“Will I think the world is colder?” –CMV/AMV Saturday (06/02/18)

The Nature of Greed — “FMAB” POST SERIES, PT 2

[Massive Spoilers] "I'm Greed," he says. "I'm greedy." In a way similar to (and yet removed from) homunculus Gluttony's all-encompassing appetite, homunculus Greed knows only want. Created by Father (or "the dwarf in the flask") from one of said villain's basest parts, Greed very quickly becomes his own man in that he---you guessed it---wants more than …
