And here I was thinking I was being original! This brainwave thing is getting spooky-ooky. 0_o
I need to look at my scanlations again and see if Xing arrays have a style distinct from Amestris and Ishbal. (Though I don't remember the manga having much about Ishbal alchemy . . . yet. And trying to mesh the manga and the anime seems futile anyway.)
But yeah, I wrote Greedzilla - I wasn't expecting it to be so popular, but I guess there's a lack of young!Greed and olderbrother!Envy in the world.
And it's just plain adorable. ^_^ Envy doesn't get enough fics where he's not fucking Ed, and Greed doesn't get enough fics period.
I would think they would have at least some left, perhaps floating in their bloodstreams
::facepalm:: Of course! Duh!
Unless his carbon-shifting skillz are kind of, I dunnow, inherent to him now that he's past the blobbiness. . . . Though he's still able to regenerate, which really must be a stone-based thing, so you're still right.
but note that Greed's liquefy, which signifies decay to me
Lust's also liquefy, so it's definitely a theme. Your decay idea is sounding mighty appealing. 'Cause where would the liquefied stones go, if they dind't just decay away? It doesn't seem like they'd flow back to Dante or anything useful like that.
Note also that he doesn't know enough about his own shield to push the carbon back into the strong arrangement after Ed shifts it;
Eh. I was under the impression that he could shift it back, and did so when Ed shifted his hand and his side. He just didn't do it quickly enough that last time.
(And oh. my. god. It's just awful that the poor guy can't even die in peace. The seizing and twitching and generally agony are bad enough, but what's really really awful is how Ed keeps screaming at him, and kicks him, even. It makes me want to slap Ed upside the head. Poor, poor, poor Greed!)
add this to the list of "Proof that Greed is distracted by shiny things and doesn't know his own body oh damn there's a smutbunny".
Hee hee! I think he knows his own body well enough when it comes to sex. XD He's just really bored by all that scientific stuff. . . . Not that one couldn't write smut about Greed's scientific ignorance.
I think using up the stones would be a very slow process, drawn out and unpleasant, ending with the eventual loss of all powers and reversion to the original state.
I'm leaning more toward everything being fine and dandy until that last bit gets used up. At that point, everything reverts really suddenly (and messily). Maybe with some weakening and loss of power along the way (their bodies would try to conserve the stones when there's not much left--kind of how your metabolism will switch down if you don't eat enough and your body thinks it's being starved). I have no canon evidence to back this up, though.
Roy would close his eyes or drift to sleep and Kimbley would be in a new place, but Roy was never aware of his movement.
Kimbley would make for some mighty nice nightmares. (Which would be completely unrelated to your nonexistence idea, but it'd still be cool.)
But feel free to work it into anything you've got; it's one of those ideas that can only get better when it's shared. <3
Yay! ::puts it in the hutch with the rest of her plotbunnies::
Sanzo's cracked-out angst.
Oooh. That sounds unfamiliar. Do you have a link?
We should work out a continuity where Kimbley is descended from Hoho-papa in some way.
It's very easy if Hoho-papa fathers Kimbley before falling in love with Trisha.
If he's pre-Envy's descendant, then he'd have both Hoho-papa's and Dante's genetics in him (if distantly), which would make for a nice genetic basis for his alchemy-geek skillz. Except that I don't think that sort of thing would be passed down genetically if Hoho-papa and Dante weren't in their original bodies at the time they had pre-Envy. And it couldn't have been their original bodies, since Envy's real form looks so very much like Hoho-papa's current body, and since Dante was originally a man. . . . Blah.
