something i love about fma is how the personification of lust is this sexy busty lady, so you expect her to be actually horny all the time as her namesake would imply, but that’s not the case. yes, she’s lustful, but it’s a totally different kind of lust, it’s bloodlust.
and it makes sense. why would the dwarf in the flask have any actual lust or desire to have sex in any way? he lacks that, but he still has human emotions and goals, as we see through his other 6 sins. he had bloodlust, it’s pretty obvious from how he acted before the fall of xerxes too.
lust is also an object of lust and uses this to her advantage, but this is a bit more of an example of irony. you also get a lot of innuendo with her, but in fma, lust never actually… lusted. she was never horny. but she was cruel, she left mustang to bleed to death and watch havoc die, she was excited to kill meas, she was pleased with herself when she told riza that roy was dead, she enjoyed killing 48. her sin is bloodlust.
when she died at the hands of mustang she didnt exactly leave off on a horny note, she said “i love how cold and focused your eyes are. i look forward to the day when those eyes will be wide with agony. it’s coming.”
which just shows how far her bloodlust goes, she wants to see him suffer. it’s also really good foreshadowing to mustang’s eventual blinding, she must’ve known he was a potential sacrifice.
