He should creep me out more

I've been rereading Gohou Drug. Some non-spoilery thoughts:

- The déjà-vuuuuuuuuus! They burrrrn.

- Fuck Rikuou/Kazahaya. Kakei/Saiga is way hotter.
- However, R/K > D/W. A LOT.

- I can see some facial recycling around, Nekoi. Kazahaya's spaz moments and Watanuki's resemble so much they freak me out *see point #1*

- Dude, I can't recall where I saw it exactly, but there was a Sweet Valerian crossover in GD. But that anime was released later, right? Must've been they were working on the designs at the time?

- Kakei is so evil.
- Not only evil, but he has an evil grin.
- CLOW-DERIVATE kind of grin!
- However, Kakei is way more evil than anyone in the Clow derivate chart put together. Fo' sure.
- Really. Eriol looks like an amateur.
- Okay, I'll stop making checkpoints on Kakei's grin.

- I'll give you this quote now:

Kakei: I was waiting for him (Kazahaya) and Rikuou to meet, and him to arrive here.
Saiga: I know...
Kakei: This is why I opened this drugstore. Both of those kids are very important to protect the others.


Fine, ignoring the last line because we'll never know WTF he's talking about until the series returns...
OMG WTF DEJA-VU?!
What's up with CLAMP's salesmen in that dimension town training kids with paranormal powers?! First Clow/Eriol Kakei, then Yuuko... Is this a conspiracy of sorts? *is paranoid*

- I'm still wondering where the fuck Kazahaya was studying in with Kei. I still like my "this world is the past of Clover's world, and they were in some Clover prototype project thing" theory.

- Saiga and his sunglasses still break my brain. I bet he's missing one or two eyes, but why is he hiding them? Are they some sort of seal to his powers, maybe? Or he's like Cyclops and shoots laser beams from his eyes? XD

I´m so there with you. In both statements.

I don't know why Kakei/Saiga is so overlooked. So canonically smutty it looks too forward for CLAMP's regular ghey standards. Saiga sleeps on his fucking lap! The touching and kissing and licking!

maybe is the canon thing, yeah. it´s a pity, they are sexy and their relationship is facinating.

I don't know, the canonness doesn't seem enough to be ditched. I've seen canon slash couples in several fandoms getting their own little cults.

Maybe it's because they're not the main characters. Or because they're both adults and that's "old". Or because the fangirls like their slash dumb, and this ship is too intelligent for them. Or the Kazahaya crossdressing is receiving all their attention.

LOL

Maybe it's because they're not the main characters. Or because they're both adults and that's "old".

That totally reminds me of many of my pairings.

it sucks that slash is fashionable these days. in my slash days of youth (ah, those were the days, yes) if you shipped a slash couple most of the people would go "ewwwwww" at you, not to mention the 13-year-old idiotic girls that go crazy over things like Envy/Ed these days. i used to be flamed on the mere reason that my fics were slash. that was cool! we were few but proud!

and now slash is nothing new and people is running to incest. noes! get your hands off my incest, fangirls! you do not belong here!

Saiga and his sunglasses still break my brain.

You know, I always figured he was clairovoyant and his eyes look kind of strange because of it. If he's clairvoyant, then he sees things that are happening in the present, psychically. My theory is that the reason he's asleep all the time is because he's actually using this ability to look for Rikuou's lady friend. *shrug* It's just a theory, since I don't know if we'll ever figure out what's up with the big lump o' tuna...

That's one of my theories, actually. It does make a lot of sense.

Hey, I cannot remember, though I love GD dearly. Are Kakei and Saiga their LAST names? We don't know their full names anyway, do we?

As for the face recycling, is Kazahaya totally a direct result of Wish or what? He has Kohaku's hair style and what's his name's last name. LOVE CHILD. XD

I don't think we got to know if they were first or last names, actually. But no, no full names were given.

Could be XDDD Or they just like that last name a lot. They also used Mihara quite a bit. Imagine if Chiharu from CCS was a long-distance ancestor of Icchan and Oujirou XD

Mysterious!

I have no idea where I put the scans, but I vaguely remember the Wish, Kudou name thing being a question in the Kiseki featuring GD. And CLAMP was like, "Errrr....not telling."

Harharhar!

We're still on Kiseki #8 in Spain, so I had no idea. I only read the X interviews' translations online.

[identity profile] iamsocool12345.livejournal.com 2006-04-03 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I never saw translations for the others online really either, and I'd do them but they are DENSE DENSE DENSE. I just skim them and cry when I realize CLAMP's reasoning behind everything really seems to be "WE SORTA FELT LIKE IT TEE HEE."

Here is the part that really gets me: in the Tsubasa interview, CLAMP says it's harder to write than Holic is because they have to actively dumb Tsubasa down. Ugh.

Oh, I know. And most of the times, the questions they made to them aren't even that interesting. I want to know about plotholes, not about the difficulties you had to get x character's hair right!

...there are no words. Really. that explains a couple of things...

[identity profile] chibiyuuto.livejournal.com 2006-04-03 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed Kakei is one of my favorites know-it-all charas, I love him more now that I think he's Yuuko's secret friend.

As for the Sweet Valerian Crossover, it was there because CLAMP created them back in the late 90's. They were part of their official Site and were called Vaionic Missy (or something like that xD).

Kazahaya is TOTALLY Watanuki with Kohaku's hair + 2 years older. Their expressions are so alike (the very same in fact XD), even their personality.

>This is why I opened this drugstore. Both of those kids are very important to protect the others.

I SO DID NOT REMEMBER THAT !!!!! O.O When did he say it?
No idea either on what the hell those 2 are important for the others...

Volume 3, one of the extra stories, when Rikuou brings Kazahaya from dying in the snow and Kakei greets him in the front of the store.

Ow I remember that one, will check later, thanks !

I miss Drug so much. What was it they said? 1/5th of the story was done? 1/5th! So frustrating, especially since it has so much potential that's probably retroactively feeding into XXXHolic right now. I want it to be active so that it all can feed into eachother and become one big complicated mess.

They shouldn't have to dumb Tsubasa down. Just go with it CLAMP! Kids aren't that stupid.

Uh, duh, but I'm talking about a SV crossover that happened at least one or two years before XXXHOLiC existed.

And also, in volume 1, the TV at the computer-addicted woman's house was broadcasting the Sweet Valerian anime. I believe there was a bunny plushie around, too.

Doble de bulla, doble de gritos, pero doble de diversión.
