What insomniacs do: look for plotholes
Aug. 9th, 2006 12:13 pmI look at this Neil Gaiman book cover and I think: uh, CLAMPish. I'm that one-minded like that.
Gah, FMA chapter, come early T_T
At, I don't know, 2:00 am of today I decided to make notes on the entire Card Captor Sakura timeline in manga, to indulge my precanon bunnies.
...
Except I discovered there isn't one. Fuuuuuuuck.
No, really. Decembers, Valentine days, change of uniforms. Those things occur too fast. From one chapter to another there can be an unspoken transition of months, even whole seasons!
It's just that it doesn't match. I counted four springs! We started in 4th grade and 2nd of high school. When the cards are changed, Sakura shouldn't still be in elementary school, while Touya shouldn't still be in school period.
CLAMP just didn't care. That's it, simple as that.
But then again, unlike the anime, it's never mentioned they actually pass to a new school term (yes, I checked). So is this a case of a Peter Pan kind of manga, Ouran style, in which they never change the age and school year?! How old are they, then? Are they permanently 10 the kids and 17 the teens?
I love this. The time is all fucked up. This kills so many in-between-canon bunnies.
( Oh well. But I'm taking precanon stuff seriously though )
