All of them were re-encoded and originally uploaded by SkyLord. Each episode is around 98 MB, but they’re still good quality. If a link doesn’t work for you, please let me know. Enjoy!
MANGA
First off, there’s the manga. It was written by Hiromu Arakawa and ran from 2001-2010, with 108 chapters and 27 volumes. You can read it online, or you can download it in the form of folders with images for the pages. But of course, if you can, I suggest going out and buying (or renting) the volumes, which were translated by Viz Media and can probably be found at your local book or comic store in the manga section or even your library, for two reasons: 1) to support the series, and 2) because it’s much more satisfying in my opinion to have the book in your hand while you read. But it’s expensive and inconvenient in a lot of cases, so reading it online is okay, too! It’s the same story either way! (I’m not sure of the validity or safety of the download links, sorry about that.)
ANIME (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD)
Hulu (sub, only 4 episodes dubbed)
Fullmetal Alchemist was adapted by BONES into two animes—the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist, which is wildly different from the manga because the manga was still running at the time it was made, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which is faithful to the manga. Let’s just focus on Brotherhood, though. Brotherhood is extremely well-made and all-around fantastic, though the manga includes a lot more of Arakawa’s humor. It’s been dubbed by Funimation Entertainment, who do a pretty good job with the dub, although the dialogue is better in the sub, in my opinion. You can download or stream them online, though you need a video player such as the KM Player (if you have a PC) or the VLC player to play the downloaded episodes on. The downloads are pretty reliable, although the dubbed episodes’ download takes a long time to download.
Enjoy!

I always enjoy projects/tips that involve turning scrap material into something pleasing. In this case: Wee Mouse Tin House:
The PDF pattern is now available in the shop. (It’s also now available here for download.) This makes a great little portable friend to have in your purse or backpack. It’s made with scraps you probably have laying (lying?) around.
I’ve taken all the guesswork out of the sizing for you and also included lots of my tricks and tips to make construction very easy. So don’t be afraid of tiny! You can do it. Lots of diagrams to explain each step, as usual. Y’all know how I love me some diagrams.

Final post (for today!) on reusing books:
The retailer Anthropologie (previously here), known for its wildly creative window displays, put dozens of altered books to use in this store display.
If you’d like to try your hand at making folded-page objects*, check out patterns — hearts! skulls! Christmas trees! — featured on the Rhymes With Magic blog here.
Also, this Sutherland Library video provides simple folding instructions.

I “performed” this “dance” for video reference of this kid in episode 302 of Avatar, “The Headband.” I rarely shy away from making a complete ass of myself in the name of fun, so I thought I’d share this with you guys. This was taped back in 2006, but I think my back still hurts.


Favorite ASOIAF Characters (in no particular order) | Stannis BaratheonIt was justice. A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.#y’all we need to talk about stannis’ idea of justice #and how it is not a dedication to any sort of higher external ideal#it is about how stannis can’t stand for liars and decievers #it is about how he needs everyone to be up front with him #he is up front with them and they should return it #you do x you get y reaction #that is how it will always be #there is no z #there is no third option #x gets y #no tricks #no plans #no plots #stannis wants people to be honest #to not dally around the truth #stannis isn’t about ideals #he has laid down the rules that everyone else has ignored #and he is the only one following them #and he is ignored for it he is forgotten and laughed at #stannis tries to fit westeros into a logical paradigm with which he can cope #you hold storm’s end you get storm’s end #fingers for smuggling and a knighthood for onions #solid iron truths #and finally these rules have UNQUESTIONABLY gotten him something #the iron throne is MINE #by rights #and no one can question that
