taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Yuuko / You learn)

Ugh stress

So, don't expect me around until the 31st. I have
- one assignment due Thursday
- one final on Monday
so I shouldn't even touch IM software at all.

I will be checking the flist now and then, though. And the email.

For [livejournal.com profile] elihice, Top five things you would love to see in a fandom.
Okay, I'm going to be random fandom specific here. Again, no order whatsoever.
1. Clow & Yuuko flashbacks, IN XXXHOLiC.
2. Yuuko insinuating she had/has a crush on Clow. Not likely, though.
3. More Clow country scenes that WON'T be Sakura-Syaoran centric. Touya, Yukito, Touya/Yukito, the King, Fujitaka... and the fucking ruins, of course.
4. Following characters crossovering in Tsubasa: ERIOL, Subaru, Hokuto, ERIOL, Kamui, ERIOL, CCS guardians... did I mention Eriol?
5. Crap, I spent 4/5 on CLAMP? >o< Uh, okay. It's a tie between Roy somehow pwning Bradley and escaping with Riza and all his group (and the Elric brothers, of course), suddenly Ling being the one controlling Greed and not the other way around, Mei being inside Al's armor because they need someone who can do alchemy, Lan Fan period. And in Bleach, I just want Ishida back and the DBZesque battles to be fewer, dammit.

Oh, and some thought for you, spoilerrific. If the Empress dies with no heirs since she's a lesbian and is doing Souma, would Tomoyo have to seize the throne, or is she stuck as the miko princess forever? Can she be Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi simultaneously?

Because the trend of kings and queens being teh ghey and having their little sisters as heirs... gosh, CLAMP.

(This question has been brought you by annoying Tomoyo/Kurogane fanbrats who don't bother reading the canon spoilers, and yet write stuff about a "King of Japan" and how Tomoyo becomes "Queen" after he dies [with Kurogane as his king, of course *gags*]. Dude, don't bother writing fanfic without being up to date with Japanese releases! There's a reason I don't dare making so many assumptions on Clow country fic: CLAMP is bound to contradict them!)

suddenly Ling being the one controlling Greed
You know, I think that one's plausible. Ling *is* very strong, and he knows what his objective is... or maybe it's just my wishful thinking. Heh.

If Yuuko ever insinuates there was something between her and Clow, it will be sooo subtle that we'll be left forever wondering if it's really there or only in our shippy minds. I just know that, because CLAMP are evil and like to play with our brains. :(

Oh, and: the main problem with kings and queens being teh ghey and having little sisters as heirs is that, in Japan, the little sister in question is teh ghey too.

Shhhh, don't tell that to the Tomoyo/Kurogane fans! Oh noes!

I think I'm lucky about that, because I've only seen sane Tomoyo/Kurogane shippers so far. Then again, I haven't gone to ff.n in ages...

Meanwhile, I heard most of the Kuromoyo fanbrats are former Eriol/Tomoyo fans or homophobe CCS!Tomoyo fans in denial. Therefore, a good percentage of them are bound to be batshit.

I remember a thread in a board in which everyone was ditching FaiKuro because it was so gay, and yaoi is yucky. Everyone liked T/K and F/Chii, obviously, and nobody mentioned the possibilities of Ashura/Fai. Soemone even went and say "ugh, who could like Fai and Kurogane together!" and I was like "er, I do. don't ship them entirely, but it's canonically more plausible than T/K." They changed the subject some posts later and ignored my comment. Not posting in that thread ever since; it's full of pink fangurls.

I still think the creepiest of those pairings is Fye/Chii, by far. *shudders* As much as I hate Ashura, at least he's not a blow-up doll...

And it's furry, also.

Eww.

... you know, I think Star Trek made me immune to inter-species pairings, because I didn't even think of that. And I don't think it would bother me.

The best explanation of why I hate Fye/Chii, and will still hate it if it turns out to be canon, is in the line "Fye can do anything with Chii because he made her" (or something, I'm paraphrasinng). Just... aaargh. :x

Myabe Fai has some sort of Pygmalion complex. Either that or Chi is the unfortunate result of Fai's teenage years...

Anything related to Chobits is by it's very nature disturbing to think about.

They way Yuuko mentions and talks about Clow gives me a distinct mini-ex feel.

As for Tomoyo, well, it seems apparent to me she'd be next in line. If Tomoyo needs an heir to inherit the throne she might still decide to have a child despite the lesbianism. That would be reality stepping in there. I keep thinking about Suikoden V and how the Queendom of Falena doesn't award the title of king to the husband of the Queen, he just ends up as 'the queen's husband.' Ha Ha.

So, yeah, stay out of the pit of voles. It's vile.

As for the Kuro/Tomoyo people... like I said, if they ever ended up together it would be for politics, not love. Though I'm sure they do care for eachother, it's certainly not romantic love.

I'm not touching Fai's relationship chart. He's like the Tsuzuki of Tsubasa.... except everyone isn't trying to jump in his pants (and he hasn't had a mental breakdown... yet.)

"I don't want to see that bastard again! he broke my heart, snif"

Yeah. Or maybe Tomoyo's sister will the one marrying someone in order to have descendants. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, doesn't Queen Elizabeth's husband have the generic title of Prince? So really, it's rare when queen's husbands get the king title IRL and most of the fandoms.

I can't see Kurogane marrying her, but that's just me. If they're anything like the real Japanese imperial family, she'll end up marrying a nobleman or another country's prince or king. Kurogane might be a Lord's son, but he's still sort of a servant. I see their relationship as something platonic, in a sibling kind of way.

Hahahaha XD Fai in a mental breakdown like Tsuzuki would be scary. And who knows; they really makes us think whether those dead guardians around the Ashura castle were killed by Fai or not. So I guess he's not a guilty-feeling kind of person, if that's the case. Neither is Kurogane, who's proud in a very samurai kind of way of the deaths by his hands.

Good luck with the work! I should really get around to doing mine. I think any flashbacks in holic would be good to give us any sort of insight on either Yuuko or Watanuki. I hope FMA will have some Roy scenes next chap, but im not really counting on it. URRG I hate when people write fanfics and they aren't caught up in a fandom, I mean its' like a common courtesy. Im sure if I ever wrote a fic it would become AUish within the next chap, though v.v

random: ahh i'll be 18 the day after you're done with your work :3!!

Well, they're taking the hobbits to Isengard the brothers to Wrath. Roy is with Wrath. There's a high chance he'll be back next month, or the one after.

I highly doubt we'll get any Yuuko flashback. After the Mokona book, they forgot about her past.

Unless Fei Wang says something about her and/or Clow's past. I think that's the only way.
