Mahjong for the win

Happy belated birthday, [livejournal.com profile] fujurpreux! ^_^

OMG MAHJONG.

I'm so, so, so, SO glad Yuuko is back in action. I missed you so much! T___T Meanwhile, I'm the one of the rare people in fandom who loves Yuuko because she's so Yuuko-ish and amazing and funny, and not because she provides D/W subtext. Sigh. Recognize Yuuko beyond that, for Mokona's sake.

OMG MAHJONG. Exorcism by playing mahjong could only happen in this manga. I must be insane, because any China reference turns my ship-radar on. Gee, I wonder who could've told her such obscure fact about Chinese exorcisms! It's not like ever she knew anyone who lived in China, no sir-ee. *kills plotbunnies with a kitchen knife* Also, can we set "Mahjong Solitaire" as an optional shipname for Clow/Yuuko, pleeeeease?

OMG MAHJONG. I loved how the circle-1 tiles had a Mokona on them X3

OMG MAHJONG. It brings me back to Gohou Drug in a good way. Heck, even in the way Watanuki gets the tiles over his head while losing, just like Kazahaya. Of course, Yuuko and Kakei must play mahjong together like the BFF they are. Maybe she got the idea of playing mahjong with her boys and embarrass Watanuki in the process from Kakei himself. *stabs more bunnies*

OMG MAHJONG.

And Yuuko's faces are so made of awesome *o* Decided! I'll be making a Yuuko mood theme! And some icons! *kills the iconbunnies who tried to hump the surviving plotbunnies*

If you excuse me, I'm craving some mahjong solitaire.

ETA: For my own reference, Wikipedia's entry for the manga AKAGI.

Yeah. Yuuko has so many and complex functions in CLAMPverse sometimes I feel they understimate her a bit as a character. She might not be the main character in neither of the series she's in, but she's like an axis who keeps the plots together. She's not even just a drunkard woman who just lives to tease and torment the uke the easily annoyed boy who works for her. I don't know. You can like her or dislike her or be indifferent to her, but do it taking this into consideration.
