Some evil FMA AUs etc that I think are fun
Riza Hawkeye creating a squad of flame alchemists loyal to her and using them for her own (or Mustang's) purposes
Mustang's body used as a host for Greed instead of Ling's
Rose joins the military to try to watch over Ed, a la Hawkeye to Mustang
Sibling homunculi defect from Father together with Greed (bonus: to Ed's chagrin, they view him and Al as something like uncles); now they're all on the run from their dads
Ling not feeling easy in his own mind after Greed leaves - it's too quiet in there
Scar gets his brother's reconstruction arm instead
Winry gets adopted & trained by Hawkeye
Re-embodied Al donates his armor to a cat rescue so it can always hold cats hehe
Olivier as the boys' parent figure instead of Izumi
Found family for the boys comprised of Mustang, Hawkeye, the Mustang Gang, and Mustang's family (his "sisters" and Madam Christmas)
Mustang dies instead of Hughes, and Hughes carries on his work to honor his memory, despite not being as ambitious as Mustang was
The boys as Ishvallans

Sitting here trying to figure out why I love Gale's cocksure confidence in his own ability and how it translates to this softer but equally as confident devotion to whoever's romancing him, and with this silly goofier side of him we often get to see that should be more awkward for how bookish and dorky it is, but really just ends up as stupidly endearing when paired with that cockiness.
And then I'm looking at pictures of my first video game obsession (Garrus Vakarian) and going "oh no"

Of course the "why doesn't Batman use his money to fix the system instead of punching the mentally ill" twitter argument is dumb and missing the point (Bruce is not a real person, he did invest a lot of money into helping people in need when he was still rich, it's an action comic, which means violence is going to happen and Gotham is not meant to be fixed, if it was fixed there would be no story), but these past few runs have deconstructed Bruce so much that the people of Gotham or public figures like mayor Nakano thinking Batman is a menace do actually have a point.
I mean, who has Bruce been fighting this entire run? Failsafe and Zur, two evil Batmen of Bruce's own creation. And even in the runs before Zdarsky it was kind of a running theme that Bruce wasn't fighting to save the city from an strange threat, he was fighting someone who had a bone to pick with him for one reason or another. I get that this is supposed to make the story feel more personal, but if you're also constantly asking the question "is Batman doing more harm than good?" then the answer might eventually be "more harm" if you had to be honest. A lot of the many recent takeovers of Gotham had nothing to do with Gotham, they were all about Bruce.
Superhero comics kind of need to have what their protagonists are doing to be helpful though. Of course Batman is not ever going to stop crime in Gotham. But if things don't improve at all or get even worse? Then what did Bruce and his family members sacrifice so much for? And if you seriously think their struggles should have been for nothing because the idea of heroes saving the day is stupid then why are you even writing superhero comics?

Cynical Reviews just dropped a video on an anti-choice propaganda film called "Unplanned" and I cannot believe the balls they had to blatantly lie like this. Actually, I can, because pro-lifers will eat up any anti-abortion propaganda you put in front of them.
I love how this movie deifies the protestors who stand outside of Planned Parenthood and scream "WHORE!!! MURDERER!!!" at teenage girls who are just there for a pap smear or whatever. All while making PP staff look like heartless monsters who laugh about dead babies and force abortions on unwilling girls. I honestly have nothing but disgust for propaganda like this.

Cassie Sandsmark should get to be a sad girl again. She should get violent. Angry. Desperate. She should feel love and deep hate. She should decide never to forgive someone. Push some people out of her life.
She needs to feel a burning love, not necessarily romantic, which would make her do some crazy shit. She should be mad and furious and let her feelings guide her. She should reconnect with her emotions, and feel some real happiness with the people she loves. She should scream and shout and feel pain and punch some shit just for the sake of it. She should be emotional, driven by her feelings, and maybe even kill someone. And god does she need to kiss some girls.

I’ve always kind of assumed Binghe was a good person darkened by hardship the way many complex characters are but now that I stop and think about it, was he ever really “good” in the way that he wanted to help and protect people, even if he didn’t know them? Even starting as a pure and innocent white lotus I don’t know if he could be classified as anything other than neutral

it's so fun replaying this fully removed from the singleminded awareness of the paladin class (which infiltrated everything on my first run; I even forgot to pickpocket people with Astarion most of the time... like cmon) into a sorcerer who truly does not give a single fuck about the gods or ceremonies or righteousness or universal rule. babygirl does NOT care. can you just give me the bear man that I barely talk to back
