you though for having DVDs

Eve-Francesca In reply to kasuria [2011-07-16 21:50:04 +0000 UTC]

It is. Thank you! Yeah, definitely. Thanks again!

Do you not own ATLA on DVD? I'm pretty fortunate to have quite a few DVD boxed sets. I acquired the ATLA ones over a long span of time. Two of the boxed sets were Hanukkah presents, and then I think I bought the second season for myself. Either that or all of them were Hanukkah presents over a span of three years. I can't quite remember at the moment. I'm a little overwhelmed at the prospect of leaving tomorrow--but I'm also excited--and I'm very, VERY tired.

You're welcome!

I unfortunately don't I have to watch it all on the internet. You're lucky to have them They are pretty expensive, though O.o And I bet! You must be very excited! I wish you a safe flight and a fun trip!

Oh, goodness. That is unfortunate. I'm sorry that you have to settle for watching the episodes on the internet. That's better than not being able to watch them at all, however. Thanks for the positive wishes regarding my trip. The trip to Portugal turned out to be a disaster for the most part. I'm planning on sending you a note about it in order to explain it.
