Emotional Blows in Entertainment #2

If you missed my previous blog which had #3, hop to it if you would. There are still 150 friends on my tracked list out of 250 that haven't been bansythed. Judging by how much blogs are flooding down the blogs of friends who actually take the time to read and respond to my blogs, I think I need to do some bansything. Think it not as a punishment, but as a means for me to see more of my supportive friend's blogs. Which is more than fair. On to number 2!

This can cover TV shows or video games. So make sure if you've been meaning to watch or play said title, skip this blog in its entirety so you don't get spoilers. Pictures are being included.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Episode 7, "Night of the Chimera's Cry"

At this point, it should be painfully obvious that I have a vital weakspot for little kids and baby girls. Meet Nina and Alexander. Nina is the girl, obviously, and Alexander is the dog.

Meet Nina's father, Shou Tucker. The main characters Edward and Alphonse stayed at his house with his daughter and dog in order to study for the exams to enter the military. Shou Tucker was a loving father and for the most part, a supportive mentor to Edward and Alphonse. Now, as some of you know, Fullmetal Alchemist is all about Alchemy and relationships. Shou Tucker ended up taking care of Nina all by himself since he claimed his wife moved away and left him because he was borderline poor. He even added that the irony of it was that the very next day, the state issued him an amazing home and budget. All because he was the first person to ever make a Chimera that speaks English. (Chimeras are beasts that are two or more creatures combined into one.) Sadly, the chimera shortly died before Edward and Al could see it.

As it turned out though, the state was threatening the man that if he couldn't do something that would allow him to stay in the military, he'd be poor again. When his daughter saw him in distress, he ended up hugging her tightly and telling her he's at the end of his line. Now you're all probably asking me: "What's the point with all this information?"

Near the end of the episode, Edward was kicked out of Shou's home by the military for snooping around for private documents. So when night struck, he broke into Shou Tucker's home and found a hidden basement where he found several caged chimeras growling. Shou Tucker was there, practically bragging that he'd finally managed to create another talking chimera. One he was sure wouldn't die. He introduced the two characters to his newest creation:

This was the chimera Tucker created. You know, there's only one way a chimera could possibly know/learn the human tongue from the getgo...
