Blond with epic angsty past: not the one you're thinking
Okay. So. I CALLED FLASKTHING. I should've trusted my instincts and not starting to believe it was Pride because all of you thought so. But I still saw it first, and I'm proud somehow. Or whatever.
Hoho is sexy. Men with books have that effect on me. Ask Scar's brother. Oh wait, you can't XPPP
Xerxes' destruction was all epic and creepy. I digged it, even if it felt rushed. Father is a bastard. And the Xerxes king wanted the same thing Ling and Mei's father does, which is an odd parallel. It's especially convenient for Father to have Greed infiltrated in the body he is now :/ If they don't save Amestris, Xing will so be next.
Some things I picked up:
- The alchemical ritual was done at the place Edward visited at the ruins. I find it interesting.
- Hohenheim is calling people out after the devastation. And they're the same names he muttered that time, saying "sorry for using you". Of course, they were part of the sacrifices that brought him to become a living Pstone. It was cool fore(back?)shadowing.

kirarakim was mentioning that perhaps Hohenheim got more Pstone than Father, and that's why the former won't age while the latter does. I'll copy-paste what I commented her:
I'm not sure that Father really 'ages' or that Hoho got more stone. Maybe it was all the homunculus-making what consumed him? Now, aren't the other homunculi made from him? The more he "shares" his Pstone around with his creations, the weaker and most senile he gets, or that's my theory.
And it makes even more sense the more I think about it. Why would Father repeat the mass sacrifice on a country? To restore himself with moar Pstone, perhaps.
By the way, there's this dude on Mangahelpers.com working on a text translation.

Yes this does make the most sense with what we've seen so far.
I am also beginning to think that the old theory about Hohenheim teaching alchemy to Xing (while Father brought it to Amestris) is probably true.

I know. I wonder where she's going with the Xing storyline... I'm sure Ling wasn't thinking of *this* when he started looking for the Stone.
